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!

svensational on plurk and people are free to add me! I'm also on the Discord (svensational#5444) and if you ever need me feel free to ping.
Pronouns: He/They both work fine!
Tell us about yourself: Heya, I'm Sven! I'm a community manager/soon to be Quality Assurance person in the indie game dev sector who is in a constant war with his sleep schedule (it's winning). I'm in est but my tags usually come in later in the evening to early morning because of the above. I'm an insane tabletop nut, constantly writing something, cursed with comprehensive lore about scooby-doo, play FFXIV along with a random scatterplot of any other games that catch my interest, and an overall chatterbox.

Character Name: Cloud Strife
Canon: Final Fantasy VII
Character Age: 21
Faction: Sutoku Alliance (⭐)
Brief Rundown:

I'm going to assume most people here know, at a baseline, who Cloud Strife might be, but as a quick rundown: The blonde-haired big-sword-wielding protagonist of Final Fantasy VII is a mess of neuroses, self-delusions, and other fun mental party tricks, all while putting up the facade of a cool hero guy. Usually cynical and stern and a bit of a dick, Cloud comes from the near-end of Final Fantasy VII: Remake. Which means his facade of indifference and scorn isn't quite as ironclad as in OG, and in-game events have mellowed him out a bit, even if he's still got a list of psychological problems that are a mile long.

Cloud is going to be spending most of this month (and... probably next) on the mend. As part of the Kaigo no Bou infiltration, Cloud gambled his life to strike at the heart of the curse, and were it not for some careful preparations and the tiniest sliver of luck, he may have died. As a result, he's going to be not very physically active this month where he can get away with it, and flexing his brand-new promotion within Sutoku to try and continue to do what he can while his ribs heal and he stops feeling like his insides are on fire when he moves too much and too quickly.

Initial Ideas:

As stated, Cloud's going to be taking it easy... physically. He's still going to be getting into people's business as he can.

Next on Cloud's agenda for regains (since recovering future mako enhancements and his Buster Sword don't feel right when he's technically on the mend) is going to be his sick-ass motorcycle from the end of Remake: The Hardy-Daytona! A beast of a machine, it'll also let Cloud go around helping people ferry stuff to-and-fro as his usual sidequest-itis makes itself known.

Character-wise, the wall Cloud's put up inside himself has started to fracture a little - there's more than a few people who know something is off with Cloud, and he himself is aware there's a large chunk of something missing that he can't put together. If you want to poke at this, feel free! He may be cagey or not, depending on who does it - established CR will have an easier in, but if there's some kindred spirits, he might yet open up.

He's also working with Minakami to handle some of the legwork with regards to the footage - mostly making sure his half of the Kaigo no Bou expedition is part of the footage, and possibly helping get the footage to the Kappa after everyone who's tried their hand at cleaning it up has gotten a chance to do so, and see what their tech-edge can produce. This is slow-burn, so please don't feel the need to tap at this right away!

As far as Substories, Tanabata/Stardust-gathering will be my main focus for the month! As a 1-star on Sutoku's faction ladder, he does have some responsibilities and will likely be involved in helping with that in his own way. It also means that some of Cloud's CR has the chance to get messy, which I'm always for. Please feel free to tell me what you want here and we'll try and work it out!

CR Desires: I love getting all sorts of CR, and oftentimes I don't set out to get a 'specific' CR so much as I let the interactions play out. I'm pretty much up for anything people are looking for from Cloud, though some of it might be harder than others.

SVEN WE HAVE ACTUALLY RUN INTO EACH OTHER AT SOME POINT IN CLOVER'S SERVER

that aside, rubs hands together I would love these two soldiers/militant brats to have CR at some point, given that they're in the same faction

OH SHIT SO WE HAVE HELLO LILITH

Yes! I love CR that is Cloud getting to hang with various mercenaries/soldiers/etc, especially given they're both in Sutoku, I definitely will try and poke at Marie in the near future! More people getting to talk about being military brats is always fun.

SWEET shooting the shit about being soldiers and sTRUGGLING WITH HOW LOW THEIR PAYRATE IS will make for good bickering tbh. (i was replaying the remake earlier and laughed with how Tifa literally just gives the man 500 gil after literally breaking and entering shira property)

i look forward to tagging with you sven!! <3

its probably a bad time to teach someone about a motorcycle but

the mental image of tama trying to catch the stardust with a bugnet while siting on the back of cloud's motorcycle is delightfully stupid so maybe if they get high enough to get past pesky things like pain receptors or fear of becoming a roadway pizza,

mina is going to fucking kill him by which i mean let's fucking do it
