This is going to be an RP based on Buso Renkin. If you don’t know the series, that’s fine. The whole thing will have some references here and there, but nothing directly towards the series. There will only be a few concepts that will be explained here. Final Fantasy Fan Cid and I came up with this random idea, and it’s our first RP attempt, so sorry if it’s none too great.
Background Info:
Fifty years ago, the Alchemist Warriors were an elite group of fighters who battled against homunculi. The only thing that could destroy the homunculi are the weapons called Buso Renkin. Both were the results of people’s research in the field of Alchemy from long ago.
Buso Renkin are somewhat like personalized weapons that vary between each owner. The default shape of each Buso Renkin is just a plain metal hexagon with a Roman numeral in the center ranging from I to C (1 to 100). Buso Renkin are just tools that reflect the user’s corresponding weapon unique to that one user. Each one usually also has some sort of special ability that is specified to each separate user.
Homunculi are monsters that usually take the shape of monsters or animals. In some special cases that are more common now in this experimental time period, there are humanoid homunculi that can take human form but still have the abilities of regular homunculi. They also have special abilities depending on what creature they were in the past or how they were as humans. Homunculi are dangerous beasts that hunger for human flesh. Human is what keeps them going, which is why the Alchemist Army is out to eradicate all homunculi.
A humanoid homunculus is very much like a human because basically, it is. They still must feed on human flesh and have more intense instincts (like a normal beast) because of their change. Humanoid homunculi are superior to regular homunculi because they are able to wield Buso Renkin like a normal human. This makes them more potentially dangerous and therefore higher on the priority list of hunters and Alchemist warriors. These monsters live longer than almost anything in the world and are nearly immortal.
A homunculus has some special features that make it a very bad opponent to have in battle. They heal at a miraculous rate and can regenerate lost limbs or reattach them. This requires much energy though and will make the homunculus hungrier for a meal (human). The only way to kill a homunculus is to strike the emblem (which shows that they are an actual homunculus) that is usually located on their forehead. Humanoid homunculi are the same, though their emblem location can be anywhere on their body.

Fifty years ago, there was a sudden boom of human interest in Alchemy again. Amateur scientists were conducting unorthodox experiments that led to a large increase of homunculi numbers. Basically, the same thing was happening then as in the medieval ages. No actual gold was created from the experiments, but there were some strange successes in making different variations of homunculi. One Bakushaku Chouno did most of these successful experiments.
The boom was dangerous to the general public and the secrecy of Alchemy. The main point of the RP is a series of missions given by the Alchemist Army to locate and destroy Bakushaku Chouno. Some homunculi that have been created from random experiments have joined the Alchemist side in hopes of being changed back into humans.
Bakushaku Chouno is a genius that owns a large trading company. He is possibly the biggest name in Japan, and has many resources. He’s been experimenting with creating humanoid homunculi but hasn’t perfected the process. There have been accidents throughout the world that have created this, but none of the variables are consistent. Chouno is doing all sorts of things; creating homunculi for a private army for no obvious reason. The Alchemist Army believes Chouno wants to take over the world with the monsters he’s been creating around the globe, but that is only a reason they made up to explain his actions. There are more mission investigations to try and determine his true motives.
