A Ghibli inspired roleplay

ALRIGHT LETS GO


CONCEPT: CHECK


[inspiration drawn from following movies:]

  • Spirited Away
  • Princess Mononoke
  • Howls Moving Castle


Basic plot: There is a spirit world converging on the human one, and the spirits arent too happy with what humans have done with the world. There is a select few of wizards/ special people who can see the spirits and are trying to keep peace, etc


Things we know:


The world is called Swynwilde
 
Whelp I think that's all we need to know


Do the spirits outnumber the people and are they all tired of humans being humans or are there some who are a bit more sympathetic to them?
 
Alright, so the developing begins:


I think they should., and yes, some of them are benevolent. Perhaps some have already settled in the human world and pose as magicians and gypsies and psychics etc.


Im thinking that the plot should revolve in a group of people enlisted by the king. Maybe there will be one big and important spirit that they has been inhabiting the human world so they must go appeal to it?
 
I am consistently slow in my replies


Right-o. So all spirits are well aware of the humans that they're all kinda intermixing with while only few humans are privy to the existence of spirits.


The HBIC spirit would then be impartial towards or an advocate of the increasingly aggressive spirits (I'm not sure whether or not there's simply tension between spirits and humans - however oblivious - or if they're already being attacked) and the little syndicate is there to dissuade its neutrality/aggression?


Perhaps HBIC spirit - which is a perfect dub, I know - either accepts or is all "nah. Eff that." (Be it openly or under the guise that they've obligated) and messes with them or sends their goons on 'em.
 
hbic?


hobos bowing in canoes?


im loving your vocabulary. slay me


yes
 
I like how that in context and with all things considered Hobos Bowing In Canoes is the first thing that comes to mind.


But c'mon. You of all people must know about Head Bitch In Charge


Yep I like to dabble between ghetto slang and stereotypical posh brit.


What a very vague answer Nym thank you
 
Oh okay


I like that, a lot.


Rev the posh redneck hoodlum


yes, rie, I believe so


so lets organize ideas by movie
 
If you ever use that acronym at least once in your future I'll be accomplished.


Well yes that's a great thing to ask me to do since I'm an expert on this


I'm going to let you start that off as I do elaborate digging into all of this
 
okay


spirited away:


-the bathhouse(?), spirits who embody nature, the night time thing, perhaps its the capital of the spirit world


princess mononoke:


-the forest full of demons and forest gods who, maybe they provide he link between the worlds


hmc:


-the king/queen and the royal enlisting of magicisians to fight for her. witches, moving castles, wizards, etc
 
My research accidentally turned into watching YouTube.


Right. All that jazz I follow


'Cept the nighttime thing - I know, like...what was the girl's name? San? Probably. She was supposed to leave before nightfall or whatever but I cannot for the life of me recall why
 
It's Sen apparently. San is also a thing. Hm. that's...fun.


Thank you kindly.


Anything else we should implement?
 
Oh right


sen is spirited away


san is from princess mononooke


idk yet, what do you think?
 
Yes. It's only natural for me, a 13 year old wooden boy, to aspire to be that super great human being.


I can't pass judgement on him really but he seems like such a douche. Which, y'know, if you like him that's just fine.


But you made me watch his Sorry video 3+ times and I won't forgive you for that.
