NAME & PRONOUNS: isa & they/them
CONTACT: [plurk.com profile] phaseblast / isa#2727 on discord
AREAS OF INTEREST: rp + life, but mostly video games and anime things, rambly meta about characters and tropes and themes bc u can take the boy out of an english major but u can't take an english major out of the boy.... fate/ is probably especially prominent. sometimes i also complain about art or music or coding and how they're hard.


> CHARACTER

NAME: tomoe
CANON: kamisama hajimemashita
JOURNAL: [personal profile] jinshi
POWER: contract bestowal
JOB: he's been a bartender at some nameless bar but he's SICK OF IT. NO MORE OF THIS HUMAN GARBAGE. he wants a teahouse/brothel instead!!! he just has absolutely no idea how to go about it.
SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: tomoe was in the simulation and helped wreak havoc towards the end, but otherwise mostly hovered protectively around ren amamiya bc (points) That's His Master Now

PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: now that he has a master, he'll be more directed! he does not know what that direction is yet. but he's going to tentatively engage with the world more now, bc as a servant his goal is to achieve whatever ren wants achieved, and he knows that is to help this world. note: he still doesn't actually give a shit about the humans or their lives. he is just trying to understand what "helping this world" would even MEAN and how humans like... work. he is not happy about this.

AREAS OF INTEREST:

  • the main thing is probably the shrines which he's mostly regarded with puzzled disdain up until now; they're a crossroads of "only culture i am interested in (mine)" and "how do humans work? we just don't know" that can actually be explained to him by other displaced, so he'll stop ignoring those lmao.

  • he's still mostly interested in spiritualism because he wants to know whether gods just straight up don't exist in this world or whether they've abandoned it. this isn't really something he's going to get ANSWERS from any time soon, but he will persistently take interest in historical sites where divine presence SHOULD be, and he'll possibly attempt shinto rituals even knowing he's not the type they would work for. he just really wants gods back, please???

  • like i said HE WANTS A TEAHOUSE. it would be an environment that would soothe some of his homesickness, and where he could actually put his skillset to use. unfortunately even though he could certainly manage the running of the place, he is not a business-savvy creature and has no idea how to like. actually make it happen. he's undoubtedly befriended sex workers bc he used to spend all his time in the youkai red light district, they're his usual company, but he doesn't have the knowledge necessary to propose a business to them. help a fox realise his dreams.

HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: since he's attempting to puzzle out What Is Humans, he's likely to direct that at other displaced! your character is welcome to have been confronted by bizarre philosophical questions about human nature from a fox boy who is absolutely incapable of accepting an emotional or subjective answer. the other main places to run into him are the red light district and fight clubs, because he's struggling to pacify his more violent youkai nature right now without a proper shinshi bond.

OVERALL GOALS: the teahouse is a material goal but character-wise, generally my main interest with tomoe is the interaction between an immortal existence and a mortal world. this is ULTRA long-term and filled with difficulties, it's just what is typically on my mind; canonically youkai are incompatible with humans because they completely lack the ability to move on or change, so that's A Conflict in a world filled with humans that he can't avoid.
