Because I got an idea, and now I may want to drag you into it as well...
Favourites, favourites, favourites...
Who are your favourites and why?
I'm the type of player that gets hooked on a character like a drug, and then it consumes me for a little while (...or a slightly longer while if I feed it... Years, sometimes). I'm fairly boring in that regard -- one primary favourite is more than enough.
My first Ikemen obsession was Masamune. Lord, I loved his route. I think his character construction is extremely interesting -- he's wild, he's a flirt, he's fearless, but... Below all that, there's actually a very capable, reliable person. An anxious person. A person who doesn't consider himself to be enough, who strives extremely hard to make up for his own insufficient nature, who chooses to wear strength like a piece of armour. A person who's so afraid to lose somebody yet once again that he chooses not to be attached in the first place. I adored his curiosity and his diligence. Masamune always made it all look so effortless, but if we go by what master Kosai said, it was anything but.
But that mix is what got me invested. Raising to strength despite your weaknesses, overcoming yourself, abandoning the ugly, imperfect parts to then return to them... Ugh!
In a way, I got the hit of the same poison when I read Chevalier's route. Granted, he's more than perfect if we go by academic accomplishments or physical prowess, but he also is seen as lacking in fundamental ways. He's moulded by duty, defined by it, and yet... Even if he can carry the label effortlessly, the things he yearns for are outside his reach precisely because of it. He's reliable. Capable. Intelligent. Accomplished... Troubled by preparing a date plan and -- according to him -- insufficient in his care. He doesn't reject the objections against him, rather, Chevalier chooses to accept and affirm them. There is something soft about him, hidden beneath all that ruthless hardness, and it just begs to be soothed, to be seen. There is a fragile, sweet side to him even he is blind to.
And you know what?
When the strong are weak my knees can barely stand it.
Too.
Goddamn.
GOOD.

@the12thnightproject @my-day6 @iphigeniainaulis @jinniedoesblogging @rkmaru @oda-princess , wanna share your experiences too? :3 And maybe tag your friends if you want to... we could make it a game :3 Make your own post, reblog this one, anything that gets us all talking :3
And if you're seeing it and feel like doing it? Oh come on, you're invited to! Bring a friend along and tag me in your post so that I can see it! I'm curious!
If magic is born out of a strong wish or desire... What if Rollo's magic came precisely because of that? Because of his disdain for magic, his need to eradicate it, to cleanse the world off it...
One day I found out that wolves have a SUPER limited color spectrum (they see everything as yellow and blue) and since then I headcanon that Licht is colorblind. Not to that point, but it's noticeable.
When they were younger and Sariel suspected they'd switched to mess with him, he'd just ask them what color something was and made sure "Nokto" was the first one to answer.
Belle shows him her nails and he goes "that's a very pretty blue. matches my uniform" "licht, it's pink…"
idk if it's a right place to ask, but: i'm just starting ikemen sengoku and my favs are: Mitsuhide, Sasuke, Yoshimoto, Keiji, Ranmaru and (from the jp guys) Hisahire and Yoshiteru.
So, as you can see I'm torn.
I miss all those ikemen twitter posts, where an official account would compare LI's to those from their earlier games ... so could y'all help me?? :33
Just lmk what ikepri/ikevil charas are the most similar to my ikesen types... i'd be very grateful 🥹❤️
I think you may enjoy Clavis and Yves in Pri. :D Clavis has that scientific element to him, with a good pinch of secrecy, mysteries, working in the dark, and scheming. Yves... He has two sides to him too, although they're both endearing. He's also very appreciative of art and all things beautiful. I'd describe him as fairly gentle.
Guide for Linking your IkeSen JP account to your IkeSen Eien JP
By connecting your IkeSen JP account to the new IkeSen Eien JP app, you can receive bonuses including gacha items, parfaits, chapter tickets, etc. (We might eventually keep other things like some closet items in a future update)
This is a rundown of what I did to transfer my account over. Hope this helps!
This post from shatcey and reccyls from earlier today is another great guide if you need more info!
Step 1: Obtain your Transfer codes on IkeSen JP
Go to the IkeSen Eien banner, then select the second tab
Here, you will generate two codes: a Transfer ID and a Transfer Verification code for your IkeSen Eien account.
Generate your codes by pressing the large button as shown on the middle screenshot
After they're created, you can either use the pink buttons to copy them to your phone's clipboard, or you can just write them down on a piece of paper
~*~*~
Step 2: Go to the account Link page on IkeSen Eien
On IkeSen Eien, find the transfer page on the main screen. Look for the small orange banner with Sasuke's face!
On the middle screenshot where the white rectangle is, there will be two empty bars for you to paste each code into. Unfortunately I do not have a screenshot of the form, only after I already transferred (┬┬﹏┬┬) The post I linked above has a screenshot of what it looks like.
Paste your Transfer ID first, then your Transfer Verification code. There should be a button to start the transfer.
If it goes through, you will see your game name in IkeSen JP and your total Beauty and Grace. (Seen on your Stats page)
Remember: you can only transfer once!
Note: you will still be able to keep playing on your IkeSen JP account even after the transfer. All you're doing is linking the two accounts together. You won't lose anything!
Press the transfer button beneath your IkeSen JP info, and you should be all done!
Depending on your accumulated stats (from your account's creation to August 25th 2025), you'll receive items such as Parfaits and Chapter Tickets. This post from reccyls is an excellent rundown of IkeSen Eien, including what you might get by transferring!
TROUBLESHOOTING
When I attempt to transfer, I get an error message.
This happened to me. I went back to IkeSen JP to copy the Transfer ID again, and it worked! The transfer ID had changed as Cybird updated the codes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The new transfer ID should be 10 digits long. If the old one still shows up, clear your cache and try again
Where are the other routes? My progress on my current suitor's route is also gone
Cybird will be slowly adding all existing routes into IkeSen Eien. For now, we have Nobunaga's 3 routes, Masamune's route, Kenshin's route, and a couple of the new guys
idk if it's a right place to ask, but: i'm just starting ikemen sengoku and my favs are: Mitsuhide, Sasuke, Yoshimoto, Keiji, Ranmaru and (from the jp guys) Hisahire and Yoshiteru.

Stories with Katarina as main character will be represented with the 🩷 emoji.
PLEASE DO TELL ME ABOUT TYPOS AND GRAMMAR MISTAKES !!
Birthday : February 14th (aged 26)
Nicknames : Kat (Artemisa, Nadia), Goldie Locks (Silvio, Sienna)
Universe : Ikemen Prince
Katarina had excused herself somewhere and simply left the bakery, and Artemisa was fighting with the pastries she hadn’t finished making yet, so only Rio and [Isabella] were actually taking care of the clients. “And she still gets paid…” he murmured disapprovingly.
Hair : Blonde
Eye Color : Dark Brown
Family : Parents (Unknown; probably alive)
Place of Birth : Somewhere in eastern Benitoite
Occupation : Waitress at Ambroise's Pastries, witch
Paired with : Yves Kloss
Katarina wasn't a complete slacker, despite what many could deduce based on her coworkers opinions of her and the way she tended to carry herself while at the bakery.
No, she actually was quite skillful. On the one hand, she was in charge of both the bakery's and her coven's finances, which resulted in the many jabs directed at her for her Benitoitian roots. On the other hand, she was Aida's main beck-and-call girl, meaning that every time she wasn't doing her earnest best at her job (which, according to certain sources, was quite often), she was probably planning how to help out her crazy friend yet again.
She didn't need more than that. Isabella dreamt of changing things on a national level? Good for her, although unrealistic. Artemisa's head was full of fairy tales and that had her willing to ditch everything for a prince she had barely talked to? She would support her through everything and be there when the royal asshole (as they all were) disappointed her.
Katarina liked to believe herself as a realistic person. It would be nice to be able to pursue a higher education. A particular fantasy of hers was working at Court, especially after learning that Rhodolite had one single female minister, but she knew it wasn't possible. They would get caught at some point, and the coven would have to move to a different country yet again.
And caught they were.
“Are you just trying to entertain yourself with my awful love life?” “Awful? You have two of the most attractive men I’ve ever seen crazy in love with you! I sure hope you’re into blondes…”
character details/origins and opinions on other ocs below the cut
➙ 🩷 On Kat as a character
Katarina's story actually develops fairly after the King election process. Mostly because for her arc to truly begin, there are two people needed: one that is understandingly focused on Belle for that whole month, and another that doesn't show up until halfway through her stay in the palace. So her main story happens not only after the new King of Rhodolite is chosen, but also away from Rhodolite itself, and her love story happens after coming back.
I'm excited to write Yves and Kat, because they're the only ones that don't get along upon first meeting. There is another OC that doesn't want anything to do with her love interest, but that is more a fight-or-flight response than her actually disliking him. Kat thinks Yves is a bit of an elitist, and Yves thinks Kat is a frivolous, lazy woman with no purpose but to annoy him specifically. They prove each other wrong without intending to.
➙ 🩷 Kat on my other OCs
¹ Aida : “She's real fun. I think the princes don't like her just because they aren't used to her, 'cause honestly? She's just like Lady Dorothea. When we're talking about attitude, at least.”
² Penelope : “Oh! She dislikes me, I'm pretty sure. She doesn't talk around me, and she always has this face… Eh? What's that? That's just her face? Well, then I think she just doesn't give crap about me. We've never talked.”
³ Dorothea : “Cool. Really admirable. It's a bit eerie, how she's always smiling, but I guess she and her fiancé have that in common. I think I cannot say anything else without looking like a fangirl.”
⁴ Sienna : “She has been really good to me. Ever since we met, she's done nothing but shower me in compliments and invite me everywhere. I'm grateful.”
⁶ Nadia : “She seems very playful. At the very least, she enjoys teasing Sienna a lot. When meeting someone like her, you expect more of a rigid person. And don't get me wrong, she is very regal, but she's also somewhat like a normal girl our age.”
⁷ Artemisa : “Oh, the apple of my eye. Few people will be able to name a kinder person, and they will be lying, because I doubt that's humanly possible. I'm so bummed that idiotic prince got her to change some of her recipes. I don't care if he's a good baker. No, I haven't tried the new versions. I'm protesting.”
⁸ Isabella : “Too earnest. Loosen up! I know Rio and her criticized me a lot. I don't blame her. She only did it because she has this amazing work ethic that only a madman would be able to follow. She wants the best for everyone, deep down. No wonder she's Belle.”
﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌
The information I gave above the cut refers to what is true for her right when Isabella gets appointed as Belle (excepting the nicknames). This is true for all my OCs.
yk the three-way event on ikevil?? how would they do that on ikepri??
I'm saying this bc 1. I'm a perv and 2. We've got ourselves a fun half and half with the guys where half are all related to one another and the other half is related to two of the others at most.
I'd imagine they'd avoid pairing Rhodolitian princes together as well as Gilbert-Yves (that sounds like a horrible idea either way), Silvio-Rio (again, terrible idea) and Azel-either of the twins. But that means that we have to pair each of the foreign princes with a Rhodolitian one to avoid incest, assuming that that's the idea
The obvious is Gilbert-Chev, I guess? I don't know what to think of the others. Just based on vibes I'd say Sariel-Jin, Clavis-Matias (they're fun in Clavis' sequel and polar opposites policies-wise, it'd be fun imo), Silvio-Nokto?? I think Rio-Nokto is also a possibility, just based on their dynamic in both their main routes.
I don't think they'll do it bc of the amount of people that are related in this game, but it's fun. And because realistically speaking, in what world would Licht Klein, Mr. "I built us a villa bc my brothers exist around us and that annoys me", agree to such a thing?
I also thought Leon and Keith because they get paired together in quite some events!! I was thinking of a particular one that also paired Chev&Clavis and the twins, and that's how I begun considering the whole "avoid incest" thing jsjsjsj
They do, and man, they'd make for a really nice sandwich >////<
Wait, Chev and Clavis, and twins... Would you help me remember what event it was? :o The first one that came to mind was the body swap event, but I don't remember whether the twins were there.
