Kalyn | Yuri, Sanzang, Jennifer

[onerous]

Name: Kalyn
Contact: Plurk: lordlings
Hobbies: Besides RP, I like cosplay, reading, video games, anime/manga! The typical Nerd Loser Stuff. I'm always on the lookout for new recs pls rec me all the things.
Fandoms: The big ones rn are Hamilton, Dangan Ronpa, Bungou Stray Dogs, Fatal Frame obvi and most other horror games, otome games, etc. Recently I got into Trinity Blood and I like a lot of older series too, like Petshop of Horrors and Saiyuki. I like CLAMP, Zero Escape, Persona, Psycho Pass, etc.

Yuri Kozukata | Fatal Frame V: Maiden of Black Water

[onerous]

About: Serious, introverted, and rather standoffish with people, she developed some interesting abilities following the violent deaths of her family that left her the only survivor (implied to be a traffic accident of some kind). She lives at the base of a mountain infamous as a suicide spot and her entire canon basically revolves around her trying to stop these spirits on the mountain. It's implied she's a descendant of the priestesses there who used to watch people commit suicide and take on the burden of their sins so they could move on to heaven without the sin of killing themselves holding them back, which is where Yuri's powers come from.

She's described by the director as "the story [is] of Yuuri taking in the emotions of the dead using Mitori and ending up becoming a shrine maiden. I thought of shrine maidens as an intermediary between life and death, so Yuuri had to be someone who was drifting in the rift between life and death - between being alive and dead - and if she took a single step she would have to go one way or the other. We were particularly careful to give her a look in her eyes that made you feel how in the middle she is. Eyes that look like she could go somewhere far away; eyes that look as though she could be called to by death at any moment. Grief-stricken eyes at the reality of eventually dying alone."

Her god ability is Fear manipulation
God/Shinki: God! She's Ixtab, the Goddess of Suicides
Plans: Her partner is Neji Hyuga who is Super Serious about Yuri being a proper god. Yuri indulges him from time to time in this, like wearing her fancy robes she regained.

For the most part she's hanging with Gojyo, Hakkai, Kurama, Shun, and Ukoku but I'm looking to expand that as I can. She's been trying to learn chess as much as possible in the hopes of beating Ukoku (it'll never happen but look she can try). She's also been attending classes at a couple universities, taking advantage of the fact most humans can't see the gods and all.

Also working on training her abilities so she has fewer accidents at seeing others' memories and trauma however you can pull this cheap CR/development springboard grab out of my cold dead hands so it'll never be perfected. BUT a part of that is her trying to get more physical with people. Not that she'll go out of her way to be touchy but she's trying to be less guarded and allow people to be physically affectionate/physical with her more to train it.
Wanted CR: I'm really interested in exploring more of the darker side of Yuri's god domain and the toll it's taking on her. She's largely pretty neutral on everything happening re: nora and the heavens and everything, she just wants information.

If anyone wants their character to relive their own traumas (shinki need not apply to this unless you really want an excuse for your character to die LAUGHS....) hmu
Unwanted CR: no such thing tbqh ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anything Else?:

[revolutionfalcon]

did someone say characters reliving their traumas because i say

gently prods shun towards from a safe distance

[theunluckygirl]

since I know nothing about shun's canon i'm very excited to see what trauma Yuri might pick up from him

"i thought this was a kid's show about card games what the fuucck"

[revolutionfalcon]

for some reason the fandom hasn't gifed much of this but have one tiny one for a general idea because it'll be a lot of CITY BURNING, GIANT ROBOTS FUCKIN SHIT UP AND BLOWING UP ACTUAL MILITARY ATTEMPTS TO INTERCEDE, PEOPLE RUNNING, PEOPLE APPARENTLY BURSTING INTO LIGHT AND DISAPPEARING they're getting turned into cards but you know details

don't do card games kids you'll end up at war and traumatised for life

[shockshot]

I'm new as heck but I just want to say that I'm really excited to see a Yuri in game! I'm you play her beautifully.

[onerous]

I'm always so surprised when people know the series, but also super excited \o/ whisper more fatal frames

But thank you, clearly this means we'll have to play off each other

[shockshot]

I know right? It's like finding an unexpected gem! all the fatal frames

But yes, clearly we do! And I need to watch Fatal Frame V again, because it's been awhile.

[vindicavi]

I do need to hit Yuri up sometime. Neji got all proper with him when he asked who or what Ixtab was, so she'd be something of a curiosity.

She's also more than welcome to see the hot mess that was his stupid life, you know I will never say no to that.

Sanzang | Saiyuki: Journey to the West/Warriors Orochi

[sanzohoshi]

About: She's the female version of a certain infamous priest, Genjo Sanzo. She's originally from Saiyuki: Journey West, but she's from specifically the Warriors Orochi 3 game since Koei tends to bring back characters from their older games into the Orochi titles. She's super sweet and cheerful, and described as "everyone's idol" type. She wants everyone to get along and be friendly, but despite her kind ways she's a really mean scrapper. In fact she's one of the few versions of Sanzo that employs a direct attack style. In Journey she whacked demons to death with her staff, but in Orochi she has Chinese watersleeves she uses to beat the shit out of people.

In general though she just wants everyone to get along. She also can heal people or strengthen them or whatever through her dancing, which she loves to do to cheer people up and help them relax!

As an aside, her god ability is Empathic Healing.
God/Shinki: God! Kanzeon, Goddess of Mercy and Compassion
Plans: Her assigned partner is now Chuuya, whom she's made promise to forever be loyal to her and never betray her and oh yeah he's free to kill the nora she has if THEY ever turn on her. (To be completely fair that promise was made like 90% to make Chuuya happy, not because she actually wants him to, and because she's 100% it'll never have to happen).

That said she also has two nora: Barry Goodman and her other half Genjo Sanzo.

Plans-wise I have nothing for her, but Sanzang is a pretty good catalyst for launching others' plans if anyone needs an excuse for something. She's enthusiastic and loves to help people out so if you're like "boy I want my character to gt involved in X or be at this place but don't have an IC means for them to be there on their own" I'm okay with Sanzang being used as the reason. She'll just cheerfully steamroll over all protests to get them there.

Her temple also is home to a bunch of mischievous monkeys, so if anyone ever wants to complain to her about her monkeys getting out or do something with them causing trouble, please feel free to. I have no doubt they'd pop over to other temples and fuck things up for the hell of it so again feel free to use it as a catalyst for your own plots as needed.

I also encourage people to notice how close she and Sanzo are and tease them about it tbqh. They're oblivious to their own shit and don't see how it can come across (y'all are the ones making it weird!!) so it's fun!!

Wanted CR: She also needs people to tell her to take it down a notch and force her to relax, because she's definitely the type to take on way too much responsibility. Others pain becomes her pain and she puts too much on herself trying to help, so pls tell her to take a rest.
Unwanted CR: the limit does not exist etc etc

Anything Else?: NO ONE GIFS SANZANG I DONT HAVE ANYTHING I'M SORRY

[very_goodman]

Once he gets an actual location for his idol studio and the training begins in earnest, Barry will force her to relax once in a while. Pretty much exactly like in the CMO thread. He doesn't take any crap from his idols when he's in business mode.

[theunluckygirl]

HAha Sanzang seeing a whole new side of her shinki Σ(ﾟロﾟ)!! she'll be so surprised she'll probably listen the first time or two and then after be like BUT BARRY.... T'S FINE I SWEAR I CAN KEEP GOING!!

[very_goodman]

He's not above bribing her with cute stuff to rest like she should!

Jennifer | Rule of Rose

[theunluckygirl]

About: Sole survivor of not one, but TWO huge disasters that have let her more than a little traumatized. A very kind, gentle girl who's easy to bully; she rarely tells someone no. Repressed memories of her childhood until at 19 she was forced to go back through and relive the moments as an adult to piece her broken mind back together. She's shy and polite but has difficulties forming connections with people due to her past.
God/Shinki: Shinki! She turns into a rose broach
Plans: Her partner is Judar form Magi, who views her as a child would a toy and has a very "I don't really like her/want her but no one else can have her either."

I'll be putting up a log for it sometime in the next couple days, where Judar, fed up with Jennifer's constant shyness and anxiety, has taken up Schuldig on an offer to force Jennifer's emotions to be suppressed for day. This plot will really only last a day since Judar isn't interested in paying to keep this up, but it'll be interesting to play with for the day and the fallout from that.

She's also going to be attending the classes/get-togethers at Souji's temple and teach sewing to those interested and explore the human world a little and get used to modern technology.
Wanted CR: Friends... Please she needs people to encourage her to stand up for herself. Jennifer herself has some trouble with accepting nice things happening to her but that doesn't mean people shouldn't try!!
Unwanted CR: blahblahblah

Anything Else?:


ALSO please make sure to take a peek at her permissions/opt-out post as Rule of Rose deals with a lot of really fucked up content and I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable!

Re: Jennifer | Rule of Rose

[sweetdeath]

I'd love to throw Tsuzuki at Jennifer! I'll keep an eye out for that log.

[onerous]

Yes! I'll have other prompts too in the log, like walking dogs and them getting out of control or something.

Jennifer also canonly has a huge sweet tooth for tsuzuki being a god of sweets is A+ new best friend give her cake

[sweetdeath]

Dogs, sweets, and intense trauma from being bullied as young orphans: these two have got to be friends.
