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!

dosei / tamamo

[aphonik]

Player Name: cocoa!
Contact: lupical / horohime#2226 ! you can feel free to message me on either.
Pronouns: she/her
Tell us about yourself: these days i mostly play nothing but ffxiv and dnd, but i also like playing sky, or whatever backlog of otome games i have yet to finish...working through them one twink at a time.

Character Name: dosei
Canon: original character
Character Age: 16-ish (physically). chronologically, around 800 or so.
Faction: tamamo
Brief Rundown: dosei is an abrasive, sullen little flesh puppet with a pair of sewn lips who has hobbies such as picking pockets and kicking people in the shins. easily frustrated due to his inability to speak, he communicates solely through his phone or gestures, and is keen to pick fights if you come across as slighting him in any way. that being said, he is CRAU from slumscape, and has such come to a point he's wisened up to a certain degree. he's much like picking up a stray cat- it may scratch you and try to take your eyes out, but feed give it enough iced tea and eventually you won't be able to get rid of it.

he's also regrettably still possessed by a catty jorogumo by the name of yome. she likes dirty jokes, human flesh, and long walks on the beach.

Initial Ideas: this is already a bit pleasant jump from hagakemachi in his opinion, so for the first time being, he'll be bouncing around gathering his bearings and probably testing the waters. unfortunately, this being a very not-abandoned city, he's more liable to get in trouble for doing things than he wouldn't have back then. he's not thrilled about the idea of being somebody's lackey, but considering the reward he's being promised, he'll likely be going around doing his newfound job without as much of a fuss. he'll also likely be shoving his hands around the entirety of tamamo area just to sate his burning curiosity. definitely far more luxurious than anything he's ever been used to.

CR Desires:
● he is far more capable of making friends than he was before, it's just a matter of finding people who mesh well with his chaotic tendencies and somewhat hairtrigger temper. fellow shorties/immortals (under 5 feet gang), fellow agents of chaos, generally people who can brush off his rudeness and crudeness or throw it back enough to the point he respects it.
● dosei is unfortunately someone who requires a bit of supervision, because while yome is willing to do it now, she's just as bad as him at times and won't stop him from generally committing petty theft and minor acts of arson or otherwise accidentally burning some bridges. has very intense annoying brother energy, but he's easily bribed if you know how to do it. he's been denied a lot of good things in life, so he'll take what you give him pretty easily (and won't give it back).
● negative CR is tasty. dosei is, naturally, very rude and is very unrepentant about it. it wouldn't be out there to assume he's end up making a lot of enemies, especially in this kind of setting. it's a very thin line between people he'll listen to and and people he won't, and if you're the latter, he's more likely to stomp on your foot and flip you off before making for the hills than bothering to heed your words. just watch your fingers near his mouth- he bites, and those teeth are sharp.

Anything else:

I love your OC already and his personality of being a stray cat is (un)fortunately something my own OC girl here, Monts, is fond of... She's an airily cheerful lady on the surface, has little pain sensitivity and is a weird eldritch horror thingy cause the thing under her skin.

Also has barista skills because she's worked at a magic cafe so she can supply the iced teas!

[aphonik]

oh absolutely. please pick up while he throws a fit.

this is an interesting coincidence he also has a lot smaller pain sensitivity and is a weird combination of angelic/eldritch horrors shoved inside a handmade little guy. we can bond....over being unaging fucked up little creatures...

also that is one way to win him over forever. give in to his demands for fruity delights and he will slap a 'liked' sticker on her forehead

[medicative]

even with that personality, emily's going to be happy to see him again because it means he wasn't erased with the rest of the world...lets him touch all the nice things

[aphonik]

imagine...somebody being happy to see him
ironically he will be glad to see her but god forbid he admit it. that would mean he has feelings.

at least he has someone he can turn to when he has the Questions. teach me emily sensei...

[medicative]

she'll do her best to answer them all. her or the bird that still lives in her head since getting out of hakagemachi doesn't mean leaving them behind, actually.

you need a meat guy, yome...just ask

[aphonik]

wao....he'll take the bird, too. might be better than the spider, honestly. the days of peace are over

when the stitches come out eventually it's over for everyone

[medicative]

hibki's awful but they love other youkai so it's a questionable moment

waiting for that day to come

[murrvelous]

SHAKES YOU LIKE A RAT

[aphonik]

biting you biting you biting you biting you biting you biting

[murrvelous]

biting me only makes me stronger... oooh you're gonna get it

[aphonik]

begone thot

[murrvelous]

never.

[adversus]

oh goodness, I do love the sound of your OC.

Back at home, she tends to give extra time to the people who are more likely to committing crimes/who have fallen into a life of crime so it's right down her alley!

[aphonik]

and i love yours!!! she seems delightful

listen...he can't help he's a little predisposed to crime...if you dropped a little human simulacrum into the world for a couple hundred years without teaching it to do math i don't think you could blame it for wanting to find out what happens when you set someone's ass on fire

[adversus]

thank you so much!!

oh my gOD she's gonna be chasing him down to the ends of the hell to make sure he doesn't do anything like that. it's gonna be. very interesting because she's concerned, but also AMUSED??

[aphonik]

she is welcome to try...he is very fast, on his short little legs. it's fine he needs people to chain him down and remind him that he is indeed, a little stupid

it's healthy and it's free

[adversus]

catch them being like this in the middle of the sanzu river

what good exercise!!

[aphonik]

hHFHKSJD she's gonna need a big fucking net!!!

i'm very excited, i love this. it's what he deserves tbh

[girlworker]

hi im marion and this is helly. dosei sounds really cool and i'd love to get some threading going. she's an equally easy to frustrate person and pretty standoffish but she will be a lot more patient with him given his speaking issue.

[aphonik]

hello marion!! thank you so much, he's just a little bastard creature

i applaud her for giving him patience to begin with when he's so insufferable but mayhaps they may come to an understanding...bonding over 'i hate my fucking job and i wanna quit'

[exiguous]

hello cocoa...this is coco....spiderman meme

dosei is really neat. mona would absolutely throw shade back at him, and that sounds like it'd be a lot of fun!

[aphonik]

my evil alter ego...

he is absolutely not but he wishes he was. he would gladly be a pain in the ass, 24/7, for free. baby fights out in the streets
