That's my final word and I'm not budging on this.

Moving on now.
I'd think the GM would know if a character idea makes sense their setting or not. Kind of weird for someone to tell them they're wrong in that regard.
Interest.
Throughout history, there have been those who wielded the power of the gods. Calling themselves champions, avatars, descendents or incarnations of their deities, these people performed great deeds which shaped the course of history. While some went down in history, others passed into myth and legend, as scholars doubted the plausibility of their fantastic stories.

The town of Shinkawa is located on the western coast of the main island of Japan. To the east of Shinkawa lies the Inoue forest, which is home to a variety of flora and fauna. As for the town itself, its 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 include its beautiful beaches, a number of cafés and restaurants, including the Budou café, where the staff's uniforms tend to resemble typical maid or butler outfits and famous Ravissant patisserie, which is known for both the incredible quality of its products and the fact that its owner and head chef was once a professional wrestler, Izumi's Funland, an amusement park with a variety of rides and the Shinkawa shrine itself.

Within this town, the gods have recently broken their centuries-long silence in a big way. A number of people have been approached by "heralds", animals sacred to a god, who granted them power. At the same time, people have started talking about strange creatures seen lurking in the night. The population at large is oblivious to the arrival of the gods' champions, brushing off the sightings as normal animals. However, those who received the power know these things are more than just stray cats.






So, basically, this is an urban fantasy RP set in a (fictional) Japanese town. Within the past couple of weeks, the PCs encountered a god or goddess's "herald", who gave them their powers, warned them about the coming evil and told them about the other Avatars. Overall, the tone of the RP is meant to be on the lighter side. Also, the title's a bit of a misnomer, since the Avatars don't need to be female.

As Avatars, there tend to be some appearance changes (mostly clothing, though animal traits the deity tends to be depicted with could also make an appearance) and their powers are based on the deity's domains. In addition to these powers, Avatars are stronger, faster and tougher than normal humans.

I'm really sorry for holding things up so much. I think it's probably better if I just drop out at this point. This character's just way too passive to work, especially with the world I chose. Sorry again for the inconvenience.
I'm probably not going to be online for the next couple of days, since I'm visiting family, but I should hopefully actually be able to post after that.
It's probably best to just move it along again, sorry.
Sorry I haven't posted recently. It's...probably best to just advance that scene without waiting for me, since I can't really think of anything to add at the moment other than a 2-3 sentence summary of the other posts in the scene with obvious agreements thrown in without actually saying anything.
Akira stared for a moment as the duo introduced themselves as a single Kamen Rider. Did they fuse somehow? Rider suggested some kind of mount, so did one of them turn into a bike or something? Deciding it was better to not dwell on it and just ask later, she shook her head and moved on. Of course, this was helped by the sudden edible projectile hurtling towards her.

"Gah! What the hell?!" she exclaimed, barely catching the incoming free sample before it hit her in the face, "Who throws food like that?"

Turning to the source, she was met with a character with way too many motifs going on. Cowboy, rock star and apparently ninja too. Akira was a little annoyed that the ninja would risk potentially hurting people and, more importantly (given the circumstances), wasting food like that. However, another distraction popped up at that moment. Lydia returned and with her, a set of doorways had appeared.

Akira found herself hesitating for a moment, as each of the doors was at least a little intimidating. She wasn't going to back down after agreeing to help, but...easing herself into this situation seemed like the best idea. With that in mind, she followed the youkai and Kamen Rider through the left portal.

"America, huh?" She repeated, taking in the surrounding area. Akira tensed up for a moment when she saw the non-humans, but the fact that no one was panicking seemed to suggest that might just be how things were in this world. The fog clouding the sky looked a bit disconcerting too.
