welcome to a world much like our own. a world that has come to understand just how odd it really is. here you will find a laid-back and plot driven community. you will enjoy an original setting and original plots with roots in series ranging from modern day bakemonogatari to the legend of count dracula. but be warned that we aim to be an intermediate level roleplay (though we will accept everyone!). Once more, welcome to summer haze.

Summer Haze is an original roleplay, but our content and ideas may not be our own. The forum theme was created by KYO. Pictures and Graphics were found on ZEROCHAN. We reference series such as BAKEMONOGATARI, ONE PIECE, X-MEN AND OTHERS. We do not own any of their merchandise. Systems and guides were written by KYO AND INK, and all posts are owned by their respective members.

GIFTS.
DEFINITION. A Gift is a supernatural ability that a person gains after an extreme or traumatic event. They tend to be more narrow than Oddity specialties, but a player has more control over what they can do.
EXTREME AND TRAUMATIC. How extreme? How traumatic? Acquiring a gift means looking beyond the impossible and making something possible. Your character dies, but comes back. A character reaches the bottom of depression and then rises to the top. A traumatic event haunts them so, but they get around it. Most of the time someone will die.
FACTS.
SPECIALTIES. If you haven't read the Specialties guide, then this might not make sense to you. Oddity Specialties reflect the type of Oddity that they are. Vampires suck blood. Ghosts can phase through objects. The Specialties of a person with a Gift will all follow from that Gift. But because a Gift reflects a person or their personality, these can cover a broader area of capabilities.
REFERENCES. Kagerou Project, One Piece, Bleach (Zanpaktou), To Aru Majutsu no Index and X-men are just a few series that would be good examples for gifts.

FACTS.
- A Gifted person cannot become an Oddity. They can have specialties that are Oddities' curses, but they cannot become one.
- Oddities are not attracted to these people.
- Gifts are received under extreme circumstances, and an Oddity cannot be directly involved.
- Gifts reflect a person's lifestyle, a fault of the person or the way that they died.
- Individuals who are close, or who have similar circumstances, tend to receive related or themed gifts.
