Boundary's Edge -- An Urban Fantasy RP

Name: Amazawa Ren
Age: 20
Race: Human
Appearance: "Can't you go any faster...?"
Abilities: Zilch. He's just an average college student. If it counts for anything, he reads a lot and reads fast, and is quick to notice and react to things at the drop of a hat. Ren can also memorize things relatively quickly, though he often sticks by what he knows best.
Equipment: Clothes. A phone. Earbuds. A backpack with books and a laptop. The usual.
Personality: Ren's slightly impatient when it comes to doing things, whether that means going somewhere early to meet a friend or handling problems before they become problems (or, occasionally, doing things too quickly and making mistakes he could've overlooked in the process). Though he has long since tempered it down from what it used to be, remnants of that impatience do remain. Though he's not the most physically adept person, he's also not willing to back down if push comes to shove--if necessary, he'll stand his ground (or, rather, dart around) until the job is done. Unlike what this somewhat hotheaded behavior would imply, Ren is smart enough to exploit whatever weaknesses he can or call out friends for their own shortcomings. He's kind of blunt about it on occasion, though, which may grate some peoples' nerves.
History: Ren grew up in the suburbs of the city, living a relatively stable life with his parents and grandparents. His early childhood was spent with him buried in books, mainly because of a broken leg following an accident with a speeding bicycle. Once he began to read, he didn't stop--though he did exercise and whatnot whenever necessary, for the most part his time was spent either doing that, listening to music, or playing games. Sliding through high school and into college without much fanfare, Ren's life is probably just another one out of the many who live within the city.
Other: Is good at fighting games, rhythm games, and action games (mainly those with good stories, but he can live without).

Boundary's Edge -- An Urban Fantasy RP

@Kidd: Let's see...

Well, I actually kinda wanna say that given the story of the bakeneko in general, electricity shouldn't be a focus (if at all). The raijuu hanyou presented here now makes more sense in context of abilities, so I think electricity should be changed to something more... I dunno, in-line with what a bakeneko would be able to do? The shapeshifting is good, though, so more focus should be placed on that, I think.

@VitaVitaAR: Seems okay to me. Accepted.

Speaking of forms...

Edit: The answer to that question is yes.

Boundary's Edge -- An Urban Fantasy RP (Interest Check)

@VitaVitaAR@Kidd@GreenGoat@MechonRaptor: Since I've hit my target, here you are.

Boundary's Edge -- An Urban Fantasy RP

A city like any other.
With people like any other.
This is Yuzoraku City, located on the coast of Chiba Prefecture, Japan. Alive and bustling, the residents who live here do not have any special quirks--they are people, and nothing more.

Or, well, that's how it would seem to be.

Centuries prior, back before the rise of industry or of technology, those beings known as 'youkai' lived among the people. Their home, a world parallel to our own, was connected to this one. Travel was common, and familiarity was commonplace--though most relationships were business-related, if at all, the two worlds acted as if they were two sides of the same coin: separate, but unseparable.

This coexistence broke, however, upon the rise of technology. While many humans embraced that which gave them strength, the youkai were divided in their opinion. Should they remain among these humans, whose unpredictability knew no bounds? Or cut themselves off from their counterpart, forever remaining within their own world?

Unable to come to a unanimous conclusion, the youkai split and fractured--those who wished for the former hid themselves within society, masking their true nature and integrating themselves into that which would become familiar, while the rest remained within their world and lived on there, sealed away under barrier after barrier.

This incident was, ironically enough, what spared 'this' world from the calamity that befell the youkai soon after. A mysterious illness soon swept through 'that' world, corrupting its inhabitants, regardless of if they were human, youkai, or otherwise.

Luckily, with the only way to break the seal being on 'this' side, that illness never crossed over to affect the residents 'here', who remained none the wiser.

The seal within Yuzoraku City, however, is fraying, and most of the residents are none the wiser. With this past having been long since lost to the world and those from the 'other' side slowly finding their way into this world, it is only a matter of time before all hell breaks loose.

Unless it can be stopped, that is.

---

So... This is an RP inspired by a variety things, but takes particular influence from the Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha games, Bloodborne, Persona 3/4, and Monster Hunter. In essence, the players will be taking up 'missions' to accomplish within this "other world", which itself mimics the city that they live in. All of the player characters within the scope of the RP should be relatively low power at the start, but should gain more strength as the story progresses. More information will be revealed as more problems are handled, but otherwise characters shouldn't know much about the situation at all. Since things are mission based, though I'm gonna be tossing around control of sections at I see fit and will be taking suggestions for future incidents.

As this is an interest check at the moment, I'm gonna just feel around for people who'd like to join this right now.

I think I'll push an actual thread up after maybe... 4, 5 other people throw their hats into the ring?

Fate/ Transcendent Paradigm (A Fate/GO Based RP)

@Beloss: Yeah, dw about it I'll handle the results of any attacks.

And... Well, I guess this delay means that I have more time to plan for the future.

Multiverse Chronicles: A Crossover RP

@PaulHaynek: Yes.

I Was Summoned to A God's Office and his Secretary Transported Me to Another World?! (Accepting!)

@ACHTUNG: Early to mid, more like, but magic has taken more precedence over science as the default method for achieving stuff. No guns, though. Yet.
