Out of general curiosity, are we removing the passive regeneration shown in episode 4?
The mansion lay in disarray. The front door had posed no resistance to the passing of the humanoid typhoon and now hung open, clinging to its hinges. The living room sat covered in shredded scrolls, with Anjou's seal present on many pieces. Ink coated the walls of the study. Piles of ash were all that remained of the papers found within; the desk sat ablaze and threatened to light the house. Paper walls were smashed open with little regard to where they led. Tatami were thrown from their places, leaving ugly holes in the floor.

In the bedroom was the cause of the damage: a fiesty girl with fiery pink hair. In her left hand - or, more accurately, claws - was the lesser half of the local lord's futon. With her right, she tore at the tatami that had sat beneath. The edges showed signs of the tatami having been frequently lifted out of place. Once removed, a glass case was revealed, hidden beneath.

"Pay dirt."

The girl heaved the heavy box from its hiding place and, in the same motion, smashed it onto the greater half of the futon. Large shards of glass dug into the already ruined bedding as a final "fuck you" to the owner. The girl, known as Lieu Lei, kicked the base of the case aside to reveal the item she'd come to steal: a large gemstone slightly smaller than her fist that had purportedly been given to the lord by Anjou himself. She reached down to grab the gem, and as her fingers closed around it...

The walls of the mansion melted away around Lieu. The gem in her hand glowed a strange, otherworldly color, and Lieu had the strange sensation that she was moving, though to where she did not know. As the light faded, trees began to appear at the edges of her vision, then slowly closed in around her. The gem went dark, then shattered with a pop, leaving only dust in Lieu's grip.

A quick glance around told her that she was at a shrine of some sort - Kado Shrine, her mind mysteriously filled in - and that she was surrounded by seven others. To them, it had appeared that she had grown from a speck in the air over the course of two seconds. To her, the presence of youkai and the fox statue at the shrine could only mean one thing. Her hand shot to the handle of the axe hooked to her back.

"You'll never take me without a fight, you flunkies of the fox!"
Updated Lieu's character sheet.
The thing that hurts a person's writing the most is not writing at all.
Just dropping in to say I'm building a character as well. Actually, it's also to ask a question.

In the character sheet's equipment section, you said "No technology beyond steel age materials. That means no guns." The Steel Age is actually a period right around the start of the 20th century, which is about when modern cartridge ammunition was coming into widespread use. So my question is, are we in a Steel Age that just never invented guns as viable weapons or what, @Hayazo?

At the newcomer's suggestion, Dominik cast a quick glance back to his two comrades. The two were chummily slurring drunken nonsense to one another, and somehow both were just drunk enough to understand one another. Satisfied, Dominik swiped a wide tray heavily laden with beer mugs from a cute tavern wench NPC and lugged it over to the table.

"Forgive me saying, but it looks like you guys are the ones in need of a bit of hanging out," Dominik said as he placed the tray on the center of the table. "Have a round on me and unwind a bit. And you, my Celtic friend, you should have two." Dominik walked around the table to take a seat beside the leader, his face bearing a genuinely friendly smile. "So, how about some introductions? My name's Dominik, and my two lit up friends over there are Alissa and Kouichi. The three of us were beta testers."
