Welcome to Yami no Backstory!

This is a place for historical research, speculation, and fanfiction about the histories and backstories of the characters of Yami no Matsuei/Descendants of Darkness. Ever wonder what Tatsumi did during the war? What Watari's degree in Mechanical Engineering would have entailed? What an 'ordinary' doctor in the early 1900's would have done with a comatose patient who woke only for suicide attempts? If Hisoka would remember Pac-Man? Then this is the place for you.

Questions on contemporary Japanese culture are also welcome within reason. XD

We're here to learn, share and have fun. To accomplish this goal, here are the rules:

1. Entries should fall into one of three categories: Research, Character Speculation, and Fanfiction. Please mark all entries as to what kind of beast they are. Remember to lj-cut long entries, or the mod (that's me!) will spanky.

Fanfiction should be labeled with Title, rating, pairings (if any), and any warnings. To belong on this comm, they should delve substantially into the backstory of at least one canon character. "Tatsumi thought of the war, and then walked to the coffeemaker" is so not cutting it.

2) Be respectful. If someone hasn't done their historical homework, point out the problems politely. If you're the person with bad homework, be happy to be corrected. You just learned something. Remember: if you assume everyone has the best of intentions, good things will come to you. If you assume everyone on the Internet is just here to wank...well, you get the picture. So be nice, gosh darn it. Or I'll sic Tatsumi on you.

I'm [info]mistressrenet, the mod. My word is law, but I'll probably only slap people down if they're being incredibly wanky, so please do us all a favor and play nice. Thankee! [info]p_zeitgeist is the backup mod, and she's even nicer than me.

Other communities you may find helpful: [info]little_details, for niggling facts and [info]multilingual, so you don't make an ass of yourself saying odd things in a foreign language.

Thanks to [info]morningstar4 for invaluable help with coding. Layout images are, counterclockwise from right: a Kyoto temple, Japanese baseball legend Eiji Sawamura, Hiroshima in 1945, and the Diet building (of course!).
