IC INFO NAME: Akira Kurusu / Ren Amamiya / Joker AGE: 16/17 in canon, can age him up 21+, as needed. VISUAL: CIVILIAN / JOKER SUMMARY: The protagonist character of Persona 5, Akira/Joker is the leader of a merry band of thieves, specializing in stealing hearts and changing the corrupted world views of "rotten adults". Basically, a modern-day gentleman thief with a healthy dose of magic and pseudo-science. DEMEANOR: Relaxed, generally unassuming. Likes to keep his hands in his pockets, head angled down. Tries to appear quiet and well-mannered, but this is "a profound ruse that hides the heart of a rebellious trickster". Not to mince words: he's a little shit. AURAL: Based on the dubbed voice of Joker, who is voiced by Xander Mobus. OLFACTORY: Mostly of freshly ground coffee with a hint of spice from all the curry that he makes and consumes. Add a pinch of cat and you have one(1) Akira Kurusu. MENTAL INFORMATION: He can hold up to twelve personas -- basically, can switch between twelve "alternate selves" of himself, making him highly adaptable to dealing with different types of people, almost as though his personality is a state of flux. As far as mental strength goes, he's pretty sturdy, confident to the point of cheeky. Described to have a strong sense of honour, he's a free spirit that stays true to his own justice and moral code. MAGICAL INFORMATION: Only capable of the magic that his different persona grant him, which can be anything from the basic elements (fire, wind, etc.) to death magic. Beyond this, he's a regular human with a little skill in knife wielding and gun toting. HUGGING: Yes. KISSING: Yes. FLIRTING: By all means. He'll flirt right back. FIGHTING: Yes, but please talk to me so that we can figure out how it might go, who wins/loses, etc. INJURING: Yes, but nothing permanent please. KILLING: No, unless previously discussed. OOC INFO BACKTAGGING: Yes please! I have, and will, backtag a thread for months. However, if a thread seems to be dragging on without direction or I feel that our writing doesn't seem to mesh, I'm more likely to drop the thread. SPEED: 1-3 days on average, pending work. I work irregular hours, so tags might come at odd times of the day, regardless of timezones. Some days, I can boomerang, while on other days, I won't have time to look at a computer at all. THREADHOPPING: No. FOURTHWALLING: No. OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS: Personally, if something bothers me, I will reach out and communicate. I draw very clear lines in what I feel comfortable with, so I expect the same courtesy to extended to me. As for Akira, I'll roll with whatever you throw at him. BRACKETS vs PROSE: I default to brackets, but I can match prose if that is your preference. CROSSCANON: Always. Please. Even if I'm canonblind to the canon, I love threading crosscanon shenanigans. Cross-medium & OCs are also very much welcome. Some things that I'm always interested in threading: assumed CR, hurt/comfort (either as the hurt party or the comforter), crime AUs, on-the-run type scenarios, post-apocalyptic settings, anything to do with demon/demon summoning, body heat sharing, bonding over silly shenanigans, to list a few. As for shipping, I'm always happy to try it until we notice that there's no real chemistry, which happens. SHIPPING: ☑ yes: ryuji, haru, iwai, p3/p4 characters, all crosscanon (m/m & m/f) ☒ no: futaba, sojiro, morgana ☐ maybe: ann, makoto, yusuke, akechi, other p5 characters SMUT: If we've plotted or have threaded before, sure! My hard no's are the usual: no bathroom kinks, vore, mpreg. There are a few more that I'm iffy on, but if it fits the flow of the thread, I'll probably be more than okay to write it; talk to me, esp. if you have any hard no's that you'd like me to be aware of beforehand.
