July OOC Intro / CR meme!

[jigokumods]

MAIN NAVIGATION

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!

Sannan Keisuke | Enma

[threateningly]

Player Name: Orion
Contact: hotpants | Orion#8270 | Add away, new and old alike! I took some time off from RP and removed a lot of people so if I had you added before adding me again is totally great!!!
Pronouns: They/Them only, please!
Tell us about yourself: HELLO I am here! I'm boring mostly, I work in insurance, but my main hobbies are cosplay, convention staffing, MC work, and vtubing! My wife is the center of my universe and we're disgusting. We have two cats, Prompto and Tiletta, who are perfect and can do no wrong, they swear. I tag mostly after work (after 6-7 PM), I'm in Central time, and I conform to my thread partner's RP style usually! Fandoms include Mahoyaku, Twisted Wonderland, Ensemble Stars, Moriarty the Patriot, IDOLiSH7, Demon Slayer, Touken Ranbu, various otome properties (obv). It's nice to meet y'all!

Character Name: Sannan Keisuke (JP order)
Canon: Hakuouki (specifically Edo Blossoms/Hakuouki Shinkai, Sannan's route)
Character Age: 30
Faction: Enma, god help us all
Brief Rundown: His deal is that he's the mad scientist good-guy-turned-bad but he's from his romance route so he's not the bad guy, after all. A Shinsengumi swordsman who once lost the use of his arm from an injury, he turned to a secret medicine to restore its use (and his self-worth, he hoped), which basically turned him into a glorified vampire/Demon Lite(tm). He's passive-aggressive and cutting when he's at his worst, playful and curious and warm when he's at his best. But he's usually somewhere nearer his worst. Sorry. He isn't afraid to pull a double-cross or to face death, destruction, or anything else you might want to throw at him.

Initial Ideas: I'm FRESH here so I don't have big plans yet. My hope is that he can settle in a little bit by gaining CR with other Enma folks and branch out from there. The substories (1, 3, and 4 for sure) look interesting (and hilarious), so I'll definitely be tackling those! He's curious as can be, so I doubt it'll take long for him to get into some business he shouldn't, but isn't that the beauty of being the megane?

CR Desires:
- Friends would be great, even if they might be hard to come by.
- Frenemies are a given, as are people who will have intense distaste for him. But he's a kind person at his core when he's not being challenged! It's just that he also just left his love interest and he's a little miffed that he still has to deal with the vampirism.
- Speaking of which, YES I am looking for blood donors, not sorry. He will need it sometimes.
- Roommates/people to get him to not be a hermit.
- People who like sword fighting, people who like tea and relaxing things, science folks, people from later time periods/more highly advanced technological times, people who won't treat him like a jerk just because he's former Shinsengumi... Come one, come all!

Anything else:

[bunnii]

You know... friend, blood donor and also someone who will give him a good shove to not be a hermit, yes.

[threateningly]

This is the most cursed CR but I guess Nazuna has dealt with worse owo!!! I'm EXCITED

[bunnii]

There really is no saving those who have questionable tastes. Yet he's Aware and regrets nothing. I'M VERY EXCITED!!!

[fuckdogramagra]

is 1922 enough to count for a later time period
what about 1945, why the hell are VNs are always like this with time travel stuff

either way, tama has an amazingly atrocious track record of making friends with sus people because hes an oddball himself translation: VN protag so he would probably be like "oh, this guys like that, okay" and just accept the vibes at face value. he works at a cafe and im debating putting up an entry for it because his job might...try to put the tanabata stardust on boba tea...so that might work for something maybe!! ask him a question and he'll gladly coo over all the "modern" amenities of hell, he's gone completely temporally-native

[threateningly]

We love time travel, we love a VN protag who just accepts everything and moves on!!! The Tanabata stardust is cracking me tf up, so I'm super game for that. I mean regardless, I do believe Sannan needs to discover boba.

[fuckdogramagra]

this month is apparently me putting all my work in to tama's npc employment zone but heck it, i made this coffeeshop au with my own two hands

i don't know how much petrol i got in the tank for this week, we'll see how the newbie intro log is, but worst comes to im def going to be putting up the cafe post in the latter half of the month, so there Will be a chance to wander in to the instagram hellhole that is la sonnerie

[threateningly]

I am so impressed with this cafe setting up business, 1000% amazing. sannan will learn all about boba and probably like croissants or something. and I am EXCITED for this.

[fuckdogramagra]

location making is my DM brain's passion and i've only been slowed by needing more architecture nerdery to use for it

which btw anyone can make businesses and stuff so ooc advice is always to go hogwild and have fun with making up a char's employment business situation

[threateningly]

I FINALLY MADE A LOCATION I just popped back here to tell you that I don't have anything exciting to say otherwise. Thank you for the encouragement!!!

[fuckdogramagra]

between the two of us tsukumougami have actual job prospects in jigoku

the teapot at tama's job stopping down at the gym to try and get swole.

[worldbent]

From reading his personality, it sounds like these two could be quite similar LOL

Matoba here is the head of a Shinto exorcist clan from rural Kumamoto! He's from modern(ish) day but quite traditionalist; when you deal with youkai and stuffy clan politics all the time you end up being kind of... old-souled. But his true nature is that of a troublemaking gremlin and he loves twisting people up with his words.

He hates youkai and non-humans but humans that have turned themselves into monsters are particularly ...interesting to them. I think it could be some neat CR!

[threateningly]

Oh my gosh that's really interesting????

Sannan's kind of equal parts sharp-tongued anti-everyone and forgiving to a fault. It's a character flaw or 7 I know. It's worth noting that Sannan's historical counterpart was very not down with harassing religious folks and demanding things from them and that goes somewhat into what prompts him to turn himself Vampire Lite as his opinions on the matter are disregarded. So there's possibly layers of INTERESTING to this!!!

I would be absolutely interested in seeing where they'd go!

[faceturnrevolution]

Sarcastic swordsman with a checkered past involving grievous injuries, you say?

[threateningly]

I DO SAY!!! He just made lemonade with the lemons and by lemonade I mean a serum that turned him pseudo-demon and by lemons I mean demon blood and also being ignored and tossed aside by his peers. You know how it be.

[faceturnrevolution]

Jaika went AWOL from the Jedi order because he felt like they were more interested in preserving the status quo than they were in actually helping people, which led to a fateful duel with his sister, which led to a hyperdrive exploding in his face.

Now not only does the order not trust him anymore, but he's blinded for life. He copes with the sheer awfulness of it all by constantly making terrible jokes about it to hide the furnace of indignant rage that resides in his heart.

[threateningly]

They are going to potentially butt heads on "whys" but Sannan also pretty much left his place in the Shinsengumi over some decisions he disagreed with, went very rogue with his personal soldiers, and... Well okay that's the semi-villain arc but. He's actually doing it for a reason. And the status quo is not it!

Making terrible jokes about your current life situation, CHECK.

[faceturnrevolution]

A sense of humor can help you get along despite numerous personal differences!
