Whispers in the Dark




Overview:

Thousands of souls coexist in a modestly sized town in rural Japan. Four strangers attending the local high school have their own aspirations and dreams. Some wish to leave town upon graduation while others simply want to settle down and start a family, content to continue to live a low-key life. And yet fate has delivered these four strangers, an unexpected opportunity. While these four high schoolers are at school, a fire starts and claims their four lives. Before their families and friends can mourn, these four people find themselves floating above, watching the flames consume the school.

Somehow death was only the beginning...

These four souls have a chance to return to the land of the living. As ghosts they will be put through a trial to test their spiritual awareness and strength. When these four accept their new job as detectives, they are given a new life to lead. Once back in their restored bodies, they are given cases to investigate supernatural occurrences in the area. The four detectives engage in battles against demons and spirits, solving murders, disappearances and other problems that find humans and demons at odds with one another.


Details:

This is a RP based off of Yu Yu Hakusho. Basically our characters die, go through a trial and come back to be detectives of their own town.

The co-GM is SoleAccord.

We need 1-2 more players for this.

This will be a slice of life story with an emphasis on following cases, much like chapters of a story, they will be fairly contained.

The characters should be 17-18 years old.

I am unsure if I want to require anime pictures or real life images. Should you express interest, please let me know which you'd prefer.

A post should come once every 8-10 days and should be about 4W paragraphs.

Colour me interested!

Also I honestly have no preference for character images; I tend to use artwork over anything else.

@Emuxe I see, thanks for the examples. I would certainly classify that as 'anime' art than say a picture of Emma Watson. So if you are on board, I'm thinking you'd like to play a badass female or something along those lines?

I do have another possible player in the ADV Section so I could get the OOC up tonight for us to all converge there.

@Natsu A full description? I'm not sure I follow. I laid out the basic premise in the post and there isn't much else to explain. Our characters are killed, they are given a second chance at life provided they train to be spirit detectives once they return to the land of the living. From there we've got cases much like chapters/arcs of a novel. If you've got any concern or confusion I'd be happy to try and help. Buuuut there isn't much else aside from that, I try to keep things as basic as possible for the start of RPs.

@Emuxe Ha, I could tell. XD

Perhaps he meant world-building kind of stuff? Like say... what time it's set in (is it modern, post-modern, set in older times), why our characters are allowed to come back? What kind of weapons and such are allowed?

Stuff like that, maybe.

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~?

That clears up a lot, the only other thing I was wondering about was if you had an idea about where you want the first couple (Or at least the very first) arcs are gonna be about.
If you'll have me, I think I'd like to join. I loved Yu Yu Hakusho growing up

I would say the first arc would either cover children disappearing in the woods every couple of nights or it would be some kind of theft issue in terms of items vanishing, I still need to run ideas by my co-GM.
