The world is a large and marvelous place that has been home to many events and beings across time. From Rulers and Conquerors of time forgotten to legendary beasts and even perhaps gods. However, many of these tales have been either lost to time or neglected as fantasies. These are the thoughts of most from the Modern Age, although in this age there are still those who know the know the truth.
That death is not always the absolute end, that there's something more to these forgotten or "fake" legends, that unknown to the world of modern men. Magic is real, Spirits are real, and there are those who can truly connect and interact with these forces.
There are many types of people and creatures who do so, but for the majority? Those who walk with the dead?
They're called Shamans.
And this is the story of a boy who will discover what that truly means.
So another day begins for the young lad as he wakes to the sound of his alarm. After getting up to do some stretching for a bit to get the morning haze out he heads, he heads down stairs to get some breakfast. As he descends the stairs he could already hear the noise his younger twin siblings were making, after arriving at the table and being greeted by Mom and the twins.
Getting a bowl of cereal and ignoring the noise his siblings were already making he couldn't help but begin contemplating on his home considering how it's chaotic it's been since the Twin's birthdays were last week.
[] Wyoming, America - You lived in your little town in Wyoming as far back as you can remember. Born and Raised you lived enjoying the quiet life in the small place and exploring the wilderness that surrounds the town, however you didn't realize how much your life was going to change as something Primal Awoke...
[]Lhasa City, China - A large city you have memories of moving to a few years ago, Large and exciting you couldn't help but marvel at the place from time to time with its beautiful buildings and the grand mountains. However, one day you were simply wandering around and ended up somewhere that had some weird vibes. Later you realize you caught Someone's Attention.
[]Ruokolahti, Finland - You just moved here and you can already tell it's kind of boring. You live at the edge of the Ruokolahti spending most of the time wandering around the woods that were close to your house since there isn't really much do around here. But hey at least you eventually found someone to talk with even if they were a bit... Scary.
Heh how time flies.
When he finished his cereal and washing up he bid his family goodbye and headed out to make the most of his weekend. While he didn't exactly have any plans on what to do he figured he'd find something to do while walking around, admittedly not the best of ideas but hey it's not like there was anything else with his lack of friends.
Guess it was his own fault for being…
[]a bit of a Punk. Yeah, he sleeps in classes and got into some fights, but what was he supposed to do? No one would slow down to help him in class and the jerks were just asking for it! No one picks on the twins but you.
[]kind of creepy. For some reason or another he just couldn't get his feelings across to others and in the end he always came off as either emotionless or just simply not right.
Also, it probably didn't help that he can see dead people.
It was scary at first but it wasn't that big of a deal originally, it became a big deal when he was caught a few times talking to them by some other kids and when he was asked who he was talking to he made the mistake of telling the truth.
Yeah, in hindsight saying he was talking to a dead guy wasn't his brightest idea.
Speaking about the dead he waved to the biker that passed by on his walk just now. The yellow biker happily waved back and continued to blaze on by. Poor guy slipped off the trail and ended up crashing during a surprise storm a month back.
On the topic of the undead, he couldn't help but think about how long it's been since he could interact with those who have departed from the living.
[] It was as far back as he could remember. He could always see blurred figures out and about ever so often. A year or two later he started to actually make out what they looked and even hear them. When he asked his folks about it they eventually told him it was a family trait? Gain: Shaman's Legacy: The Blood of Shamans flows through you and your family. The arts of Shamanism comes to you easier then most and perhaps the potential for even greater heights.
[] It's kind of hard to remember most of the details now a day, but when he was young he got infected by a pretty bad illness. He vaguely remembers feeling impossibly cold and a terrible pain throughout his body, eventually at some point everything went black. When next he woke up to his parents crying over him, he was later told that he was legitimately dead for a few minutes. Gain: Living yet Dead: You Died, yet you live. You who walk amoungest the living even though you were met by Death. What this means, no one knows...
But enough of that, the time of thinking about the past is over. Now it's time to see what the day holds or your name isn't…

A shaman king quest? In this day and age? Sign me the hell up!
Question, @Demenos will Shaman King Flower be followed here? Actually...can you tell us what point in the timeline we start on? Assuming that's not a spoiler.

Was planning to go with Perkele but then I realized having two creepy/scary characters off the bat would be kinda redundant.

I'll going with the manga as far as things go with the possibility of some anime stuff being added in...that'd would make Au wouldn't it? Eh, also the year has been changed to 2004 for some plot things.

Entirely possible to meet canon characters in this quest. Certain actions and rolls certainly make it possible.
Also I want to say sorry, but I forgot to mention even though it's been likely notice, but depending on where you spawn determines what your Guardian Spirit will be. So think about what could be lingering in those areas and the wording I used.
And Heads up I plan on closing votes somewhere between 8 to 10 am.

...Ya know in hindsight I should have probably have thought about that. Anyways it'd be in CDT or Central Daylight Timezone for those who don't want to look it up.
So about 5 to 7 hours from now...Maybe abit eariler if I can't get back to sleep.
