[OOC] Imaginary District: Youkai, Magic, and Youth, An Urban Fantasy RP

[Jedly]

KURWAAAAAAAAAA MY DORM DOESN'T HAVE AC BUT I BOUGHT MINI FAN CRAFTED WITH RUSSIAN BIAS

EDIT:

Orip I missed the 800th post.

[AtomicNut]

oh, so you had this jig too...

Do we have to play nice, or we can play naughty characters?

[VitaVitaAR]

Depends on how you do it!

I tend to hold antagonists to a higher standard because I've seen a lot not done so well. ^^;

[ghastlyInc]

(so are we all square @VitaVitaAR)

[VitaVitaAR]

@ghastlyInc: You're correct, and accepted. Forgot to do that. ^^;

[ghastlyInc]

Nah its all good :3

[AtomicNut]

Several concepts.

1-Hotheaded Dragon who wants to prove he's bestest (also a teenage meatheaded idiot)
2-Human...or well, something that started as such and that has been scamming and stealing stuff for centuries... and even escaped all kinds of hells and divine wrath once or twice. Think Sun Wukong kind of tricky.
3- Just your average greedy real estate agent who wants to be done with supernatural squatters to build condos. Possibly a Tanuki or somesuch.

[VitaVitaAR]

I will say dragons are off-limits because they're really weird in this setting. ^^;

The other ideas could work though.

[13org]

Hmm... interesting.

Have you heard about

Huldra

Huldra (or called Tallemaja in Swedish) is a troll-like woman living in the woods. She is fair and beautiful, but wild and has a long cow-tail which she hides behind her back upon meeting a human. It is said that Adam and Eve had many children, and that one day, when Eve was giving her children a bath, God came to visit. Eve had not finished bathing all of her children, and so hid those who were still dirty. God asked: “Are there not more children?” and when Eve said no, God said: “Then let all that is hidden, remain hidden,” and the hidden children became De Underjordiske (the ones living underground), lost souls who live under the surface of the earth, calling for someone to be with them, usually human passersby. Huldra was one of them, but she somehow remained above the ground. She is a flirtatious, young girl who is neither good nor evil.

Sady, it doesn't seem to be any exciting male creatures on the Scandinavian / german folklre

[VitaVitaAR]

@13org: I haven't, but that's not unworkable... that being said you'd need to cut the Bible connection, since when a setting has every single deity being real it doesn't work out so well, eh-heh.

[13org]

@VitaVitaAR Yup, ik.

I usually pick myths and creatures and make a "rework" to fit them in the RP world.

I'm currently looking for something that catch my eyes in the Nordic mythologies.

I don't plan in doing a Huldra tho. already have a female character.

Any suggestion?

[13org]

Well... There are Dökkálfar and Ljósálfar... but they are basically your average fantasy elf.....

Hmm... maybe a Rakshasa?

ADVERTISING LIKE A SHAMELESS WHORE

[ghastlyInc]

So...which team would prefer to have a sheep for the moment? Just so I know before I post.

[VitaVitaAR]

@ghastlyInc: Hmm. Skill-wise he'd be useful on either really, so it's a hard choice.

[AtomicNut]

ALRIGHT, IT'S TIME FOR BUSINESS TYCOON SWAG!

Also I regret nothing of the Tanuki's transformation flaw. :P

• Name: Kuro Tamagi
• Age:157 (Old enough to have a good grasp at youkai abilities, young enough to be a smug idiot)
• Gender:Male
• Race:Baketanuki
• Appearance: Kuro can take many appearances, but his actual, most common appearance is that of a young, 5'10'' dashing young man, dressing in an immaculate white suit with a brown striped tie, expensive italian shoes, and black gloves. His short black hair is combed backwards, and he has dark bags under his brown beady eyes. Like all tanuki he also has sizable junk. His TRUE appearance also includes round-shaped racoon ears, a bushy ringed tail, rings around the eyes and also sizable junk.
• Personality: Kuro is an ambitious raccoon from the Tamagi clan, who has grown tired of the stale old ways of a lot of youkai, and has reinvented himself as successful, yet ruthless and self-conceited businessman. Kuro puts a lot of emphasis in his personal benefit and wealth, and he's not above tricking people for his own ends. He also dislikes other kinds of shapeshifters like foxes and mujin, and in the case of foxes, he also envies their other magical abilities and overall better standing. He also seems to know the importance of caring for one's underlings, even if he truly sees them as disposable pieces. Deep down, he's just someone with deep insecurities, and that hides his own weakness behind his money making skills.
• Abilities:
  Transformation Master: As a tanuki, his transformation skill surpasses that of foxes, and can take any humanoid form or shape without great effort, and somewhat inanimate objects, being able to fool almost all mundane detection devices. Although this is only apperance wise, having none of the durability nor skills of the people he copies. Almost all his transformation have a flaw, though, as they retain his raccoon "attribute" (which is shown "elsewhere" in the case of female transformations). He can hide this flaw, however, but only for limited periods of time. His mastery is such that he can even fool supernatural detection means, but like with his flaw removal, it can only be done for a short amount of time.
  Tanuki Illusions: Like foxes, Kuro can create vivid, longstanding, multisensorial illusions which are quite realistic and hard to shake off. However, unlike more elder tanukis and foxes, he does require a sizable material component (IE: leaves) in order for them to work properly. Without them, he's only limited to personal illusions or short-limited ones. As a skilled illusionist, it's pretty hard to trap him into one too.
  Animal Senses and agility: Kuro has heightened smell, hearing and nightvision. He also can move more deftly than an average human.
• Skills:
  Aikido: Since Tanuki are usually non-confrotational beings, Kuro isn't the best fighter out of there and he has learned aikido in hopes of redirecting opponents attack against him. It'd probably not work on good martial artists, however.
  Information SkillsAs a businessman of the ruthless sort, Kuro is good at deducting things and finding secrets about rivals, in an effort to overturn the situations with better intel. He's also decent with computers too.
  Midas Touch: Like foxes and other tanukis, being a spirit of good fortune actually makes Kuro a good money-raiser. He instinctively knows which are the best ways to get money and funding, and he is imbued with great luck in gambling and business endeavours.
• Equipment:
  Suit
  Cellphone
  Bag of Leaves
  His junk
• Brief Backstory: Kuro was born in the forests of rural japan, although he came to witness the rise of the industrial revolution. Thus, the young tanuki learned to adapt quickly to the ever changing eras, and he wisened up enough to actually survive so many changes in such short time. However, he grew arrogant and confident, and usually clashed with the elder's more conservative dogma of not trying to interfere too much with human business. Kuro was fairly confident that such a thing would eventually lead the tanukis into a rocky spot and thus raised a concern and a rebellion among the Tamagi clan.
  
  His voice and modernized manners attracted some of the youths, but it wasn't enough. Kuro wanted more. He had become embezzled with the bright, modern world, and he entered the spiral of consumism and materialism like a child greedily eats an ice cream. The Imaginary district, the intersection between the two worlds is a perfect ground for his plans and machinations, and he has ever since set up home in there, waiting for the business chances to make him a top figure in both worlds.

[VitaVitaAR]

Pfffft.

He doesn't seem to have any problems, though, so accepted.

[AtomicNut]

@AtomicNutAAAATOOOOMIICCCCC

@liferusher

Wat.

Also should I add a trope of female tanuki with ahem, tanuki sized "endowments"?

Edit: Also, I have a first evil action in mind.

COLLECT THE RENT OF THE YOUTH ORGANIZATION.

[VitaVitaAR]

Has everyone in the cat group posted? I can make an update there if they have.

I know the onryo group hasn't yet.
