Welcome to Affliction, everyone! In place of an OOC Intro (since those are being done on Discord), here's a CR meme where you guys can talk about your characters and future CR!
Character Name: Shinei Nouzen Canon: 86 (note that I am playing from the novels, but gimme all that sweet icon fodder from the anime) Team/Partner: #13 | Herlock Sholmes Blurb: Here's a line from my app:
Okay jokes aside, Shin is a child soldier that's been enlisted since he was 11, so at this point he's more than acquainted with the battlefield and its horrors to the point where he's pretty much numb to it all. As you can imagine, that totally makes him a hoot at parties where he just wallflowers and watches people as they do their thing (or ignores them, depends on his mood). With that said, he's also fairly laid-back, so he's honestly not that hard to get along with as long as certain buttons aren't pushed and someone's willing to deal with him "......" at them when he doesn't feel like he wants to answer something. And despite coming off as indifferent and apathetic to most things, he can also play along with silly shit tbqh, he's not a complete stick in the mud. Just don't expect his expression to change much the whole time.
Also, just a heads up but because 86 is about child soldiers that have been conscripted and shipped off to war by a country that has stripped them of all human rights, there's a number of CW worthy topics that could potentially come up in convos. While I can definitely steer away from topics if needed, Shin can also be very blunt about what he's experienced and isn't the type to sugarcoat things.
Because of this, I've included a place for people to opt-out on his First Impressions page, so please do give that a look!!
Looking for: Anything!!! Give me all the CR dammit, I am down to clown with whatever dynamic we end up getting, regardless of whether it's positive or negative CR
Considering how he's pretty quiet though, more outgoing individuals would probably be able to get more conversation out of him but Shin is also content to hang out with someone in a corner reading books or something. They can have a book club. And as mentioned before, while he isn't the life of a party or anything, he also isn't opposed to participating in certain games or getting dragged along to help carry groceries (within limits) or whatever, so have at it!!!
Offering: looks at him, looks into the void
Okay but honestly, once you get past all that stoicism and aloofness, he can actually be a pretty good friend even if he's not always the most... gentle... when it comes to comforting people. If he even comforts people at all. But he does care in his own weird way and if he considers you a comrade then he'll quite literally remember you for the rest of his life. Yeah.
I will also say that it's near impossible to get him to actually hate someone!! So he can definitely tolerate assholes just fine and sometimes can even sass back a little bit. Otherwise he's also pretty good at playing the straight man or just being rude by virtue of him being stupidly blunt.
Other: i don't have any funny memes with him so have a gif of his mechanical dog(???) Fido dancing
MAN i wish the dog could've come with but fido is uh 10 tonnes and would probably accidentally kill wwx oops. he's a big boy.
reaches back!!! wwx can teach him to have fun obvs!! and shin can....... teach him how to use modern shit. or guns. i'm not sure the last one is a great idea but hey!! ouo
reaches for!! i know nothing about shizuku, but she seems really cute... she also may or may not end up also reminding him of someone he knows depending on how their interactions go, so i look forward to seeing where they end up ouo
someone else is gonna have to make it though, otherwise it'll just be like 20 people in the library suddenly all realizing that they're just there consistently enough to call it a club
MECH MECH MECH MECH I apologize in advance if Idia is way too excited about how anime-like his shitty, shitty life is and takes a while to get it through his head that like. hm. that sure is an abominable thing to have done to humans.
