djbsjghsbsl I am so glad that u asked, in this essay i will…

no just joking, I’ll try to sum it up but! It’s a FREE (you heard it right, FREE!) gacha game with an arena mode (like LoL) made by a Chinese company that features a pretty big cast of well known JP/ENG VA’s ( Mamoru Miyano, Nana Mizuki, Noriaki Sugiyama, Miyuki Sawashiro , Romi Park, Suzuki Tatsuhisa, Liam O’Brien, Crispin Freeman, Tara Platt, Gideon Emery, Marisha Ray, etc). Yes, all your fucking faves from Sasuke Uchiha to goddamn Winston Overwatch are in this SGDSGS.

The game plays a lot like a video game and follows the story of the legendary historical figure Abe no Seimei in Heian era Japan when humans and magical beings/demons lived in the same realm. 

This guy ! ^ It picks up with him, a famous onmyoji ( court mandated diviners with the ability to bind spirits and make predictions ), who has forgotten his memories and runs into a Lot of problems with humans and yokai alike that he has to piece together and find out what happened. It also contains many side stories for the shikigami he has summoned and other side characters which you can play through and get to know them better!

It’s super fun and if you feel like smacking people, they made a MOBA app where you can play as the many yokai featured in the main game. 

It’s fairly new, but already has a GIGANTIC following over in Asia. It’s taking a hot minute to start over here, but it’s rapidly picked up in the past 6 months or so. We’re still growing as a fandom! And there’s new content monthly. 

It’s colorful, beautiful, lovingly handled ( and modded!! they have an official discord and a radio talk show held by Seimei’s VA for questions from players!!) , and fun to play with friends. The stories are retellings of famous Japanese folklore and history and adds a lot of depth to characters that makes you feel for them. I can guarantee there will be a character for anyone lol. It also has canon crossovers with Inuyasha, Mononoke, and other series in which during events you can summon characters like Kusuriuri and Inuyasha as your shikigami!

Here’s a link to their YT channel where you can watch the character stories that come in series called “Heian Scrolls”.

       "  i've been waiting a long time for you.  "

“You’ve certainly been busy, haven’t you, love?”

The faint glow of a sigil was the only warning of her arrival - opening the way between the two planes as she sashays towards him. Her hands propped coyly on her hips, a knowing gaze leveled with the Dhampir before her.

“I hope those naughty little angels haven’t been giving you too much trouble.”

Minfilia’sgaze settles on the face of the other. Her lips pressed tightly together; sealingher compassion (threatening to spill like blood in a dance of CARNAGE) inthe hollow of her throat. She does not embrace sorrow, the nothingness of it. It’sa dark thing, that haunts. It settles on her shoulder, whispering, andwhispering of mistakes and the designs of fate.

Iknow the fate of those who live without light.

Hasshe not seen it? Eternal hunger, teeth bared for something larger than life—darknesslaced within crooked, broken fingers. Hope, both an illusion and an unbrokenpromise, is the light consuming.

Hasshe not seen it? The despondency of men, throughout the hollow city of Ul’dahin the ever-burning plains of Thanalan when dark falls.

Theyhardly knew hope nor Her grace at all.

Minfilia’sgaze finally falls the sandstone floor of the solar, slender fingers lacing together—thetip of them, gracing her forehead when hands lift. She counts down from tenbefore a soft exhale—hardly heard, leaves rosy lips.

❝My heart cries for you. Such a sad existence you must live, and I feel sorryfor you, ❞ She says,sorrow lacing it’s cold, unseen hands around her throat. Among this ruin of herbody, hollow and carved in light—she wishes to howl. Instead, she smiles (soWRETCHEDLY). ❝ I pray you do not meet a horrid fate. Towalk the path shrouded in shadows, with little light from the sun’s love—…Oh.❞

Herwords fray, rotting into silence. The stale heat stifles her voice. Her postureis straight, hands falling loosely to her side. She swallows naught. The tidesof words, that loom to drown her—with cruelty.

Theseas of Minfilia’s eyes, hardens into stone as her smile fades into nothingness.

❝F o r g i v e  m e. ‘Tis yourchoice to make. You must forge your own path and adore it. ❞

Abrief pause.

the oc i was referring to was this shinigami oc ( kinda same with my quincy oc, but, that’s a separate inspiration ) named ryoma hattori that i took every single mistake, writing error, development faults, etc from my past characters and put effort into trying to tie down any loose ends. gave them a multi - faceted personality so it’s not just ‘ he’s cool, but actually soft ‘ that i felt i did in the past a lot, at least, giving a character a particular set of traits & never allowing the character to sorta break away from it and explore how that character interacts on circumstances based on his personality, but not tied down to only reacting solely on those traits. most amount of time spent on an ability list, in a long while, too. used elements that're relavant to the culture of the universe he exists in. just generally felt? like the first real characters i made in years, instead of just ‘ hey here’s this dude. ‘ so it was really rewarding fleshing out a character, getting people show interest in it, etc. which is a feeling i kinda lost for a while, and just started feeling on nero in regards to interaction, feedback, talking to people and getting that. hey, the effort i’m putting into bringing elements i feel are important to life is worth it ! also his fc was spicy so that probably helped.
