A Little About Ayakashima

 Warning: Meta/Immersion Breaking Content In File

Ayakashima - A portmanteau of Ayakashi(A Japanese collective term for Yokai that appear above water) and Shima(Meaning Island) - This has a dual meaning: It is an island which *houses* yokai, but it itself as an otherworldly emanation is also, technically, a yokai.

[Producer Note/IB: I wanted a setting in which casual community roleplay could take place (and in which I could write stories at the very least) and decided on Ayakashima due to my enduring interest in religion, mythology and folklore, particularly yokai and faeries. It has intentionally broad entry criterion - mythical creatures and those in touch with them. Just about any character I could imagine wanting to create could be justified to visit there. This is my Arkham.]

Despite being an island, Ayakashima serves as a crossroads, or meeting point, as well as a haven for the supernatural. The city, though enigmatic and often shifting over time, has a welcoming aura and cheerful air.
