[OOC] Boundary's Edge -- An Urban Fantasy RP

[Cuccoruler]

Ok. I'm a bit confused. He got into the other world? Is it possible for the others go into the other world if they barely know anything about the seal? And since there is that disease wouldn't anyone who entered that world be caught up by the illness?

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

@Cuccoruler: "Got in" as in "the seal is being broken and he was dragged in", more like.

So yes, they can. The seal shouldn't even be common knowledge, if at all.

And that one... Will be explained later.

[GreenGoat]

So for people who are one of the youkai, they should already be there faffing about yeah?

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

@GreenGoat: Actually, they shouldn't be within the 'mirror world', so to speak. Everyone should be originating from this side, so.

[GreenGoat]

Time to get drunk and smash the shrine. Hope Reimu doesn't mind.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

I could tell from the infinite sake gourd.

But, uh... Actually tho let's avoid wanton property damage for the moment? :3c

[Kidd]

@PKMNB0Y Should we open with our character being pulled into "that" world?

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

@Kidd: Yeah, more or less.

[VitaVitaAR]

• Name: Satonaka Kotomi
• Age: 14
• Race: Human
• Appearance: "Oh, um, I was just stretching." Unlike the slightly short Ayumi, she's pretty short.
• Abilities: Kotomi has absolutely no abilities that could be considered out of the ordinary in any respect. She is an absolutely normal girl, who is even considered below average in all physical categories. However, she is very intelligent, and very skilled with technology.
• Equipment: Kotomi is never without her phone, on which she has numerous applications. The latest of this is a fun little game called Yoma Collection. Kotomi's a little sad it's flown under the radar, though she can't find it in the store any longer strangely enough. Still, it's a fun little game about collecting a fighting force of demons and yokai. Little does she know there's quite a bit more to the game then it appears, and in fact its appearance as a game is rather deceptive...
• Personality: Kotomi is a shy, yet very sweet-natured and friendly girl. In spite of her shyness, she is also somewhat energetic, especially around her friends. However, it's undeniable that she's also quite easily flustered and embarrassed, and she's exceptionally easy to tease. Sometimes she attempts to turn this around on others, but just how successful this is varies and usually fails. Kotomi is also very polite to others, always using proper honorifics even with her close friends. When she becomes exceptionally excited, she also becomes rather airheaded and forgets what she's doing in favor of focusing on what made her so excited in the first place. In spite of this, she's very intelligent, simply a little ditzy when very excited. Kotomi is very fond of sweets, such as ice cream, crepes, and different types of cakes. Her fondness of these extends both to taste and to how pretty some cakes can be decorated. The appearance can make her eyes shine just as much as the flavor.
• History: Kotomi was born as a younger sibling, to a fairly average family. Aside from her deep affinity for technology, nothing extraordinary has occurred in her life, at least, not yet. But she recently found a fun little phone game...
• Other: N/A

[Kidd]

Man I wanna make a human character too, but I'm struggling to find the inspiration lol.

[Cuccoruler]

ALL OF THE PUNS! Haha!!!

[blumenk]

Finished my CS, ended up making a Changeling.

Wyatt Bradley

Name: Wyatt Bradley
Age: 23
Race: Changeling
Appearance:

Appearance

Abilities: Being the changeling of a wood fae, his main ability is the creation of thorns and branches from any part of his body. His eyes are adjusted to seeing in the darkest places. He seems to be able to manipulate plants by talking to them, thought he has only used it to make flowers take longer to wither at his job.
Equipment: N/A

Personality: Wyatt tries to not stand out amongst the crowd since he likes doing his own things without being the center of attention. This has caused him to become a very closed person, taking a while to open up to strangers. His time wandering made Wyatt accustomed to being alone, and not relying on anybody for your problems. Even so Wyatt is a caring person in respect to others, he always tries to help people with their own problems as long as they don't relly too much on him or his presence doesn't bring anything useful to solve the problem.

History: Bradley and his family lived in a small cottage on the rural part of northern England. Living near a forest Bradley caught the attention of some wood faeries living in it, who were angry at him, since his cries at night disturbed their sleep. One day enough was enough and the faeries entered the small cottage and grabbed Bradley away, ready to teach him some manners, on his place they left one of their newborn with a spell to disguise his true form. Wyatt and his family would be none the wiser about what really happened eventually moving out of the small cottage to the city, and apart from his strange allergy to iron he was a normal child and would still lead a normal life if the spell didn't began to weaken with time.

Starting with his teeth taking on their natural sharpened shape and ending with his wood horns appearing, it was certainly a surprise for both his parents and him with the latter ones reacting with fear and the former with curiosity of what he was. Since a normal life wasn't an option for him now, he wandered all around europe, with no particular purpose apart from sometimes trying to find other supernatural people like him. After four years of roaming aimlessly Wyatt decided to start anew and decided to travel to the land of the rising sun, which was one of the places he always wanted to visit as a child.

Other: Wyatt can't shapeshift, so he has to cut his horns to not stand out, the horns grow surprisingly fast, making cutting his horns a daily activity .

When the spell hiding his true nature vanishes, his allergy to iron stopped causing rashes, instead it now causes burns on the part of his body that is touching it.

He works as a clerk of a small flower shop in the city center.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

@VitaVitaAR: Accepted. iirc you're introducing her later anyhow, so that's fine by me.

@blumenk: While there's nothing wrong with the character itself, uh... I feel like we'd have too many characters from outside of Japan with the addition of yours. Also a lot of non-humans, but that aside, having nearly half the cast from outside of Japan in an RP in Japan seems... I dunno, strange?

It may seem like flimsy reasoning, but I think that the cast should make sense within context of the setting, and having too many outsiders doesn't make sense in context. Maybe if this was like, America or something, that'd fly, but... Not here. Sorry.

[Cuccoruler]

@kidd

I was hopeing for a cringe or something but that reaction is even better XD

I gotta think of more head puns!

[Kidd]

@Cuccoruler Ahaha, I'm glad xD

[easy modo]

Obligatory foxgirl for every Japanese urban fantasy.

Rumi Amano

exactly 200 years and 14 days
Kitsune: nogitsune

---

Abilities

Shapeshift - Morphs to a humanoid form and back to fox form. Rumi attains her current physical being through this ability, though she can imitate other bodies as well. However, her tails and ears cannot be hidden except in her "original" human body. Since it cannot adequately frame other people yet, and since she does not yet have the nerve for routine malice, Rumi commonly uses this to tease or seduce her victims and break their minds into submission.

Illusion - Rumi Amano's most adept skill is the ability to deceive senses. From here, the kitsune has the ability to conjure false walls and imitation objects as an illusionist would, but perhaps her favorite is fake armies. Rumi can summon her so-called "Imaginary Squad", a platoon of a maximum of ten ninjas, samurai, oni, herselves, or any other dangerous people she can think of that pursue and battle against her targets and even inflict fake wounds, albeit painless. In the end, her victims are actually just fine while fighting against absolutely nothing at all.

It is easy to see through her illusions, if you either have a good sense of smell or a good sense of detection.

Agility - Rumi has quite the speed and dexterity to boot such that a simple dagger can normally suffice in one-on-one combat.

Equipment

Hoshi no tama - Rumi's Hoshi no tama sphere, often pinned to her clothing, holds at least 50% of her power and serves as a weakness of some sorts. It takes a day or two to repair itself, and successfully taking hold of the ball will earn one her gratitude and submission should they choose to return it. If they choose to destroy it rather, they will earn her ire.

Mask - A full-faced mask, almost featureless except for the eye holes and the eerie carved smile. This might serve a purpose in concealing her identity, but she mainly wears it simply because she doesn't like showing her face too often. Dons it almost all the time.

Dagger - A simple instrument of stabbing. Might really be her only way of killing people at the moment. However, she is adept enough at using it adeptly with agility and finesse. Do not underestimate her.

Personality:

Rumi Amano is, what you'd exactly expect from a nogitsune, mischievous. While not (yet) as malicious as her elders, the girl has an occasional interest in messing around with people and pissing them off at random.

When not playing with people, she is otherwise Yuzoraku's resident kooky wise old sage, at least for the most part. Rumi has the intelligence of a polymath and the senility of a hag, but the latter is also a pretense. Though somewhat a playful goof most of the time, Rumi is able to take matters seriously when she deems it concerning enough to her personal matters. She can be very appreciative of actions done for her benefit, and is willing to do whatever it takes to repay her debt. She can also be obliged to provide her own wisdom whenever asked to, unless she sees that person unfit to receive so.

History:

Rumi has always been a loyal native of Yuzoraku since the beginning, where she had first lived as a simple, ordinary roaming fox that had lived a full life being a housepet of various people, including a few youkai. Spending some time in their presence had enabled Rumi to ascend to fox spirithood. From then on, the foxgirl had pretty much wasted her time on various mischievous activities: childish pranks at first, and then eventually spiteful tricks and pretenses, though she is not without a few comrades and acquaintances that recognize her intellect.

Just a little recently, Rumi acquired her third tail. What power would accompany this, she has yet to find out.

Other:

Makes a living off swindling from townsfolk and swiping from homes.

She likes alcohol, but prefers not to drink it in the company of oni out of caution against being pressured into excessive drunkenness.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

@easy modo: Accepted.

Might be a bit weird trying to fit into the chaos atm, though. The option to mess around in the shrine exists if you wanna avoid it, at least?

Edit: Not to say you can't join the problem if you find a way, though.

[easy modo]

Mess with the folks at the real world, eh?

Hm. Let's probably start off with swindling away some... "donations".

EDIT: Is it the back of the shrine the only entrance to the other world?

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

@easy modo: No, but for now let's stick to the shrine for convenience's sake.

[easy modo]

She's going to get in, anyway.

Hm.

Wolves are ancestors of dogs, right?
