@SlayyyGirl Okay. The innate martial arts will be fine. But, if everybody in the group is both nice and popular, I'm not seeing how you get a mean reputation out of that. It would be understandable if she hung out with a group of snooty, condescending people, but not if everybody in the group is nice.
@Squirrel98 Starting with temperature manipulation is fine. If that's what you're beginning with, you're approved.
@Squirrel98 A couple of things. Explain why her relationship with her parents is so distant. Not even calling them "Mom and Dad" is pretty extreme. Also, her power is a bit much to start out with. A 9-year-old shouldn't be able to interfere with international travel. Maybe pick one aspect of the weather she can manipulate to start with, like conjuring a wind. Don't worry, there will be room to grow.
@SlayyyGirl Your character seems quite a bit overpowered as a starting point. Dodging bullets and kung-fu toddlers is definitely a bit much as a starting point. Keep in mind, you'll have room to grow into your powers as the RP progresses, so bullet-dodging will be a possibility in the future. But, maybe innate martial arts would be a good starting point for you. Also, if she is very nice why is she perceived as mean? Does she hang out with a bad crowd? That part just doesn't make sense to me.
@SilverPawLooks good. You can post him with the approved characters.
@Nerdy ReferenceOkay, a self-made scholar of the supernatural? So, she's using her occult knowledge to basically become a witch -- a human who learns to practice magic. That works. Just mention that in the powers section and you're good to go.
@RaikaSomething like "conjuring flame" would be a basic power. Mind you, at the basic level, you'd only be able to conjure small flames at first, and you'd gradually get better at it. As for the domestic abuse question, as a rule of thumb, if the CPS would get involved, that's too dark.
@Nerdy Reference Looks okay. Just make a note of why she has powers. Is she descended from a spiritualist? Does she have youkai blood? Put that in and she's accepted.
@Rune_Alchemist Approved. You can post her in the characters tab
@Shiyonichi Approved. You can post in the characters tab as well.
Welcome, everyone, to The Hunters Club! In this RP, you will be playing a student who recently discovers their supernatural abilities with the help of the titular club. Whether you are the descendant of divine practitioners, whether you have youkai blood, or whether you just hit the genetic lottery, you have been scouted for your blooming powers. And, you are about to be plunged into a world of hidden battles against the creatures of lore. The club will teach you, help you hone your abilities, and then you will join the fight that so few can take part in. The premise is pretty simple, and more will develop as the RP progresses. Any questions, feel free to ask!
The Rules
1.) Don’t be a dick. Keep the OOC nice and civil. No name-calling. No condescending remarks. No passive-aggressive snark. Just, like, be cool. If somebody does something that annoys you and you really can’t deal with it, PM me and we can all discuss it like civilized folks.
2.) No godmoding, autohitting, powerplaying, yadda yadda. It’s basic RP etiquette. If you don’t know what those things are, ask me. If you aren’t sure if something you want your character to do is allowed, ask me. If you suspect that somebody is breaking this rule, PM me and I’ll look at it.
3.) I want this to be an active RP, so please post at least once a week. Your posts should be at least one meaty paragraph (5 or more sentences), and that’s a minimum. Your posts should be proofread and mostly free of errors. Typos happen, but make it look like you tried. If you’re having writer’s block, ask for suggestions. Wait for at least two other people to post before you post again. Otherwise, make a collab post with the person you’re interacting with. If you don’t think you can do all that, then this may not be the RP for you.
4.)This RP takes place in the real world, so don't go around killing people. If it's a monster NPC, it's A-okay to attempt a kill, but like it says in rule 1, no autohitting. You declare your actions against an NPC, I decide if it works.
5.) Romance is allowed and encouraged, but keep it PG-13. If things are getting steamy, fade to black, take it to PM’s. Also, I will not allow any rape or domestic abuse, explicit or implied. This is supposed to be a fairly light-hearted RP, and those themes are way too dark.
6.) You get one character. Put your CS in the OOC for review. Do NOT put it in the characters tab until it has been accepted. Do not post your CS until you’re ready to have it reviewed. You can pretty up your CS however you like, just make sure you contain all the relevant info. If you need a placeholder to save your work, use the sandbox forum. Once your CS has been accepted, do not alter it without telling me and getting approval first.
7.) I have the final say. If you wanna talk about an issue or suggest something, that’s cool. I like ideas and I like to listen. But, once I make my decision, let it be. Also, I may add more rules if I need to.
Name: (First, Last. Let's Romanize it for simplicity's sake)
Appearance: (Anime pic or description)
Age: (15-17. If you are not a first year student, you will be a transfer student and this will be your first year in the club)
Gender: (M/F)
Hobbies: (What do you like to do for fun? Killing monsters doesn't count, because that's a given)
Pet Peeve: (What can you just not stand? Again, monsters don't count)
Base Power: (You'll start with one basic power that you'll unlock during the first club meeting. As the RP progresses, you can get more powerful and advanced techniques, but for now, keep it simple. Also, explain whether your power derives from spirituality, youkai blood, etc...)
History: (Give a little blurb about what your childhood and Middle School life was like. You don't have to go crazy)
Supernatural History: (Any unexplainable encounters that still give you the chills?)
Notice: I'd like a Co-GM. If anyone is interested, please shoot me a PM and we can talk.
Ever since you were a child, you could see things -- feel things -- that nobody else could. Of course, they were fleeting sensations. A wisp out of the corner of your eye, a brief chill down your spine, a distant voice you couldn't quite make out. Your family and teachers called it an overactive imagination, and you let them believe that you "grew out of it." But, just because you stopped talking about such things, it didn't mean you stopped seeing them. And lately, they've been growing a bit more vivid. But, you have more important things to worry about...
Welcome to Himikai Academy!
It was a pretty typical brochure: a bright and sunny photo of a pristine school entrance with cherry blossoms fluttering in the wind adorning a pamphlet filled with academic achievements, prestigious clubs, and promises of a successful future. You'd already read through dozens of pamphlets like these and tossed them away. You didn't have the grades to get into a school like this, and you weren't going to be scouted for a sports scholarship anytime soon. However, what surprised you was the letter of acceptance that came with it. Somehow, you were accepted into a school that you never even applied to. The letter was short and sweet:
Greetings, [your name]
We at Himikai Academy are happy to announce that you have been granted admittance in our school. We are aware that you did not submit an application to us, however a certain special interest group believes that you are Himikai material. Your acceptance into the school is contingent upon your membership with our Hunters Club. You will be required to regularly attend their meetings and actively participate in the club's activities to maintain your enrollment in our school. However, if you read through our brochure, you will see that this is a great opportunity for you to get a head-start in life! We look forward to seeing you.
Your parents were thrilled. It was a far more prestigious school than any you had applied to. So, the matter was settled. You'd join their little club and get a chance at an excellent education. The brochure didn't say anything about the club, though, so you'd have to figure it out during the first meeting.
Who likes anime-style supernatural battles against all kinds of crazy-powerful creatures with all the shenanigans that comes with school life? I do. That's why I'm making this RP.
So, this RP will be inspired by the likes of Yu-Yu Hakusho, Bleach, Japanese folklore, and just overall anime awesomeness. Here's the deal. You will be a student attending a prestigious school. You aren't sure why you got accepted. Your grades aren't spectacular, you aren't the star player of any sports team, and your artistic creations won't be making it into a museum any time soon. Hell, you don't even remember applying to this school, but never look a gift horse in the mouth, right? Well, there's a catch. There's always a catch. Your acceptance into the school has been endorsed by a school club called, "The Hunter's Club," and your admittance into the school is contingent upon your membership in the club. You couldn't find out much about the club on paper, but they advertise numerous field trips and gratuitous amounts of excitement. TLDR: You accept.
Then, on the first club meeting, you learn the truth. You have been scouted to join a group of youkai hunters. Maybe you're a descendant of spiritual practitioners, maybe you have youkai blood, or maybe you just hit the genetic lottery. Either way, you have power, they're gonna teach you how to use it, and you're gonna use it to kill evil stuff. Oh, and this is totally a secret by the way, so try to keep the collateral damage to a minimum.
I'd like to get 6-8 players so drop your interest below and we can make this anime awesomeness happen. Also, it's always nice to have a Co-GM, so if you're interested shoot me a PM.
