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!

Character Name: shylock bennett
Canon: mahoutsukai no yakusoku, or mahoyaku for short. also known as promise of wizard/the wizard's promise.... idk man
Character Age: 1500+, but you really shouldn't ask shylock's age if you know what's good for you :)
Faction: tamamo
Brief Rundown: shylock is the owner and bartender of a wizards-only bar in western country! western wizards in particular are, politely put, fucking coconuts, and shylock is definitely one of them despite appearing as a refined and sexy man of indeterminate age -- he's all about the ~aesthetics~ and goes about at his own pace, and is a shameless flirt and unbelievably horny on main. he has a #complicated relationship with a dear friend, murr, who he's trying to raise as his own personal catboy after the idiot went and got his soul shattered by the moon, aka his one true love, because it's that kind of series. that said he's a pretty personable guy and is very unflappable; he is mostly unfazed by a lot of things because he himself is bonkers fucking yonkers.

he is also the proprietor of his own bar,

he is also the proprietor of his own bar in jigoku, hemlock! do give it a visit sometime.

Initial Ideas:

still trapped in backtag mountain with him, so ill mostly be tagging out this month!! he'll want to do tanabata stuff because he actually kind of knows what that tradition is! yay. he's also being hounded by the media because of his involvement with making the incense that helps keep the cursed energy away, but other than that ill be very chill with him this july as he touches base with his current cr and make connections with new ones!

CR Desires:

- FRIENDS! shylock is quite eccentric but he's extremely cool and collected, nothing bothers him at all even the more aggressive guys, so if y'all want a really chill guy to talk to, he's here!
- FELLOW TIMTAMS i gotta reach out more, weeps..... we sluts gotta stick together
- drinking buddies! or more customers at his bar, really. let him hear you out on your woes while nursing a nice cold one, mayhaps. he's not one to judge at all at what u do and can even offer some advice thanks to his worldly experience.
- enemies, because sometimes shylock's just fucking weird. rarely anything fazes him though, so feel free to have him live in your chara's mind rent-free.
- wizards, and other magical folk! he'd like to know if there's any more like him out there...
- cat-adjacents........ listen, he has a type.
- fwbs, bc i usually handwave all sorts of fuckin but now i wanna sit back, chill, and thread some sexy things for once.
