+1 vintage anime protagonist

WHAT'S UP, EVERYONE


I nearly used this as the opening gif. You're welcome.

Hi, I'm Krystal, and I'm coming back after the timeskip with cooler hair to bring you the hero of the series Tite Kubo wrote instead of designing a fashion line. Ichigo Kurosaki is a punk kid with a bad attitude who will probably fight you or befriend you (or both) and who solves all his problems by getting stabbed. No, seriously. Bleach means never having to say you're kidding.

For those of you who have stuck with his series through literally fifteen years' worth of material, I'm taking him from right before the Fullbring arc. Basically what this means is that Ichigo's getting thrown into a horror game with NO POWERS. ♥ He's been pretending he's not deeply sad about this for a year and a half now, but there's a nuclear reactor's worth of manpain lurking under the surface, so I hope Sorrow appreciates that.

Anyway, I'm super excited to be here. I'm looking forward to him making friends and enemies and frienemies and learning to solve problems without godlike ghostbusting protag superpowers. Feel free to friend me on plurk, it's the easiest way to get in touch with me and where I do a lot of game plotting. Expect lots of yelling about anime that was big in the mid-2000s, lots of keyboardsmash about stuff that's happening IRL, and all the selfies I don't manage to talk myself out of posting.

Uh, I guess that's it? App is here, permisisons post is here, and I promise I'll make sure it's OK with you OOC before Ichigo punches your character or anything.

...i apologize for him in advance.

WITH THE MOON AND THE BLACK HEARTS AND EVERYTHING

IT'S WHAT AN EVANESCENCE SONG WOULD LOOK LIKE

[verinumeri]

THAT........ THAT REALLY TAKES ME BACK...............

it is indeed what an evanescence song would look like.

ANYWAY HI I'M SO HAPPY YOU'RE HERE

EVEN IF I'VE GOT LIKE.........THIS GUY AND NOT ICHIGO'S NERD OF CHOICE

i know you miss him ichigo do you know how i know

because i know

[liketeenspirit]

you can trust me to always bring the 2000s, always

ANYWAY, I LOVE HERMANN TOO AND I'M HYPE FOR THEM TO HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CHILL AT ONE ANOTHER, PUTTING THEM IN THE SAME ROOM IS A RECIPE FOR DISASTER AND IT'S GOING TO BE HYSTERICAL

and oh my god shut up just because ishida's his favorite nerd doesn't mean he can't live without him, okay, it's fine

those panels are pretty damning though

"Nuh uh, I don't care, YOU care" --Ichigo Kurosaki, every damn day

[torrefied]

no




get out

[torrefied]

I'M KIDDING KRYSTAL <3 welcome to the murdercave, i'm hype for all the shenans!!

[liketeenspirit]

TOO BAD, the mods let me in and now you're never getting rid of me

it's like feeding a stray cat

[truthvalue]

feeding cats, you say

[liketeenspirit]

are you gonna use my friendship to level up your protag powers

is that why you hang out with me

[truthvalue]

maybe

i mean

uh

nah, protags gotta stick together, right

[solvethepuzzle]

Sorrow is going to be very appreciative, I think.

Anyhow, you know who I am, and who this tiny jerk is, and I am so looking forward to watching Ichigo fumble around and pretend not to be sad.

[liketeenspirit]

I hope you know I'm really, really invested in giving Near a stupid nickname. Give him half the chance, and Ichigo will call him nothing but Pajama-Socks forever.

[solvethepuzzle]

Near deserves a stupid nickname. (Though if Ichigo meets him only outside of the house for a while, calling him Pajama-Socks will be hard because he wears a stupidly oversized coat with a high collar that covers the bottom half of his face. And. You know. Shoes.)

[liketeenspirit]

We'll just have to find a way around that, then. I believe in us. Or Ichigo will just make up a different stupid nickname. Either way, you can't escape it, Near. It's gonna happen.

[solvethepuzzle]

Irritating, but better than knowing and using his real name, so he'll deal if he has to.

[torrefied]

DONT PUNCH NEAR OK

[liketeenspirit]

OH MY GOD, CALM YOUR TITS, HE'S NOT GONNA PUNCH NEAR

...AND EVEN IF HE DID IT WOULDN'T BE A SERIOUS PUNCH, IT'S PAINFULLY OBVIOUS THAT NEAR IS A BAG OF BIRD BONES WRAPPED UP IN MARSHMALLOW FLUFF AND ATTITUDE AND NEAR WOULD PROBABLY BREAK

....AND NEAR WOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING TO TOTALLY DESERVE IT

[torrefied]

lol at ichigo telling someone to calm their tits

lol forever

[solvethepuzzle]

I love how Near's best defense against getting beat up is that he's so pathetic that it's too easy or seems excessively mean to hit him too hard because he'll break.

Shounen protagonists............ /chinhands

I have never read Bleach but I stuck through Naruto so! Pain and overly long canons, man. :| I am excited to see Ichigo in this setting, especially with that canon point! <3 It sounds like a fun time for disasters tbh.

I'm Nico, and I play this veritable disaster of an OC here! I'm windlicht at plurk, so feel free to be suitably terrified of me etc.

[liketeenspirit]

Hi! I READ UP ON YOUR OC REAL QUICK and I like the look of her. :D Super props for making it to the end of Naruto. I couldn't, I gave up around the timeskip back in....2007? 06-07? Anyway, I didn't make it, but I definitely read up on how it ended and was pleased to hear that a solid 75% of my ships became canon. As for Bleach, reading it is an intensely personal choice, like climbing Mount Everest or doing Crossfit, so I can't in good conscience advise you one way or the other. Depowered-and-alone!Ichigo is probably as easy for crosscanons to RP with as he gets, though, so! :D I ALWAYS CHOOSE MY CANON POINTS FOR MAXIMUM PAIN, I ADMIT IT. I think, "when does this character need friends the absolute most?" and pull them from there.

/adds!

[dedikated]

|D;'

I stopped... around the fourth shinobi war or whatever for ages and then people went "it's finally ending!" so I went and caught up. I'm glad your ships got canonised! None of mine did but they were all Akatsuki gay and JiraOro so I mean...

/s h r u g

I can get the rants from the husband so it will be like I know all the stupid without any of the commitment. Winwin. I am defs excite to see him around - powered characters without their powers is a lot of fun to see develop tbh. :3 I will be stealing CR with him soon enough I am sure!

[liketeenspirit]

Haha, yeah, it's hard shipping gay shit in shounen manga because you know that's never gonna be a thing, but back in high school I was all about that NaruHina life. now if only Ino and Sakura had done the obvious thing and gotten married...

OH GOOD, I'M SURE YOUR HUSBAND HAS A LOT TO SAY. /SHAKES FIST AT SKY, KUBOOOO

And yes please steal CR with him! I'm eyeing the clinic, actually, since Ichigo's family runs one and he's been helping out there since he was real small. ♥ We'll see!

[dedikated]

Yessss very true. IKR Sakura deserved better tbh although SaiIno is kind of cute I cannot lie. Solution? Threesome

He does. We have bitch offs about who had it worse with stupid shounen decisions. So far there's no winner.

O: excellent! I was thinking of throwing up a monthly catchall for things which would probably consist of some clinic starters because Kate has no life so that could defs be a thing.

[fortunefavored]

HELLO KRYSTAL WELCOME TO THE MURDERCAVE I'M NIKKI and I have a continual soft spot in my heart for Ichigo so YOU WILL BE DEFINITELY GETTING THIS NERD THROWN AT U. Apparently today is also my day to abuse capslock. anyway, I'm very excited you're here!!!!!!

[liketeenspirit]

GOOD, I WANT CR WITH NEWT REAL BAD. I cannot predict what will happen when the two of them are put in the same room, but I know I want it. 8D I'M GLAD YOU'RE FOND OF HIM, he's a good dude to have a soft spot for. I personally can't seem to go more than three years without putting him in a game again, so I can personally vouch for how Ichigo feelings, hilariously, never freaking die.

I'M GLAD WE'RE FINALLY PLURK FRIENDS, I SAW YOU IN JULES' PLURKS AND ALSO READ SOME OF YOUR GAME THREADS AND I'M SO GLAD THIS IS FINALLY HAPPENING
