Player Name: Jenn. Contact: victoryfanfare on plurk, victoryfanfare#4736 on discord! Adds are a-okay by me, I am a pretty low-activity plurk user these days so I plurk almost entirely about RP other than highly mutable/contained work plurks. Pronouns: she/her Tell us about yourself: I've been RPing online in some capacity since 1999?! I also like to sew, write, do crafts, watch TV, play video games (Red Dead Redemption, the Last of Us, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Fire Emblem etc) and 3D model. I work in the replica props/cosplay industry, with a big focus on anime and JRPG stuff, so odds are I know your character's costume inside and out even if I don't know who they are lol. Pumped to be here!
Character Name: Travis Touchdown Canon: No More Heroes Character Age: 39 Faction: Shuten Brief Rundown: Have you ever felt unfulfilled by a life of endless video games, anime, wrestling matches, and getting drunk in bars? No girlfriend? Can't pay rent? Just all around a huge loser with an odd talent for inspiring people to put you in your place? Well, just buy a lightsaber on eBay and take some chick in a bar on her word that you can get mega rich by killing people. Except oops –– killing people won't make your life better in any meaningful way. And oops –– now it's been 12 years and maybe it's time to get serious about your life, but you're not sure you can get out, but maybe you can make something good of where you are.
Initial Ideas: - Travis Meets His Faction, Which is Shuten, which is a no-brainer. I'm still getting a feel for what factions are like in practice and the internal dynamics, but it is very Travis-core to come in fired up/sometimes needlessly aggressive and then chill out when he realizes oh, it's cool. - Do we keep TDMs here? Does that make sense even if Travis wasn't in that faction?
CR Desires: I am generally down to try anything, and am more than happy to work Travis' angles to get him in on whatever seems fun, interesting, promising, or otherwise. He's a guy who excels at frenemies, and it's very hard to get him to carry on a grudge, so he's very good at going from negative to positive over time –– I love those arcs.
Also looking for: - fellow assassins who can ponder philosophical shit like WHY DO WE KILL, WHY DO WE LIKE KILLING, WHY DO WE FEEL THIS IMPULSE TO MURDER because he knows shit is fucked up, but has long refused to really question why or how or where it goes - People who want to encounter his Wow!! Japan!! otaku shit and indulge him or call him a moron. - C o n f l i c t. Love a good fight. Travis generally has a lot of respect for people who fight too :')
Anything else: Travis can be a little off-putting –– kind of like, "stupid pervert" vibes, and he can be playfully aggressive. I am more than happy for characters to be bothered by him, grossed out, or generally just kick his ass if he crosses lines. Overall tho, his permissions are here, including the warnings for some grody stuff in his backstory, and an opt-out! Please know the grody stuff will never come up in threads unsolicited or without being discussed prior.
