Jonathan spent some time between worlds, so much so that he fell asleep. It wasn't the best idea but he didn't know when or where he would appear, or if he ever would. So, sleep it was. He drifted through the smokey greys and blacks, it was cold and empty. However, eventually sleeps embrace too him. He didn't dream as much as he did when he was a child and never understood why that was. A quick jerk woke him like he was riding in a car and someone had pulled out in front of their car. Still groggy he looked around and noticed a vortex. Terror filled him as it looked like an even darker place than here.
Flaw Anxiety - Flaw Depression - Low Endurance
His eyes went wide as his heart started to pound faster and faster. It was the only noise in this dark realm. He nearly choked on his own breath as his body started to hyperventilate. Quicker and quicker his breathing became, as his vision narrowed onto the hole. Feeling as if everything was coming to an end he had to ask. "Why?" This was the last thing he said within the realm between realms and he was unceremoniously out of the portal onto his stomach. The air that was in his lungs was no more and he was gasping for it. His body felt starved for the necessary oxygen.
EX. Survival - EX. Awareness
He made a motion that looked similar to someone coughing up water and took in a breath. The entire front of his body was numbed from the impact. Then the pain started to fill him and he let out a small whimper. 'Someone was speaking to him and in a language, he didn't understand?' His thoughts were blurred. Slowly he focused the words became clearer. 'Perhaps it had to do with the impact or not hearing someone for a day or two?' After the thought, he noted that he was hungry as his stomach growled as if a beast ready to kill. This happened to time up perfectly with the word "pig" from the lovely female that stood before him.
EX. Learning - EX. Awareness
Everything she said and did fill his mind as he recalled the situation. He slowly rose to his feet standing six foot two weighing 260-270lbs. There were noticeable amounts of stubborn fat hanging onto him. However, his arms and legs carried almost no fat in them, or was it that it wasn't as noticeable? Either way, he didn't want to be a burden to the person that summoned him. 'She seemed like the magic equivalent to a mad scientist... possibly one that had been overwhelmed with the "lack of love" type sex. She had mentioned not enough tentacles and he knew only two or maybe three reasons behind that. He only made this observation after surveying the room. There was no technological equipment scattered around and the room smelt bad... perhaps that was her breath?' Another observation as he considered his options.
Flaw Depression - EX. Survival
'Great now she thought I'm something that I'm not! It always seems to happen. People think he is useless or too scary to even talk to.' He let out a depressed sigh. On top of that, he was away from the woman he loved and his family. He pushed back the tears. 'It would be bad to give a bad first impression. However, she did say something about enhancements via animals. It was an idea I had once.' He stood there not ignoring her but choosing his words with care. He could be the crazy god placed in an out of shape body due to her attempts. Perhaps, Rumpelstiltskin would be interesting to try. He let out a sigh and looked her over.
Flaw Almost Always Smiles - Flaw Too Trusting - EX. Survival
'She didn't look half bad but that almost always came with a cold heart. Living in L.A. where god and goddess level beauties walked, taught him that quickly.' He hated himself sometimes as a smile crossed his face. He bowed not knowing if it was proper or not.
"My name is Aku." He started by pulling one of his RP characters names... Well, nicknames. He wasn't sure if this realm of magic had true namers and didn't want someone to control him with his true name if they existed. His mind quickly delved into each character he made or played as well as characters he liked from shows.
"I feel at a loss of words when they are not naturally my own." He continued as he hoped that would buy him time to think more. He started by dusting himself off and moved closer to the small, mostly everyone to him was small, woman. He stood over her and knelt down so they could see eye to eye and put his hand in front of her.
Flaws Too Trusting - Almost always smiles - EX. Charisma
"Nice to meet you." He stated clearly as an uncontrollable smile crossed his face.
"I feel that a chimera would raise questions and if done correctly I'm not against it. You seem to like to experiment and do questionable things." He reasoned with a pause. If she shook his hand he would shake firmly but not overpowering. If not he would place it on his leg acting like he was dusting off more dust. Afterward, he would rise up and move across the room. Not wanting to make her chase him, he stayed away from the door.
EX. Awareness - EX. Survival
'If she could summon me to this realm, then it stands to reason that she could have devastating spells at her disposal.' He thought and his face fell to his all too famous resting bitch face. That only happened when he didn't look at her. It mostly had to do with him thinking or focusing on something. After a few moments he looked back at her and his smile returned. What was odd was that his smile was genuine and had a warmth to it.
"In fairness, I recommend a game. Winner takes all. I will pose a question. Guess the answer correctly and I will help you get your ingredients and apply what little knowledge I have to your next summoning. If you guess wrong you will not only apologize for the insult but you will teach me magic. He paused briefly.
"If those stakes are too low then we could say servitude. In which the before mentioned matter will still exist. If I win then you are mine to do with what I please. If you win the same goes." He laid out the challenge for her. 'She was powerful but she was a gambler. How else would he have gotten there?' He guessed.
"I would like to point out that I'm not a Pig. I just like food. If I were a pig I would have overpowered you and had my way with you. Unless the trinket in your hand is a knife, then I would be bleeding out right now." He shrugged as he started looking around the room, a smile still across his face.
'I doubt she would take either of those bets.' He guessed as he looked around. He was excited and sad and found the feeling strange.
I think they work better for comedic purposes than actual drama. Scoobynatural is one example of what I think is great Isekai style works. Taking Sam, Dean and Cass from Supernatural, an already humorous and 4th-wall-breaking show, and then putting them inside a Scooby-Doo cartoon was genuinely hilarious
It was great. I loved that episode of Scoobynatural.
I did until the last few episodes. I have watched more than a few of the Isekai anime.

Name: Jonathan Paul Huckaby Nicknames: John, Huck, Huckabeast, Aku, Aqua Age: 31 - Born on January 13, 1988 Physical Description: Jonathan stands at six foot two and is around two-hundred seventy pounds. Long dark brown, somewhat curly, hair. Full beard and long mustache. Those that don't know his age say that he looks anywhere between 24-27.
Important items: All the ones he has on him. Glasses Hairtie Crucial Hat Cargo Shorts (Grey) Millennium Falcon blueprint shirt (Grey) Shoes (Size 14 wide) Socks D20 Ring 1 gallon of natural spring water Earbuds
Ballons in a bag Leatherman Super Tool 300 Multitool - Stainless Steel Boxers Fitbit Cellphone MotoZ 2 Cellphone projector A roll of toilet paper. Bag of cough drops. Burt's Bees lip balm coconut pear Beard butter Solar charger for phone and Fitbit. Keys with a lighter and compass attached to them. New Altoids container unopened
Short Bio: Jonathan does what most people around the world do. Gets up in the morning, goes to work, eats throughout the day and sleeps at night. Given his status in the world, things have just started to look up due to his promotion and relationship. He was recently promoted to SME at FCR and is with the woman he loves. Sadly, he doesn't get enough sleep because of stomach issues.
His entire life hasn't been great, there have been bumps along the way. However, currently, he is looking to purchase his own home. Something to secure the future for his girlfriend and himself. He didn't mind going into debt to purchase a parcel of land. However, the land that was for sale in the area was very pricy. He was looking forward to purchasing an AMD custom built AMD computer but this came first.
He let out a sigh but smiled as he walked with Jesse. He set out with her in order to talk over financials and locations of possible properties. She was an old friend that he hadn't seen in years. They went to a few locations and spoke about what they could do. Then she gave him a few properties that he could check out. After that, they went separate ways.
He found himself looking over properties by himself knowing what his girlfriend would like. She didn't like people being too close and wanted to start up a garden, possibly get a few animals. So he went through the list and discarded the ones he knew she wouldn't like into the trash.
He was left with three properties. The first was great but the price was a bit too high. The second looked like it would take too much work. The last one looked perfect, a too good to be true property. Instead of agreeing with his gut he made his way for the third property. Huck made sure that it was alright if he went to the property. Southern Oregon wasn't known to be the land of the armless. People here carried guns and in most cases not just one.
After about two hours he found the property entrance and went inside. It was very odd that no one that he contacted was waiting for him. Again his gut was telling him something was wrong. Again he ignored it because he used to stomach pain. He looked around the property for what seemed like forever however, he still couldn't find anyone. Soon after he gave up and decided to call the owners. They told him to look around. That anyone that was a friend of Jesse was good in their book.
Again the sting in his gut. He was paying attention to the conversation on the phone. The thing that made him lose his step was that they mentioned Jesse directly. He didn't recall that she personally knew anyone on the list. If she did then wouldn't she had told him? Lost in thought and looking at the ground, he didn't notice when he took a wrong step.
It was like floating in the water on a dark cloudy night. The chill itself was like ice cutting into him. There was no water and his connection on his phone dropped. He stared at the light on his phone, while floating through the darkness. Shades of greys and black. His phone was blinding and he was awestruck.
He had dreamt of magic and lands other than this one. Especially after watching so many Isekai anime. However, he wasn't sure if this was the case or not. He could just be dead and not know it. A tree branch falling from the tops of the trees in Oregon was known as widowmakers.
A pang of guilt and heartbreak went through his heart after a few more seconds. He realized that he wouldn't see his girlfriend anymore. He tried to keep out the darkness and shut off his phone, and then placed it into this pocket. With a sigh he let the darkness take him as he floated not knowing if he was alive or dead.

Flaws Near and farsighted. One for each eye. Everything becomes blurry without glasses. Can still see but needs to squint. Hasn't done that since he was 16. Too Trusting. Almost always smiles. Feels that if given the opportunity he could make the world a better place. Lazy when unmotivated Depression Anxiety Low Endurance - After about a month of hiking/running, this should go away. I only know this because of the wildland firefighting training I went through.
According to @Letter Bee we need two more players. @Solaris@Random Kitty you did show interest in this RP. Just want to give you both a reminder, just in case you didn't subscribe.
Edit: Removed some items that I don't have anymore. Forgot. Added one that I do.

@Vampy That is fine. Things do happen. I seemed to have lost interest after everything as you can tell. However, if you guys wish to continue or play in an RP with me what would/could be great. @Zetsuko You as well.
Not sure if we can continue this RP though. It is old. I like magic and all but resurrecting this one will take some great power.
