OUT OF CHARACTER

Backtagging: Yes please. I live all the way in Southeast Asia (GMT+8) so my schedule is different from most.

Threadhopping: Sure.

4th wall: No.

Crosscanon: Always and forever YES.

OOC Nos: Sexual abuse/rape, cannibalism, child abuse, domestic violence, animal abuse (hunting for necessity is fine), dental horror/mouth stuff (teeth are fine, everything else is not), removal of fingernails/toenails. I'm fine with these themes being mentioned or part of an event, just not RPing them out.

Others: Due to previous experiences, I don't RP with malleable or blank slate protagonists (e.g. FFXIV WoLs+Azems, Hoyoverse main characters, Dragon Age protagonists, Fire Emblem Avatars, etc.), or fandom OCs (TTRPGs are an exception), or interact with their players. The only exception are SMT protagonists.

IN CHARACTER

Warnings: Given my preferred canon points for Yuzuru, I play with a lot of spoilers for both SMTV vanilla (Canon of Creation) and SMTV Vengeance (Canon of Vengeance).

SMTV is quite mild compared to other mainline Shin Megami Tensei games, but it's still SMT. There's body horror, semi-explicit gore, existential crisis around every corner, existential horror, a post-apocalyptic world populated by demons with the expectation that one must survive in it, death of personality, and the realization that the god you pray to might not be as merciful as you were led to believe-- and is actually a demon. Yuzuru's own background has loss of family, terminal illness (not himself but an important family member), intense loneliness, safe spaces no longer being safe, betrayal and potential death at the hands of a friend, body horror and potential death of personality.

Physical affection: He's likely touchstarved but he'll only accept it from people he's close to, and tolerate it from people he's not that familiar with. He won't take it from strangers at all.

Flirting: He won't get it at first, but if/when he does, he'll be flustered.

Casual sex: Sadly, Yuzuru is too stubborn and shy to be gung-ho about it. Does he even have a libido? He's (mostly) a normal human guy, he just keeps it controlled and is potentially saving himself for someone. I'm still down for it happening, and I definitely won't be inflexible about this. He'll warm up to the idea eventually, but there's a danger of him catching feelings because he's dumb and a romantic at heart. 17+ only.

Romance: Sure, if they can get through his prickly, stubborn nature (or if that's their taste in guys). However, they'll have to deal with the knowledge that there's already someone on Yuzuru's mind, and may become a third person in that relationship eventually. Basically, they have to understand that Yuzuru and Koshimizu/Tsukuyomi are a package deal because they're two halves of the same person, even if Yuzuru and Koshimizu don't turn romantic themselves. 17+ only.

Fighting: Sure. He'll give as good as he gets... unless he doesn't have his demons or his partner, in which case he's a weenie.

Injuries: Sure. No permanent loss of body parts though.

Blood: Yuzuru might get a little squeamish, but he'll be fine.

Death: As long as it's not permanent.

Telepathy/mind reading abilities: Sure. It's kind boring in there though, most of Yuzuru's thoughts are about his sister Miyazu, what she needs, his other half Koshimizu, his training as a demon summoner, and some anxieties about performing properly as Tsukuyomi's Knowledge. I guess Yuzuru thinking about Koshimizu/Tsukuyomi can count as gossip?

Mind control: It depends what he'll do under the influence, let's talk it over first.

Opt-out: Don't want to RP with him, don't want spoilers, or just want to avoid having specific things mentioned in threads? Feel free to comment down below. All comments are screened for privacy.
