[OOC] Enter: Into an Isekai World

[Dog]

Idea, a former mechanical engineering student that wasted all of his life savings on gacha games.

[Dark Cloud]

@ERode Oh no buddy, I noticed the color you used for the actual [YOURCOLORHERE] thing in the character sheet. You chose like a light blue sorta color, and I think I'll pass on joining as I feel like I won't be quite a good fit for what TGM is going for. Thanks for the help though, I really appreciated it.

[mickilennial]

Do note that while optimal personalities is something I like to look for, it will not be the deciding factor. I am mostly looking for writing ability and once all sheets are in maybe I'll ask some general questions. In fact I should probably ask one right now.

1) As Enter is a very very small RP with only 3-4 players at launch, what kind of pace do you as a player require to maintain interest over a long period of time? What would ensure you stay with a RP long term? Drops have caused the RP to halt and require restarting on two occasions so it is best if I figure out how to best make this RP last past the opening arc.

[ERode]

Optimal speed for me is always gonna be a one week post cycle with a relatively strict deadline on when the GM posts. The longer the RP goes on for though, the more willing I am to stick around so long as the plot's still moving, regardless of the speed of incoming posts.

[mickilennial]

That is good to note. We have had several pauses, but we always have longevity and move replies along. Also, as I said I'm trying to be more proactive in posting in a timely fashion.

[Dark Cloud]

Well usually, if not most of the time I like a balanced pace to keep me interested. Like at minimum I need it to be maybe one post every couple days or at maximum a post daily. I'm quite flexible. If the problem isn't personality I'll stay aboard.

[mickilennial]

I'm more concerned about how often you join things, drop them, and how your attention span dictates interest. But I'm gonna be honest I don't know anything about you beyond appearances, your free level posting pace, and your penchant for banter.

[Cu Chulainn]

My character isn't done yet as I'm still figuring out the details, and my original idea seem remarkably similar to another application. That said, once I do get it finished, I would like to say I do agree with the ideal being 1/week with a set deadline generally on the same day every week, unless specific circumstances arise. That said, I'm more than happy with sticking to this for the long haul if certain issues require posts at longer intervals.

Provided I'm accepted, I'm more than happy to stick with something long term, especially something based on posting intervals as my schedule will be too full for me to do anything live later this year. Having something consistent to look forward to to is definitely something I'd like, so long-term interest is guaranteed.

[mickilennial]

We do have two people in school whose schedules flux. I've also got streaks of depression and RL implications, so consistency will probably flux eventually. But I'm big on organic pace and trying to figure out solutions. I don't want to hold up people for months if I can help it. I'm not super in love with hard deadlines for any of my RPs, but I think Pariah Online at least proves how I can keep the pace moving at a reasonable rate with a large group so I think I can run a small group just fine moving forward assuming everyone holds everyone accountable.

@TGM

I knew my notoriety would follow me someday , but all jokes aside I'm invested in anything regarding Fantasy and always have been. If I commit to something I will do everything in my power to commit, and I am in fact capable of writing mid casual style posts. I'm enthusiastic about what I like but when something slows down so does my enthusiasm, however I stick around for the long haul if I'm deeply involved or already in the game.

[Bartimaeus]

I'm good with one post a week myself. You already know of my own depression issues, GM, but only extremely rarely have I dropped things where I've already had an effect on other PCs - and only for good reason. I can take an RP being really slow, but usually not much faster than one post a week, for the moment at least.
I don't need much incentive at all really to stick to something longterm, as those are my favorite type of rps. Just all the extra time for character interaction is cool.

[Archangel89]

Hello I'm interested and will have an app up soon this is still open rihjt?

[ERode]

When did you plan on closing submissions anyhow, Ink?

[mickilennial]

When did you plan on closing submissions anyhow, Ink?

@ERode

Probably should do it now and wait to have people finish up. I'll probably expect everything in by Sunday. I think Cu should be able to finish up by then.

[Archangel89]

I should be done shortly

Characterization & Conceptualization

_{What Do They Look Like?}

A completely bland and unassuming young Japanese man, sporting long black hair normally tied into a ponytail, and an otherwise unremarkable face if not for the permanent scar on the bridge of his nose. Standing at 5'9", Junichiro sports a rather average physique, with a bit of notable musculature due to working in menial labor for a while. Junichiro's way of dress makes him look somewhat slimmer than he actually is, sporting long-sleeved shirts and jackets to hide scars both self-inflicted and received from an accident. Junichiro also walks with a very slight limp, although it is unknown to him if they are from injuries his body still has failed to heal, or his own overwork.

_{What Are They Like?}

A nihilistic and rebellious youth who chafes against tradition. A quiet freak who's depressing to be around. An impertinent brat who says what he wants and doesn't respect his elders. All these things easily describe Junichiro on a surface level. A lot of Junichiro's current issues stem from his survivor's guilt, which did little to help his low sense of self-worth. Prone to self-destructive hobbies and posting on dubious message boards, it could be said that Junichiro is the epitome of all that is wrong with Japan's youth.

_{What's Their Story?}

Living a quiet life in Kyoto, Junichiro's upbringing was quite average, obtaining average grades and doing all the normal things boys his age did. Having no drive to do anything extraordinary or groundbreaking, he was content to live an average life so long as it was with his childhood friend, Kaoru. To Junichiro, Kaoru was a shining beacon in his otherwise dull life, an outstanding student with dreams to one day become a doctor. Junichiro knew he needed to tell Kaoru his feelings at some point, but he never could quite find the right time to. Sadly, nothing in life was guaranteed, no matter how mundane, and Junichiro would find that out the hard way, months before graduation.

Junichiro awakened, almost sandwiched between two bus seats with shards of glass sticking out of his arms, and one of his legs bent at an unnatural angle. He called out Kaoru's name in the chaos, but to no avail, crying out for him to the point of exhaustion. When help finally arrived, Junichiro was already losing consciousness, the last thing he saw was Kaoru giving him a dull and lifeless stare. The lone survivor of a violent bus crash, the news called it a miracle, but Junichiro saw it all as unfair. Why did he have the right to live when there were others on that bus who lived more meaningful lives than he did, who were able to contribute more to the world than he ever would? Their deaths, all of them haunted Junichiro, but none more than Kaoru, his corpse forever burned into Junichiro's mind.

Even after his recovery in the hospital, Junichiro never quite healed from that crash. He stayed home every day after that, too afraid to come out of his shell, not out of fear for the world at large and its many dangers, but instead to avoid the attention his story entailed. Junichiro even missed his graduation, having more or less dropped out of high school after that. His family was worried, although there was little they could do to help him. Not wanting to trouble them any longer, Junichiro moved to the big city. To Osaka, where nobody would know him as "the one who lived."

In Osaka, Junichiro changed. Rather than the quiet background character, Junichiro developed into a punk who was not afraid to say what he wished, silently regretting the fact he could not say the one thing he yearned to. He became a laborer, doing odd jobs that were hard on his already broken body so that he could distract himself. No matter what he did, however, Junichiro still could not keep those memories, their faces, out of his mind. Junichiro felt he needed to be punished, to atone for the sin of living.

It was because of this that lead Junichiro to walk into that convenience store, wearing a face mask and clutching a fake gun tightly in his jacket pocket...

_{Why Did The Wish Choose Them?}

As scum of the Earth who could not conform to societal norms, those who knew Junichiro would be completely bewildered to hear he was summoned as a hero. However, despite his self-loathing and inability to move on from past trauma, Junichiro carries within deep him a spark to live on, an inborn desire to survive for the sake of those who had fallen. A rather contradictory sort, isn't he?

_{What "Hero" Will They Embody? Why?}

Possessing a will to endure and a body that has already been broken before, Junichiro is unafraid of putting himself in harm's way for others, believing that he is better off taking any injuries in their stead. Junichiro also possesses the decisive courage of a knight, to do what is required and say what is needed, as he knows the pain of being unable to say what his heart truly yearned for. A survivor in both body and mind, Junichiro's very being resembles the Hero of Defense.

_{What Belongings Will They Take With Them?}

- An airsoft M1911, painted black to resemble a real gun. Unloaded and without gas.
- A black, ragged facemask.
- A baseball cap with the logo of an American punk rock band.

Talents & Abilities

_{Mundane Talents}

As a freelancer who gravitated towards less glamorous ways to make a living, Junichiro possesses the physique of a laborer. That is to say, it is not quite impressive, and those who actually care about fitness would scoff at how much he could actually lift. Nonetheless, it would be a mistake to refer to Junichiro as merely "weak." Junichiro also possesses minor knowledge in construction work and waste management, well aware of Japan's complex garbage disposal laws.

[Dog]

Oof. After looking at my time and life, I likely don't got time for this one rp. Good luck and have fun y'all.

With that noted I guess I'll set the thread to full while I and Polaris look through some things.

_Overview

_Name

Ishikawa Ito.

_Age

16

_Gender

Male

_Occupation

Senior High Student

_{Characterization & Conceptualization}

---

Ito is a scrawny and frail child. His mop of jet black hair hangs around his ears and he keeps it parted down the middle. His deep brown, almost black eyes are accentuated by heavy dark circles which has earned h the name Tanuki shōnen or Raccoon boy. His body is thin and everythingthat he decides to wear looks as if it is three sizes too big. Standing at a diminutive five foot two inches he is nothing to be impressed with.

_{What Are They Like?}

Ito is a strange amalgamation of personalities. On the one hand he is an absolute coward. He lives in fear of the world around him almost to the point of total seclusion. His greatest fear are the bullies at his school which harass him on almost a daily basis and cause him great terror. One the other hand Ito has a strong sense of wanting to protect people. Those same bullies have a tendency to assault others in their rampage and he wants to do something about it…if only he didn’t have to DIRECTLY get involved.

_{What's Their Story?}

Ito was born in the Kanto prefecture not very far from downtown Tokyo. As one would you from living near such bustling city there was no shortage of danger to be had and Ito's parents took appropriate precautions to ensure the safety of their little one. Growing up Ito saw the dangers of the world around him and it drove him to an almost paralyzing fear and a staunch refusal to leave the safety of his home. Education, however, was another important factor in his parents so he was they were forced to send him to school again his will. School was terrible for him, almost the second he arrivedhe was picked on and physically bullied to the point of coming home with black eyes and busted lips.

Ito had always been brought up with a sense of fair play and having everyone on an even playing field and watching these same bullies torment and pick on everyone, including him, never sat right with him but with his crippling fear he could never confront his assailants. The resulting conflict caused him sleepless nights and endless anxiety to the point where he stopped eating and only drinking coffee or coffee flavored energy drinks. This culminated in what would become his frail his signature frail appearance and dark circles under his eyes giving the name Tanuki shōnen.

_{Why Did The Wish Choose Them?}

A strong personal desire for strength, not necessarily physical strength but the strength to change himself and to conquer his fears and insecurities and become a better person by default. This seems nearly impossible due to his overwhelming fear and anxiety about the world makes it hard for him to understand why anyone would ever pick him for anything.

_{What "Hero" Will They Embody? Why?}

Although it seems like a mistake, Ito will be embody the Hero of Might. It may have been misunderstood about the type of strength, Ito does desire the strength above all else in his life.
