CHARACTER INFORMATION

NAME: Inuzuka Shino
CANON: Hakkenden: Touhou Hakken Ibun
CANON POINT:

INFO: Follow the Link!
MOONBLESSING:

AGE: 19 (1 in-game birthday)
SPECIES: Human/Demon. Smells demon, feels demon, calls himself human, was originally human. In truth, a human transformed into a sheath for a cursed demon-god sword.
GENDER/SEX: Male/Male
APPEARANCE: Image Link.
HEIGHT: 5'6" (170cm) (HC)
BUILD: Slender, he has some muscle definition but he's on the wiry side, nothing about him is bulky.
HAIR: Waist length-ish, black with purple undertones. Looks purplish in direct sunlight. LET ME LIVE!
EYES: Green. Red when Murasame's taking control or Shino's fighting to stay in control/following severe bodily injury.
VOICE: His voice actor is Tetsuya Kakihara. For him singing, check out his character song, his image song with Murasame, his voice actor singing the ending song, his image song with Sousuke, and his image song with Rio Satomi.
FEATURES: Two worth noting: he has a reddish peony-shaped birthmark on his upper right arm (image), and when Murasame is fully located within Shino, his right arm bears a tattoo from the back of his hand up to his elbow (image). This tattoo grows to cover his arm, torso, and chest if Murasame's seal is weakened, as happens when Shino has suffered severe bodily injury (image). At a certain point, while Murasame's fighting Shino for control, Shino can manifest skeletal wings out of his back, his fingers turn into talons, and his sclera go red.

Murasame requires his own notes: while he primarily is shown as a crow, he can be summoned as a sword, or he can be entirely within Shino. At that time, he may open his "eye" on the back of Shino's hand in response to outside stimuli. He can technically make sounds when he's fully within Shino, and when a crow, can converse. Usually he doesn't bother with more than one to two word statements. When Shino is on guard, Murasame can take on a magnified size as a crow, filling half the space of a large room; when Shino is injured to the point of threatening his life, Murasame can manifest a portion of his true form (image), which is that of a dragon-canine with a third eye in the center of his forehead (image).

PERMISSIONS

HUGGING
Yes! He's physically affectionate and tends to drape on or otherwise touch people he's comfortable with, so hugs will be fine by him in most cases, and usually reciprocated.

KISSING
He has no idea why you'd do this, but his responses will be more positive to neutral area kisses than if you go for one on the lips. No guarantees on his reaction should you plant one on his lips!

FLIRTING
Go for it! He most likely won't notice, and on the other hand, he's direct and blunt in his thoughts and words, so he's more likely to fluster than flirt. Or not fluster, if your character rolls and accepts anything tossed at their face.

ROMANCE
I'm open to it, should the CR chemistry work that way! Shino's not got romance on the mind, so step one would be making him take that kind of interest in someone, but it's not impossible. He's still going to love his family 5ever.

SEX
Event related things with positive CR are possible should things go that way, but in a general sense, he has no finger on his pulse when it comes to sexual attraction, hasn't bothered with it in his life (hasn't even lived through puberty), and would have to care about someone/would prefer to be in a relationship because he's Devoted, when you get down to it.

FIGHTING
Always! If he's wielding Murasame, he's a decent swordsman, but on his own he mostly has "run and evade" in his skillset, and he also tends to have a bad habit of being caught off guard and trusting in his inability to die to carry the day.

INJURY
Go for it! Please discuss with me if it'll be a significant injury, because Murasame will have a response to Shino being significantly injured.

DEATH
Please discuss this! Shino can "die" but can't die, because Murasame keeps him alive at a hefty cost. This requires planning, as Murasame's response will be to devour living beings and take in enough raw materials to sustain Shino.

MIND-READING
Talk to me! Shino is more likely to be readable, but it's possible Murasame would make that difficult, so it's more of a plotting point we can go over.

MANIPULATION
Go for it! Shino is at times very aware of this, other times appears to be more gullible in his beliefs, so it's a mixed bag on this count for how well it'll work. Basic manipulations work really well with him.

OTHER
Shino can sense energies, though this is strongest when Murasame is fully contained within Shino. He can also scent differences between human and non-human. You can either let me know if he'll feel demonic energy or smell that a character isn't human (or purely human) in a given thread. He personally reads as demon. He doesn't smell or feel human to anyone with those senses, but he will without fail tell anyone that he's human, and it's stupid to judge based on appearances alone.

OOC INFORMATION

BACKTAGGING
Yes, also happy to handwave threads to endings if we're getting bogged down.

THREADHOPPING
In any of his open network posts, please do!

FOURTHWALLING
Go for it, though he's not going to be inclined to believe your character.

CRAU
Feel free to recognise him from another game. If this ends up being relevant, I'll be highly amused.

OFF-LIMITS
Nothing comes to mind as being off limits.

OTHER
TBD.

OPT IN
Shino's 19, but I won't presume on anyone as agreeing to engage in sexual themes with him unless a) you've tagged into an option geared for that explicitly or b) you've told me before you're okay with things heading that direction.
