The Book Of
Thoth.


You toss and turn inside of your bed unable to sleep. In your dreams, you are walking down a long dark corridor you walk into a cozy but tacky-looking room. In this room, an androgyny-looking person is sitting in a large comfy chair. This person has a large book sitting on their lap. Speaking to you about how you have been chosen to help battle the evil forces that are planning to eradicate humanity and turn Earth into their new home. The figure speaks that this symbol would enable you to summon demons to protect yourself against evil. The figure says that the way to summon a demon would be to call forth their name. The figure burns a Symbol on the back of your hand. The pain is intense and causes you to jolt awake from your bed, thinking nothing of it and going on with your mundane life.

In the waking world, you hear on the news of strange occurrences happening around the city. People claimed that saw supernatural beings wandering the city, or seeing paranormal activities. Most of it was scoffed at and disregarded as crazy people hallucinating. You also hear whispers of a budding new age group that is talking about the end of days. As well as the sudden rise of murders. While you are going on with your day you are attacked by a Demon

The back of your hand starts hurting when you notice the symbol from your dream burnt into your hand. Calling forth your demon and fighting to protect your life. Can you figure out the appearance of the demons, and why supernatural events are happening? Or will you succumb to the hellish forces that want to destroy all of humanity?

Some additional information about his roleplay is that it will be set in Tokyo, Japan. So your character can be Japanese or of another culture that is visiting/living in the country. During the course of the roleplay, your character will be put in morally questionable situations. Being given a choice on how to deal with these morally questionable situations. Your character will be drawn into the many strange and supernatural events going on in the city. Trying to solve what is going on and being given the choice to pick which side you will be joining. This will be more of a mystery-orientated roleplay, but of course, I will be sprinkling a bit of combat in the roleplay to keep things exciting.

Still interested, sorry for the delay, just got a bunch of RPs I need to get to before I can get started on a CS.

I'd also be okay with a discord, personally.

Still interested, will have a character up in a day or so!

I'm fine either way on Discord, I use it, but I've also found that sometimes the RP languishes because OOC-conversation and sharing memes tend to become more popular than posting. Up to you, GM!

Okay then perhaps I'll keep communication here in the OOC or in DMs. I will be also working on my own character sheet.

@Eviledd1984 Question about the Alignments (Light-Law, Neutral-Law, Dark-Law, Dark-Neutral, Neutral-Neutral, Light-Neutral, Light-Chaos, Neutral-Chaos, Dark-Chaos): in the SMT series, do Light and Dark refer to how the person is SEEN by others, or does it refer to their actual nature like in Dungeons and Dragons?

Cause by DnD rules we'd assume Light is Good and Dark is Evil, but in SMT their take on certain mythologies seems to go against that--the game's take on YHVH/Ancient of Days/etc are usually labeled "Light-Law," but in the context of the games their goal is often to destroy/enslave humanity. So the only reason they're "Light" is because human beings have seen/worshipped them, as opposed to fearing/hating them like Satan, not necessarily because they're "good." So in that case for human characters would it be more about their reputation and/or how other people see them?

EDIT: Also, here's the first draft for my character! Let me know if anything needs to be fixed or changed.

From Apocalypse, it seems like Light is friendly and Dark is antisocial. The other games don't really expand on a player being able to choose one or the other directly, it's more complex, so IV:A seems like the best example.

Huh, I'm wondering if an introvert like Rhia should be Dark instead of Light then? She's driven away from people more out of fear and trauma than dislike, but if it weren't for that she'd be pretty amicable I'd think...

Honestly i'm thinking of keeping it simple. Changing it to Law (Good), Neutral (Neutral), and Chaos (Evil).

I will also have a look at your sheet when i get home from work.

The sheet looks good, but I just to let you know that this RP is set in Japan. So would it be possible to include in her backstory what she is doing there? I also changed the alignment to make it more simple, so please make those changes as well.

I already finished the edits lol, it's cool! Let me know if anything else needs to be fixed!

XD That might've worked if attending somewhere like Toudai sounded remotely feasible for a non-fluent, non-native speaker.
