[OOC] Imaginary District: Youkai, Magic, and Youth, An Urban Fantasy RP

[Rin]

I am not currently a bad Disturbed song, but I seem to be screwing up a lot when it comes to actually trying to get something written right now. Hopefully I'll get something done soon or tomorrow or something. Hum.

[ghastlyInc]

AAhhh. okie. Sorry for assuming. Looking forward to it!

[Ennui]

I think I have a delusion since I always fear I mess something up as I write. Just sitting quietly in the corner hoping that nothing screwed up.

@Rin
Also regarding my earlier uhm... "explosion" with the post so to speak, sorry about that. I wasn't exactly thinking straight at the time. That and I seem to have had fed a delusion of you having been offensive even though you were clearly not. So again, apologies about that. I wasn't sure if you got it from the edit I made to that post earlier or not. Needless to say it backfired on me as well in terms of my mood later that day.

[Rin]

@EnnuiIt's okay. ^^;

[VitaVitaAR]

Where's team cat? : (

If anyone's having trouble getting a post up, please say something so I can help.

[Dash375]

I will get a post out tomorrow I guess then.

[Raineh Daze]

I'm wishing that I had a little more to work with on the dragon front. Most of the conversation's over her head and the part directly addressed to her is a bit hard to build off. Hmm.

[ghastlyInc]

I could edit if that would help. Might need ideas though.
Also, dat avatar.

[Raineh Daze]

It's October. Bloodborne's horror focus seemed more appropriate than Dark Souls.

Unless somehow the DLC includes Priscilla again. xD

[Rin]

October is also why I am now a vampire!

...Also had half a post written earlier but then my computer decided to reset to install updates when I went for a shower because a previous update apparently removed the option to stop it from doing that so no posts tonight I guess. :(

[ghastlyInc]

:(((

[Antarctic Termite]

roleplay: is of interest

me:



I'm just lurking for now, but this seems nice. What's going down?

[Raineh Daze]

That's one of the more bizarre ways of expressing interest I've seen.

Who let Nrvnqsr into the hotel? D:

@Rin

*Raises hand* He booked 666 Rooms. So hey, not complaining.

[Antarctic Termite]

Ok I haven't actually read through the IC or the characters yet, so it's still fairly unlikely that I'll join. That said, I was bored, so I wrote a character. Haven't given them much thought role-wise, other than that they just kinda live and work in the Imaginary District while they're studying.

Meet Jay, an ordinary student who cares a lot for people and will turn up at any hour to give you a lift home or buy you lunch if you feel sad.

cinnamon roll too good for this world, too pure

Jay Blue

Theme: Deet deet.

Age: 20. I'm not old you're old

Gender: maybe

Race: Human! No wacky hybridism going on here. i mean, there was that one great-great-aunt We don't talk about her. Or her dragon boyfriend.

Appearance: Tall, fairly broad, soft and round, though not visibly overweight. A big teddy bear of a dude. Has short, spiky hair, dyed pink. Wears long-sleeved shirts, usually tie-dyed. Numerous bracelets and bangles on both wrists. Often seen with a scarf and headphones. Brown eyes. Mixed-race Singaporean and Australian.

Personality: Jay, despite his flustered protests to the idea, has become very motherly over the years. It doesn't stop him giving high-caffeine energy drinks to six-year-olds, but Jay does tend to worry about his younger friends. Not one to fuss, he's nevertheless always checking on them, counting them to see if anyone's missing, and making sure they're warm and hydrated. In winter Jay carries around an umbrella at all times in case he finds someone who doesn't, and often gives away his scarf too (they're like ¥200 at the thrift shop, relax). In summer he has a clean bottle of water on hand. Jay is a good listener, always happy to help small people discuss their problems at him, and offer what little bits of care he can. Bear hugs are a thing too.

When alone, Jay tends to space out easily, sunbathing or watching clouds. Sometimes he catches a bus just because it's there, or gets lost for the pleasure of finding his way home. Polite towards his elders, Jay tends to grow concerned rather than worried when things go wrong. Jay almost never swears and absolutely never says anything lewd around his pals. Doing so will leave him cheerfully scandalised.

Abilities: Since birth Jay could communicate with arthropods- That is, most creepy crawlies. How deep exactly this telepathic link goes is a mystery. In any case, Jay has a beehive on the roof of his apartment, and often naps on park benches with a butterfly on his nose. At night he likes to look at streetlights and give directions to moths, or help a spider spin its web. Flies and mosquitoes don't bother him or his friends, and cockroaches behave themselves. Rumour has it he keeps a giant hornet in his sleeve, but this is false.

Skills: Jay works as a janitor part-time, so he's real good at cleaning things. Before that he did a work experience course at a hair salon, so he's pretty good at brushing and braiding hair too. Also, he's currently earning a degree in political theory.

Equipment: Phone, headphones, notebook (slash dream diary), scarf, armbands (including organ donor chain), jacket with deep pockets, pack of marshmallows, wallet, photo of his partner, and a cheesy grin.

Brief Backstory: Born outside the Imaginary District, Jay spent most of his childhood safe and sound in a fairly privileged middle-class home. As he grew up, his ability to commune with the little critters taught him to take care of those who were smaller than him, and to always see the best in people even if the world rejects them. His parents had similarly low-key powers, allowing them to live as effective dual citizens of Miura City and its hidden district, keeping their abilities and the existence of the latter suitably hidden. Jay met his current partner in their last year of school, and they have a close long-distance relationship while they study abroad. As much of the District is populated by people with a non-human lifespan and life cycle, the competition between students applying for their bachelor degree in the Imaginary University is less fierce than elsewhere in Miura, and so Jay applied and started studying there simply out of convenience.

Political alignment: Despite all evidence to the contrary, Jay is actually a raging communist. To prove it, he's decorated his front door with a poster of Karl Marx in a party hat.

Favourite food: He really likes pavlova.

[VitaVitaAR]

I don't see anything particularly wrong with him, but I'm not sure what kind of role he could play.

Also, once I get more posts in more scenes I'll move things on.

[Natsu]

Is puppy group dead?

[VitaVitaAR]

Kitty group, and not if people post there.

People need to post there.

[Natsu]

If my group doesn't return, what happens?
