In modern time, monsters have to do everything they can in order to survive. This means living in secrecy within the regular world. In order to do this all new generations of monsters attend a secret school that exists between worlds. This school called Yokai Academy. A boarding school where the students must all attend classes in human forms in order to learn to fit into the human world. The Academy was founded by the three Dark Lords; Dracula, Asura, and Kishin. Three powerful God-like beings who have decided for there to be peace in the world instead of war. Most humans know nothing about the existence of monsters, only certain members of society have been granted the knowledge and they are trusted friends of the Dark Lords.

This roleplay is VERY LOOSELY based off the anime Rosario Vampire, but is based in a new universe with new characters and everything, a world where even Dracula wants peace. What ya'll think? this will be a pretty basic simple roleplay that may have some chaotic moments. There wont be any human characters for various reasons and certain types of creatures wont be allowed (for various reasons). (Namely, Shinso Vampire, God-related types, and similar things, I WILL do back checks on your chosen creature in order to insure it's not overpowered.)

Note: Some race may seem different compared to what you wished, I will inform you if there is anything that needs changed about the race in terms to this specific lore.

I'll try my hand. Do these monsters have to be from Japanese culture (since they are the ones who coined 'yokai') or can we take a monster that has their roots in another culture?

@Ammokkx @ViannaNight @arowne97
lol nice Arowne97.

No it doesn't have to be from Japanese culture Ammokkx, it's just the name from the anime where the concept came from, not to mention Yokai always sounds nicer than some other names.

Make a CS and we'll see ViannaNight, I'll look up some information about Naga, only information I really have is from games like Warcraft so I simply need to learn more about them.

Name: Haru Mochizuki
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Race: Doppelganger
Race Information: Doppelgangers are able to copy the form and abilities of nearly any other living thing they've seen before, and are known to copy humans' forms in order to cause large amounts of cruelty in that person's name, though someone who is close enough to the person they copy will notice the differences. They also cannot copy the abilities of those who are far more powerful than they themselves are, though their bodies are extremely malleable and they can change forms on a whim.
Appearance: Human form:

His Yokai Form is basically any form he feels like taking, since Doppelgangers don't really have a from of their own.

o.o weren't Nagas originally thought to be a subspecies of some kind of deity, though now they're considered to be similar to lamias?

Might be. There is so many different ideas where the Naga came from. That is just what I found was that they were subspecies of dragon.

Sometimes they're referred to as either a subspecies of dragon or a cousin to the lamia. Apparently they were first thought of as a type of deity though. :P

@olcharlieboi This looks like an interesting RP to take part in. ...Would it be okay if my character is a human (to make things interesting)?
If not, I can go with a Kitsune, or some other monster. ^^"

Left out the bio because it's literally the same as a backstory. A detailed description of someone's life.

Name:
Symphane Sylvio

Age:
17

Gender:
Male

Race:
Stymphalian Bird

Race Information:
Stymphalian birds are carnivorous birds of prey, with feathers made of metal. The main body can come in various formslike a regular bird, but their beaks are always bronze. They can shoot out their feathers like arrows and have an armor-piercing beak, being able to break any armor. They're weak to soft materials, since their bodies are made for stabbing and not cutting. Every feather is also razor-sharp. Most of the time the feathers are of Silver or Steel, but some odd cases of other kinds of metal have also inhabited some of their feathers. Also, when hearing clangs or rattles of any kind the Stymphalian Bird gets agitated by it, drawing them out and making them angrier.

Appearance:
In human form Symphane is a well dressed, dark gray haired boy. They have amber eyes and a rather small nose. His hair is neatly combed to the right side of his head, coming down a few centimeters above the shoulders. Symphane's clothes are comprised of a one-piece, silver suit with a white tie resting atop a black, featureless shirt. His shoes are a similar shade of white. He doesn't have any powers in this form, and has to instead transform into his real body to do anything meaningful.



Backstory:
Symphane comes from a flock of his kind, being raised in a nest like any regular bird. Due to the advancement of mankind the stymphalian birds have been forced to go into hiding and are slowly dying out. At one point the leader of the flock decided that they couldn't live like they used to anymore, so everyone needed to take on a human form and try to live with humans that way. Most of them were opposed to this idea and migrated away from the flock, living out their lives the best of their ability. Some families, however, saw no other way. Symphane was personally opposed to the idea but had no say in the matter, so the male was forced to attend Yokai Academy under direct order from his parents. While he doesn't want to be human, there's no other choice left for him.

Personality:
Symphane is well mannered for the most part, but also kind of mean. His words always have an underlying hint of venom to them as if he resents the idea of even conversing with someone else. Nevertheless he will remain polite and almost never loses his cool.

@Guardian Angel Haruki
it would be interesting but I have already marked humans as a no go since I'd rather not see a character get murdered once they find out that person is human, or to just see him instantly killed should he get into a fight with a monster.

@arowne97
....your knowledge atm might put me to shame.. I only know decent chunks of mythology in regards to Greek/Roman, Norse, and Egyptian. though I am lacking on Egyptian the most... otherwise I barely know anything else lol you may just become my co-GM.

@ViannaNight
mainly just see a list of strengths, do they not have any real known weakness? most monsters usually have something they either lack or something that affects them negative when in contact.

@Ammokkx
Bio technically isn't same as a back story. Back story is the history of the character while the Bio is detailed information about the character. like their personality, their likes, dislikes, etc... and if I can remember right about Stymphalian birds their weak to certain times to sounds are they not? it disorientates them fairly badly.

technically that is a weakness if it can entirely disorientate them, Bio and Biography is not the same. two different terms.
