Kindred of the East Jump Greetings Traveller
Kindred of the East Jump Greetings traveller. You’ve recently perished. I’d offer you my condolences for your loss, but given your current circumstances, it might be more appropriate to mourn for what’s to come. You indeed died, but your lower soul, the P’o, was of sufficient strength to literally break out of Hell and tear through the Wall between the worlds, and so, you’ve taken your Second Breath and risen from the grave as one of the Kuei-Jin, or the Wan Kuei, Cathayan, Eastern or Asian vampires, whatever you wish to call them. Kuei-Jin typically arise from deaths in a manner similar to ghosts, having returned to put to rest unfinished business. Said business is often a Karmic debt to be repaid, and through the use of Dharmas, enlightenment can be achieved and the debt repaid, but the Road Back is long and perilous. You might want these chi points. Spend them well. +1000cp Backgrounds As the system of courts is relevant and location based, all listed locations are free to choose; your location functionally determines which court you’re initially a part of. Whether that’s because you chose it or because you were educated and debuted into is up to you. Five August Courts of the Quincunx Obviously not a singular court. The Quincunx is the governing body of Chinese courts and the Kuei-Jin under them. Each of the five courts oversees a city in China, the Blood Court of Beijing, the Flesh Court of Shanghai, the Flame Court of Hong Kong, the Bone Court of Chongqing and the Jade Court of Changan. -

The Western Screenwriter in Japan: Screenwriting Considerations in Transnational Cinema
The Western Screenwriter in Japan: Screenwriting Considerations in Transnational Cinema by Alexander McAulay Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Media and Communication Bournemouth University May 2017 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with its author and due acknowledgement must always be made of the use of any material contained in, or derived from, this thesis. 2 Alexander McAulay The Western Screenwriter in Japan: Screenwriting Considerations in Transnational Cinema Abstract This PhD investigates the writing of a feature film screenplay for mainstream Japanese-language cinema by a British screenwriter. As a long-term resident of Japan with production credits in Japanese cinema, I have for many years been interested in how to write stories set in Japan that will appeal to domestic and international audiences. The study examines the challenges I face as a Western screenwriter writing a screenplay for Japanese cinema, and how those challenges inform my creative practice, bringing into being a screenplay that is intended to enhance screenwriting craft in mainstream Japanese cinema and provide new knowledge to transnational cinema and screenwriting research. The critical commentary that accompanies the screenplay takes a dialogic approach in practice-led research to explore how various issues emerge for the Western screenwriter in Japanese cinema. These problems are examined with regard to relevant theory, and contextualised in considerations of various films in Japanese-language cinema written by non-Japanese screenwriters. One salient issue is the application of the Hollywood ‘universal’ model of screenwriting to stories about Japan. -
