A Shifter's Heart, A World of Wonder [Niji MetaThread]

    After the Invasion Event, or maybe a set up for it before the event takes place. Is there anyone interested in a good friendshipping or a build up to a possible actual shipping?

    Mostly ask since I've learned that romantic Ships on BG usually end up in tragedy, death, and loss. I want to try building something more warm, fluffy, and lighthearted fare. And yeah any of those types of ships won't be first thread things, but it'd be cool to build up the groundwork for something (possibly), or a good IC friendship at the least. Anyone interested in trying to build something that won't go pear shaped? Or end in tragedy (hopefully)?


    Interested in building a friendship or more with any Human, Shini, or Arrancar that's interested.


    Friendshipping: Any gender, or gender identity (including third gendered players).


    Potential Future Romance, or ending potentially purely platonic: Female.
    My Player's Interests: Libraries, books, rare / interesting things, adventuring / treasure hunting, martial arts, technology, weapons, learning new things, hard liquor, and inventing / science. As well as anything she finds interesting, amusing, appealing, or captivating at any given time.

    My Player's strengths as a friend: Good for anything; Will never throw you under the bus, or betray you; Will take your secrets to the grave; will help you however she can; and will point out all of your good strengths, and attempt to buoy your spirits. As well as a fast learner.

    Weakness as a Friend: Doesn't get innuendo, subtext, or double entendres (both from others or how her own words); Is physically affectionate and naturally touchy-feely; gets violently angry (momma bear level) when one of her friends or someone she cares about is threatened (one of her few berserk buttons. Will literally send her into a massive rage ); and thinks lowly of herself (pre-Obsession) or bursts of depression followed by moments of intense focus (after-Obsession). Also can be both campy, and hammy when over-excited, nervous, or scared.

Hakuda: Kasumi

Shunko: Shun, Kasumi

Zan Res: Shun (possibly)

Shifting: Kionchi.

    Shunko [Combat Skill] (with Mastery in Hakuda); Zan Res; Hollow Res; Shifting (utility GM, as well as potential combat augmentations). (Potential GM in Hakuda/Hakuda Supplemental, and / or Cero).

    Looking for masters of any of those arts looking for apprentices (Non-Hollow, pre-prestige, Hollow skills at prestige).

    Positives: Protective, Risk Taker, Creative, and Good Hearted. Niji's up for almost anything, and will do almost anything to help a friend realize their dreams. She's adventurous, inventive, and willing to supply a good alibi or ways around 'problems' if she has one. Or just a person to helpout with whatever. All-in-all, she's a good person who just wants to make the planes a better place, regardless of how hard or how long that path would take.

    Neutrals: Affectionate, Prideful, and Emotion Driven. These, while not negatives are just as often not positives either. While Niji finds she has lots to be prideful of and lets her emotions drive her creativity and actions. They same traits also cause her to put her own experiences and point of view above others if she thinks they are wrong or has no proof that their way is better than hers. As for her public displays of affection, it usually doesn't take long or much for Niji to do this. It's simply something she does as part of communicating, or when she feels the need for contact with another. 

    Negatives: Shifitng Emotions, Obsessive, Lack of Social Skills, and Savage. When it comes to savagery, she's both socially underdeveloped and uncultured. As well as attacks with ferocity, and monstrous intent. Which plays into her lack of social skills and norms. Giving her a rather offsetting view of things. Her Obsessiveness is a core part of her creative talents, and skills as an artist. The ability to grasp onto something and not let go until she's gotten what she needed. The negative aspect of being emotionally driven is that one's mood and expressions shift as quickly as do the emotions that drive her, which can at times make her appear emotionally unstable. Rather than simply her expressiveness taking on the hue of her emotional state. 


    - Niji's a huge Momma Bear. If those she cares about are in danger and she has the strength to do something about it, she will. If not, she'll still go down trying anyways. Even the rumor of someone hurting them can set her off, although she does keep just enough sanity to ask if there's truth to it before snapping. 

    - Predators. While it's true that she's a Predator's Predator. They being what she likes to hunt and eat the most. Those who prey on the weak, and predatory creatures put her in a survivalist mindset, and put her back into the 'eat or be eaten' way of thinking that was a majoirty of her life.


    - Niji's Sarashi. It not only binds her chest, making her feel less attention grabbing. But it makes them a smaller target, cushions blows to her chest, lessens their movements / obstacle they serve thus allowing her to attack and defend easier. Or in some rare instances, escape more feasible. In other words, her Sarashi protects her. And that also gives it a psychological feeling of security as well because without it she's exposed and vulnerable. 

    The only times it comes undone in front of others is either when completely intoxicated, when she needs to make a huge distraction (and her safety is secondary), or when she fully trusts another person to make herself that vulnerable. 

    - Niji's Lab. It in many ways is her home, her fortress of solitude, and the place where all of the things she imagines come to life ... in a manner of speaking. It for her, is where she feels safest, and is least likely to be on guard or worried about vulnerability. Not due to any actual defenses, but familiarity as well as it being 'hers'.
