[member=1466]annika[/member] [member=582]kohaku[/member] [member=1903]keito[/member] you all already know about this; here it is.
[member=2951]enkidu[/member] [member=8346]gilgamesh[/member] @jeanne d'arc [member=3656]anastasia n.r.[/member] [member=8309]ereshkigal[/member] i dmed y'all but just in case.

if you were already involved in this before or tracked one of the old threads, i don't mind if you barge in and/or track this either — do as you like. c;

bringing back two plots, combining the two, and then throwing in a bit of 魔道祖師 / mó dào zǔ shī / the grandmaster of demonic cultivation because everything about that show has me absolutely hooked and i cannot let it go or take my mind off of it...and because i think it meshes really well with the other two.

plot number one, 東方的精神 (click HERE for the thread) is being combined with plot number two (the thread for that is HERE). we'll be incorporating several elements from 魔道祖師, such as the art of cultivation/exorcism, clan politics (already present in plot number two), and evil spirits/entities born of human bitterness and resentment.

the setting will be changed to ancient china (as i'm sure most of you now know from discord) for the purpose of keeping things consistent, so if any of you need help translating names, i'm happy to help — and i'm sure koha, anni, or keito could also help if i'm busy (pls help ur 姐 out a lil bit she's tired). uhhh, not entirely sure what era, but probably right after a warring period... that way the plot makes sense. we can decide on one later.

the plot is basically that of 魔道祖師. lots of resentful energy (a result of all the wars) giving birth to demonic entities, and it's affecting the balance of... basically everything. the different empires/clans/societies are all concerned about it, no one is unaffected. at the same time they gotta deal with politics and interpersonal relations... should be interesting and fun. :'^)

INFORMATION ABOUT THE DIFFERENT CULTURES:
of course, there's the overarching chinese culture, but china itself is actually very culturally diverse. there are so many different subcultures because of all the different provinces, born as a result of different dialects and different ways of life emerging. the four made-up groups we have all have different cultures and then we could probably incorporate the cultures of the corresponding provinces too.

INFORMATION ABOUT CULTIVATION & THE MOST PROMINENT CULTIVATION CLANS:
