[OOC] Fields of Blood ~ Anime Samurai RP

[Kiragan_Natsuki]

Yoshitsune might choose a side later on in the story, and I guess if its ok with you Myst, Ayame could remind him of Kimiko somehow. Not saying it would form into a romance (it might) but it would be interesting nonetheless. ^_^ Again just a thought.

again, just a suggestion, can we limit the amount of people who claim neutrality? There will always be a few but lets not have everyone playing the fence. it ruins the RP if no one is actually involved in the main conflict

Actually, I was going to comment on this. XD

Some characters seem like they'd lean towards one side or the other, those with a more religious tinge likely leaning towards the side without demons, but some seem like they just wouldn't care. Or rather, some, my character included, seem like they'd be leaning towards just keeping the people caught in the crossfire safe more than they'd have a personal stake in who wins the war.

[Myst]

.... oh you did change the name...
*sigh*
*goes to edit... again...*

I asked for Alessia to be neutral because Guójiā De Huǒ is a secluded land in the mountains. And the Elemental Knights are out trying to find where each nation stands in regards to the building tensions between sides. Tis the only reason :)

I think that dynamic is fine. a three sided war/ conflict. so long as there arent too many characters who are just like "im not on any side, not of it concerns me" then we will be good!

[Krayzikk]

Oh, far from none of it concerns him; At least in the case of my character, the war'll likely be a matter of personal ire very quickly. XD

@Myst: On that note, if possible, I'd prefer to have Kichirou classified as neutral. He'll probably take a side fairly quickly, and likely against the demons, but it'll depend on how the game plays out.

[OutlawedPanda]

We should defenitely limit the amount of neutrality amongst everyone because otherwise we'd just have a bunch of characters that really don't have any effect in the war/overall battle. If we're trying to figure out how to play in an equal dynamic, we should probably figure out who is and isn't anti-demon/pro-demon or whatever. And just because a character may be resident in a particular village doesn't mean they stake their claim in that village's allied caused....right? Cause I worked something out with winter to have my character in the neutral place, but she still has an anti-demon view on the war...

....Also I just wanna RP with Winter cause she's my favorite :3

[ReaptheMusic]

Winter? *points to myself* you mean Yuki of the Fuyu [Winter] Clan?

@Myst: Put Yuki down for the brother with the demons, as she comes from a clan that has been gifted by a traditionally malevolent spirit

[Shinra]

GM, you kinda missed my CS. It's way back on page 2. D:

[Innovative Engimas]

To start will be apart of the smaller clan or be the nutjob that claims a darker evil is coming. But he is sutle about it.

So when you asked to be a universal bad guy, you wanted to make a third party villain?

I use my Co-Gm powers to grant your character approval. It'll be posted once the GM gets on.

[Rithas]

By the powers of Gm? Well it's nice that there's a lot of people, As long as it doesn't collapse into a weird messy cluster that no one wants to mess with :D
Two groups could be interesting....but, I don't know

[Myst]

I didn't approve Shinra because he needs to fix his CS. Under the 'class' section he wrote 'beginner'. Really that section is for what you are : samurai, ronin, ninja, monk, villager, soldier, ect. I'm sorry I got caught up with other things and forgot to mention it last night.

[Assallya]

Our lovely GM could divide it into two threads for organizational purposes? One for each Samurai Lord and his followers.

Though, I was originally considering going after the demon and let the Samurai Lords hash it out. *grins* We'll ignore the possibility of simply going to the Shogun for a ruling. While more realistic that would be soooooo.... anticlimactic.

As always though, I'm going to try and determine where my GM wants me to go and support the direction. Messing with your GM, particularly when you have this many players, only hurts everyone.

[Gareth]

I would like to be helping the demon brother side. Like helping the demons take over.

I think I can support this decision with this idea. That my character met someone on that side that convinced him about how powerful the demons really are, and to go against them would be pure folly. Basically its only wise to choose the winning side.

Wondering if this is ok ^ ?

My bad, I just figured that meant beginner samurai, as in novice.

[Kiragan_Natsuki]

So any ETA on the IC? I'm just wondering cause I'm really psyched for this one. ^_^

[Myst]

later tonight. I can't really give an exact time because I don't know when I'll be on and what time zones everyone else is in.

Also guys I have a request for the structure of your posts. I have found it very helpful in my other rp and I think it will be very helpful here.
When posting, at the beginning of your post put in bold the name of the character you are currently playing, where you are specifically and who you are interacting with.

Example:

Ayame - Village / Healer's Hut - Yoshitsune

[RumikoOhara]

LOL, That's what I do in most RP as well
