+1 samurai

[towerofbabel]

Hi guys! New meat here. My name's Shika, and I'll be your token newbie until somebody else new comes after me, in which case they inherit my title. I can be contacted for plotting and/or random stuff over plurk at deerleisure, or AIM at OTAShika.

As for who I'm bringing in? Well, the answer to that is Yagyuu Kyuubei from Gintama, and she's going to be staying at #1492. She's, uh, not quite as crazy as the others from her cast, other than the fact she has no weirdness censor and sees their antics as completely normal. And may take things too literally. She doesn't have much of a sense of humor, though.

Bascially, she's the heir to the famous (celebrity) clan of samurai and official shogunate sword instructors, she was raised as a boy because of it, and will probably get mistaken for a guy a lot. She's coming from a very recent canon point (after Kagura's stint as an idol, but before Kagura's funeral.)

Hm, what else? Oh- she's based on the very famous Japanese historical figure Yagyuu Juubei and wears an eye-patch like he did, so feel free to make the connection if your character is savvy to samurai lore and junk.

I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD? /click post

KYUUUUBS. we have such a beautiful cast going now, I'm so excited. :'D

[towerofbabel]

YES this makes me excited too


Seeing as how I am now a part of it.

[sarashi]

whoa what a cool lookin' dude

[towerofbabel]

i know right

this town will have the manliest of men

[thirdbeauty]

Oh wow, I know nothing about this canon or this character, but I'd love having more masculine girls to play Natsuru off of! Especially ones that can actually be mistaken for boys, since Natsuru is easily flustered around girls and just finds guys easier to understand and deal with. For obvious reasons, if you know anything about the character...

[towerofbabel]

WELL, Kyuubei can very easily be mistaken for a guy. (A really, really short guy, mind you, but still.) SO THERE WE GO!

(Also, yes, I've read at least some of Kampfer. :3c )

[thirdbeauty]

Oh my god, you're like... the second or third person I know in this game who's read some of it. And at least one of them only started after I mentioned it. xD

And Natsuru's a really, really tall girl, by Japanese standards! So I'm loving the potential here already~ ♥

[patsuan]

finally this place will have some class! a real celebrity!!

[towerofbabel]

idk if it's enough class to make up for Gintoki and Kagura though.

[patsuan]

not even beyonce can make up for those two.

[towerofbabel]

don't underestimate Beyonce

she can do it

[merespark]

llama del rey couldn't do it but maybe beyonce... i'm afraid to get my hopes up

[towerofbabel]

so all we need to do

is find somebody to app beyonce

[merespark]

obama made his way to a manga i'm sure there's a beyonce out there somewhere too...

[pachintoki]
