Hanaemi (name pending) is a fantasy roleplay set in a fictional rendition of feudal Japan. In a time when spirits and humans coexisted, distrust and tension ripples throughout the land of the rising sun. The country has shattered into smaller factions, all of them sharing a grand ambition: to take over the entire nation. In a war-torn era, where will you stand?
The roleplay is inspired by Japanese folklore, sengoku jidai, the game Onmyoji and other media of the same nature. I've once mentioned this in quick interest checks and I decided to flesh out this idea a bit. Playable Species
Humans ❀ Regular people, pretty self-explanatory. Nevertheless, some humans are trained in the arts of onmyodo, such people are called onmyoji. Onmyoji are, in short, sorcerers capable of summoning yokai, creating protective amulets for other people, etc.
Yokai ❀ Magical beings and spirits. Kitsune, inugami, tengu, you name it. Yokai characters would have an option to have their own unique ability (nothing too overpowered though), to spice things up a bit and give everyone a little bit of freedom when it comes to characters.
Oni ❀ Demons and other hellish creatures, generally more aggressive and ruthless than an average yokai. Factions Three starting factions the RP would begin with. More factions may be added in the future.
Tokugawa ❀ An honorable faction of warriors seeking to solve the nation's conflict in a peaceful, bloodless way. They are rather tranquil and do not fret when someone crosses into their territory. The clan consists of yokai and humans alike, and they make no difference toward one other.
Mikazuki ❀ The newest clan of the bunch. This faction only consists of humans – primarily regular samurai, demon hunters and onmyoji. The clan plans to eradicate all yokai and let regular people rule the nation once again.
Oda ❀ A faction that consists primarily of yokai and oni. They are the most ambitious of the three, wanting to unify the nation under their rule. Due to their high goals, they tend to be ruthless, willing to cut down anybody who stands in their path. Nevertheless, members of this faction are tight-knit and immensely loyal to one other. Factionless characters would also be available.Features
❀ Battles for territory, statless combat ❀ Political intrigue & political marriages ❀ Jcink-hosted, presumably ❀ Low activity standards, no word count, just have fun ❀ Play as a yokai and give it special powers, or play as a human, go wild with characters! ❀ Member-driven plot ❀ Some slice-of-life elements, but in feudal Japan ❀ And more! Other Notes I think that's the gist of it? Onmyoji meets sengoku jidai, basically. I'm definitely open to suggestions. The site is WIP and I'd like to know the general consensus before I try to do anything too insane regarding this project, because time is preciouuuus. I may change the name of the site and/or of the factions, because I'm terrible with names, oops.
I probably forgot about... like everything I wanted to mention??? Buuut I can answer additional questions. If I decide to continue with this project, I'm likely gonna open a staff search at some point.
Thank you for reading ^-^
