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

[AtomicNut]

Also i will let you know that Sho has accidentally proposed marriage to the tanuki girl. Or maybe not.

And she is probably one of Kuro's 20 daughters.

(He probably has like 4 wives or so and they all dumped the kids on him since, hey he is a successful businessman).

[easy modo]

some fact shit:

-amanojaku are ALWAYS antagonists. exceptions mean they're just some shitty almost-oni.
keep that in mind if any of you would want to try to make one, or if you want to start a plot ft. them.

-akanames make perfect household cleaners. no doubt most of them would make a living in the district catering to households.

-2 more onis mean we have the almighty 4 devas.

-this is the shit that plays when karu gets mad as fuck


-this shit also plays when karu is just karu but shit is a little tense


-i just went leitmotif hunting

[VitaVitaAR]

@easy modo: Aaaactually, I've seen some good basis for more sympathetic portrayals of Amanojaku. Though in the case I'm considering she's still pretty typically an antagonist and it IS some fan interpreting but still.

Anyway, I'm really eager to post soon and might be getting something up for team cat, as I feel like it's been too long since the last GM post at all.

[Rin]

I'm just going to admit that I'm really not up to posting right now and you should just assume that Yuina is paralyzed with fear right now and can't do much more than cling to Makiko and stutter incoherently for the next round of posting I guess. Sorry about that.

Kuro: -facepalm- Well at least he is not a kitsune and too stupid to use my credit card.

[easy modo]

blame the seija pairers for these filthy portrayals

anyway, i'm following 1 post per gm-post if there's not much interaction, giving way to other shit like life and arting, so since Rin has somewhat declared a pass i'm waiting for the next turn

Aamuu: *HISSSSSS* *clings to sho*

[Jedly]

Posting at some point today. Got a night class -dies-

[AtomicNut]

And Kuro snapped.

Sho's fault.

[VitaVitaAR]

So how about Satori.

Satori are distinguished by their "ears". While they resemble ears, they are more comparable to a radio antenna. They are used to receive the thoughts of others, allowing a satori to read minds. Satori are often mistaken for various forms of cat youkai for a distance due to the shape and placement of their "ears".

When in heavily populated areas, they often restrict their own abilities to avoid being overwhelmed. As such, a Satori in a city will require height to read many minds at once, or touching their forehead with the intended target.

Their "ears" are sensitive to touch and doing so is liable to make a satori jump. Physically they are among the weakest youkai.

[AtomicNut]

Actually, for those involved in the shrine...

Is it possible for a very desperate man searching for his wallet ending up there wanting to do a divination?

(Even if they can't do one)

[VitaVitaAR]

• Name: Honami Aoi
• Age: 15
• Gender: Female
• Race: Satori
• Appearance: Aoi has pale green hair and matching eyes, with a light skintone. She usually wears white dresses. She's under five feet in height.
• Personality: Aoi is a sweet, sensitive girl. She's well-attuned to the feelings of others do to her fundamental nature as a Satori. The ability to read people, even restricted as it must be due to her surroundings, allows her to more easily understand the feelings of others. She's highly energetic and eats a lot of food(to the point of some questioning where she puts it all given her small size and slim frame), and has a deep affinity for things she finds cute or endearing. Cute children, cats, dogs, birds, even some fish fall within her area of "cuteness". Aoi is also quite friendly and sociable, especially if someone is willing to feed her. Or if they are small and cute. Of course, being smaller then Aoi likely means you're an actual child, or an immortal one, as she's quite small herself. Aoi does not like her "ears" touched by surprise, as they are highly sensitive and doing so is likely to make her jump.
• Abilities: As a Satori, Aoi is capable of reading the minds of others. Due to living in a highly populated area, Aoi's abilities are restricted so she may avoid being overwhelmed. In order to get clear thoughts from a single person, she must touch foreheads with them. In order to read many individuals at once, she must get up to a high location where it's "clearer" and she can cast a larger range. Her maximum range is quite wide, but processing so much information at once is difficult. As such, it's ideal to have some kind of specific information in mind when doing so. As she uses her ear-like "antenna" to read thoughts, anything interfering with them will inhibit their abilities. Satori are barely stronger or faster then a human, and Aoi has no real combat abilities to speak of.
  Satori can also project images to others, but Aoi cannot do so at this time and relies on drawing what she sees if she must convey an image.
  She's a rather terrible artist.
  As a youkai, she is more difficult to kill then a human, but at the same time her durability is lower then most other youkai.
• Skills: Aoi has a rather vast knowledge of food, especially traditional Japanese sweets. An excellent way to tempt her is the use of mochi.
• Equipment: Aoi has no particular equipment.
• Brief Backstory: Aoi was born in the Imaginary District, the youngest daughter of a family of Satori. Unfortunately, when she was very young, nearly her entire family seemed to vanish, both parents and her older brother. The only remaining family members were Aoi herself and her older sister, Masami. As such, from a young age, Aoi was cared for by her older sister. She became increasingly curious about her family as she grew up, but as of now there's still no indication as to what truly happened. Since then, she has decided to work with the Miura Youth Organization and the police department in any way she can utilizing her abilities, in hopes to help people and to discover what happened to her family.

@VitavitaAR I have a slight fear of what might happen if Aoi managed to do mind-reading on a 300+ year old vixen... but that's just me.

(Meanwhile, THE AMOUNT OF CHARACTERS :D)

[VitaVitaAR]

Generally-speaking, given the restrictions to avoid getting overwhelmed, there'd have to be consent there since they need to touch foreheads.

@VitaVitaAR

Yeah I figured... but I did say if it did manage to happen. Be it any kind of circumstance or reason.
I like to overthink and slight theory craft in a way. o__O

[VitaVitaAR]

I mean, it would probably end up a bit crazy if that happened, really.

[Ennui]

Thank you for agreeing with me.

[Raineh Daze]

There are worse minds to read. xD
