Shaman King Roleplay?

[RisingRobin]

So I was just surfing the web and the idea hit me to do a sort of Shaman King style roleplay. The idea I had would be this is set either before or after the events of the manga and would follow a smaller scale gathering of Shamans. A cool idea I had was they are trying to prevent the creation of a 'second' Hao Asakura or maybe there is another Shaman Fight happening. Who knows? I obviously haven't hammered out a ton of details yet, but if people are down to do some kickass fighting with ghosts stories, I think I can whip something up. ;)

May be interested in this depending on where it goes.

Tentatively interested, depending on how this shapes up.

So, I did some thinking and here's the idea I settled on. Because most of the Shaman World knows of Hao Asakura and the crimes he committed, there is obviously a taboo about those vying for power like his. The idea for the rp would be there's another shaman who is amassing power like Hao and a group is created to stop this shaman before he becomes too big of a threat? I think it would be cool if the group featured a shaman from each of the major continents like in the manga. (I.e. an American Shaman/Patch Tribe, Japan, China, African Shaman, etc.) If you guys have some cool ideas for this rp as well, feel free to put them on the forum and let's see if we can get something going!

Sounds good to me, that concept may work better for a small cast versus a whole tournament anyway. I'd suggest setting it between two points of Hao's incarnation so there's little canon-interference.

@Agunimon

I was actually planning on setting it between Patch Hao and the main series Hao.

Since we probably will be chosen to join this group does that mean we'll have Oversouls from the start?

[Genkishi]

I wanted to show interest. I like what's been suggested so far and I've been craving something to wash the taste of Shaman King Flower's demise out of my mouth.

Hmmm... you know what, you've pushed me solidly into the realm of "Interested"!

I've already got an idea for a character! Just let me know when the ooc is up with a CS to fill out

Bouncing in place from excitement after a couple days of thinking through a character concept

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm ready!

@BenG85

Out of curiosity what do you have in mind?

For me, I have some ideas for a Patch tribe member. Or possibly an African or Russian shaman.

I'm thinking Greek, like an Oracle

Hey, guys. Sorry I've been busy the last couple days. Had to get a new job lined up and that takes time lol. Hopefully should have something posted today. For some basic info about the setting, It's currently the 1950s. Goldva has just become chieftain of the Patch Tribe. After the humiliation 400 years ago in which Hao Asakura stole the Spirit of Fire, she wants to rededicate efforts to stopping Shamans like him before they become a threat. As it happens, there is a new Shaman out in the world somewhere who is amassing power in a similar manner to Hao. Deciding the tribe cannot directly intervene, Goldva recruits a team of shamans in the hopes they will be able to confront this character before he/she becomes a threat.

I haven't delved in Shaman King for some time, but I loved the original series. I'm interested in this. Does a Scandinavian character with a Norse God themed spirit sound doable?

[RisingRobin]

@Product there was already a Viking team in the original manga so I don’t see why it’s impossible. (Team Northmen)

@TheNoCoKid

To be fair, one of them was a viking; their leader was Irish and the other was Russian I think.
