No problem. ^_^

I'm the GM for this RP, so naturally I'm here to answer any questions about the setting as well.

Name: Jeffrey Fajardo

Age: 21

Appearance: 6 feet and 5 inches tall

Personality:


Abilities: Jeffrey has an affinity with Force, which means that he is talented with “destruction”, “buffing”, and “teleportation” type spells. However, he does not know much outside of standard reinforcement of physical body strength and the simple force blast, as only recently did he discover his powers for himself.

Weapons/Equipment: His deck of cards that he constantly carries around. He casts his spells by throwing a card with its “flat side” facing towards him, held afloat by a bit of Force, writing the magic symbol, mumbling the spell name, and “punching” the card so that a magical blast comes out. As for bodily reinforcements, his card must be slapped onto the part of the body he wants to strengthen; otherwise, he still must write the symbol and say the words to make the spell have any decent effect on it.

Name: Yukimura Chikane

Age: 512, looks 20-something.

Appearance: Both are the same person!

Personality: Cocky and fight-prone, with the backup that there are few fights that she'll lose in any meaningful and permanent way. She approaches all challenges with the same "I'll just have to try again harder" mentality upon failure, even if this won't result in any improvement. Chikane is far too stubborn for her own good.

Abilities: For one, Chikane is quite definitely a vampire, with all the attendant strengths and weaknesses that this entails. Her age also gives her a good deal of practical experience when it comes to the art of fighting, which makes up for still knowing basically nothing about 'proper' martial arts. About a hundred years ago, she started learning western magic during Japan's rapid industrialisation.
With her affinity as the alarmingly straightforward 'power', almost all of her spell knowledge is focused around the simple goal of making her already superhuman abilities more superhuman, regardless of risk or time taken. This makes her something of a one trick pony; her response to being unable to overcome an obstacle is simply to make herself stronger, faster, or both, and try again. If that fails... well, she's got one goal in mind.
The vampire has, at least, taken the chance to learn appearance-altering spells, though not to any major extent. When you're an unageing, undying bloodsucker, changing the length of your hair or the colour of your eyes via magic is a somewhat useful talent. The more potent, and far harder to learn, spell was one to reshape body fat.

Weapons/Equipment: Chikane owns a motorbike--and an alarmingly powerful one, at that. This spares her two things: having to share a car with Toshiko, and allowing her to go fast.

Brief Backstory: Hundreds of years ago, Chikane was nothing special--before an older vampire, in a fit of pique, turned her and looked after her for a few weeks before leaving her to her fate. Survival got easier with time, and even easier once she could start getting proper jobs. When Toshiko first started hiring, Chikane was the first to sign up--not because she had any detective skills, but because it offered a chance to track down the bastard that turned her in the first place.

Plus it gave her an opportunity to move in, since she'd been lacking in a proper home for some time due to ID issues.

@Maki Casanova: Okay, this doesn't usually bother me but I'm going to bring it up now: When an RP takes place in a certain country specifically, it should probably have a majority of characters from that country. Especially when you don't really have an explanation for his completely non-Japanese name there. ^^;

Also, gambling is... kiiind of really illegal in Japan and needs some major loopholes to get around it. I would think anywhere doing it would not be advertising itself too widely.

Also, why did he start saying the spell? ... Also spells are something in some language at the very least. Japanese spells will be in Japanese, English spells in English... though sometimes they get translated so people can speak them even if they can't speak the original language well.

Also, how did he join the Detective Agency? You don't really mention it. ^^;

@Raineh Daze: Accepted.

Name: Iwajima Jun

Age: nine years old.

Appearance: [] definitely the appearance of a reliable supernatural detective!

Personality: Jun can at times be incredibly focused, serious, and mature, which is only natural for someone who has worked hard enough to nearly master certain areas of Onmyoudo at such a young age. On the other hand the fact remains that he's still a child despite his high level of skill and his tendency towards hyperactivity is made worse by an overactive imagination fed by a combination of living in a magical world and ready access to media.

Abilities: Possess a high degree of skill with Onmyoudo, his affinity being the number 9. This allows him to use a variety of spells and techniques with his ofuda so long as they ultimately have something to do with the number nine either conceptually or concretely. He also has a surprising amount of martial arts expertise for someone his age, due to being raised to fight yokai.

Weapons/Equipment: Has his trusty detective's trenchcoat, though the only thing unique about it is that its pockets have ofuda on them that allow them nine times as much storage space. mainly used for carrying ofuda.

Brief Backstory:
Jun was a son of a powerful family of onmyouji who primarily made their living combating rogue yokai and other supernatural creatures. Toshiko knew his family from the time when she was in training and owed them a few favours for reasons she'd rather not mention. Because of his family's work, Jun was strictly trained in onmyoudo and related lore before he even started primary school, even to the extent of being given the Gazu Hyakki Yagyo in place of ordinary picture books. However his entire family died under mysterious circumstances. Under previous instructions his father had given him just in case anything ever happened that left him on his own, Jun sought out the Fu Sonzai no Gensō Detective Agency and has been living and occasionally working there part-time ever since, hoping to become a real detective some day and solve his family's case.

Oh, I was planning to incorporate him joining into the agency in my first post! Did you still want me to simply say how he joined in the back story?

Well fuck, I didn't know that particular part about gambling. I'll change his job to something more legal.

And I'll provide a reason for him saying the spell, but do I really have to say every single thing about his story? The phrase IS in an actual language, btw.

Hmm. I'm not sure how well that it will work into the first post given what I have planned unless you're going to do it as him reflecting on it. ^^;

I'm sure there's a possible replacement.

No, but I do want to have a reason for characters who are not native to the country being there at least.

I'm sorry for the mistake there. I just couldn't find the words when I looked them up.

I try to make sure that real languages are used for spells and stuff but it's not always easy to check. ^^;
