Shinto

same here. truth be told the scythe is more a conduit than a medium...
though that doesnt truly explain things...
and iuno, i might be able to post something. i forgot the name of the one manga i was reading, and Code Breakers has gotten... meh. still waiting for chapter 10 of Durarara to show up, and after my shower i might start to work on something. though, id just like to ask/clarify something; the story takes place solely in Japan. Will the 4 main islands be addressed?

4 main islands? Doubtable. As far as I have it set, it's basically like '1' single country/island. Split into '2'. Shinto is basically at the very border of both East and West Japan. Imagine ... Hmm, a Pokeball. Know how at the center, there's a small 'spot' that divides both sides? Similar here. Shinto is that very small area. We've yet to explore East and West Japan, so our options are a bit limitless. If we add in other continents or regions, we might make it too confusing, but it's up to you guys. I'm not going to make a hissy-fit over it, as long as you think it works and you intend on referring back to that area again some time during the future or something or the sort. Have fun.
