Welcome to kurai eien, a Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler RP. We accept beginner-advanced RPers, and are willing to help people learn as they go. The timeline is set approximately six months after the ending of Kuroshitsuji II, so the old canon characters are still alive as well as new, original characters to have fun with.
When those on the to-die list suddenly start disappearing five days before death, what can the shinigami do? Who is responsible? Angels, demons? Perhaps even shinigami? Which side of the investigation are you on? Not to mention that life must still continue despite this, and when some of the characters are....well, you can look at Grell Sutcliff to find that one out.
Will is the head admin of kurai eien. He has experience in graphic-making and mild CSS, but is still getting used to the Proboards skins. If you need graphics made or have any questions, he's your man. Will plays the strict William T. Spears, adorable Ciel Phantomhive, childish Adrian Pressley, elegant Caelestis Espenson and self-conscious Snake.
Karena is Will's co-admin and second in command. She's fun to be around and is nice about rules and such. Karena is good at plotting things for the story and is a big Sebastian fangirl. If Will's gone, she is able to answer questions for you. Karena plays the lovely demon, Nuriko Takamashi.
Aqua is the first global mod, and third-in-command. She's fun to be around and is Will's honorary onee-chan. Aqua has a habit of finding ways to mess up William's neat rules and stealing typically deadly weapons like death scythes from people. She plays the rebellious Sarah Blackrose.
Grell is the newest global mod. He is Photoshop-certified (and way better than Will at graphics), awesome to be around and an expert on Victorian culture. He's very active and a dedicated Kuro fan (having cosplayed Ciel and Grell among others), so don't hesitate to ask questions! He plays the one and only DEATHLY efficient shinigami, Grell Sutcliff. (You might want to call him 'she' if you don't want trouble.)

kurai eien ova? Okay, maybe it's not an OVA. We wish, though! This is where all the silly RP stuff goes that doesn't fit in with the story. Anything goes, and these are all AU so the characters can be crazy and break the fourth wall or go crazy or whatever you feel like.
