Template: Portrait (optional): Name: Gender: Age: Appearance: Sexual Orientation: Personality/History: Occupation: Relation to the Patriarch: If you choose to be a relative of the clan patriarch, you can write here how you're related to them (eg: child, brother, sister, in-law) Forbidden (Things like kinks and scenarios you don't want your character involved in. ie: noncon or scat.) Skills: As always, you have five skill points to spend on skills. One point indicates proficiency in a skill, while two indicates mastery. Not spending on a point on a skill doesn't mean your character can't do something. For example, you can ride a horse regardless of whether you pick riding as a skill, but if you spend a point on that skill, your character will be a talented rider. Magic: If you spend a point on a skill called magic, you'll have access to this section of the character sheet. With one point in magic, you can choose two spells, and with two points, you can start with four spells. At the beginning of the game, spells will be quite weak (like a small fireball that can burn a single enemy, a summon for a small magical creature, or a spell that makes you quieter during stealth), but you'll be able to learn stronger magic in the game. What spells you start with are up to the player. Stats: Wealth and prestige. Both start at 1. (All right, there we have it. Tell me if there's anything I missed on the sheet, or if anything needs clarification.) P.S: Oh, and by the way, to avoid confusion, names will be: Personal name first, Family name second, as is done in the west. In Japanese the Family name comes first, but since I'm pretty sure most of the people here are from the west, I thought it would be best to avoid confusion.
No, I thought they complicated things unnecessarily. I mean, if anyone really, really liked them, I'll bring them back, but I think they really just made people spend more time on character creation for no reason.
Name: Koyumi(小優美) Age: 34-426 Spoiler: Immediate Family Mitsuri is a "young" girl, who helps her mother with the shop. A bit quiet, but not shy, it takes her a while to get used to people. Having spent more time around humans, she tends to sympathize with their struggles more than most of her kind does, though she will always put her family and herself first over humans. Rare for her kind, she's willing to give people the benefit of the doubt first without expecting rewards for it. But should a human take advantage of her trust, their houses seem to suffer a case of inexplicably catching fire the next day. Date Kazunori is the name he went with. Being, half blooded, he doesn't suffer the same issue as the rest of his family and is perfectly comfortable with the idea of using that loophole to directly attack people. With his extended life, he's had plenty of practice to get in at making him good with a blade. Despite the intense look, he doesn't really like to practice and while he does like playing the part of the old master to those who want training under him, he will still gouge his students and villagers for his services and protection. Not even necessarily limited to money, he'll make deals to take payment for whatever he feels like actually matters to someone. If they aren't willing to part with it, then obviously they don't need his help that badly. His more magical oriented abilities he can find plenty of use for in combat, but he's not really creative with use of it outside of it and his skills in that respect have somewhat dulled compared to his mother or sister. As a mentor, he prefers to make his students do all the basic labor, like cutting wood or scrubbing floors, mainly because he doesn't want to. And to test the patience of prospective students as well, only really teaching the ones who show themselves to be truly dedicated to learning the ways of the sword. (I'm thinking she also has a lot of sisters, but I have no specific thoughts on any of them and I assume most of them are younger so they stay away from civilization.) Occupation: Merchant Skills: *Charm **Dexterity **Magic Magic: Due to running into the wrong kind of trouble with a particularly clever hunter, one of her tails has been severed, greatly weakening her magic. Of course, he's dead now, but not without having left his mark. While her abilities will restore with time, she's not at the state of being the menace she could have been. However, people who want her gone would realize they'd have the opportunity, so she keeps this to herself. She still retains the knowledge to know her spells, but can only manage using a handful of spells and not to the degree she could have before. Foxfire: Capable of generating fire/electrical bursts of energy, though in her current state they are much less potent. Confusion: Tampers with a target's senses and confuses them about the environment and the things surrounding them, leaving things and people not where they think they are. Shapeshift: Speaking will still give her away and she can't focus enough power to fine tune into any specific person or animal and can't hold forms for very long anymore(If this is too much to start, I can change it.) Life Drain: Can still weakly sap some health from someone to restore her own. She can't physically harm people, but since it doesn't cause any direct injuries itself, she can get away with using it. While absorbing magical energy too is possible, it's currently beyond what she's capable of. Stats: Wealth: 1; Prestige: 1 Description: "I won't hurt you." "You won't be hurt." There's a big difference between the wording and the kitsune are experts at finding ways around it. By their nature, the fox spirits are incapable of bringing harm to humans directly. But being the natural tricksters they are, it doesn't mean they aren't dangerous. Not caught up in the human definitions of right and wrong, Kitsune value their freedom above all else. Generally content with just harmless pranks, they aren't above being outright vicious when they feel wronged, whether the human in question knows what they did or not. Whether or not a kitsune is malevolent or benevolent in the eyes of people varies. For Koyumi, she falls in the end of not being a dangerous one. Her true nature is a closely guarded secret by a select few of the clan, who as taught by the elders, should just leave the spirit be. Having grown up with her around, most of the new generation of clan leaders consider her a welcome presence or at least a familiar one, and some even taking to her as a mother like figure, though there's still a number who see her as a dangerous spirit who needs to be appeased and would rather have her be some other clan's problem if they could find a way to do it without risking getting a curse brought on themselves. While mature, her trouble making nature tends to find it's way out though she mostly focuses it on business. It's not uncommon for people to find things she picks up on her travels that can be defined as not quite illegal. Those who don't know her consider her to be just a friendly, good looking and kind of shady merchant. Those aware of what she is, are mostly just happy she stays away from making any major trouble, but they'll still keep a closer eye on their pockets. Like other kitsune, she'll seclude herself to the woods for a while, only for their curiosity to get the better of them and make their way back to civilization for a little while. Changing names and jobs every few generations had left her with having saved quite a bit of money, enough to be a merchant of some status. She's not sure of how long she'll stick to this for, but she'll just have fun with it while it lasts. Forbidden: A lot of stuff is pretty context dependent, so it's hard to pin down. Some stuff might not work most of the time, but it still might have an occasion where it does. The only stuff I know I definitely don't approve of at all is gore, vore, scat, feet. I'm also really not for rape and murder kind of angles in general. Let me know if that works. Her magical skills might need to be edited if not.
Technically she should only have two spells, but on consideration, that isn't a lot for a magic based character, so I could increase the amount of spells a skill point buys. Just for clarification, not a problem at all, Date and Mizuri are her kids? Other than that, it's golden.
Changed the rule on magic, so she's fine to have four spells. I realised that I'd put a typo in the description, Apologies for that.
Work in progress, but anything obviously wrong/problematic so far? Portrait (optional): Name: Midori Gender: Female Age: 20 Appearance: Average height, blue eyes, large breasts, curvy body, long straight black hair that reaches almost to her ass Sexual Orientation: Bisexual, with a preference towards women Personality/History: Midori does not remember her father because he died from an illness when she was just two years old. When she was a child Midori was both very shy around people not from her family and very curious about the world. When she was five the above two traits led to her accidentally exposing and foiling a plot to kidnap her mother for ransom. The incompetent fools responsible for the plot were promptly caught and executed (their families would have been executed too, only they didn't have any). At that time Midori also discovered her talent for magic. As she grew up Midori spent a lot of time with her older sister. When Yuki began leading soldiers against bandits Midori assisted her by using magic to help locate the targets. As a result over the years she ended up learning quite a bit about combat tactics from her sister. As she got older Midori gradually overcame her shyness and became a bit more outgoing and friendly towards other people. She also discovered that she was a natural at seduction – and she promptly put her newfound ability to good use, both for her own entertainment and for the benefit of her family. Occupation: None at the moment Relation to the Patriarch: None Forbidden: Pregnancy Amputation Transformation Gore Vore Diapers Vomit Anything (magical contracts, cursed items, etc.) with significant permanent effects (loss of freedom, loss of life, loss of one's soul, etc.) that affect Midori or people close to her (such as parents, lovers and close friends). If you intend to use such things please warn me ahead of time – I will need time to figure out her reaction Mostly forbidden: Watersports Scat She would be willing to try such activities ONLY with people she's very close to and trusts, though it might take a bit of persuasion to get her to agree Rape (specifically Midori getting raped) is not a deal breaker for me, but please don't make it a common occurrence. Skills: Seduction: 2 Magic: 2 Tactics: 1 Magic: Wind Blades – create and shoot several blades made out of air. They can all target a single enemy or different enemies. At first the spell is quite weak, basically the magical equivalent of throwing several Throwing Knives or other thrown weapons at the enemy, but can grow much stronger Detect Life – detects all living creatures within a certain range and provides some basic info about them, allowing her to tell the difference between plants, animals and humans. Very useful for detecting ambushes and locating hidden bandit camps Dark Vision – for a limited time allows one person to see in the dark as well as they would be able to see during the day Arousing Aura – the newest addition to Midori's repertoire, this spell causes everyone in close proximity to her to gradually grow more and more aroused. Currently it has a very short range, so it is best used when Midori is close to her intended target, for example when talking to them. Stats: Wealth: 1 Prestige: 1 Family: Naomi (Mother) – a bureaucrat and a diplomat, good at governing and making favorable deals with other people Picture: Spoiler Yuki (Older sister, age 21) – a warrior, good with strategy and tactics, has studied the foreign weapons quite a bit as she considers them both very useful and very dangerous Saeki (Younger sister, age 19) – a merchant and a bureaucrat, good at governing. In charge of increasing the family's wealth, and so far doing a good job at it Picture: Spoiler All three have roughly the same appearance as Midori, with the main differences – apart from age and all it brings – being eye color and hair length: Yuki's barely reaches to her shoulders, Naomi's reaches to a bit below her shoulders (though it is hard to tell due to her usual hair cut – see picture), while Saeki's is nearly as long as Midori's. For the curious, breast size comparison between the four: Naomi and Yuki are equal in breast size, Midori is just slightly bigger, while Saeki is just slightly smaller.
Alright, realized I forgot to add a forbidden list so editted that in, though again...it's really hard to just think of everything I will or won't like since there's such a broad spectrum of things, there's always going to be something that doesn't occur to you that you didn't add, until it happens because there's so many things, you can't think of all of them. But also like I said...there's a lot of things like blackmail and mindcontrol, and lust drug stuff that I'm mostly not for, but there can still be the occasional moment where it works. Just won't usually get my stamp of approval normally, but it can happen. Like I said. A lot of it is context dependent.
Looks good. Looking forward to the rest. I've had that problem as well. I think basically that the list should get updated as you think of more things that you aren't into, or if you think that the story might be going in a direction that you find uncomfortable. Gore, scat and that kind of stuff are actively disgusting to me, so they'll never be in a game I run (there might be gore in a fight, but never in a sexual connotation). Rape is something I won't include unless a player dm's me to say that they're okay with it, same with stuff like sexual slavery. There was a sex slave arc in the Star Wars rp, but it only happened because unisol and I discussed that idea beforehand.
Portrait: Link Name: Chitsukiko Yokuboo Gender: Female Age: 23 Appearance: Various charms and talismans hang from her clothes. A katana and wakizashi are constant companions. Sexual Orientation: Bisexual Personality/History: Born under an auspicious red moon. Weakened after an extended period of sickness, her mother used the last of her strength to safely deliver Chitsukiko before passing away. Distraught by his wife's death, the father in his sadness cursed at the babygirl, saying she bore a vicious oni spirit, and, spitting bile as did, named after the blood moon. He eventually recovered from this bout of insanity, but he couldn't quite bear to look his daughter in the eye, and his words of praise were hollow as Chitsukiko grew up. On her birthday, Chitsukiko visits the family shrine to exchange the gofu from the previous year for a new one, then covering the paper talisman in a satchel that will never leave her side until the same day the following year. For the deeply spiritual woman, there's a comfort to be found in the rituals that fill her life. Recently, Chitsukiko found herself drawn to the teachings of the wise monk Soishu, though so far been able to reconcile them with the virtues of Bushido and the institutions ordering society according to the Emperors' divine mandate. After her father disappeared, Chitsukiko was taken in by her aunt, Midori. The teen was an eager student, absorbing much of the onna-bugeisha orthodox views. Submissive at her core, she imagines herself as a bow, rigid and taunt, but bending according to the pull of its righteous wielder, and eschewed the modern nanban gunpowder for mastery of the traditional weapon. Her sense of identity and self-worth as a noble warrior spring from her service to the clan and the patriarch. In conducting herself with compassion and honesty towards her clan, Chitsuko also earns the respect of the ancestor spirits that watch over them. Including her mother. Occupation: Samurai Relation to the Patriarch: Niece (Senzan's daughter) Forbidden: Scat Skills: Archery: 2; Athletics: 1; Riding: 1; Swordsmanship: 1 Stats: Wealth: 1; Prestige: 1 Spoiler: Char Image Tempted to make her the daughter of Senzan and make his backstory more miserable. Is that fine?
I made some changes to my charcter sheet. I might make more later, after some thinking. Still haven't found a picture I like.
Portrait ( Name: Inazuma Yokuboo Gender: Female Age: 27 Appearance: Sexual Orientation: Bisexual Personality/History: Inazuma was a daughter of lord Yokuboo and one of his Mistress from Rai clan. Since young age, she have to prove her skills and loyaty for the clan and she rival with many others clan members in doing their mission. Inazuma was seleted for ninja training with others children, but only she and two others managed to pass throught all way. Others fall down. Her first mission was scout to fing bandits lair for Midori forces in the mountain and Inazuma managed to succed her task complety, not only by finding bandits hideout, but also by killing all guards what let Midori to suprise them complety and destroy it. Since then, Inazuma was accepted as family name but her goal is still far away from her. She want to break curse from her line and that is why she in the same time hate her father, lord Jurobei and She is loyal to him. Inazuma hope he will one day take off spell, but in the same time she looking for relase in her own way. Occupation: Ninja Relation to the Patriarch: stepsister to Midori (same father, differnt mothers) Skills: Swordsmanship: 1; Acrobatic: 1; Magic: 1; Throwing weapon: 1; sneaking: 1; Magic: Shadow walking jutsu - Being able to stay hidden by using shadows and sneak around enemy, ewen in open field Shadow clone jutsu - creating one clone of herself, and giving her simple comands to distract enemies. Stats: Wealth: 1; Prestige: 1 (question - by acrobatic I mean jumping and falling of hight places without damage, and climbing on hight places like treas, walls, fortress. It is enought for character card? )
Looks good so far. Acrobatics is a valid skill, yes. Question, though: Do you have anything for the forbidden section? You don't have to, but in case you think of anything, feel free.
So not sure what her relationship to the patriarch would be. Since she personally probably remembers most of the clan since they were babies, and from their perspective, it's more or less that she's always been around, she probably has a certain kind of elder role, though it's possible she's not necessarily the wise variety. Like not sure what the relationship would be. I assume Midori and the family would be aware of what Koyumi is, but since she's grown up around it, it's just not too interesting to them . Maybe there's a slight mentor role, but I don't know by how much. It's possible that they don't necessarily listen.
Portrait: Spoiler: Lustful Spoiler: and Murderous Name: Kyouka Mitsurugi Gender: Female Age: 28 Appearance: Flowing red hair, beautiful yet frightening face, with blood red eyes, and seductive pink lips. Slightly above average height, with large breasts, and a curvy body. Along with long toned legs, and meaty thighs. She's always seen in public wearing her armored full bodysuit, with her katana. Eliciting fear, lust, or both to everyone that sees her. Sexual Orientation: Bisexual Personality/History: Born to a clan that was absorbed into the Yokuboo just before she was born, Kyouka's father was determined to regain their clan's independence. Even if it meant putting each and everyone of his children through hellish training the moment they learned to walk. Engraving tactics, sword arts, martial arts, and even magic to his children's minds and bodies. Kyouka and her six older siblings were far from normal, each developing an eccentric attitude matching their abilities. Kyouka grew up to be a hedonist, whether it be the pleasure of flesh, or the thrill of battle. She gained infamy for using her body as bait to search for opponents. "Win and spend a night with me! Lose and spend an eternity in hell!" A phrase which amounted to dozens of dead men, with a few lucky ones experiencing heaven for a whole night. Though even that lifestyle proved to bore her, urging Kyouka to seek out greater thrills, and different ways of fighting. Heading for the island of Santila, where the destructive weapons known as "guns" were being shipped in, and traded. Kyouka searched for an instructor which could properly teach her how to use firearms properly. The redhead found herself to be proficient with the musket. Spending a few years in Santila to study, and practice among the riflemen of the island. Kyouka gained some knowledge about maintaining her rifle, and even repairing simple damages. News of her father's death soon reached her ears, though Kyouka harbored no loving feelings for him. He was still the reason she was who she was today, making her return back to her homeland to pay respects. And maybe catch up with how her siblings have been doing. Occupation: Samurai Relation to the Patriarch: None Forbidden: Scat, diapers, permanent physical transformation. Skills: Swordsmanship: 3 Marksmanship (Guns): 1 Tactician: 1 Agility: 1 Perverted stamina boost: 1 Magic: "Magic? Let's see which is faster, my blade, or your spell!" -Kyouka, moments before she decapitated a spellcasting bandit. Stats: Wealth: 5, Prestige: 5.
