RP Premise:
Everyone at the Academy is getting ready for summer vacation. People are gearing up to study for their final exams but you and your friends have already done enough studying for one lifetime so over the weekend you all decide to go on a camping trip to try to rest your minds. Everyone is assigned a different thing to bring. Booze? Cigarettes? Food? After all the tasks have been divided, you part ways and agree to meet at Mount Wildwood. There's the shrine but you don't pay it any mind. You know there are caves and a waterfall to explore. Sure, as a kid, you stayed on the designated path but you're older now and bolder too, so you and your college friends are eager to do more than just behave during the trip.
The next morning, you all meet up and go into the wilderness to find a place to make camp. You can't help but feel though, like you're being watched. But by who? No one's really around the area. Soon enough everyone decides upon a place to set up camp for the next few days. Everyone heads to the river and for the rest of the day, everyone's drinking and snacking, forgetting about the tests and jobs they left behind. As everyone packs up to head back to camp, an old wooden box is spotted. Was it there before? Someone bets it's a severed hand but upon expectation, it's a bunch of watches.
Pretty lame.
Someone decides to put one on. After dusting it off, it seems it's more complex than any other watch that you've all seen. With the press of a button, the top lid of the watch springs up and a dim purple glow emits. The wearing holds up the watch to look through the lens and sees something beginning to take shape! It's...it's...it's a white dog looking thing with white swirls and claws. No one else sees it but when they finally put on the watch and activate it, they see it too. What is it? Whatever the watches are for, you decide they could make things pretty interesting.
Someone suggests heading over to Blossom Heights to ask the old guy who owns Timers and More if he knows what the watch's deal is. It's decided then. The trip is cut short as everyone scrambles to pack up and head down the mountain as the sun begins to set. Once it does, there's a distinct chill in the air. Before you make it down to the parking lot, a red eerie mist fills the pathway and you begin to hear loud thumping noises. You all look to see a large demon, nearly four stories tall, bounding for you.
The watches all begin to act crazy. Everyone begins running down the hill at full sprint. Stray items are being left behind in haste as you all climb into your cars and speed off, the large demon still running after you. After crossing the bridge into Blossom Heights, the mist fades and soon the heart rates even out. You all find Timers and More and to your surprise, the man says that the mysterious watches can let the user see demons all around them. He says you can befriend them and use them to fight or to solve life's annoying problems.
Maybe you can find a smart one to ace your finals?

GM Notes:
Hello. This is based off of Yokai Watch however I will be feeding you all core information so that you don't have to know the series (anime/game) and I will also be tweaking certain things to suit a roleplay setting. I know you guys have school or work and I've got my own offline responsibilities as well, that said, I expect us to communicate on a fairly regular/reliable basis.
If you're interested, post here and let me know. I am going to assume when making the OOC though, that no one knows the franchise so I'll try to be as detailed as possible with terminology and stuff. I won't make an OOC unless I get a few hands in the air though. Also, characters will be college age, and I would like an even balance of males and females, with different personalities and assets. Just remember though, your character shouldn't be a jerk or a loner, this is a group of friends who know each other already.
RP Tone:
This is meant to be a fun adventure. At the core, this roleplay is about friendship, family and exploration. This will call for slice of life and I know many people rage against that. Let me just suggest how the RP will look though these all go hand in hand and tend to overlap:
Again, at the end of the day this is about us and our characters having fun. We're not trying to make the most powerful squad of demons. If your character is though, that's fine. But as the group's goal as a whole, there should be fun involved. Think whimsy and charm. That is not to say, nothing bad will happen in this story. Oh no. There is danger, it lurks and it watches you very closely. There also bad demons, meddling ones that can ruin people's lives. It's up to our gang to make sure such negative events, don't happen too often.
