@Jurassic Weeb: Well, when I name a character I use the name order their culture uses. You don't have to do that, but when I record them in a character list I'll use that order. ^^;

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.

@Seirei No Hai: You can involve manmade things in your spell, it's just that the affinity itself won't be "bullet" or whatever. Also, affinities are not a limit. It's what your best at, but you can use spells outside of your affinity.
Anyway I'll look at stuff in a bit.

@Feyblue: I'll take a better look at it tomorrow, since it's quite late right now. ^^;
@Seirei No Hai: You can create affinities, but they have to be something that occurs naturally. For example, you can have an affinity for wood, which would give you an advantage when using spells involving paper, but you can't have an affinity for paper.
I'll hopefully have my own CS done tomorrow or on the weekend.

Konpaku Youmu
"Ah..."
All the food had arrived! And... and if Youmu was being honest with herself, it both looked and smelled delicious... She knew there was no way, even remotely, that Yuyuko-sama would hold back. And, well... she couldn't really herself, either.
"Itadakimasu."
With that, she somewhat awkwardly picked up her fork(still more used to chopsticks) and prodded at the poached egg sitting on top of the noodles. After a more firm prod, it broke, the golden yolk spilling out into the noodles and blending into the creamy sauce that coated them. She could also see crispy bits of pork sitting in the dish... after a moment's pause, Youmu awkwardly fumbled with her fork in order to scoop up a good sample of the meal, plenty of sauce, crispy pork bits, and noodles, and took a bite.
The creamy sauce, the crisp pork, the flavor of the egg yolk... it was all so perfect! Was it possible this was a recipe she could learn to prepare for Yuyuko-sama?! Forgetting herself for a moment, eyes shining, the diminutive white-haired girl dug in even more eagerly, devouring her meal with gusto. Every bite was so creamy, so delicious... And it was different then her usual favorites. Not to say that it was better, or worse. But it was a different experience from the kinds of meals she was used to. In spite of featuring noodles, it was hard to compare to, for example, ramen.
She only stopped when she realized Yuyuko-sama was speaking to her.
"Ah, er..." Youmu hesitated for a moment, setting her fork down.
"V-very well, Yuyuko-sama..." she said, at last, holding up her glass, intending to pour the wine for herself.

Midnight Illusion Agency: An Urban Fantasy RP Interest Check

Forum: Casual Interest Checks
The Town of Minazawa. A fairly peaceful place, Minazawa is located near central Japan and is considered to be a perfectly ordinary town. Well... with a few exceptions. If one thing about Minazawa could be thought of as anything other than ordinary, then that must be the plethora of urban legends. Hauntings, youkai sightings, all kinds of things are nearly constantly reported in Minazawa. In this otherwise ordinary town, it seems as if the residents want to spice things up with all kinds of myths. From rumors of Hanako-san haunting every single bathroom in every single building, to claims that a fox spirit haunts the abandoned shrine at the edge of town, to the famed myth of the beautiful lady vampire that visits the richest district of Minazawa every year, there's no end to the different supernatural rumors circulating throughout the town's residents.
Of course, most of the people of Minazawa don't take this seriously. Rather, there's a sort of fun to it, the rumor that such things could exist, that spices up everyday life. 'Investigation clubs' have sprung up of all sorts, in order to get to the bottom of mysteries like the vanishing alleyway or the hidden secret district that only appears once a week. Some legitimately believe that there's something supernatural afoot in the town, but most of the residents feel that it's simply a way to have fun.
It's in this regard that the people of Minazawa are wrong.
Hauntings, youkai, vampires, phantoms, wielders of magic... It's all real. All of it. A secret second layer of the world, beneath the common world of modern man.
And soon, the mundane first layer and the supernatural second layer of the world will intersect.
So, this is a new attempt at an RP set in my urban fantasy setting! For some background, here's some information I have recorded on the setting as a whole. For a quick primer on things likely to appear in the RP...
As for the main thrust of this RP, we'll be playing members of the Minazawa Investigation Agency, which will form over the course of the initial arc. From there, various supernatural incidents will occur, often featuring dangerous creatures and other such hazards, that must be resolved. Naturally, the Minazawa Investigation Agency will be in charge of resolving them.

So, this is a new attempt at an RP set in my urban fantasy setting! For some background, here's some information I have recorded on the setting as a whole. For a quick primer on things likely to appear in the RP...
- Magi: Capable of magic, invoked by spells and symbols, sometimes in conjunction with one another. Magical prowess is passed through bloodlines, some families having more or less mana(and higher or lower quality mana) then others. Magi will have an affinity, which can range from things like fire to gravity to numbers. Affinities(which are also passed through bloodlines) are not limited to the affinity itself, but also includes things that are conceptually linked to it. For example, a mage with an affinity for fire would also excel at spells involving "consumption", "ignition", and "destruction". Magi can preform spells outside their affinity, though it is more difficult to learn. Affinities cannot be for anything entirely man-made. Playable!
- Note: The most powerful mage(in terms of raw power) in this setting has an affinity for mana. They will not be appearing in this RP, and mana as an affinity is strictly off-limits. Other affinities that are off limits include Death, a totally unique affinity also claimed in this setting and absolutely broken for the purposes of this RP.
- Onmyouji: Magical practioners utilizing onmyodo as opposed to western methods of magic. They are similar(magic is passed through bloodlines, they have the same affinities), yet their methods are fundamentally different. Effectively they use the same magic, but with different methods. Onmyouji use ofuda to cast spells, which can be applied to objects or even bodies for a variety of effects. Onmyouji are also adept at preforming exorcisms. Playable!
- Magic Traits: Some magi and onmyouji families possess a special "magic trait", an inherent magical ability connected to their affinity. These are quite uncommon, but they still exist. They require no spellcasting, and usually give some edge in ability. The magic trait "Illusion Break", for example, passively destroys illusions as the mage or onmyouji draws close to them. It also enables them to see through illusions.
- Youkai: The various supernatural beings native to the country of Japan. There are a fair number of their kind located in Minazawa City. These days, many kinds of youkai have a humanoid appearance, but some do not. There are many that can coexist with humanity, but there are also many that are dangerous creatures that must be hunted. The more human-like youkai can crossbreed with humans. Playable!
