To confirm, are all hunters Japanese, or do lineages extend around the globe? If it's the latter, do they have different organizational structures?

@ERode Hunters exist around the globe, and lineages are of every ethnicity. But, this story will focus on "Not Japan" and "Not Japanese" hunters. It's more or less a fictional version of earth.

I put up a character sheet so you guys can get started. Lore on youkai is coming up next.

EDIT: And lore on youkai is up. A few more sections and the lore will be complete, then I'll work on moving this to an OOC thread.

I have a very original idea of a dude with a ree coat and a giant sword
How does a flail weapon sound?
As a heirloom it'd adapt to the protection of an enemy it hits(one enemy only at a time) slowly with each hit so it becomes more devastating with each hit.

@Tomaru

After reading the lore provided, I got a doubt while thinking of character ideas. Since Youkai and Hunters are pretty evenly balanced against one another and Youkai who live among humans have to follow pretty much the same rules as Hunters, can we play as a Youkai character?

Because, if that's the case, I'm probably going to do a kitsune miko.

You're not the first person to mention this, so I'll make a public announcement on it. Youkai hunters are not an impossible concept, but they would be extremely rare. Youkai are permitted to live peacefully among humans and hunters, but when they take the hunter oath, they are swearing to take up arms against their own kin. I'm sure you can see how it would be hard to trust someone to uphold an oath like that. Your kitsune miko, for example, may be told to decapitate their aunt, cousin, or a childhood friend. Hunters can't afford to risk a moment of hesitation in a moment like this. So, I won't deny the concept outright, but I will need a very good backstory to justify why the hunters would let a youkai take the oath.

I'll also say this. Since Youkai hunters are extremely rare, I'll likely only accept one player as a youkai hunter if it comes to that, so I'd say have a backup plan. It just doesn't do for a rare exception to be super-common, you know?

Well, I already had a back up plan in case the idea was going to be rejected. At least now I can try that one first.

I'll probably have something done before the end of this weekend.
