CHRIS FIELDS FOR DUMMIES, PART III - Races of Black Tokyo

Presented without comment.

Okay, I lied. Presented with a whole lot of comments.

The Akaname
During their previous life, Akaname were voyeurs and perverts, keeping one eye on a neighbor in her most intimate moments. Akaname were once fetishists obsessed with the toilet, with waste and bodily foulness, who allowed lust to trump spiritual enlightenment. Others were once lazy maids or indiscrete geisha, condemned for seeing things they should not have, or telling secrets not theirs to reveal. And for their sins, for their obsession with watching the shit fall from another’s body, Akaname are transformed into
unliving spirits who must subsist on a diet of the same. And for the Akaname, whether this is a curse or a blessing remains an unanswered question….

Akaname gather in wretched, nomadic families that wander from village to village. They subsist as laborers, doing work that other beings find distasteful, and that the Akaname find delightful. These creatures are among the lowest ranked undead, spirits that are mocked and pitied, even occasionally hired as household servants, rather than feared. In their own strange way, Akaname can be trusted. Priests encountering one of these corpophiliac undead are more likely to pay them a handful of coins to carry out their chamber pots rather than to exorcise them.

Akaname adventurers are quixotic and courageous deathless champions. They make loyal (if occasionally perverse) companions, and their social invisibility makes them excellent spies and assassins. Many quest in search of Torrii Gates through the multiverse to the legendary otherworld known as “Black Tokyo”, where they can hide among living humans unaware of the existence of undead, hoping to find the respect the species craves, as well enjoy the sight of women from the other side of reality at their toilet.

Yeaaaah this is Nick Bate the playable character race. What a lovely thing for us to start on. Actually, like 90% of these are Nick Bate the playable character race for one reason or another. Statwise, they make pretty good rangers and rogues, and pretty terrible anything that has to do with not being awful.

Akaname are Medium-sized Undead, with ability score adjustments of +2 DEX, +2 WIS, and -2 CHA. Apparently these shit-eating undead are possessed of a 'deep and humble wisdom and an acrobat's grace'. They also have low-light vision, because they're creatures of the night, and the scent ability because they're really good at sniffing out feces and urine.

Stealthy - Akaname get +2 on Stealth checks. Sure.

Strangler Tongue - Akaname have a semi-prehensile, whip-like tongue that they can stretch down to their ankles and which gives them a +2 bonus on checks made to begin or maintain a grapple. Yes, you're supposed to want to play as an undead that eats shit and has a bad case of tentacle tongue.

Bones of Shit - Akaname can dissolve their bones at will, turning into gross blobs of necrotic tissue. While in that form, they gain a climb speed equal to their land speed, can fight in melee without penalty, can't be tripped, and can fit through any opening large enough for their skull.

Corpophile [sic] - 'Akaname savor the taste of a maiden’s shit as a human savors fine wine.' Watch any vaguely-humanoid character with a greater-than-average charisma, uh, relieve themselves, and then eat some of the waste within one minute to temporarily become more alive again - for one hour after using this ability, the akaname loses their undead weakness to positive energy. Actually I'm not actually sure that's misspelled but fuck if I'm going to look it up.

Perverse Meal - If you don't use your Corpophile ability every 24 hours, you start taking morale penalties on attacks, saves, and skill checks until you get caught up.

Abura-Akago - When a child with an akaname's perversions die, the universe is too kind to keep them from turning into a true akaname, but instead they have a compulsion to drink lamp oil, especially from the lanterns in a pretty girl's room. They get fire resistance, the ability to spit fire once a day, and the compulsion to drink lamp oil instead of the akaname's Bones of Shit, Corpophile, and Perverse Meal abilities - but you're still playing an undead shit fetishist.

Bulging-Eyed Voyeur - Instead of being good at smelling and sneaking around, you have big bulgy eyes that let you look through any surface as if it were glass for a minute up to three times per day.

Corpse Licker - Instead of being good at smelling and sneaking around...
By licking the urine and feces a dying creature spills from its corpse, the Akaname can review the last seconds of the creature’s existence. This ability allows the Akaname to experience the last melee round of the creature’s life, seeing, hearing and feeling everything it did immediately prior to death. The Akaname is considered shaken for one minute after using this ability.

You too can be some sort of weird akaname private investigator or something! Thanks, Fields!

Shadow Skitter - In exchange for the Bones of Shit racial ability, get a move speed and AC boost in dim illumination or better. Pairs nicely with...

Tenjoname - Be a super emo akaname who's all, like, drawn to the darkness, man. Lets you cast darkness once a day, and replaces Corpophile (but does NOT, as written, replace Perverse Meal, if you want to be an asshole to your PCs. Thanks, Fields!).

Bloodstrong Men

It is said the first gods were brother and sister, birthed simultaneously from the cosmic womb, and they created the world so they would have a bed for their love. The first men were created from this incestuous union, and when the first human clans gathered, many families practiced the same incestuous tradition. Like their gods, these clans practiced incest without shame or fear, producing more powerful mythic protectors and champions with each succeeding generation. In time, these clans became known as the Bloodstrong Men.

A thousand generations, or more, of Bloodstrong Men have lived and died, lost to the endless battle against the Black Else, all in service to Great Ygrassydl. Whether raised in the distant Earth-realm or in a Tatakama prefecture, all Bloodstrong children grow up the expectation that when they are fully grown they will be taught the secrets of slaying oni, and will be allowed sexual and familial union with the clan, in the hopes of producing the next generation of warrior. On the night of their first hunt, these proud warriors lay with their fathers, mothers and siblings, and awaken the ancient power that is their birthright.

Did I mention that a lot of these races are fetish-focused? Because they are. This is the incest race, which apparently got swole through family-fuckin' instead of collectively turning into drooling hemophiliacs within a couple dozen generations. Statwise, they're tough and preceptive, and their large size makes them potent warriors, but they're pretty dumb.

Bloodstrong Men are Large Humanoids and get +2 to CON and WIS, with a -2 to INT. Like akaname, they get both scent and low-light vision, and have the option to have been the product of a non-incestual relationship, getting +2 DEX in exchange for the usual stat changes and having to deal with being called 'half-strong'.

Racial Skills - All bloodstrong are expected to know their family history perfectly, and get a +2 bonus on Knowledge (history) and Perform (oratory) checks.

Lantern of the Clan - When two bloodstrong touch, they produce light equivalent to a light spell. If the bloodstrong are immediate family members and have had sex some time in the past 24 hours, the light is equivalent to a daylight spell instead.

Need-Fire - 'When confronting supernatural evil, the Bloodstrong’s body glows with a holy light, a remnant of their divine origins, preserved through a thousand generations of selective incest and controlled breeding.' FUNNY, IT DIDN'T SEEM ALL THAT SELECTIVE TO ME HA HA HA ha ha *sigh*. In any case, a bloodstrong can choose to activate this ability three times a day, causing any non-good Outsider who hits them to make a Fortitude save or be blinded for one round.

Kasha Dead-Slayer - Instead of being a big swole incestuous red guy, you're a big swole incestuous green guy who really hates undead. Trades Lantern of the Clan and Need-Fire for the ability to glow with green flames for three rounds once a day; while you're on fire, your attacks ignore the armor of undead and prevent them from ever rising again if they're slain.

Killing Flames - Set yourself on fire to treat your weapons as magical and to do bonus fire damage instead of blinding things that hit you! Replaces Need-Fire.

Warrior Culture - 'The Bloodstrong Man’s proud andvincestous clan has adopted some of the military skill of humanity, perhaps after capturing human warrior-maidens and making them part of the tribe.' ughuhughguhguhgughguhgughughhhhh you get a fighter bonus feat instead of Need-Fire NEXT RACE

Daughters of Kirin
The Kirin- the blessed unicorn of the East- is a singular being, an intercessor between mortals and the gods. The Kirin is singular but he takes many lovers and has fathered countless daughters, all of whom are beautiful. Daughters of Kirin have been born to fit and perfect mares across the Tatakama for longer than men have ridden horses. Emerging from between their horse-mother’s legs like a foal, the appearance of a Daughter of the Kirin is an omen of cosmic significance.

...

Powerful, heavily armored and in terms of strength and heart a champion mare in the form of a girl, Kirin resemble their father closely. Daughters of Kirin stand easily six feet tall, and though their bodies are lean and attractive, they are surprisingly heavy. Their lower legs are equine and end in a pair of golden hooves. A Daughter of Kirin hides a beautiful pair of taut breasts and a virginal pussy behind gnarled ivory and golden armor. Her armor grows from her skin, and is a living part of her. Her partial carapace also protects her hips, shoulders, forearms and spinal cord.

The Daughters of Kirin are an idea I honestly think would be kind of cool (unicorn humanoids descended from a heavenly messenger to fight evil) if it weren't for, you know, the fact that Fields wrote it and decided to add his signature touch, what with the horse-fucking and the fact that they all totally want to sleep with Daddy and... well, we'll get into more later.

In any case! Daughters of Kirin are fast, strong, charismatic, and... direct and optimistic enough to earn a -2 INT. Okay, sure. Were I a more cynical person (I'm a more cynical person), I'd say Fields just has a fetish for dumb chicks. They also receive low-light vision and Run and Endurance as bonus feats ('Daughters of Kirin can run within hours of their birth and find almost orgasmic pleasure in pushing their bodies to the limit').

Other abilities:

Heavenly Armor -
Heavenly Armor (SU)
A Daughter of Kirin is instantly recognizable because of the ornate gold-laced bone armor which grows from her supple flesh.

The Daughter of Kirin receives a +4 natural armor bonus to Armor Class. At 10th level, this bonus increases to +6, and to +8 at 15th level.

A daughter of Kirin cannot wear additional manufactured armor and rarely wears human clothes, walking the world nude and glorious and purposeful.
Thanks, Fields!

Touch Not the Earth - Daughters of Kirin step so lightly that they can choose not to leave tracks as they walk, and partially ignore difficult terrain while running or charging. Again, I think this is kind of a cool concept, but FIELDS.

Horse Sister - Their close kinship to horses gives daughters of Kirin a bonus on Ride checks and Handle Animal checks made against equines. They can also cast speak with animals three times a day (again, only working on equines).

Vegetarian - Can't eat meat. Daughters of Kirin get nauseated for 24 hours if they try, or if they take an animal's life 'without excellent cause'.

Baku Dream-Eater - Instead of being descended from the Kirin, you're descended from a dream-eating tapir, and you trade your Horse Sister ability for immunity to sleep-disturbing effects, as well as the ability to share that protection with other people.

Daughter of the Divine Bull -
The olive-skinned Daughters of the Divine Bull are the cosmic sisters to the Daughthers of Kirin. Their lusty father is a rapicious and daring god, who chooses beautiful and strong human girls as his mates and leaves them with a half-divine daughter growing in their belly.
Yep. Replaces the typical Daughter of Kirin stats with +4 STR, -2 Int. Technically you could be the daughter of a divine bull and a tapir at the same time, now that I'm looking at this. Please file all possible responses to this comment in the trash bin because I really don't want to see them.

Thunderous Charge - You can charge so powerfully that anything you hit after you make a charge has to save or be deafened for one round. Replaces Touch Not the Earth.

Water of the Mare - Pee on people to make it easier for them to overcome poison! Replaces Horse Sister, but not my lingering feeling of uncleanliness.

Whinny - Once per day, you can make horse noises so loudly they act like a shatter spell.

Posting this now to prevent my browser from killing itself again, will add onto this later (we're only about a quarter of the way through. oh boy).

The Daughters of Kirin actually sound extremely badass.

If you ignore the weird lusting after daddy.

... And the peeing on people to cure poison.

... And if their armor grows from their skin, how are you supposed to reach their genitals anywa--I am asking way too many questions I don't want answered.
 
Ooooo! I love role-playing! If there really is going to be a group set up, may I join?

I haven't checked out all the books yet, so I don't know the specifics, but I think I get the idea of how things are supposed to work. So, my character could be a true gentlebird-man-kin-thing who travels the world/Japan (is Japan the whole world in this game?) and blesses lucky women with the chance to raise his children for him. While at the same time slaughtering every other child he sees that is not his because they are not Bird. And not being Bird means you are impure and must die from a severe beating via his dildo bat. (This game needs a Saint's Row dildo bat.)
Is that offensive enough to qualify as a character? Child-killing parakeet-man with race issues would be fun to play.

There is technically two parts to the Black Tokyo world - Black Tokyo itself and the Tatakama, which is sort of Ye Olde Japan full of demons and heroes. There are both a dildo bat (the Rapacious Tetsubo and/or the Hitachi Super) and a race (the Byakko, which are basically THIS IS MY FURSONA: the race) you can use to make Bird. There are, uh, feats you can take that turn your dick into a weapon too.

I wonder what Mazes and Monsters would have been like if it were based on a Chris Fields game.
