Permanent concrit post goes here.

Questions, concerns, approvals, insults...anything you'd like to bring up with me, go ahead. Comments screened, of course ♥

In light of some conversations with Kohaku-mun about how I'm playing Soujirou, I thought I'd make a list of some of the things that I draw from canon (but are up to interpretation) and some things that I feel might be his habits around camp. I kind of suck and no one has to read this, r-really. It's more for myself than anything.

( Soujirou, you silly little assassin. )

( So Soujirou's been scarce. )

On a lighter note, I really do hope that I haven't been annoying anyone. I genuinely believe that you guys are some of the best roleplayers to be found, and I'm flattered that I actually got in in the first place ♥

Comment here and I'll tell you what Soujirou thinks of you and/or what his first impressions are.

Character: Seta Soujirou
Series: Rurouni Kenshin
Character Age: 18
Canon: In the midst of the unstable times of the Meiji Era, an ex-assassin named Makoto Shishio seeks to seize control of Japan and alter society from the very roots by eliminating those deemed too weak to serve any use to the world. To assist him, Shishio possesses a formidable human weapon in the form of a feminine young man by the name of Seta Soujirou who serves as his right hand man, personal assassin, diplomat to possible recruits, and errand boy.

One of the most noticeable things about Soujirou is that he never stops smiling, having repressed all his emotions except for that of comfort. So, when talking with others, he's extremely polite, friendly, and even giggly. However, while he may look non-threatening, he is a skilled and ruthless swordsman who is nicknamed Tenken, or "Heaven's Sword." His trademark move is the Shukuchi, which enables him to move so quickly that he can't even be seen. Oh yeah, and he has a stereotypical angsty past, but this is Soujirou prior to the brain breakage à la Himura Kenshin and it's not a topic that comes up in general conversation.

Insane? Quite likely. He'll slit your throat and never lose his grin. Not in a particularly vindictive way, more of a "so sorry, but you are the weakest link, goodbye!" sort of fashion. One must be civil about these things.

Well, this is a funny sort of place! I decide to take a little shortcut through the woods to save time, and now I'm afraid that the pastries I bought for everyone will spoil before I can reach home. I've never seen a path such as this before, I must admit! Regrettably, I have already lost one of my sandals to that fantastic patch of muck around the corner. Would someone be so kind as to point the way to Kyoto?

Oh, how ill-mannered! I've forgotten to introduce myself.

My name is Seta Soujirou, and I speak on the behalf of Shishio-san and the Juppongatana. We're a friendly, non-profit organization dedicated to the cleansing of society by the, ah, removal of unsuitable elements! However, for some strange reason, members are hard to come by. If you'd like to give us a chance and don't mind a slight only slight, really! risk of permanent injury or death, please come forward now!

Ah, you there! I can almost see the passion of battle alight in your eyes! At least, I think that's what it is. Come now, don't be shy, give me your name and you'll be on the front lines in no time at all!

...now, sir, I know you're eager to prove your strength, but could you please relax your grip on my wrist? Interestingly enough, my fingertips do require a decent flow of blood, and they're starting to turn the same color as your skin.

Really now. I've asked politely, and I hate to be rude, but this sort of behavior is quite unacceptable for a soldier under Shishio-sa--ahhh, there's no need to bite! Well, if you must insist on this foolishness--

....

How admirable! Even after decapitation, you're still standing and ready to continue the grand fight for existence! I do believe that earns you a pastry. ♥
