Chapter One: Prologue

Despair.

Such a simple word yet a feeling that no one wants to have in this world.

Hope.

Such a simple word yet a feeling everyone tries to keep in this world.

What they should all know is that, such a thin barrier that separates them. Like two sides of a coin, hope and despair can't coexist without one another. Where there is hope, there is despair. And of course…where there is despair, there is hope.

But what if…to keep such hope in this world, you need to go through such despair? And there comes the question.

Would you want to go through such suffering, such pain, such sadness and such despair to achieve hope?

Or rather…

Would you live in a temporary stasis of hope, covering your eyes from the despair which in turn is the only hope you've got?

Now the question only lies down to you.

Hope?

Or…

Despair?

Either way…despair awaits you in every turn you find hope.

Ehm…and thus I have returned…with a new story. WAIT!

This is bullshit!

It's a rewrite. Yet I know to those of you who have read my old version of the story, I had a rather…tinge of disappointment on it. Not because of the amazing characters that were sent but rather how things went but don't worry, I will keep the 'main core' in tact. Because I dislike beating around the bush, let us commence on the SYOC SF (A.K.A, SYOC Submission Formula)

~ Rules ~

Important bit.

I want those OC's send in ONLY through PM and I shall not accept through reviews.

Second rule, you are allowed to submit canon talents. I do not like to restrict your creativity so send those OC's!

Third rule, I want detailed characters. I want to see them flaws, what makes them tick or something along those lines. Details people!

Fourth rule, you can submit multiple characters, but only one can be accepted. I will not allow first come first serve here okay?

Fifth rule, OC submission ends on 17th of January.

A big note. You can use any nationality but they will all be in Japan, similar to Sonia's status. This story will be using the simple japanese way of addressing one another.

Now that the boring part has been cut off, here is the submission formula below.

What are their quirks and tendencies? Habits? Are they confident of themselves or are they shy? Or perceptive? Do they view things in an optimist way or fall into despair easy?)

Execution: (Optional. Either you give a clue as to how it could go or I make it up.)

[Misc and Speech]

Is your character interest in romance?:
