Monthly CR & Plotting Meme



It's the 4th! That means that it's time now 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!

<b>Contact:</b> (Discord/Plurk/PM/etc.) <b>Character Name:</b> <b>Canon:</b> <b>Info:</b> Include a brief summary of the character or if you've got an info post, feel free to link that. <b>Magic & Familiar:</b> <b>Desired CR:</b> What type of relationships are you looking for? Friendship? Enemies? Frenemies? Romance? Anything? Be as specific or vague as you want. <b>Known Plans:</b> Do you have any plans for future posts or involvement? See a quest you want to play out? Maybe you saw a prompt you wanted to do something with? <b>Other:</b> Gifs, warnings, mindfulness thought of the day, whatever you want that doesn't fit in the other categories.

Reminder: Please submit any wishes your character may have, no matter how ridiculous, unrealistic, or gamebreaking they may seem. Both new and old characters may submit!

Schmittchen | Toshirou Hijikata

[mayoninofukucho]

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!).

Magic & Familiar: Elemental Magic (Fire) & Crow Tengu

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!

Other: In the spirit of Valentine's Day...

[corpsewarblade]

Quest Friends?? She is is also feeling the 'lost without commander' pain, and she (and I!) have been enjoying their threads together. I'm going to get some quest log stuff up probably at the weekend if he wants to join her for another one.

[mayoninofukucho]

Quest friends!! It's so cute to me how well these two hit off, given that they come from such different backgrounds. I also love how clueless he is about her identity and everything. He really thinks she's a fashionable girl who just so happens to also be a capable, versatile fighter...

I'm definitely up for another quest!! If Mukuro goes for any Hijikata wouldn't go for (and she doesn't already have a partner for those) I'll definitely toss him into her post.

[corpsewarblade]

Definitely! These two have really hit it off well and I'm loving how well they're getting along together.

Sounds like a plan :)

[mayoninofukucho]

I totally dropped the ball on catching up with most quest posts... work crossed half my plans this week. I saw Mukuro already has a good deal of partners for her knight quest by now, so I'll hit her up for the noble quest (if you still have capacity)! Cheers for hitting me up for the troll shenanigans, too! ❤

[corpsewarblade]

That sounds good to me if you're up for that! Feel free to hit her up

Re: Schmittchen | Toshirou Hijikata

[heartlessswordsman]

Hijikata is a delight and I think I would love to save a beast and kill a man with him.

[mayoninofukucho]

So is Zelgadis!! That was a really fun fight; it helped Hijikata enjoy himself after the lake dunk and the bravery cave cramped his style a little. And awesome, I'll lock that quest to Zel then (unless you have a prompt for it up already)! Let's do this!!

[heartlessswordsman]

I don't have a prompt up for it yet! Let's be excellent and murder a dude

[mayoninofukucho]

Heck yep!! I'll link it here when I get it posted (hopefully tomorrow).

[heartlessswordsman]

Sounds excellent!

Re: Schmittchen | Toshirou Hijikata

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Gotta say, I really loved these two butting heads. I am a HUGE Gintama fan (I played Shinpachi back in the day) and writing these two was a hoot. I am totally down with the friendly rivalry they've got going and would love to explore that more.

[mayoninofukucho]

SERIOUSLY this fight has been so much fun!! I really laughed at how over-the-top these guys went for no good reason. And OMG Shinpachi!! That poor good boy, constantly surrounded by morons... I'm happy you played him, even if I missed him.

I'm 100% up for having these two do more stuff together! We can just keep an eye out for each other's prompts and see what works out, unless you have a preference?

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Being the straight man to this whirlwind of assholes was one of the most fun things I ever got to rp. Maybe one day I'll bring him out of retirement.

I'm good with anything! I'm about to throw up a quest catch-all and I see you have one up too so let's just go with what feels right!

[mayoninofukucho]

I hit Darin up for the library quest!! With Hijikata being such a spoilsport I needed someone who hadn't gone in yet (and who ideally didn't have other partners already). Let's see if Darin can convince/goad him into coming along for that or if they just end up making a scene outside!

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Oh man, do I have an idea on where to take this nonsense. I hope you're ready because I'm already laughing

[bakudan_bambino]

Hey smoking buddy wanna meet up for coffee and talk shit about whatever? Explain why... mayonnaise? Gokudera saw that network convo with Arthur and he has questions.

[mayoninofukucho]

Ohhhh, that sounds good! I'm all for it. I can reserve one of the more casual prompts I'm writing for Gokudera! Maybe he can run into Hijikata watching frost fairies over breakfast at the hotel? I could easily tie the mayonnaise into that too.

[bakudan_bambino]

I think that sounds perfect! Just hit me up when it goes up or if there's anything you made just for him. c: Feel free to PM this journal if I don't respond right away (I'm working but I'm also on the computer like... all the time)

[mayoninofukucho]

I'll link the post here when it's done! I'm kind of a slow writer and often playing catch-up because work keeps kicking my arse, so no worries at all if you take a little while too! There's no rush, and I'll backtag forever.

[mayoninofukucho]

I won't be able to respond before tomorrow, but I got my post up!

[whatsamada]

Wanted to say that I found the CR between Ken and Toshirou to be really cute.

I hope you don't mind continuing that CR?

[mayoninofukucho]

Yes, that was a cute thread!! Of course I'm up for them having more CR. Luckily Hijikata knows some really kickass kids back home, so he generally treats them as equals (unless he sees that they're in over their heads). So Ken won't have to worry about not being taken seriously!

[whatsamada]

I have an open post up if you're up for it! If not, I can always tag into whatever you're plotting to do over the month!

[mayoninofukucho]

I'm catching up with everything that I missed over the week right now, so I'll be sure to check Ken's post out! If I see something that works for Hijikata I'll tag right in, otherwise I'll link my post here when I'm done with it and you can see if anything suits Ken.
