    Shamans.

    A medium between the Realm of the Living and the Realm of Spirits.

    By connecting themselves to spirits such as learning the skills and techniques of a Spirit within them. Not only that they can also ask the Spirits for advice, heal the sick, and gather the ghosts of the dead.

    Due to their ability to commune with Spirits, Shamans have been revered since ancient times.

    However once every 500 years, a tournament to declare the Shaman King is held. The Shaman King, most powerful of all Shamans, is often a messianic figure who can commune with the entity that Christianity refers to as God, the Great Spirit.

    The eve of the upcoming Shaman Fight is approaching. Strength, Will, Wisdom all of these and more are needed to become Shaman King.

    Train hard, learn about the world around you, and finally push beyond the boundaries which bind you.

    Xx.xX

    You are Yoh Asakura, three years old, heir to the prestigious Asakura Shaman family, and about to start training in Shamanism.

    You are…

    Choose One:

    [ ] Apathetic about this. You've been surrounded by Spirits since birth, your human 'friends' don't believe in Spirits and being a Shaman isn't considered 'cool'.
    [ ] Excited. Being able to do all the things described by Grandma, Grandpa, and Mom sounds awesome!
    [ ] a lazy ass. You just want to enjoy a laid back, easy life. No training, no work, just lazing on the floor listening to your favorite music.
    [ ] Determined. You knew you had a twin brother despite your family's attempts to hide it. You'll become a great Shaman and Diviner so you can find your older brother and bring him home so you both can enjoy being family.
    Despite your attitude towards becoming a full fledged Shaman you…

    Choose one:

    [ ] are a prodigy. Your skill with communing, controlling, and utilizing Spirits is greater than normal for your age. (Bonus to learning Shamanistic Skills)
    [ ] are a spiritual monster. Your Furyoku levels are immense for one so young and with so little training. (+1000 base Furyoku)
    [ ] are rather charismatic. Both Ghosts and Humans find what you say to be interesting. (Bonus to obtaining Guardian Spirits and Friends)
    [ ] are able to read peoples hearts. Peoples hearts shows their true hearts. (Gain Reishi Trait)
    Xx.xX

    AN: Whelp this is the start of your guys' journey as Yoh Asakura. Sorry that it's so short.

    Anyways, vote, comment on any errors and ways I can make this go smoothly.

    Also have fun.

    • Rules​

      1. High Rolls are good, low rolls are generally bad. I'll sometimes give multiple attempts to rolls, highest rolls are used. Also Nat 1's are critical failures and can stack, while a roll equaling 100+ is a Crit and can be stacked.

      2. Try and keep your posts legible.

      3. Omake's can give a boost to certain dice rolls, depending on the content of the omake.

      4. Skills tend to max at 100.

      5. You can roll Here​

    • Every 20 stat points equals some of the following effects listed below.

      20 Strength = Able to use heavier weapons/armors.
      20 Dexterity = Less likely to get successfully ambushed.
      20 Endurance = Bonus Action

    Not sure if write-in is acceptable here, but it should be amusing.

    Considered spiritual monster, but this is probably the only chance we can get this trait and it seems like it will be very useful.

    It seems Yoh is determined to bring Hao back home to be family and has the Reishi, Reading of the Heart, trait.

    Hao's little reincarnation deal really screwed with Yoh, didn't it? :p
     
    First Month
  • Threadmarks
    • You are determined.

    You had known you had an older twin brother, despite your family's attempts to hide this fact.

    You will train to become a great shaman and diviner so you can find your brother and bring him home, so you both can enjoy family.

    [Goal Obtained: Find and bring your brother, Hao Asakura, home]

    Yet, you had to thank your ability to read the hearts of those around you for finding out about your brother. Without it you probably would have never known about your brother, so you'll treasure this ability even if it seems like a burden.

    While this ability told you about your brother by reading the hearts or minds or your grandpa and mom, it also isolated you from kids your age. Your power telling you just what they were thinking which caused you to stay away from them.

    [Trait Obtained. Reishi - Reading of the Heart: An ability to read the the hearts and minds of others around you. Cannot be turned off.]

    [Status Obtained. Lonely: You are without friends, -10 to social interactions outside of family.]

    However none of that was important at the moment. Right now you were about to start your training in Shamanism, specifically Onmyoudou training from your grandfather for the coming month.

    Onmyoudou, an art that uses Shikigami, a type of nature spirit found in leaves and paper, and Goryushin for its various curses and effects. While these spirits are useful the true value of Onmyoudou, at least to you, was its specialty in divination. A skill that should help in finding your brother.

    As the month passed you learned how to summon forth a Shikigami Leaf Sprite.

    [Onymoudou: +5]

    [Onmyoudou, an art in which one utilizes spirits of nature to do one's bidding. From things as simple as pouring tea, guarding a home from demons, to even divining the future. Onmyoudou is a shamanistic art used by Japanese Sorcerers. Figures such as Abe no Seimei and even the founder of the Asakura Clan were famous and skilled Onmyouji. Level 5: At this rank you can summon forth and command a single Leaf Sprite.]

    [Technique Obtained. Onmyoudou-Shikigami Leaf Sprites: A type of Oversoul that uses leaves as a medium for low level nature spirits.]

    How will you spend the rest of the year?

    Choose three, training options may be voted for multiple times:

    [ ] Continue Training in Onmyoudou. +5 Onmyoudou
    [ ] Train in general Shaman techniques. +5 General Shamanism
    [ ] Explore the Asakura mansion. 20% Chance of an Event.
    [ ] Look at your Dad's room. ???
    [ ] Research techniques to raise Furyoku. 20% Chance of Success.

    Xx.xX

    AN: Whelp Tried making this longer but not much to work on at the time. Yoh is only 3 and I didn't want to take away an entire year from you guys. So Yoh starts with 5 in Onmyoudou.

    As always with me, tell me of any errors, ways to smooth things over, and have fun you guys.

    Training can be voted for multiple times, research can't.

    Also anyone know the Japanese words for male variations of Miko and Itako(I can probably just use Itako but Miko is a different kettle of fish)?

    I heard that in the anime the X-Laxs had different portrayals but not much else seeing as my shaman king manga knowledge comes only from tvtropes.
    Click to expand...
    Click to shrink...

    That was one thing, yes. Manga version of X-Laws was more complex and I think more sympathetic as well. Same with their youngest member. That squad of 5 ladies who were mostly annoyances in anime wasn't present at all in manga (and thank the Great Spirit for that), certain battles and events happened at different points and didn't go the same way, and the anime was made rather kid friendly, cutting out a lot of the violence like Toriko's adaptation - the encounter with the vampire guy being probably one of the biggest examples. The anime also cut out some of the smaller plots like the Golem incident, Hao was a lot more focused on Yoh because for some reason his grand plan involved absorbing his brother's soul (no idea how that was supposed to help him, really), there was no arc about Yoh's and Anna's past and the ending arc was very different (though considering the original manga didn't get a proper one until much later is to blame here, I think).

    Overall, I'd say the anime's inferior to the manga. It cut out a lot of things, introduced characters who were about as competent as Team Rocket and much less important to the plot (filler, basically), made some of them reoccuring and pretty much only protagonist who had his past explored in any capacity was Ren, because the debacle with his family couldn't be cut out at all. And maybe Faust. Anybody else, tough shit. And like I've mentioned, everything was made kid friendly. So no blood and very little deaths, despite the impressive and sometimes gruesome bodycount of the manga.

    Oh, and that little sidekick of Yoh's gained the ability to use an oversoul, which he did maybe once or twice. With Amidamaru's blacksmith friend.

    Wanted to vote [ ] Continue Training in Onmyoudou, but I want Yoh to be a curious mon-keigh, so the mystery gets the vote.
     
    If any one read Yoh's wiki page they'd know just what is in that room.
