Welcome to the Flux!

We're a single-thread RPG/Creative Writing/Arts/hang out and chat forum! We welcome anything you've got to show us, from arts, crafts, graphics, sprites, to fanfic, original stories, novels, short stories, to RPGs, or if you just want to hang out and chat with us, you're more then welcome. We offer a variety of boards across the forum, so you're sure to find a place to fit in somewhere.

More of the lurker type? I'm sure you'll find some good browsing material! But please don't be a stranger, head down to find the source of that incessant clicking: The C-box. You're sure to find someone to chat with there!

The Flux was built by a former RPG-community, so expect lots of activity there. However, after we moved on from our last site we decided to expand.

We have a helpful, dedicated staff, ready and willing to answer questions, or offer help with whatever you need, whenever you need it.

So don't be shy, come on in, introduce yourself, and become a part of our laid-back community. But don't forget to look over the rules.

I'm sure some of you have heard of Kyoukai no Kanata (Beyond the Boundary), or have watched it. I would be among the latter though. The general idea of "lightscape" is based on the settings of Kyoukai no Kanata, basically put:

Based in a world where youmu (literally means "catastrophic illusions") and humans live together. Youmus are strange creatures that can either be hostile and not, depending on their nature, but are often invisible to normal humans who do not possess Spirit World abilities. Youmus, once hunted and killed, turn into a stone manifestation. For those who possess Spirit World abilities, they are often advised to become Spirit World Warriors, and most choose this path as a part-time job. These Spirit World Warriors carry around Warrior License, in order so that their activities are controlled, and they may only engage with youmus as long as they have their license active. After hunting youmus, often, they bring the stone manifestation of these youmus to an appraiser, in order to gain money.

If there's any story to pitch in, well, you're welcome to! If there are any questions regarding any of the terms above, feel free to ask as well. I haven't gotten many things down as of yet, but I was thinking this could be a very light RP idea, and I can throw in some random quests whenever needed. But yeah, it works as a base to build on character relationships and interactions as well as how they work together, I'm sure.

Alright, considering that I promised a little more ideas;

It seems like we're all okay with a range of characters - regardless of background and age, characters may be from outside the settings, and they might or might not have Spirit World Warrior License. If those who don't have a License are caught fighting against spirits, then they should either be interrogated or they should register for a License. Difference is, most licensed Warriors would have to report every sightings of Youmus to their nearest appraiser. Unlicensed Warriors often power up their weapons and abilities with the stone manifestation of Youmus. Weapons and abilities are more often than not controlled by the Spirit World Society, which sends different watchers all over the different states to supervise the Spirit World Warriors.

Unlicensed Warriors are often considered criminals due to their desire to not report sightings of Youmus and that they often choose to power themselves up rather than use the Youmus to gain money and feed themselves. Often, they don't work together and are of people with personal agendas. Often, in order to maintain the camarederie between Spirit World Warriors, social events are held by the Society.

Despite the control of Youmus and supervision, Youmus are sometimes friendly and can actually take up a human appearance in order to attend school with the humans.

Any... thing I should add though?

I like it so far, but a few question are in order...

What you mean for 'outside the setting'? Like 'characters that aren't meant to be Spirit Hunters' or 'Yusuke Urameshi and Kazuma Kuwabara are coming for a stroll'?

Also, what's the take on friendly Youmus? There can be Human-Youmu hybrids? Are they safe from the Spirit Hunters or who the SL license is one to kill any of them?

This bring up the rogue hunters as well... What happens precisely when they are caught? They get interrogated but after that? There is a way to remove their hunting abilities or they get killed?

Outside the setting as in that, people who are outside the main setting of the story. Basically, they can come from any other parts of the world and join in the main setting halfway through the story, etc.

Human-Youmu hybrids are often scorned and watched over, and are immortal. Once angered, they are often more dangerous than even the dangerous of Youmus. Youmus who are friendly are often pure Youmus that have mastered the art of illusion. They are often safe from Spirit Warriors, as they are sometimes even assistants to these Warriors. The appraiser for hunted Youmus are also Youmu themselves.

Rogue hunters, if they have decided to not take on the license are often executed in silence by the Society, as people are born with hunting abilities; hunting abilities cannot be taken away. Otherwise, some rogue hunters can be sent away to take on a private mission given by the Society (as even the Society itself can be corrupted, and sometimes use people as pawns).

The presence of friendly youmus and potential hybrids/rogue hunters and the like gives me a good deal of character ammunition to work with, I will admit.

This sounds like a solid idea to me, I'd like to see more on it. But I would be down no matter the idea!
