Join the Occult Club! Come discuss the supernatural with like-minded people, and have a great time!
Room 2-A, 3:30-4:30, Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Free snacks will be served!
Also join us for our Halloween Extravaganza this Tuesday; stop by a club meeting for details!

Yurei High School, a public academic institution in modern-day Japan. As of today, Thursday the 26th of October, the formerly-disbanded Occult Club has been re-founded. All students are welcome to join! Oh, and those rumors about the club president blackmailing people into joining? Um...we refuse to comment on that.

Do be careful if you stop by the Halloween Extravaganza, though. Rumor has it that something prowls the school campus at night. Well, not so much "rumors" as "the fervent proclamations of the club president". She's been talking about ridiculous things like that, as well as about the "magitech artifacts" that she's discovered and created to fight off the supernatural.

The club president sure is a character, isn't she?

"Well, thanks for tuning in! This has been today's Yurei High news bulletin. Have a great Tuesday, everyone! I'm Shishigou Chiyo, signing off!"



This is a roleplay meant to incorporate generic anime shenanigans and lighthearted character interaction/humor with some more supernatural elements and a pinch of eldritch horror later on. Characters will be students, faculty, or something of the like at Yurei High who, through one means or another, get involved in the activities of the occult club. Whether an enthusiastic club member, a delinquent who's roaming the school at night, or a tyrannical student council president who finds herself blackmailed by the club president, or a hardline empiricist who's just here to laugh at the idiots, you will find yourselves somehow brought into the president's eccentric fantasies.

Of course, when night falls over the school...you might find that those eccentricies were better placed than you once thought.

Be careful out there. Spooks are about.

Bruh, you got fabulous timing for getting this up. My internet just decided to finally co-operate xD

Anyways, I think you may be familiar with my CS already, but do tell if there are any changes that I should make.

Name: Zane Wulf

Gender: Male

Age: 17

Appearance:


Personality: Most people just see Zane as the attack dog for the disciplinary committee, but behind the gruff exterior lies a much softer side. He is a history otaku with a love for the classical era. The tales of heroes were what led him to have such a strong sense of justice, although he often takes things too far leading to a terrifying reputation. To add on to this, he has trouble communicating with others, often giving short, curt, responses that lead to further problems. Though he is sceptical of the supernatural, he is heavily interested in folklore and in exploring traditions usually forgotten by the ever advancing world.

History: The son of a swordsman clan, Zane has been trained from an early age in swordmanship. Though his interests lie away from swordfighting, he keeps it up out of respect for his family. He always had trouble communicating what he was feeling, so his parents believed he wanted to be a swordsman.
One day, as he was walking home from school, he witnessed one of his classmates being assaulted by delinquents. Drawing his practice sword, he took down the thugs with relative ease. Word spread through the school, and the disciplinary committee recruited him into their ranks.
At the start of his second year, one of his classmate dragged him into the occult society's room on a dare. The classmate fled quickly from the spooky atmosphere, but Zane, due to his knowledge of history, was enthralled by the folklore of the place. He decided to join the club and see what it had to offer.

Skills: A regional-level swordsman. His fighting school is known as the Thousand Blades, and is based around controlling the flow of battle by rapidly switching weapons and stances to keep the opponent off their rhythm. Though he only allowed to carry wooden swords, it still strikes fear into the hearts of his fellow students when he unsheathes his blades. He has an affinity for the study of history, and is proficient in reading Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.

Other: Scared of spiders

Good to go. <Shocking>, I know.

@Ryteb Pymeroce
Um.

So, uh, why did he join the occult club exactly? Also a bit more fleshing out on the personality would be nice. It's fine that he's learned swordsmanship and stuff, but a fifteen year old isn't going to be some kind of godlike combatant. At best I'll allow like a "could win a regional tournament" tier. Basically don't treat this like a shounen manga. Speaking of which:

user of the thousand swords style

I'd have liked it if you waited for me to mention you before you went ahead and started approving/disapproving people.

People, Sonata. Sonata, people. Some of you probably noticed her stalking the int check. She'll be your Co-GM for when I'm busy.

Looks good, but a question: what kinds of conflict may occur in this? Like social, directly combative, indirect etc.

If you want to punch a student, punch a student, but you'll probably get in trouble.

If you want to gossip about a student, feel free, but you're kinda mean then.

If you want to punch a ghost, I mean, you might want to do more research since punching's usually ineffective against ghosts.

Basically, any sort of "conflict" is allowed, but will be subject to reason. The main source that I'll be providing will be PvE with regards to ghosts, but of course, not every ghost should be called an "enemy".

@Moonlit Sonata A sword style based around swapping swords mid combat to mess up your opponents rhythm.

I'll get back to you when I make the changes. Either before or after I pass out.

Sounds good and reasonable. I'll give this a shot, provided I can think of my character.

As long as there's some rationale for their involvement with the Occult Club, yes.

Tonight's a bit packed for me, so I'll be letting Sonata handle character approvals for a spell.

Some more work on the personality and biography would be nice. I'd recommend looking at the other sheets to help flesh out what sort of thing we're more looking for on the character design process.

@Pleek @Mercurial @ZeroCuero

Are those with approval allowed to post their character sheets to the character section?
