jigokuooc | July OOC Intro / CR meme!

Welcome Lost Souls! And also, welcome to this round's group of new players!

Want to jump right in? This month's Substories are posted here!. As for what's been going on...

Just like the TDM set up, Jigokucho is in recovery mode after the dissipation of a curse that befell the city. It was a full-on horror apocalypse.

The curse is gone, there are rumors stirring that the turf war has ended, and the Kappa are all going back down to work on building… something. It’s all pretty hush-hush, but anyone that’s not in the Department can ask freely about it. The Enma has bigger things to be concerned with already anyway (namely the newly named cause of the curse: Haniyasu).

So what does that mean for the next two months? Well, between whatever it is being cooked up in the Underground and everything else, the theme of these two months is Tanabata! How that celebration takes shape in a place like Jigokucho will be revealed as the month goes on, so stay tuned to find out more!

Pronouns: She/her
Tell us about yourself: I'm a hobby artist and play a lot of tabletop games and theoretically a lot of shooty games and indie games, but Super Robot Wars has consumed me for the past several months and has led to me playing Nei here and fixating on this surprisingly obscure show. I'm full of bad puns and shitposts as well.

Character Name: Nei Moh Han
Canon: Heavy Metal L-Gaim
Character Age: Presumably late 20s/early 30s.
Faction: Enma
Brief Rundown: A high-ranking officer in the army of Pentagona World, under Emperor Posaydal - specifically part of the Extra 13, essentially the sorts that get smaller contingents assigned to them so they can do their missions. Nei was very close to, and involved with the Extra 13's leader, Giwaza Lowaw. She's one of the main character, Daba's, primary two rivals, generally the more competent one, having been in her position from the start, though she and Daba are often fairly evenly matched, and she's quick to retreat when it's clear she's got the disadvantage. She gets caught up in a web of scheming and backstabbery between Posaydal, Giwaza, and some other parties - ending up something of a prisoner of Posaydal after trying to implicate one of those other parties in aiding rebel forces. Posaydal then pressures her to turn on Giwaza and assassinate him for moving against her authority as emperor, and Nei intends to try and reach out to her lover when she returns to him to try and sort this out, but by this time, Giwaza has grown paranoid, and has ordered Nei to be attacked on sight. This pushes her to the brink, reconsidering her plan, and turning on Giwaza in a fit of rage and betrayal when she finds him, cutting his arm off, but getting shot in the process...and now she's here in hell, pissed off about it.

Initial Ideas: Being fresh off of Getting Fuckin' Dead because of shit within a faction brought about by what was perceived as an inadequate leader, Nei ending up as Enma is Interesting. I'm very open to her getting influenced by people that are of the opinion that The Enma Sucks, even if she might be wary of it to start with? It's complicated.

CR Desires: Nei's kinda stuffy and prickly, so I'm open to both people that like to drag people out of their shells and those that cause friction. Especially if the character is A Goddamned Moron, because her best interactions in-series were with idiots.

Anything else:

Edited (completely forgot the about me section like a pro...) 2022-07-08 03:45 (UTC)

this would be ridic to offer but...tama is very vocal about thinking the enma is a chump, but hes also not in the faction so that'd make it more uncomfortable. maybe someday she can argue with a twink about shit, idk, he's a moron so it'll go Somewhere

I'm very down for it, due to her canon point she'll at least be Slightly Considerate of the idea - but more morons of any flavor are good.

he is all too glad to cite sources about why the enma's a punk and weak because tama has a complex, so once the video footage gets plot dropped in we can work something out at the very least. even before then though, i might be able to see about stuff when the mingle is live

oh shit y'all got evidence, she likes evidence.

yeah i'm kinda just twiddling my thumbs waiting for that since she doesn't really seem the social media-y type for ember and there's not an enma group post just yet.

yeah thats normal, the enma uh
doesnt have a 3* because nobody enjoys the enma too much except maybe three people

actually i think zieks might be but. you know zieks aint making a network post

what can I say zephyr but offer congratulations on Nei being one of the few enma who is not a serial killer and in fact icly held some kind of rank and, may i repeat, not a serial killer

Minato is Frankly Intimidated by her, tbh, even without knowing she's a ranking officer. though, even if he was being circumspect about it in the tdm, his opinion of the Enma definitely took a nosedive due to `recent events`. idk what substory prompts have piqued your interest but there should be an IC mingle post going up soonish! they have faction-specific prompts but last time there was an option to hang out cross-faction so we can see that pops up then.

I MEAN, she absolutely has killed so many rebel soldiers, which isn't the same, but...

She has the intimidating vibe, and I...admittedly was flying by the seat of my pants there without a solid canon point in mind when I started the TDM, but she'll be slightly more open to the idea. She knows how to fall in line for rank and file reasons, but at that point she's also taken part in like a coup and a half...ish... Late-series L-Gaim is a clusterfuck...

Both in Emma and both from settings with laser swords?

I dunno I just want CR with people. Especially people in Emma who are relatively not insane.

Nei wants her laser sword back. :(

I'm up for it! Nei will be used to wild coworkers to an extent, but more level-headed ones will be nice.

I put down that his lightsaber still works it’s just stuck on low battery mode and works more or less like a regular sword instead of as a Burn Everything Stick. He’ll power it up to full bullshit mode later.

Ah, I didn't think to consider that. She can make do without for a bit in the meantime.

Isn't her laser sword mecha-scaled though?

There's human scale ones, too. She only uses it a couple times, but it's there.

Oh shit that sure is a lightsaber. Let's rap.
