Monogatari universe, slice of life, light, maybe BON

[Haibane]

I recently watched Nekomonogatari and was reminded how much fun this series of animes is. It inspired me to rewatch the two previous series, Bakemonogatari and Nisemonogatari. I think these animes have wonderfully curious, complex characters, strange twisting events and enough fanservice to give them a certain sensuous/sexual edge that would transfer well over to a forum RP.

Quite how that forum RP is structured I am open to ideas.

Things would centre around Koyomi Araragi and Hitagi Senjougahara and I am thinking that their relationship as it was established after episode 12 of Bake is a nice starting point. Their odd brand of not-quite-got-it-yet love is so much fun to write new scenes for.

There is good scope to involve Suruga Kanbaru because of her lesbian fixation on Hitagi (there could be some fun contractual deals there to keep her happy) and there might be room to involve the cute and curvy Tsubasa Hanekawa, with whom Araragi has his ongoing underwear and boob fetish.

The other female characters are unfortunately too young. We might just be able to squeeze Nadeko in if we bring her up to age 16 but then we'd need to shift Kanbaru to being older which then begins to push the others beyond highschool age so that could be more trouble than its worth. Koyomi's sisters are probably pushing the limits. I'm open to ideas that bend time around though as long as they don't break too many other things.

I'd like to have the RP involve the canon characters and for them to keep their fun personality traits. Araragi would be pretty dim, socially inept and obsessed with girls panties, breasts, sports bloomers and swimsuits while Senjougahara would be cold and awkward, socially inept and very forward to the point of apparent promiscuity. She's also physically gorgeous without even knowing it or even trying but ruins it every time with a scowling, angry or plain cold expression. Hanekawa is supernaturally intelligent, conscientious, sweet, kind natured, cute and spectacularly full-breasted but labouring under a cruel and stressful family life. She might sprout cat ears and start leaping from lamp posts at any moment. Kanbaru will be fixated on sex with Senjougahara as well as being ridiculously energetic and lively. We can say her arm has healed faster than Oshino said it would.

We have the option of thinking up some aberrations and some convoluted plots to go with those. Oshino Meme might put in an appearance as an NPC or he might have moved on from the town as he always seems to be threatening to do leaving the teenagers to fix their own messes. Or we could just go with a slice of life story and let the main characters bring their own problems to the RP although lots of careful planning could be needed to keep the story interesting.

It might happen that there's only enough character action to have Hanekawa and Kanbaru played by the same person since its not always practical to give screen time constantly to everyone and situations often become forced if you do.

That would make it a three-player game.

I'm open to all kinds of ideas though. I just want good writers who know the series intimately and can identify with these fun characters.
