"Salarymen" is a humorous action fantasy involving The Company, an organization that sells paper on the surface, but in reality operate as a clandestine group of Onmyo Exorcists who banish ghosts, exorcise demons, and if the situation demands it, kill humans. The setting is a near-future Shinjuku, Japan; around 2032.
You can choose any position in The Company EXCEPT Chairman, CEO, or Director.
The Company is engaging in their mysterious "Reform Program", taking criminals slated for incarceration or death and giving them a chance at freedom. The Reform Program has an incredibly high mortality rate, with only two men having completed it. The first of these two men is the current CEO.
To beat back the dark, Employees are given a talisman in the form of an accessory or tattoo, which then supercharges the wielder's *Ki and equips their *Uniform.
~KEY TERMS~
*KI: The energy of the Mortal, Astral, and Void Planes. Grants life and spiritual power to all things living, dead, and in-between. All humans can use Ki, but only the truly talented can use it for combat purposes such as Exorcism.
*UNIFORM: When activated by a person with substantial Ki, mystical articles of clothing will replace the wielder's original clothes. Uniforms shield the wielder from all damage from the Mortal Realm and reduces damage from the Void and Astral Planes. Uniforms are unique in form and function to each wielder.
A person's Ki can manifest itself however you choose; however certain NPCs are going to outrank and outmuscle you, so be aware of the overarching narrative and try to be creative without being overpowered. An example character, my OC, will be posted in the thread.
