Shaman King Roleplay?

First Post is live! Shaman King: Darkstars

Shaman King: Darkstars

A scream could be heard coming from the house of the Patch chieftain as Goldva awoke from a nightmare. The recently named Patch Chieftain was struggling to adjust to her new guardian ghost, the Patch Tribe's Big Chief. The spirit of a former chieftain, Big Chief was passed from chieftain to chieftain and harbored a collective knowledge of the Patch's history. This knowledge presented itself in the form of prophetic dreams. Whenever she went to sleep, Goldva would receive a vision in the form of a dream. Tonight however, something was different.

As Goldva struggled out of bed, her thoughts drifted back to the dream she'd just had. The Big Chief had shown her a vision of Hao Asakura, the shaman who 400 years had reincarnated into the Patch Tribe and made off with the Spirit of Fire. It had been a humiliation for the Patch Tribe and many chiefs had sought to protect the four remaining high spirits at any cost. In the dream, she saw Hao sitting with the Spirit of Fire, only for Hao to split into two! The second Hao proceeded to become covered in shadow and morph into a new form, covered in darkness, but without the Spirit of Fire. The young chief's eyes widened as she began to put the pieces together.

"A second Hao..." Her voice came out as barely a whisper before the realization of what she said sunk in. If another shaman were to acquire the power of Hao Asakura, the results could be disastrous. Taking a moment to compose herself, Goldva strode over to her window and summoned the Big Chief into her pipe. For the last 400 years, the Patch had been preparing for a moment like this: The Darkstars. A special task force composed of shamans from around the globe. Shamans who could have competed for the title of King had they been born at the right time. Channeling her pipe into the Patch Arrow, Goldva shot it skywards.

The arrow soared into this air, leaving behind a trail of brilliant green light. Shamans who were part of the Darkstars task force would see the light and be summoned to the Patch Village. As per the agreement with the Asakura Clan, the Patch couldn't intervene in their affairs with Hao, but this was a unique case, deserving of the best forces the Patch could muster to protect the Great Spirit. As it reached the zenith of its flight, the arrow burst as the green light scattered around the globe, alerting the Darkstars.

@LuckyBlackCat actually forget what I said. I’m coming around on the horns! 😂

To be fair, one of them was a viking; their leader was Irish and the other was Russian I think.

@BenG85

Shh! He doesn’t need to know that part.

@LuckyBlackCat I honestly did envision it still having traditional wings, but I’m interested in this concept and where you can take it! Maybe the cape-like appendage can split open into wings (like Meta-Knight’s cape in Kirby?) Not sure if I’m crazy about the horns though. 🤔

@Product there was already a Viking team in the original manga so I don’t see why it’s impossible. (Team Northmen)

Rory arrived outside and stood next to Orianna. Seeing the two Pokémon recover from the sudden attack then jump right back in seemed to stem his worries a little.

"Well that didn't go as badly as I thought it would," he said. "You don't usually see them recovering from a dragon rage like that so quickly." Noting Orianna's confused expression, Rory pointed to the battle. "I'm all for letting you battle and train your Pokemon, but you have to remember to make sure they can control their own power before you go letting loose." Seeing the two boys were fully taken in by the fight, the older trainer gestured for Orianna and Shakudo to follow him and Floatzel.

Moving around to the back of the lab, there was a four-seater jeep parked. "The professor wants me to drive you three straight to Hesperus City for the start. Once there, we can get you three set up with the local Overseer and get access to the next few routes. If you don't mind, can you run in and grab the bags off the main table for me? They shouldn't be hard to find. That's going to be our camping gear and food for the next few weeks of travel."

Hey, guys. Sorry I've been busy the last couple days. Had to get a new job lined up and that takes time lol. Hopefully should have something posted today. For some basic info about the setting, It's currently the 1950s. Goldva has just become chieftain of the Patch Tribe. After the humiliation 400 years ago in which Hao Asakura stole the Spirit of Fire, she wants to rededicate efforts to stopping Shamans like him before they become a threat. As it happens, there is a new Shaman out in the world somewhere who is amassing power in a similar manner to Hao. Deciding the tribe cannot directly intervene, Goldva recruits a team of shamans in the hopes they will be able to confront this character before he/she becomes a threat.

@Mistress Dizzy If you want to jump in early, I didn’t get anyone to play the first Overseer. DM me and I can send you some more details.

@Mistress Dizzy unfortunately, we won’t get to you for a bit, but I’ll try and find a way to work you and Chev in so you aren’t totally left out.
