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!

ultradude discord xc#6770 feel free to add me pm me w/e
Pronouns: He/him
Tell us about yourself: Inconsistent job hours, inconsistent tag hours, sometimes I'll boomerang like a beast sometimes I'll let things sit for a week. Just treat me like some kind of creature. As for hobbies I just sit around playing games of various sorts and watching anime or vtubers. I've watched a lot of Gundam and a random smattering of anime of various ages and genres. I can also talk about food for a long time.

Character Name: Chris
Canon: Cross Ange: Rondo of Angel and Dragon
Character Age: 16
Faction: Shuten
Brief Rundown: Chris is from a setting with a weird discrimination metaphor that got her sent as an infant to an all girls prison island where they fight dragons in giant robots. She's timid but trying to get more assertive, can be nice to her friends but is also absolutely a little shit. She's good at sucking up to people who are confident and strong, but can still boss around her girlfriend Rosalie who acts tough and then crumples easily. The fact that no one here knows that they should treat her like some kind of subhuman is freaking her bean.

Initial Ideas: Chris is just desperately going to want to settle in. Settle into her living quarters, settle in to how to get money, figure out what qualifies as doing a job here, and establish connections with people who seem like they know what they're doing. She's not at all immediately ambitious when she's still getting her feet under her. At least she's in the fighty faction, so that's basically her job? From before? Just without a giant robot, help pls?

Chris will probably go looking for stardust at least, as that sounds like a relatively easy way to get herself some brownie points right up until she meets a pretty girl around her age and realizes that it's jazzing up her desires. Whoops.

CR Desires: Honestly everything's good. This girl desperately needs friends, including fellow fucked up child soldiers, positive influence adults, people she can get into dumb arguments with, and frankly even though she has a gf and kind of another one back home, that stuff is not at all off the table. Hers is a setting full of young adults crammed into a tiny space and sent into constant near death situations, there's a lot of fuckin'.

Anything else: she came here to laugh at you
