July OOC Intro / CR meme!

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!

Player Name: Jen
Contact: aurajen Feel free to add me!
Pronouns: she/her
Tell us about yourself: Hello!! I am Jen and I always find these so hard to do LOL. I am an artist working in a screenprinting shop by day, RPer by night. I am big into gaming and play just about anything that catches my interest — which means that I have a huge backlog that I need to work through at any given time. I like to rant about the fandoms that I’m into (usually Final Fantasy, MCU, right now a lot of GAA) and chat about whatever I happen to be playing at the time. I’m more of a lurker on plurk than anything else, but feel free to add me, because I like seeing what others are getting up to.

Character Name: Herlock Sholmes
Canon: The Great Ace Attorney
Character Age: 34
Faction: Tamamo Clan
Brief Rundown: Sholmes is his canon’s version of that famous fictional detective with his name jumbled around for localization purposes. He gives off the impression of being goofy, somewhat obnoxious, and wildly eccentric — none of which are completely inaccurate, though beneath the performative surface is a brilliant mind that rarely pulls the curtain back to reveal all that he’s thinking. He is always looking for a mystery to solve, or something to keep his mind stimulated; there is nothing that puts him in a sulkier mood than inactivity and boredom. Generally just exudes himbo vibes until he doesn’t. Enjoys the violin, caramel chocolates, disguises, questionable chemical experiments, and sometimes eating soap.

Initial Ideas: Sholmes is basically tailor-made for investigating the goings-on within the city, so I would like a chance to lean into that more. The whole debacle with last month’s event is a good jumping-off point for any other characters hoping to stick their noses further into that mess. Alternately, whatever big plot event on the horizon is fair game, as well. I may try to submit for a rank-up in his faction if I can scramble enough points together for it this month.

Other than that, I don’t have any major plans beyond expanding his CR. I will likely focus on tagging out for the substories, too, so please do not hesitate to reach out if you wanna do a thing!

CR Desires:

He is always open to making friends.

And he is always open to taking younger characters under his wing and slowly subsuming them into the found family category if necessary, this is fine.

Fellow detectives or other investigative types!

Characters he can get into trouble with because of said nosy, investigative nature. It’s okay, we all know he’s kind of obnoxiously stubborn.

Please give me a reason to dress him up in drag. Does someone need a lady Sholmes for any reason whatsoever? Sure you do!!

Fellow 30-somethings!

Musical types? He plays a mean violin.

I’m open to negative CR, as well, which I think might be entertaining in its own way. It is hard to sincerely get under Sholmes’ skin, though, so keep that in mind!

The usual cop-out answer, but ANYTHING!

Anything else: I have a permissions post here for reference. Also:

Two things

1. Jon is going to absolutely try looking into whatever happened last month so he's going to be a nosy dude asking a lot of questions
2. Jen I now get to bug you in TWO games now with smug English pricks

[retroductions]

aaa what I DIDN'T KNOW YOU APPED

Yes please I only know about Jon through rp osmosis but I think they would be a great pair gremlin-ing it up as they stick their noses into plot business!

The power of two smug Englishmen, surely this will go well!!

[eyediot]

SURPRISE.

Honestly he'll need a second set of eyes to stop him from being stupid. Or help. Or both.
