I'm Chris! And this jerk with his super fly bucket hat is Urahara Kisuke from BLEACH (coming in fresh from the Deicide arc where everything is bittersweet and not on fire). He is just... a humble, polite, eccentric, cat-loving shopkeeper who is also the single-most brilliant individual in his canon. And if that weren't enough, he's scary in ways that aren't just all about his brain. He's pretty extra, even if he isn't really all that concerned with being powerful and more concerned with being smart and understanding everything around him- it just makes the whole "kind but sure as hell not nice" aspect of his personality stand out.

ON THE PLUS SIDE, at the moment, he's pretty content with being back on square one with everyone here, so be prepared for a slow reveal of just how scary he can be (you know after you either write him off as a moron or decide he's a total sweetheart against all personal logic), so he can get away with doing as little as possible that isn't, you know, science and understanding what ALASTAIR really is. LOOK IT'S NOT LIKE HE DOESN'T APPRECIATE THE WORK YOU'RE DOING, GUYS. He just... has some control issues and some problems with people with god complexes he had to beat into submission that are still a little raw right now.

I'm sure this will go well for him. And everyone else.

Here's pretty much all the things you need to know about him (nooot spoiler friendly), including his terrifying list of abilities and skills hiding underneath that nerdy dorky facade. FOR NOW, HE'S HERE TO DO A SCIENCE. And be an awesome squidge dad, because he's adorable with smol children. Even water baby smol children.

ANY QUESTIONS, CONCERNS, FUTURE PLOTTING, COME AT ME. You can find me at this journal or you can add me on plurk at quasigina. I'm trying to get a feel for what I should do first in this game, so hang in there with me, friends.

[predomination]

Do you really need to give aizen something else to fuse with. the only redeeming factor would be james spader aizen.

[hyperverbose]

but who is his secretary

[predomination]

RUN MOMO RUN

[hyperverbose]

disturbing visuals

[predomination]

hougyokultron was a terrible thing to invoke.

[hyperverbose]

we can't undo our mistakes we just have to learn to fucking take them down: a tony stark and urahara story

[predomination]

how in the world do they have so much in common. it's sp gross. they're gross. i'm having feelings before i am even allowed to have feelings.

[hyperverbose]

this cr is going to murder me

[webdesigned]

hey there chris!

I'm katy and I've got two peeps here, Graham from OUAT and Peter Parker here! I don't know this character... or this series... but I'm really bad at watching shows that aren't on repeat on the food network.

welcome to the game! :)

[predomination]

HIII it's okay. i...only recently got into this series a few months ago because of Arden and cue me reading 500 chapters in like... three weeks. WHOOPS. (think of Urahara like Gold if Gold were, uh... a legitimately nice guy but who also wouldn't hesitate to manipulate you for the greater good. so, uh, Gold as a well-written chaotic good LIKE HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN POST SEASON THREE... i mean what)

BUT YAY PETER. AND GRAHAM. I know both of those guys and I love them.

[webdesigned]

OH DANG. well it must have been really amazing, then!! I can respect a chaotic good, tbh. You are dang right they missed the boat wrt to Gold tho, lmao. my canon is such ... a mess...

BUT YAY THANK YOU and I am looking forward to things :)

[predomination]

i played gold for years and years until canon finally made me unable to reconcile... how i wrote him with how they kept backsliding him, so i had to give it up. /stares at hands. but i love and miss graham so yaaas. wolfeh man.

[webdesigned]

Gold used to be a very compelling character in s1 and 2, though I didn't super love him. That said, he's nothing like what he used to be. they gave up on complexity seasons ago. Gold is now the expected Bad Guy, unless he's sidelined to be Powerful But Not Helpful. -_-

YUSS i miss him too. he has his memories here and his wolf bud also <:

[historiology]

Ah, Urahara. Damn, I gave up reading through Bleach at like chapter 200something forever ago but I did especially adore like the first couple arcs. Urahara was definitely a highlight, even from what I remember reading, tbh. Glad to have him!

aka hi Chris! I'm Caprica and I have two here - Sorey (this journal and History Nerd) is from Tales of Zestiria. He's the Shepherd - essentially, the burdened chosen one of his game, and can see and talk to seraphim - invisible elemental spirits of sorts that he can Dragonball Z fusion with (only this is called armatizing). And then there is Sakura Kinomoto from CLAMP's Cardcaptor Sakura manga series. She's the resident Magical Girl and hella versatile with her Sakura Cards in helping with these missions. I've taken her from the first chapter of the new Clear Card arc, so lmk if you don't want spoilers or something.

[predomination]

OMG SAKURA!!! CCS is one of my favorite manga from the days of old. I haven't gotten to read the new arc, but I don't mind spoilers at all.

Nice to meet you!!

[historiology]

She was too cute for me to resist. And now we are....almost a year from the game opening and I still have her here. Yup. It's a nostalgia trip, for sure. At the moment, she is just from the first chapter so there isn't anything too major there, really. It picks up right where the manga left off before, with her reuniting with Syaoran and all, so no major timeskip aside from his time in Hong Kong just prior.

[weatherscience]

ahhhh hello chris and welcome!! this is legit like stepping back to 2005 or something.... says the one who plays someone else from a jump series OOPS?? i stopped reading bleach around after the xcution arc started, but i loved it until then and urahara is def one of my faves, so! :> i really look forward to seeing him in the game and getting to tag him!

... also right, i should. probably do some introducing here. i'm celen, and i've got nami here from one piece, as well as stiles stilinski from teen wolf!

[predomination]

if you wanna know a secret, i literally just started reading BLEACH about... three months ago. finished everything past the xcution arc and now i'm just slow-reading the final arc. so... i'm about ten years too late to this party, but idc. it's a great party.

Nice to meet you! I am familiar with both those characters, even if I haven't... read/watched their canons, but I'd be happy to smoosh everyone together.

[weatherscience]

hey man, never any shame in getting late to a canon party, the only thing that matters is that you did and are having fun! c: i'm still here on the train of trying to get people to read one piece (THE BEST SERIES EVER negl) so i totally get it, don't worry!

nice to meet you too! and eyyyy that's a great plan, i look forward to this said smooshing!

[anti_altruisms]

CHRIS!!! Hi, this is RW. c: Not sure if you remember me, but we played in Siren's Pull together for a long time. (I played Jesus Lion, Xigbar, etc etc...)

Good to see you again! I hope you have lots of fun here!!

[predomination]

HOLY SNIKIES BLAST FROM THE PAST. I remember Aslan and his constantly confusing the Supernatural cast so very well. <33 AWESOME TO SEE YOU AGAIN. :D

[anti_altruisms]

YES HELLO THIS IS EXCITING!!!! 8D And yes, those were good times, ahuhuhu...

I play a grumpypants spirit now so I will be sure to toss him at Urahara when you get around to intro-ing <:

[predomination]

He is the champion at making grumpy people even more grumpy. I foresee beautiful things. also, y'know, spirit bros. /fistbump

[anti_altruisms]

Talk science/magic with him, all might be forgiven (maybe).......
