First off, this is not related to the video game "Okami" or the manga "Okami-san".
The rules are:
1. You can curse if you want to. Just keep it to a medium amount.
2. No Godmodding or Powermodding. But that's kinda obvious.
3. Romance and relationships are allowed- just keep it a PG-PG13 rating.
Second of all, welcome! This is the gateway to the realm of Darminia! In this realm, many of the beings roaming this world are animals. Cannot be mythological animals. I'm sorry.
They also have control over the seven elements: fire (can make explosions, imbue certain parts of the body- fangs, claws, ect.- with flame, make barriers, ect.), water (can make clones, freeze opposition, make barriers, shards, pillars, ect. out of nearby water), wind (can create hurricane-like winds, air bullets, imbue a slight period of flight, make barriers, ect.), earth (can make barriers, pillars, shards, ect. out of nearby earth), grass (control over plant life such as trees, roots, thorns, vines, ect. to make barriers or act as an extension of the user), light (blinding effects, refract nearby light of any kind to make objects), and darkness (includes shadows, barriers, cloning, and lightning).
The above in parenthesis are examples of the Hissatsus you can choose from. You can make your own, just be sure to make something that has some relation to one of the seven elements. If you want a power that someone already has, re-decide your Hissatsu and make a new one- unless the person who coined it allows you to use it. Sorry.
~Same thing goes for your special/finishing attack(s)- you get up to two, but be sure to include your Hissatsu in some way, shape, or form.~
Here's a character sheet (below it is a sample character):

(Hissatsus drain the user of the ability to fight! If Isamu kept using his Hissatsu without caution, he could faint- or worse! Same goes for all of you RPers!)
