Ink & Sorcery

@inkandsorcery-rp

In a small village in the Tokyo rural area there's a particular street no one walks by or pays much attention to. The locals say strange things often happen there without explanation or cause and at night, creatures that are half human and half demon dance and shout to their heart's content. There are not many shops, a simple street with an inkshop whose owner is oddly unlucky, a pharmacy where there are herbs for all kinds of ailments, and a library with books in languages long forgotten by the humans. You'd do well to avoid this small street, unless of course, you're an Yokai yourself... Then, my friend, come join us. • { Ink and Sorcery is a twitter based Haikyuu roleplay group. We are currently OPEN. } • Mobile Navigation

Announcement:

Due to unfortunate circumstances, the applications have been closed for longer than expected. However, as we mods try to balance real life issues and this fun roleplay group, here’s what we decided: For the rest of August, the submit box and applications are Open for current members only. We hope that by September things will have settled down enough that we can go back to business fully! Thanks for the patience, guys!

Yamaguchi Tadashi | Amefurikozō | Male | Bookseller

“It wasn’t so much that Yamaguchi loved to see people troubled by the weather, but when it wasn’t raining, people paid very little attention to him. Yet, making friends was difficult when people only seemed to want to get out of the rain. It was a lonely life, but he served the rain god with no verbal complaints. It was his duty, after all.

One day, while stirring up a downpour, Yamaguchi heard a young voice crying out for their mother and father. Sensing his chance to help, as well as his chance to make a friend, he followed the voice. Yet, no matter how close he seemed to come to it, he could never find the child. Eventually, Yamaguchi wandered off so far that not even he knew where he was. Night soon fell, and Yamaguchi found himself falling into a familiar routine of approaching those who were caught in the storm.

Yamaguchi set out in the following days to find his way back, but had no idea how far he had gone, or from which direction he had come. His only hope was that the rain god, for whom he had served loyally, and for so long, would come calling him back. Days passed into weeks, weeks into months. It was through his routine to help others, his kindness, and his love for poetry (particularly poetry that spoke reverently about the rain) that he found work in a small used bookstore in an alleyway—seemingly tucked away from the hustle of the city. Slowly, he settled into a new life, only occasionally reminiscing about the child he never found, and the former master who never came looking for him.”

Sugawara Koushi | Human | Male | Shopkeeper

“Life was full of wondrous things. Life also included death, reincarnation, rebirth, and the like. Sugawara saw life as an endless cycle. You never really ‘die’ in this world. At least, that’s what he grew up believing. Cover to cover, page after page, his nose was always buried deep in a book or two. He’d read in the morning, before meals, and before bed. He had to know the origins workings of all life on this Earth. Although, his life wasn’t bound by studies.

Potions. Spells. Charms. He knew it all. He’s practiced them day and night ever since he could talk. Sugawara’s whole life has been dedicated to perfecting his craft and being aware of the world around him. Part of that was also continuing the family business; a potions shop. It sounded like a lot; dealing with daily life, being young, studying, and just about everything else, but he enjoyed it. Most teenagers would despise it all– maybe even rebel against society and attempt to throw away all responsibility. Sugawara wasn’t like that. Sugawara stood out.

Sugawara had no fear, no worries. Just a will to live and learn as much as he can in this life that he had. He had to do all he could before being brought into the next life. He had a desire to be fulfilled. That’s why there’s no surprise when he finds himself wandering into what seems like uncharted territory, though he’s in for something much bigger than him ahead.”

Daishō Suguru | Binbōgami | Male | Merchant

“Daishō, like all gods, was born from a wish. He doesn’t recall first time he heard someone pray to a Binbōgami, doesn’t remember how or when exactly he first came into being, nor did he particularly care. Time and age doesn’t matter to the immortal. His early life – all that he could recall – had been relatively peaceful. He never existed in one place for very long, travelling from town to town, revealing himself to the human eye for just long enough to bring misfortune to those unlucky enough to see him. Once he’d taken everything from them, he’d disappear and move on.

It wasn’t until a few years ago, perhaps half a century or so, that Daishō came across a village that seemed to be brimming with something much different from anywhere else he’d been before. This village had magic. It was infested with it, and despite how long he stayed, the magic never seemed to disappear like the riches of the towns he’d passed through before.

With a seemingly endless prayer to grant there, Daishō decided to stay and take as much of the fortune from this village as he could. He found a street, a quiet, desolate street, and set up a shop, buying and selling artifacts from the Yōkai and humans who passed through. Of course, those who came in always left with less than they had to start.”

Announcement:

While we are so happy for the new applications (you guys are great), the influx has been overwhelming to us mods, so we are CLOSING the submit box and character reservations for the next two weeks. This doesn’t mean the group is closing!! Far from it, it’s just to allow us proper time to welcome all the new members and adjust to things so this group can continue to be fun and enjoyable to everyone.

Thanks for the understanding!

#mod speaks;#FAQ;

Tanaka Ryuunosuke | Hanyo | Male | Kindergarten Teacher

“Born a child of two worlds and son of Sarugami, the Monkey King, Ryunosuke didn’t know where to fit in for a very long time. Both he and his sister were children of love, wanted by both of their parents and lived thus a stable home, but lacked in any other kind of social environment. His fearsome looks often kept the human children his age away, while his lack of power made him distinctively different from fellow yokai. Despite his delinquent-like behaviour and appearance, Ryu is caring and harbours a deep love for justice.

Once he was old enough to do so, he decided to travel and help people to give his life a positive purpose. It was only once his older sister Saeko opened up a small convenience store, in a place she claimed safe for people like the two of them, that he decided to settle down again. Much to his surprise, he was offered a job at the local kindergarten after he displayed great aptitude for work there. If he’s not tending to his little monkeys he can usually be found helping his sister out with shop work. Neither too quietly.”

Hinata Shōyō | Ibaraki-dōji | Male | Baker

“Hinata never had an easy life. Abandoned by his mother, a monster of a child born after 18 difficult months, he grew up in a barber shop adopted by a childless old woman. Even if he truly did want to help her, even if he wanted to repay for the kindness, in the end, that blood stain he licked from his own fingers awakened the oni in his body that was bestowed upon him by his very own father. Becoming an oni was a horrible process to him, draining him of will to live and if not for becoming a servant of Shuten-doji, he would have not found peace.

He served for a long time the older Onis, his talents despite the young age becoming very known in the gang of monsters as they ravaged Kyoto, until bad news came. Warriors, disguised as priests, slaughtered all of the Onis including the Shuten-doji, and Hinata, fearing for his life, managed to escape.

He travelled for a long time then, centuries even, to end up in a small town where other yōkais peacefully lived together. Third time’s a charm, they say. Even after mastering his human disguise Hinata is still very conscious of actually being a yōkai. Maybe finding that empty bakery would do something good in his life for once?”
