[OOC] Katekyo Hitman Reborn!: Rekindled Flame

[Sho Minazuki]

Varia doesn't sound so bad, my concern is that they're a little out of the way that I'll end up not participating as often as a result.

CEDEF, same story.

[Grey]

Alright.

I'm no fan of horror films, so I'm sitting in another room while the rest of this Christmas party screams elsewhere.

But that's neither here nor there.

Give me a few minutes and I'll see about reading the thread and trying to address all the issues that I can and/or adding on to what Demon's already said.

@Sho Minazuki

Keep Rain. It actually will work and I'm sure your character will work out quite well in the long run of development.

Chrono, you literally HAVE to take Lightning now. No argument allowed.

AMA NOW HAS A NICE ROLE! IT IS SOMETHING THAT WORKS VERY WELL FOR HER CHARACTER AND I'M FIXING THIS SHIT! DON'T RUIN IT! ANYBODY!

Please let this work. I have been optimistic and I have been planning very hard for like two weeks. Maybe even 3.

[Sho Minazuki]

Like?

@ChronoBovino

Serious Series: Sword Swing.

[Amaterasu]

_{Hah take that Chrono :P} But in all seriousness, it's a role that could make sense considering their relation and it's a pretty neato role so don't feel bad about taking your lightning position, really :>

But yeah, no objections from me. Ignore the earlier meme that was just for fun HAHAHA

ONE PUUUUUUUUUUNCH-- //SHOT

[Grey]

K, so Demon told me to trust him and to not post my fuckhuge thingamajig, but there's one thing that's gnawing at the back of my mind.

but it seems a lot of players are making two characters, a guardian and a non-guardian. I still have objections about that.

@Sho Minazuki

What do you mean by this?

[Sho Minazuki]

For a few play reasons. First is character saturation. If we have too many characters at the start it can get really confusing and it'll already be a tangled mess. Naturally starting with 1, and then when people get more comfortable, we can start adding more, is best.

Next is whether or not the players can play those two characters sufficiently. This comes down to players, but some people don't know whether or not they've bitten off more than they can chew.

I think it'd be fine adding more characters, but please cut some off if they're not necessary or don't add to the current cast properly.

I mean I know it's an RP, but there's a reason that shows introduce characters bit by bit. Best we can do is start with one character per player, and start including more when relationships are more established between both players and characters.

[Amaterasu]

I was wondering about that objection too but I kind of get his point. Tho it should be fine if the chara does get introduced a little later after the guardians are introduced properly.

[Sho Minazuki]

Yeah, I'm not saying "one character per person only", I'm just worried it'll become an out of control mess. I've seen it happen and those RPs died quickly.

EDIT: Oh by the way, for Special Trait, if I wanted Mist flames later, would I have to add Multiple Flames?

I have a Trait I'd like checked out before I bring it in, so this is semi-complete. Also drawing.

Hider

Name: Hisaki Kawaguchi
Aliases: Namimori Serpent
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance: Drawing. Coming soon.

Combat Data
Faction: Vongola
Position: Rain Guardian Candidate
Flame: Rain
Equipment:

Type Preferred - Sword with sheath weapons

Training Bokken with Sheath: A training sword with a specially made sheath.

Fighting Style: Hisaki's fighting style is deceptively passive, moves slowly, then suddenly lashes out explosively at the right moments in a counter-attack. The way Hisaki personally fights is using deception, and baiting his opponents into making the wrong move. He employs an Iaido style of swordsmanship, as well as hand to hand to compliment it. He’ll often try to provoke his opponent though, which matches with his style. His rudimentary skill and precision is best shown in his ability to strike knives towards targets accurately as ranged weapons.

Techniques:

Shinsuiryuu Original Techniques

Ryuubi (Dragon Tail) - Backhanded strike with the sheathed weapon, before bringing himself into a draw stance. A standard pro-active move where the user strikes first.
Ryuusou (Dragon Claw) - A sideswipe attack using the blade handle as the contact point that simultaneously brings the blade into a draw stance. Used to parry. When he enters a draw stance with any of these two moves he can simply do normal slash and draw moves, or the special techniques below.
Totsukawa (Crashing River) - A simple dashing draw slash that if blocked can be appended into a Battou attack, converting it from an Iai move.
Niseiryu (Twin Crossing Dragons) - Two slashes in rapid succession before sheathing.
Senkou Shinryuuken (Flashing True Dragon Sword) - From any draw, a wide range slash that slashes everything around him. It’s not a simple horizontal cut, but a single slash that changes direction, intensity, and angle to strike multiple targets in key spots in a single swing. This is a draw technique and ends with a sheathing of the sword, and is the first advanced technique learned in this style.

Hisaki’s Original Techniques

Jakatsu (Snake Slide) - Enters stance while dashing to the side. What makes this unique is that the footwork is so quiet and subtle that most of the time the attacker doesn’t know where he is based on sound and direction he moved out of their sight alone. This move will end with him entering a draw stance, where he can use the following, or any of his Shinsuiryuu techniques.
Jadoku (Snake Venom) - A slash that’s aimed at vitals or muscles, it requires the least amount of effort, and is often the best way to disable opponents, or defeat them without causing greivous harm. At the same time it can cause the most harm by striking more painful places instead.
Zanrouga (Slashing Prison Fang) - While in draw stance right before being struck he’ll execute Jakatsu backwards, then forwards past them in quick succession while slashing them once.

Special Characteristics:

Multiple Flames (Mist, not yet awakened).

Personal Data
Background: Hisaki was born to a poor and neglective family, father and mother eventually were imprisoned, and he was sent off to his uncle in Namimori. He was a problem child, but his uncle’s dojo allowed him to better focus his emotions. He was an excellent student in the Shinsuiryuu Itto-ryu, or “True Water Dragon” style, a single blade style, but maybe a little zealous or rebellious, as he very quickly started developing his own techniques and style based around trickery, something his uncle isn’t happy about. The fact it was before he was even recognized a master of the style too added to this.

Him being a problem child didn’t really stop though, it just was far less. He gained a reputation for being fairly provocative, and this didn’t sit well with the other juveniles and the gangs they formed, so he beat them up when they came looking for him. Because of the way he moved he was likened to the fast and sudden strike of a snake. This brought him to the attention of the Vongola in the area as well, partly due to his lineage, he was then recruited and it leads to now the present day. He knows little of the Vongola, but he sees joining them here as a chance to make use of his skills, something he’s painfully aware that won’t land him any jobs were he to choose to live a normal life.

His uncle was actually once part of the Vongola, but fell ill, leaving him with some permanent damage to his body’s functions, preventing him from ever using his dying will flames, or exerting himself physically. Hisaki’s mother and father were actually traitors, and are currently imprisoned by the Vindice. His uncle is uneasy about his current involvement with the Vongola, as he wanted to lead his nephew on a more righteous path without involving himself with the world of Mafia. He is unaware of this so far.

Personality: Hisaki is a rather callous person, he would taunt his enemies snidely and sometimes if provoked, rather angrily and without relent. He has a softer spot for small animals, his favourite being lizards, and despite that attitude does have honor towards those who earn his respect, and not actually very easy to provoke, if anything most of the time it’s his opponents who are provoked. Those were the result of his discipline under his style of swordsmanship. Had he not gone under training and discipline he would have become a much less cooperative person.

Alrighty so from what I read Ima making a new lightning coolio thx

Royals are complete different from Gold >:O

[Vongola_Hasayo]

Von, cedef right? The boss isn't made yet, but there are plans in mind. Right now you will work with the new version of asuka. Older and a cedef agent.

@Demon Shinobi

Cool can I get some details about her? I'm thinking her and my char could have a sibling kind of relationship and her having brought him in to Cedef as part if his backstory.

[Grey]

Sorry I couldn't get to you sooner. Was busy recuperating.

@Sho Minazuki

So correct me if I'm wrong, but your main concern has to do with the relevance and use of the secondary characters, and how their participation will affect everyone else, right? Whatever the answer to that question, your concerns are all valid and I won't even try to dispute the idea that an oversized cast at the beginning is not always a good thing.

Anyway, to actually address your concerns, note that the only people who have secondaries or are planning to make secondaries are the GM and his co-GMs, the people in charge of making the plot run smoothly. So you can suspect that there's a reason they're there.

(Besides, TBH aside from Shiso, they're more or less just NPCs rather than dedicated PCs and we'll be shelving them when they aren't necessary)

Don't worry, it ain't like we're trying to have this end in a trainwreck.

EDIT: BTW, I don't expect anyone to submit sheets or anything tomorrow and the day after for obvious reasons.

[Sho Minazuki]

Hmmm I see. That's reasonable then I guess. I hope that pans out well when the RP starts though, I don't know the character's details for the secondaries, so I can't say too much.

Oh and I submitted my sheet because I said I would.

I just need to draw the guy now.

[Grey]

Merr Christmas everyone. I'll be on a plane for somewhere around 12 hours, but that includes stop overs so I'll be around a few times probably.

@Sho Minazuki@Suku If everything's finalized, we'll see about reviewing those sheets tommorrow.

Current

Ten Years Later

Combat Data

Faction: Vongola Famiglia
Position: Vongola Boss Candidate
Flame: Sky
Equipment: While not having any particularly Mafia related equipment, Yoshiaki typically carries around:

• Smart Phone - Black with red trim
• Nintendo 3DS w/ games
• Wallet - Contains money, School ID, Emergency Credit Card from mom

Fighting Style: Yoshiaki isn’t really skilled in any true sense of the word. He is a brawler and runs primarily on instinct. Currently, he is known to be capable of taking on up three normal thugs by himself.
Techniques: As of now,he has no true techniques.
Special Characteristics:
Vongola Hyper Intuition - Though not truly awakened, Yoshiaki demonstrates fair skill in judging individuals. However,due to his biases he rarely ever goes based on simple instincts.

Personal Data

Background: Yoshiaki and his sister Ami are essentially descendants of Ricardo, Vongola's second boss, like tsuna and his dad are descendants of Giotto. This is pretty much so we don't need to establish a full on family tree and it will still make sense. Ricardo's family line stems down until it reaches ami and yoshiaki's mom, them as well of course, who is protected by the family but isn't given much information or anything else otherwise. They are blood and there for taken care of.

Regardless, at some point the parents were divorced and the children were separated for a few years. While there mother was okay, having made the decision, the father didn't take things so well. He fought for both kids, but only got yoshiaki. This the son was with the father and the daughter with the mother. It started off well with Yoshiaki and his dad, but already disappointed with the divorce his father spiraled. Eventually he would lose his job and turn to drinking. This was around the time he was 8 and went well into middle school.

It was also around this time that Yoshiaki would begin getting into trouble at school. He closed himself off to the teachers and began getting into fights. However, he got into fights for what he saw as proper reasons. He often used bullying and other such acts as reasons to fight and let out the anger he felt for his father. He got his ass kicked a lot at first, but over time he got better. The detention he got also helped him stay further away from his father for longer periods of time. It was also here that he would meet his future best friend.

Yoshiaki wasn’t very social even at his younger age. He’d gotten in trouble often and into many fights, but by this time he was about 11 or so. He was stuck in detention cleaning with other kids. However, one of the days he was stuck cleaning with a girl named Reina. Being who he was he didn’t try to end the awkward silence. She did. But he didn’t give her much to go on or really talk too much himself.

Still, their meeting went on like this until one day around the time he was 12 he saw her while he was walking down the street to the arcade. He had started spending a lot of time their when he wasn’t in detention or was just skipping class. She was being hassled by two guys, much larger than her, no doubt due to the idiotic “gang war” that had been going on. Of course, being the kind of person he was, he just had to step in. He helped her fight the two guys off and once things calmed down he went on his way. He wouldn’t see Reina again until a few weeks later when a new challenger appeared while he was playing his favorite fighting game. It was her and from then on the two actually became friends. To this day Rei is probably his only real friend, though he does interact more.

In the midst of all this, and him trying to get his life a little more together, things remained more or less the same with his father. Whenever Ami came to visit he would act normal and cheery, but when they were alone he was kind of a dick. He would say he loved yoshi, but still pretty much beat him saying he was helping him, toughening him up, teaching him. It is because of this he buried himself in video games and got into fights often usually with bullies and idiots though he never aligned himself with any real delinquent group. Which cause more fights. In turn Yoshiaki would usually have bruises and other injuries from dad AND fights when he visited mom and ami. because of this, his mother's obliviousness, granted he lied when asked about it due to fear, and a general notice of problems he developed his distrust of most of humanity. During one visit to his mother's, there was somebody else there, a close friend and member of the vongola family who was checking in.

He noticed yoshi's injuries and reported what he'd observed so there was an investigation and the father's actions were discovered. Obviously it wasn't tolerated and a certain baby was called in to take care of a the target. Soon after the hit was put out the father met with an "unfortunate accident" and yoshi went back to live with his mother and sister. This was halfway through his final year of middle school and here he is now.

Yoshi is a bit more sociable although he can be a bit of a sarcastic jerk and rarely pays much attention to anything that isn’t someone he actually likes or a video games. He can typically be found on the school roof, like in manga or games or hiding out in other places if he isn’t going to class. While he has told Rei about certain parts of his life, like his parent’s divorce, the visits and his father’s death, he never really told her about the abuse, or anything else of that nature, keeping it to himself. Even Ami and his mother don’t know since he put the blame on school fights and other things of that nature. Only he knows about that, along with a relatively small group of Vongola members.

Personality: Yoshiaki has a strong distrust and disdain regarding humanity. He doesn’t really care for it, save for a few individuals and often finds it tedious and boring. He buries himself in games and often skips class, even though he tries to maintain a relative ‘B’ average. Still, despite his biases towards people, he still has a bit of a hero complex and a skewed idea of justice. He doesn’t use the word love for just about anything, with the only exception being his sister, whom he is very protective of. The only other people he is protective over are his mother and his friend Rei. When he sets his mind on something he can get be pretty stubborn and typically doesn’t stray from his decision. He is also pretty intelligent, has a knack for tinkering with tech whether his own or arcade games or whatever he takes an interest in if he learns enough about it.
