Recently I've had a resurgence of fascination for the Sakura Taisen (known as Sakura Wars in the west) franchise which led me to posting this interest check.
For those unfamiliar with the franchise, Sakura Taisen is a series of video games by Sega. The story takes place in an alternate 1920s Tokyo which finds itself besieged by demons. A secret branch of the Imperial Assault Force called the "Flower Division", composed primarily of individuals with strong spiritual energy, are tasked with repelling the demonic threat. There's some mecha elements to Sakura Taisen as the Flower Division uses steam powered mechas called "kobu" to combat demons. The Flower Division also performs theatrical plays in the Imperial Theater as a means of covering up their operation as well as honing their spiritual prowess.
This RPs plot will have a different setting and a slightly darker tone. Camellias unto the Torrent will be set in 1945, a few months after the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Apart from causing widespread destruction and casualties, the atomic bomb dropped in Hiroshima has awoken something sinister slumbering underneath the earth. Reports of demonic activities in Hiroshima's ruins begin circulating and a deadly miasma permeates the area. In October of 1945, Hiroshima's neighboring city of Miyajima is attacked by demons and the Japanese army only barely repelled the assault after a grueling skirmish.
Realizing that their old enemy has resurfaced, the government enacts the Ground Zero Spiritual Defense Act and a new counter demon task force is assembled to battle the evil dwelling underneath Hiroshima's scorched earth.
So that's the premise of the RP. All characters in the will be completely original and non-canon.
If you find this interesting or have questions and suggestions about this idea, please feel free to leave a message here or send me a PM. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope to hear from you soon!
