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.

Supernaturals.
WHAT. Supernaturals are half of the story of Summer Haze. But what are they? Ghost and ghouls. Gods. Spirits. Concepts and logic. Creatures from storybooks, and beings of legend.
WHERE. At Summer Haze's opening, the Supernaturals will have only appeared in Hoshizora City. But no one in the city has seen them yet. They cannot see them. For now Supernaturals are invisible to those individuals that are 0-10% Supernatural. They are transparent to individuals that are 11-30% Supernatural.
WHY. The reason for the Supernaturals' appearance is unknown. Humans will have to ask the Supernaturals themselves, and even then, most of the Supernaturals do not know themselves. What is known is that the Supernaturals influence their surroundings.
WHO. Everyone, and everything. The longer and person or place is in the presence of a Supernatural or Supernatural Event, the more Supernatural they become their self. It is not just being in their presence that makes that happen. Even without the humans realizing it, the Supernaturals could be interacting with them, physically or mentally.
HOW. This is the meat of the Supernatural Set up. If you can read only one section of this guide, read this one.
Every characters begins as a human. Those humans are 0% Supernatural. There is nothing Supernatural about them, they have not interacted with anything Supernatural, and they know nothing about the Supernatural.
Now and then, Supernaturals will pop up within Summer Haze's boards. One of the staff will begin a thread with a Supernatural, and then members can pop in. Those members can then NPC the Supernaturals themselves and go along their way, or they can ask the Staff to NPC them.
Depending on the type of Supernatural, when a person interacts with them, one of two things could happen. The individual's Supernatural Percent will raise, or they will incur some effect (Which may or may not add Supernatural Percent).
Play tag with a Spirit Fox, and your Supernatural Percent will raise. Get bit by a vampire, and acquire an addiction for blood.
So what is this Supernatural Percent?
It is how Supernatural your character is, but it is also their tendency towards a certain type of Supernatural. Using the Spirit Fox example; you played with the foxes, so you become more Supernatural. But because you were playing with Spirit Foxes, you become more like a Spirit Fox yourself. It is up to you the member to decide what Supernatural your character becomes more like as they become more Supernatural, but remember that they must interact with the type of Supernatural (But a character can become more Supernatural without turning into a Supernatural).
Aside for certain exceptions, a character can only increase their Supernatural Percent by up to 5% per thread. This is to give members something to work for. Keep in mind that as your character gains more Supernatural Percent, they will be able to resist it more. By the time they reach 50%, they usually can choose their self if they will become more Supernatural.
It may not seem like it, but there is a balancing act. Yes, some characters would love to become 100% Supernatural. But there are others that want to go back to a normal life. And there are those in the middle that do not want things to turn bad. There are negatives to being Supernatural that will be covered now.
This is a chart of what happens at certain Percent Levels. Some characters will love, others characters will hate.

This is a chart of what happens at certain Percent Levels. Some characters will love, others characters will hate.
- 5% The character may feel out of place. Depending on the Supernatural they interacted with, and the character's personality, they may have urges they did not have before.
- 10% The character can see Supernaturals, but they are transparent. The character may gain a physical feature of a Supernatural, like ears or a tail.
- 20% If a Character is becoming more like a Supernatural, they will receive a weakness of that Supernatural. IE, certain Supernaturals cannot go out during the day without extra protection. The weakness will be much weaker than what the Supernatural would experience.
- 25% The character may become more like a Supernatural mentally. Their speech or tendencies may change.
- 30% The character can now see Supernaturals clearly. They could also become more like a Supernatural physically.
- 40% By this time, if a character is becoming more like a Supernatural, that type of Supernatural will be lured to them. At this point those Supernaturals will more or less acknowledge that the character is becoming one of them, even if the character has not accepted it their self.
- 50% The character has been influenced by the Supernatural long enough that they may be able to consciously reduce or stop the amount of Supernaturality they gain. They may acquire another weakness of a Supernatural, or the Weakness they had acquired will be half that of the actual Supernatural. A character cannot go beyond this point if they are not influenced by a type of Supernatural
- 51-75% It is up to you what happens within this gap. But after 60%, Supernaturals of all types will be lured to your character. Half out of curiosity and half because your character is Supernatural, and yet he or she can be seen by normal humans.
- 75% The character will have the full weakness of a Supernatural. He or she may also change mentally to become almost completely like the type of supernatural. After this point it will be difficult to convince them to go back to being human.
- 76-90% Once again, it's up to you what happens here. However, your character will become transparent to non Supernaturals. He or she could force their self to be seen normally for short periods of time, but that's it.
- 90-100% Your character cannot be seen by normal humans. They are not almost or completely turned into a Supernatural. The only way to reduce Supernatural Percent now is to use Supernatural means.
