MAY - Challenge #1 - Feudal Japan

[lauand.livejournal.com]

      I assume that people will take some time in learning about this comm, so the first month will be May. The AU setting of choice will be Feudal Japan.

      So, how do you see the characters in this world? Who would be a courtier, who a ninja, who the Emperor, who a geisha, who a samurai who a ronin? Kimonos, katanas, weird hairdos, assassinations, intrigue, powerfights, integrity, honor, awesome sword technics...

      Here's a little collage for visual reference.

Pics taken from the Internet, no idea who their rightful authors are, except for the last, which is Minekura's.



      Feel free to comment and share your visions, your pics, your ideas...

      You can start posting your works from right now (even if it's still April) till 30th May!

Sorry, I meant Goku. I think you're right about Gojyo, and that Sanzo remains 'the Sanzo that walks by himself'.

Manx' outfit could be translated into geisha regalia by someone who knew more about geishas than me (ie, anyone).

I think Yohji a romantic. I admit, with him I slip over into Ruonin Kenshin.After all, Saito Hajime was based on a real character. I admit I lkie the idea of him having to deal with Murase and Kudoh, investigators.

Hard to say how Omi's technical brilliance would translate to a medieval setting. He might become an apprentice to one of his brothers (who'd probably kill him in envy) Or he might turn to poetry or politics or medicine.

Hakkai strikes me as an 'in the shadows' type as well.I wonder what would happen if he and Crawford met?

Oh, yes, it would be great to see Goku leading the apes XD!

And I agree, Manx would make a wonderful geisha (working as a spy for Persia).

"Murase and Kudoh, investigators" ...hmmm, I like how that sounds.

I'm at a loss with Omi. He's not a character I've ever had a grip on, anyway. But Nagi strikes me as a member of the Shisengumi, like the famous Okita.

Hakkai+Crawford=the most silent and understated colliding of worlds ever. It would be great if somebody wrote a crossover where both are diplomats politely arguing their points in front of the emperor/daimyo/whatever.
