Both approved.

Yurei High: Spooks Versus Students (Ghost Hunting)

actually, @Three, do you think that having her parents and family massacred in a theatre is too much? Thats the backstory I have already for my character, but I'm not sure how far to go with it...

@Vocab

Yeah, that's a bit much. We don't want to get too heavy, here.

Yurei High: Spooks Versus Students (Ghost Hunting)

Occult Club President

"...don't make me get the Spectral Fishing Rod."

Name: Matsushima Mitsuko

Gender: Female

Age: 17

Personality: One would expect the so-called eccentric club president of an Occult Club, a person with vested interest and belief in the supernatural, to be an audacious, broad-speaking, probably kinda chuuni class of being. In this particular case, one would be horribly wrong. While in her youth, Mitsuko did in fact fit that description rather well, the trials of being told "Ghosts aren't real, you dummy" over the course of her life have worn her down, turning energy into resignation. Rather than excitedly grabbing someone by the shoulders and shaking them whilst yelling about the existence of a ghost, Mitsuko is the kind to dryly roll her eyes as she denounces the empirical beliefs of another. Mitsuko can thus be compared to a high-class ice queen who does not find passion in the occult, but merely asserts it as a fact of life.
In her interactions with others, she is straight and to the point, seeming to want to end conversations as quickly and efficiently as possible. Thus, while she is not bad at reading the atmosphere, she often takes on the traits of someone who is. For instance, someone with said deficiency might walk into a funeral, look around, and say "Oh wow, who died?" whilst being oblivious to the event being a funeral. Mitsuko would walk into a funeral, look around, and say "Oh, who died?" whilst being perfectly serious about the question. Of course, given that she's not some sort of emotionless robot with no sense of social cues, this is an exaggeration.
In sum, Mitsuko's simply a standard kuudere who views the supernatural as an internalized premise rather than a horizon's goal.

History: A simple life, on the whole. Mitsuko was raised by a mundane family, and was a rather standard child. Like any other child, she believed in the classic supernatural stories told by parents to their children. Her life continued on in a predictable manner, the young Mitsuko going through school happily; her academic performance didn't stand out, and she could be called a precisely mediocre individual.
This, however, changed around the time she was twelve. While her classmates had outgrown those childish stories of ghosts and monsters under the bed, Mitsuko constantly yammered about their existence, carrying a net in her backpack to catch ghosts in case she found any, and trying to recruit classmates for the task of battling the supernatural. As a result, she became something of a pariah, "that weird ghost girl". Mitsuko was initially unchanged by this treatment, but over the years gradually became more withdrawn on the matter. It wasn't that she believed in the occult; to her, she knew the occult was real, but the mindless dregs around her simply refused to face that truth. Dismissing them as useless for failing to acknowledge this truth of the world, Mitsuko ceased to outwardly express these beliefs of hers, and instead simply focused on herself. In that sense, she largely became a "normal" individual again, an ice queen who fit into the school demographic perfectly. While her prior beliefs remained the same, the expression of them became less present. There are some rumors present regarding secret activities she has taken over the past few years, though, chief among them the creation of multiple "ghost hunting" tools. Regardless, as she no longer outwardly acted like "that weird ghost girl", her ostracization was largely weakened.
A short while after the beginning of her final year at Yurei High, after numerous appeals, Mitsuko finally managed to get faculty approval for the re-establishment of the Occult Club, which had been disbanded several years prior.
Come to the first meeting!

Skills:

Occult Knowledge: Mitsuko's mental compendium of the occult can be considered unmatched among the students and faculty of Yurei High, as well as the surrounding prefecture. While this sounds impressive, her overall occult knowledge is actually low, considering how large the pool is, but among humans this is still pretty impressive.

Photography: Quick with a camera and possessing excellent finger-focused reflexes. If she was more deviant, Mitsuko could probably make a living by selling panty shots.

Item Creation: The talent to combine mundane and supernatural items to create "magitech artifacts" which transcend human reason, reaching into the realms of the possible and impossible. Providing she possesses one supernatural artifact to serve as the "spark", and one mundane artifact to serve as the "base", she has an uncanny knack for combining them into a single cohesive existence. This skill can incidentally also be known under the moniker of "Duct Tape Ownership".

This seems really fun =) Kind of reminds me of Haruhi Suzumiya (which I loved! =P), I'd love to join if that's okay?

@PixelJunkie

Of course!

Yurei High: Spooks Versus Students (Ghost Hunting)

Well~

I was part of a similar RP awhile back.

If you'll have me, I'll definitely join this. Give me a bit to work on a CS, though~

@Rune_Alchemist

Of course. Take your time~

Yurei High: Spooks Versus Students (Ghost Hunting)

I'm not exactly knowledgeable when it comes to Japanese schools, what's the age range? :P

@Mr_pink

It's the equivalent to sophomore through senior years for America, so 15-18, basically.

Ghost Hunting High School Occult Club

Eh? What's an OOC doing here? Who is responsible for this?!

Newcomers are still welcome to join~

Yurei High: Spooks Versus Students (Ghost Hunting)

Join the Occult Club! Come discuss the supernatural with like-minded people, and have a great time!
Room 2-A, 3:30-4:30, Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Free snacks will be served!
Also join us for our Halloween Extravaganza this Saturday; stop by a club meeting for details!

Yurei High School, a public academic institution in modern-day Japan. As of today, Tuesday the 27th of October, the formerly-disbanded Occult Club has been re-founded. All students are welcome to join! Oh, and those rumors about the club president blackmailing people into joining? Um...we refuse to comment on that.

Do be careful if you stop by the Halloween Extravaganza, though. Rumor has it that something prowls the school campus at night. Well, not so much "rumors" as "the fervent proclamations of the club president". She's been talking about ridiculous things like that, as well as about the "magitech artifacts" that she's discovered and created to fight off the supernatural.

The club president sure is a character, isn't she?

"Well, thanks for tuning in! This has been today's Yurei High news bulletin. Have a great Tuesday, everyone! I'm Shishigou Chiyo, signing off!"

---

This is a roleplay meant to incorporate generic anime shenanigans and lighthearted character interaction/humor with some more fantasy-style and horror elements. Characters will be students at Yurei High who, through one means or another, get involved in the activities of the occult club. Whether an enthusiastic club member, a delinquent who's roaming the school at night, or a tyrannical student council president who finds herself blackmailed by the club president, you will find yourselves somehow brought into the president's eccentric fantasies.

Of course, when night falls over the school...you might find that those eccentricies were better placed than you once thought.

Be careful out there. Spooks are about.

Rules

No metagaming, no godmodding, auto-hitting, no controlling other people's characters, no doing things you shouldn't be able to do. This is all standard stuff.

No being a bully OOC. You can be a bully IC though. That's totally fine.

If you'll be taking a leave of absence, let me know so everyone doesn't wonder if you died. If you don't do this, tragic things might happen to your character while we're waiting for you to post, which would be really sad.

You are not always right.

Ghost Hunting High School Occult Club

Well doesn't this sound like a familiar anime setup xD
I could definitely be interested in something like this, though I'd like to know if this'll be more like Suzumiya Haruhi (eccentric protagonist in a modern setup) or if it would actually involve strong supernatural components?
The part about Magitech sort of makes it sound like the latter, but I just wanted to make sure.

@Rakurai

There will a good amount of supernatural stuff. In-RP, there'll be something of a divide between the more supernatural aspects such as the nightly ghost huntings, and the daily school life, though there will be some bleedover. The focus is mainly on the ghost hunting and character dynamics around it.
