Fluff Alphabet for Kennyo: Q-R-S

From this list!

Quirk - Some random ability they have that’s beneficial in a relationship.

Kennyo's monk training has given him a number of skills that are useful in a relationship: being a good listener, staying calm, expressing gratitude (and the strength and flexibility don't hurt, either ;3). But perhaps the most quirky is his ability to raise his body temperature through sheer force of will. If his partner gets cold, especially on long winter nights, he can warm them right up through cuddling.

Romance - How romantic are they? What would they do to make their s/o happy? Cliché or rather creative?

Kennyo takes any opportunity to write love poems and notes for his partner. Holidays, the changing of seasons, a patch of rain-watered flowers catching his eye -- any and all such things give him the excuse and inspiration to express his love in writing. For special occasions, he'll work painstakingly on the poem for weeks, maybe even months, to get it just right. But for the smaller everyday occurrences, the love notes are shorter and more whimsical, although no less sweet.

Kennyo also pays a lot of attention to atmosphere. Once he knows his lover's favorite colors, scents, flowers, or motifs, he'll make sure to incorporate such elements into their shared home, especially their bedroom, and/or he'll take his lover to places where those elements can be enjoyed. Similarly, Kennyo pays a lot of attention to his lover's mood, and he'll bring gifts or take his lover to a special place to accentuate what they're feeling. As much as possible, he wants his partner to be able to experience a beautiful world where they can freely feel joy, wonder, excitement, peace, comfort, or even cathartic sadness, and the right setting can go a long way towards facilitating those emotions.

Support - Are they helping their s/o achieve their goals? Do they believe in them?

Kennyo has the utmost faith in his partner and takes an active role to support them. He's a scholar at heart, so he'll learn everything he can about what they want to achieve, out of genuine interest as well love. He'll ask questions, help plan required steps, and regularly check in with his lover's progress. He'll also make sure they have access to any materials or connections necessary. Being a keen diplomat and the leader of the most widespread Buddhist sect in Japan comes with some benefits. If the goals are dangerous to pursue, his partner will unfortunately have to contend with Kennyo wanting to create as many safety measures as possible.

Ultimately, since his lover's happiness is what's most important to him, he is willing to respect the boundaries of someone who wants more independence in pursuing their interests -- though truly dangerous pursuits will probably need a bit of compromise around safety checks.

Fluff Alphabet for Kennyo: T-U-V

From this list!

Thrill - Do they need to try out new things to spice out your relationship? Or do they prefer a certain routine?

Kennyo isn't a thrill-seeker, though he does enjoy sharing new experiences with his partner. He's happy with the everyday comforts and pleasures of home life with his beloved, but he'll also take them traveling to scenic or culturally important places in nature or cities or anywhere in between, so long as his lover is up for it, although he'll try to avoid large crowds or rowdy events.

If they desire more novelty and spice, he's happy to try things for their sake. Depending on what it is, he might be a little awkward or hesitant, but he's willing to do even potentially embarrassing things (like wearing a bat costume for Halloween) to see his beloved's smile.

Understanding - How good do they know their partner? Are they empathetic?

Kennyo is empathetic to a painful degree for a man living in such a war-torn era. Beyond even his natural empathy, though, Kennyo is someone who pays attention. He notices his beloved's body language, their habits, their ways of speaking, so he is very attuned to their moods.

He's very comfortable and relaxed in sitting with someone else's discomfort. This is a man who has been a rock for countless survivors grieving loved ones in their communities, and he has always opened his heart to listen to others' troubles. As a religious leader, he often gives counsel in these situations, but Kennyo knows when someone just needs time to feel their feelings, too.

He's someone who wants to know his partner: their interests, their dreams, their fears. He's not afraid to ask questions about their present. However, Kennyo may be more hesitant to ask his lover about potentially sensitive parts of their past, worrying that his prying would be too painful or unwanted. It's not that he doesn't want to know, but he wrestles with whether he should let his partner tell him on their own time, if they want him to know at all.

Value - How important is the relationship to them? What is its worth in comparison to other things in their life?

Kennyo's romantic partnership is one of the most important things in his life, tied only with his father-son relationship with Ranmaru. Though he cherishes these bonds above all, he does take his position of leadership within the Jodo Shinshu faith very seriously. Still, if such leadership required so much time that his relationships were in danger of being neglected, he would try to find ways to delegate more or to make the time he does spend with his lover and family even more meaningful. Kennyo feels a great weight of responsibility towards his people, but his heart belongs to his lover and family, so he will do his best to balance leadership with being able to remain close to them.

OC WEEK DAY 3: How does your character flirt? :3c

Reika’s flirting is, perhaps, rather typical. She expresses interest by being straightforwardly positive:

“It’s nice to see you~”

“That was impressive.”

“Thank you for spending time with me. It means a lot.”

And by paying careful attention to her object-of-affection’s mood, interests, etc. etc. and checking in with them about those things.

Granted, she acts this way towards most everyone she’s on good terms with, so it’s the very direct, warm eye-contact and gentle tone of voice that is intended to be ~meaningful.~ If she’s more confident about the other party being interested, there will be lingering glances, secret smiles, and the occasional touch on an arm or shoulder. :3c And then she’ll probably just tell them that she admires them a lot and would like to be closer – probably taking their hand and stepping very close when she does so >u>

Happy Let Sans Rest Day~

The Unstoppable Zhǐ Suō!

(I'm trying to decide if I should use the Mandarin terms for papyrus -- 纸莎草 zhǐ suō cǎo -- and "without [sans] -- 没有 méiyǒu -- or just nudge their names to match Chinese romanized phonetics, something like Papairu and San. The latter will certainly be easier for people to immediately recognize & associate with the boys so I'm leaning in that direction, but... we'll see!)

Ikesen OCs Continued: Chiyome

“I will train you, if you possess the resolve. I expect you to devote everything you have to succeed.”

Introductions

Chiyome is a popular figure in Japanese lore as the creator of the kunoichi. She actually makes a brief appearance in Ikesen canonically in Shingen’s route, during his POV when MC first arrives in Echigo. Historically, she was married to Shingen’s nephew, and Shingen took her in after his nephew died.

For Ikesen, since Shingen isn’t old enough to have a nephew married to a 20-something-year-old woman without it being UH YIKES, this Chiyome was married to a cousin of Shingen’s. She’s still widowed though, and joined Shingen’s house afterwards. Now that she’s a single lady, and given that she loves other ladies, Chiyome is an available love interest for MC(s). :3c

Though Shingen sheltered Chiyome to honor a promise to his cousin, it turned out to be a stroke of luck for him as well – Chiyome possesses impeccable court manners, perceptiveness, allure, and an underlying iron will. Even then, she had extensive relationships and good will among women of varying stations. As Chiyome warmed to Shingen personally and began to trust him as a good-hearted and effective leader, she made more use of her talents to assist him. And, realizing her invaluable assets, Shingen gave her a monumental task: to create a network of entirely female informants who could hide in plain sight and gather information in ways his Mitsumono could not. Chiyome dedicated herself to this work, in part to help Shingen, but more passionately to help the women of a war-ravaged period take more control of their fates. Thus the kunoichi were formed, and they spread rapidly throughout Japan.
