[D&D-5e] Mists of Akuma: Scourge of Robai Shita

[Ballingray]

In this case no, because there is a samurai class option that is specific to this setting that you can find details of here.

In this case I'm looking for Backstory, again there are a list of backgrounds you can use in the forum linked above but my interest in this time is more getting the high level concept ironed out first and we can worry about mechanics on final selections.

Name: Kamiya Seifun
Race: Hengeyokai - Kitsune
Class: Cleric
Background: The Seifun clan was a band of travelers, dancers and storytellers. They would bring their arts of illusion to various towns and joy would follow them until one day they played their tales in front of a dark being. The tale they wove drove the being mad with anger and he cursed the clan. Soon after that they would find villages turning them away, pots rusted, wagon wheels broke, and bandits seemed to waylay their every step. The clan split apart in the hopes that the curse would not follow all of them, but even apart tragedy struck. When Kamiya's father passed away due to an accidental poisoning her mother had enough. She went into a shrine and begged the gods for their help. So it was that Amatatsu, mother of Kamiya became a shrine priestess.

Kamiya herself has followed in the footsteps of her mother and she too is a shrine priestess. To this she still hears stories of the dark creatures and their various curses. Kamiya is often drawn from the shrine to deal with these dark forces. Returning back to her mother and the shrine with her tales and a hope that someday, somewhere, she will find a way to bring her family back together.

Personality: Despite the tragedy in her life Kamiya is happy and full of joy. She will dance in the sunlight for nearly no reason, sing, and just provide joy to all around her. She has a hard time believing that anyone, who is not a dark spirit, is truly evil and will always try to get them to change their ways if she can. She reserves her anger for the dark spirits and that anger can be terrible indeed.

Appearance: Long flowing silver hair, bright blue eyes, pointed silver ears atop her head, and a flowing fluffy silver tail make Kamiya stand out. Add on the vestments of her calling and she is a sight that brings many people into the shrine.

Last call before I close this on Friday.

I adore the setting (horror and Nioh-type Japanese demonic influence? Yes please) and would be intrigued playing a gun bard in your setting, but I don't want to over commit on applications. I'm still weighing my options, but I wish all of you a great time if I don't apply!

Vix Lockhardt Name: Vix Lockhardt Race: Hengeyokai - Kitsune Class: Moon Druid Appearance: One look at Vix and you realize that everyone you ever thought was a redhead was actually an orangehead. Without any evidence of dye, her head sports an impossibly vibrant red mane, cascading down off her shoulders and back. Peeking out from beneath her bangs, those large orange pupils are reflective, tiny mirrors, especially at night. Her face is young, no freckles, with a small nose. Around town she typically wears a hat or beanie and a dress. But rumor has it that beneath that hat lies two fluffy animal ears positioned too high on her head, and long bushy tail hides beneath that dress. Personality: Vix is bloodthirsty, quick to anger, and an implacable foe. She isn't stupid, but she seeks out conflict as a personal preference. Background: Roustabout. Vix's parents were Yamabushi, but she found such a life too boring, and yearned to actually do something. When she got thrown out of the village for biting a thief, she never looked back.   Vix spun the shot glass like a top, watching keenly as it spiraled around on the table, jumping every time it hit a bump. As it neared the edge, she put her hand out and caught it as it made its suicidal plunge. She looked up at the youth in the fancy hat. "So... what you're saying is... you have no idea what kind of monster is killing the villagers. You don't know how powerful it is. You assume that there's only one, but you don't know. You never got a good look and you didn't investigate the tracks yourself after the thing was gone. It could even be that the villagers killed each other. Have I got that right?" The young bard was nervous, but he put on his best smile. "I assure you the good villagers would never do that!" He fingered his lute idly as he tried to come up with what to say next. "Yea, I think it's a Shikome. It has to be a Shikome. Will you go take a look?" Vix snorts. She filled the little glass and downed the sake. "Of course I'm going to go take a look. And you're coming with me." She then reaches into her belt pouch and pulls out two coins. "But these two gold pieces say that we are not dealing with a Shikome."

Thanks for all the applications everyone. I will be closing this to applications in approximately 9 hours or so, so still time for a last last minute application for anyone else potentially interested.

[Ballingray]

Applications are now closed. I will make final selections in due course.

[DiceGoblin]

Good luck everyone!

[Ballingray]

I have contacted all accepted characters via PM, if you have not heard from me and are still interested in a spot in the game going forwards then by all means post below and let me know. Otherwise thank you all for your consideration of the game and your well-written characters, this was by no means an easy choice to make.

[Onward]

Hey, hey, no worries, this was your choice to make, and you probably picked the best people for the job. As for the spot, I'll gladly take it, pm me or something if your looking for extra players.

[Cheshire]

Man to bad I just saw this today. This looks fun, great idea!

[Ballingray]

If anybody still wants to apply then by all means do so, and when a slot opens up in the game I'll look to anyone who's posted here first rather then going through another recruitment cycle.
