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

[Raineh Daze]

Er... you have a vampire hanging around to be the other member of the smallest group possible? xD

[Ennui]

Seems alright.

[AtomicNut]

I'll probably cook something tomorrow. Too busy with visits.

[easy modo]

Thinking I should drop Ayame, because:

1. Not sure if she's really strong enough to fit in with the rest of the policeman "crowd". I feel she's rather on the same boat with the youths with her current power level, and I think I should've planned having her police role way beforehand.

2. I don't think applying for police instantly grants you a, "hey can i be a policeman now" "bam, you have a badge now, go on arrest that man" kind of thing. Especially considering how relatively weak she is, which would make it take too long to formally introduce her as a Police member if there's this training and shit, and as her status as a Moon spy, which would be subject to plenty o' suspicion by whoever will recruit her, so I don't know how she'll fit in once again.

3. Overall lack of ideas due to the aforementioned issues and my mind being blocked by contemplating too much on these.

I do have substitutes: either a Yatagarasu once again, or a Tennin.

(I think my proposed basic lore for both species would be heavenly beings that have descended down for reasons either personal, by crisis, or whatever could apply. Despite some of you thinking contrary (thanks, 東方), the former is still in the heavenly category based on most mythological interpretations, so I assume I'd be playing some sort of Eastern angel regardless of whichever is chosen.)

[Raineh Daze]

Anything actually angelic is kind of unplayable, given the setting.

[easy modo]

If we're probably talking about anything from your typical nine choirs of angels of the Abrahamic religion, then sure.

But I'm sure all things heavenly would still work in the setting if they're from a more Eastern origin. If onis can work here, so can they.

[AtomicNut]

Can always join Ricardo and Ana.

[VitaVitaAR]

@easy modo: All myths are true(though I've done a lot with some of them so it's not just exactly as mythology in the real world says), but Angels, well...

Abrahamic Angels definitely exist and are DEFINITELY not playable. At least not the real ones.

Anyway, um, still holding out hope for more posts.

[easy modo]

Hm, so what's your verdict for a Tennin, then?

(They're angel-like, but they're actually spiritual in nature. I think a better place of origin for them would be the celestial heavens rather than the actual afterlife heaven. Yatagarasus are not really actually angelic, but I think it might be appropriate that they might share the same place with Tennin.)

[VitaVitaAR]

Well... the afterlife is not a subject I directly address at any point including this RP for this setting.

As for Tennin I guess I'd need to know more about what you'd have in mind? Are we talking a race of Tenshis or something?

[easy modo]

Aye, tenshis.

[VitaVitaAR]

Unlimited Tenshi Works seems like it could be rather dangerous.

[easy modo]

But, like many other things in this setting, it could pretty much be toned down.

[VitaVitaAR]

I'd have to see more of what you had in mind, really.

[easy modo]

I'm basically deriving from Buddhist angels. The thing is that they can either be a.) celestial beings descended from the skies, or b.) solitary creatures that may either make their homes on peaks or just roam around. (I find B a better concept here. Could probably have them live on the topmost floor of the tallest building in the District to better fit.)

I might also apply hagoromos here, which are basically simple flying tools for such characters, though it may or may not be necessary.

I'm thinking of probably a bard role for them based on their typical depictions of carrying biwas/flutes around, or kind of a RPG-priestly thing with focus on Buddhist concepts. Or maybe just do a Tenko's Story here. Which would be unlikely and probably work shittily here, so it's likely the former two would be better considered.

idk just basically getting my shit from wikipedia here lmao

[VitaVitaAR]

Option B probably would work out better for this, at least.

[easy modo]

Hm. Then it's probably settled. Might need more from your part, though.

[VitaVitaAR]

Feel free to ask whatever you want.

[easy modo]

Could do while in the creation process.

[VitaVitaAR]

So what do you need?
