That sounds perfect! I'll wait patiently.

[young_oldman]

Name: San
Contact: Send me an email/google hangouts request at mingrps@gmail.com or PP me through Lu Meng's journal.
Hobbies: Videogames
Fandoms: Koei Warriors, horror games, and currently so deep into Fallout 4 I've probably dug myself out to the other side of the world.

Character: Lu Meng
About: Grand General of the Wu army and the resident naggy old man, Lu Meng takes it upon himself to look out for and help guide the next generation of soldiers and strategists. He likes reading books and studying, and is courteous, if a little blunt in speech. However he's not afraid to get his hands dirty and enjoys a good brawl if the opportunity presents itself.
God/Shinki: Shinki
Plans: Currently paired up with Sanae Kochiya, resident goddess of miracles. He's taken on his role as exemplar quite seriously, so he's trying to help guide Sanae while answering prayers, going for shinki magic classes and learning more about the current times. Things are a little awkward between him and Sanae right now because they had an ugly argument, but they've also come to understand each other a little better and he's working on making it up to her.

I'd definitely like him to do more things in the modern world. Stuff like learning how to take a train, having fun at the arcade, learning about video games and getting addicted to strategy games like Civilization. Maybe I might drag him to an anime convention, I just love the "man-out-of-time" trope a lot.

Ultimately I'd also like him to become a Hafuri too but that's a long-term goal.

Wanted CR: People with similar values as he has (ie. valuing loyalty, taking their jobs as shinki seriously) and/or are also struggling to understand the modern world. Also anyone else who wants to follow him to the modern world and learn new things. Sparring buddies, anyone who wants to practice shinki magic with him are also very welcomed.
Unwanted CR: Not keen on antagonistic/negative CR at the moment.

Anything Else?:

1. I'm in GMT +8 so unfortunately my tagging time is kinda weird.
2. Work has a tendency of going from really calm to really busy in the snap of a finger, so my tagging speed might drop sharply if that happens. I will inform the muns I'm tagging if work escalates and I need to put RP on the shelf for a bit.
3. I also have a screened opt-out post here if you'd like to opt out of CR/tags from him, no reasons needed.
4. I'm canonblind to Noragami; I've been reading the FAQ and the wikia to fill in the gaps, but if I make any mistakes about the lore don't hesitate to let me know.
5. He is fundamentally against the idea of serving more than one god since he views the relationship between a shinki and a god akin to a retainer and a lord. As such Lu Meng is very much against the idea of going nora and will act distant towards nora characters.

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

[revolutionfalcon]

i more meant that the thrift shop thread w/ ren currently would be considered a date by that measure but HAJIME U DO NOT NEED TO ORCHESTRATE THE GRUMPY BIRD'S NONEXISTENT LOVE LIFE

[fontechnician]

Guy's gotten better at motorcycle operation, would Hazel be interested in a ride sometime?

[fontechnician]

Bored nihilist wizard is such a good description.

[revolutionfalcon]

Hibari's been a subject of discussion at one point of the conversation basically every time Shun and Ren have met so far so while Shun hasn't met him he has a pretty good idea of how difficult he is to deal with. Once he gets over being pissed with Eric he'll probably sympathise at least a little. dw he'll just say it out of hibari's earshot
he'll start a fight on his own terms but not if it's going to get someone else's ass kicked for something he said

[revolutionfalcon]

Given Shun's BFF is a shinki he'll get the whole "can't go too deep down the rabbit hole" thing, but he'll listen to whatever she does have to say about it.

[revolutionfalcon]

Sure! Davesprite has his sword back now so you know, totally not disconcerting sword through his stomach...probably not they both seem pretty set on their own opinions here

[redstray]

I mean, Hibari sort of needs to be talked about, poor Ren has to suffer through it all.Must be difficult dealing with that kind of shinki, poor god needs to vent. Haha cool! Eric's not one to being friendly with strangers, but he's not a horrible person and can warm up to them, just got to get past the attitude. He's practically honor roll compared to Hibari XD
good, cause he only won the last fight cause Hibari was injured

[fontechnician]

/grab hands at Hakkai

I'd like more CR between Guy and Hakkai, they got along pretty well (even if Hakkai distrusted Guy slightly?) in their first meeting, but I don't think they've interacted since then.

[redstray]

IDK if I should have CR right when you go all vampire but I feel like these two might??? Be able to have some form of CR??? Iunno blunt hard to get along with people meets another? Also Eric's shinki power is turning into a dog...because I'm horrible but maybe that can help with friends?? /awkward intro is awkward but hi

[redstray]

BOO!

[reformedsinner]

Absolutely! They did get along pretty well, and I'd enjoy throwing Hakkai back his way. (Distrust is sort of a compliment from him. It means he's impressed with Guy's capabilities.)

[eternalshield]

Name: Kaley
Contact: inperpetuity
Hobbies: I read mostly-- US history, forensic science, some scattered world history. How do you acquire hobbies, I probably need a few...!
Fandoms: Akatsuki no Yona is what's currently eating my brain, but also Weiss Kreuz, Yu Yu Hakusho, Dragonball, Law and Order, ATLA/LOK, various DC and Marvel permutations, especially Young Justice (Animated), MCU, X-Men: Evolution, oldskool DCAU, and Supergirl

Character: Zeno
About: Happy Sunshine Face! Except when he's not, but we're not gonna talk about that just yet.
God/Shinki: God to one Shin-ah
Plans: Shin-ah's been on hiatus during this last so Zeno's basically just been tagging out here and there. He's On A Mission to discover his powers (shield generation because I have no imagination) so he might go looking for people to throw attacks at him. He's also curious about the hierarchy of the gods and how they functioned prior to this, since this is not his first such rodeo.
Wanted CR: Be his kid lol. He will love, cuddle, play with, and potentially feed anyone who needs it. Or be his equal. That's harder but he will still love you. I am also still vaguely planning to get him started with cameras and emojis and things like that. He wants all the pictures of his dragon bros.
Unwanted CR: Trying to annoy him is hard-- he's at a stage in his life where he basically doesn't care and thinks it's adorable when you try, so if you're okay with that, go for it! And he's not really looking for A Serious Relationship (for... reasons) but honestly I'm open to anything.

Character: Youji Kudou
About: Snarky flirt assassin florist private detective art teacher. Kind of an asshole, especially lately.
God/Shinki: God
Plans: His shinki is Kija. It's rough on both of them. He's pretty bitter about this memory loss bullshit, because he just got done in canon deciding "Yes, I'll betray everyone in order to lose my memories," then changing his mind to "No, I'll keep my memories for the sake of keeping my dead girlfriend's memory alive," to this place, but he'll never admit it.

Kija finally nagged him into a prayer that is slated to Go Wrong, but otherwise, it's making him remember he does kind of enjoy the James Bond/'40s Noir aesthetic.

Wanted CR: He tends toward neutral to negative CR, unless kids or pretty women are involved. He will parry sarcasm forever. I'm sort of feeling the negativity though, so I am gonna try and get him into more positive spaces.
Unwanted CR: Nothing jumps out right now.

Anything Else?: So glad I have Zeno for gif purposes. Alternately, who has WK gifs.

[fontechnician]

God, all these nerds calling him nerdy.

[eternalshield]

Zeno might go looking for someone to try and trigger his powers. And he will basically be friends with anyone and drag them out to to play games...

[slantedcross]

Talking hypotheticals... that "Ken noras as Aya's katana" idea... I'm not sure I want to go for it just yet because things are so nice and calm right now, but... it is in the backburner of my brain.

Otherwise, we need to get these two doing something!

[whereyoulead]

nice and calm...since when is anything with these idiots nice and calm

BUT YES. any other ideas since Youji can't...really...tease him about his old girlfriends or something?

[eternalshield]

I think Zeno would enjoy a friend around his own age... also troll him casually somehow. He'd casual-troll right back if he can swing it.

[slantedcross]

PUNCH HIM FOR THAT BBS POST

[whereyoulead]

LIKE HE NEEDS THE EXCUSE

[herbalsupplements]

They've got to, like, reach a point where they're buying each other prune juice and canes or some shit. I like this. Secret old man club!

[eternalshield]

"Hey~ You growing something for the pain in those old bones of yours~"

Re: your permissions post, I'm not sure what Kurama would perceive. He's super old, spiritually aware, aaaand idk, he has godly blood. How that translates into YuYu-speak is beyond me.

[churchbelle]

well, he might watch,,,
