“A King without a domain is a King undeserving of his crown.”

NAME: Shingetsu Touya

AGE: 16

CLAN: KingsGATE

NUMBER: Around 100-300 clansmen, unconfirmed.

RANK: The Grey King

PERSONALITY: A king not only in name, Touya carries himself with the airs of regal authority, even in contrast to the majority of his clan members. Haughty, arrogant and aloof, Touya looks down on anyone who isn’t his clanmates. He barely considers other Kings to be his rival, believing himself to be ‘invincible’ compared to them. He speaks of lofty ideals, yet hides his disgust at society for the abandonment he suffered. His sole purpose is to rebuild a society that doesn’t revolve around Kings and Clans; he wants to become the one true and benevolent ruler of those who had been abandoned or left behind.

Despite his arrogant demeanor, Touya is well-learned, largely self taught from many plundered books within his ‘kingdom’. His personal vow is never to owe anyone anything whatsoever and will never turn on his own word. He absolutely abhors liars and those who break their promises. The sword that hangs above him is not something he takes very lightly. Having found that the very same power was the same that took everything from him, he is careful never to use his power excessively, to preserve his longevity. After all, a King must rule for many years to come.

BIOGRAPHY: Ever since that day, Touya had known nothing but loss. Robbed of his precious family, he was appalled to find that he...was simply blotted away. Not only was his family killed by reckless Kings, they dared murder his family once again by simply erasing them in vague hopes of forgetting the sin of the Kagutsu incident. Enraged by this, he eventually came to curse at the powers that made it all possible, even when that same power was, ironically, bestowed upon him.

He rallied those who were simply left behind by what he saw as this ‘unfair’ and ‘unjust’ society: the poor, the destitute and the homeless were quick to flock to the fledgling King. He claimed a derelict fishing port, long abandoned and soon established his ‘Kingdom’ there. With supposed ‘regal’ virtue he declared himself as a King within his own territory, perpetually shrouded by deep fog. Anyone who attempted to enter into his realm unwanted would only be lost within the fog, deceived by dancing shadows and the prying eyes of his clansmen lying in wait.

Whenever the fog falls within any part of town, KingsGATE emerges from within. Silenced and obscured by the fog, Touya’s clansmen pretty much steal whatever isn’t bolted down or held by anyone.  By the time the fog fades, he and his clansmen disappear without a trace, stores cleaned out of food, medicine and building materials. Time and time again other Kings have tried to challenge him, but were lost hopelessly within the dense fog cast by his Aura. Even other Kings cannot so easily penetrate within the veil of fog.

For this reason, Touya believes himself to be more of a King than any of the other Clan members: no one would try to violate his territory, even less would attempt to fight him when the fog would obscure even where his clansmen would be.

POWER: Unlike his predecessor Tenkei Iwafune, Shingetsu Touya’s fog has very poor defensive measures. If anything, Touya can easily be the absolute worst King in terms of combat capability.

However, Touya’s strength lies not in defense or offense, but rather, in his ability to hide and obscure. Wherever there is fog, Touya can obscure his form, muffling out any sound and severely limiting one’s vision inside. However all of his Clansmen can perfectly see and hear through the cloud, making engagements within his aura a foolish choice. He and his clansmen can also appear and disappear with the fog, able to travel great distances in the blink of an eye, so long as they are covered by the Fog and appear in an area where there is Fog.

His approach is started by his faithful Clansmen, who designate an area and then use their Aura to call the Fog. Only then would he and his other clansmen appear, taking whatever they need before disappearing with the Fog.

While his powers are incredibly limited, he relies on his Fog purely to defend his realm. He makes no attempts to encroach upon other territories, content only to defend the land he calls his own. His clansmen, composed of the homeless, the destitute and those left behind by society respect his every measure and even runs his territory as if it was another city within: doctors, self-taught teachers and even buskers number among his Clan.

His Fog is strongest within his own domain. Because he rarely ever engages in combat, he can afford to create fog so thick that not even other Kings could approach it without difficulty. From the Fog his clansmen can attack, appearing and disappearing almost instantaneously making fights within his area of influence a losing battle. It is by this that Touya remains as the ruler of his ‘kingdom’.

➣  At first it asked him: Where are you going, my child?

The foolish child replied: “I want to see...beyond this world.”

Solomon answered him “All that world’s knowledge, all of it’s people...are here.

for what other reason will you go there?”

In reply, the child simply answered: “I want to see it with my own eyes!”

At first, Solomon was apprehensive, but eventually relented. “Very well. But...you can only take one thing with you. What will you take?”

The child pondered long and hard. Eventually, he answered: “I know! I’ll take-”

➣  AT FIRST, THE YOUNG CHILD knew not for what reason he was there. The world, as opposed to his Library, was far different. Much more than simply reading about it. The Heir, a young blonde-haired boy walked curiously. The desolate and devastation-wracked city stood completely silent. He looked down to the Iron Collar, taking a note of the small bell that hung there. He remembered Solomon’s words well. If he was ever in trouble...

He could sense something, as predictably she could too. As innocent as the young man’s figure was, he seemed to present a grave danger: such readings would only be something akin to the reverberation of countless noise. “Ah...” The Heir looked towards the other, uncertain of who they are. He read all of the memories...but no one seemed to know who they are. The armor she wore, though...

“Uhm...hello?”  The Heir asked, unsure if she could even understand him. “...T-that belongs...to Him. Can you...give it back?” He asked, even as the small bell resonated, and a dark-purplish fist, it’s being very much similar to the Noise, immediately surged and tried to slam into the Silver-haired songstress.

私は、このカラーのホルダーは、彼のホスピタリティを主新月に私の人生を借りています。 - Iron Collar engraving, Trans; “I, this Collar’s Holder, owe my life to Lord Shingetsu for his Hospitality.

Saitama Station numbered among those furthest from the Kongoukaku and therefore from the Shogun’s direct reach. As a result, Feudal Lords from the Southern realms often rule in their own right. Some even see themselves as the equal to the current Shogun, having said so because even the bushi under their hospitality could not rely on the Shogun’s wrath to teach these wayward Lords otherwise. As a result, they often uphold the thin veneer of accepting the Shogun’s rule, yet still rule their lands as they please.

In the mountainous Saitama Station, all steam smiths are required by law to wear an iron collar that they are never permitted to remove under the penalty of death. The reason for this was so that the Bushi could easily restrict access to Steam smiths from entering into the more affluent areas of Saitama station. The Feudal Lord and his court firmly believe that Steam smiths are the lowest of the low, for they reek with perspiration from the humid conditions of the Hayajiro and were malodorous working with various chemicals.

This fictionalized discrimination was ‘venerated’ by the Feudal Lord’s own ‘legend’. He once allowed common rabble escaping the Kabane to find refuge in the mighty Mountain Station of Saitama. The refugees were supposedly so grateful that they entrusted their lives to him wholly as to be his eternal servants. Of course those who lived long enough know that this is a simple fable, yet no ears are open to their pleas as they are left confined in the lower slums of Saitama Station.

Suzuki also wears one such collar, but the collar given to him did not fit and thus he wears an oversized Iron collar. Despite this, he wears it with little complaint, often too busy at work to even feel it’s weight. As an adult Suzuki still carries the Iron collar, which he has repurposed to serve as a support brace around his waist to help reduce the chance of a hernia forming and to allow for him to store smaller keys and tools onto it.

Crew of the Takumi

Current stats:

87 Crewmembers - 48 Marines and 39 Engineers

131 Survivors - 38 Bushi and 93 Civillians

Flynn Valentine Jr. - Son of Flynn ‘Funny’ Valentine Sr.  and the current Ambassador to Hinomoto. He speaks some Japanese and thus serves as the main go-between for the survivors of Aragane Station and the crew of the Takumi. Inexperienced in combat he prefers to spend his time far from doing hard labor and bosses everyone around. Has in his possession the diary of Prince Takumi and often reads it, taking in the beautiful landscape of Hinomoto.

SSgt. Graham Acre - Staff Sergeant of the 43rd Hinomoto Expeditionary Marine Corps, the current leading Officer of the Marines after the death of their Field Commander John Brown. Often nicknamed ‘Skullface’ for his gaunt expression, Graham inspires fear and obedience to the marines with his leadership skills. He also serves as the Drill Sergeant for those whom are forced to training. A heavy drinker, often trying to forget the events that led to the annihilation of the 33rd Company at the hands of the Kabane.

Sgt. Monica Banks - Sergeant of the 43rd Hinomoto Expeditionary Marine corps, the second-in-command under Graham. Strict down to the letter with regards to Marine Conduct, Monica’s battlefield experience allows her to serve as a tactician to the rest of the 43rd Marine Corps. As a woman serving in the military she has constantly grappled with the overly masculine culture of the Marine Corps, but joined in order to serve her country well. Is fascinated with the flora of Hinomoto. Often blames herself for the death of their Field Commander.

Cpl. Harrison Davis - Ranked Corporal in the 43rd Marine Corps, as a person of color he has often grappled against the racism that surrounded him growing up in Pennsylvania. Having served in the 9th Cavalry Division, he was handpicked by an impressed Field Commander John Brown to join him in the expedition to Hinomoto. A man of silent countenance, calm in the battlefield he displays much courage even under intense Kabane onslaught. He is nicknamed as ‘Kuroinu’ by the Survivors in the train. Despite his illiteracy, he has a fondness for calligraphy and desires to learn the Japanese Language.

Prv. Clyde McHarris - A recently enlisted member of the 43rd Marine Corps. The oldest child to an Irish Immigrant family with 10 other siblings, Clyde has witnessed first hand the devastation of the Potato Famine and the ensuing Kabane infestation. Having enlisted to provide for his family, he has a strong desire to make it back home to see his family again. With his terrible memories of their panicked flight from Dublin, he falls into shock whenever he sees a Wazatori.

Prv. Thomson Brooks - An enlisted member of the 43rd Marine Corps, Thomson joined the Marines in order to atone for his father’s crime of desertion during the onset of the Kabane infestation. A bit of a slacker, Thomson prefers to spend his time lying down in the grass, relaxing about. He exhibits much interest in the religious rites and customs of Hinomoto.

Prv. Todd Jameson - An enlisted member of the 43rd Marine Corps, Todd is perhaps the most empathetic and kind member of the marines. Easygoing and patient, he often gets along well with the survivors from Aragane Station. Intuitive and sharp, he can vaguely understand and communicate with the other survivors. He left New York in order to enlist with the marines, seeking adventure and the exotic.

Andrew Forrest - The head Engineer of the Takumi, pressed into service after their lead Engineer perished during transit from Iwatodai Station. Born to a very poor family, Andrew grew up in the ghettos of Louisiana, where he earned a living shoveling coal within the Freight trains that operated there. Taught engineering by a kindly Steam smith. Enlisted to the Takumi as one of their engineers, he takes over to lead operations and the repairs. A hearty and kind man with a fine taste for cuisine. He cooks the best chowders in the entire corps.

Russel Winters - The eccentric engineer second to Andrew. With a few loose bolts Harrison prefers to dismantle, rather than repair things. As a result he has always been in trouble with the others for tinkering around. Prone to rambling about the most random of topics, Harrison is often penalized and forced to shovel coal. Ironically, he may be the best melee combatant within the Takumi.

World/American Timeline - Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress

“If the cause is advanced, indifferent is it to me where or in what quarter it happens.”   - George Washington

December 16, 1773 - Protests by Colonists regarding the imposition of additional taxes to wheat farmers in Boston ends in a massacre by Brittonian security forces. The notorious event, termed ‘The Tea Party Massacre’ prompts mass outrage through the Colonies. The Revolutionary Congress is formed in response to ineffective sanctions by Brittonia to limit self-rule.

April 19, 1775 - The event known as Parker’s Ambush ignites the Great Revolutionary War between the Brittonian Empire and the Revolutionary Colonial States. After receiving intelligence that Brittonian forces sought to control the gunpowder stores and armaments in Concord, Revolutionary forces set up a cunning ambush that resulted in 128 Brittonian Regulars dead or injured, repelling the Brittonians in the process. In response, Loyalists to the Brittonian Empire successfully repel the Revolutionary Army’s attempts to besiege Boston.

July 6, 1776 - The Revolutionary Congress formally votes for Independence, signing it’s declaration in June 6. The Brittonian Army, supported by Canadian Auxiliaries from the north outmaneuver George Washington in his defense of New York and Washington, prompting a retreat by the Revolutionary Forces. Claude Valentine is appointed as the Ambassador of the Revolutionary States.

September 10, 1777 - While the battle of Saratoga ends inconclusively with an ongoing stalemat, Claude Valentine formally makes a plea to Gibraltar (Spain) for aid in the war. However, due to possible interception by the Brittonian navy, the Ambassador had to take a land route to Saubure (France) in order to reach the court.T he first ‘incident’ involving the Kabane occurs in Ottoman-controlled Cyprus, but largely goes unnoticed. The entire isle is eventually overrun within 2 month’s time.

July 7, 1778 - After listening to their plea the Sauburean King Louis the 12th officially pledges support to the Revolutionary Colonial States. Hellenistic Greece asks for help from the other European powers in an attempt to suppress the Kabane onslaught, but the plea is waved off by other European powers, dismissing the news as ludicrous and nothing more than ‘The Greek Cough’. Sardinia and Corsica fall to the kabane by way of infected refugees attempting to flee accidentally making landfall there.

January 12, 1779 - Despite intending to land in Manchuria(China), Claude Valentine and his delegation are forced to land in Hinomoto because of powerful sea storms that nearly destroyed their vessel. Their formal request for help from the Shogun goes unanswered, but the Shogun’s Heir, Prince Takumi readily accepts, allowing the Americans to resupply for their journey home. Aboard his flagship Hinoka, the Prince sails with 100 Samurai along with the Delegation back towards America. Meanwhile, the first incident of the Kabane virus making landfall in Europe occurs in Amalfi, Italia (Italy) , Nice, Saubure and Izmir, Ottoman Empire (Turkey).

March 30, 1780 - While the Siege of Charleston continues, news of the alarming ‘Revenant Disease’ began to circulate as Saubure is steadily overrun by the Kabane over the course of 8 months. For the first time Europe seriously acknowledges the threat of the Kabane, naming the creatures ‘Revenants’ for their undead visage. An expeditionary army sent by the Brittonian Empire in an attempt to annex Suburean territory is utterly annihilated. The Kabane soon sweep over Gibraltar through it’s Sauburean territory in the East. Gibraltar is nearly overwhelmed by the flood of refugees, only further inflaming conditions and allowing the Revenant Disease to spread in abundance. Gibraltar is overrun in a matter of months.

November 19, 1781 - When the Revenant disease was no longer pushed aside as a simple ‘cough’ the European powers desperately turned their focus towards the spreading contagion, prompting the Brittonian Empire to simply abandon their Americas colony. Prince Takumi perishes in the battle of Yorktown, yet his courageous charge galvanizes the demoralized soldiers into repelling the formidable Loyalist counterattack, maintaining a hold of the siege. Starved of supplies and choked by the siege, the Loyalist city of Yorktown surrenders to George Washington. While some intermittent fighting between Loyalists to the Brittonian empire continue, resistance is largely localized to small pockets of resistance as the Revolutionary Congress begins the task of rebuilding the country. Meanwhile the Virus makes it’s way through Manchuria, eventually overrunning Joseon (Korea) in the process.

September 7, 1792 - By this time, most of Europe is completely overrun by the Kabane. Humanity remains only in isolated and well-defended fortresses or in offshore territories far from the Kabane’s reach. The resulting halt in trade from Scotland and Britonnia prompts a collapse in the economy of Eire (Ireland). Combined with the outbreak of a fungus that devastated the potato harvest and bodies of kabane washing up on the shore, Eire is utterly devastated by the outbreak of the Kabane. With the Brittonians forced to shoot at any refugee attempting to find shelter in Brittonia, beleaguered and starving Eirish refugees make their way Westward in an attempt to flee from the virus. The first instance of a Wazatori, named ‘Abnormals’ by the Europeans is observed during the Razing of Dublin. Meanwhile, news of the disease is not taken seriously by the Revolutionary Congress, even as discontent towards slave-holding states down south begin to fester. Rumors brought by the Eirish refugees regarding the kabane prompts the imprisonment of the refugees in confined camps within the eastern shores of Americe.

January 1, 1803 - After periods of relative calm in reconstruction-era America, the very first instance of Kabane makes landfall in Norfolk Harbor, Virginia. A desolate refugee ship crashes right into the port, unleashing it’s cargo of ravenous Kabane. Within weeks, the entire state of Virginia is totally overrun. The events that lead up to this prompts the Revolutionary Congress to amend the constitution’s 2nd Amendment to allow for conscription towards the battle against the Kabane. However, the poor discipline and lack of understanding towards their new enemy easily decimates the first contingents sent to fight back the Kabane.

October 24, 1805 - The spread of the disease spreads Southward, as North and South Carolina as well as West Virginia and Maryland are completely overrun. Cut off from the main-land, Florida and New York eventually falls to the Kabane months. However, Commander Thomas Jackson successfully repels the Kabane onslaught in Cleveland Ohio, earning him the name ‘Stonewall’ for his excellent command and tactics. Information regarding the Kabane slowly surfaces, including the ‘Iron cage’ surrounding their hearts and the transmission vectors. Despite this, the Revolutionary States of America loses ground to the kabane, seceding Ohio, Georgia and Alabama to the Kabane months after.

March 28, 1808 - While breakthroughs in gunpowder technology allows the Revolutionary Army to slow the advance of the Kabane, months of protracted fighting eventually ends in America seceding entire Eastern side of America from Texas to North Dakota. Commander ‘Stonewall’ Jackson develops a practical defense method against the Kabane, modifying the line-fire formation of the Britonnians in order to serve as a depth-fire defense method, allowing the city of Denver to hold off against the Kabane onslaught. Cities are fortified with massive walls and moats to slow down the Kabane with the development of trains and mandatory military service. With these advances the Americans are able to hold off the Kabane from encroaching through too much territory.

June 14, 1810 - With the Westward push of the Kabane stalled by the defense of the now-experienced Revolutionary Army, founder of the Marine Corps Franklin Wharton begins to campaign for a reclamation of the Eastern lands. Many join the cause as his numbers swell to nearly 100,000 able-bodied soldiers. After a few month’s delays the June Offensive begins as Franklin and his soldiers soldiers reclaim Rapid City, though at heavy cost. It marks the first time America has been able to win back ground against the Kabane.

August 18, 1810 - The June offensive comes to a total end when the resilient fortress-city of Denver falls to what some call the ‘Black Fog’, cutting off Franklin Wharton and his men from their supplies deep within Kabane territory. Demoralized and deprived of basic needs the entire June Offensive army is completely annihilated in their defense of Rapid City. Caught off guard by the sudden opening the kabane then isolate and destroy countless other cities, pushing back the front lines deeper to the West.

November 4th, 1812 - The front lines fall considerably as the Kabane completely overrun the states of Arizona all the way up to Montana. American appetite for large-scale land reclamation offensives wane, as the focus falls into building formidable fortifications and weaponry to repel the Kabane. Large fortress-cities are built, often with 2 to 3 layers of walls almost 40 meters tall and surrounded by moats formed in order to repel the kabane. An extensive railway system, overlooked by Forts within the interior keep the railways reasonably safe from the Kabane. The acting president of the Revolutionary States of America, James Madison allows for the creation of the Revolutionary American Marine corps, despite the disgraceful outcome of Franklin Wharton. These soldiers man the forts dotted along the railway systems of Western America, as well as alongside the professional army stationed within the massive Fortress-cities of Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, Anaheim and Helena. By this time, the Kabane’s momentum slows considerably, though the Kabane remain a persistent an deadly threat even in the Interior.

November 19, 1817 - Despite the fall of the Fortress-cities Las Vegas and Helena, the Americans hold the line against the kabane. New technologies allow for the mass production of large-ordinance weaponry such as the Franklin Wheelbarrow (Gatling Gun) and riveted pressurized Armor plates on their Armored Trains. The existence of the ‘Black Fog’ is debunked and successfully proven to be the hybrid Colonies of Kabane, two of which were successfully repelled during the fall of Las Vegas and the defense of Salt Lake city. By his time, the Americans decide to honor the contributions of Prince Takumi, vowing to send a gift to the Shogun in Hinomoto by way of a formidable Armored Train. Armed with the most up-to-date American technologies in anti-kabane warfare and manned by 200 Frontier Marines chosen for this journey, they hope to send the Armored train to Hinomoto as a gift for the fallen Prince’s sacrifice. Christened the Takumi in honor of the fallen prince, bearing the Crysanthenum Crest of the Hinoka the delegation sets sail for Hinomoto.

February 12, 1817 -  During the journey to Hinomoto, 8 crewmembers die of diease. The American Delegation attempt to land in Kyushu, but find it completely overrun by Kabane. They eventually land in Iwatodai station to the South, resupplying and preparing the Takumi there. The American delegation then continue Northward, hoping to get to their destination at Kongoukaku. Relative inexperience in new terrain and overestimating the security in Hinomoto costs the delegation dearly as they pass through the abandoned stations Irako, Soushun and Hayatani at devastating cost. They lose over 117 of their original crew in the journey (including their Field Commander) before they reach the safety of Aragane station.

“Someday, My dad will come for me. I know it.”

NAME: Suzuki

BIRTH NAME: Elliot Clark

AGE: 11

OCCUPATION: Bolt-runner and Apprentice Steam-smith

PLACE OF RESIDENCE: Saitama Station

BIRTHPLACE: Brittonia

PERSONALITY: Suzuki, or rather Elliot as he readily responds to, can be summed up to a shy yet considerate and diligent young man. He is often quiet around strangers, speaking only when he feels comfortable to do so. Obedient but with a stubborn streak, Elliot works hard and always tries his best. Elliot is rather conscious of his shaky grasp of Hinomotoan and thus speaks only when spoken to, but he shows his intellectual side through his keen observation and self-study. A quick learner in his own right, Elliot is rather observant of his surroundings. He has a fondness for Hayajiro, often admiring the machinery and gadgetry all over the rail tracks.

BIOGRAPHY: As a child on board the Steamship Wellington, there was no room for the feeble. Even from a young age he was trained in the ways of the seafarers, as his ancestors before him. The smell of the ocean breeze and the fumes of the steamship’s engine was more familiar to him than land itself. In fact, he would admit he spent more time on board his father’s vessel than on land. The only son to a Silk trader from Brittonia, at the tender age of 10 he joined his father on a trip to Hinomoto, landing in Nagasaki Station. There, unfortunately, the Kabane came.

Torn from his mother, she sacrificed her life so that he could make it to harbor. What he saw however was only the rear of the ship, sailing away while the Station itself burned. Yet, undeterred he catch up to a boat and nearly drowned. Had it not been for the actions of another merchant his story would have ended there. The merchant plucked Elliot from the waters and threw him on board the Murasame, a Hayajiro that intended to flee the fallen station. Isolated, afraid and lost in a world that barely understood him, he was taken in by a kind and elderly Steam smith in the mountainous Station of Saitama.

There, he slowly learned by example the ways of the Stations and the Country. While others teased him for his different looks whether it be his blonde hair or his olive green eyes, he sought solace in the hissing steam engines of the Hayajiros his adoptive father had to maintain. As his adoptive parent came to understand subtly of Elliot’s interest in smithery, he was christened with the name ‘Suzuki’ in an attempt to placate his bullies. While the elderly smith raised enough funds for him to enter into schooling, Suzuki stubbornly refused and desired instead to follow in his footsteps, spending what meager allowance he earned running errands to purchase scrolls, slowly grasping the language and knowledge of the mighty Iron Trains that passed by.

Yet, every day he would often run to the top-most peak of Saitama, through the narrow steam pipes and bridges of the slums to gaze into the blue ocean, convinced his father would return for him. Every day he toils and works diligently as an apprentice hoping to one day meet his father and sail the oceans together. When he is not busy as an apprentice to his adoptive Father he works as a Bolt runner, often passing rivets and full steam tanks to other Steam-smiths on duty.

ABILITIES: Surprisingly enough, the skills that he learned while he joined his parents on board the Wellington applied well to his current profession. Acquainted to the grimy and humid conditions a Steam Smith must endure, he shows much promise even as a Bolt runner to the many Steam smiths in Saitama. He also has excellent balance and no fear of heights, allowing him to properly use a rappel kit.

The most important rule of all: have fun! RP for the joy of writing! Do not feel bad to take forever or drop a thread with me!

Do not EVER, EVER, EVER EVER be concerned about disappointing me in RP, honestly! I can write to whichever degree, no matter how short your post is, I will reply if you give me something to work with! That said, I may take forever to get to replies and I may get selective with my replies, but feel free to bugger me about a reply I owe you! I tend to forget some threads, though sometimes I may drop a thread from time to time. Please feel no offense to a thread that I may drop or no longer reply to, I am always open to starting something new with you! RPing should be a hobby, not a full time job or a chore!

This blog is OC, AU, Cross-over and Canon friendly with (almost) all Fandoms and Blogs. This blog is open to MOST roleplay types, be it fluff, adventure or even angst. The Blog is also semi-continuous within other RP timelines from the same series.

Mun is of Age and NSFW will be put under a Read more and will be tagged as such. As a roleplayer I am open to being tagged either by winging an RP starter or just plotting with me off PMs. Given the different states of fandoms, 90% of the time I will simply make a version of Suzuki to better fit the scenario. Unless, of course, you want to RP with the one original Suzuki. For the most part, smut or sexual themes will not take place in this blog, though other subjects I am (mostly) open to. Not always, but it’s worth asking!

This blog is a teensy bit selective.

I will roleplay with generally anyone who follows back, contacts me or perhaps answers an ask. Feel free to send anything, from starters, memes or even anon memes! I am always open. That said however I may not follow you back, that is for my own volition. Be it because you spam too much OOC, post too much pictures and such, I can have my reasons not to follow you back.

This RP blog uses Suzuki (Koutetsujou no kabaneri) as the main roleplay use and Laphicet (Tales of Berseria) as a Faceclaim for Younger Suzuki.

All icons, unless stated otherwise, were made not by me. However, feel free to use them so long as they’re not used for criminal means. All Suzuki or Laphicet icons, artworks reblogged or the art icons are derived from from do NOT belong to me! If you prefer to RP with one of the other forms while we plot an RP, do not hesitate to bring it up! If the situation calls for it, I will establish an AU version of Suzuki.

This RP Blog is open for Multi ship or pre-established relationships. In light of changes, this version of Suzuki MAY NOT be RPed to 100% canon, to allow for concessions with other RP fandoms and universes.

If you would like to make a possible idea towards Suzuki and his interactions, do send me an ask! While I am comfortable with pre-established relationships, it may be for the best to work them out with me in asks and such, just to iron things out on both ends! Personally there is little about Suzuki save for his penchant for inserting English phrases, so this is a good chance to explore that.

Standard Roleplay rules apply: No God-modding and all the Like. However, If I have known, trust or Roleplayed with you enough, I am willing to bend some of the RP rules for our mutual benefit: this goes to some extent towards God-Modding. You are also free to fully control any Minor characters or the situation itself to your liking so as long as they are in character.

The reason for this is so that RPs will go by much quicker. If you open a door and then wait for me to post to go inside said door, that would just be a needless delay. Therefore, I do give a trusted RPer the permission to control my characters provided that they are in character. I do, however reserve the right to ask anyone to re-write a post if I feel that the self-control was excessive. Controlling minor characters in our RPs are perfectly acceptable, on a condition that their actions are in-character.

Sadly, my time as Deemo has come to an end.
