+1 slightly wimpy pitcher

[sidewind]

HI HELLO THERE

I'm Gideon and I am here to bring you Norifumi Kawakami (most people just call him Nori, though). He's from Daiya no Ace/Ace of Diamond/etc. and he's one of Seidou's pitchers; usually the one who closes the games after the other pitchers burn themselves out. He's a little bit anxious and has some noticeable self-esteem issues but he's a ~never give up~ type all the same!! Also not sure how relevant it is but he's a child in house 1444 :D

I'm 100% new to dwrp so I feel like a confused grandpa but I'm really looking forward to getting into this!!

i know i've said it like ten times but tbh i'm not sure i can say it enough, so!

i'm glad you're here and i look forward to playing with you in-game. 8)

[sidewind]

I'M RRRREADY paws at gently

[pickoffs]

i'm gonna hop on your ic intro so fast... (or i can inbox nori with "can the real norifumi kawakami please stand up" but eh i can wait for intro log if you want!!)

[sidewind]

omg. I MEAN... if you wanna hit him up that's fine lmao all interactions with him will probably be a lot like the tdm stuff for a little while anyway, poor baby

[basesteal]

hellooooo *w* So excite to see Noriiiii

[sidewind]

yaaaaaaaay good I'm excited to play with you :D

[basesteal]

8D yeye! i enjoyed what we had in the tdm, mochi will def drag nori to arcades and games more!

[sidewind]

omg, please, I think nori could use that a lot lmao

[basesteal]

most excellent, please look forward to mochi texting him a lot

[ryosan]

Nice to finally meet you, Gideon! Just added you on plurk, but I'm Hayley, and I'm thrilled to see another pitcher around!!

Also... embarrassing confession (making the best first impressions over here), but when I read your third person sample I was almost almost brought to tears. My poor lil heart suffers for Nori. Little chipmunk... squirrel... child

[sidewind]

hello there, nice to meet you too!!

also NO not embarrassing at all, if anything I am the one embarrassed BUT MOSTLY JUST FLATTERED... sweet chipmunk child is so near and dear to my heart so I'm really glad I can apparently do him some justice;;

[supportingrole]

CLIMBS ALL OVER I'M SO GLAD I'M SO EXCITED HELLO YES I AM MY EMOTE YOU KNOW THE ONE

[sidewind]

WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME EVERYTHING IS YOUR FAULLLLLLLT I LOVE YOU

[supportingrole]

[infield]

GIDEOOONNNNNN UR HERE

[sidewind]

I HAV ARRIVE...

[splasher]

oh no... never give up type... cute!!
hello gideon i'm kira i'm excited for this baseball cast influx, about time tbh
i play makoto from free!,,

[sidewind]

yaaay hi it's nice to meet you!! I'm super excited (and nervous) to be here and EVERYBODY IS SO NICE???
also omg, makoto, my son, my boyfriend...

[splasher]

that's how we roll.. as we wait to attack
LMAO THE USUAL MAKOTO RESPONSE I SEE he can be everything you've ever wanted, with wonderful cr for nori

[sidewind]

LMAO oh no ok I'm just really super late to free (I marathoned the whole thing in two days like a month and a half ago) and got SO NINJAMANCED by makoto so I'm like "ohhh... ohhhhhhhhh" at everything mako

[splasher]

holy shit.. isn't makoto just heartwrenching in different ways? SHOUTS!!!! i'll be happy to make ur dreams come true... o h my god..

[sidewind]

FLAILS AT... p lease... I'm super extra bonus excited now... huuu I bet nori would get along really well with makoto though, he needs more not-jerks in his life

[splasher]

they can definitely work together on some of their self-esteem issues/not giving up about things, it'd be interesting i think

[staminaroll]

What do you mean burn themselves out, who even

YAY NORI I AM EXCITE ALSO YAY GIDEON MORE EXCITE

Since I can't remember if I actually mentioned it, I also play Izumida (bike anime) and Daichi (volley anime) and hopefully soon Sousuke (swimming anime), and I can't wait for ALL OF THEM? to have cr with Nori. Especially Daichi but I always say especially Daichi.

I'm so glad you're here!!

[sidewind]

oh I don't know definitely not furuya

YEAH I gathered from plurk also I saw your sousuke in the tdm so!!! the only one of these I'm not familiar with is bike anime 8D but I'm looking forward to playing with all your dudes :DDD

[abu]

Oooh, really? You might want to consider it if you have the time (and are ok with a little unexpected body horror type stuff). A lot of the cast would make beautiful pin ups...

[sidewind]

I don't mind most body horror but I haven't really touched pedals because the art style doesn't jive well with my brain x__x that said there's like 2738627 characters that people have asked for pinups of that didn't make it into the set of 30 so I'll probably just do some sketches if you have a favorite character or two that you'd like to see ( -w-)a

[abu]

Or I could always do the decent thing and commission you ;D unless you're brutally sick of pin ups which I would also understand but a commission to go with the book when it's ready...?

[sidewind]

it's not so much that I'm sick of them and more that I'm just creatively bankrupt after doing so many 8D; they're really a lot of fun though so if I can come up with more poses I'm definitely down for commissioned pinups too, lmao... I already have to do two more as exclusives for the book so I don't mind doing another one to go with it for you :>

just let me draw pinups for everyone these are my friendship overtures

[abu]

I would never mind an additional one, psh. Oh no save me, I'm drowning in sport boy pin ups, tell my cr I loved them. I bet I could offer suggestions for the pose, too >.>

just let me throw money at you for your talents, these are myyyy friendship overtures

[sidewind]

ouuu well, hit me up on plurk or something sometime so I can get it on the to-do list ;) once I get the coach pinups out of the way I'll be in the free and clear to investigate printing and take on commissions again anyway so!!

[slowpitch]

Hello Gideon! Welcome to the game /o/

I'm Mel, and I'm here with this fellow pitcher from the other baseball show (who I hope gets along well with Nori!!) as well as the shitty half of your fella's dad duo (Birthday, who I apologize for in advance) and Alluka Zoldyck from Hunter x Hunter.

I hope you have fun here, and I'm 1000% looking forward to getting to play with you!

[sidewind]

OHH hi, I have been told that there are some similarities between nori and mihashi so I'm looking forward to it O:

but also oh my god RIP nori, he can handle a lot but everything is gonna be so much at first

I'm looking forward to playing with you too!!! /o/

[slowpitch]

I'm only sort of familiar with Daiya, but looking at your app, it does seem like they have a few very similar personality traits (the smallest self-esteem you can imagine, very deticated, not a powerhouse player), and they're both control pitchers! So that's rad /o/

Sorry about the lousy house assignment. Birthday would at least play catch or something like that with him if he asked, but only if he can stuck some kind of stupid wager or rule on it to make it 'more interesting'. Good luck, Nori...

[doctorperspective]

Hihi Gideon! It's great to meet you! I'm Frika and I'm here with a few guys (Takanobu Aone from Haikyuu!!, Shoukichi Naruko from Yowapeda, and Ratio from Hamatora).

So I'll be playing the other half of your awful dad duo. Ratio will try very hard to be a good dad and not let Birthday get his way all the time. >=T But ... well, it probably won't work out too well. I hope Nori is up for a lot of cleaning~~~

[sidewind]

hello, it's nice to meet you too!! I'm very interested in learning more about Awful Dad Duo (even if nori will probably be less enthused lmao) and I'm really looking forward to writing with you!! I know zero things about hamatora so it'll be doublegood, hahaha

[doctorperspective]

Haaaa, well, Ratio and Birthday will give you... absolutely NO actual information about Hamatora, so tHAT'LL BE FUN.

idk if you have a Plurk or a skype or anything, but I'm freakanature06 on both if you'd like to add me. ~~

[sidewind]

just added you on plurk, I'm arthasmenethil there :D

[symphonise]

hi, gideon! welcome to hh and dwrp in general!

i'm ara, and i only started reading daiya, so i don't think i quite know who nori is yet, but i am very ready to find out!! i play nonon (kill la kill), chiyo (gekkan shoujo nozaki-kun), and manami (yowamushi pedal), and i look forward to playing with you!

[sidewind]

hi there, it's nice to meet you!! :D

nori actually shows up really early on in the manga (he's the one azuma is yelling at when eijun visits seidou!) but you don't get a name for him until later... and then he doesn't really do anything noteworthy until way later... he's a very good cinnamon roll though so I hope you like him ;o;

the only one of your characters I really know anything about is chiyo but I'm really looking forward to getting to see your others too and learn about them!! thank you for the warm welcome :>

[admiringly]

oh, no, if he's the one azuma was yelling at, nori needs all the love and appreciation because azuma was a pos (and i don't meant that in a fond or endearing way).

if nori is a cinnamon roll, i'm sure he and chiyo will get along just fine, if they get the chance to meet! chiyo will earnestly cheer him on bc if he's great at what he does, he's great at what he does!!

[fastballs4lyfe]

Eijun will be your senpai ho ho ho
