Not surprising, given that Japanese religion, as a concept, is basically incompatible with our western understanding of it. Japan, like most of the far east, has always practiced massively syncretistic "pragmatism" faiths by which beliefs were casually and routinely adopted, switched around and discarded based on perceived everyday utility ("Oh, this traveler from China claims he has a prayer that works against ghosts. Cool."). The religious "institution" never quite organized because people were too focused on stuff like talismans and spells on the one hand and sweeping philosophical generalizations like "the Buddha" on the other.

Like, most modern Japanese couldn't even tell you what their religion is. Throughout their lives, they participate in Shinto, Buddhist, and Christian rituals interchangeably and with the same amount of fervor. They see no problem with celebrating "Christmas" (or getting it completely wrong) because to them, it doesn't preclude also giving offerings to Eleven-Headed Kanon OR bringing over a Buddhist exorcist when they buy a new apartment.

>>52663056
What's happening to them?

>>52663082
Not very clear, but there's a not-too-unlikely rumor that the Japanese government keeps list of remaining Ainu families so they can ensure they don't marry anyone or breed too much. Their population has been decreasing for the past century and it's not a secret the main Japanese ethnic group/Yamato would very much like them to go extinct already.

>>52663143
There are people who do that in their own way even when it's illegal to research clan/caste kinda things.

>>52663056
Actually, Ainu orcs would be pretty badass, on top of a rather nonstandard twist on the trope. Bears instead of wolves, for once.

Not entirely true. Their government requires rhem to register their faith, and technically syncreticism has been outlawed. In practice, however, syncreticism is still alive and well and a registered Japanese Shintoist might have more in common with a Zen Buddhist as far as the faith goes than other Shintoists.

>>52668848
Back when I was traveling in rural Japan, I made a game out of entering a temple and asking people whether any particular statue represented a god or a Buddha. Not only would I get both answers for each one, sometimes I'd get people to start arguing about it. Sometimes one of them would be the temple monk or priest. Sometimes BOTH would be.

>>52655591
Kobolds were trickster mine spirits/goblins, they were what gremlins were to fighter planes.

Gnomes were alchemical spirits of earth, elementals.

Dwarves were mythological beings that were expert miners and craftsmen, believed today to be Northern European peoples' interpretation of southern peoples.

Elves are the only you had close to right. In Anglo-Saxon tradition, the word denotes a wide range of different types of pagan spirits, but were often tricksters that would fuck with your farm and home, but most D&D interpretations take from Tolkien, whom himself took from the Scandinavian elves, who were more something of a near-angelic-like race.

So I'd give you a D- on your comments. If you want a quintessential house spirit race however, look to Brownies.

Goblin and orc are interchangable in Tolkien's works. Basically, "orc" is mostly used for Uruk-hai, and goblin for the smaller breeds, but both can be referred by either term. Uruks are a specific brees of orc/goblin

"Troll" was a generic word that refered to a wide range of creatures, sometimes synonimous of "fairy". One of them was a pretty woman with a cow tail and very strong.

Modern society makes much more of a point to classify things precisely. Sometimes I miss the mutations of oral storytelling. A rpg table seems to be the one thing that comes closest to it.

>>52680110
In fact, if you go back far enough, "troll" probably didn't even refer to a corporeal creature but rather to an evil spirit or possibly even a "curse". Basically, if you had bad luck, it might've been caused by a "troll".

There's also a bit of confusing linguistics when it comes to the usage of the words "troll" and "elf", which at various times and places seemed to be more adjectives than nouns. A dog could be "elf". A human could be "elf". A snake could be "troll". Any number of people could be "troll".

It wasn't clear cut.

He didn't just kill people, he ate them. The women usually got away but he outright ate male villains.

>Frank knows some sleezy businessmen, has been invited to celebrate with them
>Dennis & Mac want to pitch a home-made beer they've only ever tested on Charlie. It's difficult because they don't speak English and the aid only speaks basic English. Frank speaks Japanese but doesn't want to help, he only wants to party
>Charlie wants to help but can't stop bringing up the nukes. Like it doesn't even make sense sometimes, it's just on his mind so he can't stop. Like jesus christ Charlie stop asking. No don't bring up Godzilla. Godzilla isn't real, why would you start asking about that?
>Dee keeps getting hit on by the businessmen, but she can't understand them
>Dennis doesn't like the attention on her but needs Dee to help pitch the beer
>Charlie has culturally insensitive tourettes
>Frank tells the gang why he brought them along. No it wasn't for the stupid beer. It's because a long time ago he got wasted and was enamoured by the beer goggled images of hot animu babes and has a plan
>Mac gets distracted by a brochure for the Dicks Museum. Thinks it's ungodly and must be checked out
>Dennis is getting frustrated, nobody is taking his most likely unsafe beer seriously. Gets offered money if Dee sleeps with the businessmen
>Considers it
>Wow Frank really likes this anime thing
>Convinces Charlie that his Dayman thing would make a great anime, but only if it had more tits
>Charlie isn't sure. Especially when Frank suggests it be Daygirl and Nightbabe with massive stacks
Charlie doesn't like this, thinks there's something in Japan's air
>Mac just can't stop talking about dicks, he's learned so much about this unholy sight
>Dennis locks Dee in a room with a very drunk Businessman
>Charlie will not stand any further for Franks molestation of Dayman
>One Businessman actually likes Franks new idea
>The drunk businessman dies of a stroke while trying to lecher Dee, he's drunk Dennis & Mac's beer

I'm gonna stop there because I can't think of anymore
