Its not even totally impossible. That cruise they're on could end up being so riddled with noodle incidents that Campbell's will be trying to sue them for trademark infringement.
It was the half-literate assistant of Bright.
I was under the impression that Rivezim doesn't exist at all in this quest...
He has to, given that Vali exists.
Look at it this way : if he doesn't exist, then we don't get to punch him in his smug fucking face.
Hmm, lycantropes are a thing here. Lobisomem we call them. There's a legend about Boto and Iara, basically a Merman and a Mermaid, but of the river variety, and that sort of stuff. I believe they're not quite youkai though.
We have quite a few in Brazil, but they're more Spirits rather than Youkai, but as I understand the biggest difference between Spirits and Youkai in Japanese folklore is that spirits tend to be more benevolent, while Youkai are... twisted in some way, though not necessarily impure which is another whole can of worms.
Not an expert on Japanese folklore, but I believe that's wrong, and Youkai encompasses many various types of spirits, from animal spirits like the kitsune and tankui, to spirits of places, or objects, to general monsters. Basically anything supernatural that isn't presently human or a kami. Nothing about them being twisted or anything else.
Upon further research and reading, you are indeed correct. Youkai is most commonly used and accepted as the catch-all term for Monsters, Spirits, Ghosts and, in some older uses, the general mysterious and spooky atmosphere of places like deep forests and abandoned buildings.
Probably something from anime/manga, as that's where most of us get our Japanese mythological background.
This thread never quite dies. There's always some new post in it every week or two to keep it on the front page.
Is he actually still writing? I don't recall seeing any of his other quests or stories getting updated anytime recently, either.
No, the Dragonbloods stole that title from the Solars and don't technically have the right to use it.
Because the only charms the Sidereals can create without the permission of all five Maidens (Which is never given. Ever.) are martial arts charms. So they have gotten very good at them.
Because she doesn't feel any need to be formal with her husband.
It's her Hero alias.
No, that only works for the infernals because their shards are already jailbroken and Solars, no matter what their form, are designed to do things that are impossible. Sidreals aren't so they can't rebel against their own power that way.
