I'm not sure about a power yet (or rather, not sure what kind of power would fit the concepts I had in mind), but I'll keep you updated and ask you if it's fine asap!
As I said, re-stating my interest here!
EDIT: Perhaps a creative race or two? Not just traditional but including hybrids as well. I am not suggesting human/whatever crosses but rather Inu/Tengu or Kitsune/Oni. These might be more interesting as rare options for a character. Also, there's the possibility of elemental or regional spirits and their descendants. Mountain god's children, etc.


To be honest, I'd avoid any outright "Okay this is the list of races" and just see what people come up with, then talk about stuff on a case-to-case basis.
I agree with 3, to be honest. It's nothing I want to participate in myself, but I realise some people might want to do it, and that's fine by me.

Another thing to consider is "how fantasy should it be"?
Personally, I prefer stuff a little more on the fantasy side rather than the historical side, but even just saying "fantasy", there's a pretty big margin, I guess.
As far as plot goes, I like having a type of guild as a "hub" since it provides easy plothooks, though if that ends up happening, I think downtime (adding slice-of-life stuff here) is important, too. Also, if you have multiple teams (some people perhaps staying home, others going out to one task, another group somewhere else), keeping everything distinct and clear is going to be a challenge. I do like it, though, it's just a challenge to keep in mind.

As far as scale is concerned, I like keeping the possibility of going around the entire country more than one region/city open, but I think having the entire world is a bit too much. Similar feelings on the power level, which I prefer more or less pretty restricted; nothing on the level of city block destruction, anyhow.

I guess this is more or less a given, but any kind of PvP is hard to pull off well and requires a lot of cooperation between GMs and players, probably more than can be expected if nobody knows each other (since well, there are no rules), so I'd steer clear from that no matter what ends up happening.
I am interested, but I think something like that really requires a fairly tight-knit community to come to common decisions when two nations interact, specifically since it's also about war. Do you have a plan for that already, or should it just be talked out since we're all reasonable (I don't think this is a bad way of doing it, just interested)?
Shiro, having fallen asleep leaning against the wall for just a second, slowly opened her eyes again and took a quick look around the room. Looks like the room had filled up quite a bit while she was out... some of the new ones looking considerably more troublesome than others. She had seen the foreigner before, though she never talked to him - he was exactly the type of person Shiro felt like she could not take it easy around, and he talked just a bit too much for her tastes. Though her head was still resting on her palm, she tilted it just a little bit when he addressed her. "Shiro, not Ho...wai...to." Shiro muttered quietly to herself, though her voice was soft enough to be inaudible to anyone else.

She watched idly and silently as the rest of them came in - she didn't know much about most of them, but all in all, everyone looked like they were probably fine enough to be around, and it was not nearly as bad as she had thought it might be - Kazuo and Takeshi were there after all who she knew were alright, and most of the others didn't seem half-bad either. A freshman she had never seen before who looked friendly enough, and the gamer girl who had joined them late looked like she wouldn't be a bother at least - judging by the way she wandered in and barely responded when talked to, she certainly seemed like a loner.

True, besides the Norwegian there were others who looked like they might become a bit troublesome if she just wanted to relax - the blonde one she knew to be a delinquent as well as the dramatic chuunibyou who seemed excited enough to make up for all the rest of them - but she figured if she turned out to be annoying after all she could get away not interacting with the blonde one much at all, something that judging by what she said should suit the other one just fine, and having someone else in the club be so excited and eager was not the worst thing either - if it came to doing the least amount of work possible Shiro was very resourceful, after all, and from what she had seen, chuunibyous were usually quite nice if you humoured them... perhaps some of those newcomers could even become friends of hers over time.

Her train of thought was interrupted when she realised the president was in the middle of her speech, with the white-haired girl sitting up just a little bit straighter as she listened, though she didn't bother getting up from her comfortable spot on the classroom floor, still braced against the wooden wall - once she sat down, it wasn't uncommon for her to sit for at least half an hour: Getting up again was simply too tiring. Besides, most of what she said already seemed fairly obvious to Shiro... still, the thought of being able to quit after one session if she so liked appealed quite a bit to her, as did the fact that they would work independently - she always did much better being able to work at her own pace... a nice, slow, comfortable pace.

When the speech was over and the president gone, Shiro was left to her own thoughts once more, pondering about where to go first, her eyes lowered and her face showing a look of deep concentration as she bit the tip of her thumb. The hallway was right out - there was no space to sit comfortably and too many people used it even in those late afternoon hours - and staying in that classroom that made even someone as calm as her just a little nervous didn't sound like the most appealing option either. The courtyard was nice and warm at this time of the day, but people would likely want her actually searching for clues when she was there, and that was not exactly what she wanted... leaving the cafeteria and the library. Biting her thumb a little harder she thought about what she wanted to do - the library was wonderfully quiet, but the cafeteria didn't sound bad either... though when she lifted her head and heard Gael speak, she knew her choice. If the loudmouth foreigner went to get food, then...

"I'm going to the library..." Shiro slowly pushed herself up from the ground, making it look more like an agonising ordeal than the simple act it was and leaning against the wall once she stood again, letting out a sigh as if just getting up had sapped her of all strength. With the usual blank stare, she slouched a little closer to the door and looked at the others, past the ones who she was already friends with, particularly at the brown-haired freshman, the one who had come in with the game console and, oddly enough, the chuunibyou as well. "One of you wanna come with me...?"
Should I wait for everyone to have had their chance to post before I make another one?
It's okay, maybe there'll be a puzzle based around making pastries~
Shiromi walked through the door at snail's pace, barely taking notice of the president or the book she was reading, nor the oppressive aura that covered the otherwise normal-looking room. Why was she here, anyway? All she wanted when she told Takeshi that yes, she would go check it out, was some calm - the past few weeks he hadn't been able to shut up about it, and though she was an easy-going person, there were only so many times you could poke a sleeping bear before it wanted the poking to stop, no matter the cost. Only she wasn't a bear, and rather than maul him, Shiro made an even bigger mistake and promised him she would go at least once. She got away with being a phantom member of other clubs, 'technically' signed to them but hardly ever showing up, in the past two years... but something told her it was not going to be quite as easy for this one. Just once, just to make him happy, and more importantly to quell his excitement, she told herself... how bad could it really be?

With a blank expression Shiro finally made her way into the room, raising a hand and waving towards the president idly. "Mornin'..." She closed the door behind her and dropped the black bag she had slung over her shoulder to the ground, the suspicious lack of a sound it made as it hit the ground giving away that it was mostly empty. All the chairs had been moved aside, and for a few seconds she looked over to the piles in the back, debating whether it was worth the effort to take one for herself... before she made up her mind and leaned against one of the walls instead, allowing herself to slip down until she was sitting on the ground, looking up at the president when she heard the question, her head braced against the wall behind her and arms loose at her sides. Now that she was sitting, the white-haired girl began to feel the foreboding aura of the place, like an itch on the inside of her head that kept her on edge and that she couldn't quite shake... she shook her head a little as if to clear it from the feeling, but it didn't go away. Shiro let out a little sigh. She was calmer than one might expect given just how prevalent the aura was in the room, but she didn't feel especially happy either, and even she couldn't relax nearly as much as she liked with this... Shiro sighed again, bringing her knees up a little higher and a hand to her chin.
"Nah... I'm just here to check it out 'cos I promised someone... that's all. Sorry."
