Character Creation by Hourglass34



Those who wander, aren't lost. You on the other hand...



WHO ARE YOU?

  • Please do not make any Gary-Stus or Mary Sues. We want balanced characters that have room to grow in the group.

  • These characters can be almost anything they want to be. Student, Lost Hiker, etc. , but if there’s something you’re unsure about, don’t hesitate to ask.

  • It would be appreciated if you don’t add too much tragic themes on your character’s history/backstory. ( Orphaned child, dead family, abusive family, being bullied way too much and in an over exaggerated fashion, etc.)

  • We understand if you’d like to add some drama to their lives, but don’t overdo it, even if our setting isn’t the greatest either.

  • Please make your application outputs on your own. Writing must be your own, and so should your art. ( No art theft, tracing, bases, etc. )

  • For artwork, we’re not looking for amazing art, but we are looking for good effort and quality. It means that it needs to be properly filled out, and it doesn’t seemed too rushed.


APPEARANCE / PHYSIQUE

  • Make sure your characters look their age, their weight, their build, etc.

  • Unnatural hair and eye colors are okay as long as they're  just dyed or colored contacts. Things like these don’t last forever, so through the course of this journey, it’d be fun to see how much their appearances change.

  • Be realistic with their clothes, as details like these are very important later on.

Story by Hourglass34


汐 瀬 


SHIOSE VILLAGE



A small but industrious town, Shiose village was a town admired in the older eras of Japanese history. The village thrived for its fisheries, scenic views, and the well structured mines that were used for gold mining. A peaceful and welcoming place to stop by, Shiose village attracted people to relax and mingle with its friendly folk, and nothing would ever change that-- but that’s what people like to believe. In the depths of the village’s mines, a man filled with greed, wanting to find wealth for himself to take, found something that changed him. It was a treasure at first, but the man soon thought he had found a god instead. The other miners with him called him insane, believing that what he had found wasn’t a god, but a monster. This was a time when people were insecure, when people were superstitious, when people worshipped what they feared more than what they adored.


Apparently, this story was only meant to scare the village children not to walk into the mines on their own. It became something like an urban legend, and visitors would sometimes mention that they would see some red hue glow from within the open gold mines. The villagers would usually find this a silly thing to hear from most tourists. Curious of this phenomena, young fans of the supernatural would enter the mines on their own, only never to be heard from again. This caused a spur on for a while for the village and those whom have lost their loved ones. They confirmed it was only because of the mines collapsing within itself.


Ever since those incidents, the mine had to officially be closed for the time being. Already in the late 60s to early 70s, with the bodies of the missing civilians never found, the village itself slowly died. Less people came to visit, and stories of the place being haunted had come into play. Already a quiet and wasted part of Japan, this place was taken off the map completely in an instant.


THE EARTHQUAKE



On May 9, 1974 , a high magnitude earthquake shook the Izu peninsula, causing landslides to happen around the area, making towns around to flee and evacuate. Shiose village wasn't so lucky on the other hand, being situated by the coastline. A tsunami had come and supposedly washed away the town. Rescue and evacuation teams were told to investigate to find any survivors, but there were none. What caused confusion to them was the fact that the town itself didn’t seem to be in as bad shape as they expected. It had been thought that maybe most of the villagers had left the area in time, or they were unlucky and were washed away by the waves.


With the town’s history for being “haunted”, and the thought of the place itself just being bad luck, they had blocked it off from people being allowed to visit it anymore. It just wasn’t safe for anyone to tread a place that seemed to be abandoned. All the mystery of this town just made it even more and more of an urban legend, people making up horror stories based on this town. With decades past and the times changing, one thing hasn’t changed:

What ever really happened to Shiose Village?

RULES

Rules by Hourglass34



Thank you for taking a look at the group! Here are a few rules to remember.


QUESTIONS?

  • If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask the founder!

GENERAL

  • HYOUHI is a story with inspirations from mainstream and indie horror games that have influenced the genre.
  • This group is rated R17. Themes of Violence, Blood, Strong Language, Mature content, etc. is involved. It is highly encouraged that you are at least of the age or higher of the rating stated.
  • casual, semi-private RP group, openings happen scarcely. If you're very much interested, keep on the look out by watching the group! 
  • We do not tolerate bad behavior, but we like to give 2nd chances, so this group has a 1 WARNING policy. However, if you argue against the mod, and show no signs of respect, you will be kicked out on your first offense.

ART SUBMISSIONS
We do not accept any art that is the following:
  1. Tracing
  2. Art thievery
  3. Bases
  4. Copying
  5. Work that is strongly referenced without proper sources/citations.

  • Anything that should be put into this group must be drawn by you, the artist. If anyone fails to follow this rule, you will immediately be kicked out from the group.
  • NSFW art is allowed in this group, but mostly things like very dark themes, violence, and gore.
  • You own your own work, but this group would love to promote it.

GROUP ETIQUETTE

  • Follow the golden rule: Do to others what you’d want others to do unto you. Treat people kindly and with respect.
  • Respect the mod, please. She’s a weak soul, that’s new to the whole thing.
  • We do not accept vulgarities such as swearing ( at people ) and discrimination towards others in any form. If someone is being insensitive, without us knowing or noticing, but you do, please do not hesitate to tell a mod or the founder.
  • If you’re going to leave the group, please inform us through noting the group. We don’t want to have any commotion from a sudden leave.

ROLEPLAYING

  • Always ask for RPs, and don’t push people to follow what you want.
  • No godmodding or metagaming. 
  • Always think about the person you’re RPing with. Show respect and always ask before starting something! Their consent is just as important as your own.
  • Don’t make RP angst/dramas that can cause others uncomfortable. ( Even in a horror group, there are lines for certain people, ok )
  • Romance is allowed to happen, but don’t make that a focus. This is still a horror group.
  • Please keep IC & OOC separate from each other.
  • Balance your angst and your fluff, or fun. Either things get too stagnant, or things get too stressful. Just cause it’s a tense setting doesn’t mean everything has to immediately be screaming, crying, or hurting everything around you.

"Find Your Way"


  • How long have you been on DeviantArt?

      Probably about 4 - 5 years.
  • What does your username mean? 

Hourglass came from my fascination of hourglasses to be honest. That and I almost               named myself "xXFreedomFighterXx" and that's terrifying so wew good thing I kept               hourglass. 34 is cause I like the numbers 12 and 7, both deriving 3 and 4 when you add and multiply.
  • Describe yourself in three words.

       Learning | Hopeful | Funny 
  • Are you left or right handed?

        Right!
  • What was your first deviation?

        Kingdom Hearts by Hourglass34
      
       I'm dying I'm dying I'm dying I'm also laughing but I'm dying it's so embarrassing to              remember this HAHAH I STILL HAVE THIS AT HOME.
  • What is your favourite type of art to create?

       Both Traditional and Digital Art! Traditional art I like to keep to myself though.
  • If you could instantly master a different art style, what would it be?

        Painting and Realism, definitely.
  • What was your first favourite?

        I can't believe I had to look for this.

        
  
       
  • What type of art do you tend to favourite the most?

          Digital Art!!!
  • Who is your all-time favourite deviant artist? 

          I have so many favorites I don't know how to actually name them all, so I'll leave this             to the imagination of the people!+*+*
  • If you could meet anyone on DeviantArt in person, who would it be?

          jiunniekoppinBoba-MilkTeaAkari-Scifo , instantmiso, Mayunnaize,                 ayaring,  purinsei takoots Lazulight alek-sey , etc. because listing everyone is  going to destroy this journal but I want to meet so many people but travelling is just so HARD
  • How has a fellow deviant impacted your life?

Literally anyone and everyone who just touches or sees my page has changed me in a       way. Especially my self esteem since everyone's just so kind to even favorite something I made.
  • What are your preferred tools to create art?

            Wacom Bamboo Tablet | Photoshop | CLIP PAINT Studio | Traditional media always
  • What is the most inspirational place for you to create art?

            I guess the magic of it is that I don't have a specific place, cause the world itself is inspirational. I guess it doesn't really show much in my art but in due time when I get older and understand better, it'll surely show.
  • What is your favourite DeviantArt memory?

          I guess my favourite memory is literally just every passing day I stay on this place, because I haven't stopped making memories here. Highlights though would be getting into the RP group community and finding so many people cause of :iconays-hosts: , :icontachikawa-high: , :icontales-of-tomodachi: , and :iconningyo-no-kaigan:
