Covered In Blood And Surrounded By Spirits (Hellsing CK2 Organization Quest)

Reader mode
[X] Japan. A land full of history and mythology, spirits run rampant through these lands. Now, you've been tasked with corralling them in. Somehow, you think your work is cut out for you.
 
My main reason (aside from Japan having a nice variety of interesting monsters) for my choice is because it is the only option with mystical support, not to mention when dealing with supernatural creatures knowledge of their weaknesses is really freaking important.

Also regardless of what we choose we need to keep in mind that it is entirely possible for creatures outside our country to appear.
 
Time to make an argument for Japan.

You see that con about appeasing nature spirits if you don't want to be flattened? Yeah, that's kind of a con.
But in a way, it is a boon as well.

First of all, let me give you an example: Earthquakes are commonly caused by Namazu/Catfish spirits living in the mud, and to calm them you insert keystones into the ground to pin them in place.

Now, if the idea of preventing earthquakes by stabbing giant divine catfish with pillars alone isn't enough to make you vote for Japan (... Weirdo), then this also has another bonus involved. If you remove the keystone, then the spirit starts thrashing about, causing an earthquake.

In other words, by displeasing the spirits, we can essentially create Natural Disasters on demand. So once we inevitably get invaded by Nazis/Russians/Chinese/Americans/whoever-we-manage-to-piss-off-using-SV-Diplomacy, we have one of the most deadly "fuck-it" buttons outside of nukes!
 
I was unaware there was a USA quest on SB. Vote withdrawn and changed to

[X] Japan.
 
I'd prefer South America, but I'll add in my support for Japan as well. Japan has some crazy monsters in its mythology, that are much more interesting in my opinion than wendigo or sasquatch. There's the Satori, a monkey with human intelligence that speaks every thought you have while you're thinking it to distract you while it hunts. There are the Tengu, a race of either bird-people or goblin like creatures that know metalcraft and tend to be expert swordsmen. There are hundreds of weird and fascinating monsters, some of which can be reasoned with and allied.
 
One thing to also note about Japan is that it has it's fair share of artifacts that can be used to combat supernatural entities. Hell even the forging of a Katana is highly spiritual with it believed that the smith imparts a portion of their soul into the blade. It is why Japanese sword smiths wear all white while forging their blades so as to prevent spiritual corruption from seeping into the sword.

This is best expressed through a story of two swords placed upright in a river, one seemed to draw leaves and the like into it's blade while the other appeared to gentle push it away. This is due to how the swords were made with the one being forged bloodthirsty and battle hungry while the other being forged to never cut unjustifiably.

Umm when your fighting incorporeal spirits and angry native gods, many of whom we probably won't have info on since the native culture is mostly oral based with no written documents we could consult. Unlike Japan which literally has a ton and dozens of festivals devoted to driving away evil spirits, for example Setsubun.

Let's get to the jolly cooperation with friendly spirits.

ummm Native Americans are still around we can ask them quite easily ( if someone has not already recorded them some where).

and last i checked EVERYTHING in japan has a spirit ( land of 5 thousand gods my ass there are a hell of a lot more then that) almost everything is hostile ( did i mention that means EVERYTHING from your doormat to the lampshade?) and the nature gods are just waiting to screw with us? with the US the most we have to worry about is a " zombie" rush which can be taken care of by a dozen snipers nd prevented in it's entireity by just burning all known sites to the ground or placing some guards on them ahead of time and Coyote playing tricks on us ( one god as opposed to Japan's COUNTLESS HORDES OF THEM)

honestly i would pick ay option but japan as while there is plenty of info there is just way to many there ( when you are out numbered by gods you know you are screwed)

If people want an original option, they should vote South America. There are a lot of both Science/America and Magic/Japan based quests in existance.

Like, I can't even recall any monsters from South America nor any quests that take place there.
