Contact: PM this journal or hit me up @ schmoechen#2732 on Discord! Character Name: Toshirou Hijikata Canon: Gintama
Info: Hijikata is the vice-commander of the Shinsengumi, the shogunate's special police force in Edo. Gintama features a world in which aliens (collectively called Amanto) conquered Earth in the 19th century, so he's used to advanced technology and people of different species. For more details on him I have my Prismatica application here. Oh, and he has an obsession with mayonnaise. It's really bad.
Since my Hijikata arrived as a Prismatica CRAU there are a few minor differences to the canon version, namely that he became a sex-haver (shocking insofar as he doesn't seem to have time to even think about that in canon, despite being surrounded by some stupendously horny castmates), and that he met his dead love interest again (sadly those two things didn't overlap). Retaining his memories of Prismatica gives him extra motivation to solve the time freeze problem so he can not only return to his comrades in Edo but also reunite with the new and old loved ones he left behind there (... never mind that they'll probably be gone when he finally does return because they were likewise pulled into different worlds again, as per the flow of DW RP!).
Desired CR: I'm up for absolutely anything with Hijikata! He feels a little lost without his men, especially without his commander (his work really is his whole life; he'll be on patrol all day, conduct a raid at night, and then fall asleep at his desk doing paperwork until dawn). As such the knight job is calling to him. I'm looking forward to having him team up with fellow quest-seekers, but rivals and enemies are also welcome, as are casual friendships with people who aren't the questing type! You'd like him as your character's spellcasting target? I'm game! Your character might consider him a love interest? Bring it on! Honestly, if someone treats him kindly he'll pretty much immediately think well of them, and if someone butts heads with him he'll butt right back without reservations. If he finds a good-hearted leader figure he may well latch on to them and work hard to support them.
Known Plans: I have so much I'd like to do this month!! I'll try to get my post up and tag out soon. I really want to play around with some items from the February announcement! The frost fairies are so cute, I'd like Hijikata to see one. He won't know what to do with the Disco Ball, though, so he may give it away. He isn't big on Valentine's Day right now due to having been separated or alienated from his love interests (yes, plural... thanks, Prismatica), but maybe someone wants to convince him to go for a honey coffee? Otherwise the Save a Beast, Kill a Man quest will definitely draw his attention; who can let that stand?! Forcing a woman into marriage and slaying an innocent kraken? That man is going down! If anyone would still like to do last month's Bridge Trolls quest they can go with Hijikata! He won't go for the other quests on his own, but if somebody needs help he won't say no.
As far as the TDM prompts go, he will head to the cliffs to help collect the new arrivals (always hoping for people he knows to show up) and then stay there to practice his fire magic. Anyone is welcome to join him, especially if people want to test how magic can work in combination! He'll also help with all three steps of the Medical Emagicy prompt, however he'll aim to completely avoid the Sync or Swim prompt since he doesn't trust Morganna though I think it's really cool stuff, so if anyone does want to persuade this stubborn man, by all means!. For this reason he'll also object to the Quest for the Pure of Heart, but it could be interesting to see what comes out of that if someone tries to take him along!
