Ug... gah... nnn... so much to remember! *tries to absorb it all*<br/><br/>I'm impressed you have thought this all up and through so you deserve some support!<br/><br/>I'm definitely interested, though still a bit floundering with it all.<br/><br/>As a second idea, not that I'm rejecting Chrystal's interesting one, is maybe some kind of rural setting (I just keep seeing female hobbits when I think rural Uchiyamas) but anyway, a peaceful rural setting with several farms and families, a lake, a river, forest, and general goings on (so we have the soap opera part) but then a recon unit of Other Worlders arrives. These could be anything from bandits to slavers to rebels running from a war against a more powerful Empire (guess the inspiration there - oh save me, I now have Ewok images in my head) and the game is about a peaceful world shattered and how the Uchiyama's must cope with that.<br/><br/>Another idea being stolen direct from the anime Simoun - with couples as pilot and co-pilot in their fighter craft, with perhaps some kind of symbiotic emotional link between the two crew and the ship, with a ship functioning more effectively in combat when the romantic or sexual energy of the Uchiyama couple crewing it is, um... 'elevated'. And obviously there is a war on with all the stresses and strains and tension and angst that brings.
