At least if you're writing something you know, with knights.

I mean, depends on what you're writing, and the tone and theme of what you're writing. Trained armored knights were legitimately monstrous on the battlefield, so looking up how they fought helps.

As much as there's a lot of reasons twitter sucks, I genuinely don't want to see it die for the sake of all the artists who now rely on it. Hoping the shithead stops trying to directly administrate.

roleplayerguild.com/posts/5… If anyone's up for fighting some kaiju, why not try out my new RP, Godzilla: YATAGARUSU?

Imaginary District: Youkai, Magic, and Youth, a Urban Fantasy RP
→
10 yrs ago
Forum: Casual Interest Checks
The Imaginary District is something of an urban legend in Miura City. An unknown, isolated district, somehow split away from the world? An invisible and untouchable place where humans and youkai coexist? Naturally, it's impossible for the average person to accept the existence of such an absurd place. Who could possibly believe in a location where magic and mythology are real?
There are others who know better.
The Imaginary District is real. A place where humans freely show extraordinary abilities. Where youkai walk the streets. Where strange, supernatural occurrences happen every day. Where the uncommon is commonplace. The rest of the world hides these facts away, but within the Imaginary District, beyond the boundary, there are no such systems. The barrier shuts most people from entering or leaving, though those with supernatural abilities can pierce it. Signals, such as those for television or radio, can also penetrate the barrier.
It's through these means that the Imaginary District receives supplies it would not be able to otherwise from the outside world. It is also through these means that Youkai Hunters, or others who would seek less savory courses of action, enter the Imaginary District.
It's only natural that there must be some method of defending the Imaginary District, both from within and without.
The Police department is staffed with those who wield supernatural powers in order to protect the Imaginary District.
A recent invention, however, is the Miura Youth Organization. Composed of young people, both human and (whatever constitutes for young)youkai, it is a force intended to get younger residents involved with defending the Imaginary District, as a way to get them using their abilities for good purposes.
The founder of the Miura Youth Organization, Aoyama Makiko, is only a teenager herself.
But supplies and people aware of the supernatural aren't the only people who slip through the barrier at times. Every once in a while, there's an accident...
You're on your way home. Suddenly, everything goes dark. And then light. The world around you twists inwards, and you fall.
You open your eyes to find yourself in the very place you were walking moments ago. But something seems... different. Someone approaches you, and as you look up, you see they have cat ears.
WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!
So, um, I like to run two RPs at once... and this is an urban fantasy RP! It's set in my own personal setting, but a bit different then previous attempts. Set in Miura's Imaginary District, there is no masquerade within the barrier. Players will take up the rolls of members of the Miura Youth Organization, a single newcomer, or any other potential character type they can think of that'd work out. I'd like if you talked to me about other options, first, though.
As for the newcomer, only one allowed and they have to be human, someone who slipped through the barrier by accident into a world of youkai and magic.
I'm going to be less strict on playable character types in this RP then in others in the same setting. There's two main categories: Youkai and humans.
Youkai must be sufficiently human-like, and humans must have some sort of supernatural ability.
This can be mage techniques, onmyodo, or an isolated magic trait born from having a magical background but no formal training. Or even an item of some sort.
Here is my urban fantasy universe bible for more information.

I don't think it's hard to excuse him being there.
So once we get the bath done with, it'll be time to move to the ball, pretty much. Right before everyone gets there most likely, so the tail end of preparation and then arriving there.
Fanilly's just meeting the two new knights. It's also in the female bathes. ^^;
I'm planning on ending it in a couple more posts(from me). To move to the next day.

Sult I don't think that's appropriate.
Fanilly stared for a few moments as she watched the knight sink into the water, bright red. This was an... intensely awkward situation, to say the least. It seemed that life had deemed things to be intensely awkward right after the knights returned from their mission. Fanilly hadn't known that Sult had a twin brother, however, though now that she thought of it she felt foolish for not realizing sooner. She'd heard of the Raven Knights previously, after all.
She took a deep breath. "It's not as if you'd be undergoing any sort of punishment, even if it was quite an, um... outburst."
Fanilly wasn't sure how to take the comments directed at herself. But before she could dwell on that more, Sult offered to scrub her back.
"... Er..."
Well... it was nothing her own maids hadn't done before. Still, in this context it seemed more embarrassing. The older girl had slid up beside her, offering it as a method of apology... And Fanilly really did need to get going on this meeting. She didn't want to be sitting in the bath all day, having a series of false starts.
"... F-fine. I'll just speak to the new knights while you do so."

Serious Series: Serious Punch.
Fanilly is going to try and hold a quick meeting while her back is being scrubbed.
Most official meeting ever.
Also might make a really quick post to respond to Sult, mulling it over for the moment. It wouldn't count towards the two I'm making to finish out the meeting and bath since it's just to move things on a bit.

Keep in mind I AM trying to end it relatively soon. Two more posts from me at most. ^^;
I want to get on to the next event without dawdling too much.
