We begin playing Kuro (Website here a near (far) future game set in a dystopian ghost haunted Japan not dissimilar to the setting of Ghost in the Shell. Japan has been attacked with a nuclear weapon, but although the weapon went off, no one was killed by the blast… The rest of the world believes Japan has a secret nuclear defence, the Japanese government however is panicking as they have no idea what is going on.
And Shin-Edo (renamed Tokyo) is now crawling with ghosts.
Dramatis Persona
Kurasawa Noriko: Tiny Policewoman, with a penchant for Jujitsu and shooting people. Noriko is the shin kicker of the team physically capable and well-armed. She is very connected to her car (called Kimiko), and is suffering from terrible insomnia since the Kuro Incident.
Tanaki Soka: The heavy drinking Police detective, he’s not handling the post incident world terribly well (he’s a semi-heavy drinker), but is continuing to do his job (just about) despite it. Wearing a forensics skin suit he also has a fair amount of natural ability, and some hacking knowledge gained from his time on the street.
Liger Usagi: The Bozoku Occultist, the world has become a weird place, and Usagi is well suited to it. Riding a motorcycle that would not have looked out of place in Akira, he also carries a .38 special with bloodstains from its previous owners death which he claims is “very effective against ghosts”, he knows more than he is letting on.
