OOC Intro #12
Welcome to Apocalypse How!
You've made it to Gloucester, and you're probably in one piece! Mostly... This is our OOC Intro post, a place for new players to introduce themselves, get to know one another's characters and find see who and what and when might click.
This month, the mod-run event OOC post will be posted on 14th. Be sure to check the Calendar to see what else we have going on!

Can We Add You: yeah! you can also ask me for my discord specifically, i just change the user name enough that it's not reliable to leave it anywhere
Introduction: i'm lance, and i'm into horror and adventure video games and a couple of fantasy/sci-fi shows. the evil within, resident evil, silent hill, and the yakuza series (ESPECIALLY the judgment spin-offs) are some of my favourite long-running stuff. otherwise i like golden sun and silly mobage like project sekai and nu: carnival. as for shows, i'm catching up with westworld and waiting for the next season of wheel of time-- otherwise i'm into old comedies like arrested development or community and the like. i also do fansubs for japanese dramas. unrelated to fandom, i've been trying to specialise in python for databases and it's kicking my ass.
Availability: i'm in gmt +8 but work insane hours (5AM - 1:30PM) and can occasionally tag then. otherwise i'm most active on fridays and weekends, though fansubbing work or schoolwork might tear me away from things sometimes.
Extra: i didn't actually get into much tdm shenanigans, so as far as winging arrivals and such goes, i'm happy to do some assumed intros/CR there!
Age: 38
Does Character Have Powers/Cursed Items: yeah, he has powers, though he only uses them when he beats the shit out of people. it makes a coloured ~aura appear around the parts of his body that're affected by the heightened strength/speed/durability, and when he's beaten up enough people and charged that aura up enough it can cover him wholly and make it so he can get shot without being mortally wounded. #justyakuzathings
Entity Affiliation(s): the slaughter. the fact that making people hurt charges his aura in his actual canon actually makes this really funny to me

Information: takayuki's a private detective back home and used to be a defence attorney. he's the adoptive son of the head of a yakuza family, too. he's no vigilante and believes the justice system is still the fairest chance people are gonna get, but he's not afraid of getting his hands dirty to uncover the truth needed for those trials. it probably helps that he's an ex-punk who gets a thrill out of fighting, even though he does his best to be a normal adult these days.
the yagami detective agency was created in a crime-infested part of tokyo... which is why the fact its investigators are so willing to get into violent situations fearlessly makes them invaluable to their clientele. outside work, though, he's easygoing and nice for the most part, no matter how weird you are or what awful stuff you've done. just don't treat him like shit and he won't treat you like shit.
Plotting: off the top of my head i think it'd be nice for him to have a smoking buddy for his cigs (and he might try vapes, depending). other than that, takayuki has a penchant for getting into fights, so it might not be entirely uncommon to see him swinging at someone, especially if it's close to a bar. he doesn't exactly seek fights out, sure, but if some asshole gives him attitude and starts throwing punches, takayuki will absolutely throw his own punches back without hesitation. rip. (otherwise he loves to intimidate motherfuckers to the point of them giving up, 'cause sometimes fighting's a drag.)

they can investigate shit????

And in the long run I like the idea of them flipflopping over being the other's voice of reason. I couldn't tell you why this is the vibe I am getting but this is the vibe I am getting 😭

I can't offer a smoking buddy with either of them but maybe a skateboarding buddy??
no subject
I also think it'd be very funny if Taka and Peter get along fine, but he finds Spiderman a little annoying with his vigilante justice. LOL. Then again, at least Spiderman isn't a murderer
yet...no subject
cursedphotos, tooYess that would be great. Bonus points if they debate vigilantism in the middle of one of his bar fights
no subject
AND LMAOOOO LOOK, IT'S NOT LIKE HE TAKES ANYBODY TO PRISON AFTER HIS BAR FIGHTS, RIGHT... HE'S NOT DOLING OUT JUSTICE HE'S JUST DEFENDING HIMSELF!!!
no subject
HELP i can literally see them arguing in the street while the thugs just keep coming LOOK IT'S JUST A LITTLE WEIRD IS ALL HE'S SAYING AND MAYBE SPIDER-MAN IS JUST DEFENDING OTHERS LIKE YOU'RE DEFENDING YOURSELF, OKAY, MAYBE HE'S DOING THAT HOW ABOUT THAT
no subject
Also, actually, if that was Spidey's justification, he'd be... cool with it. And in the end he'd be more critical about him having to include evidence with the Goons he captures that can be admitted in court because then he just fought them for nothing. And the thought of Taka coming to this conclusion as he hits a guy with a bicycle is somehow the dumbest thing I've ever imagined today 😭😭😭

Did they just become best friends?

Taka doesn't believe in "rival" detectives! Plus this isn't Kamurocho anyway, so the more people he can get along with at work, the better. LMAO.
Hilariously I'm not sure if I want to put him in the Investigations division, because he'd hate having a superior to report to. But he'll still investigate things anyway like the #rebel he is.
no subject
Actually Nick's not in Investigation either. They put him in Technology, which he assumes is some kind of joke.
But keeping him from sticking his nose into people's business is just not possible no matter what department he's in.
no subject
Is Nick not good with tech? LMAO....... I've decided to put Taka in Facilities with some Security stuff because he's a jack of all trades kinda guy that does a bunch of rando shit for people back home anyway. His detective agency is more an anything agency really...

he's pretty tidy as well so long as he's got the time to clean, and chances are he's gonna have a plant or two in his room that he cares for religiously. hopefully nobody's too averse to cats in the impending future where he might... have stray cats sitting at the windowsill or something... he attracts those things pretty expertly 😬
they can share cooking duties too 👍

Welcome! My name is Iddy, and Misty here will automatically be interested in him because, uh, her username isn't what it is for nothing. She's decently clean and quiet and not necessarily the worst person to room with, but she's very pushy and very grating and she comes prepackaged with a permissions post for all her bullshit.
no subject
i dropped a comment on your permissions post! i think it'll be fun having them live in each other's space for the unforeseeable future, and i'd love to do casual roommate stuff one of these days if you're down as well just to get a feel for it! c:
