- Premise -

Hi and welcome to the world of Ishura, an alternate version of earth where the continents were slammed together as a result of a war in the Year 1901 C.E (Common Era), between incredibly powerful beings, known as the Japanese Folklore spirits Daitengu, and their disciples. The aftermath of the war would mark a completely new Era for humanity, every year after being known as A.U or After Union. In this universe, the creatures, spirits, demons, etc, of Japanese Folklore exist and heavily influenced the course of the worlds history.

The most important change in this Universe's History, was the emergence of a genetic mutation, better known as Yokai Gene's (Y.G for short) across the globe. Because the world and it's inhabitants were in close proximity to Yokai, naturally the energy or "Ki" of these mythical beings and creatures would begin to bleed into everything around them. Plants, animals, etc, would begin to involuntarily absorb properties of Ki, and as a direct result, the world would begin to see results of the mutations. Plants would be the first to alarm the change as some became sentient, or would grow in bizarre ways, some even having wildly vibrant color schemes, while others having poisons that could destroy whole sections of forests. Then animals became next, as yokai-esque looking animals began to show up around small towns, while other animals would be seen able to control certain elements or other seemingly magical abilities. Then the first human would surface, with what is now called a "Mutation Marker" that appeared in the form of horns on his forehead. Slowly but surely more humans began to develop traits such as wings, tails, extra arms, two heads, etc. These mutations not only gave a human one trait, but also greatly changed the natural abilities of humans, varying from inhuman speed and dexterity, to increased strength and durability or even heightened senses of smell and hearing.


At first, humans would only have one Mutation Marker and one natural ability that was altered, however that changed when a woman appeared with not one, but two traits. This woman would have wings and horns, and seemingly had all his natural human abilities altered. Not only that but he had the ability to control the weather and materialize a vibrant rainbow colored Katana. She would be known as the first human-being to hold Yokai Shogun Genes or Y.S.G for short. Y.S.G mutations would only appear once out of every ten thousand Y.G holders naturally, meaning they were incredibly rare. A being with Y.S.G would have two or more Mutation Markers, increased natural abilities on all fronts, the ability to summon what would be come to know as a "Soul Binder" or a Katana they can be materialize and dematerialized at will, as well as typically one ability that could be perceived as magical or divine in it's nature. Thus began humanities new societal age, as Y.G and Y.S.G's became more and more widespread with each passing year.

This RP will be taking place in the year 2185 A.U, a dystopian cyberpunk-esque future on Ishura. I have a couple different plots we could do, but the main plot idea I had would be for about 5-6 other people (willing to take more if it gains that much interest). You guys would be playing a group of Y.S.G military operatives, who are tasked by Ishura's government to stop a terrorist group known as the "Banished" from releasing a council of the strongest demons in Jigoku, or the Buddhists version of the underworld.

Other Plots ideas include

-Portals have been opening up in the Brokenlands and letting Yokai escape from Jigoku. We are Wall Defenders, attempting to save Neo-Tokyo from the waves trying to breach it's walls.
-A group of ragtag Y.S.G Mercenaries who are trying to make it in capital of Ishura, the Mega-City Neo-Tokyo.
-A reverse of the main plot, we'd be playing the "Banished".
-A "Death Squad" of Y.S.G soldiers in the J.F (Japanese Federation) siege the Mega-City of Moscow-0, who are trying to secede from Ishura.
-A More sandbox idea, of us just playing Y.S.G Holders who live in Neo-Tokyo.


- Setting -


Our story will be taking place in the far off future of 2185 A.U. In 2185, the world is vastly ahead in means of technology, lifestyles, world views, and general societal hierarchies. On Ishura, there are Five Mega cities Of importance. Them being known as New-Paris (All European Ancestral Decent) at it's Northwest corner and Coast, Moscow-0 at its Northeast Corner and Coast (All Russian Ancestral Decent), San-Washington at its Southwest Corner and Coast (All North, Central and South American Ancestral Decent), Old Kinshasa at its Southeast and coast (Middle Eastern/African/Australian Ancestral Decent) and last but not least, the most important city, Neo-Tokyo (all Asian Countries Ancestral Decent), lay at it's center. Each city spanning thousands of miles wide, all in various different designs and city plans.

All five cities fall under the law and order of the Japanese Federation, or the J.F for short. The J.F took control after the chaos of the Union generally pretty fast as most of their infrastructure was in tact and they happened to have the most Y.S.G soldiers at the time. Of course this wasn't a peaceful takeover. Once the J.F realized they weren't the only surviving government entity, there was a period of hostile take overs, as the J.F mobilized and siege each city at the time. It was a swift and "just" takeover, as the J.F began dictating what was and wasn't allowed. There would be a nation wide ban on the travel of Y.S.G outside of Tokyo, only those carrying a special passport, with approval from the J.F were allowed to leave and live in another mega-city. Not only that, but every Y.S.G would be required to have a tracer injected into their bodies, either at birth, or for the already existing Y.S.G, a non-optional medical procedure. Of course there are many who hide in the vast mega-cities, however they must keep a low profile or risk the Jaegar (Think Navy SEALs) operatives coming to terminate "Undocumented Shogun". This is a problem that is gaining more and more ground as Y.S.G are forming groups and pushing back against the status quo of the J.F.

I'm interested too, cause I'm a big weeb. I'll see if I can get a CS up sooner or later. Oh right, are guns used in this setting at all? I'm guessing not but I want to make sure.

@Spin The Wheel Oh no they are, its a bit of a complicated form of combat is all, Guns can kill or permanately harm Y.S.G Holders without using Shogun Rounds, which are expsensive but for the sake of the RP, im making avaible because of the Gang Leader's wealth and her connections. The best weapons will be either Energy-Based Weapons, which wont be availible at the start unless you have a good enough explanation, or Y.S.G altered bladed weapons, or a Y.S.G's Soulbinder. There will be alot of Y.S.G holders that could easily best a short-mid range gun fight with just their soul-binders or basical bladed weapons.

If you have any more questions, dont hesitate to join the Discord, theres a channel there with a lot of asked questions from the group already, or you can PM me there or here!
