Mysterious occurrences have been happening through the city. Rumors tell about queer looking creatures stalking the shadows, people disappearing from the streets during the night, crime syndicates so powerful that the law can't even touch them and much, much more.

The common men dismiss such tales as nothing but urban legends, fabrications of the collective sub-consciousness of all who inhabit this sprawling jungle of concrete and steel.

However, there are few who know the truth that lies beyond every corner, within the back alleys where the light never shines and above the rooftops where the wind howls fiercely. These persons are know as Chasers, men and women of every age and path in life that always have at least two things in common.

First, they all know that the world is much more than the eye meets, that the supernatural beings wait inside every shadow, waiting to prey on the unwary. And second, somehow everyone of them has seen what lies beyond this world, the other side of reality that is best left unknown to the everyday men, this other world is know as... The Crimson Sky.



All Chasers know of the Crimson Sky, in fact the ability to get in and out of there is the first and foremost difference between a normal human and a Chaser, and most of them gained their other abilities when they were sent there by accident, or dragged there by one of the Crimson Sky's inhabitants.

Entering and leaving the Crimson Sky can only be done during the night, for those who know how to do it, it is just a matter of crossing the right street or turning a in the correct direction corner. However, the easy with which it's done, meaning the number of places where the crossing can be done, varies with the phases of the moon, being much harder on new moon and almost childishly easy on the full moon nights.

The Crimson Sky is home to a number of different creatures that the Chasers dubbed Youkai for easy of reference. Some of them are friendly, some indifferent, but the great majority are nothing but predators always seeking their next meal.



Welcome to the world of Chasers: Boundary of the Crimson Sky. This is a world of rooftop jumping action, supernatural beings hunting and eldritch mysteries stalking behind every corner.

Your character is a Chaser, a human with supernatural powers/skills that allow them to bring the fight back to the dwellers of the Crimson Sky.

A large city located somewhere on Japan's coast, it boosts an incredible variety of locations, from the Setsuna Mountains, inhabited by a variety of ancient and powerful spirits, to the Old Port/Industrial District, ran by the worst of Sonomachi's scum. This is a city that stands at a unique position in the conflict between the Crimson Denizens (commonly known as Youkai) and the Chasers, because of the concentration and power of the passages between both worlds, earning it the nickname of "Maelstrom of Strife".

The only other known place with so much resonance between the Crimson Sky and the Human World is the city of Prague, back in the heart of the Old World.



Humans who dedicate their lives to fight off the threat posed by the rogue denizens of the Crimson Sky. They wield special powers and, sometimes, Treasures to assist them in their struggles and come from the most varied walks in life, united only by the flimsy banner of their cause.



Denizens of the Crimson Sky, the Youkai are beings composed primarily of Spiritual Power and can come in all shapes and forms, though, most assume the guise of humanity, even if temporarily. They follow a flimsy hierarchy that is based on each individual's power level, which is turn is based mostly on said individual's age, meaning that the older an Youkai is, the more on top of the Crimson Sky's food chain they are likely to be.





A parallel world, beyond the boundary and borders of the everyday men's reality. It envelops and overlaps with the Human World on the places they are closest, meaning that a city on the Human World will be all but perfectly copied on the Crimson Sky, with the noticeable difference that there will be no humans around.

Pretty much any damage caused on the Crimson Sky will not be reflected on the Human World, even if you demolish a building it'll not do anything to its "real" version, unless the barrier between both worlds is exceptionally flimsy at the time. The contrary, isn't valid (most of the time), since the Crimson Sky get's "reset" at each sunset of the Human World, being a fresh impression of how the later looked at that time. Exceptions might happen to places of great concentration of Spiritual Power, such as a temple, or a hospital, since the laws binding both worlds get warped by strong concentrations of power.

Lastly, the Crimson Sky derives its name from its most defining characteristic, the sky that is bathed in the blood red light of the Moon that hangs ominously overhead. Inside the Crimson Sky, the time seems to go slower, and the night is permanent; the Sun never been allowed to touch this cold land. This discrepancy means that staying for extended periods of time in the Crimson Sky is a taxing task for humans and there's no known reports of anyone who survived for more than a week locked in that realm. The contrary is valid as well, since most Youkai can't survive on the Human World for extended periods of time; their Spiritual Power slowly drained, making then disappear little by little, this being the prime cause of Youkai attacks on humans to steal their Spiritual Power for themselves allowing for a continued existence on the Human World.



Special items said to break the rules of reality, like a ring that makes the user immune to flames, a chime that can put those who listen to its tune to sleep, or a sword that can cut someone's spirit, without leaving a single wound on their flesh. These items are by their very nature extremely rare and to posses even one is the mark of powerful individual; during the whole recorded history it's said that no one had more than three treasures at a single time. To affirm the contrary is to declare oneself as a fool.



A gathering of the Chasers from all around the world, the Association offers help and support as well as basic handling on the maintenance of the Masquerade, by keeping the common people in the dark about the Chasers' activities. Sometimes, the Association issues bounties and missions for the Chasers and handles any reward they get. A member is expected to pay an annual fee based on their earnings, though it can be postponed if there's undeniable proof that a Chasers can't cover it for that year.

To turn one's back at the Association, or break their very lax set of rules, is to have a deathwish, since their priority is to keep the general populace safely in the dark about the truth of this world.



A coalition formed and ran by Miss Chikage Akane, probably the most powerful Youkai known, the Junction serves as a node to protect the Youkai who aren't dangerous to human lives and has a similar role in upholding the Masquerade, and handling of missions as the Hunters' Association, though their ultimate goals differ greatly.

The worldwide headquarters of the Youkai Junction are the rundown alleys of Sonomachi's Old Downtown, popularly known as the Youkai Ghetto, most properly speaking the Red Cloud Music Store, Chikage's personal facade business.



Shorthand for Yotsuba Technology Corporation, the worlds' lead technological conglomerate, having businesses in fields that range from pharmaceutical products, to fine electronics, military grade weaponry, power generation, so on and so forth.

They are also (unknown to the main public) the lead in Crimson Sky and Youkai research, having little to no morals in their pursuit for global monetary supremacy. With such a track, it's no wonder that YTC is the main opposing force to both the Hunters' Association and the Youkai Junction.

YTC is officially ran by a Shadow Council, whose true identities are unknown even among themselves (or so is said); the official face of the company is Edward Harker, a man better not to be crossed, any further information isn't known.

@GrafRoy Zeppeli

Your character is ok, though I'd like you to wait a bit and see if @TheWindel, or @McFazzer has anything else to say, before posting him at the CS tab.

Sure, I shall wait. I'm gonna be busy today, anyway.

And there she is. I think that's it. If there are any problems with her, do tell and I will do my best to address them~

Liking your character because she likes tacos.

As long as it isn't from Taco Bell and actual tacos, that is.

oh yeah, it's actual tacos. Ugh, I can't stand Taco Bell myself either. She'd probably shoot something from taco bell xD

Then I like her even more. And now I am craving some tacos. :v

@GrafRoy Zeppeli

Looks fine by me. Please place him into the Character Tab.

@Rune_Alchemist

Looks fine, but just one question. What alignment does she work for?

@GrafRoy Zeppeli

@Rune_Alchemist

...you mean her moral alignment? Chaotic Good, obviously. Blowin' shit up, kicking ass, and saving people all at the same time.

Otherwise? uh, the Chasers I guess? I didn't realize we could chose. Apologies if that wasn't clear.

@Rune_Alchemist

Ah. I was confused since her bio says she works for the Crimson Sky. Which is kind of impossible since the Crimson Sky is a location, not a group.

Subject to change as per GMs' discretion.

I'll make a cs whenever I can.

@Rune_Alchemist

Ah. I was confused since her bio says she works for the Crimson Sky. Which is kind of impossible since the Crimson Sky is a location, not a group.

ah.

Derp. That's my bad, I'll fix that.

@Hawlin@Rune_Alchemist

You're both ok with me.

@KoL
So...we wait for the others to OK it as well?

Reposting sheet because CTRL+C CTRL+V is what makes the world go round.

Also, @Hawlin glad you didn't change the name.

@j8cob Here I was about to make the guard to Luciel's rapier plated with silver ^^; (Still might edit that part in since its otherwise an insignificant choice of aesthetic finesse)
But yeah. I can see how they'd very easily get along. Still not sure about the name, but I guess that's what nicknames are for.
