WELCOME TO KAIBA WORLD (Yu-Gi-Oh! Roleplay)

So do action duels still work like stage select or do you have to actually play field spells?

Kamen Rider Chronicle: Hero Rally Remastered

Takahiro Matsuoka

Name: Takahiro Matsuoka
Rider Name: Kamen Rider Salesman
Age: 43
Sex: M
Starting Gashat: Taddle Quest
Skills and Abilities: 43 years life experience, an iron liver, and a mean baseball swing
Additional Gashats: Famista

Appearance:

Personality: A bitter middle-aged man looking for some excitement; weak to pressure.
Background: Takahiro used to have hopes and dreams, but then he got married and entered the workforce and they were crushed into a billion tiny pieces. He leads your basic salaryman lifestyle: Overworked, ill-appreciated, and severely lacking in aventure. One day, on the way home from a long day of soul-crushing office work, he ended up being harassed by a mysterious overweight man talking about how he would "fill the hole in his heart". He took the guy's business card in hopes that he would go away, and the next morning awoke to find a copy of Kamen Rider Chronicle in his mailbox. Never one to look a gift horse in the mouth, Takahiro figured he may as well give it a go.

Sounds cool. I think I'll join up too.

So, minor question: Are the Ride Player suits still the brown grunt style, or colored based on gashat type?

Well yes, one argues a point for the sake of getting their way. We call this negotiating. That is literally what negotiating is. Me and you have both been compromising in an effort to reach a solution we are both happy with- or we were, until you decided to abruptly cut off negotiations like this.

Now, as for "disrespect", I have been nothing but civil with you. If anything, you have been disrespecting my time by stringing me along like this when it was pretty clear from the start you intended for this to be a roundabout rejection anyway. I tried to work with you to find a solution that would make us both happy, but it's become pretty clear we're on different sides of the whole pro-weird/anti-weird debate and I'm not likely to change your opinion on the subject by accommodating you.

As a minor side note, I think your issues with my "tone", as you put it, may have been a matter of projection, but it's not really my place to diagnose.

@ProPro
Well I dunno if it can survive without a mascot, man. Double Arts didn't have a mascot and it got canned after only one volume.

Fighting Bull was a legitimate gladiator and treated as such. Mistaking him for an arena hazard was a gag at one point, actually- though the fish were hazards, so I can get why you'd get confused. Impel Down also had that goofy lion monster hired as a warden and Oda confirmed recently that the one bird crime boss who showed up at Big Mom's wedding was a regular animal as well. Honestly your justifications for why Randolph and Chopper are different seem, if you'll pardon my saying this, pretty flimsy. Basically what I'm getting here is that under your standards someone has to talk to be considered sapient? I feel this is very offensive to mutes.

But hey, if it's just a matter of jobs we'll say Horse is a gunner. He's basically a gun already, so it's fine.

Also, you never actually asked me to explain why I had a low post count? You just expressed that you didn't like it and gave me some conditions that were contingent on me being accepted anyway. Why would I make a promise to participate in something I wasn't even accepted in? I mean, yeah, had you asked this would be on me, but you can hardly blame me for this looking at the situation.

Li Ju

Character Summary

Name: Mrs. Li
Age: Middle Aged
Race: Chinese Mantis
Gender: Female
Class/Job: Widow

Belongings

• The full estates and manor of her late husband, Mr. Li Chen, and all associated enterprises
• Li Chen's journal of alchemical formulae, kept on her person at all times
• A sample kit of her late husband's more popular wares

Skills and Abilities

• Mrs. Li is a capable housewife and highborn lady in all respects, from entertaining company to cleaning up when said entertaining goes horribly, inevitably wrong.
• Mrs. Li is possessed of all the abilities common to her kind- flight, camouflage, razor-sharp sickle arms, the ability to rotate her head 180 degrees, etc.
• Though considered a clumsy and an untalented fighter for her kind, the aftereffects of her husband's alchemical experimentation has gifted Mrs. Li with prodigious- some would even say freakish- size, strength, and appetite. She has also developed a tendency to spit corrosive acid when under duress, a fact which she finds extremely embarrassing.
• Mrs. Li is possessed of some minimal knowledge of alchemy due to her upbringing, though she still can't make heads or tails of her husband's more complex formulae. Li Ju's real talent lies with her deceptively sharp business acumen and experience in dealing with the noble houses.
• Mrs. Li knows her manor and the surrounding lands like the back of her claw, along with all it's myriad secret rooms and passages.

^{"It gets so lonely at night, up here in the manor..."}

Personality

Mrs. Ju was often noted for being a perfect match with her late husband up until his death: Remarkably well-mannered, exceedingly helpful, and monstrously absentminded. Following the death of her husband, Mrs. Li attempts to ward off loneliness with company, inviting all manner and class of arthropod into her manor for lunch. Unusually for a mantis, Li Ju prefers not to dirty her hands, considering violence boorish and unbecoming of a lady.

History

Li Ju (Originally Tang Ju) hails from the noble house of Tenodera. The 14th daughter of her brood, she likely would have languished her whole life as a minor court official had she not been the nymph-hood sweetheart (and occasional test subject) of the renowned alchemist Li Chen. Chosen as the famously-chaste apothecary's mate only a week or so into full adulthood, what followed was a whirlwind romance filled with passion, excitement, and highly unethical mantid experimentation.

All dreams, however, must come to an end, and so too did Mrs. Li's husband. He was found messily decapitated in his study one summer night, the remains of his head having vanished without a trace. The door, though locked, showed no signs of forced entry, and the only other person with a key had been Mrs. Li herself- who confirmed that none could have possibly entered her husband's study without her knowledge, due to the layout of the manor. In absence of any clue to the murderer's identity, it was deemed a freak accident; the case remains unsolved to this day.

Mrs. Li was, of course, inconsolable over the entire matter. To cope with her grief, she threw herself into work, seizing full control over her husband's estates to protect them from the notoriously-ruthless noble houses. In doing so, the late Mr. Li's business enterprises have seen a remarkable rise in profits. Surprising, to be sure, considering the poor woman's reputation for absentmindedness.

Well I mean, Chopper is an animal and he's a doctor. Plus there were all those arena contestants who were presumably part of pirate crews and had proper jobs as well. Big Mom has a magical talking rabbit man on her crew who explicitly isn't a Mink, as well.

That being said, could you go ahead and give me a list of these "necessities" that need to be filled? I mean, from what I've gathered, we're neither sticking to One Piece crew roles nor are we going with actually important real life crew roles. Since I have no idea what you want, I think this would go smoother if you just let me know straight up so I can accommodate you.

Moving on, I don't see why I need to have an arbitrary amount of posts to join a game. I'm primarily a lurker, and I can tell you firsthand that plenty of this site's major flakes have massive post counts, since all they do is chatter in the OOC and then leave. Frankly, it feels a bit like you're reaching for reasons to reject me. I won't speculate as to why, but I would like to point out that putting me on hold like this is a violation of your own "no reservations" policy.

@ProPro
In that case Horse is the quartermaster.
Easily one of the most vital positions for a sailing vessel.

@ProPro
Hey man, every team needs a mascot. That's a fundamental rule of shonen.
But anyway, what are these "actual crew positions" you're on about? Is the idea here just to ape the core One Piece crew? Because if so, I'll be the archeologist. Bam, problem solved.
