Realized my preference for RP is a casual posting rate, but advanced-level initiative and agency in players and participation, so trying out my usual preference for anime hijinks and urban fantasy here.



The site of this RP will take place in a fictional US city where one of the main North American demon slayer branches resides and will be a mix of monster-of-the-week and hopefully some player-generated intrigue/activities along with GM-generated nonsense. To that end, I’ll likely allow both demon slayer characters and demon characters as well, with the caveat that if you create a demon character you’ll need to find some way to associate with the demon slayers (who are more than open to demon informants and allies even if some of them would really rather not rely on such means) or be in direct opposition to them such that you often meet them directly. Players can be Pillars and Pillar specialties (Wind Pillar, Water Pillar, etc.) can be duplicated across different branches, but per branch there can only be one pillar of each specialty as the designation implies the character is “the best” at that specialty within the known slayers of that branch. Players cannot be one of the 12 Moons or the general-equivalent demons that serve the 12 Moons directly.

PvP will be left to the players’ discretion and GMs will only interfere to clarify how certain powers might work against each other. It’s recommended that players work out some way for involved characters to reach a stalemate in the fight and somehow disengage, unless a player doesn’t mind killing off a character.

Multiple characters are allowed, but beyond 2 per person, please confirm with me before creating so I can see if I’m able to manage that many or not.

As mentioned the rate of posting is casual with no hard rate (1 or 2 posts a month is perhaps a soft minimum), so I’m not concerned with how long a post is so long as it covers everything that needs to be covered with as much flair as the player wants to put in. I highly don’t recommend the practice of excessively padding posts because you feel a certain word count is expected, because there isn’t a minimum requirement. Filling out what a character would do, say, and think is normally a hefty post as is.

What is “advanced” to me is the player initiative and reasonableness in taking theme- and tone-appropriate actions that are within the range (even the outer range) of their character’s inclinations.

Conversations should be compiled into a collab post to avoid one-line back-and-forths IC and I leave it to the player to decide if a conversation can just be summarized by one player’s post if the interaction has nothing particular in its details to warrant a full collab.

Discord will be mandatory.

That’s the general list of the game’s ideas and overall expectations of players. If there’s enough interest (probably five to seven people at a minimum) I’ll flesh out an OOC within a week or two.

I have a feeling you are about to be flooded by interested individuals, though on that note I would like to say... FIRST!

Also, do you have an idea of what State this fictional city will be set in?

@Dusty Hah, I admire your optimism! But it would likely be a West or East coast state. I’m still bouncing between New York or Cali.

Not an advanced writer, but quite interested in the story and subject matter.

@KillBox Writing style/length is less important to me than player initiative and ability to mesh cohesively with the narrative and other players, so please don’t feel intimidated by the subjective categorization.

Since there’s roughly enough interest, I’ll work on the OOC. Expect it up within two weeks, if not sooner.

I’m still working on the OOC, thanks for the interest!

Edit for delay notice. Busier than I expected, so give me a few more days.

@wolverbells Oh, I didn’t think people were still interested since I ended up swamped with backlogged work after the holidays anyway, which didn’t let up as Chinese New Year slid along. Since it’d been so long since I updated, I figured interest was gone. I’m still planning to play this with a friend, though, so I did intend to finish it out later on as a 1x1 at least.

Since you’re still interested I’ll ping you whenever I finally get the time to suck some air into my lungs.

I would be down for some demon slayer action as well! If you do decide to do it for a group setting when you have more time! :)

Okay, now that life's settled down, I am still interested in this--likely to no avail but we'll see. If anyone's left who's interested, let me know, but this is also open to new interests as well. Interest check has been updated with more info and will likely not change much between now and the OOC. Any questions can be asked here and if it's something important I missed I'll add it to the info before opening the OOC proper.
