Iitaka City

This last month of winter hits the city like a punch. Frost-dusted, made a stunning painting. Enchanted snowfall glows in the sunlight, mystically warm at one’s touch. Madam Artume watches idly over this city, drawing the strings of clouds to her will - the people’s will. A city desperate for the last moments of snow before time begs the season’s change. Citizens huddle for warmth, layered under enchanted clothing or walking around with tiny flames in their palms. Unfortunately for students, it’s not enough to put a halt to classes. Still, the spirit of winter runs rampant with joy with borrowed time from a bored magistrate.

For some, a second new year draws near. For others, February is just the stepping stone to spring. For most, they prepare to brave the storm of a human festivity - a day of love or loneliness.

Artume tugs not only the strings of clouds, but also those of a passionate heart. Named after the heart shaped flowers that grow in the caves of Volo, the Eriser festival brings merriment through the ice-painted streets of Iitaka. Profess your fondness to a loved one or take advantage of the many attractions and stalls that line the busy streets.

The Eriser Festival is Iitaka’s equivalent’s mirror of what humans call ‘Valentine’s Day.’ Dedicated to sharing love all around, Madam Artume wishes that the spirit of mercy and kindness lives through all in this special festival. For those wishing for something more, they may wish for the goddess Yrrena to aid in their endeavours of love.

OOC Info:

Welcome to Iitaka! For our opening, we’d like to kick things off with an optional Valentine’s mini-event. The city will be live with festivities - music and performance will run through the streets… the last days will have discounted chocolate if your muse ends up alone at the end of this. 

The goddess Yrrena may also play matchmaker. If you’d like your muse to be cast with a love spell, they will fall in love with another character who has also been looking for love. The charm will end once the Eriser Festival does as well - it is up to the muns whether or not the spell has worked well enough to keep these muses together.

We’ll have other festivals and events in the future, that even you can decide to set up - so please don’t hesitate to ask us about this event or one in the future in our inbox.

Dates: 

Start: 14th February (9am)

End: 17th February (11pm)

All events run on GMT for now.

A closing post will be made on the 18th at midnight which will announce any significant events from this time.

While there was a time where Oikawa had been honestly interested in the world outside of Iitaka, over time he had become content in living with what he knows and not the ‘unknown’. He’s skeptical of – and some might even say against – the idea that humans and fablekind can be anything other than fated enemies, and believes that it’s within his people’s own interest to keep their distance. ( After all, what could they possibly gain from trying to make connections with them? They were already strong enough and capable without their kind. )

The vampire is currently attending Aurasa University, where he is studying Astrophysics and is Vice-Captain and official setter of the male volleyball team. While he can give off an air of superiority and privilege, he works hard in both his studies and in volleyball and can be considered a star student.

… Of course, one could easily think otherwise if they are exposed to his teasing, prideful, and sometimes insufferable personality first.

No stranger to the dangers of magic, Detective Azuma appears to be the model man of Axius’ police force. Undertaking the dirtiest of crimes however, his informants are exactly the most spic and span of associates.

Iitaka is a solace away from responsibility. 

Once on the track to competitive swimming, an unfortunate accident befell Albert’s coach - one that he believed was as a result of his foolishness. Finding his home in Iitaka, he seeks to reign in control of his powers and understand a part of him that’s been locked up for too long.

Kiyomi left her small village in search of a new life of her own only a year ago. Being a curious and energetic fox-like species, she grew bored of the mundane and simple lifestyle where she once lived and in exchange for it she found Iiitaka City. Quickly - she made her own home in the Lofos district, the district that felt similar to her old home as it was tucked away deep within the trees. From the beginning Kiyomi had moved with the intention of finding a purpose for herself and she that she had found that exact purpose by becoming an embalmer for the Khabalay Cemetery, where she could put her knowledge and powers to work to help people in their darkest times. Yet she still feels unfulfilled for some reason and almost incomplete and she has an inkling as to why. As for her next venture? Well, Kiyomi wishes to find love among all things - here among the vast and wonderful city of Iitaka.

Since moving to Iitaka, Kuroo has embraced the city and all that it stands for. A bakeneko, he has an easier time blending in as an average human, yet prefers forego hiding his true nature; although he’s skeptical that humanity and fablekind might ever truly be at peace, he supports the notion of attempting integration. He attends Aurasa university, where he’s studying chemistry and is the captain of the male volleyball team. This passion for the sciences has also lead him to support the Oro corporation, which he rather hopes to join at some point in the future.

Kuroo has a laid-back yet scheming personality, and is considered a “provocation expert.” This talent is demonstrated in the way he easily riles members of opposing college volleyball teams. However, sportsmanship is still important to him, and he loathes insinuations of playing dirty. Despite seeming sly and cool on the outside, he is also shown to loosen up from time to time.around his teammates. He takes on a more leading role and is a reliable, strong captain; this does not mean he eases up on the sly smirks he is constantly seen sporting. Kuroo is more intelligent and shrewd than first impressions would usually let on, which is not made obvious due to his intimidating image.

Once a child with hopes for to explore the outside world, Kaede lost his spark and resigned himself to the life laid out for him in Iitaka. Hardened by a past he wants to forget, time is never kind to a kid with dreams.

Harmony came from a family known to have the ability to communicate with spirits. Similar to shamans, this caused more trouble for Harmony when she left her childhood on the reservation for a better life. She learned about a place like no other, one where she wouldn’t be judged for who she is. That place is Iitaka City, which quickly became her home. She’s a student at Aurasa University majoring in nursing with the goal to advance her education to be a midwife. She also works at a department store specialized in women’s clothing and jewelry.

he’s not the most friendly or approachable of the forest folk ( or at all, really ), but he’ll certainly put on a good show at the starlight music hall. just be wary of his enchanting persona, eve. appearances aren’t all what they seem.

Fascinated by the quiet life of Fabled, Hifumi ‘Kajiwara’ has made himself a home in Iitaka. An adjunct lecturer at Aurasa University’s Physical Sciences department, this demon has more screws lose than the tragedy that is his students’ projects. 

Lay a hand on his precious students then you’re sure to get the wrath of a man who’s trying to put an ugly past behind him - besides, it’s his job to morally crush his pupils!
