Okay, guys, this is the discussion thread for the RPG Tales of Kami. Feel free to discuss anything related to the RPG here, be it characters, places, plot, etc. And don't hesitate to ask questions if you aren't sure of something.
Rules:
1. Follow all SPPF and RPG forum rules.
2. Keep in mind that this is a PG-13 rated RPG, for violence and the use of alcohol. Nothing more.
3. There will be flaming, spamming, or trolling. Trolls are not one of the races in this RPG. The closest thing would be acting like an Oni. And there will be none of that either.
4. Use proper grammar, punctuation, and capitalization.
5. There will be no bunnying without the prior consent of the other party's character(s). Allowed bunnying must remain in character at all times.
6. Please, please, please...only sign up if you are going to post. And try to stick with the RPG if you are accepted.
7. There will be no reservations for this one.
8. You may sign up with up to two characters. If there are still spots left open, then I may allow a third character.
9. Lastly, HAVE FUN!
Brief recap of the plot:
Long ago, Enma was sealed away by Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Susano'o. There is an evil monk (whom some of you may know of, while others may not) who is trying to obtain all of the shards of Amaterasu's Mirror in order to awaken Enma once more. Meanwhile, an evil man by the name of Yashasuke has murdered the king of Ashihara (the Earthly Realm) and is now hunting down the crown-princess, Yurihime Shiroirenge.
The Tales of Kami Guide to Magic – Heavenly and Demonic Arts
The Earthly Realm is home to many different forms of magic, which have been passed down from generation to generation. These forms of magic include, but are not limited to:
- Transformation Magic (one of the most common forms of magic; altering the appearance of oneself; used most by Kitsune, Bakeneko/Nekomata, Tengu, and lesser Kami)
- Summoning Magic (a form of magic that involves calling upon the help of a spirit or monster to aid you; typically used to summon Inugami, but can also be used for Kitsune and lesser Kami)
- Elemental Magic (the magic of fire, wind, water, lightning, earth, ice, and darkness; mostly used for offensive purposes, such as attacking an enemy)
- Spiritual Magic (a form of magic focused solely on the transferring of souls to the plain of spirits; transforming oneself into a spirit for a period of time, allowing the caster to go just about anywhere, and possibly possess the bodies of others)
- Healing Magic (a form of magic that involves the healing of another using supernatural means; typically used by Kitsune, Bakeneko/Nekomata, Inugami, and lesser Kami)
- Reanimation Magic (the most malicious form of magic; can be utilized by only the most skilled of magic-users; involves the reviving of a dead body or object by inserting a devilish spirit into it; the possessed corpse or object follows its master’s orders without question)
Important places: [I've started drawing a map of the Earthly Realm, and I'll try to post a link to it as soon as I've finished]
Ashihara-no-Nakatsukuni (The Earthly Realm)
- Sekai-hana (located to the northeast of Ashihara; a bustling city that lives in an eternal spring; it is called the ‘Flower of the World’)
- Harumura (located to the far east of Ashihara; a village that experiences an eternal spring)
- Natsumura (located to the far south of Ashihara; a village that experiences an eternal summer)
- Akimura (located to the far west of Ashihara; a village that experiences an eternal autumn)
- Fuyumura (located to the far north of Ashihara; a village that experiences an eternal winter)
- Sacred Plains (located directly between the villages of eternal seasons; the place where the battle between Enma and the Kami took place)
- Yomotsuhirasaka (the Gate of the Underworld; located within a shrine hidden in the Sacred Plains)
- Bamboo Forest (located to the east of Harumura; a deep forest of bamboo; it is said that deep within the forest there is a mysterious temple)
- Northern Mountains (located to the north of Fuyumura; said to be haunted by the Yuki-onna, a snow ghost)
- Rocky Steppe (located to the west of Akimura; a steep climb of rocks and boulders; said to be guarded by the very Kami themselves)
- Beach (located to the south of Natsumura; only the bravest of fishermen dare venture to the water’s edge, for legend tells of a giant sea monster that dwells within the seas)
- Hot Springs (there are two; one is located to the east of Natsumura, while the other can be found north of Harumura; they are guarded by the same pair of monkeys, one very small, the other very large, who can seemingly travel from one hot spring to the other very quickly)
Takamagahara (The Heavenly Plain)
- Fields of Paradise (very little is known about the Heavenly Plain, for no mortal has ever been there)
Yomi (The Underworld)
- Path of the Dead (the road that stretches from one end of the Underworld to the other; is littered with the corpses of mortals long-passed; wails and screams can be heard from every side)
- Ravaged Lands of the Forsaken (endless plains littered with the bones and corpses of warriors felled in battle; restless ghost-samurai still haunt the areas, seeking out wanderers to feast upon)
- Lake of Fire (a body of flaming liquid situated as the final opposition for those who seek to reach the resting place of Enma)
- The Forgotten Temple (the huge temple in which Enma was sealed; the final mirror shard rests here)
