CR/Plotting Meme!
Monthly CR & Plotting Meme


It's that time again already! It's time for our current players to plot for the month ahead, get some new CR and chat together about things to come. Go ahead and copy/paste the form below. Or don't. We aren't your parents, we can only make really good suggestions. (Unless...? Nah.)
Put your name/handle in the subject line!

Schmittchen | Toshirou Hijikata
Character Name: Toshirou Hijikata
Canon: Gintama (This is just one of those zodiac memes going around on Twitter, but I feel like it gives a nice little glimpse into Gintama's atmosphere!)
Info: What if aliens invaded Earth in the 19th century (and we only looked at how that would affect Japan)? You get a wild mix of samurai stuff and space ships, CD players, MMOPRGs, and other 20th/21st century staples. In that chaotic world Hijikata co-leads the Shinsengumi, the shogunate's special police. He's a bit of a short-tempered bastard with a mayonnaise obsession, but ultimately he stands by his principles. I've got some first impressions here!
Magics & Familiar: Elemental & Death | Crow Tengu (Arashi)
Desired CR: I'm always up for anything (I mean it)!! Hijikata has some really great solid CR, and he got to know many new people last month. While a bunch of threads are still ongoing (forgive my slowness, work knocked me back a bit again this week!) he has a good impression of everyone new so far, and I'm curious to see where those relations might go too if you'd like to keep throwing them at each other!
Known Plans: There's so much good stuff to do again this month..!! Since the death mages who helped with the mirror are getting a reward I may make a prompt for that in case anyone would like some nice downtime in Celliwig. In terms of TDM prompts Hijikata will try to stay away from the mandrakes since he's wary of them (and also because he's preoccupied with the murders around town), but if anyone would like to do that with him, please rope him in!! I'll happily tag out. Of course he'll join the lake caravan to Elphame and end up going under, only to wake up with a new cecaelia bottom. Now Hijikata is one of the least horny Gintama characters (which says a lot), but his time on Prismatica did a number on him and left him with a... "special interest" in tentacles, so I'm playing with the idea of having him dawdle and end up stuck like that for a while for maximum awkwardness. He'll deflect and lie as hard as possible if anyone notices how compromised he is, but maaaybe there's a chance for some NSFW shenanigans there. I'm not yet sure if I'll have him back to normal in time to join the events at the castle. We'll see!
Regarding the Questboard he'd need to be roped into preparing the farmlands for Pomona's Day, the #MerlinQuest, and the Carcinus culling, mainly because he's so focused on the murders (and the roping doesn't have to be IC; just let me know if you'd like him to make himself useful on any of those fronts with your character and we'll make it happen!). On the dark web side of things he'll be available to protect, escort and/or defend animal mages who are being persecuted. I may just hit him with different fun animal parts at that stage, probably bull traits as another call-back to Prismatica. Why should he get a break?
One more thing I keep forgetting! The other month he lost his sword when he got into a kerfuffle with a fuath in the lake, and the Lady of the Lake kindly retrieved it for him, but not without first pretending that she instead found two (far more valuable) other swords... and since Hijikata was happy enough to take either of those as a replacement for the time being she gave him a slap of the wrist for being so unfaithful to his sword, in the form of a spell: the first thing that is said after someone is struck by his sword will come true. If anyone would like to have that be the cause for shenanigans, hit me up!
ALSO please never hesitate to poke me if I haven't responded to your tag after 3 days or longer! If that happens there's a 99% chance that Dreamwidth ate the notification!
Other: He won't even stop short of animals.

Please introduce this clueless android to the strange wonder that is mayonnaise someday...
no subject
He absolute will introduce her to mayonnaise, and if she likes it (can an android extract anything useful from it?) he'll consider her a friend just for that alone.
no subject
If he wants a girl who doesn't think he's either baffling or offensive, but really really cool, then 2B is the gal. I'll keep a lookout for Hijikata things in the very near future, maybe at the next event later this month, but just wanted to toss a hello your way for now. :D
