Before I brainstorm further with you how do I apply to join?

[RyoJinKyu]

Edit test

[RyoJinKyu]

Or we can do whatever idk

Since we made this over a year ago lol

[mollymay5000]

Deciding how to start is the hardest part...

[mollymay5000]

So, I have come up with a basic concept to start off with. Since apparently it is my muse, I will be doing main character design based on the five elements as described in Japanese philosophy. Enjoy the sparse Wikipedia page, that's as far as my research went.

HOWEVER, unlike Story RP, I am not taking control of all of the elements. I haven't quite decided how I am going to set us up so I'd wait on making your own character until I do that, but I will definitely be taking water (not fire?! crazy I know). All five of the elements will also be essential parts of the initial set up of the story line. And I know I said weekend, but my weekend consists of Sunday and Monday so I'll try to find my muse and write up an effective introduction tomorrow so you can get on your own character situation!!

Get pumped :)

[RyoJinKyu]

Still sounds like story rp 2.0 ;) hahahah (I tease)

[mollymay5000]

Finally got to the thing! It's vague as hell but I guess we are being honest in OOC so I can clarify or confirm anything you don't catch from my post XD

Some things, like the outsiders and Kai's death have been left unclear on purpose...partially because I haven't decided yet and partially because most of the villagers don't know - including Maya. Who I plan on introducing in the next post. Names will probably be explained in the next post too but for your general information I'll tell you now.

Maya 舞夜 =night dancer/dancing night (not related to water in this meaning of the name)
Kai　櫂 = oar/paddle (it related to water)

I picked Japanese style names but I picked ones that exist in other languages too to keep the world open since I didn't really do any world building. LOL

[RyoJinKyu]

Okay i agree we should keep it open and vague on culture so we don't have to commit to one

So where to start tho? Time skip clearly lol but like specifically

Also can we do a tiny bit of world building at least to get our minds in the same place ( just little things )
I'm thinking...

Location - Im thinking we don't determine a set real world location at all and just mix the names, races, ... species? Lol, etc together without any specifications

Time era- now correct me if im wrong but it sounds kind of old like pre - middle ages even. And thats cool with me, i am also open to pretty much any time era and i am also opening to sort of mixing them a little

What is the town like? - houses? Size? Reputation? Are there other towns? Are we alone in the world? Or do we even know?

Idk, just some stuff to kind of get an understanding of the surroundings before i toss characters in there.

[mollymay5000]

I'll update this as soon as I have the time to actually write it!!
(RIP me living in the center of virus outbreak)

But short answer, timing is basically that - generic fantasy timeline LOL

Lots of civilization! The village I pictured is moderately isolated and in the mountains with a large river. There are other villages but they aren't really that close and I would say that the general education of people in the area is low because they are so isolated. But not so isolated that there wasn't a violent murder....and a sexual encounter was that consensual or not (haven't decided).

The water child is something that isn't common knowledge outside of that village. If it weren't obvious, there are three others will similar titles but for the other elements. At this point, the lore isn't known to my narrator (who will be Maya for now in the time jump) but there is someone that knows it in more detail - someone that shouldn't (the mom, hint hint). In the village that I started in, they don't know about the others but I am going with those that are connected to fire MIGHT know more - at least someone does. Maybe it is a little less isolated, maybe the information has been lost to the water child'S village population. Idk yet.

I would say the lore of each place that has a person like this though is probably a bit different, though the origin is obviously the same. Like, maybe they aren't "fire child" "wind child", etc. They could be called by something else but I would think they would be cherished in the same impersonal way. It's definitely in the blood of the people in their respective area though.

Excuse my word vomit. Apparently I had more to say than I though LOL

[RyoJinKyu]

I guess i mean moreso time wise. If you were to relate it to the real world what era or eras would it most similar to.

Like how advanced technology is
Do they live in huts, and struggles to survive?
Or do they live in buildings with plumbing?
Do they ride horses? Or Do they drive cars?
Are they medieval like? Do they have electricity? telephones?
B.C? 1300? 1400? 1600? 1800? 1900s?

And i mean it doesnt have to be precise cause we can mix it up a bit. But like i feel we should be thinking similarly on that lol
