@The1Rolling1Boy there's no requirement to interact with others, you could always post your character just doing something normal for them.

The Fate of Ward 8: A Tokyo Ghoul RP

Kobayashi Taiki

---

Taiki sat on a retaining wall of a small garden in the square directly across from the CCG Field Headquarters of the 8th Ward. He had been there for awhile, the growing pile of cigarette butts at his feet a testament to that. He took a long drag from what remained of the cigarette in his mouth before dropping it to the ground and snuffing it out with the toe of his shoe. He checked his watch, 'Less than three minutes. Fucking meetings...' he thought as he stood from the wall and began to walk toward the road. He stepped out without paying much attention to the traffic, earning himself a car horns blast and a rather angry looking driver to which he waved and slightly smiled in their direction as he crossed in front of them.

Across the road he made his way up the steps of the 8th Ward Office in twos before he pulled the door open at the top. He moved to the security check at the entrance, flashing his ID and stepping through the RC Gates with a bored look on his face and then made his way to the stairwell.

A little over a minute later Taiki would burst from the stairwell entrance on the floor of the meeting, breathing a little bit heavier than normal but otherwise looking normal. He turned around in the hallway, gaining his bearings quickly before making his way down the hall toward where he was pretty sure was the conference room. Turning a corner his guess was confirmed as correct when he found himself staring at Sora as he waited outside the room. Taiki moved along side the younger Investigator, standing before the doorway of the briefing room he shrugged at Sora and pulled an earbud from his left ear, "Figured you'd be inside already, I had to finish a cigarette, it," he raised up his hands showing six fingers to Sora as he did, "Took a little longer than I had anticipated." he said with a grin before he tapped on Sora's shoulder and pulled him into the briefing room.

Once inside he fell in against the wall, bringing his arms up against his chest and looking past the other present Investigators, his mood quickly souring at the fact he was simply in a briefing room at all.

The Fate of Ward 8: A Tokyo Ghoul RP

@Old Amsterdam he doesn't need to tell me his characters background, it's perfectly acceptable to have hidden backgrounds. It was a yes or no question and he answered it twice with "maybe a yes, maybe a no, he is but he isn't". He could have said "No" and it would have been the end of that. It's obviously over now, I just feel like I need to explain why I got annoyed, his responses to a simple question were unnecessary, even if he was just joking I couldn't tell that over text.

Attack on Titan: Somnium

Emil Burton

Headquarters, Trost District

@jinxer@SheriffLlama

@HecateProxy@Jinxer@Wolverbells@SheriffLlama@LordVoldemort@Solace@LetMeDoStuff@Poi

-----

Emil tucked his hands and legs into himself and pointed his feet forward as he crashed into one of the many windows of the Headquarters building. He rolled across the wood floor a few times before coming to stop in a puddle of something wet. He dropped his gear handles from his sides as he found himself staring at the ceiling, the cold wet biting at his back as he stared for a few moments. Finally he rolled himself over and hoisted himself up on his hands only to find himself staring at the source of the wetness. A puddle of cold blood that had streamed forth from a soldier that was laying less than a meter from where Emil had landed, his head caved in on one side and completely missing on the other.

He held back his vomit as he grabbed his handles and made for the door, stumbling past a desk and knocking it over in the process before he burst into the hallway of the Headquarters. Expecting salvation from the gruesome sight he was once again assaulted by the smell of the dead and scene in front of his eyes. There was blood strewn about the hallways and bodies lay haphazardly throughout. He swallowed once before gingerly stepping over a body and following the stream of surviving cadets to their new rendezvous area.

As he walked a few cadets whispered to one another, wondering just what went on in the Headquarters for all of this to have happened, others still trying to figure out how they'd now get out of the headquarters, and the rest seemingly silent like Emil himself. Once into the armory Emil quickly found Lauren who was sitting atop some crates, he made his way over to her and then stood silently as he lost himself in thought. He hadn't notice Mora pass by and talk to Lauren, nor had he noticed other cadets that he knew as the streamed slowly into the room, all he could think of was the hell he had just lived through, and the very real fact that he was still very much stuck in it. The Headquarters offering only a short respite from the reality of the world outside. Even that would soon be ruined.

Emil snapped back to reality as Jade squeezed his shoulder and silently pushed past him to get to Lauren. He didn't smile at the girl, or utter any words, merely a small nod as she passed which he was sure she hadn't even noticed as she did. Then as if ushered on by the act the group began to talk. Emil wasn't sure when a plan had begun to sprout in the room, having been zoned out for so long that he only keyed in on the conversation as Grant was explaining his plan, 'Titans in the supply depot...' he thought as he continued to listen to Grant. The boys plan was as good as they were going to get right now, but it meant that people would be dying in the supply depot, and more tahn just a few if what they knew of the Titans held true from an open space to a confined space, it was essentially a death sentence.

He shook his head as he imagined trying to use his gear in the depot itself. Ceiling was vaulted offering some room to move, but the struts were mostly metal beams, nothing that the hooks could reliably catch onto. Which left the walls, the ceiling, and the occasional stone pylon scattered about. "This is going to get very bloody." he said to himself as he stood in place, not yet decided on whether or not he'd be volunteering himself to die once more.

Not to Emil's surprise no one seemed to be willing to throw their lives away after having survived the initial Titan assault on Trost, at least not until Tanner began to start speaking. As he spoke Emil began to fidget in place, a growing sense of guilt rising in his stomach as Tanner spoke of a righteous, "bigger than thou self" game to the rest of the cadets, pushing the idea that if you died it would at least be so others would live. That every drop of blood they had shed was part of something bigger. That together they could overcome the Titans unlike the hundreds who had met their gruesome fates to them before. As he finished his speech, a few cadets stepped forward, some looking more keen to volunteering than others, and some seeming as if they wanted nothing more than to head down into the supply depot and give their everything for what mattered right now.

Emil picked out a cadet that stepped forward, his eyes darting from side to side and sweat running down his forehead as he did. He knew the cadet, Bradley if he remembered correctly. He was terrible with his gear. The fact he was in the room right now spoke of immense luck on his part or that he had suddenly gotten a whole lot better in the last few hours. Forming fists at his side he pushed past a few cadets in front of him and walked straight to Bradley. Emil ejected his worn out blades from earlier, the metal clattering to the ground only briefly. He reached forward, pulling two pairs of Bradley's spare blades from his gear and slotting them into his own, and then connecting his gear to the final pair of fresh blades. Bradley;s confused look grew as with no words he pushed the younger cadet back into the bigger group and moved a bit closer to Tanner.

"You're crazy." he said blankly to Tanner, "You're seriously insane," he shook his head, "I think I might be too."

The Fate of Ward 8: A Tokyo Ghoul RP

@AngelofOctober definitely didn't mean to be an asshole with the fighting style question, that was actually just a question I had.

Definitely did with the one-eyed ghoul questions as your answers weren't answers they just made more questions which got annoying very fast. Had you just answered that he for some reason always had one eye active but was in fact a normal Ghoul that possessed both, I would have dropped the issue after the first question.

The Fate of Ward 8: A Tokyo Ghoul RP

@AngelofOctober Schrödingers Ghoul over here it seems. Your attempt at mystery doesn't intrigue me, it just comes off as you wanting your character to be more powerful then others just like all the other one-eyed ghoul applications there are.

There are plenty of other ways to create mystery.

Also how is his combat style focused on counter-strikes but offensive at the same time? Did you mean defensive?

The Fate of Ward 8: A Tokyo Ghoul RP

@AngelofOctober your spirit fingers don't make the fact that this many
one-eyed ghouls running around is slightly ridiculous any better.

The Fate of Ward 8: A Tokyo Ghoul RP

@AngelofOctober is Kristian also a one-eyed ghoul or that's just the picture?

Quinque:
Taiki uses 48 mass produced quinque shaped as daggers (They retain the deep purple-black of most quinque not the silver depicted) known as "Nanashi" (No Name) as his weapon of choice and he stores them under his suit coat in specially designed padded pockets that acts as sheaths.

[Papers Shuffling]
Mr. Nakashima: Damnit(....) Alright then lets get to it, my name is Nakashima Kenta, Assistant to the Assistant Supervisor of the Human Resources at the Commission of Counter Ghoul(...) Today I'll be reviewing an application to the Ghoul Investigator Training Academy.
[More Papers Shuffle]
Mr. Nakashima: Applicants name is Kobayashi Taiki, 'Small Forest, Large Radiance' interesting. Applicant is 18 years old, attended Mizuho Nōgei High School in Mizuho, Nishitama District, Tokyo. Relatively small school, well respected educational institution, the Academy has accepted multiple applicants from Nōgei in the past. Mr. Kobayashi Ranked 127 out of 203, below average standards(....) Captain of the boxing team, excelled in most school matches. Grades are acceptable although they do not exactly meet the marks that the Academy strives for in its students, athleticism is Mr. Kobayashi's strong point, for the record. His reasoning for applying is somewhere along the lines of 'Trapped at home' and 'Wanting to do something more' those are his words according to his application essay to be exact.
[Binder being opened]
Mr. Nakashima: Born to a Kobayashi Ichio and Kobayashi Haruna in the Nishitama district. Kobayashi Ichio worked as a businessman for eight years before being let go in a company wide lay-off, Kobayashi Haruna has been a nurse for seventeen years. Family exhibits success in all controllable facets of life, interesting a family as smart as his would allow their son to slack so much in grades and limit his future. I'll need to take a note of that.
[Pencil writing on paper]
Mr. Nakashima: As it stands, Kobayashi Taiki is being flagged for the waiting list for the Ghoul Investigator Training Academy(...) His grades are below standards but he makes up for it in athletics, still admittance can not be allowed at this time, will revisit the applicant when his number on the waiting list is reached pending accepted students dropping the course.

[Binder Thuds on Desk, followed by a writing utensil clattering to the floor]
Mr. Nakashima: ****(...) Excuse my language, can we expunge that in the official record?
Recording Assistant: Yes sir, we'll make a not to remember.
Mr. Nakashima: Good, let's get started then. There was a(...) accident in the 14th Ward a day ago. Four friends were killed in a motor vehicle accident with a city bus at 02:33 local standard time.
[Mr. Nakashima sighs]
Mr. Nakashima: It just so happens that three of the four involved in the accident held seats on the coming years Academy class, which means that three Applicants on the Waiting List just got lucky, although the circumstances aren't exactly ideal for such to have happened. The applicants are Yumi Miharu, Saruwatari Chiaki, and Kobayashi Taiki. Letters will be sent to their residences shortly.

Mr. Taiho: This is Taiho Mikane, Vice Dean of the Ghoul Investigator Academy(...) taking a look at a student, Kobayashi Taiki, record indicates he has been pulling through in classes, if only barely. In danger of flunking more than one course but is riding by the seat of his pants mostly. He does excel in most athletic activities however, only if he shows any sort of interest in the activity itself.
[Flipping Pages]
Mr. Taiho: Mr. Kobayashi seems to be quite gifted in hand-to-hand practice, likely a result of his boxing background. Kobayashi also shows an apptitude for throwing weapons and but is horrendous with any larger close quarters weapons.
[Binder opens, pages turn]
Mr. Taiho: This record is to document that I'd personally like to recommend him for the Academy trial group that will be testing and using the "Nanashi" quinque, he seems to be an excellent subject for it.
[Tape Ends - Timestamp 01:03]

[Tape Begins - Timestamp 01:05]
Mr. Taiho: For the record, the Nanashi quinque tests are progressing well. There have been a few(...) set backs with some of the candidates. Compatibility issues with combating other weapons has lead to a few minor injuries, but Mr. Kobayashi seems to be excelling. He shows a keen aptitude in their use and has taken an almost obsessive mentality in his use of them. Mrs. Kaga has spoken to me that she has seen him practicing in the weapons training areas long after others have left. Interesting to say the least.

Special Class Investigator Misaki: Following the raid on 24th Ward, it is my recommendation that my partner, Rank 1 Investigator Kobayashi Taiki be promoted to First Class Investigator effective immediately. Kobayashi showed great prowess in close combat beneath the city streets, saving both myself and several other Investigators after being ambushed by a Rinkaku wielding Ghoul, despite the fact he uses what are essentially knives he held his own long enough for another Investigator to arrive and assist him in subjugating the Ghoul.
[Pause, Special Class Investigator Misaki can be heard breathing heavily]
Special Class Investigator Misaki: I(...) I'm recording this from a hospital bed, I lost my leg in the operation.
[Pause of twelve minutes, nurse can be heard checking up on Special Class Investigator Misaki twice during this period. Special Class Investigator Misaki does answer nurse.]
Special Class Investigator Misaki: There need to be more talented Investigators on the streets, not Investigators that are only concerned with paperwork and promotions. I advise that Koabayashi be looked at for promotion to a Senior level Investigator and that he be assigned the (...) Junior Investigator I was to be assigned. Rank 1 Investigator Kobayashi is beyond prepared to lead his own Investigator Team even if his paperwork functionality may be severely lacking. I'd trust him with my life another time if given the chance.
[Tape Ends - 25:36]

Memorandum for Record
