Interest checkiiing!
Don't turn around to leave if you have no idea what this is yet! It might be interesting! ;3
So the main plot isn't exactly set in stone or anything like that. This RP could go anywhere seeing as it's supposed to be as chaotic as Gintama. ^_^' But here. Below this line is a rough description of what this universe is all about, just in case you don't know what Gintama is. This is going to be quite non-canon...
Setting: Alternate Universe/Non-canon
Time/Location: ^AU^ Edo-period, Japan
Elements: Comedy, Action, Sci-Fi, Anime-styled funs, ...we can totally add more to this if you wish ^_^
This is what's become of the 'Land of the Samurai' these days. Edo-period Japan has become such a different place since the Amanto (Aliens) landed, but not unrecognisable. These are strange creatures - anthro-animals, humanoid variations, or just outright weird looking fellows! The Amanto invasion was generations ago now, and any public outrage at the invaders has died down by now. There are still Jouishishi (Anti-Foreigner) Factions that battle against the Amanto and the corrupt Bakufu (Government) who let them settle in the country. Samurai have since become a second-class due to their fierce and relentless manner of fighting Amanto back during open war - even with their superior technology, Amanto losses were massive. The Amanto wouldn't let it stand, and pressured the Bakufu into submission on the matter of Samurai power. Along with Samurai being casually trodden on, there was a ban on swords - only rebels and military forces carry them in the open now. Life in Edo is all very much the same as it has been in recent times. The Shinsengumi and Joui Factions frequently battle in the Edo streets to decide the fate of the country, Amanto carry out illegal dealings with government protection keeping humans out of their business. Life for humans isn't hell or anything, if anything the commoner's life is much better with all the new space-age technology around! But one thing is for sure: everything is one big puppet show for the very most elite Amanto factions. The 'Tendoshu' are these elite Amanto, and it's no secret that the Bakufu answers to them.
Everything seems pretty peaceful, or just about as peaceful as a country in civil war can get... What nobody in Edo realises yet is that the Kiheitai Joui Faction and the massive force of the Harusame Space Pirates have allied with each other. Nobody who knows can deny it - one of these days, Edo might burn at the hands of Takasugi Shinsuke. It's down to a new batch of Shinsengumi members and the Yorozuya to try and tip the balance of power...
Anyone want to give this a shot?
