Lore question, are the events of Yu Yu Hakusho canon to the RP?

Member Seen 3 yrs ago



Name:
Matsuri Yanagi

Age:
18

Personality:
Sociable, Graceful, Determined, and Guarded

Hobbies:
Fashion, Fiction Novels, Boys

Ambitions:
She plans to see the world and live a quiet life after. She values the peace the town has provided, but has always yearned to see what is outside, but with full intention to come back and live life as a homemaker. Her dreams to travel and see the the world runs parallel to her desire to meet a partner for life and have a family, a dream of small wishes, but big in execution.

Uncertainties:
She fears the stagnation and complacency of life, effects resulting from the tragedies of death, and most of all being robbed of your own will. She also has a deep seated fear of dolls, and other uncanny valley inducing objects. Her level of spirituality is the direct answer to fear of stagnation, high on adaptation, average, abysmally low on strength. In application of her powers she shies away from the front lines, fashioning herself as a sniper/support of sorts using five spears she controls with her mind to attack from a distance.

Canon wise, the events of the series as whole have recently concluded. That said, the canon events don't really have an influence on this plot or region of Japan. The only canon roles that may be seen or mentioned for now are Botan, Genkai and Lord Koenma, as there's no current plans to involve anyone else (canon wise). There are plans for an eventual tourmaline of sorts but whether that is something based on canon or not, has yet to be decided.

What does social mean when compared with cold as personality traits? You just talk to be rude, or...?

@SoleAccordThe design for Matsuri was that she was that pretty sociable girl in that she's easy to get along on the surface and has that natural charisma, easily friends with everyone on the surface level without antagonizing anyone. In hindsight, i probably should have just said Sociable, I'll rewrite that part now.

@ineffable It's okay. Let's see if I can explain it a bit better.

From the first post of the OOC: Spirit awareness allows someone to have a high intuition as to the presence of spirits. Spirit strength allows someone to channel their energy into a force, and it does not matter if someone is physically strong. And spirit adaptation allows someone to morph and use their energy for unique purposes like barriers or physical weapons.

Your character is said to have a weakness in spirituality. By definition of this RP's premise, he can't be weak in all three areas of spirituality. He needs to have proficiency in at least one, if not two areas as explained above (strength, adaptation, intuition).

For example: Your character's physical strength could be used along with spiritual strength. He could use his combat along with spiritual energy to be stronger than most others. If you've seen Naruto it's a little like channeling chakra to one's limb to give an additional boost. But again your character can't go around using normal human combat based strength without applying using spiritual energy too. A normal punch would do nothing to a demon.

Another example: Your character's physical talent could be set aside for another combat skill altogether. Does he have to use his taekwondo? No, it could be just a hobby if say he was more into spiritual intuition or adaptation. Perhaps in a twist, he has no spiritual strength at all, unable to really do anything like he would assume he could normally. Instead he has good adaptation and can be some sort of healer. Or maybe he can create spiderwebs that trap and hinder enemies due to a level of adaption and intuition?

Does that make sense? If you want your guy to be into using his taekwondo, that's fine, just be sure he's got some spiritual strength behind it. Otherwise I do encourage you (and everyone else!) to be creative with applying spirit energy,

@Kassarock Thanks! That helped. :)

@FiroIV Let me know when you've edited~

@Natsu Looks good to me!

@ineffable I think it's finally where it needs to be, thank you!

@FiroIV The issue wasn't the word "social" itself (sociable isn't much of a change in that regard) but that it feels contradictory to the idea of someone being cold. Would another way to describe her be guarded? Or cautious? Or observant? Cold and sociable just seem to oppose one another. It's like someone saying they're friendly but aloof. It doesn't really make sense.

@Emuxe and @ineffable Thank you both so so much for your effort and interest, however it's been decided that we won't be accepting your CS submissions. Once again, we appreciate your understanding and I hope in the future we can write together. Good luck on your other endeavors!

@Natsu and @Kassarock We'd like to accept you both and allow you two to post in the CS tab. Thank you for your patience and welcome to the RP!

@FiroIV As there is still the concern of your character's personality traits being mismatched, we'd like to accept your submission, provided that you fix the personality section as explained above (the whole cold and sociable thing). If you're willing to adjust your CS, please do so and let us know when you have. Should you wish to not edit, then I do thank you for the submission but I hope there is another chance for us to write in the future.

Once again, thank you to everyone who has shown interest and stuck with us during the beginning stages of this RP. I know it's always tough to hang in as the details get ironed out but it'll be well worth it. :)

@GenkaiI'd like to explain and elaborate on the matter if possible. She's sociable in a sense that she is outwardly friendly and polite towards others. She is cold in a sense in that while friendly and nice she is not affectionate and not afraid to burn bridges, nor does she really open up to much of her inner feelings often being more polite and outwardly nice without really mentioning the truth of how she feels. If that's an appropriate justification please let me know, if not I can easily modify it to say that she's sociable and blunt, but i'd like defend the cold part beforehand.

@FiroIV While I do understand that reasoning, I do think another world like 'guarded' or as you said 'blunt' may be a better description for her. She does seem to give off a false image of herself or wear some sort of mask, at least that's what I'm inferring. Is that what you're going for?

As soon as Firo tweaks their CS, and I finish mine, we'll kick things off. Sole is holding off on his since his two roles won't come in until the second arc. I'd like to kick things off by Sun-Mon at the latest.
