[OOC] This Ain't No Place for Animals (WitchHunter X Latino)

[X Fiendfyre X]

Here is the thread where our glorious story will play out.

Now, did you have any questions or concerns pertaining to my plot ideas?

[Latino]

As for the plot I actually like it already. So first, we get picked for an easy mission to take out a small fry that turns out to be a recruit for the new Witch so the Liuetenant overseeing the recruit attacks us after we kill the recruit. We somehow escape the Lieutenant to report back. Eventually we become enough of a nuisance that the Witch develops a personal vendetta against us. That seems to be the basics.

So the next thing we need to sort out is who are we? I will be playing the female Meister and you will be playing the male Weapon obviously but let's sqare away their characters here. I'll put my own down in detail later but I was also wondering what kind of weapon form you will have.

[X Fiendfyre X]

That's certainly the gist of it! Glad we've got that squared away. We'll be sure to address other things as the thoughts strike us, I'm sure.

I have a couple forms in mind, but I really think it's a matter of the meister's preference. Is there a specific weapon you could see your character using? It's certainly no fuss of mine to adhere to it.

[Latino]

What kind of weapon form did you have in mind? I would prefer a Katana but if you really have your heart set on something else then, by all means, tell me. Also I'm going to put down some basic information about my Meister in a bit.

Ueda, Michi

Appearance:


Personality: Not what one might call "lady-like", Michi is very much a tomboy and speaks her mind even if it might not be appropriate at the time. She is headstrong and tough, having grown up with three older brothers. She's a terrible student and would rather be outside playing sports or dispensing justice but this is only what people see on the outside.

Brief History: Michi is the youngest of four siblings and the only girl in the family. Her older brothers (From youngest to oldest: Rokuro, Kichiro, and Juro) are all Meisters and generally well known. Her father (Hideaki) is also widely known as a skilled Meister and even taught at the DWMA for a time, although he is now retired and works with his wife at their family restaurant. Her mother (Nana) cooks for the family restaurant close to the academy. While the first floor is their restaurant the second floor is their home where Michi grew up. Prior to enrolling at the academy Michi also helped out in the family business as a waitress and played football (or soccer if you prefer) in a youth league.

Wonderful wonderful. Yes, a katana was actually one of the forms I had in mind. A very simple yet elegant weapon.

I work well into the evening today, so it may be a while until you get my character sheet. It does look as if they're going to be complete opposites, though. :-D

Oliver Edward Selwyn



Background: Oliver is one of the few international students of the Academy, hailing from the English countryside, particularly Lincolnshire. His younger years were somewhat uninteresting, as his transformations never came to be an issue in a rural schoolhouse setting. In fact, his family knew next to nothing of the Academy before the European regional Death Scythe came to call. Contrary to most, Oliver felt no pull to leave his home and head to the Academy. He had grown quite accustomed to his quiet, unassuming lifestyle. Without very much going on, there never seemed to be any cause to converse with very many people. It had turned him into a somewhat reclusive, bookish type with no real interest in reality or its offerings.

His parents and older sister convinced him, however. Being a weapon was an incredibly rare gift, and it would've been foolish for him not to learn more about it and use it for a higher purpose. Above all, Oliver craved knowledge, and in the end, the Academy's emissary appealed to that side of him. The Academy's library was said to be a massive collection of tomes on the history of Demon Weapons, Kishin, Witches, and the like. Those weren't the kind of things Oliver could experience while cooped up in his English countryside home.

In his short time at Death City, Oliver has made a few friends, though none as close as his current meister. Still, his reclusive, studious lifestyle tends to get the better of him. His ability to make small-talk or start conversations is somewhat lacking, but woe betide the person who wishes to engage him in a battle of wits. He holds himself to an incredibly high standard when it comes to his lessons and his marks. Test his intelligence, and you won't be able to shut him up.

Weapon Form

I saw this one and decided that it went rather well with Oliver. He's been rather partial to the colour blue all his life, and it certainly isn't too flashy.

[Latino]

I think the only thing we need to work out now is where they live. They can be living on their own or in Michi's parent's home since it's close to the academy. Either way Michi wouldn't mind. In the case of Michi's home Oliver could have one of the rooms that used to belong to her older brothers.

Edit: Also I forgot to mention that her mother (Nana) is her father's (Hideaki) weapon. Nana's weapon form is a spear.

[X Fiendfyre X]

I think it makes more sense for Oliver to have taken one of her brother's older rooms. It's right next to the Academy, so the location is convenient for them. There wouldn't really be a point for them to live on their own with such a ready option available. Besides, being around more people would do well to bring him further out of his shell. He's a foreigner, far from home. Being able to live in a family setting would be quite advantageous for his well-being.

If you agree with that, I can't think of anything else that needs to be covered before we start.

[Latino]

Sounds good to me. Just a note: the bedrooms for all of the children will be on one hallway which connects to the living room Michi's room and Oliver's room will be the furthest down the hall. On the other side is the master bedroom, the upstairs bathroom/laundry room, a storage closet, and the stair well leading down into the restaurant. On the ground floor will only be the kitchen, a downstairs toilet for customers, and the dining area taking up most of the ground floor.

Other than that you can start an intro post whenever you are ready.
