Bump.

The Trick to Magic

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!

Yokai-Watch Inspired RP

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. -
