So I just posted the small intro to set the stage, but when you all do your opening posts, it will be during school time at lunch break. All of you already have your Mythic Rings and decks, with the innate ability on how to use them in battle, even if your character hasn't consciously acknowledged it, they have some sense of the Battlemage inside of their psyche.

You are free to challenge each other to battles, but I'll be giving the plot direction with my posts, and let you know when its 'story scenario/mission time' If you feel like posting before I do go ahead. Just let me know of all battles taking place so I can make the right arrangements.

@Dynamo Frokane

Wait, so we start off with the rings? How did we get them? Have the characters battled before? How long have the characters had them?

I thought we'd be getting them inside of the RP- not start off with them.

EDIT: Oh, also, how's the formalities going to play into this? Are we going to englishify Japan and call everyone by first name, or will be somewhat true to form and use mostly last names? And should we weeb the heck out and use honorifics?

@Ammokkx

Same.

I am going to the edit, do it Japanese. Since I studied Japanese in College, language and know bit about their culture and customs. I'm going to remain as authentic to Japanese customs as I can.

@AngelofOctober

I mean, I'd like a crash course on how honorifics are generally used to not fuck it up myself if we're doing that. I only have a very rough idea of what to use in which context.

@Ammokkx

Crash course simplified it to make it easy to digest;

Sensei is teacher

Senpai is for upperclassmen usually someone who is peer group mentor figure, so an upperclassman student who is class president or someone who is a student but a mentor figure. But it's sort of formal and respectful

San is formal and less casual then the kun and chan

Where as Kun and Chan are more informal and on a more friendly terms with another individual. Using their last name often with kun and chan

Kun - boy

chan - girl

Exceptions, chan can be used to tease a boy or tease someone in a friendly manner as well.

But if they tell you can drop the honorific you can, and friends usually will call each other by first names. Some will drop honorifics and still call the other by their last names, considered more formal, but casual.

[Ammokkx]

Anyway, I've got school so I'm going to sleep. If anyone wants to bother Kyogi, he'll probably be reading a book in class.

[Spike]

I'll probably mess it up, so I think I'll just skip them if that's alright. Akira can be assumed to be using whatever honoriffics fit the context.

@HeroicSociopath

If you are not friends with the individual, Last name [kun if boy or chan if girl] san is rarely used. As it's seems very formal. I'll probably use san for Yue though because it's so formal and I am going with that weird, super respectful kid.

Senpai [class president, a tutor, a student you look up to]

Not much to mess up

@Dynamo Frokane
Fine then, a greeny blue colour, teal!

@Dynamo Frokane
Actually, no, forget it, no colours at all, blank white, like my soul, a fucking endless extent of nothing... uh, cough...

@HumanMusic

IIRC white is every color combined so that's pretty much the same as rainbow.

@HeroicSociopath

I'll make sure he has an LGBT battlemage then.

@Ammokkx They were delivered in a secret package to you along with your deck roughly a month ago, again its something that feels innate to your character, so they dont think about it or question it too much, once they put the rings on, it felt like that was how it was always supposed to be, as per the effect of the battlemage spirit joining with theirs.

They havent battled before as they are all rank F, but they have the ability to pick it up innately because the battlemages have 'battled' before.

Ehhh dont stress too much over the proper japanese stuff, you can be as strict or as lazy with it as you want, Shibuya isnt expicitly japan anyway, its just an island in that region.

[Dolerman]

@HeroicSociopath I liked your post a lot, but just for future this is casual so please have them a little bit longer :)

@Dynamo Frokane

How long should it be?

[TaroAndSelia]

Spaghetti in the locker room...? *gasp* It's the Noodle Incident!

[Dolerman]

@HeroicSociopath personally I would have made it a meduim sized paragraph longer

EDIT: and your second post is way too short, all posts should be roughly as long as my first and second post for a good measurement.

[Ammokkx]

I'd love to write right now, but I've only got about 40 minutes and haven't gotten ready for school yet. I'll post once I get back in about... 13 hours.
