Let's see if this works...

Reed Gladly

_#CD853F

Name: Reed Gladly
Age: 18, but baby-faced (which he uses to get out of things)
Bio: Dumped on the streets at a young age and accustomed to the dirty life, Reed has made some friends, lost some friends, and generally prefers his own company. He does act kind to anyone younger than him, and isn't hated among the underbelly of criminal London. Has connections in dark places. Knows how to get what he wants with no questions asked.

Domestic Samurai [Suki & OliveYou]

Aaah it's been a hot minute, sorry about that. Might make a laundry list for Chunjiro's siblings--he has three sisters and three brothers.
Some are bit quieter, but Maika and Takeru make enough noise for all of them. The youngest is just a baby still, and Chunjiro loves her with his entire heart, so I hope they can all meet Haru soon :D.

Domestic Samurai [Suki & OliveYou]

"I'm sure you would be a good help, even if you can't do the hard parts. Most of them are without relatives and love to chat," Chunjiro tells her, putting the water on to boil. He was always taught to respect his elders, so it is sympathy and sadness that he approaches his job--he couldn't be more happy to serve them, but to see their lonely lives hurts his heart. Often, he wishes he could lend them a few of his siblings as live-in aides, but it's nothing more than a wish. They all have their own duties, just as he has his.

"Of course. I'll bring you along, alright?" he says, smiling at Haru. Working together. Before the wedding, an acquaintance had warned him of the possible problems that come along with marriage, but Chunjiro simply can't see where he's coming from. Having Haru by his side sounds like a dream. True, father and mother often work apart, but in this case, it's fine to keep her close to him, right?

…It's strange. Maybe it's because he's never had something all to himself that he's feeling this way?

"Lonely…" Chunjiro echoes, thinking yet again of his clients. Haru would probably fit right in. As for Chunjiro, his house was always full to the brim, so even if he wanted to be lonely, his siblings and duties wouldn't let him. There was always more work to do, more training in the dojo, more caring for the younger ones… Of course, as Yua and Maika got older, it got less difficult. The oldest sister, Yua is a beautiful, educated, and well-mannered girl, so much so that Chunjiro has begun to worry about the number of suitors vying for her hand. Maika still has much childness in her, but her and Yua are close, and Maika has begun to follow in her older sister's example.

Now that I'm here, you needn't be lonely ever again. If only Chunjiro had the courage to say those words! As always, he is too scared of offending her, of making things worse… But, even if he can't tell her, he will surely show her. Actions speak louder than words, as the saying goes. And Chunjiro has faith in his hands, if nothing else.

You think I am pretty? Chunjiro's first reaction is to stop, drop everything, and run away, but seeing as that isn't an option, he simply freezes up. Does he? Wait, of course he does! More than pretty, she's cute, but that's somehow more embarrassing. This is find, he's told ladies they were pretty before--yeah right, when he was like six--

"-es. Yes. You are. Very pretty." His words are stiff, but Chunjiro hates lying, so it had to be said. Plus, girls like compliments, right? If Haru is happy, then, well… perhaps the embarrassment is worth it… Turning his red face to the boiling pot, Chunjiro begins rationing out rice--doubled, this time, though Haru might not eat so much as him...?

small town, small-time hooligans

"Is there nobody in this freakin' town!?"

Hiya, thanks for clickin'. I'll give it to ya straight: I want to play a (preferably highschool age) delinquent. I like the rowdy, stubborn, hard-outside-soft-inside type of character, and I'd like to rp something according to this concept. And although I'm partial to the Japanese "yankee," obviously it doesn't have to be according to anime tropes. (I can link you to some very cute manga if you're interested, though.)

So, I'm looking for a girl that can break down some walls. That make sense? I know it's rather annoying to ask for a specific role, but I promise I'll give you room to improvise and create your own character. Really, I just want some good ol' romance. Give me a PM, or drop a message on this thread if you're interested. Thanks! :)

Domestic Samurai [Suki & OliveYou]

"Ah, well..." Chunjiro considers it, drawing water from the well. Most of his work consists of yardwork and chores for the elderly inhabitants of the village, usually the widows and the ones without children to take care of them. It is the samurai's duty to care for his lord and his lord's lieges, and in Chunjiro's case, he cares for the weak and the elderly. Many of them are friends he has known since childhood, and now that he is old enough to provide for them, they treat him like a son.

"It's a lot of hard labor, like yardwork for people who aren't strong enough to do it themselves. I'm sure the obasans ("grannies") would be happy to see, ah, um..."

Some of the old ladies have expressed their wishes to see Chunjiro find a good and upstanding wife to share his days with. He certainly thinks Haru fits the bill, but he fears she would get embarrassed by the nosy, if well-meaning, nature of some of the grandmothers. He's sure they would love to talk to another girl, but...

"...any visitors. I could introduce you to a few of them, since I need to deliver some groceries to their houses." The idea of Haru by his side is nerve-wracking, but at the same time, comforting. Provided he can keep his cool and not do, or say, anything weird, it might be really nice. Shopping together... did mom and dad do anything like that?

Pulling the bucket out of the well with one hand is difficult, but Chunjiro finds himself hesitant to let go of Haru's hand. He enjoys the touch, simple as it may be. It's hard to tell what she's thinking right now, not that Chunjiro has ever been good at that, but he hopes she isn't put off by it. He doesn't want to spill water everywhere and make a fool of himself, though, so he reluctantly lets go of her (tiny!) hand to lift the bucket out.

"Oof," he mumbles, staggering to the side slightly. It's always a bit too heavy... "Yeah, I shared a room with all my brothers ever since I was young, and not a big room either... I bet you got a lot more privacy." Come to think of it, Haru's mother died when she was young, right? So it was just her and her father... a very different and perhaps lonely childhood than Chunjiro's lively, chaotic household. If that's the way she was raised, he wonders if it would overwhelm her, to be the center of attention of six young ones and his slightly overbearing parents. He bets his mother would like her. His dad too. And the kids...

I want to be the one to like her the most, though.

Chunjiro blushes. What a bold thought. Haru wants to meet his family, therefore he shouldn't feel as if something special is getting taken away from him. There's nothing to be uneasy about.

"I'm sure they would love to meet you," Chunjiro answers, walking back to the kitchen to boil the water for rice. "Maika, my mom, my dad... Takeru too, he loves a pretty girl," he adds, then realizes he inadvertently called her pretty and falls silent. More importantly, this feeling in his chest, it won't go away. What's it called? When you want to keep someone to yourself?

...Jealousy?

Theo WIP

"The path of righteousness… is not always clear at first glance."

need a dialogue color... silver/gold theme (or gray/brown?)

✞ Full Name: Theodore Romeo of Avignon

✞ Titles: Priest Candidate; once he becomes ordained he will obtain the titles the Reverend and/or Father.

✞ Nicknames: Theo, "The Pegasus"

✞ Legacy: Successor of Galahad. Galahad's spirit rarely surfaces, so the link between the original Galahad and Theo is quite strong, especially when Galahad considers something… important. His powers, cultivated by his priestly practices, mostly deal with purity. Some resemble the powers of Arthur, and some are more unique to Galahad.

His mark is the Mark of Chasity, which appears as a cross on the base of Theo's neck. In addition, his hair has been turning a white-blond color ever since he entered into education for the priesthood (seminary). [bors is similar so maybe change?]

✞ Age: 16.

✞ Gender: Male.

✞ Birthplace: Avignon, a Caer historically filled with popes, priests and Successors of Galahad. It was only natural that Theo was the next in line, his father being a bishop and one of his distant relatives a Successor. Although he has been raised in the Caer's monastery since Galahad's mark appeared, a prophecy from the spirit himself persuaded the monks to let Theo attend the Royal Academy in Caerleon. It is expected that he will return once his education there is finished, although in some routes, the MC can sway that end.

✞ Appearance: The Mark of Chasity, which Theo usually hides behind a collar, is no more than two inches long, but shines brightly when Galahad's powers are used. His hair, which initially blanched upon entering the monastery, has slowly been reverting to its natural dark brown color at the roots, a process Theo is desperately trying to hide.

✞ Personality: Theo, as a hidden capture target, keeps his cards close to his chest, always wary of divulging secrets or any information that could be used against him. He's aware of his place in this world--as a successor of Galahad, the knight who obtained the Holy Grail, he deals with a lot of expectations about his future.

✞ Synopsis: Raised to be a priest for as long as he can remember, never without the spirit of Galahad urging him towards a holy life, and dealing with his own personal struggles, Theo was praised as a "complex character" with "hidden depths" that made for an interesting story arc, as well as a marriage candidate that "you couldn't help but sympathize with." His route, only accessible after a successful playthrough, concerned Theo's "destiny," something the MC could either sway him out of (Freedom End) or strengthen his belief in (Holy End). In other's routes, Theo is somewhat unimportant, except in Bors' route, as he aids the knight in finding the Holy Grail.

Is the bodyguard of the MC?

✞ Class: Pegasus knight, high speed and magic resistance but vulnerable to bows and with low defense and hp. Use spears/lances/javelins. Pegasi usually only allow females to ride them but he's the successor of GALAHAD and a PRIEST so he can get away with it. Need a name for his pegasus tho.

Domestic Samurai [Suki & OliveYou]

Thanks and okay! I'll look forward to it!

Domestic Samurai [Suki & OliveYou]

2 notes: Chunjiro was scared of women as a kid so this is all new and confusing to him. I picked the Edo period as the setting, because it was a time of relative peace for samurai and the technology is like... kind of advanced? So some plumbing, stoves, etc. Though, since they're in a rural area, they have a well. :D

Domestic Samurai [Suki & OliveYou]

It kind of relieved him that she had the same thoughts about the wedding as him. It gave him all the more hope that she was just the shy type, rather than the repulsed by his very existence type. Like her, he had been surprised and embarrassed by the amount of attention; despite being betrothed since childhood, Chunjiro had always regarded his marriage as nothing more than a footnote, tucked away in the pages to come. Rather, as a young child, everything farther than 10 minutes in the future feels like a lifetime.

But, here they are, and Chunjiro mentally congratulates himself as Haru begins to loosen up. Hopefully, she takes his words to heart, and continues speaking her thoughts to him. It's refreshing to hear her chatter about the market--even if he is embarrassing the both of them, it's heartening to see her bounce back from it, and even ask him questions.

"Follow me, then," Chunjiro says, making a mental note to give her a full tour of the house later. Following a narrow hallway to the courtyard, he picks up a bucket from where it sits on the patio. The courtyard, half traditional Japanese garden, half functional for training and housekeeping, is modest, but well-kept. Not Chunjiro's doing, of course--his mother paid a "special visit" two weeks before the wedding to set the house in order. He can't say he's done a great job keeping it in order, though...

"That's good. I have some errands to run in the village, but we can meet up afterwards." For a moment, he's a little worried at the thought of Haru shopping alone--what if she gets lost? What if she hurts herself? What if somebody shady tries to...? No, no. She'll be fine, and besides, the errands won't take long... I'll do them as quickly as possible.

“I am. Your w-wife. I would like to do the same.”

Eh.

“I would like it if you talk to me… tell me how your day is. S-Share it with me.”

Chunjiro stares at the hand on his shoulder in confusion and slight uncomfort, due to the odd angle of his neck. Okay. Cool. She's touching him. She has really small hands. And her nose, too. Wait, that's creepy. She's blushing, though. Cute.

"O-o-of course!!" Chunjiro yells loudly, suddenly aware that he's been staring at her. "I mean, um, I'd love to... talk to you. S-since we're married, it's..." No. Calm down. Chunjiro breathes in, desperately trying to center himself, because he feels like he's floating. Seriously. He shouldn't be feeling this happy because of such simple words, but Haru... "...something I want to do."

Chunjiro tries for a smile, and pulls her hand off his shoulder to hold it in his. This is fine, right? Can she hear how fast his heart is beating right now!?

...That's right. He never answered her question.

"Ah, and I have six siblings," he tells her, hoping the subject will distract her--and him--from their intertwined hands. He doesn't even know why he's doing this, other than the weak logic of "Haru touched my shoulder," which isn't so much logic as it is teenage hormones going wild. That, though, is a secret to even Chunjiro himself. "It was hard growing up, but I love them all very much."
