Hi and welcome to the world of Ishura, an alternate version of earth where the continents were slammed together as a result of a war in the Year 1901 C.E (Common Era), between incredibly powerful beings, known as the Japanese Folklore spirits Daitengu, and their disciples. The aftermath of the war would mark a completely new Era for humanity, every year after being known as A.U or After Union. In this universe, the creatures, spirits, demons, etc, of Japanese Folklore exist and heavily influenced the course of the worlds history.

The most important change in this Universe's History, was the emergence of a genetic mutation, better known as Yokai Gene's (Y.G for short) across the globe. Because the world and it's inhabitants were in close proximity to Yokai, naturally the energy or "Ki" of these mythical beings and creatures would begin to bleed into everything around them. Plants, animals, etc, would begin to involuntarily absorb properties of Ki, and as a direct result, the world would begin to see results of the mutations. Plants would be the first to alarm the change as some became sentient, or would grow in bizarre ways, some even having wildly vibrant color schemes, while others having poisons that could destroy whole sections of forests. Then animals became next, as yokai-esque looking animals began to show up around small towns, while other animals would be seen able to control certain elements or other seemingly magical abilities. Then the first human would surface, with what is now called a "Mutation Marker" that appeared in the form of horns on his forehead. Slowly but surely more humans began to develop traits such as wings, tails, extra arms, two heads, etc. These mutations not only gave a human one trait, but also greatly changed the natural abilities of humans, varying from inhuman speed and dexterity, to increased strength and durability or even heightened senses of smell and hearing.


At first, humans would only have one Mutation Marker and one natural ability that was altered, however that changed when a woman appeared with not one, but two traits. This woman would have wings and horns, and seemingly had all his natural human abilities altered. Not only that but he had the ability to control the weather and materialize a vibrant rainbow colored Katana. She would be known as the first human-being to hold Yokai Shogun Genes or Y.S.G for short. Y.S.G mutations would only appear once out of every ten thousand Y.G holders naturally, meaning they were incredibly rare. A being with Y.S.G would have two or more Mutation Markers, increased natural abilities on all fronts, the ability to summon what would be come to know as a "Soul Binder" or a Katana they can be materialize and dematerialized at will, as well as typically one ability that could be perceived as magical or divine in it's nature. Thus began humanities new societal age, as Y.G and Y.S.G's became more and more widespread with each passing year.

This RP will be taking place in the year 2185 A.U, a dystopian cyberpunk-esque future on Ishura. This RP is going to center around the Sakanoshita District, and will follow several arcs of story. After each Arc, ill accept new characters and do a general recap before starting the next arc. Your characters at the start have been recruited by Tsukiyama Fujino, a rising name in Sakanoshita. She is starting her own Gang, The Kurosagi (Black Swans), in an attempt to form a group capable of disrupting the current status-quo in the district, with a secondary plot that will become important in later arcs if we get there.

- First Arc: A Change is Here -

In the mega-city of Neo-Tokyo, the J.F polices the streets with an iron hand. Y.G and Y.S.G are more or less left to protect and police themselves. Gangs and Groups of Y.S.G have grown to become the top of the food chain in Neo-Tokyo, as most functions in each districts, are directly controlled by the biggest groups and gangs. In Sakanoshita, The Forgotten are the kingpins of the crime ridden district. Anyone who wants to conduct a new business enterprise or venture, would have to go through the Forgotten and pay a hefty tax or payout. Anyone who decided differently, are met with a very violent and very public execution, made an example for anyone foolish enough to think similarly. Tsukiyama has been abiding by the rules of the Forgotten, but with the emergence of the Kurosagi, shes looking to change Sakanoshita into a place that people can come to and not have to look over their shoulder constantly. This arc will follow the start of the Kurosagi's journey into becoming the top gang in Sakanoshita.


- Setting -


Our story will be taking place in the far off future of 2185 A.U. In 2185, the world is vastly ahead in means of technology, lifestyles, world views, and general societal hierarchies. On Ishura, there are Five Mega cities Of importance. Them being known as New-Paris (All European Ancestral Decent) at it's Northwest corner and Coast, Moscow-0 at its Northeast Corner and Coast (All Russian Ancestral Decent), San-Washington at its Southwest Corner and Coast (All North, Central and South American Ancestral Decent), Old Kinshasa at its Southeast and coast (Middle Eastern/African/Australian Ancestral Decent) and last but not least, the most important city, Neo-Tokyo (all Asian Countries Ancestral Decent), lay at it's center. Each city spanning thousands of miles wide, all in various different designs and city plans.

All five cities fall under the law and order of the Japanese Federation, or the J.F for short. The J.F took control after the chaos of the Union generally pretty fast as most of their infrastructure was intact and they happened to have the most Y.S.G soldiers at the time. Of course this wasn't a peaceful takeover. Once the J.F realized they weren't the only surviving government entity, there was a period of hostile take overs, as the J.F mobilized and siege each city at the time. It was a swift and "just" takeover, as the J.F began dictating what was and wasn't allowed. There would be a nation wide ban on the travel of Y.S.G outside of Tokyo, only those carrying a special passport, with approval from the J.F were allowed to leave and live in another mega-city. Not only that, but every Y.S.G would be required to have a tracer injected into their bodies, either at birth, or for the already existing Y.S.G, a non-optional medical procedure. Of course there are many who hide in the vast mega-cities, however they must keep a low profile or risk the Jaegar (Think Navy SEALs) operatives coming to terminate "Undocumented Shogun". This is a problem that is gaining more and more ground as Y.S.G are forming groups and pushing back against the status quo of the J.F.

There are three joint agencies, called the Peace Corps, dedicated to enforcing J.F laws and policies at different levels, spanning jurisdiction across all five mega-cities.






- Districts/NPC District Gangs -

Neo-Tokyo takes the shape of a giant circle spanning thousands of miles, surrounded by nuclear-warfare defense, Y.S.G grade material wall. There is one road that goes directly through the city from left to right, almost like a spine, known as the Mugen no michi (Infinite Road) or I.R 1. The Mega-City itself is separated into specific districts, that all have their own downtown along the main spine and, in a somewhat literal sense, ecosystems. These districts take the general layout of rings around the center of Neo-Tokyo, with each district sectioned off by the same material as the outer wall of the city, and max-security gates at certain roads connected to the neighboring district. There was a general plan for the layout of the city, but hundreds of years of growth has lead to a mostly jumbled labyrinth of various building designs. Seemingly infinite amounts of roads and buildings at ground level, with 20-50 levels built above, stacked in a mostly secure way. More often then not, the citizens of Neo-Tokyo could discover an entirely new level of the city they've never been too, despite living their whole lives in the city. Addresses typically include, building I.D, Street Name, Floor Number, District (Ex. FujKu114, I.R 1, G-0, Sakanoshita District would be the address for the Kurosagi's base.)

(Some of the districts wont be in this arc, so they will be locked for the time being, as will their Gangs/Groups, as they also wont make an appearance.)

This RP will be taking place in the year 2185 A.U, a dystopian cyberpunk-esque future on Ishura. I have a couple different plots we could do, but the main plot idea I had would be for about 5-6 other people (willing to take more if it gains that much interest). You guys would be playing a group of Y.S.G military operatives, who are tasked by Ishura's government to stop a terrorist group known as the "Banished" from releasing a council of the strongest demons in Jigoku, or the Buddhists version of the underworld.

Other Plots ideas include

-Portals have been opening up in the Brokenlands and letting Yokai escape from Jigoku. We are Wall Defenders, attempting to save Neo-Tokyo from the waves trying to breach it's walls.
-A group of ragtag Y.S.G Mercenaries who are trying to make it in capital of Ishura, the Mega-City Neo-Tokyo.
-A reverse of the main plot, we'd be playing the "Banished".
-A "Death Squad" of Y.S.G soldiers in the J.F (Japanese Federation) siege the Mega-City of Moscow-0, who are trying to secede from Ishura.
-A More sandbox idea, of us just playing Y.S.G Holders who live in Neo-Tokyo.

- Potential NPC Gangs/A good way to see the vibe of the world -

















Time Square


Gwen found herself sitting opposite to another busker, both them drumming on paint cans and metal trash can tops. She sat in torn clothing, seeming to be haphazardly sewn together pieces of fabric, with a mask on to cover her face. Her hair pulled up messy, to onlookers she would just seem like another homeless busker, an intended disguise just incase anyone knew the Gwen from this universe. She hadn't had any run ins yet, but with the people recording her shows, she felt it was better to be safer then sorry. A once small crowd had formed around them, almost piling on each other to watch the two, as they played a fast and intense rhythm back and forth to each other. Gwen had become somewhat of a local celebrity, known as the "Ghost Drummer", an elusive busker said to play a show and then suddenly vanish. She be seen all over the city, despite her ragged look, New York was captivated by her drumming. Her only real past time to relieve stress, other then fighting bad guys of course, was drumming, and not being in a band, or being on stage sort of killed her inside. So she turned to busking as both a form of income and a way to play without having to either reveal she was Gwen Stacy, or try and make up a whole new identity, the former being definitely out of the question.

As the two came to a close, the crowd cheered and began tossing money into their paint buckets. The two bowing, she saluted the crowd as they began to circle her, asking for autographs and pictures "Sorry folks, I'm only here to play music, thanks for staying to watch!" blowing kisses to the crowd and suddenly turning invisible, the crowd went wild as the Ghost Drummer preformed her signature disappearing act.

Walking away as the crowd began to take selfies of where she once stood, the voice of her closest friend spoke in her mind "Gwen...this feels like a waste of our time. Why do you waste so much time here?" Venom asked slightly annoyed the woman used their powers for something as trivial as this.

"Because this is best place to make money, which allows us to buy food, and you unfortunately make me incredibly hungry...all the time" Gwen said snarkily as she weaved in and out of the crowd still invisible.

"Fair point."

In truth, Gwen found this to be her favorite place in this universes NYC, some how feeling vastly different from her own, somehow brighter and busier, if that were possible. It had also been a sure fire spot for busking when she wasn't out being a hero and she made most of her friends here, despite most of them being homeless. It also happened to be one of the only places that seemed to not change despite all that happened 8 months ago. Gwen hadn't been with the Avengers yet, but she did show up to aid in saving civilians as the Avengers handled the bigger problems. Seeing Time Square appearing as if nothing had happened felt odd, the memories of the crash site somewhat haunting her, but also very reliving. Almost like a time capsule that remained unscathed by the world around it.

Sneaking off to an alleyway, she uncloaked herself and changed into her Ghost Spider suit. Or almost did, as she put on her mask, her spider-sense twanged, making her turn around to a gun in her face "dont make any sudden moves, gimme yo-"

"You're not serious are you?" Gwen cut the mugger off. "Either you're stupid high...or stupid stupid" the man confused at Gwen's lack of fear, despite him towering over her. She pointed to the spider symbol on her chest and she could see the metaphorical cogs turning in his head. The man dropped his gun and ran, making Gwen sigh "why do they always run?" shooting a web at the mans Ankles, while using her other wrist to shoot a web to the building above her. Pulling herself up, while pulling the man with her, she landed on the edge of the roof, the man dangling below her. "Im going to let you hang out here and think about what it means if anyone finds out what I look like, I'll send the cops for you...eventually" she winked at the man, putting her mask on and jumping off the building, webbing him to the side of the building while swinging away. Snagging her backpack, she she pulled out her phone and checked the news. Her eyes reading a headline made her come crashing down on a rooftop, the reason being an article talking about the passing of George Stacy's wife.

She had thought about maybe approaching them when she first got her, but after learning of this Universe's Gwen, she felt it wouldn't go well. Still, the idea of this universe's George losing both his wife and his daughter, made her only think of what her Father must be thinking, unsure if time even passed the same here in this universe. Shaking the thoughts, she sighed and sat on the edge of the building, pulling out her Avenger's I.D, flipping it between her fingers. She wasn't really sure what to do about this whole Avengers thing, having been recommended to Cap by Fury, when she met with Captain America, she felt she didn't exactly belong. Even in her universe and prior to meeting other spider-totems, she really only worked alone. She had teamed up from time to time, but that was in a Universe where she was known. Here though, she was just a new hero on the scene. She also knew that Peter had made the team, because well...duh, but the only people who knew her situation was Fury, and Cap, both of which said they'd help keep her identity hidden until she was ready. Anything could happen however, and at some point she would have to talk to Peter.

While having a slight panic attack at the idea of seeing a Peter Parker again, the I.D would suddenly come to life, making her drop it. Webslinging it back to her hand, Steve suddenly appearing and informing her to meet at the Avengers Mansion for a mission. "Wow impeccable timing, almost like it's watching me" she joked.

"I'll never get over the fact Caps a guy in this universe" Venom spoke as Gwen leaped off the building, swinging towards Avengers Mansion.

"It is kind of a let down, isn't it?"



Avenger's Mansion


Arriving at the mansion, she had only been there a couple of times, opting to not live at the mansion like some of the others. Both to help keep her identity secret and because she felt weird living in a superhero dorm. She did come to take showers every now and then, but she had never met any of the others. Partly because she used her invisibility the times she had come, and partly because she came late enough to ensure less of a chance to interact with anyone.

"Hello Jarvis, am I the first one in?"

"Hello Ms.St-...Ghost-Spider, you happen to the third, right after Mr.Parker and Mr.Hammond. They are currently in the briefing room, would you like me to take you there?" the elevator door opened.

"Of course Peter is here, he couldn't have been the very last person to show up, or just missed the meeting entirely...thanks Jarvis, I'd appreciate it" stepping in, the elevator doors closed leaving Gwen and Venom alone as it moved down.

"So how do we play this? I was thin-"

"No...no plans from you, not after last time" Gwen shuttered at the now buried memory deep within her mental vault where other Venom Plans resided. "We're just going to act like we're new to the city and that Peter was our idol growing up. That's it, hopefully others will come in before Peter want's to ask any questions."

"Sounds horrible....I love it!"

"Yeah yeah, just try to keep quiet, I want to make this work okay?" Venom opting to not respond, both annoying Gwen and relieving her. She didn't need crazy alien goo monster talking her mind, while she attempted to pretend to be someone else. The door to the elevator opened, Gwen jumping to relax her body a bit. Stepping out she saw Jim and Peter sitting next to each other. Her spidey-sense twanged slightly, her being sure that Peter's did something similar. Deciding to speak before he could "It's nice to finally meet you two, especially you Spider-man, I hope you dont mind that I took some inspiration for the costume" she quickly sat across from the other two "I go by Ghost-Spider, I wasn't late was I?" Gwen attemping to make a joke to hopefully lighten the mood. Although she did feel weird for still having on her mask, she hoped it helped mask her voice, just in case she sounded like the Gwen Stacy of this Universe.


Finished my CS, I did change a decent amount of her origin story, but tried to keep the same general idea's and plot for her, also added some minor villain changes. Please let me know if i need to fix or clarify anything, history especially
