So yeah, dropped by to renew affiliation and the concept of this place really sucked me in. Only real problem is the setting. I know it says you don't need to know much of the source material to get on, but is that necessarily true? I know the general gist from reading &c. But I'm just wondering, would I end up drowning at the deep end if something DID crop up related to the manga that wasn't covered in the wiki article and help files here?

Also, I'm considering playing a youkai, a Kappa, now, how would that work? Would he be more or less immortal? Or have they got lifespans like everyone else? Would there be few kappas or would there be many "back home" for him to reminisce about? They're probably silly questions, but better to know than to dash into it head first!

Thank you!

I love questions!  And you have very good ones.  <3

You really don't need to know much of the source material at all for almost all of the canon characters and definitely not at all for originals.  The only exceptions would possibly be Miaka, Keisuke, and Tetsuya (since Yui is already taken), since they were alive and extant through the canon.  Since the canons are reincarnations, the past life memories may affect them strenuously or not at all, which is why just a quick brush over the wiki is sufficient for understanding.

The kappa would be more or less immortal, and whether there are a lot or not is up in the air through play.  Whatever tells the most interesting story!  Though, as with all youkai, if they cause trouble then the demon hunters and otherwise magical enforcement officers might come bring sanctions, punishments, or exile, depending; again, whatever tells a cool story.  XD
