Hizen is tsukumogami-- a sword spirit. He's tired, prickly, direct, very rough around the edges, and in general not a very pleasant person. He's only had a human form and feelings for a short amount of time so he's easily overwhelmed emotionally. Hizen regards himself as more of a tool than an actual person but... he's learning.
His master used to be one of Japan's most famous assassins, Okada Izo, so he specializes in assassinations and dirty work which he kind of hates. All sword boys are good boys but because of certain self-esteem issues, he's convinced no one would ever believe him if he tried to be good. He's highly food motivated and gets weak whenever someone acknowledges him with basic human compassion and respect.
Initial Ideas:
✧✧✧ I'm taking it kind of easy this month because of RL. I won't be making a TL and I'll be focusing on tagging out instead. If anyone wants me to set up a closed starter, I'm happy to keep using his catchall log from May. ✧✧✧
BEACH SHENANIGANS ✧ Hizen is rocking trunks and a beach hoodie because he's boring and no fun. ✧ He doesn't want to do sport… he just wants to eat and drink, please. He can help barbecue. ✧ That said, Hizen actually does like the beach. It makes him nostalgic in a kind of nice way. He just wants to vibe and take a nap under an umbrella or something. ✧ He'll be blessing some close CR with sword babysitting rights so he can be dragged into beach shenanigans without stressing about sword boy problems like rust. He doesn't really want to go too far into the water (it'll mess up the bandages around his neck) but bully him anyway. If you want to catch him with his sword or nag him about his bandage, it's a good way to get some lore but as a heads up, he's more sensitive about the latter. ✧ I'd really like to use this event to pick up new CR and to follow up with/strengthen current CR.
CURSES ✧ Instead of giving Hizen a hard time, I'd like to focus more on Hizen trying to help and support people because… he actually doesn't know how to do it! In a way, not being able to kill the problem and having to rely on more emotional/human things is his own hell. He's awkward and bad with words but he's honest and gosh, he'll try his best.
OTHER STUFF ✧ I want to continue doing small lore shares/drops with Hizen this month. This includes following up on CR for things that came up last month but new CR is also welcome! ✧ I was thinking of having Hizen offer to teach some people how to use a sword. He'd prioritize Shuten people and he wouldn't take on many students... but strength is everything and if you want to be stronger, he'll help if he can. He'll be a mean teacher though, sorry. ✧ Also I guess he's doing a hit for Toradaddy. It's fine.
