The Spirit King: Sign-up/discussion
 

Well in the spirit of the holloween spirit I thought we should start a spirit RP *light laugh*...*Crickets chirping*. Anyways these are the rules on characters. You can use ones from anime (one per member) but they must be spiritual. So anime like Inuyasha, Shaman King, Yu Yu Hakuso are ok but ones like DBZ, Trigun, Cowboy Bebop are out. Also to keep things simple no magical anime. If you aren't sure if they count just PM me. Oh and the enemy is based more on Shaman King then any other anime, but as I said any spiritual anime is ok. Now for the story.

During the final days of the great war. All the enemies of peace were destroyed. However there was a student of the dark spiritual arts that went unnoticed. He appeared without warning. Although he appeared in Armories armor and weilding his armor he revealed he was a student of the scorcerer Scorn. But unlike his master that focused on mystic arts he turned his sights to those of the spiritual realm.

When he surfaced he infused his weapons with souls conjuring the shamanic arts. Before his onslaught on all life he gave a simple responce to justify what he is doing. "Life breeds death. We all die eventually and only then can we reach our true power. Armagedon will happen eventually and then the world of the living will be gone and only the spirit realm will remain. I am merely speeding things up abit."

Well thats the basis of it. Your mission is to stop this enemy. Though I warn you he is too powerful for one person to defeat. Only as a team can you hope to defeat him and even then can you stop his great power.

Anime: (if any)
Powers: (what you can do)
Spirit Skill: (How you channel your spirit power, shamanically, demonic aura, spirit enhancement like in Yu Yu Hakuso, ect.)
Bio:

Name: Tenshi Satoi (toi for short)
Gender: female
Race: kitsune (full details at foxtrots kitsune lore)
Appearance: Satoi is 5' 3", with large green eyes and red hair, which darkens to black at the tips. She is slender, with sharp features and a constantly mischievous expression. While her true age is unknown (suspected to be in the 300's due to her 3 tails) she appears to be around 16 years old.
Anime: (none I think, though I guess she would be at least marginally related to Kurama [point that out to her, and die], although I believe kurosawa did a short anime about kitsune)
Powers: Illusion (minor as she's still young, solid, but no taste, smell, etc.), kitsune-bi (breath small amounts of fire, use tails to created fire/lightning), seduction (minor mind control, opposite sex only), can assume either fox or fox/hybrid form. vampirism, feeds off of others chi energy, though this requires some form of intimacy to pull off.
weaknesses: those with strong religious powers (druids, shaman, clerics etc.) can destroy kitsune illusions with a touch, as well as counter most other abilities.
Spirit Skill: fox magic, granted by the rice emporor Inari, elemental alignment void.
Bio: Toi has been working in the court of Inari for most of her short life. Having seen the devastation caused by the resurfacing of the dark spiritualists, offerings were made to Inari for aid. As this was a dangerous assignment, he felt sending an 'expendable' kitsu would be the wisest choice. Enter Satoi, who, as far as she knows, was granted the honor of appearing amongst the mortals, and is now enjoying her stay in the physical realm.
Personality: Satoi is, at her heart, a playful child. This manifests itself in her desire to play pranks, although she is also something of a flirt. It's not so much she doesn't care about others, as she doesn't realize that other things are, well, mortal. The fact that she is also mortal at the moment has yet to dawn on her.

Before I create a character, I'd like a little more information on the world. Is it mostly based on our world? Is it more like (please excuse me for this) a modern-Feudal-Japan? How much of an effect did the great war have on society? Are there roaming thieves and monsters? I'd just like a little better idea.
On an unrelated note, when're you getting your computer fixed so that we can play this game (among others :p )?

I'd like to make the spirit character of a fallen warrior who's soul now haunts her own armor and weapon, animating it to function almost like she does. It's not from any anime that I know of, but can I do that?

Not in the way you describe it. I would advise playing a shaman that channels the spirit into the weapon. Oh and shamans in a sence play not just their character but thier spirits.

As for Phil_mike's questions. It is divided into 3 realms each having access points (like the well of Inuyasha, or that trap door in Yu Yu Hakusho). You have Feudal esque area that is full of demons. Then you have a modern day realm, and finally a spirit realm (that will be pretty much off limits though). The great war was over all these realms and more. However these realms were minor battle grounds so the public didn't truely realize what happened. But the warriors that fought or atleast aided the war know of it. So it might affect your character but not society as a whole. Oh and it is fixed I just need to install somethings so expect it later today. Hope that answers everything

Name: GadGad Goesben
Gender: Male
Race: Human-Manticore Hybrid
Age: he forgot a few winters ago (no more than 30)
Appearance: 6'1"; Thick, well groomed yellow (not blonde) hair on his arms and legs; Medium length hair an his head that curls and forms a sort-of mane. A thin, 4' tail ending in a "club" about the size of a softball covered in porquipine (sorry about the spelling) quills. Small, useless wings between his shoulder blades; Defined muscles; longer than normal canines, but not quite fangs; Wears a blue muscle shirt and loose green cloth pants.
Anime: He'd fit in to Yu Yu pretty well...
Powers: Can launch quills like bolts and channel his mana into his fingers and quills, making them as sharp, strong, and rigid as steel. Improved sense of smell and electrical sensitivity gve him a dog-like mindreading ( he can smell your fear :bmage: )
Spirit Skill: Channels mana into his hands and tail using a manticore quill fetish wrapped around his left wrist.
Bio: Born and raised by a human mother, GG lived for a short time as a normal young boy, playing with others and enjoying life. But as time went on, he became aware of the growing fear in his peers. He also started to hear adults saying terrible things about his mother. So, like any good, healthy child, he ran away. Unlike most children, he had the strength to survive without his parents. He hasn't seen his mother since then.
In the wild, he searched for his other progenator, his father. He didn't know that manticores are inhuman beasts who would tear their own son in half. He didn't learn this from his father. One day, climbing through the mountains, he came across a delapidated old shack. He smelled dead rats, and started towards his lunch. Then he smelled something else: blood. Warm blood. Blood like his own. He continued toward the shack. Then he saw a manticore, split from nose to navel, lying in front of an old man. GG felt no sorrow for the loss of the father he never knew, only curiosity about this little creature who slew him. GG became this man's student, and in time learned how to hear spirits and channel his mana into his fingers, making them claws far sharper and more deadly then his father's. Then the old man, like most people, died. GG set off again to learn about his animal heiritage. By studying the manticores in the mountains, he learned to fire his quills. He then combined his skills to make an energized quill volley attack.
One day, he started to want something. He didn't know what it was, but he wanted it, and he knew that the only place to find it was among his other people, the humans. GG has been among the humans ever since, getting fearful stares and martial arts instruction. Now, he is a greater beast than any wild monster could hope to be, but he still doesn't know what desire drew him to humans again.
Personality: Despite living as an animal, GG is a kind soul. He only learned to fight to know more about his father. Has a great deal of empathy, and supports his friends. Sometimes seems like a child, and has difficulty understanding complicated sarcasm and jokes. His feelings are easily hurt, but he knows when to cover them and when to show them.

psss:better?

He is too big to put it simpley. There is no way he would blend in at all. Cut him down a foot or two.

Oh and this is to everyone. The anime thing is only if you wanna play a character from an anime. Some examples are if you wanna play Inuyasha or Yoh or another spiritual anime character. Otherwise just leave it blank

I don't know what to do, but I'm leaning towards someone heavily influenced by Silva and Yoh from Shaman King.

finished editing. Will Toi work?
