Whispers in the Dark

Overview:

Thousands of souls coexist in a modestly sized town in rural Japan. Four strangers attending the local high school have their own aspirations and dreams. Some wish to leave town upon graduation while others simply want to settle down and start a family, content to continue to live a low-key life. And yet fate has delivered these four strangers, an unexpected opportunity. While these four high schoolers are at school, a fire starts and claims their four lives. Before their families and friends can mourn, these four people find themselves floating above, watching the flames consume the school.

Somehow death was only the beginning...

These four souls have a chance to return to the land of the living. As ghosts they will be put through a trial to test their spiritual awareness and strength. When these four accept their new job as detectives, they are given a new life to lead. Once back in their restored bodies, they are given cases to investigate supernatural occurrences in the area. The four detectives engage in battles against demons and spirits, solving murders, disappearances and other problems that find humans and demons at odds with one another.

Details:

This is a RP based off of Yu Yu Hakusho. Basically our characters die, go through a trial and come back to be detectives of their own town.

The co-GM is SoleAccord.

We need 1-2 more players for this.

This will be a slice of life story with an emphasis on following cases, much like chapters of a story, they will be fairly contained.

The characters should be 17-18 years old.

I am unsure if I want to require anime pictures or real life images. Should you express interest, please let me know which you'd prefer.

A post should come once every 8-10 days and should be about 5 paragraphs.

Hmm, kinda interested, I'm unfamiliar with the source material and slice of life isn't usually my thing, but I do like supernatural RPs and the relatively relaxed posting schedule would suit me.

@Kassarock

The source material isn't too complicated and slice-of-life is going to be temporary if I know Genkai. Stick around, we'll help you through any questions and concerns.

Still accepting, folks!

[Genkai]

@Kassarock Yep, Sole is correct. The 'source material' is more of inspiration than something we'll be referencing to so if you're still on board, we're very welcoming!

We ideally would like a fourth to round things out though I am cool with doubling if necessary...

This seems really interesting - but I'm still pretty new to roleplaying, would that be okay? (it's completely fine with me if you say no btw - I just figured it'd be good to start in a smaller group, I've done some 1x1 before, but not really much group stuff)

[Genkai]

@2plus2isnot5 That's totally fine! Being new to roleplaying is no problem for me, we all have to start somewhere. As long as you can give the five paragraphs and be prompt and communicate and be a super awesome contributor, we'd be welcome to have you.

So I've got some interest here and in the General Interest Check area so I'm gonna try to get the OOC up tonight and let all of you guys start applying.

This looks pretty interesting xD, I'm a big fan of slice-of-life RPs with extraordinary twists as well so color me interested. *Throws in tentative interest* And as for preferences, anime face claims are my jam.

Long time no see, Genkai!

[FiroIV]

Posting here as well cause I've always wanted to try an RP by/with Genkai.

[Genkai]

@Kassarock I tagged you though I don't think you're still interested?

At any rate, hello @FiroIV and @Fox of Spades long time no see to you both. :)

Here is the OOC, I hope you guys can submit something awesome! If the slots happen to fill up, I'd be open to doing a 1x1 perhaps. :)
