Watashi-wa Kawaii Desu Ka? A Weeb RP [OOC,Anime, HIATUS #2]]

[Zjaum]

All right, I added the roster to the OP. Background coming soon.

You seem to be short one rapidly aging time stopper.

[Kyoki Chudoku]

Hi, folks.

I ran an idea for a dormitory passed Zjaum, our OP, and he said it was okay, but he had another idea for the dorm where Kiyoshi would be living. That said, Zjaum suggested that it could be a dorm close by.

Here's a brief notion...

The Kyōki Dormitory.

Tensai Josei stood with the other students that were moving into the new dormitory. Many of the older dorms had been destroyed by an upperclassman's accelerated-biological-mutation-by-radiologically-targeted-genes experiment on what was once a gecko. So, now, the students were gathered for orientation.

The Faculty Dorm Mistress, Mrs. Baishunpu imparted to the students that there was absolutely no truth to the rumors that their dorm had been built on the site of the laboratory of a mad scientist whose spirit roamed the grounds looking for unwitting victims to experiment on with friends from a demonic coven. It was an old tale that had been fabricated at a drunken party of mad scientists and demon worshippers and there wasn't a shred of truth to that story at all. So, don't worry about it.

This denial greatly set Josei's mind at ease.

Anyone interested in having their character in the Insanity Dorm?

Kyōki. Kyōki. Insanity indeed. Well, considering my nation name, I feel obligated to take part in such a dormitory. The IC justification for such, is of course, less arbitrary. I mean, how could an aspiring goddess pass up the opportunity to uncover a possible undead mad scientist minion?

Full disclosure: I don’t actually really know the person you’re referencing there. Will be a lot of fun though. And yeah you caught me on the pun.

Haruhi Suzumiya, the protagonist from "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya," is a high school girl who sets out to gain massive power through unconventional means, and she creates a high school club to this end.

The twist is that she already had reality-bending powers, and that the students in the club had already known about them, and in fact joined the club to stop her. Your character does not seem to possess said reality-warping powers.

Ah, quite fascinating. Yeah Marisu is rather less capable of actually enacting her proclamations of divinity and power.

Tag, may throw up an app tonight but it'll probably be tomorrow.

[Zjaum]

All right, I believe I finished Kiyoshi's background, incorporating (I think/hope) everyone important and involved in his childhood in less than 400 words, as well as giving him the credentials of an anime harem protagonist. Please let me know if you think something is lacking or should be embellished.

Please let me know if you think something is lacking or should be embellished.

Just to forewarn you, the moment Kiyoshi refers to himself as "ore-san" or acts like a male himedere, he's going to get his shit rocked harder than the dinosaurs. As the designated muscle-girl, it is my job to be the buxom bouncer that always gets protag-kun into interesting positions. As per the Harem Anime Survival Video, he'll have increasingly physical (both in contact and painful) hijinks involving multiple charming women. Being the most physically active (arguably) of the group, him being a god at martial arts directly contradicts his vulnerability as a character, as any and all conflicts with the girls will be resolved quickly. Isn't a harem protag supposed to be denser than a black hole?

Stimmte zu, mein Freund, but we have to incorporate Fusui Tenshi's backstory in somewhere. I removed the national and international parts of the tournament, but he did, according to canon, win "a tournament." Fortunately, the skills do not translate very easily to wrestling. Not to mention that if Ren entered the tournament, she'd probably win too.

I am, definitely.

Btw, do all girls go to the same dojo?

Thus does our degenerate haven of madness begin.

I have a post prepared but if anyone else wishes to be the victim of the earliest hijinks, be my guest to do so. ^{_{In other words I’m new to this format and afraid I’ll screw it up.}}

EDIT: I decided to just post what I have. If I do something wrong somewhere, just say so and I’ll go fix it.

[Polish Prussian Commonwealth]

pls don't tell me the characters have to be 100% jap, I have an idea for a half-polish exchange student who's also an excellent fencer

wait is this closed or no

[Jebslund]

I am not the OP. That said...

We have, in no particular order, a half-American Yakuza, a French Maid who cleans and nothing else, an English transfer student, an alien, an alternate universian, and probably a couple more foreigners I'm forgetting. You're fine as long as the signups ain't closed.

Background with Kiyoshi, if applicable: A classmate that Kiyoshi once knew back in middle school, before Nao had to move out of town. Nao moves back to where Kiyoshi is currently attending high school, where he remembers him.
Any additional information: If you're wondering how I got the image of this character, I created Nao myself with this.

This anime takes place at a university, so you'll have to edit your application.

I am not going to romance this character, and I am not changing Kiyoshi's backstory for this. But whatever. Make the edits first.

[Polish Prussian Commonwealth]

Character Name: Maria Lipka
Age (Must be 18+): 19
Archetype: No particular archtype-closest would be Ojou, due to the fact that she's polite and well-behaved. She isn't exactly rich, though-just upper middle class.
Theme Song: Hej, Sokoly!
Major/Minor: Physics/Organic Chemistry
Equipment: Wz. 34 Szabla, deactivated Beretta M9 pistol from her father, Bible.
Hobby: Historical European Martial Arts(Like fencing, but with more variety in weaponry.) Singing and piano-playing-for the former, Polish folk songs, for the latter, she plays...well, pretty much everything.
Blood Type (not important here; it's just a thing in Japan): O-
Background with Kiyoshi, if applicable: Actually probably doesn't have a background with Kiyoshi. Her father was a Polish army officer who met his mother on furlough. After a complicated series of events, and after he finished his term of service, they married and moved back to Poland, settling down in Szczecin. Only way I could see it happening would be if said woman was part of Kiyoshi's family, and I don't think you want to change his past...
Any additional information:
Decent singer and piano player. Devout Catholic. Speaks Jap, English, Latin, Polish. Extremely polite and mild-mannered, but if you manage to set her off...well, the pistol isn't the only thing she inherited from her father.
Ironically(considering the premise of this RP), hates anime.

Alright, hang on.
Edits have been made. Though Nao can act as the friend, who can give Kiyoshi advice.

Well, in progress.

[Las Palmeras]

a French Maid who cleans and nothing else

She can and will make all hell break loose in the dorms, and in delivering food, and in making puddles and other hazards which the MC may or may not slip on. As keeper of the dorms she has access to the trashiest and most embarrassing and intimate items and clothing...she is an instigator of doom.

Whether this will be malice or genuine incompetence however I'm not sure yet.

[Zjaum]

This is really clever!

I'd rather you not use the word "clever." That would imply that this is anything above trash-tier quality.

[Kyoki Chudoku]

Hey, nothing better than trash for quick stress relief. Complex and emotional novel pages on difficult situations are fun and all, but they get exhausting quickly. Random hijinks where everything just goes wrong and builds into a snowball of misunderstandings and madness, that’s great for some fun.

Maybe I'll make a RP about Nationstates.

Nationstates, the RP, of the website, you're RP'ing on.

How meta.

That would indeed be quite meta.

Aaaaand I just realised I probably have been using the wrong name to refer to a certain someone this whole time. Whoops. My excuse if that is the case is the general disregard of kamideres towards the wishes and titles of others.

[The Frozen Forest]

Character Name: Ichijou Yukari
Age (Must be 18+): 19
Archetype: Hajidere
Theme Song: Huniepop
Major/Minor: Biology / Animal Science
Equipment: Biology Course Books, Cell Phone, Camera, Romantic Manga, Diary, Binoculars
Hobby: Birdwatching
Blood Type: AB-
Background with Kiyoshi, if applicable: No real personal history, they spoke only once but it left a profound impact on her. She accidentally bumped into him in the hallway while on the way to her first class and was so flustered that one of her friends, Kawano Sachiko had to take her to the nurse. For whatever reason seeing Kiyoshi causes her stomach to knot and her heart to race, has resulted in her looking for excuses to run into him in school.
Any additional information: No

[Wolfenium]

This is trash, and so am I. :3

Character Name: Reiko Kikkawa (Japanese: 吉川 玲子, Kikkawa Reiko)
Age (Must be 18+): 19
Archetype: Stern, stubborn, but with a soft side.
Theme Song: The Liberation Of Gracemeria - Ace Combat 6 OST
Major/Minor: History
Equipment: HK417 rifle, P90 SMG, M1911A2 pistol, Goliath combat mech.
Hobby: Shooting at the range, reading history
Blood Type (not important here; it's just a thing in Japan): AB-
Background with Kiyoshi, if applicable: A time traveller and mecha combat pilot from the future, Reiko Kikkawa's one and only mission is to protect Kiyoshi from assassins sent by an interstellar empire invading Earth in her time, who threaten to rewrite history by erasing humanity's greatest hero in the war and Kiyoshi's descendant, Mamoru Fujita. To that end, she must also identify his future wife, a task that's proving more different with the growing bevy of women clustering around him. However, questions soon arose over whether her interference might inadvertently rewrite history herself, as she questioned her place in Kiyoshi's life. Soon, she would have to confront the possibility that the one destined for him could be herself.

At least, that's what the suffering writer who designed her character was forced to write.

Any additional information:

An underpaid wage slave and aspiring writer in Japan's unforgiving workplace, Kimiko Himegawa (Japanese: 姫川 君子 Himegawa Kimiko) had always wanted to become an accomplished author of a serious fictional novel. Inspired by classics such as Legends of the Galactic Heroes, she had always preferred delving into complex topics such as politics, military conflict, and race. To her dismay, the extreme misogynistic environment she was born and raised into became the stuff of legend, where her drafts were often rejected for such things as 'too complex' and 'lack of romance'. Ultimately, unable to make ends meet, she joined the animation studio as a character and scriptwriter, forced to endure the disgrace of writing trashy anime plots for under-budgeted shows, with her own, more well-thought out plots often tossed out for the same reasons as her novel drafts.

Ultimately, cracking under pressure to write what she genuinely deems to be an irredeemably lousy anime (私は可愛いですか？), she decided to go all out to write a veiled plea for help for the squalid conditions of the studio. To that end, she turned Reiko into an author avatar, drawing from her own background to make up her past. Even the character's name was taken directly from her mother's maiden name, and her own appearance was used as a reference. Uninterested in salvaging the show or forcing her character to play along with the harem, she instead sought to save herself with an interesting and genuinely complex character, filling the gaps in her official backstory with tales of a devastating, multifaceted conflict from her rejected novel ideas. Perhaps, part of her did want the show to succeed. Or perhaps, sensing the impending collapse of the studio, she hoped that a better employer would pick her up and allow her to use her talents to the fullest.
