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!

Contact: PM | positron#5752 |
I prefer discord over plurk, and I use plurk mostly as a contact method. But feel free to add me on either!
Pronouns: Any
Tell us about yourself: I like my fandoms obscure, my characters unhinged, and my CRs weird! And I'm horrible at intros, sowwy uwu
Character Name: Saito Sejima
Canon: AI: The Somnium Files
Character Age: 30
Faction: Department of The Enma
Brief Rundown: Spoilers for his canon below because this guy is a walking spoiler. And this is even the most spoiler-free description I could come up with.
Saito is, to put it bluntly, a high-functioning psychopath with an addiction to murder. He was born with a dysfunction that prevents his brain from properly secreting the hormone oxytocin, an important hormone that possesses a stress relieving effect and promotes social behavior. In plainer words, he can't experience the emotion commonly known as "love". This alone wouldn't be a huge problem if his faulty brain didn't also reward him with huge amounts of dopamine and endorphin whenever he takes a life, especially human lives. Making the act of killing the only way he can feel pleasure.
That's not to say he's going to strangle the first person he sees on the streets. He can pretend like he's a remotely normal person, and usually has just enough self-control to adapt and play roles when necessary. Though if it seems he can get away with his actions, things can get really messy. As in... bloody messy.
Initial Ideas:
Still getting the feel of the game so no concrete ideas yet. But I'm looking to do some tagging into the Ember and Tanabata substories.
CR Desires:
Saito's inability to feel love in the sense most people do and, on a lesser degree, his psychological dependence on murder both impose some tricky restrictions on relationships that require even the lowest level of intimacy. On one hand, as far as his addiction goes, the Department of the Enma will be making him do some of the dirtier work for them. That will most likely keep him satisfied and less likely to risk getting himself in trouble. On the other hand, his chemical imbalance might not have an easy fix, but I want to tackle the challenge and explore the more human side to him whenever possible, without crossing the boundary into OOC-ness.
With that said, most of his CR will probably be neutral or negative, but I'm all down for attempts at positive CR, slow-burn or otherwise! Relationships based on mutual gain or interests/goals will likely be a lot easier and quicker to build. Maybe if anyone in Enma shares his passion for the edgier stuff like killing, torture or the like, they could become murder buddies
I'm sorry, this is a terrible idea but it's one I'd kill for (pun intended).Anything else:

So, hi Yun, welcome to the game! I'm Mai and I play my OC Monts here! She has little to no pain sensitivity due to her alien condition under her skin and she can heal up from a lotta major injuries (though I haven't submitted her regains so now it's just VERY SLOW). Just a weird creature no one really knows whadda heck.
She has almost went on a murder rampage, but was stopped so now she's mostly chill so I think it'd be interesting when she encounters the murder-y types 👀 I'll keep an eye out for him, hope you have fun during your stay!
no subject
But hi Mai! I have to confess I saw you somewhere on the tdm and looked through your icons because Monts looked so adorable, such a cute OC you have there :3c
If she ever goes on another murder rampage and needs a helping hand with it, you know what to do. ;*)
no subject
Kamui here is from a DIFFERENT adv/vn with eyeball themes (or at least he was before he rolled into the No More Heroes series!) so i would love to throw them together! his view on killing is super practical-- he'll do it with no hesitation if it's needed but feels pretty neutral about it-- so having to cooperate with Saito who'd be having a blast lol could be really interesting. I'm down to see what happens on a substory or with whatever plot happens later in the month if you are!
no subject
but at the same time I'm so scared I might spoil things for others who haven't completed/played the game!?? hahah, plz helpSadly, I don't know Kamui or his canon at all, but I'm all down for that interaction! Just like Saito was "I don't get Rohan's obsession with eyes", I can already see Kamui going "I don't get this guy's obsession with murder" asdkjasdkj. I mean, also imagine being forced to temporarily babysit a manchild who's so thirsty for his fix, so he doesn't ruin your task or mission or whatever... It can't go right. It just can't.
no subject
i actually learned recently-ish that his original game (The Silver Case/the Kill the Past series) was one of Uchi's inspirations for AI?! Tonally they are not similar at all but they do have uhhh conspiracies and eyeballs in common lmao. Anyway, Kamui's been here a bit and he used to be a detective despite being a Shuten now too; Saito I believe in you, please give him a headache!!
no subject
For some recent Enma additions, murder as a motivating factor is not a deal-breaker.
no subject
seriously though is Enma okay??no subject
And Enma is FINE.
Enma is juuuuuust fiiiiiiine.
no subject
It couldn't be any better. I don't know why people are questioning Enma's judgement, pfft. Fools.
no subject
That said I have been told that i need to throw Fukuda at this guy! Hi I am Caitie I play this guy who is the John Mulaney of serial killers
no subject
there's only so much I can do to avoid a certain spoiler even if it's completely without context... it still pains me every time someone tells me they're looking to play the game. I get both happy and WORRIED, lmao. IT'S COMPLICATED adsjhasdjasBuuut I just read a little bit about Fukuda so I won't be super canon blind when it happens so, yeah, please throw him at Saito whenever you want!
