Roleplay Idea #2: The Reincarnation of the Goddess

A young girl is a member of a clan that worships the goddess of light and the heavens, Lady Amaterasu. The clan works diligently to prepare the world for the goddess' return and thus, a select lineage of women are chose to be her vessel. Upon reaching the apex of their life, the current vessel, referred to as the Avatar of Light, passes on the role to their daughter, who once the girl is of age, becomes the new vessel for Amaterasu.

After nearly 1800 years, the ritual had gone on without issues until one faithful day. The current vessel had been tragically taken by illness and it was thought that the goddess was lost. For you see, the goddess, like all spirits, must have something to tie them to the physical world and possessing the Avatar of Light is her method of doing so. Once the tether is severed, then the goddess returns to the spirit world and runs the risk of being forgotten by the people of the world. Their faith in her is her literal lifeblood, so being a deity in human form, gracing the masses with her presence not only keeps her in this world, but also sustains her.

After her vessel's death, all hope was lost but the vessel had given birth a daughter. But there was no sign of the goddess. For years, the girl grew up and there were many strange things about her. She had looked like like the goddess, uncannily so. To the point where many were shocked to see her resemble the ancient pictures of the goddess. She demonstrated great spiritual power, showcasing many of the abilities that the goddess had possessed and more. Moreover, the head priest had received visions that the goddess still lived and this girl was her new vessel. All of this culminated on the girl's 16th birthday, where the goddess, in a brief moment, revealed her presence to her worshipers. This girl was not just the goddess' new vessel, but was her reincarnation, created as a means of saving herself from the death of the last Avatar of Light.

Now that she had returned, the clan now had reinvigorated their mission to ensure the survival and reign of the goddess of light. With a young man, a member of the clan who had been tasked with protecting the Avatar of Light, the girl must find her identity while also juggling the conflicts that she has with her protector, her clan and the many evils that seek to see her destroyed.
