Monster dens, mysterious places that neither science nor magic can truly explain. Some believe they serve as gates to another plane, the denizens of which can pass through, others theorise powerful mages in the distant past made their homes in these locations and had enchantments in place to summon or create these monsters, guaranteeing they would never be left unguarded. Regardless of what the truth behind them is, the fact remains that the creatures that live in these dens are dangerous and must be dealt with whenever they appear.

That's where Hunters come in. Mages, martial artists, archers and more dedicated to clearing out problematic monster dens. While their job is generally the same, Hunters work for a variety of reasons; some are in it for the rather impressive sums of money jobs tend to offer, some track down specific species which are known for their culinary applications and some even avoid killing monsters, aiming to capture them for research, to be sold as pets or some other purpose and some are just interested in helping people or putting their strength to the test.

The coastal town of Shinkawa happens to be located near several of these dens, with monsters tending to show up from time to time from the depths of the ocean, the Inoue forest to the city's south or the caves that dot Mount Tomari to the south-east. The town's architecture is generally fairly modern, aside from a few streets of more traditional buildings around the Shinkawa Shrine, a large Shinto shrine on the northern end. The town's main attractions (aside from near guaranteed employment for hunters) include its beautiful beaches, on days when they aren't being assaulted by the kraken or other sea-dwelling monsters at least, the Budou café, a maid café with an eccentric owner and the shrine.
So, yeah, basically this is going to be a fantasy sandbox RP set in the town of Shinkawa in the Japan-analogue country of Himoto. There's not really going to be much of an overarching plot, although player created plots or events are encouraged. Tone-wise, I'm aiming for something LIGHTHEARTED AND COMEDIC for the most part.

Oh, and VitaVitaAR will be helping me out with GMing.
A couple of notes:

- The standard fantasy races are present and player-created races can be submitted. Just don't go too crazy. If your race is basically kryptonians or something similarly godlike, they probably won't get in. Also, I'd prefer if we could avoid having any sapient races that are always evil.
- Mages don't have a monopoly on logic-defying craziness. Ki attacks, destructive shockwaves or beams from swinging a sword and the like are all acceptable.
- Keep the tone in mind. While serious plots are fine with me, I don't want things going too grimdark.

Name: Vampires
Description: Vampires are fearsome creatures of the night that turn those they drink the blood of into their slaves...Except when they don't. The actual traits of a vampire vary greatly from case to case. Some turn others simply by drinking their blood, others need to feed the target some of their own and others still are completely incapable of siring new vampires. Some burst into flames when exposed to sunlight while some just get exhausted or sunburnt quickly. Of all the traits commonly associated with them, the only one that seems to be consistent is a need to drink blood to survive.
Um, Google Translate's not exactly the most reliable thing sometimes. ^^;

For example, it didn't give you Japanese words so much as...English words, as said by a Japanese person. "Kirei Yoko" might be better if you want it in Japanese.
I think I'll go with the body weight one. Spinning could lead to interesting stuff too, but just "spinning" feels a bit too vague for me. ^^;
But good business sense leads to MONEY and MONEY is the best superpower!
Name: Katsumi Ichimonji

Age: 15

Appearance: "J-just a second..." She's about 5'1" and usually ties her hair in twintails. As for her magical girl outfit, the one on the left, basically.

Personality: Katsumi can be somewhat shy and awkward in most social situations, with a tendency to come up with the perfect response to something...about 5 minutes after it was said. However, if she feels comfortable around someone or the subject turns to something she likes, she becomes more cheerful and energetic. She can be surprisingly hammy in the rare situations she thinks it's appropriate. She is a fan of an assortment of manga and anime, ranging from slice of life comedy to shonen action to psychological horror, as well as assorted tokusatsu series of varying degrees of cheesiness.

History: Katsumi's past has never been particularly interesting. Her parents have a loving marriage, her little brother is alive and well (and a bit of a brat) and she's lived in the same house since she was born. Perhaps the most impressive thing is her consistently above average grades despite studying being a lower priority than anime and video games in her mind. In the past year, her mother decided she's old enough to not need an allowance any more, leading to Katsumi getting a part time job as a waitress at the Ichigo Café.

Powers: (?)
So, I know I haven't actually posted a character (still trying to decide on an idea for mine) but...Surely if any of the characters that have been accepted so far were powerful enough that they could, as some people here seem to think, just destroy any and all opposition with little to no effort, they wouldn't have been accepted. Maybe the characters aren't overpowered and you're just underestimating the threats the GM has in mind?

Also...
The four generals with their 'unfathomable' power would stand little chance against the rebels if they were all like our characters.
Who says all of the rebels are all like the PCs? I mean, it's not like every rebel in Star Wars could move objects with their mind or rip a man's arms off with their bare hands. I doubt every unnamed soldier in Lord of the Rings could take down a mumak on their own, etc.
Sounds interesting.

Looks good to me. Accepted.
