RP buddy on Fantasy board. Asian PB required
Heya guys.
Anyone still play Japanese faces these days? Or any Asian faces for that matter? I have an Akanishi Jin 47Ronin PB over on a fantasy Jcink site who is in total need of an arch enemy. I’m not picky about PBs at all though I will just advise that the site itself likes all images to be theme appropriate (aka, no modern clothes and accessories etc). No anime either.
I’m looking for a mature RPer who is comfortable writing a complex character. Someone who is not going to shy away from some dark themes and who, like me, is happy to rock out with a glass of wine while cackling over a fight scene.
I want these characters to rumble and tumble; fight their way through scenes and beat each other up. Destroy parts of towns, brawl through other people’s threads and throw some damn punches. I need an RPer who is happy with having a chat about the outcome of the scene but then letting everything play out naturally. Brawl godmodding is a must (none of this ‘he swung and hoped it hit’. Just bloody hit each other!) But we need to be on the same page and both happy to dish out and take hits while maintaining a ‘no permanent damage’ godmod rule (so don’t go chopping my guys arm off without me agreeing to it and vice versa). Does that make sense?
Sound like something you’d be interested in? Sick of always playing friends and lovers lines? Want some more action? Then keep reading.
The site is called Valour and it seems pretty good so far. It’s got a whole fantasy world thing going with a multicultural vibe for all the different locations.
As said above, I have Akanishi Jin as a mercenary/shinobi outcast from his homeland due to being framed for trying to assassinate the Emperor.
That is where your character would come in. They framed him on purpose.
So enter the Perfect Enemy. Other than the blood feud between this character and my Hiroto, the history, personality, name… everything about this character is up to you. Keep in mind that it's highly likely that your character didn't want to kill the Emperor and failed on purpose; the solo reason for the attempt was to set Hiroto up to take the fall. Although you can interpret that small bit of cannon however you wish. Also there is a lot of information in this advert that might not make a lot of sense until you click around the board, but I’m being slightly lazy and leaving it the way it is.
Name: Completely open PB: Completely open but must be Taigonian (Asian) Age: Late 20’s, early 30’s. Should be slightly older than Hiroto (26) but not by much.
This is the person who framed Hiroto for the attempted assassination of the Emperor, so they’ll need to hold a grudge. An easy connection would be making them the son of the warlord that Hiroto’s father helped to overthrow but anything goes and I’m open to all suggestions.
I don’t want them evil in a mustache twirling, diabolic sense. Ideally they will be played in a way that has them feeling as if they are right and Hiroto and his family are the bad ones. An eye for an eye and a destroyed life for a destroyed life etc.
They would be of a comparable age and while being a magic user is not a necessity it would keep them on an even playing field. Having them as complete polar opposites of Dark and Light could also be rather fun. They probably would have served in the military with Hiroto as well. If not, they would have needed a way to steal enough of his arrows without the number being noticed.
The best bit? Hiroto has no clue who this character is and, since this person is out to destroy him, that puts all the power in your hands. Maybe they’ve actually met or maybe they are mercenaries currently working together with your guy pulling a con over Hiroto. Maybe they were childhood friends and ran the streets together only, unlike Hiroto, this character grew up knowing who he was and who was responsible for his father/brother/mother’s death/disgrace/shame etc.
Long Term: Obviously Hiroto will need to eventually find out who this person is. Once that happens it would be amazing for them to end up in some intense ‘cat and mouse’ threads. Let’s have them stalk each other around the world? Have them trying to undermine and ruin each other’s jobs; pop up in order to blow each other’s cover during covert operations. Heaven help it if they walk into the same tavern as they’re instantly going to try to kill each other.
Where we go from there is totally open for interpretation and depends on the development of the characters. I’ve been known to kill off my characters for ‘the lols’ and story purposes, so this character killing Hiroto would be an option. I would like Hiroto capturing this character and taking him back to the Emperor to be an option for you.
Or, you never know, maybe they overcome their differences and realise that they’re sort of obsessed with each other and end up on the same side as partners in crime/buddies/lovers. I’m completely happy to let the story play out any way and leave it to develop organically.
