Ayana


Ayana jumped when the wood splintered behind her. The shattering of that crate was easily the loudest noise to grace these plains in some time, and the newcomer's shout, even more so. The kitsune reflexively put her hands up in a defensive stance and took a few steps back. She could defend herself if she had to, but she would rather leave the situation to more able fighters. Her heart raced as the others approached the stranger. She couldn't say why, but she didn't like the look of the tattoos the man was wearing, nor did she like the fact that what they thought was food was actually another person. She glanced over at Esailia and her tension eased a bit. The Mithra was clearly ready to do her job if they had to. Surely all of them could easily take out one crook.
@The Mad Hatter I second @Halvtand's recommendation of Basilisk. Violent, great animation, and not too long. Some other stuff I recommend:

If you haven't already seen Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, that's always my first recommendation for people getting into anime. It's got great animation, great story, great action, and a good English Dub. If you have a Netflix account, they have the full series there. Make sure you watch Brotherhood, and not the original, though. The original Fullmetal Alchemist is good, but brotherhood is much better.

If you want something weird, check out Paranoia Agent (Mousou Dairinin). It's a psychological thriller that's hard to describe without giving away spoilers, but there are some stand alone episodes that are just amazing. Episode 8 happens to be one of my favorite episodes in all of anime, but only if you enjoy morbid humor. If nothing else, check out that one episode.

My favorite anime of all time is Clannad (and season two, Clannad After story). This holds the distinction of being the only work of fiction to ever make me cry. And we're not talking just getting a little watery-eyed, we're talking full-on tears rolling down my cheeks. Season one is a high school drama, but season two actually continues on after high school, which is really nice to see in an anime.

If you want a superb story-driven anime, check out Guardian of the Ancient Spirit (Seirei no Moribito). The unique thing about this one is that it's got a female protagonist who is 1.) not a magical girl, and 2.) never succumbs to shameless fan service. This anime has an incredible story. The action is sparse, but when it's there, it's awesome.

If you want to see the most fascinating anime villain of all time, check out Monster. Warning, this series is LONG. Like 80+ episodes. But, if you can commit, it's definitely worth it. A brain surgeon chooses to save the life of a child over the life of an important politician because the child was admitted first. This hurts his career, and several years later, the doctor finds out that this child has grown up to be a homicidal sociopath. This anime is definitely character driven and revolves around what makes the villain tick.

Looking for sci-fi? Watch Steins;Gate. It's one of the few depictions of time travel that gets it right. No illogical time paradoxes here. It's clever, suspenseful, and has fantastic characters. Check it out.

And, if you're just looking for people beating the shit out of each other, check out Hajime no Ippo. It's boxing. It's good. It's ongoing.

When you've exhausted these, I've got plenty more for you, but I don't wanna overwhelm you.
@LordVoldemort Perhaps they already know each other a bit? Seems like farmers and fishermen would be on good terms in a village like this. I'd say that if anything, they'd be acquaintances since Megumi would be devoting most of her time to her ninja training.
@The Mad Hatter Glad you liked it so far. I just read the post with Natsu's Megumi, and I think my straight-laced character sharing the name of a prostitute that will presumably be a part of the story will leave plenty of room for hilarity to ensue. I would not want to squander that opportunity. And she won't hold a grudge against all Konoha ninja, especially not ones she knows probably had literally nothing to do with her father's death. She's proud, but she not a vengeful Uchiha, haha.
Finally got my profile done. Hope you ACCEPT it.


@ReusableSword Okay, looks good now. You can post it in the characters tab and start posting.

Everyone else, I had a really long day at work, and won't be posting here today. Look for my next post Monday.
@ReusableSword Looks mostly good. I like the story. There's a couple things with the curse, though. Not needing to eat, drink, or sleep trivializes many of the survival elements of this RP. I'm going to have to say no to that. Being slightly stronger than a normal human is fine, just make sure he doesn't go punching any boulders around. You mention that there is a demon bound to him, but you're a bit vague about what that actually means. Does the demon come out? Does he transform into it? I think a full-on demonic transformation is a bit much for the RP, whether he's controllable or not. If it's just a voice in his head, that's fine.
Definitely interested. I'll be working on a character for this.
@NagariinJust a quick correction. The party has not arrived at the mountains yet. They're still a half-day walk away.
