Ahh, I see.

It would be set in a fairly modern world but a somewhat rural Japanese setting so the town itself would be fairly quiet and secluded. I would say think technology more akin to the late 90s than the modern 2017 era. Our characters would be allowed back because of clerical error. Our characters weren't technically scheduled to die when they were murdered so there's no real place for us. On top of that our characters should have some spiritual awareness. Japan does rely on folklore and has strong spiritual beliefs so it does stand to reason in such a small town, our characters do respect that aspect of history. Weapons themselves will vary from character to character. Some characters could use something as basic as a baseball bat and have it modified to channel their spiritual energy for greater impact. Other characters might be able to make swords or shields or whips out of spiritual energy. Other characters might infuse their energy to things like yoyos or flowers or even a musical instrument. I want people to be creative with how someone could defend themselves in most situations without calling much attention to themselves.

Does that help~?
