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!

robin laffite | visual prison | tamamo

[sweetsong]

Character Name: Robin Laffite
Canon: Visual Prison
Character Age: 18
Faction: Tamamo
Brief Rundown: Robin is a former virtuoso whose twin brother, Jack, mysteriously disappeared when they were eight years old and performing in church choirs. Ten years later and by pure chance, he came across a poster while performing in Europe that showed a familiar, unaged face in a visual kei unit. Robin dropped everything and immediately traveled to Japan, where he'd end up not only encountering his twin brother but would also exchange his mortal life for one that embraces darkness and eternity. He is the first member to join Ange Yuki in the vocal unit O★Z, whose name is an allusion to "The Wizard of OZ".

Robin loves sweets, his brother, and his favorite color is 'innocent yellow'. In one episode, he is transformed into a bunny boy. The anime itself is pretty freaking ridiculous and the music is incredible (Elements Garden btw).

Initial Ideas: He'll definitely enjoy the festivities of tanbata, especially after the cursed blood rain and all that nonsense. The one thing that Robin saw a lot in his delusions was his twin brother, so he may be a little more melancholy and wistful than his normally cheery self. Other than that, Robin will also be collecting as much of that Stardust as he can, though he won't be consuming or selling it. He won't be lured in with the idea of using it at the moment, especially because he recently regained some of his vampire power and would love nothing more than to play around with it (what is it--- it's a surprise). Catch him in the bars and clubs of Tamamo, though he only works in one at the moment and would like to keep it that way!

CR Desires: Robin continues to need friends of all kinds. He's not someone who will be turned off by initially rude or mean-spirited people and will earnestly try to find the best in them! However, he's not without his limits--- he hasn't reached them here YET--- but he will defend those he loves to the death and is a lot more powerful than he probably seems?

He's a vampire, so. He'll naturally find some kinship with non-humans. Robin's a singer and loves music of all kinds. Finally, he really loves family... those who have siblings, especially twins? He wants to hear about them. He misses his own a lot.

murr hart | mahoutsukai no yakusoku | sutoku

[murrvelous]

Character Name: Murr Hart
Canon: Mahoutsukai no Yakusoku
Character Age: 1500-ish, looks in the mid 20s
Faction: Sutoku
Brief Rundown: Before having his soul shattered into pieces by the Great Calamity, Murr Hart was a renowned scholar, researcher, and jeweler. He was a pain in the ass; a very arrogant and smug wizard who normally talked down to anyone that he met. Basically, admired by disliked. However, once he got too close to the moon? This personality was broken into shards and sent all over the place. The Western wizard Shylock Bennett is the one responsible for the current Murr's personality: one that is much more mischievous and eccentric, friendly and curious, but can be uncontrollable and unconsciously cruel at times too. He hates sitting still, hates being bored, and loves lying on a couch pretending to be a loaf. Murr can and will bite and scratch, but he might also lick those spots later. Cat-adjacent.

Initial Ideas: Someone who loves the moon won't be able to help himself when it comes to something called Stardust, so there's that. Probably would indulge in some of it too, especially if it means he can see his beloved up close and personal again! Murr, as a Western wizard, will also be part of those festivities as they come around. He loves parties. Loves crowds. Loves magic tricks and all of those kinds of things, so. He will be there.

CR Desires: Other magic-users, especially other wizards! He will try to fit that cat-shaped hole in your character's life, whether they like it or not, and has no problems with antagonizing people (strangers or otherwise).
