[quote]You mention the shonen action thing so can assume there would be a fair amount of combat, but would there be some kind of central story for the players to move towards? Or more of a free roam type thing, making your own characters story? Or something of the two? Seems like you want plenty of character development as a focus as well but not sure if that other stuff just flew over her head, heh.[/quote]

There is definitely a central story, and side-plots can be discussed as a priority as well. It however in it's current mode is not a sandbox, though.

[quote]Now, some random character questions. Would witches be something that exist in this world?[/quote]

Yes.
