Hiii~ Welcome to Fushigi Jinsei! This is a reincarnation RPG set in modern Japan. This RP is nearly the same as one I ran previously (which totally failed). I think in a community like this, it will do much better and we'll have more knowledgable RPers ^_______^
Setting
Japan, 199X (post OVA, let's pretend Eikoden doesn't exist). The Suzaku and Seiryuu Seishi have been reborn into Miaka's world (follow your Miko to where she'll need you). By chance and circumstance, they have never run into each other, and many don't remember their past lives. All of that changes when two otherworldly beings arrive to challenge the seishi for the power of the gods.
Back Story
These 'otherwordly beings' come from a parallel dimension where the seishi do not exist, and one sole person acts as the hand and mouth of his/her beast god, they are called the Avatars of God. Civil power wars have claimed the lives of the Genbu and Byakko Avatars, and with the collapse of their own world, the two remaining Avatars have employed dark magic to open a portal into another dimension, and escape their doom. But in this new world, however, they are not the sole representatives of the gods. Ego driven and corrupted by power, the Avatars seek out the seishi with the intent to kill, and regain the full power of the beast gods they represent. With their entrance into Miaka's world, and their determination to kill the seishi, things could get messy, and this is where our story beings.

Rules
1. Read everything in this post!
2. Only apply for a character if you are at least a semi experienced RPer and/or know the series very well.
3. No gender switching for the reincarnated seishi (sorry Nuriko fans).
4. Reincarnated seishi do not have to be like their past selves (you can change ages, personalities, looks, etc.) BUT- they should be similar enough to make some sort of connection (ie- Tasuki obviously wouldn't be a bandit in modern times, but he could be in a gang).
5. Reincarnated seishi who had signature weapons or items may somehow mysteriously find them (in the attic, pawn shop, garbage can, etc) but might not understand the significance.
6. No godmoding! No, you are not all powerful. No, you are not immortal. Yes, no matter cool and strong you are, you can get hurt.
7. No killing other players without somehow working it out with them before hand. NPC's are okay (within reason, no wiping out large populations). Please refrain from killing yourself or choosing to die.
8. Post as often as possible. If you don't post at least once a week without informing me as to why, you may be replaced.
9. You don't have to Paragraph RP, but please be descriptive and use good spelling and grammar.
10. Try to make the personalities (and occupations) of the characters diverse. If you need some ideas, PM me, I have loads.
11. PG-13 onegaishimasu.
12. If you are pre-designated character (ie- Miaka, Yui, Taka), stick to it! No randomly changing attributes of your character.
13. No MADE-UP characters. With the way you can design your seishi, you shouldn't need made-up characters. But heck, if you can convince me that you absolutely must play one, I may be swayed.
14. One character per person.
15. PM me any questions or character applications. First come first serve, always have a second character in mind incase you don't get your first choice!
16. Have fun, keep it clean. Be funny, not stupid.

Hongo Yui- Rihga
The Avatar of Suzaku- Ameko no Mori
The Avatar of Seiryuu- Nakago
Sukunami Taka (Tamahome)-
Hotohori- Kitty Little
Nuriko-
Chichiri- Talon the Diamond Star
Tasuki- Rihga (also Kouji)
Mitsukake- Lady Dawnstar (also Shoka)

Other characters like Keisuke and Tetsuya may be used later, on the rare chance that all the other characters get filled up (unless you're dying to play one, which again, I may be swayed if you can convince me). Also, I may eventually throw in the Genbu & Byakko seishi. I know some of you are big fans of them, but for the moment we'll leave it mainstream, and if we have enough people wanting to RP them after the cast list is full, I'll think about figuring some way to involve the other seishi.
Applications
~Miko Application~
Name: (Miaka or Yui)
God: (Suzaku or Seiryuu)
Sorry, that's about it for them, their personalities and the like should be like the OVAs. Haven't seen the OVAs? Don't play the characters.
~Seishi Application~
Character Name: (last name, first name)
Seishi Name:
Age:
Occupation: (student, doctor, your mom, etc)
Appearance:
Personality:
(this is for all seishi except Tamahome, who is a character who already exists. If you want to play him, just let me know and stick to the OVA personality (and by OVA I don't mean the first one, think end of the last one, but not Eikoden))
~Avatar Application~
Character Name: (last name, first name)
God: (Seiryuu or Suzaku)
Age:
Appearance:
Personality:
Power: (keep it reasonable, you used to have all the power of your god, but that isn't true in this world, so you aren't all powerful)
Sample Application (mine)
Character Name: Chuugi, Ryu
Seishi Name: Tomo
Age: 21
Occupation: Model
Appearance: Ryu has a leethe, 6' frame with cascading black hair and golden-brown eyes.
Personality/Background: He seems to be all business; serious, stand-offish and solitary. His friends are few and far between, and he does not make them easily. Ryu was forced into the modeling business by his parents at an early age, and he must have grown up too fast. His non-serious side is only shown through his music, which he writes in the privcy of his own home, and never shows anyone.

Some babblings...
This kind of RPG is something like a fanfic I always wanted to write, so I hope that everyone enjoys it!!
Oh, in case anybody's curious, the jinsei in the title Fushigi Jinsei means 'life'. In Fushigi Yuugi, it starts out as sort of a game to Miaka, she accepts the postion as Miko so she can get good grades, eat lots of food, have a sexy body, and get home. It was a means to an end. By putting Jinsei in the title I'm trying to imply that this is not a game, it's life, but life is what you make it ^_^ Well, it makes sense to me....
UPDATES
Take a look at that! All of the Seiryuu characters are now taken! We only have a few more left to go! What's up with that? I thought everybody love the Suzaku more? Usually Suzaku seishi are the first to be taken in an RPG. Weird.... Nuriko of all people is still open. What the heck?
Same story, different book. Will you turn the page?

~Avatar Application~
Character Name: Seraphim, Eilla
God: Suzaku
Age: 17
Appearance: Eilla has long, dark red hair, flowing in a pony tail past her waist, along with peircing yellow eyes. Her figure is full, but not overly, and she is of about an average height for her age. Yet, her clothing creates the illusion that she's taller than she trully is.
Personality: She was always a rather cold individual, because she has been ostracized within her own world. She has teamed up, for the most part, with the Seiryu avatar mainly to gain access into the world she now inhabits, the world of the seishi. In actuality, concidering how most people have seemed to hate her, she hates nearly everybody. She didn't actually obtain her powers as an avatar until a mere year ago, so the power and respect are new to her, and she mostly cannot tolerate her followers.
Power: Her powers being rather limited in this world, she merely has the ability to spontaneously create fire, as well as to fly.
((Already joined.. figured I'd post the info ^^; wink )

The heavens opened, emitting a piercing light, and a young woman, long red hair fluttering in the power she has created, ascended to the earth, landing without a noise. Then the distortions pulled back closed, leaving no trace, aside from the girl herself. All of this happened within a brief moment. She was aware that, somewhere nearby, her nemesis had just done the same. Yet, Eilla moved through this strange world with an uncaring humor. Looking at a nearby building, she frowned. "Hideous thing," she muttered, then, drawing out a palm, extended it to the floor. Her eyes opened bright red, along with a glowing symbol on her brow, and she pushed hard, only resulting in the pulling of her wrist muscle. She appeared shocked for a brief moment, until she realised her power had been limited. Limited power could only mean another avatar of the same god. She had not considered such could be possible in a new world. Her senses seemed distorted though, and it was then that she realised the avatar's powers were dispersed to more than one being. Eight in particular.

((oh boy ^^))
Eilla was wandering about the city, following the strange new sense of Suzaku this was and that, being pulled in all directions at once, yet in some slightly harder at different times. She was still in her foreign attire, and the cold chill of this world was getting to her. This was utterly disturbing and obnozious, considering how Suzaku was supposed to keep her warm. Such didn't seem the case at that moment.

(((Oh boy Indeed. Had so much fun thinking up that intro... 3nodding 3nodding 3nodding ))) Kigen Kenryoku (Nakago) ::Kigen narrowed his eyes ominously as he stepped off the dock and onto the street:: Eilla Seraphim (Ameko no Mori) Eilla was wandering about the city, following the strange new sense of Suzaku this was and that, being pulled in all directions at once, yet in some slightly harder at different times. She was still in her foreign attire, and the cold chill of this world was getting to her. This was utterly disturbing and obnozious, considering how Suzaku was supposed to keep her warm. Such didn't seem the case at that moment.
::He turned another corner and then focused his attention next on that which he had been neglecting from the get-go. Suzaku. She would be here...she had to be. The dark magicks should have brought them both here. He stopped at a bus stop bench and sat down. After his earlier experiences concerning his abilitys, he didn't want to take any risks. He relaxed and was about to begin to try to use some when a bus pulled up, and opened its door. He stared at it for a moment, and the busdriver gave him a funny look::"Well buddy...you going to get on or what?" ::Kigen looked at the bus driver and then to the bus. It had a few people, though not many. More than he wished to be around when testing his limits::
"No. I will not be getting on""Suit yourself" ::The busdriver shruged and then the doors closed and the bus pulled away into the street.:: ::Kigen watched as the strange vehicle, apparently for transportation drove off. He knew not how it moved, or why, but off it went. Other vehicles also passed down the road on both sides, paying him little attention if any at all. He tried to focus, but nothing came. All he could feel we the strange prescence of Seiryuu, divided, and not centered about him. He turned his focus from the Avatar of Suzaku to this fact again, as he needed to come to grips with it. Had Seiryuu abandoned him? Surely not! Save for the use of the dark powers to come here...he had been ever faithful and true to Seiryuu...and besides, had they not done so...he undoubtably would be dead now...and Seiryuu's power gone forever. except...it seemed to be here...through...well...not him!::
::Either way Seiryuu had not abandoned him...not completely anyway. He was still able to feel the power of Seiryuu in himself, and had used it in saving himself earlier. Though again..he was perplexed...back where he came from...he wouldn't have even had to think about walking across the air to get from one place to the next. These unknown "other's" he could feel must be draining him of Seiryuu's power!!! That must be it!!! They were draining the power of Seiryuu, which was rightfully his.::
'They have tainted the power of Seiryuu. I cannot let this continue...'
::with this new reslove, he stood and began to walk again, his eyes narrowing and the character appearing on his forhead for the first time since he came here... "Seiryuu" glowed a bright blue::

Obviously I was already accepted, but I wanted to follow suit in giving stats. I have kept my personality and history secret so others might learn it in charecter. sweatdrop 3nodding
Charecter Name: Charles Takena
Seishi Name: Chichiri
Age: 16
Occupation: Student
Appearance: Typical schoolboy . . . uniform while in school, but out of it he is rather casual. Usual garb for him would be a Manga shirt (Tee shirt with manga/anime charecters on it), jeans, and sneakers. His hair is light blue, and eyes are a deep brown. The hair style is kept rather short, with a long braid of hair going down his back- the only part of his har that has never been cut. The braid at it's thickest point is no thicker than a half inch.
This day is much like so many others. Wake up, do some chores, then leave for the library. Charles has spent the majority of his life in bookstores and libraries. Born to a Japanese father and an American mother, he always felt like he was out of place. Neither fully in one cultural world, nor the other, he only felt at home in a place where culture holds no real influence. Knowledge.
Dressed in a tee shirt featuring the Bubblegum Crisis anime, a worn pair of jeans, a leather jacket, and a pair of sneakers, he is hardly going to stand out in society. Charles liked it that way. Despite walking across town the same route for years, few people recognized him. If any. One person that does know him, though, is the librarian. With a warm smile she waves to him on his way in.
Returning the wave and smiling shyly to her, Charles moves on to the section where the latest newspapers are. One typical practice of his was to read his horoscope. When the world seems divided on what to do with you, he figured that the heavens would help. They are the same to the globe . . . the stars do not discriminate. Pulling together several resources, the boy of 16 years is faced with yet another problem. Which one to use?
The American horoscope would use his time of the year . . . the Chinese one would use his birth year alone . . . perhaps he should just flip a coin. It is about this time that a strange thing happened. Several claps of thunder come from outside. The patrons of the library look to the windows, and are confused by a clear sky, Charles included. No storms were forcast for the week, much less today. Around the same time a strange pull began to nag at him.
Indellible, and undenyable- something was calling him, but what? Never feeling anything like this before, Charles wonders silently if he is imagining it, if he is just going nuts. Scooting his chair silently out from under the table, he looks down to place his hands on it and rise. At least, he would have risen from his seat if not for seeing his knee glowing. Glowing!!!
The mark itself is blurred, thanks to the jeans, but there is no doubt. To him at least, there is a mark actively glowing on his knee. It does not hurt- if anything there is a gentle warmth coming from his knee . . . sort of comfortable and reassuring. There is something else too. It is hard to describe, like before it is like a pull. Something is calling him.
No . . . this is nuts. Time and time again he has read about things like this, magical things, in his manga and novels. Things like that just don't happen in the real world. Walking back out, trying not to draw attention, even he does not realize that his talent for that has increased. Moving from shadow to shadow, nobody realizes that twice, instead of walking past a shadow he actually walks through it and emerges somewhere else.
Exiting the building, Charles makes his way back home. Convinced that he must be imagining things, he does not even notice the world around him. That pull seems to like him going in this way. It's nagging urge seems to lessen for a time. That pull almost goes away as he walks down the road, then suddenly grows very strong as he moves on to the next block. So lost is he in his thoughts that he does not realize the few curious onlookers on the opposite side of the street around a woman.
A woman with long, dark red hair, flowing in a ponytail past her waist. An alluring woman with piercing yellow eyes . . .

Those piercing yellow eyes then turned towards the young man in a single flicker. She had felt him coming nearer, she had felt the piece of Suzaku's power moving closer towards her, yet she had decided to await his approach. Standing in one place, people had begun to gather. Yet, the instant her eyes had caught this stranger, they began to glow faintly. There was no doubt in her mind. This boy had some sort of grasp of Suzaku's powers. How he had achieved such was beyond her, though. WIth a single leap, she bounds over the spectators, who gasp in fright. "You," she says, landing within a foot of the young man. Her brows furrow deeply. "Tell me your relations to the power that belongs to me? It would seem that you have stolen some."

Concentrating on getting home in the least time possible, only the shouts of a crowd from across the street hearalded her coming. looking straight ahead, Charles is caught off guard by the sudden appearance of a lovely woman. Before he even has a chance to say anything she speaks- "You, tell me your relations to the power that belongs to me. It would seem that you have stolen some."
Before he can even begin to reply, his knee starts to grow warm- so warm that it is no longer comfortable. The pull from before is strong. Evidently he is drawn to this . . . person. Staring hard into the yellow eyes, Charles straightens up and tries to be intimidating, failing utterly in the process.
"Stolen? First, I have not stolen a single thing in my life. Second, what in the hell are you? People don't just appear out of nowhere! Third, I don't have the foggiest idea what you are talking about. I don't have any powers!" Somewhere in his heart, however, that dormant part of him remembers . . . and on an unconcious level, he knows that this person is powerful. He knows that he should get away- quickly.
