When FS edits their CS and posts it, we should be good to go. I'm still working on my sheets myself but I'd like to get things rolling by Sunday at the latest. Since I have family coming in tonight, it'll be tough to know when I'll have a few hours to myself but if FS gets their done tomorrow afternoon I might be able to get the intro up then but it's tough to say.
Looks good to me, you're free to post it in the CS tab!
Premise:

Set in the fictional Springdale, our heroes are college students who have just graduated college. They have known each other since Pre-School and have stuck together through thick and thin. But with their schooling over now comes the question of whether or not some will move away or will stay and continue to live in the city they know and love. Right after the graduation ceremony, the group of friends decide to go up to the local wilderness and camp for a few days. There's beer, wine, probably even some pot. Needless to say everyone is having a blast now that they can truly begin to be independent and have jobs of their own.

On the second night of camping near the river, they stumble across a small box of watches behind a waterfall. The group each put on a watch and before they can think much of the treasure found, they begin to feel the ground beneath them rumble and shake. The sky overhead turns a dreary grey as a large red demon appears. Springdale has been known to honor its lore and spiritual history, and yet these folks have never seen demons or spirits that they've read about in school. And this particular demon stands at over 50 feet and does not look like he's in the mood to have friendly conversation.

The group runs back down the mountain as fast as they can, narrowing escaping the demon's destruction. They decide to investigate the watch's origin, beliving the demon and the watch might be connected. Upon going to Timer and More, a local shop, they are told that spirits are indeed real and can be seen using the nifty watches they had uncovered. This begins the group's summer adventure as they go around taking up part-time jobs for both people of Springdale but also the demons who inhabit its alleyways and haunts.

Inspiration and direction:

This is based heavily on Yokai Watch (the game, though the anime does follow it closely enough). That said I will be providing you guys with maps and such so don't feel like you need to have played the game (or seen the show) to get involved with this RP. I did have this posted in Advanced a year or two back but I feel like my intended audience might be found here because it's fairly light-hearted and fun.

I am seeking only a small group of people for this, so ideally I'd like 3 other players to join me so we'd have an even amount of boys to girls, but so we're not getting hung up on waiting for loads of people to post and have to catch up. I am not looking for posts to come daily, I'd much rather this be slow paced due to it being a slice-of-life based RP. There will be fighting involved but it won't be frequent and will rely on the yokai (aka demons) we meet and befriend. Generally though, this RP is very much open (or considered sandbox-y) since our characters will decide where to go and what to do so I'd like writers who can take the lead and play characters who seek adventure.

In terms of ages, I'm thinking we'll be playing 22-23 year olds and we will be sticking to anime pictures for appearances (as opposed to celebrities or descriptions). In terms of post size I am looking for something between casual and advanced if possible, so around 4-5 paragraphs, I've seen some great casual posts these days so I'm hopeful we can have some fun with this while progressing the plot and further developing the relationships between our characters. If you're interested or have further questions, just ask me. For the most part, I'm able to get the OOC up when I feel I get at least 3-4 interested folks, but be aware there will still be 3 spots open so space is limited to those who get a CS approved in the OOC first.
@FernStone Alrighty, thanks.

@Silverink Kay, let me know when you're done.

I'm also debating whether or not I want to add another female to the mix and give her rock...or perhaps make her The Visionary. I may do that...still unsure yet.
Here's to hoping this reboot works out~
If you didn't post in the Interest Check, that's fine. I will be going by a first come, first serve (as opposed to holding spots) basis due to limited spots so if you've got an idea, go for it.
Appearance:


upload gifs online

Personality:

- Considerate - Flexible - Open-minded - Indecisive -

Name:

- Natazume -

Age:

- 26 -

Origin:

- Natazume grew up on a small island called Shimmer Shores. She and her family ran a small fish market and soon began to export their catch to other communities. She has a younger brother named Kliver but unlike her, he doesn't have an interest in magic. Her family used to fish the old fashioned way with spears and fishing rods but when she began to dabble in water based magic, their family business took off. Kliver was vocal about his dislike of magic and how it tainted the art of fishing and being at one with nature. Their difference eventually became so heated that she left home to help others with her magic, as she no longer felt welcomed at home. -

Life:

- After leaving home at the age of 16, Natazume roams the world in her small fishing raft she made herself out of wood, iron, leather rope and a large light blue sail to match the color of the sky. A typical day for the woman consists of docking at whatever shore she is closest to and fishing for the locals. She sells what she catches and uses that money to pay for additional food. Normally her diet is based on vegetation and fish but sometimes she will splurge on bread. In the afternoon Natazume will sail onward and find shade under the large willow trees that crop out of the clear blue ocean. By dusk she had tied her raft to a willow tree and has settled in for a night under the stars. Since she finds comfort in being on the ocean, she seldom ventures onto land. Sometimes she'll follow a river inland but it's not often she does. -

Talents:

- Swimming -

- Fishing -

- Singing -

- Tying knots -


Flaws:

- Afraid of heights -

- Terrible liar -


Combat:

- Natazume has great skill in controlling water. On both of her pinky fingers is a small seafoam ring. These water filled runes allow her to control water and bend it to her will. She has been training on her own since she was ten years old though without a proper teacher and only a few books she could scrounge together, her skills are less about fighting and more about containing things. Though her magic she is able to summon orbs of water either in the air or underwater. These spheres can contain fish and other lightweight objects. She is also able to use her runes to banish water and create an orb of air for her to temporarily breathe under water. It is something she cannot frequently conjure though. Natazume is unable to turn water into ice though she is able to create small balls of water to use as medium range projectiles. Overall though, she is a lover more than she is a fighter. -
Looks good to me, @Panic Go ahead and post 'er to the CS tab! (don't forget to edit the element in)

General premise:

- The world, like so many others in the universe, has gone through times of war and peace. Currently a comforting blanket of peace protects the world from its past conflicts and petty differences. The world is made up several kingdoms and yet at the moment, there is very little to complain about, very little to fight about. Magic flows freely through the world and most anyone with the time and effort, is able to wield it through various means such as runes, spells or potions/tonics. In the world there are many talents ranging from cooking to painting, to even juggling or knife throwing. Many myths depict a goddess named Aquis created the world that everyone calls home. It is a world where water covers 75% of the sapphire and emerald sphere. Most folks make money via fishing, sailing or diving. There are many islands, both big and small around the world where people make pleasant lives for themselves.

- As the sun rises on another blissful day, six white sleek egg-shaped pods descend downwards. At first glance they would appear to be randomly scattered throughout the world and yet the ones who dispatched them, have a method to their madness. These pods have intentionally crossed paths with people who have strong mortals, a good heart and mind. When they approach the pod's door slides open to reveal textures and lights never seen before. The seat is made of alien fabric, soft to the touch but once one runs a finger along it, it becomes somewhat rough like fish scales. The pods whisk away six strangers and send them into a stasis or forced sleep. When the half-dozen awaken, fifteen years have passed and their world appears to have been destroyed. Questions arise as to where they are and why they were taken...or saved.

- Why is their home gone and how did it happen? Where will they go now? The ship they are now on calls for a small crew to take the bridge and continue traveling deeper into space. The six individuals must band together to uncover the many secrets surrounding their new lives. Despite being in a new environment, it seems magic still works and it also seems other forms of magic are being uncovered. The group must find a new home, find new allies and evade any threats that they come across.

About the Ship:

The ship is very sleek and agile. It is called The Flock. In large main area are different labs for experiments and data collection. There are also six large private quarters for the six occupants of The Flock. There is a bridge, bar, high tech gym, kitchen, holodeck, digital library/records room, fabricated tropical pool, and other nifty features. Along the spine of The Flock, is where the six have been in stasis. The end of the tail itself is solid, meant to act like a sword slicing through enemy ships.

There will be a Captain, Pilot, Tactician, and a Medic. If we only get two players, the Tactician and Captain will likely become one role. A Captain is the leader who delegates, a Pilot is in charge of flying the ship and navigation, a Tactician is someone who gathers data for research but who also deals with combat strategics, and a Medic handles the crew's well-being. These are basic outlines of duties but keep in mind your character needs to be able to fit one or two of these duties as they will pick their role in the IC. Maybe their first choice gets taken? Just be mindful when making your character.

Character creation:

- We will be playing fantasy tropes/stereotypes but at the same time the character shouldn't be a parody or mockery. The character has to be seriously crafted and handled. While this is meant to be a bit silly and whimsical in terms of tone, the character should have dreams and desires, should be well-rounded.

- Because fantasy and science fiction are coming into play, a character needs to be made to translate into a science fiction role. For example, a cleric who heals would be expected to take the role of medical officer/doctor. The loyal hero or wise mage would be expected to take the role of a first officer to work alongside the captain and offer advice. Someone quick their their reflexes would perhaps be suited to pilot the ship's controls. Think about both genres and how what talents would blend well together.

- Please give your character substance, characters fall on hard times but they also don't need to be haunted by bad luck forever. If your character has lost a love one, ask yourself if it's really necessary. Most of the time I find it isn't, and tends to never be mentioned by a character or consumes their entire mind and prevents them from being useful. If your character has a combat skill, truthfully gauge their talent on how much they have practiced, give them weaknesses and strengths. This isn't a combat heavy story but being prepared won't hurt.

- Interact with characters, let flirtation happen, let disagreements happen. These are strangers in a very stressful situation, characters will bond with some but have a tougher time with others. That said, the group still must function as a unit and for any unruly loner types who cause trouble, well I'm sure jettisoning a pod into space would be an easy solution to problematic characters.

- Other species/races like elves etc, may be allowed, just run it by me first and have a picture ready for me to look at since I'm sure if I Googled an elf, it would yield different results. Just make sure we're on the same page before you get ahead of yourself. I don't want many different races because this story isn't about that but about something bigger and I don't want a character to be defined by their appearance or whatever reactions it causes.


Character Sheet:

- Below is the coded CS, it's meant to be fairly quick and a bit silly, as I know it gets boring filling out the same CS over and over again. Please copy and paste this and post it in the OOC tab. When you have finished your sheet, tell me and I'll give you the green light to transfer it to the CS tab. I think appearances are important, hence the formatting, our IC will also have some formatting codes when it comes to skipping ahead and such. Since I have time on my hands, I have started to dust off my Photoshop program and will be making graphics for this RP. Do try to find high quality pictures for your character. I have my own CS finished in the CS tab, take a gander at what the end product should look like. Happy creating!

Closing remarks:

- The way I tend to run group RPs is by rounds. A round begins with a post made by myself once I have posted, anyone can post whenever they want but they can only post once. This does make things a bit slow but I'd rather not people get left behind. Once everyone has posted within a timely manner, I'll post again and a new round begins.

- If you have any questions, ask em here. I wanted to keep things fairly basic so we could get things rolling sooner, rather than later. our size is going to remain small with 3-4 of us included in this, I won't make exceptions to expand the size, sorry.

- Once we get into space, I will be editing this with information on the ship and nearby planets we can decide to check out.

- Lastly, this RP is about having fun. The OOC should be just as fun. I expect people to communicate and plot together. Considering the openness of this story, I expect input from fellow players. I don't GM with an iron fist unless posts are slow to come. Let's have fun and create something cool together.
