Raging Fenrir

Dawne | A Japanese School Life RP

Oh, cool. Count me in on this one. I'll probably make a new character, though.

The Hunters Club

Ayame Masahiro and Saito Ryuuji

At first there was an awkward silence as Ayame looked around the empty room. For a moment, she had a sinking feeling that no one else would show up. It would just be her and an upper classman in a school she was completely unfamiliar with. She fidgeted nervously as the club president hid his face behind a newspaper, but then, to her relief, the door opened once more. It was an unkempt looking boy with white hair. He seemed odd, but friendly, which was good enough for Ayame. Hopefully he didn't want to sit in dead silence like the other boy. She gave a timid smile and waved as Saito checked the roster.

"Yup, Kaito. Have a seat. Glad you could see the sign. I don't want anyone to waste time looking for the place. I'll explain everything once everybody else is here." With that, he went back to reading his paper, giving the others the same curt greeting as they arrived one by one.

Ayame felt more at ease as the others arrived. A cheerful girl who also seemed to like the sign, and then another who came with an offering of brownies. "Hi, Suzue. I'm Ayame," She said as she picked up a brownie and took a bite. Immediately, her mood did a 180. Home-made brownies were just what she needed to turn her day around. "You made these yourself? They're so delicious! Thank you so much for sharing." She wasn't sure why, but the crowd that was gathering here didn't seem put off by her at all. It was like they were blind to whatever odd sensation everyone else saw in her. Either that, or they were used to it... She didn't even care what the club activities were be. If it gave her a chance to make friends, she was in. With each new member, she introduced herself even more cheerfully, starting to feel like her old self again.

Then she nearly jumped out of her seat when the door flew open with enough force to rattle the room. The boy apologized for using "too much strength" and introduced himself politely enough, but he had the look of someone who had seen his fair share of trouble. Everything about him screamed delinquent. But, Ayame forced herself to smile back and return the greeting. She knew what it was liked to be judged, and she was not about to become a hypocrite.

Saito, however, had no problem judging this boy. "Yeah, it'd be super-cool if you didn't break anything. I fought tooth and nail to get us a nice room, so let's not be a bull in a china shop, okay?" Saito was completely undaunted by Akira's show of strength or menacing grin. He'd seen toothy maws a thousand times worse than anything this kid could produce as he was now. He remembered reading about Akira's violent history and wondered if he'd need to discipline this one. But, for now, he decided not to scare off the other new members with a more overt show of aggression.

Once everyone was seated, chatting, and gorging themselves on brownies, Saito checked his watch and cleared his throat. "Alright everyone, settle down. It's time to begin the first meeting of the Hunters Club." He got up and stood in front of the desk, getting a good look at everyone. God, they looked so meek and carefree. Part of him wondered if this was a mistake, but he quickly pushed aside those doubts. They still had time to learn and grow. That's what this club was for. There would be time to panic later if things didn't go well.

"Alright, where to start..." He paced back and forth a couple of times, thinking of how to address the club. He must have written out a dozen drafts of the speech he wanted to give, but now, standing in front of a group of people all staring at him, looking for answers. All those carefully crafted words just seemed to slip away. Whatever, he'd just have to go for it. "I'm Saito Ryuuji, and the reason you've all been chosen for this club is because you're all like me. You've all seen things, heard things, and felt things that everybody else around you seemed to ignore. Stuff you've been told is just your imagination, or a trick of the light, or some other bullshit excuse. Well, everyone in this room knows that those things are real, and I'm gonna help you make sense out of it. Sound good?"

Saito paused and looked around, gauging everyone's reaction. Hopefully there wouldn't be any freakouts before he showed them the scary stuff. "Most of that stuff is harmless. Aimless spirits passing through. Kappas that wandered a little to far down stream. Or a ghost that too scared or confused to pass on. We bump shoulders, and both continue on our way. However, there's also stuff out there that's not so harmless. I'm sure you've heard stories of..." He paused. Remember, you're trying not to scare them. "...Well, one term people like to use is 'Spirited Away.' When that stuff shows itself, we hunt.

"Now, before you guys panic, there's a reason you have been picked for this. We're a rare breed, one in a million. Everyone in this room is equipped with abilities beyond that of a normal human. Some of you have already scratched the surface..." He glanced at Akira. "And some of you will need that power coaxed out of you. Don't worry, I'm gonna help you learn to discover and control your abilities. When I'm done with you, you'll all be certified badasses, ready to take on any nasty stuff that's creeping around in the dark. I'll make sure you're all prepared." He just hoped they'd have enough time.

"I'm not gonna lie. At times things might be scary or painful... definitely a bit dangerous. If you ever want out, believe me, I get it. You'll be allowed to leave at any time. You can go back to whatever life you had before and you'll never hear from this club again. But the truth is, you're the only kids in Japan whose powers have surfaced and are ready to be trained. If you leave, there will be no replacements. We've got more seats than candidates, so I hope you'll all try to stick this out with me. One thing this club will give you, though, that you won't get anywhere else is true camaraderie. Nobody in this room thinks you're crazy. You don't have to keep the things you see a secret. And, we're probably all a little freaked out by it."

Saito took a breath and leaned back on the desk. "Alright, I know that was a bit of a bombshell so take a sec to take it all in. Chat with each other, bombard me with questions, whatever you gotta do. We're gonna take this nice and slow." But not too slow. They, unfortunately, didn't have that luxury.

The Hunters Club

Just a heads up. I'll be getting my post up tonight.

The Hunters Club

Good openers so far. Let's give @King Cosmos and @SlayyyGirl one more day to post the intro, then I'm going to post with Saito again. If you two can't post in time, don't worry. You can just be late arrivals.

The Hunters Club

@Zardoric Looks good to me. Accepted.

Also, the first post is up. Everyone is free to post their intros. You should make your way to the club room and take your seat by the end of your post.

The Hunters Club

Saito Ryuuji

Saito sat in the teacher's desk at the head of the Hunters Club room, flipping through a newspaper. "Another one went missing..." he muttered, reading over another missing person report that was destined to become a cold case. He just hoped he'd be able to get the prospects in shape in time for the coming storm. But, he wouldn't scare them with that just yet. "Let's see, looks like we've got quite a hodge-podge," he said to himself as he looked over the roster of new students that were supposed to show up today. He took every measure in his power to make sure they wouldn't have an excuse to skip. There was a message at the end of classes over the loudspeaker directing all the members to report to the club room, and he put a big, vibrant sign on the door. There was no way anyone could miss it.

Knock, knock, knock. "Hey, is this that weird Hunter club thing?"

Saito put the paper away and called back, "Yup. Come on in." In stepped a scrawny-looking boy with glasses and an oversized bookbag. "Alright, so you must be..." Saito scanned his roster, but didn't see the boy's face.

"Yuichi Sakagami. Treasure hunting extraordinaire!" The boy beamed, but Saito gave him a blank expression.

"Mmm, sorry. We're not that kind of hunters. Also, membership is exclusive. We've already scouted everyone who's club material. I'm sure you'll find another club that suits you better." The boy gave a dejected expression, but Saito didn't have time to console every confused student that couldn't begin to fathom what they were stumbling into. The boy was about to object, but Saito's utter disinterest seemed to be enough to stifle his arguments. So, with a sigh, the boy left.

Ayame Masahiro

Many people would find a new school with new people exciting. It was a chance to get a fresh start, to put your best foot forward, and let people see the new and improved you. At least, that's what Ayame's parents kept telling her. But, her parents didn't have a creepy... something... hovering around them, making even the simplest conversations awkward and nerve-wracking. She tried making friends today, she really did. But, when she approached one of her classmates at lunch to introduce herself, she ended up startling the girl and getting a bunch of weird looks. So, eating quietly by herself it was. The rest of the day went by in a slog, and she just wanted to hurry home and water her flowers, but the loudspeaker reminded her that there was something else she had to do first.

She found the room with little difficulty and saw a boy huffing and grumbling as left the room. "Well, that's welcoming..." Ayame muttered as she slowly stepped into the room. There were no decorations, no other students, no welcome signs. Just an older boy sitting at a desk reading a newspaper. "Umm, hello? I was told I should come here. This is the Hunters Club right?"

Saito looked at the girl, checked his roster, and then gave her a big smile. "Ah, Ayame. Glad you could make it. Take a seat. Once all the others are here, I'll explain everything. Just try to relax. Things will make a lot more sense to you after the meeting."

Ayame took her seat and smiled a little. The boy at the desk seemed a little weird, but a little weird was probably the only place she'd be able to fit in. Maybe today wouldn't be such a bad day after all.

The Hunters Club

A Crack of Lightening!

Name: Saito Ryuuji

Age: 17

Gender: M

Hobbies: hiking, cycling, beating high scores at the arcade.

Pet Peeve: lazy people, late people, messy people.

Base Power: Countless generations ago, the Ryuuji family was favored by the lightening dragon Raigeki. They were endowed with power in exchanged for defending his territory from unsavory humans and youkai alike. The dragon has since gone dormant, but his power has not. Ryuuji's body is supercharged with lightening, and he has mastered various techniques that can deliver electric shocks to his enemies.

History: The Ryuuji family has always lived in two worlds; in ancient times their family was full of priests, priestesses, and warriors that defended folks from unseen predators. Today, Saito's grandfather, Iwao, holds an unofficial position in the Japanese government that deals with supernatural threats and appeasing the spirits. Saito was educated at home about the spirit world alongside his normal education. He was appointed the president of the Hunters Club as a means of preparing for certain events...

Supernatural History: Saito has seen so many supernatural things that nothing seems to phase him anymore. However, during one routine hunt, Saito came upon his target only to find another youkai drenched in its blood. Saito's blood ran cold, and for the first time in his life, he felt like prey. However, the youkai just smiled, patted Saito on the back, and went on his way. Saito has trained his abilities diligently since that day, but he still feels a cold sweat come over his body whenever he remembers that event.

The Power Within

Name: Ayame Masahiro

Age: 15

Gender: F

Hobbies: flowers, gardening, playing games

Pet Peeve: Loud noises, bullies, spicy food

Base Power: When Ayame was in elementary school, she found a wounded fox in a park one day. Before she could call anyone to help it, the fox let out its last breath. However, as she looked at the fox, she got a strange sensation, and thought she saw some crimson markings on it. At that moment, the fox transferred its spirit into Ayame and lived on inside her. Its power has barely begun to manifest, but she can summon a small fox great at sniffing things out.

History: Ayame had a fairly normal childhood. He father was a businessman who earned a decent wage to support the family, and she was decently popular among her friends. However, after the day she found that dying fox, things changed. She never felt like she was alone, like someone or something was always on her shoulder, watching her. Those around her tended to get an odd feeling around her too, and so she became more solitary as the years went on. She kept a few close friends, but moving to a different high school than them left her feeling like she'd lost the last of her friends.

Supernatural History:Every so often, she'll have a vivid dream of a white fox. The fox has six tails and crimson markings all over its body. Its lips are moving, as if it's trying to speak with her, but she can't hear what it's saying. After these dreams, she wakes up in a cold sweat and feels completely exhausted.
