The island of Shizuyama has always resisted the yokai.

While the rest of Zipangu placated or even worshipped the monsters, the people of Shizuyama defied them. Our ancestors drove the yokai off the island many ages ago and established a haven for humans to live in, a land to call their own without the presence of a monster looming over them, a home where they could truly be free.

This had been so for Shizuyama since time immemorial, even after The Great Change. Even when alliances shifted and the lands around them remade, the island stood by its traditions. Unwavering and unbreakable.

But now, a fleet of war sails from the horizon. And with them, a challenge that will shake the traditions that Shizuyama holds dear.

------




Ruled by Clan Oja, the island of Shizuyama is one of the few islands in Zipangu that wholly rejects yokai. Ever since its founding, Shizuyama boasts of having no trace of yokai its land for thousands of years. Known for specializing in repelling yokai and monsters, Shizuyama upholds these traditions by training its most talented and skilled people into effective anti-monster warriors and agents who will then be lent out to any allies that need such services.

After the Great Change, however, their effectiveness had waned considerably. Even so, Shizuyama still has their reputation intact and no yokai had stepped foot on the island even today.

As an anti-monster faction, Clan Oja and Shizuyama has maintained relations with The Order, a religious organization spanning most of humanity that also rejects monsters, for many generations. But recently, The Order and its members are embroiled in a decade-long war with a breakaway human kingdom known as Ortus and their pure Dwarven allies.

Representatives from Varjo, a dark and wicked kingdom but still a member of The Order, had been making frequent visits to Shizuyama as of late. Lady Kyouko, a Ryu yokai who is oddly fixated on Shizuyama after establishing herself on a small island called Akamagaseki, has grown very worried at this prospect and has hastily put together a team to investigate the reasons for these visits and help out Shizuyama if trouble arises.

And time is of the essence, for the Varjan representatives this time had now come with a large fleet armed for war.

I've put together a CS and tried to adapt this pirate dragon girl I've hold on to for ages to this RP. If things make no sense to the setting, I'll gladly revise the faulty parts.

Fresh from the bakery! Please, eat up~!



*Shogbakery is not responsible or held reliable from conditions rising from eating their cakes including but not limited to growing eyes on ones brain, understanding just how small you are to the universe, seeing that which should not be seen and unbidden visages of sexy shoggoth. If you experience dreams of shoggoth lasting more than five hours please return to the bakery and consult a shog specialist to help.

Having read through the entries of the few I was considering, I think I'm gonna have to withdraw interest in this. I don't think I could play them well, personally. I wish you all luck and hope you have fun with the RP though!

@PaulHaynek Here we are. Didn't really change anything aside from leaving her former master still alive and having pinned the blame on her.

Tentacular fun-times await.
Oh, but you might wanna fix that bit in her background that says Kyouko's an inari. In this time-line, Kyouko's a ryu. Yup, growth-spurts are weird. :o

Now to plot how to get the maid and the pirate to meet in a secluded area and spy on them from some bushes while... Things... unfold... Mee-hee-hee-hee-hee~

Sorry for the wait, here's what I finally decided on... At least for my first character! Mwahahahaha~! [sub][sub][sub]Oh, god the pressure! The indecision! Ack, argh... I'm-a hurl...!



Name: Louise Gallante

Race: Banshee (Succubus Family subspecies)

Magic/Abilities/Equipment:
Upper Undead: Banshee's are counted among the upper ranks of undead, and as such, have many inherent and natural boons. Low-light and darkvision, the ability to sense the living, regeneration, no need for food or water (in the traditonal sense) along with immunity and absorption of the Dark-element, as well as immunity to poison, disease, suffocation, etc. They also possess resistance to cold and ice, but are vulnerable to the Fire and hHoly-elements. Also, contrary to popular beliefs, banshee cannot fly nor pass through solid material.

Banshee's Wail: Some say that the scream or cry of a Banshee can kill whoever hears it, and in days gone past,, that may very wel have been true. However, after the Great Change, a banshee's shriek only renders those who hear it unconscious, paralyzed or stunned, depending on how close to her they are when she cries out. It should also be noted that a banshee who weeps above a corpse has the power to resurrect it, albeit as an undead, and this is an irreversible change.

Holy Herald: Louise used to be a High Priestess, and had received training, tutelage and all the corresponding knowledge that is required for such a position. As such, she's an extremely powerful Holy-element user, who can wield the sacred power of the light to both heal and help her friends, or harm and smite her enemies. Healing wounds, curing ailments, bestowing blessings of temporary strength, or just calling down a divine column of holy wrath to burn away wicked things, this former Holy Maiden is a force to be reckoned with!

Vestments of the Fallen Saint: Along with herself, Louise's garments also transformed when she was changed into a banshee. Although weakened by the change, they still retain some of their former enchantments and power. In particular, they grant the wearer resistance to all forms of Dark magic (an ironically unnecessary boon in her current state), resistance to Light or Holy magic (to a lesser extent), as well as a (now) very minor resistance to the four primary elements. Also, for some reason, the leotard-like torso-portion of her attire seems to become more transparent and see-through the more light shines on it... Louise has no idea why this is.

Scepter of the Sacred Hand: Louise carries with her a staff-like scepter, which most likely was something she received back when she was still human. It is an ornate and pretty thing, and unlike her clothes did not undergo any transformation along with its wielder. It serves as a foci for any spells Louise casts, as well as her only means of self-defense should anyone engage her in close quarters. Unfortunately, being a priestess doesn't exactly involve close combat-training or melee-drills, so you shouldn't expect much of her in this department... Even if she's much stronger, faster and tougher now than she could ever hope to be as a human.

Personality:
Luouise is a kind-hearted, gentle and caring soul who dislikes violence and hates needless bloodshed, though she also knows that sometimes confrontations are unavoidable. She's generous, selfless and both very patient and forgiving - almost to a fault at times. That said, she isn't a pushover or a coward, and she'll stand her ground bravely to protect that and those she cares for or believes deserve it.

After becoming an undead, her feelings and emotions have become much more muted and vague. Sometimes she can seem aloof, seemingly gazing off into the distance with a thousand-yard stare and a placid, expressionless face. That said, she can still feel the full range of emotions that anyone else can, of course, just not as strongly or passionately. Except for grief and sorrow, which seems to come more easily to her now... Which often results in her crying. A lot. Some might even call her a crybaby, because sometimes she seems to start weeping and sobbing for no good reason.

Beyond her power and abilities as a holy caster, Louise is surprisingly clumbsy and a bit of a klutz. She'll sometimes walk into obstacles, trip over things, others or herself, drop things at inopportune times and so on. She's also quite bashful and gets both shy and embarrassed when things of a raunchy nature are brought up, performed infront of her or, gods forbid, done to her.

She also really, really likes cute things, like small animals, stuffed toys, flowers and (well-behaved) children. The banshee is also prone to making terrible puns or awful jokes, which she herself seems to find very amusing and will often end up giggling profusely at... In a strangely cute dead-pan sort of way...

Background:
Louise Gallante was born a fair bit of time ago, in a land called Lacourl. She doesn't like speaking of her past much more than taht, saying only that she had a rather strict upbringing that involved a lot of religion. She travelled a lot after her studies and training was complete, aiding the needy and helping those who suffered as best she could.

However, after years of wandering and seeing the pain and misery that humanity brought upon itself and others, she slowly became more and more disillusioned with her faith and her purpose. And, after a particularly gruesome incident, which she refuses to speak of, she underwent a complete monsterization, turning into the banshee shhe is today.

She came to Lady Kyouko's aid, after having learned about the imminent invasion by the forces of Varjo. How or where she learned about this is a mystery, but it is likely she overheard it while traversing Zipangu, or perhaps while on the coast of the western continent. Regardless, she's taken it upon herself to come and lend herself to Shizuyama and the ryuu.

"Hello, nice to meet you, I'm Louise Galleate. I hope we can g-- Eep! ... Ow, ow, ow~! I-I'm sorry, I didn't see that stool there... Uhm... I hope we'll get along."
