Plot (in a nutshell)
Due to a mystical space-time distortion, a shrine in Kyoto Japan has the power to send people back to the Sengoku Period, back when samurai and ninja were around and Japan was in a state of war between different clans. People going into the past has caused some changes to take place in this timeline, which could be dangerous for the world's future. The plot will mainly be us trying to survive in this new world while we figure out how to get back to our own time. However, that's easier said then done because there's quite possibly someone else from the future messing things up.
Other objectives?
I'm thinking it would be a cool idea to only have our characters know the amount of Japanese that what we actually do in real life, so we have to learn as our characters do. It may seem hard to have our characters not understand what people are saying a lot of the time, but that can help with emersion if we're in the same situation as they are. Don't worry about a lack of communication all the time, because our characters can still talk to each other in English and there could be some NPC's who will help us out. For learning Japanese, we can help each other with sentences, such as when you post a sentence you can translate it for us and we can ask questions about grammar and stuff like that. It would be really fun if we could know a lot more by the time the roleplay ends then when we started, which would make this roleplay seem like it has an even greater purpose then just being fun, which I hope it will be as well. You don't need to know any Japanese at all to join, you just need a willingness to learn.
Rules
Standard forum rules apply, such as no god modding and be polite to everyone else. I have the right to kick you out if you misbehave a lot, but I'll always give a fair warning for things.
