Nothing is ever just black and white.
No one ever thinks that they are the bad guy.
So how do you know which side to fight for?Long ago, the great sun Goddess Amaterasu placed a magic spell on a small unnamed island off the coast of Japan. The spirits of Japan were dying out under the onslaught of human hunters, so this island was set apart to house them safely. The great three-toed dragons were charged with ruling the people of the island. The kitsune were instated to lead human/spirit relations, should contact ever become necessary. The boar were given the duty of guiding the souls of the dead spirits to the next life. The Tanuki were charged with housing and healing the weak. And the Okami, led by their mighty white-furred Alpha, were made the guardians and peace keepers of the island. The island was named Niirotake, after the red bamboo that sprouted wherever Amaterasu's magic touched.
But that was many years ago.
Now the island is dominated by a large human city. It is unknown whether any of the royal kitsune still live. The giant boar are scattered and dying out after a bloody civil war. Only one of the mighty Okami clan is confirmed to still live, and the dragons are all but extinct, with only one land-dwelling dragon left and their undersea king missing in action. The Tanuki are the only of the five families to still live and thrive. Spirits, monsters, and ghosts alike have been forced to make their homes in the human city- putting themselves in terrible danger in the process. The world of spirits is teetering on the edge of complete chaos, and who is this mysterious human man from whom all the trouble seemed to blossom?

The site-wide plot is still in development, but important in character positions are open. This website is rather unusual, but I promise it'll be fun! We need more members!
