My Self-Summary

A self-summary, huh? Alright.

Hey there! Rokurou Rangetsu, at your service. Twenty-two, swordsman, daemon, yaksha. I spend most of my time... or spent, I should say, with the Lord of Calamity back in the Holy Empire. Here, I've been spending my time in the "gym" and keeping up on my training. Most of what can be found in this resort is new to me.

Let's see... I had a five hundred year prison sentence but broke out after only three years, so I'm not doing that anymore. I like fishing, playing games, and swordsmanship. While I am no longer part of my clan, I still uphold my family's code of paying my debts and offering a hand to those in need.

Nothing I love more than a good drink except for swords. If you also like swords, you should reach out. Let's set up a time to spar. The practice swords in the gym are good enough for a bout.

My Future Plans

I plan to beat this game so I can return to Midgand. I still owe a companion a debt that I intend to pay and I have my own personal goal. I can't stay checked in here forever. If you feel the same way, reach out.

I plan to keep up on my training and learn the terrain of this resort. I'd like to meet some likeminded people who want to fight. While I prefer swords, you can fight however you want. Variety keeps a swordsman sharp.

Otherwise, I'm just looking to meet people. I don't mind being alone but prefer the company of others.

My Talents

Swordsmanship.

I've practiced my family's style since I was very young. I continue to practice it to this day despite it being as natural as breathing to me now. My clan specialized in either one long sword or two short. I chose to practice the latter and am comfortable using both hands. I've been working on expanding out from this... but I won't go into detail on that here.

I don't know what else. All I'm good for is cutting.

Favorite Books, Movies, Music, and Food

I don't read much. I've studied scrolls and books on battle tactics and training forms, if those count. I don't typically read for pleasure. I prefer more active kinds of entertainment. It's okay if you like books, though. You can tell me about them since I won't read them.

I don't know much about movies. Someone has offered to show me, so I'll come back to this one. As for music, I've always liked traditional music. The sound of the drums and flute are particularly nice. And who doesn't like a lovely singing voice?

I prefer drinks over snacks but if I have to pick a food: Candied Sweet Potatoes. I could eat buckets of those.

My Ideal Partner

I've never really thought about this before...

Someone strong. If you can kill me, that's even better.

Someone who will challenge me. Not that I dislike harmony! I've always been drawn to those that are different from me, or think differently. I like a challenge in general so I guess this isn't any different.

Someone who understands my path and won't try to change my mind. Someone... with their own path. Independence. Someone who understands the beauty of our paths crossing and then diverging once more. Perhaps they'll cross again.

Someone with a sense of responsibility and a work ethic. Or, at the very least, someone who doesn't mind mine. I have a goal and I won't stop until I reach it.

It's a bonus if you like to drink and if you also love swords.

It doesn't matter what you look like.

@dragonlore, ✘

[gurge]

[ but— ]

...I haven't trained with a sword for a while.
I'm not opposed. Problem is finding one.

[swordhardy]

How do you feel about wooden swords? Not as good as the real thing but they do have them in the gym.

[gurge]

Mm, well... I'd probably have to imbue it with curse energy to keep it from breaking.

Are you sure you want to fight me? Daemon, yaksha... We have similar words.
I'm a sorcerer. Sometimes called an exorcist.

[swordhardy]

Oho, an exorcist. Are you a good one?

[gurge]

Yes.

[swordhardy]

Then why not? It’ll be fun.

[gurge]

I'd like a few answers, first.
How much of you is curse and how much is man?

[swordhardy]

Oh, uh... maybe half and half? I don't really know.

[gurge]

Interesting. Yet your cognizance and commitment are still in tact...
Is this normal, for your world?

[swordhardy]

Not particularly. It isn't common for humans to keep their reason when they become daemons, but it isn't unheard of either.

Plenty of them are even kids that can't do anything but hide when they're attacked. It's not their fault. Exorcists where I'm from don't tend to care about that, though.

[gurge]

So your daemons are created by attacks...
From what?

[swordhardy]

Oh, no. Kids that turn into daemons are killed by exorcists. That's what I meant. Even ones who still retain their reason.

Humans become daemons from ... well, that's from the darkness in someone's heart, isn't it?

[gurge]

I don't know. That's why I asked you.
Why is there so much darkness in the hearts of these children?

[ they're just children... children shouldn't have suffered so much they've become that dark... ]

[ but then, how much terror does being a Sorcerer sew into young bodies? being a Window, powerless to do anything about it? ]

[ a Star Plasma Vessel, ceased to exist or shot dead at 14? ]

un: matoba

[worldbent]

[Ugh reading parts of this profile disgusts him, but]

Don't be so hard on yourself. You're also good for a laugh.

[swordhardy]

Wow, a compliment from the Matoba exorcist. Now my life is complete.

[worldbent]

Has anyone ever told you that you are far too honest?

[swordhardy]

No. Why?

[worldbent]

Because maybe if they had, you would stop making such an easy, pitiful target of yourself.

Is the "Lord of Calamity" your master?

[swordhardy]

How am I a target? For saying what I like? You should try it sometime.

No, she’s someone I owe a debt. I’m interested in seeing where she ends up, too.

[worldbent]

Perhaps you'll come to understand someday. And you already know what I like.

Oh? An ayakashi woman? I see. That explains everything.

[swordhardy]

..... Unfortunately, I do.

Another daemon, same as me. Not same same, she's a therion. Wait, what does that explain?

[worldbent]

How funny. You haven't seemed to find it so unfortunate in the moment.

Your creature comfort under the heel of a woman.

[swordhardy]

Depends on which "like" we're talking about. Can't say I liked getting burned.

What? Where are you getting that from? You've never even seen me with a woman.

[worldbent]

You're still bitter about that? That one wasn't even on purpose.

Although it could be.

Word gets around, Rangetsu-san. In the back of a lounge, hm? Not that I'm expecting much better from you.

[Confidently plausible lies™, they never fail him.]

[swordhardy]

I won't be bitter when the mark's gone. I think that's fair.

What, stalking me? You like me that much? Guess I can't blame you.
