[OOC] Guardians of Kado Village (Anime Inspired Fantasy)

[ruronihs]

gonna post as saya and tetsuo in a bit

[Inuyasha]

This is a WIP down below, so take everything with a grain of salt. ALthough, if any big no-nos please point them out and I will edit accordingly.


Dᴇsᴜ Jᴀɴɢᴜʀᴜ

Age: 24

Gender: Male

Race: Werecat/Weretiger

Occupation: Hunts wild game that are found along the forest like wild boars, deer, and oh, the occasional monster. Occasionally teaches classes in sparring in unarmed combat and armed combat.

Skills: Fistfights, sparring, hunting, prowling. Also, Desu being a furry feline tiger has acute and enhanced senses of hearing, eyesight (especially at night), and smell.

Powers: Desu has a variation of Lunar Manipulation and Lunar Empowerment. Desu can "absorb" moonlight. He becomes stronger, faster, more durable, etc. when he comes in contact with moonlight. Also once he's absorbed a good amount of lunar energy, he can release, from his palms, what he calls a "moon blast," a rapid and focused flash of pure, milky white light that can burn or singe flesh if it hits.

Inventory:

2 Glass Capsules of poison, in which he sparingly tips his large daggers in. He harvested the poison himself from poison dart frogs, which are very hard to find, much less hunt, which is way he doesn't use them that often. The poison is so brutal that just a nick would leave a victim in agony.

White medical bandages - either used for better grip on his dual blades, or to cover up a wound.

2 daggers - simple in design, but efficient in killing. The dagger's hilt is plain brown, the razor blades reflective.

History: Long before the fall, Desu's kind were kept in kinds of traveling zoos for the masses. They were laughed at, mistreated, and abused. It was a terrible life, always behind the bars of a cage, and in a way, bars of rage. When the fall came about, his kind was liberated from their traveling prisons, as no one funded traveling freak shows anymore in the end of the world. His ancestors lived in jungles and procreated quickly, turning a race that was dying with a little over 100 of them into five hundred. It was still a dizzyingly small number, but it was enough for them to keep up a steady population in the Natsuki Jungle. They lived well for around 45 years, but after an especially bad attack from the forces of the Gods, his race was nearly extinct, and they were forced to run.

The weretigers split in many directions, most going north in hopes of hiding in the mountains, but Desu's grandfather was running blind. He knew not where he was going, living day by day. He eventually arrived to a young Kado Village, a welcomed sight. After months on the run, Desu's grandfather happily settled into his new home. Thanks to his feline senses of eyesight and hearing he was able to establish himself as an efficient and trustworthy hunter. By hunting at night as well, he was able to get game that other hunters simply couldn't get. He became a respected member of the community, known for his chivalry and his amnesty.

Desu was born later on, and by this time the Janguru family was a well-established and trusted family line in the community. When he was a young boy, about seven, he saw a Guardian apprehend a thief who had attempted to steal a woman's mule. He remembered the swift and calculated motions of the Guardian, dispatching the thief with what was almost grace. He aspired to be one of them; a guardian. His father taught him the ways of the hunt from a young age, and trained him in armed combat, a specialty for the Were-tigers. Once he was around the right age, it wasn't hard to join the forces; his bloodline was well-represented and trusted.

Point of Interest: Jisatsu Bluff - A little ways off, on the edge of the forest lies a steep cliff face which after a 20 meter drop pointed rocks spear through the ground. The bluff has it's name for a reason, - Jisatsu meaning suicide in Japanese - and a dark story lies behind the simplicity of the sheer rock face. When the Kado first began, when darkness was supreme reign, the village was not as happy as it was as it is today. It was thought to be the world's end, and there was no hope left. A man named Yirigami Hitomi rallied a group of he and a good 4 other villagers to commit a suicide pact. Hitomi was a known lunatic, as many years running from the Gods had left him traumatized and crazy. He told his fellow villagers that they should keep their dignity, rather than let the gods claim their souls, they would sign the deed themselves. He and the villagers who thought it best linked arms and ran off the cliff, the person they had linked arms with dragging them off. If the fall didn't kill them, the rocks did. The razored rocks were plunged through their bodies, painting the ground a red, crimson and flowing river. These days, they say if you go to Jisatsu Bluff you get a foreboding feeling, and a severe case of the willies.

@Inuyasha: The one thing you need to fix is the story behind Jiatsu Bluff. The cruel gods have never visited Kado village for reasons that nobody understands, and so it has always been a peaceful haven. It is conceivable that many people would think the end of the world was coming, but this would not be a prevalent view in Kado village.

[Zero Hex]

so hey ruro are your characters not going to ignore mine or should I feel free to make a post where my guy calls that group assholes?

EDIT: Actually, nevermind, the group of old men talking about monsters n shit sounds more interesting

[ruronihs]

Didn't mean to ignore your character Zero. Just took me a while to post. But, hopefully something fun can come out of that little jab Kumazawa took at Tetsuo.

Is it possible that in the early days this view was not prevalent? And what if my Yirigami Hitomi was insane, would that make things more probable?

It would but plausible if Yirigami was a known lunatic and if he and his doomsday cult committed suicide as very small, very eccentric minorities in the village. Kado village was always peaceful, though, so that is the main issue with the history

Edit: Also, that smoke is like WAY in the distance. It was on the edge of the horizon when scouted from roughly twenty feet in the air.

Okay I think I fixed it by making Hitmoi a lunatic... tell me if I should change anything else.

[Gamerdude369]

Hey guys. I'm going to go ahead and withdraw from this one. You all have fun.

[ruronihs]

@Inuyasha: Ok. It looks better. You're accepted.

@gamerdude: I'm sorry to hear that, but thank you for at least telling me.

[deadpixel101]

Actually, same on my end.

I will be leaving as well.

Have fun!

Hope it lasts a while!

[Inuyasha]

and then there were fewer

well i mean i suppose there are more too because you know im here too but then again two people left so like um okay just shut up now Inu

[Inuyasha]

Could someone fill me in about whats been going on in the IC lately (any story arcs, conflicts, anything thats happening), and where I might be able to throw my character in? Thanks, sorry for the double post.

[IncredibleBee]

We literally just started.

[Inuyasha]

Yeah but there's 40 posts... anything that's going on right now where I could put my character in? Any conversations... anything?

[IncredibleBee]

That is literally only two pages. You can read that in like ten minutes.

[Inuyasha]

I don't know if I did something to piss you off, or if we got off on the wrong foot or something, but I just want to know a brief summary of what's been happening so I don't have to read walls of text. No need to be a sarcastic and condescending asshole about it.

[Zero Hex]

It's not walls of texts, it's seriously just two pages. You could've probably caught up on your own by now.

Old guys are talking about a monster in a swamp, there's a guardian meeting tonight, and there's a fire way off on the horizon.
