OK, we are officially in Episode II, that means the new characters that got profiles approved can starting planning their starting point.
As of now, I'll describe some settings and terms we used to be used, and will use now in WUFtD.
Mana(魔力)Mana in this RP works a little like the same-named concept from Fate/Stay Night series. For starters, it's like your stamina or energy. Gensokyo the space is mana-filled because this space is literally a space of illusion, where mana takes top priority. In the human world (Real World as we start in), there is no such thing in the air, thus your partners are directly feeding off your stamina. Which can be dreadful if your partner decided to spam their spellcards. Also, since you and your character are linked emotionally, if you let your partner drift too far (either physically or emotionally) it will eventually spell doom for your partner as they cannot live without or with a severed link.
And no, exchanging body fluids won't recover your or your partner's mana.
Easier thinking: Think that you have a Health bar and an Energy bar, your partner require EN to function, and if you run out of EN you cannot move or do anything, but you won't have problems (hopefully, see GM's Direction below).
My OC, Amarillo Viridian, didn't run off mana but rather her own Life. that aside everything works the same as the other OCs. Thinking a character that have ONE bar as both HP and EN, and maximum EN is capped at Current HP, and you get the idea.
Kamisuiwa/Karuisuwa Town (神訪鎮)(both spelling is acceptable.)
This is the main base the original OCs used in Season 1, and the early part of Season 2 is also happening here. It's a small, fictional town by Lake Suwa in Nagano Prefecture. Known for its tourist attractions and beautiful scenery this town is a popular target for tourists. The Shinto Shrine known as Saniwa Shrine - comes with an onsen and an inn - is located at the outskirts of the town by the lake, while Amarillo's "old operation base" - Tourist Helpers the convenient shop is located at the corner of the Town Square. The outskirts of the town is also home of ......
RAI Operational Research Facility codenamed "GRAVEYARD"A research facility that plays a part in Season 1 as soldiers of RAI quickly gathered together and starting searching the initial Gensokyo Refugees. Eventually, with the help of some lost technology that's discovered in the basement of Saniwa Shrine, left by an entity only known as "The Covenant". The Gensokyo Refugees gathered their strength and decided to raid Graveyard via a underground tunnel. The plan horribly backfired and results aren't pretty. After dealing with the raid, the current leader of the Facility, a young man with a huge ego and a mysterious superpower that call himself "Diamond" has been sent out for a recon mission, though he's ordered back by his higher-ups.
And obviously, this Research Facility is belonged to...
RAIA Special Operation Squad that belonged to the Japanese Government, they started amassing energy from other worlds for unknown reasons(destroying them in the process) since a strange woman find her way onto the higher-up ranks of the government. Their most recent target is Gensokyo.
That's pretty much everything the newcomers NEED to know, that is touched and explained in Season 1 and probably won't get mentioned for the
2nd time in the story itself.
Below are information that links Amarillo to Season 1. If anybody wants to know - or wants to refresh their memories.
Chrono Agents(時空特使)The faction Amarillo was in, Chrono Agents are a group of people that allies with the peace-loving groups of various worlds in order to prevent their own world's destruction via another enemy (has no real plot importance in this story) Amarillo Viridian is ranked 04 in the Genetic Altered Team, though before Season 1 happened she retired since she got tired from all the fighting. Since Chrono Agent's cross-world peacekeeper nature it has become a target for various wrong-doers. Currently, Chrono Agents is allied with Little Busters and Spacetime Organization G's Angel Squadron.
GA-05 Heavenly "Jason Zhao" StarThis 15-year-old boy with a huge golden sword was Amarillo's partner sent by Chrono Agents to help her with the entire Gensokyo takeback mission. He is tragically erased from the current timeline in the "Graveyard raid".
Gensokyo Takeback Mission (幻想鄉奪還作戰)Amarillo's way of describing This RP's main events, that's all.
and below are even LESS important information, but if you read through above, then it won't hurt to read on.
GM Director's HumorYeah I know that it's hard to balance things with a massive multiplayer RP. We hope that all the players can balance themselves in terms of character and power growth. If something is unbalanced, you'll likely fell victim of twisted fate....whatever that may mean.Information of Season 1 can be found here:
