You’ve always experienced odd things. An inexplicable sense of dread, the feeling of being watched when alone. And misfortunes may have consistently happened around you, or to you, as if you were being targeted. You may brush it off as mere superstition and coincidence, you may look deeper into it, or you may wonder if there’s something wrong with you.

There isn’t. The odd happenings aren’t your fault; rather, by responding to the hidden presence of another entity, you’ve alerted them to your ability to sense them.

Onryo, the spirits of those wronged in life, unable to find peace. The longer they remain bound to Earth, the more their stability wanes and the more their anguish consumes them. Most living people can’t see or sense them, but can still be harmed by the onryo’s grudge. Such a malevolent spirit lashes out at the living by cursing them, or causing disasters. Merely getting back at the one who wronged them in life rarely satisfies them, and these lingering regrets will continue to wreak destruction until put to rest.

This duty falls to you. You have been lucky enough to draw the attention of a more benevolent spirit, a tsukumogami. An object of 100 years old or over may acquire a soul, hence sentience, and gain the ability to bond with a mortal who has such potential. When their abilities combine, the human gains their true power, becoming a hunter.



Lore:










So, here's the premise in a nutshell. In the fictional Japanese coastal city of Agawa, you'll be playing fairly new hunters, battling the spirits of the restless dead, granting them their final repose. All the while, you'll be balancing your new secret lives with your mundane ones. You'll have to learn to work together and hone your abilities, to take on the growing threat ahead.

Now for the boring stuff...



Rules:


1) Be respectful of each other. If conflict comes up OOC, please resolve it in a civil way.

2) Please be involved in the RP. You can play a shy, introverted or misanthropic character if you want, just make sure they interact with others if only for practical reasons. Some onryo are much too powerful to take down alone.

3) Due to the nature of the premise, dark themes like suicide, abuse and murder will come up. Please treat such issues with due sensitivity, and let us know if something’s making you uncomfortable.

4) You may have up to two characters. Note that although this RP is magical girl inspired and ultimately hopeful, character death is a possibility. If you decide to kill one off or otherwise write them out, you can bring in another.

5) I’m not too fussy about post length, and quality is much more important than quantity. That said, please try to write at least a decent sized paragraph, to give people plenty to work with.

6) Please be active both IC and OOC. Try to post at least once every 1-2 weeks if you can, and if something comes up, let us know. On a related note…

7) No ghosting, if you’ll excuse the pun. I know it’s far from easy to say if you’re unwilling/unable to be part of an RP any more, but we’d much, much prefer it if you said something rather than just disappearing.

8) To prove you read the rules, mention the last anime you watched somewhere in your application post.

9) Most importantly, have fun!

Color me interested. I've been binge watching docudramas about haunting and I'm 100% in the mood for something like this. What kind of Tsukumogami would you reckon be associated with general telekinetic abilities?

@Wayward Hmm I heard of a scroll tsukumogami associated with wisdom, the Kyobun-sensei. That'd be a good fit for psychic stuff.

@Scribe of Thoth Nice! Ungaikyo, one of the classic tsukumogami. Looking forward to seeing what everyone picks!

Ooh, this sounds like fun! And admittedly, I already went through the tsukumogami from your link and picked ones that interested me the most, so....Guess I'm in on this. xD Right now, I'm between a Bakefurugeta (a tsukumogami that inhabits wooden clogs, which is kinda lame, but also makes me like it in a sense. Probably a really simplistic ability, like making their legs really strong for kicks and jumps and the like), or a Furu-Utsubo (which inhabits the quiver of a slain archer, usually ones who died tragically; obvious bow-related powers are obvious lol).

...Though I also have the Boroboroton, a tsukumogami that possesses a futon. Because I'd be lying if that wouldn't be hilarious to work around, though coming up with a power is another thing entirely for that...

Oh! Also, anime, yes. I haven't seen much lately, so I guess the most recent would be Shadowverse Flame, a card game anime.

@Stylobilly Looks good! Keytana, I like it, and I'm going to guess the bit about Salaryman's Club is your mention of the last anime you watched? Accepted, feel free to move him over to the Characters section!

@Mintz Welcome on board! Yep clogs would be fine, anime is great for taking stuff that sounds lame and making it epic.

Hunter

Name: Xiahou Chong

Age: 17

Gender:

Regular Appearance:


Transformed Appearance:


Abilities:

Xiahou Chong is directly related to warlords from Ancient China. Mainly from the Xiahou and Cao clans. His powers are inherited from both of the clans, but for the purpose of this post I am going to name 2 which he uses as he has a Tsukumogami.

Just a slippery paper: He can tear a cloth place it on the ground. When it touches the ground, it become slippery. When an onryo steps on it, they can fall and either die or get injured. This gives him an advantage over the onryo.

Wrap and ablaze: He can summon rolls of cloth from underneath his wrist so he can wrap it around the mouths of onryo. The cloth will start to burn the onryo if he commanded it.

Personality: A kind and intelligent induvial blessed with foresight which means things go his way, but not always. The heavens put limits on him on which he can control and cannot control. He is also calm and cool when people argue, or find little crack in his plans, but has tricks of his own to fills those cracks in. He can also use other people statements against them and make them look silly with a twist of his own arguments. He also believes in helping people when they cannot be helped. Where his ancestors used force and ambition, he uses benevolence to earn the trust of the people, and this fuels his ambition to rid the world of evil spirits.

History: A direct descendent of Cao clans and Xiahou clans dating back to ancient china, when the Imperial Han Court and the rest of China was in a state of chaos. Xiahou Chong was originally from Cao clan, but his grandma was adopted by the Xiahou clan. His mother came to Japan to seek a singing career, as she knew and spoke Japanese fluently. She later married a Owner of a Host Club. A striking beautiful baby boy was born. His mother names him Xiahou Chong, in respect of Cao Cao's youngest son, Cao Chong. As he grew up, he was haunted by onryo back from ancient china. They hurt him, cursed his family and said that heaven wouldn't accept him. When he told his parents, his father didn't believe a word, but his mother did. She booked him a ticket back to their hometown Hefei, Anhui Province. He stayed there until he was 17 and was proficient in Taoism. When he came to Japan, an Ittan-Momen looked down at him and decided to kill him by wrapping around his face. Xiahou Chong sensed it's presence and grabbed it exerting great force. The Tsukumogami knew it was no match and decided to serve Xiahou Chong. They made a pact together, which now will never break and passed on to future generations.

Likes:
His family, mostly his cousins who he visits him on the weekends.
Ice cream
Has a soft spot for children and animals as well as the elderly

Dislikes:
Trouble makers
Gangs
Urban Legends

Fears:
He fears for his parents. He hopes that the spirits that haunt him does not haunt or harm his parents or worse.

Other: Fights with a his family heirloom, Cao Cao's sword and 7 Star Dagger which is in pristine condition. Cao Cao nearly used the dagger on Dong Zhou, but failed and fled Luoyang.

Tsukumogami

Name: Ittan-Momen

Item: Roll of cotton

Appearance:


Personality: Cunning, playful, mischievous, and insightful.

Other: not only this type can suffocate it's prey, it can also set itself on fire, burning it's target if it gets angry. It only obeys Xiahou Chong, as Xiahou Chong is bright, ambitious as well as intellectual.

anime: In/Spectre

@Ice Reaver Looks like a good backstory, although a hunter's powers mostly stem from their bound tsukumogami, the only supernatural ability he would innately have would be to sense spirits. His combat abilities would be something to do with fabric rather than ice. Also, read over the rules for something you forgot to mention, which admittedly is easy to overlook when you're focused on making a CS.

@Ice Reaver Yep that works better thematically. Just gonna say onryo are pretty tough, and it's unlikely one would die just from falling unless they were significantly weakened, but if he made one slip over, it'd still give him the upper hand. Consider him accepted!

I don’t know that I would consider myself a fan. I only watched two episodes and still haven’t finished it. xD

I watched for research for an RP.
