So, would a mongolian be fine? Considering they weren't exactly the kindest of neighbors the story will likely involve The Horde being locked into a stalemate with Anjou and sending out a number of their own into the territories to see whether invasion would be feasible and whether they can help set it up or not.

I am interested! I'll try to make something soon. :)

Edit: Here it is! I just need to draw the picture. BRB.

Oh, this looks really cool! I'll see about a CS as soon as I can. Thinking of moving away from the fold a bit and making a Tibetan or Korean-based character. (Not to say that all the previous characters were bad, of course!)

Dethroning Yu Ru would be difficult if caught. He alongside part of the Gang would be out of Namchon to avoid getting caught and to start gaining new resources, men, and to expand so Chao can dethrone Yu Ru and usurp Anjou for honor and gains for his criminal enterprise.

@Zero Hex I'll allow a Mongolian inspired character, but keep in mind, this is not literal history. I would say that the Mongolians would be from a very distant land, and this would be more of a scouting mission to see if their ambitions of invasion are feasible. You know how when the Mongols invaded Japan, they were annihilated by a typhoon... twice. That's kinda what would happen if they sent their hoards after Anjou right now. Naturally, the scouting mission would turn into a quest to overthrow the fox once they realize just how solid his power is.

@RyuShura Looks good. Just a couple of things. I'll need you to clarify, "her body does not react to the physical world normally like a mortal." Is that simply the things you listed thereafter? If so, that's OK. If it's some kind of intangibility, I'll need you to specify what it is, and it will have to be very limited. Also, I want you to elaborate a bit on the backstory. Why was Juri out of all the spirits chosen to take down Anjou? The elders would have to know she would fail on her own. Just give me a paragraph explaining this decision.

@TojinSounds good!

Now, I'll be typing up a bit more on the world. Hopefully it'll seem like a proper introduction after this.

@Blight Bug Okay. Put that in the profile and it's good to go.

First, I will state that I have no interest in being OP, thus I made her rather weak in combat. So I tried to have every potentially strong ability come with a downside.

Her special spirit body only amounts to the things I listed, tagged along with a few quirks here and there purely for comedy. But nothing of real use. So no intanginility. Probably really old spirits have that ability, but I made her young to limit that power on purpose. If it isn't obvious, I'm the type of player only driven by narrative and development of characters rather than living a power fantasy or being strong in combat. Most of the time that ends up with dead characters. But oh well. XD

As for why the elders picked her? Well, it was quite literally fortold in the stars. I wanted the spirits to be heavy into mysticisms as they are derived from the living energy of the world, thus heavily connected. I imagined how they would fit in this magical society. A sort of spin on the old concept I suppose. They sent her off to discover exactly how accomplish her life-goal on her own, as is custom, but that doesn't mean she's stupid. Shes not going to be marching up the Nine-Tailed lord challenging him to a one on one death battle. She's going to look for help and get stronger. Since I figured you'd want us all to be together together at some point, I thought it be a great reason for her to go and interact with the other players.

Sorry if the lore is vague. I don't really want to put too much detail into the profile because if I put too much, then what would the point of learning about each others characters through interaction, right? When you could just look at the sheet and learn everything, that kinda ruins the surprise for me. If you want details so you can plot aeound it, I feel it is better to discuss over PMs or something.

I hope that answered all your questions! :^D

And I've posted a bit of lore in the first post. It's still pretty bare-bones, but we'll be discovering more about Anjou's areas of influence as the RP goes along. I hope you guys like it.

@RyuShura Vague mysticism and "find your own way" is fine. Just make sure you put that in the profile. Also, it would help to write why Juri is personally invested in this? What happens to her if she fails? Why doesn't she just run off and say "seeya grandpa?" You don't have to flesh out everything about the character, but I would at least like her motivations against Anjou to be clear since that's the main idea of this whole thing.

Well, spirits are not like us. They live with a purpose given at birth. And it is their duty to fulfill it. They view it as an honor, a path to follow granted by the very Gods. Maybe not all spirits share this view, but she wouldn't do it if she didn't want to.

And I thought her motive was clear? If she fails the world will continued to be ruled by the evil lord. I also have a personal purpose for her, but I don't want to ruin the surprise.

I guess I can change the sheet and drop hints here and there.

So yeah, I just thought more about my character earlier. Then I realized that when he transforms into his cat persona, then he'll have to burden everyone with them carrying his weaponry (katana, bow, quiver) just because he can't carry it around in such a small form.

@Hayazo

Perhaps there might be something I can do to prevent that? As much as it would be hilarious to have him constantly saying, "Hey, can you hold this for a little while?" and turn it into some sort of comedic routine...

It might not be the best idea.

@Polaris North I'm generally cool with shapeshifters keeping their clothes and whatnot. I'd say as long as he's wearing it, it transforms with him.

Yo, I fixed the stuff you wanted, while not revealing too much. Tell me if you have any more issues. I don't mind explaining more for anyone.

Well yeah, that seems sensical, but then this is vaguely asia with no real detailing of the lands or anything so I wasn't really sure if this'll be set in NotJapan and whether that'd be all that separate from NotChina, NotKorea etc. I mean you already have a more chinese-sounding character but apparently his home was actually under Anjou's domain?

@Zero Hex It'll be set in NotJapan which is different than NotChina and whatnot, but we'll say the people have been substantially less xeonophobic and there's been a good amount of cultural diffusion to account for Chinese inspired people living in Japanese inspired places.

Right, so it appears it is notJapan then? Well if that's the case, I'll have to tweak my thing then cause when I initially made the dude, I was thinking it was gonna be in notChina that the Evil Fox Emperor was ruling over.

So I'll probably need to mull over that. Maybe criminals from over there started to cause havoc for Namchon's local piracy.

In my head, it's just Anjou's influence spread over the sea.

Maybe influence causing the seas to become harsher than usual. Sailing for legal or unlegal matters just aren't as profitable now, and not as many sea animals in the habitat. Yeah probably a good way to go about it.
