[OOC] Imaginary District: An Urban Fantasy RP reboot

[easy modo]

Whoa, fuck.

It's here again.

[VitaVitaAR]

@AtomicNut: Okay, one thing I noticed is, um... I didn't realize you were still going with the prototype thing. Especially if he's been around for such little time, it doesn't make much sense.

@Queen Tomato: Okay, have to be honest, this idea doesn't work out much. A walking skeleton would be undead, which requires necromancy and a lot of other more complicated stuff.

Alternatively a possessed skeleton or something like that.

@easy modo: Yeah, decided to try again.

[AtomicNut]

Alright, updated.

[VitaVitaAR]

@AtomicNut: Thinking on it I'd like to know what spiritual wounds actually do in this case.

@VitaVitaAR

They cause damage on the spiritual form and manifestation (which manifests as a cut or a torn), also cause the target to probably bleed mana at a trickle rate.

[VitaVitaAR]

Hmmm.

I'm not sure bleeding mana entirely works with how mana functions in-setting, though the other stuff works well enough.

@VitaVitaAR

Well, life essence or whatever substitute they have.

[VitaVitaAR]

That's also a bit of a weird area because of how the soul works. ^^;

You could say something like they lose stamina through the wound until it's cleansed and healed.

@VitaVitaAR

Somewhat like that.

[VitaVitaAR]

Alright, then, accepted.

@VitaVitaAR

I thought we were allowed to play Youkai, squish? I honestly chose something that was more human-like than most of the other Youkai out there, because you did mention that if we app a Youkai it should be human-like. He isn't an undead or otherwise animated skeleton, he is a supernatural being with the form of a skeleton. It's different.

[VitaVitaAR]

@Queen Tomato: Something that is a skeleton would be a spirit possessing a skeleton or undead.

I'm saying you have to render youkai in a human-like appearance, be it the "actually they look like this!" reasoning or shapeshifting. I don't want someone playing a hooved horned monster covered in eyes or something for this. ^^;

[Queen Tomato]

Thanks for the clarification!

@VitaVitaAR

I mean, most Youkai are spirits. This one just looks like and has the qualities of a skeleton. It's not possessing anything, it has its own form that it interacts with the world using. I'm sorry if this seems confrontational at all, that's not my intent, I just genuinely don't see what's wrong with playing a Youkai Skeleton and I was really excited to be able to play a Youkai...

squish.

[VitaVitaAR]

Youkai(basically any type you could possibly give a human appearance, think Touhou maybe if you're familiar with it?) are totally playable. It's just that with skeletons and stuff the in-setting lore is that it's a formless spirit using that kind of body or an undead of some form. I apologize for not having more information on that yet actually posted.

I'll admit this is a personal thing of not feeling like a skeleton "Race" really fits for the setting. ^^;

@VitaVitaAR

I guess I'm pretty boned then. Sorry, tomato.

Would it be possible to give them a human form, and then make then transform into a skeleton ("true form assumption" or something along those lines)? Also, it's cool to see another Touhou fan on the guild! Tewi best girl.

[VitaVitaAR]

I love Touhou and have a very hard time arranging my favorite characters, eh-heh.

Anyway, um... it really is a matter of... Hmm. The only real "skeleton youkai" that I feel works in the setting is a Gashadokuro, which is... way too big and monstrous for this and is also the physical manifestation of the spirits of people who died from starvation as I recall. ^^;

The closest thing I can think of to this that works with the mechanics of the setting(I'm so sorry I don't have more written out on this matter) would be animating a skeleton using necromancy.

[Queen Tomato]

I guess if it's not possible, I wont be able tomato after all.

@VitaVitaAR

Gutso was actually based off of the Gashadokuro, I'm surprised you knew about that! I took some liberties with the design in order to humanize it, but the basic traits are still there (Largeness, Durability, Concealment). Also, the whole starvation thing was meant to tie into the fact that hes lived on the streets since he was young.

[VitaVitaAR]

@Queen Tomato: Hmmm.

Unfortunately my ideas for Gashadokuro in-setting are more "horrible nightmare" then playable character. ^^;

However, you've been very cooperative and reasonable and I'm very eager to try and help you figure something out, so feel free to ask any questions you like.

And it's a Yuru Yuri avatar! :D

[easy modo]

Yeah, so I figured I might bring back and adjust that Tennin I never got to use way back then. Hm.
