Hey. My name is Suren. I live in a country in the Caribbean called Trinidad and Tobago. I am half Japanese. So, I have a little issue, my great grandfather was a Shinto priest (Kannushi), in which he owned his own small/medium-sized shrine (jinja)that enshrined Inari Okami and a few other kami, that I don't know. Properly local deities, so, when he died, his eldest son got to inherited the shrine,at the time, my grandfather was considered a Kannushi, but he wasn't licensed. Something had happened and he had to move to America, then to Trinidad. My grandfather and his wife moved to those countries, but the issue was he wanted to carry the shintai with him so that it can be passed own to future dependences (me), In my opinion, he could of given it to his younger brothers. When he came to Trinidad, he had a daughter, which is my mom,
So later on, my mother had me, he was very happy to know that they was a male in the family so that the shintai can be worship. He died when I was 13 and she said to my mom that his grandson (me) has to take care of it. I am now 20 and my mom said that she wants me to start back with worshiping the shintai, before anything happens bad to us and my family. I have been practicing shinto for my whole life, but i lack the understanding on how to take care of it. I am asking for any information on how to take of it. So that nothing bad happens and that I can pass it down. My Grandfather never told me any information of how to take care of it because of being sick and coming in and out of the hospital. Can you see if you can find any information on how to take care of it?
Sorry for my Bad grammar, I am from Trinidad and we use an accent and dialect.
where can I get a goshintai of Inari Okami?
I was wondering, if a go-shintai isn't worshipped well or has been disrespected can kami-sama leave the Go-shintai and returned to its original sprit from its parent shrine or return back to nature? Also, If someone has a Yorishiro eg. a gohei and it is worshiped properly with care and sincerely, will or can Kami-sama permanently stay in the Yorishiro and becomes a Go-shintai with out any ritual like the kanjo ritual?
What do you think?
Who agrees?
Aren't they both objects embodying Kamisama that are enshrined within a kamidana or shrine? Can't an ofuda also be considered goshintai?
For those of you not aware, I am referencing a proposed mechanic Kevin discussed here.
One thing I am looking for clarification on is how the Shintai handles Effort-boosting Gifts. The rules state that the Shintai form of the Godbound uses the Effort pool of the human form, but how does that interact with things like Effort of the Word if the Godbound takes it in their human form? Does the extra Effort carry over? Or do they need to take Effort of the Word in their Shintai form as well?
Some time ago, Kevin posted rules for an ability much like the Shintai of Infernals from Exalted. The idea of creating gifts that one can ONLY use in your Shintai is very interesting to me, and I was wondering if the lot of you had any ideas for gifts that you could only use in your boss-monster form.
For reference, Shintai do this:
A Word becomes part of your shintai when you spend at least 4 gift points on gifts from it. Your initial shintai requires that you attach all three of your initial Words to it, though you can attach another one later if you bond it and spend the requisite four points on gifts. Thus, you get your Shintai after spending 12 gift points, which means no earlier than 4th level if you're careful to apportion your points equally.
Your shintai form is a boss monster with three hit points per character level, one action per four levels rounded up, and two attacks per attack action. It's got a base attack bonus equal to your level +4, but isn't modified by your attributes. Its hits do straight damage equal to 1d6+4 at levels 4-7, 1d8+4 at levels 8-9, and 1d10+4 at level 10, also unmodified by attributes. It rolls a 1d8+4 normal damage Fray die, and its Fray dice and any powers that inflict Fray dice affect all enemies regardless of their hit dice. Its base AC is 5, modified only by gifts, and its movement is the same as the PC in whatever mode seems appropriate. Saving throws are as the unarmored Godbound, as is committing Effort to autosave or being counted as a worthy foe against all powers.
Shintai use your Effort. It's treated as having Bound all the Words you've added to it. You can pick three points of gifts for each Word you've added to the shintai, and the only limits on what you pick are that it fits your shintai's style- you can choose lesser or greater gifts from any Word that fit the theme, or create your own. You get no benefits from any non-shintai gifts in this form, including Constant ones. Shintai can't produce miracles or offensively dispel things without using gifts that allow it, though they can defensively dispel.
It takes one action to assume the shintai form, along with Committing Effort for the day. You can turn it off by spending all your shintai's actions for a round, or by being reduced to zero hit points or zero uncommitted effort. If it gets beaten off you by being dropped to zero HP, it turns back into you, but your current hit points are halved, rounded up.
Once you've formed a shintai, you can lear

helo,
lately i've beenpracticing a little more shintai(walkin movement)...as it 'easy' as it seems, there arised some questions: 1)i've always been teached that tsugi ashi movement consist of the leading foot going first and the back/last foot following...but i've found some videos on the net that says the contrary.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13IosWG27AA 2)the movement of your foot on the mat...ayumi ashi is translated like basic/natural movement...so the positioning of the sole foot...you start walkin first on the heels(like in everyday natural movement) or with the (sub)fingers? somewhere i found about the suri-ashi movement, but there is mentioning of it in the judo kodokan book,or elsewhere... myself i feel that going more on the fingers and sliding your feet like described in the suri ashi movement is better cause of your all and all kuzushi,but it may be just my feeling... thnx

Default Profile
Beast β £:L.
Originally, she was born from the convergence of the dying wishes of the land and animals annihilated by the Tunguska event.
The grief of the blown-away land.
The screams of the animals who died helplessly.
A residual Spirit Origin that remained in that location, mixed in as a distortion in the fabric of space-time. Also called a Singularity Convergence Body.
If that was all there was to it, it would have vanished without a trace, but on January 1st, 2017, it was counted as a candidate for the now-unoccupied position of Beast β £, and was transformed into an Evil of Humanity. Modelling her Alter Ego Spirit Origin on that of the Nature Spirit Tamamo no Mae, she began to take action for the sake of the Rejection of Humanity.
Her purpose is βBreaking off the collective consciousness of the animal kingdom (including, of course, humankind) from the Human Sphereβ. This is also referred to as the wife-to-husband letter of divorce.
While enjoying the view of Humanityβs destruction from the opposite shore, her purpose was to construct a world of βnew animalsβ that would not be harmed by humans, maimed by humans, and would not harm the present state of the world.
Though the Beast takes the form of a beast, its main body is the land itself.
A biosphere that nurtures animalkind, and a deathsphere that slaughters animalkind.
Beast IV, who rules over both of these at the same time, could be called the βEighth Lostbeltβ.
Profile 1 (Actually, Event Clearance on Tunguska Sanctuary)
The Mother of Beasts who thinks mankind is unnecessary.
She is both cruel and ruthless, but her love for animals is honestly, truly, genuine, even if she doesnβt say it.
However, she doesnβt have (much) to pamper because of her manifestation being βlike the harsh Mother Natureβ.
While she may be brutal, her roots are in Tamamo no Mae, so at least a little good nature remains.
Her fundamental policy is the Rejection of Humanity, and a total disregard for human rights, she dislikes the very material of mankind, and says that all human actions are abhorrent, but upon evaluation, itβs not as if she hates them for the quality of being dirty. Some things are fun precisely because theyβre dirty.
βI donβt hate all humanity. Thereβs at least one exception, you know.β
βSeriously!? Who the hell could it be!?β
βHugh Hefner.β

... keep reading on reddit β‘I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
