The city of Shinkawa is located on the western coast of the main island of Himoto. To the east of Shinkawa lies the Inoue forest, which is home to a variety of flora and fauna. Mount Tomari to the south-east is the tallest mountain in Himoto, making it a popular destination for hikers from across the country. As for the town itself, its architecture is generally fairly modern, aside from a few streets of more traditional buildings around the Shinkawa Shrine, a large Shinto shrine on the northern end.
The town's main attractions include its beautiful beaches, a number of cafés and restaurants, including the Budou café, where the staff's uniforms tend to resemble typical maid or butler outfits and famous Ravissant patisserie, which is known for both the incredible quality of its products and the fact that its owner and head chef was once a powerful monster hunter, Izumi-san's Funland, an amusement park with a variety of rides and the Shinkawa shrine itself.
Though there are options for those seeking adventure. Monster dens, mysterious locations that dot the planet and contain...well, monsters. Their occupants seem to "respawn" when left alone, though neither science nor magic can explain why this happens. The creatures in these dens range from dangerous beasts that must be killed to cute things some people will pay for as pets to delicious ingredients which high-quality restaurants will give top dollar for. It's worth noting however that no matter how long they're left, the monsters rarely, if ever leave their dens and have never attacked a built-up city.
The area around Shinkawa contains several of these dens, with monsters sighted deep within the Inoue forest, in caves on and around Mount Tomari and in the waters around the small island of Akugashima, roughly half a kilometre off the coast.
So, yeah, basically this is going to be a fantasy sandbox RP set in the city of Shinkawa in the Japan-analogue country of Himoto. There's not really going to be much of an overarching plot, although player created plots or events are encouraged. Tone-wise, I'm aiming for something light-hearted for the most part.
Oh, and VitaVitaAR will be helping me out with GMing.
A couple of notes:
- The standard fantasy races are present and player-created races can be submitted. Just don't go too crazy. If your race is basically kryptonians or something similarly godlike, they probably won't get in. Also, I'd prefer if we could avoid having any sapient races that are always evil.
- Mages don't have a monopoly on logic-defying craziness. Ki attacks, destructive shockwaves or beams from swinging a sword and the like are all acceptable.
- Keep the tone in mind. While serious plots are fine with me, I don't want things going too grimdark.

Name: Vampires
Description: Vampires are fearsome creatures of the night that turn those they drink the blood of into their slaves...Except when they don't. The actual traits of a vampire vary greatly from case to case. Some turn others simply by drinking their blood, others need to feed the target some of their own and others still are completely incapable of siring new vampires. Some burst into flames when exposed to sunlight while some just get exhausted or sunburnt quickly. Of all the traits commonly associated with them, the only one that seems to be consistent is a need to drink blood to survive.
