This will be an anime-esque roleplay
I will try to keep this short and sweet. This will be a very rough summarization of this idea in my head, as I will only be outlining the basics:
-some cultures believe that butterflies are heavenly messengers or spirit guardians. This serves as the base of my idea. Most people wouldn't stop and take the time acknowledge a butterfly crossing their path and those that do only admire its beauty, but for a moment. This story will be about the few that found something entrancing, and magical, about a certain butterfly. They follow the butterfly, wherever it may lead. Eventually, when you arrive at your destination (usually somewhere secluded. Whether it be the middle of a forest, by a lake, or whatever), the butterfly will transform and reveal your spirit guardian. Nobody can explain the selection process, but there is something special about you and you have just awoken your guardian.
-A spirit guardian can manifest itself in many forms. Whether it be human, animal, a combination of both or something seemingly out of this world. Each guardian is equipped with a set of abilities, but they can only be used through the activation of soul link. Which would merge the spirit of the guardian with that of the user. This not only grants the user access to the guardians abilities, but also (since their spirits are linked and all) transforms them in a way that's influenced by the guardian. The transformation could be as minor as carrying over a few minor traits (such as a change in hair/eye/skin color) or as major as the user almost taking full-form of the guardian. You guys get creative with it.
-There will be 3 "classes" of guardians. This will determine not only how they fight, but where they excell.
-Each guardian will be granted the use of magic, which can be indentified identified by the color of the butterfly.
-Our characters will be of high school age
-This story will take place in modern-day Japan, where our characters will be housed/educated in a secret government-funded facility.
-Students at the facility do not have to come from Japan. Through years of study the "Head Master", we will say, is capable of locating the activation of spirit guardians. Think of something like Professor X using Cerebro to locate/keep track of mutants.
-It should go without saying that for every yin there is a yang... or some mumbojumbo like that. So, if the guardians that at our characters side are "good spirits", there are "evil spirits" out in there that we will have to combat. Though, that's all I'm willing to reveal to you guys for the sake of keeping the element of surprise ^_^. There is much more going on in my head then just that though.
ALRIGHT! Finally it comes to an end. I know I said I'd try to keep it short and sweet, but I think I've done just the opposite. I hope this helps you guys understand the gist of things. If not, please feel free to ask questions and I will be happy to provide the best answer I can!
