NAME: Miru CONTACT:databomb or PMs! FUN FACTS: My hands are always so cold, help. I do stuff with comics and indie VNs, so I'm usually crying sweatily over my computer in my little goblin cave. Also I read an absolutely stupid amount of manga so if you ever want recommendations in almost any genre, we should chat, fingerguns.
CHARACTER
NAME: Minegishi Gen CANON: Boy's Abyss LEGACY: Lover SECT: Kenoma
CHARACTER PITCH: Horrible Troubled Teen with anger issues. Local nuisance, originally a normie, has punched way more people in this game so far than he really should have. Actually deeply heartbroken and traumatized but, like, who in this game isn't saddled with five tons of baggage so he should honestly get his shit together??? Unhealthily reckless, fight-happy and kind of a petulant asshole, but if you catch him at the right times he can just be, like, a regular, garden-variety shitty teenager with the normal amount of attitude and deadpan sass; he also tends to mellow out if people are a little patient with him at first. He does get ferociously protective over the few people he chooses to like, and there's tiny traces of a normal, good person buried somewhere deep down there but hoo boy ... is it really worth the trouble of getting there???
DESIRED CR: Honestly, anyone who's willing to tolerate Gen in any capacity would be grand. Characters who would be willing to let some petulant teenage bullshit slide will probably get a mellower version of his usual lip, and once he does start warming up to people, Gen tends to consider them very much 'his' to defend and keep an eye on. Despite his atrocious attitude (and deeply self-sabotaging nature), he's very lonely and Sad deep down inside, and would be tsundere-ly grateful for people who can tolerate him.
OFFERED CR:
➡ Despite what I said up there, Gen is basically a walking negative CR machine, so ... ! He's grudgingly accepted his role as one of the Regent's stooges, which means he's on the aggressive side when it comes to handling Pleroma folks. Though not a super-powerful combatant, he has gained enough magic to be a thorn in people's sides, so if any Pleroma folks are looking for someone to fight with, he's more than available as an even/easy match!
➡ But! He's also a combative teenager, so he has no qualms about feuding against fellow Kenoma folks, either. If anyone wants to have a shitty, snippy, argumentative relationship with a 6'1" teen, he's more than available.
➡ Fellow normies to bond with. Despite his newly awakened powers, he still essentially hates all this fantasy nonsense and will warm up a little more quickly to people who are familiar with modern day Japan, or even just seem ... y'know, normal. Please can they talk about, like, sneakers or shitty phone games or the latest seasonal item from McD's or something.
➡ Training/sparring partners. Not knowing what else to do with himself, he's taken to training pretty diligently in both physical combat and magic. Notably, he's not that good with either yet, but he's also not at all averse to taking/giving blows and would thus be up for sparring against people of any skill level! He wants to grow stronger, so people willing to either give him pointers and/or just indulge him in an afternoon-long fistfight would earn big (if unspoken) plus points in his book.
➡ Youths. Despite everything else going on with him, he's ultimately just a shitty teenager who likes shitty teenage things. People around his age will probably be treated with a little less caution, and he's not above mundane, normie hangout sessions when the time is right -- shopping, chit-chatting, what have you.
➡ Functional (or concerned?) adults ........ My god he's never had a single good role model in his life and it shows. Having to worry about this pain in the ass is such a thankless task, and he's generally quite prickly about people who show concern towards him, but that sort of attention also isn't something he easily forgets about, either. This would probably be a somewhat slow-burn option, especially because he's been really badly hurt by a parental figure in the past, but enough patience in this vein would probably earn his unconditional loyalty. Eventually.
PLOT HOOKS: Gen is a grudging Kenoma who isn't exactly subtle about hating it. Though his circumstances back home were miserable enough that he'd be happy to see it gone, he still pines for parts of it, as well as having some doubts about how fundamentally 'right' it is to see everything obliterated. He does fight for the Regent and throws hands with Pleroma folks whenever the chance arises, but definitely leans more on the side of aimless anger (and wanting to avoid punishment) than true devotion to the cause. Gen definitely isn't above being swayed to the Pleroma's side, though it would take some time and would probably be more out of self-preservation than true belief in their cause. Still, he would absolutely waver in the face of enough persuasion from Pleroma folks, and I'd absolutely love to explore things in that vein! Or, y'know, if Pleroma folks want a horrible mangy dog snapping at their heels, he's available for that too!
EVENT PLANS: Nnnnnnothing specific, I fear! I'll probably throw him into mingles to hassle newcomers, and I'm available for basically any shenanigans around Achamoth that might come about!
ANYTHING ELSE? Everyone forced to endure Gen's presence, probably:
(Also, I do know that playing against confrontational, aggressive (and frankly somewhat unsavory) characters isn't everyone's cup of tea, so I have an easy opt-out post right here for anyone who doesn't want to deal with all that!)
