The island of Shizuyama has always resisted the yokai.
While the rest of Zipangu placated or even worshipped the monsters, the people of Shizuyama defied them. Our ancestors drove the yokai off the island many ages ago and established a haven for humans to live in, a land to call their own without the presence of a monster looming over them, a home where they could truly be free.
This had been so for Shizuyama since time immemorial, even after The Great Change. Even when alliances shifted and the lands around them remade, the island stood by its traditions. Unwavering and unbreakable.
But now, a fleet of war sails from the horizon. And with them, a challenge that will shake the traditions that Shizuyama holds dear.

Hello again, Roleplayer Guild! I am once again starting a monster girl roleplay set in Kenkou Cross' (in)famous series, Monster Girl Enyclopedia. Specifically, this concerns an anti-monster island in Zipangu (MGE Japan) about to be invaded by its supposed allies.
However, the players are not expected to be locals of Shizuyama. Instead, their characters would be part of a taskforce recruited by a powerful Inari yokai tasked with investigating as to why these anti-monster humans are fighting each other. More details can be found below.
Ruled by Clan Oja, the island of Shizuyama is one of the few islands in Zipangu that wholly rejects yokai. Ever since its founding, Shizuyama boasts of having no yokai step onto its land for thousands of years. Known for specializing in repelling yokai and monsters, Shizuyama upholds these traditions by training its most talented and skilled people into effective anti-monster agents who will then be lent out to any allies that need such services.
After the Great Change, however, these agents' effectiveness had waned considerably. Even so, Shizuyama still has their reputation and no yokai had stepped foot on the island even today.
As an anti-monster faction, Clan Oja and Shizuyama has maintained relations with The Order, a religious organization spanning most of humanity that also rejects monsters, for many generations. But recently, The Order and its members are embroiled in a decade-long war with a breakaway human kingdom known as Ortus and their pure Dwarven allies.
Representatives from Varjo, a dark and wicked kingdom but still a member of The Order, had been making frequent visits to Shizuyama as of late. Lady Kyouko, an Inari yokai who is oddly fixated on Shizuyama after establishing herself on a village, has grown very worried at this prospect and has hastily put together a team to investigate the reasons for these visits.
And time is of the essence, for the Varjan representatives this time had now come with a large fleet armed for war.
1.5) *gasp* Wait, wait, hear me out here! I know the setting is best known for its escapist pornography but this RP will be less about the smex and more about the Varjan invasion of Shizuyama, an anti-monster island in Zipangu. There will also be some changes like the intensity of Demonic Energy and the state of affairs within the Order.
*Let me know if that still isn't allowed, okay?
1.5a) Why did that guy gasp? What's Monster Girl Encyclopedia? It is a setting created by Kenkou Cross where all the generic RPG monsters got turned into humanoid(-ish) females by a set of circumstances detailed below:
In a world created by a god named Chief God, humans and monsters battle each other in an endless war.
The monsters are controlled by a Demon Lord who Chief God controls so he doesn't have to micro everything.
When the humans become too many, Chief God orders Demon Lord to whip monsters into a frenzy against the humans, resulting in the end of human dominance.
Once that is done and the monsters become numerous as a result, Chief God blesses a human into a Hero who slays the Demon Lord. The monsters then battle each other on who gets to be the next Demon Lord, resulting in the end of monster dominance.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
But everything changed when the Succubus faction attacked.
One Succubus decided that the cycle sucks and became a Demon Lord. Though not through strength but through gathering allies who are also tired of the cycle.
The Succubus also gains the support of the Hero sent to stop her. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
With their powers combined, they repel the Chief God who tried to kill them herself.
The Demon Lord turns all monsters into humanoid(-ish) females compatible with human men and general human society. (This is what I refer to as 'The Great Change'.)
The rest is history.
*Note that this isn't everything so you'll have to dig in the above links to know more. You can also just ask me.
2) So what are these changes to the setting you speak of earlier? One, Demon Energy is much weaker here so one must take (or give) a considerable dose of it to have the effect it has in the original setting. However, all monster girls are still universally benevolent and still very sexy. So consider this world MGE-lite.
3) ...So will there be sex? RolePlayerGuild rules says no. Any sexual encounters must be done in the PMs or implied.
4) How many characters can we play? Maximum is two. There will be exceptions to certain players.
5) Can we play as monster girls? Yes. Players are actually encouraged to do so.
5.5) Can we not play as monster girls? Yes. Players can play as human men or women.
6) Can we play as monster girls that doesn't actively look for men? Yes.
7) Can we play as custom monster girls? Yes. But you must provide info about the custom monster girl in your character sheet.
8) Can we play as monster boys? Yes. However, you will be the only monster boys in the entire existence of the RP.
8.5) What about these incubi I have read about? I'm saying you can play as other species of monster boys. With actual monstrous or animal features since incubi in the setting are just powered up human males.
9) Can we play as the invading Varjans? No.
10) Can we play as Shizuyama locals? Preferably not but if you really want, you can PM me your character plans, details and questions.
11) Is this a ripoff of Ghost Of Tsushima? Yes.
If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Oh and characters sheets will be reserved for the OOC.
