feeling a little nostalgic.

I already posted about Kamen Riders, but what's yet another obscure fandom

I've... recently? gotten into Legend of the Five Rings, a tabletop RPG, which is based on Eastern mythology medieval stuff.

I specially like how the characters are built in it, because rather than going for Strength, Dexterity, etc.; your stats are instead dictated by your affinity to the elements, Fire, Water, Earth, Air, and Void (the Five Rings!). Each ring is associated with a particular way of doing things; a Fire character would probably reckless charge in battle, while an Air character would feint and trick their opponent into creating openings. An Earth character would be good at retaining and memorizing information, but a Water one would instead be good at gathering it from their surroundings.

It's set in the land of Rokugan, which is basically everything Asian mushed together, where the Emperor rules over seven different Great Clans of samurai who split the territories and have vastly different cultures. There's also the code of Bushido and its tenets, and each Great Clan focuses on one while they... downplay another. There's the Crab clan who fight to protect the border from evil monsters and undead, the Crane clan who influence through diplomacy and art, the Dragon clan who seclude themselves in the mountains to seek Enlightenment, the Lion clan who excel in combat and military pursuits, the Phoenix clan who serve the many gods, the Scorpion clan who use underhanded means to root out the enemies of the Empire, and the Unicorn clan who has recently returned from the West, bringing knowledge about other countries with them. There's also the Imperial families who support the Emperor directly, the ronin and commoners who slip through the gaps, the minor clans given honor by the Emperor for some reason or another, the spirits and mystical creatures of neighboring realms, and even some foreigners. It's got a wealth of lore >.>

...sorry, just wanted to spaz.

As someone who's only been briefly in a sandbox site before it crashed, I'm interested, since it might allow me to do a bunch of characters who don't quite fit into the existing (or at least those I could find) sites for now. My only concern is if it could stay going... and if there'd be people in it who would go along with my stuff... XD

As someone who's currently siteless at the moment and whose only source of roleplay and somewhat fixation is the Legend of the Five Rings, an eastern-based fantasy tabletop roleplaying game, (I encourage people to look into it XD) in Discord, this interests me XD

Do magical creatures have to be strictly Eastern-inspired, or could there just be like spirits or something? Not that spirits aren't in Eastern mythology... there's probably plenty of ancestors and restless spirits in them... it's just that most sites that go for such a setting limit the magical creatures to strictly folklore youkai or something. ...if you've seen my wanted ad on my signature I constantly want to play a spirit who assumes the form of a magician, so yeah XD

to be honest I've been intimidated by hoenn for the longest time, since it advertises itself as a faction-based roleplay... but maybe I could give it another look, a closer one.

I guess I'm gonna try finding a site again, although it's been soooo long since I've managed to find one that fit, that genuinely interested me... >.>

Anyway, I'm looking for any of these:

- A medieval fantasy or JRPG-site that would allow me to execute certain concepts like an amnesiac spirit masquerading as a water magician, a mercenary who fights by telekinetically wielding a large amount of swords, and the like. I've probably described the first character a lot of times, and it's been really difficult to put him into most sites, either because of his abilities or his backstory.

EDIT: Might as well include his profile here...

Rhyme is an angel/spirit/magical being with the (unique?) ability to see people's souls. He becomes attached to an idealistic magician of water who seeks peace, seeing and appreciating his sincerity. With his help, the magician manages to pull off an event that involves the protection or emancipation of several people, but at the cost of the magician's life. Devastated, Rhyme fell into hibernation and lost his memories, and took the form of the magician, becoming that's magician's amnesiac doppelganger.

- A laidback Pokemon site, or one with some sort of twist--- maybe have it set in medieval ages, have proper religions based on the legendary Pokemon, have trainers fight alongside their Pokemon, any and all of the above?

- A superhero site where abilities aren't limited to genetics or mutation--- where one can be a superhero based on technology, or magic. A place where I could make a Kamen Rider-esque character would be nice, too.

- A RWBY site if my character could be part of a themed team or something, like one based on the Four Symbols of Asian mythology or the Four Riders of the Apocalypse.

Just animanga face claims, please, or none at all. I also hate panfandoms with a passion, unless I can possibly throw Kamen Riders into it... and even then maybe not.

...this is almost just like what I posted before in December, huh. Sigh.

Have at it.

I don't know if I can commit to such a wild concept, but...



PEPSIMAN!

Victory is fleeting, as all things are.

wanted to join a site but it's dead. sigh

again, again, i want to write

don't usually go for post-apocalyptic but if I could bring certain character concepts of mine...

INFP - T!

I've taken the test multiple times and it's always this XD

It seems to be accurate too. I daydream too much and am generally unmotivated XD

...so do the Warlords also fight or do they just buff their Pokemon?

Either way, this sounds promising and interesting.
