My Interest Check
Of course when someone says "we got saved by The Hinotori" they don't mean a massive phoenix swooped down to be a heroic friend. They're talking about a guild of formidable warriors from the lands of thunder and steel: Tonairie.
A guild that has lasted for five generations, not that joining this guild is easy by any stretch. One must pass two tests to be allowed a initial trial and before those tests even happen a prospective recruit needs a member of Hinotori (former/current) or a respected individual to approve of them.
A guild respected and feared, known far and wide from the largest mountain in Tonairie to the vast dense swamps of Gurgot... Chances are you or your family have heard something of Hinotori.

(Pictured here is the founding members of the Hinotori, Ashi Wakit at the top)

Moving on though,
In this world countless battles have been fought. The lands have been apart of many wars between themselves, though they have allied in times of need or great danger. Since the beginning of recorded history, none know of greater threats then the Demonic beasts.
Monsters of large size with violent tendencies that may have originally been regular animals at some point... The lands know demonic beasts are terrifying and destructive on the scale of natural diasaters. A example?

The demon wolf Haemorsis is very much the same as a bloody tornado of fangs and claws... It destroys anything in its path.

These demons are not invincible however, they have been slain only for them to appear elsewhere in the world once more.
What was once a technique designed to be a peaceful solution to a demonic confrontation became the precedent for pursuing power. Instead of slaying the Demon beast, seal it away inside a host or weapon. Learn to harness that monstrous power...
Ashi Wakit was one of the first and very few able to fully wield a demon beast, with a great demon phoenix sealed within him Ashi worked hard to become a renown warrior. It was Ashi in his travels who handpicked those to form the Hinotori guild in his prime. An though Ashi died many years ago the Hinotori still thrives to this day...

So of course when someone says "we got saved by The Hinotori" they don't mean a massive phoenix swooped in to be a friend. They're talking about a guild of formidable warriors from the lands of thunder and steel. While to hear the story of Ashi and those who formed the guild would be a grand tale, it is not where this story starts.

This story begins on a bloody page. The Kingdom of Mekkah having purchased a majority of the fighting forces in the deserts of Redaz as the ground force to invade multiple countries, with Redaz nomads as the soldiers and new terrifying weapons from Mekkah forces. It would seem as if war has been changed forever on a drastic scale.
Battles before being fought with swords, arrows, magic and martial arts.
The Mekkah have weapons that can shoot a man dead further than any arrow...
The Mekkah use bombs that cover large areas with eternal fire...
The Mekkah have even worse weapons yet to be reported on...

As one might have guessed the Hinotori have been hired to lend aid, by the king of Tonairie no less.
If you'd like to play making a sheet won't be hard, I'll post a cs page if this check gets more than two people posting how they would like to play.
Your character would be one of the newer recruits to the guild, ranging from a few years or few months of membership and finishing the last test/trial at the start of the rp.

The rp is about members of the Hinotori dealing with a Mekkah invasion hopefully before said war reaches Tonairie.

You may have wondered what I meant by magic which was mentioned before, put simple people are born with mana which makes magic happen by concentrating mana into a shape and form. Magic is a mix of genetics and effort.
Heritage determines inherent mana, the most common being the elements fire water earth wind and electricity. That doesn't mean other forms of magic aren't inherent. Like poison, shadows, illusions and much more.

Generally one has a inherent mana type they learn and perform easier than other magic. One born with fire mana can still learn ice magic, it's just easier for them to do fire magic.
Making magic happen depends on the training and individual. Some might use hand gestures and spoken word, some might draw their weapon finding it easier to manipulate magic through it.
There is various forms and styles of magic.

If you have questions ask them here or in a PM Like...

"can we have races aside from human?"
Short answer is no, there is animals that speak and can be rational/sentient/wise etc but you'll only be playing as one if you summon a monster/animal to serve your character. You wouldn't have the big wise wolf or elder dragon as your main character.

"Can I have the sharingan or rinnegan?"
Short answer is no, long answer is yes but with nerfs. Kekkei genkai, special eyes, traits, techniques etc only for one family is fine but a limit of some kind would be put in place to keep shit from being ridiculous.

"what's the post requirements?"
a Paragraph or more once a week. Maybe twice if everyone on board is invested.

Ask your own questions if you want a short answer and a long answer that isn't that much bigger in comparison to a short answer.

I'm also interested! I just wanted to know how magic works here? Are weapons infused with elements? What's the general parameters of use?

I'd really be interested in creating a martial arts character so I'm also wondering how magic would work for that battle style.

Also, one more question, how exactly do the demon regenerate? How long do they have until it regenerates? Is it like a hydra that keeps respawning limbs until it's been absorbed?

Thanks for your time! ^ ^
Thank you for asking great questions and being intrigued, to answer them as best as I can without writing huge amounts...

1) magic works in multiple ways so there isn't a correct or proper form/style. While one might solely use magic with their sword or staff it doesn't mean people can't shoot magic from their mouths or palms.
Generally a person is suited to a type or two of magic which they would find easier to learn.

2) like I said above magic can work in many ways, like how one might shoot fire from their sword, one can do similar things with martial arts. Take bending from avatar as that's basically how it goes.

3) when a demon is killed it basically respawns/reincarnates elsewhere on the planet. Depending on the size of said demon it could take days, weeks, months or even years for it to come back
 
For any who care its between four and seven players with the rp starting once I have three acceptable sheets.
(The cs page will be made if I get some number of players showing a eagerness to participate)

For the hell of it here's some character "roles" one can adopt into their backstory... if you want it say so here so no one takes it

1) relative to a former member of the Hinotori who wielded a weapon that was host to a demon beast. Your character inherited this weapon/responsibility and have been trained by said former member to do so.
(You wouldn't be a master but certainly adept thanks to lessons and experience with the weapon/demon)

2) a seer from Tonairie recently had a vision of your character helping face off against a coming danger... said seer tracked your character down and escorted them to the Hinotori as a guide herself and as the one to nominate them.
(Your character would pass the tests by a hair's margin but nevertheless impress the guild as the newest recruit.)

3) a heir to the throne, with royal blood in their body and a lifetime of training only a king could afford to force on one... This character was nominated by the king.
(This character can be as skilled as you like to a degree, they pass the tests but lack a bit in the social department. Due to issues from a dead mother and king father/life of being groomed to be perfect...
Because of a attitude they are still on trial despite passing the tests with flying colours)
