@Renny Haha. Happy to help. I love doing nerd math.

Yu Yu Hakusho - The New Agency

And if you have decided, what year? 2018, yeah?

@Altered Tundra

Well, the Yu Yu Hakusho manga began it's serialization in 1990, and it was implied it was "present day" at its time of airing. Technologically, it does represent the 90's as it seems like a modern world, but nobody had cell phones and there wasn't much mention of the internet. So I think it's safe to say that Yu Yu Hakusho began in 1990. I believe the series covers roughly 4 years of time, so it ends in roughly '94. The RP would take place 30 years after that, so we're probably in the near future of 2024.

So, how do we plan on getting everyone roped into the Spirit Detective business? Does Yusuke go knocking on their doors and say, "I'm putting together a little team?" Haha.

@Renny

I've honestly never seen the term Yokai in Yu Yu Hakusho

They actually use the term to refer to all the demons in the Japanese dub. Hiei, Kurama, Rando, Suzaku, and the like are all called Yokai at some point.

Also, glad you like my theme song! Okami is one of my all-time favorite games.

Ayame

I’m only pickin’ on ya cause you’re fun!

Name: Ayame Masahiro
Alias: Aya-Meiwakuna (The latter part meaning “annoying” or “troublesome”)
Title: Trickster Fox
Meaning: Masahiro means “perfection.”

Species: half-demon (kitsune)
Gender: female
Sexuality: Bisexual
Real Age: 16
Age Appearance: 16

History: Ayame was born to a human mother, and never knew her father. Whenever she asked, her mother would just tell her that he was in a faraway place. As she grew older, she assumed that this meant her father was dead, and Miss Masahiro let her believe it. However, the truth is that even her mother doesn’t know what became of that charming fox that won her heart all those years ago.

Ayame was raised as a human and her mother never spoke of her demonic lineage. She had no tail or ears to give away her origin, and it seemed she would be able to live an ordinary human life. However, it didn’t take long for her to start seeing things that nobody else could. Even as a little girl, she’d talk to ghosts or see little imps scurrying by. Her mother was quick to tell her to keep such things to herself, but that was only a temporary solution. Soon, her vulpine nature began to surface. She would prank her fellow students constantly, skip school, and even got away with shoplifting on a couple of occasions. (Her mischievous nature spawns from her demon heritage, so sealing, suppressing, or purifying her demon blood would likely alter her personality, though to her she would probably feel more broken than "cured.")

Everything reached a boiling point one day, though, when she fell in with a bad crowd. While cutting Middle School, she met up with some delinquents from a nearby High School. It started out with typical shenanigans: vandalism, smoking, looking menacing on the street… But then when school let out and they pulled a poor guy into an alley, Ayame was having second thoughts. They tried to rob him, but he didn’t have any money, so they proceeded to beat the living hell out of him. Ayame watched at first, wanting to fit in, but the pit in her stomach just grew deeper and deeper. This wasn’t fun. Her pranks had never really hurt anyone before, and this was too much, so she told them to stop.

That was a mistake, and the delinquents quickly turned their attention to Ayame. They surrounded her before she could run, and she felt their hands crawl along her shoulders, then grip her tightly. She didn’t know what they were planning on doing, but she became overcome with terror. The rest was a blur. She remembered blue flames, and when she came to most of them were running away with a couple on the ground badly burned. Her demonic ancestry was no longer a secret.

Personality |

• Kind
• Outgoing
• Clever
• Mischievous
• Irresponsible
• Nosy
• Inquisitive

Power and Techniques |

• Foxfire – A kind of demonic aura unique to kitsune. This blue flame can be manipulated to produce various effects.
• Purifying Flame – Ayame uses foxfire in its raw form to burn her enemies. However, unlike a normal flame, Ayame can determine who it burns and who it doesn’t, thus it “purifies” what she sees as an enemy. The flames shoot out from her, extending up to 20 feet. They can burn flesh, but won't noticeably damage heavy armor. Naturally hard skin will be burned as well; defending against it requires usage of spirit energy/demon auras rather than natural durability.
• Illusory Flame – Ayame can use her foxfire to create tangible illusions. This allows her to create small objects, or coat herself or another in the flame to create a disguise. The illusions require constant concentration, must be within eyesight of Ayame, and are not particularly durable; biting an illusory coin would surly cause it to disappear into a puff of blue flame. However, the illusions can withstand normal handling, such as pocketing said coin. The flames do not burn, and close inspection from someone with high spirit awareness may reveal subtle blue flickers about the object or disguise.
• Internal Flame – By breathing in her foxfire, Ayame can awaken her kitsune blood. She grows her tail and ears, and a set of claws. Her senses become heightened, she becomes faster and more agile, and she gets a small boost to her strength. She can hear whispers around her and even the heartbeat of her opponent, her vision becomes crisp and clear even in darkness, and she can smell the residue of people much like a fox. Her strength, though boosted, is not quite superhuman. She can kick down doors, lift up to 300 lbs, and can kick down doors or perhaps a small tree. The highlight of this boost is her speed. (Easiest comparison: Hiei's first appearance before transforming). Her heightened senses allow her to process things at this speed. However, as she is only half-demon, the form cannot be maintained indefinitely. Her limit in this form is currently five minutes. Likewise, when she reverts to her human form, she feels all the strain she subjected her body to. Due to the strain of this form, she cannot use any of her other foxfire abilities while transformed.

Rebirth: At World's End

Lance lost count of how many times his head was chopped off. He wasn't sure if he was in heaven or hell, or perhaps some kind of bizarre purgatory, but seeing his life over and over again he began to wish for the silent bliss of oblivion. How many times did he have to watch his wife die? How many times did he have to lose to those corrupt noblemen? All he could do was wonder what it all amounted to. He never saw the peasant revolt. He never saw the sweeping reforms. He never saw his name in history books generations later. All he saw was a jeering crowd, then the sky, and then it started all over again...

Lance gasped and bolted upright, looking around with a bewildered expression. He didn't know this place. He let that sink in for a moment. He didn't know this place. It was over. The eternal life, death, and rebirth was finally over. He felt his neck. No scar. He stood up. Somehow, even that was easier than he remembered. His tired, aching back seemed new and full of life once again. He rolled his shoulders. No sharp pain from that knife he took to the nerve. It seemed that wherever he was, the gods had seen fit to fix of the dings and dents that middle-age had done to his body. He went to reach for a cigarette... perhaps the gods weren't so kind after all.

As Lance got his bearings, he leaned against one of the crumbling buildings, blending in with the shadows by instinct. For a moment, he just listened. Names... places he'd never heard of. How can a place both be one's homeland and the subject of a play? None of this was making sense. Come on, Lance, he thought. You've made sense of crazier shit than this. If a place was ancient history to one person, but the home of another, then that meant they were from different times. He glanced at the potpourri of comrades trying to figure out the same things he was. It would explain why they were such a mismatched bunch. A group of people from a variety of different times and cultures.

Lance emerged from the shadows and approached the group. "What, indeed, are we supposed to do about this mess?" The snow crunched beneath his feet and he shifted uncomfortably. He had seen snow only a couple times in his life. Usually, in Grimwater, it just rained. "That's a big question. One I don't think we should tackle just yet, especially since we don't even know what this mess is." He took out his arcane magnifier and began scanning some of the buildings. "Was this natural? Was it arson? And if so... What in the hell?" In all his years as a detective, Lance had never seen a magic residue like this. How could something burn and freeze? "Well... that's different..."

Aww man. Looks like it's full. If any spots open up please let me know. I'd also be happy playing a "side" character rather than a main spirit detective. Someone not too strong, but there for support.
