Kogarasumaru | Touken Ranbu

[crow_dad]

PLAYER: Erin
CHARACTER: Kogarasumaru
CANON: Touken Ranbu


AU NAME: Kuroi Tori aka Koga
AU AGE: Late 30s...getting close to 40 (seriously he looks way younger than he is)
AU OCCUPATION: Japanese sword instructor for free/Model for living expenses
BLURB:
- Born in Japan but moved to Recolle at a very young age with his parents where he went to school and grew up
- Taught to use Japanese swords by his father and has cherished the art of the sword since then even though he's never participated in tournaments
- Moved out into his own place and began offering lessons in Japanese swordsmanship for free. Which he quickly realized...doesn't pay the bills. Whoops.
- Gets offered a modeling job at around 20 and quickly gains popularity with that due to his seemingly eternal youth and androgynous features
- Continues to model and give those sword lessons on the side at his place. Tends to be easily recognizable by when he goes out and fans know him by his stage name "Koga".
- Has a habit of calling his fans his children
- Lots of rumors about what his real age is but he never actually tells anyone the real answer so no one knows more beyond "Koga is older than he looks!"
- Habit of adopting others and letting them stay at his decently sized property if they need it and generally being a father to them.
- Enjoys going out for tea or to admire any scenary
- Yep, he's still a model, guys. And he treats all of his fans well. Those who hire him as well which explains why people want to keep working with him.
- Keeps a pair of crows as pets and they've appeared in some photoshoots with him.
- Uhhhh that's all I can think of for now! But I'll make a response with any additions I might come up with if needed!

LOOKING FOR:
- Fans of Koga
- People who might want those free lessons
- People he's "adopted" who like to crash at his place (note that he's not letting you take advantage of him and he will kick you out of the nest like a father bird should if you try)
- Those who like to hire Koga for model gigs
- Maybe owners of stores/shops/places with tea that he can visit often?
- Anyone really. I'll be new to this game so gimme.

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: Soooo I'm going to be new to this game and I have one person enabling me hard (you know who you are) but I'm always down for further enabling if you feel like it!

[honestea]

Hi Erin, it's Mad and did you say further enabling ♥

Ranmaru owns a tea shop and will have a room for tea ceremony there too if Koga's into it! He'd also love to practice at his place so he won't get rusty.

Important question, though: how would Koga react to someone not knowing him?

[crow_dad]

I love further enabling! Come at me.

This sounds fantastic actually. More so because he wouldn't be recognized. Honestly he doesn't care either way but it would be such a breath of fresh air at the same time. Definitely would encourage him to go to the shop more often!

[honestea]

Ranmaru can provide, he's been living under a rock for most of his life and doesn't know much about trends or anything along these lines so...yeah. At first, he'll probably know that he's dealing with someone important, but that's it!

[crow_dad]

Daddy will find that to be precious. But Ranmaru he'll just let you find out on your own because mature parents don't brag about being famous.

[honestea]

He'll just ask his fans who will come to his shop after Koga to get the same teas as their idol. I mean it's probably a thing, right? Some fans can be really devoted...

[crow_dad]

Omg what tea did Koga drink? Is that where he sat? Did you talk to him while he was here?

Such devotion~

[honestea]

Did he drink from this tea bowl? Is it for sale?! Just name the price!

Next time he comes, Ranmaru politely asks him not to touch too many things because he wants to keep them lmao.

Ah, it's gonna be cute.

[crow_dad]

Oh dear. His silly children are at it again are they? Well he will have to make sure that he keeps on one spot and one bowl only so that way he can see that Ranmaru isn't inconvenienced!

It is! I'm excited.

[sharplydressed]

oh no i'm dying i love this au, too cute...!

i have peanut here who's Doing His Best as a parttime barista, parttime struggling college student designer, but he does a lot of work for events around town! so he may have worked with koga on wardrobe duty before or something. he also works at a good bean cafe which is small and cozy and serves coffee, tea and Fancy Pastries, if you wanna give him a tea place to visit!

[crow_dad]

I'm so glad you like it! I had a lot of fun thinking about it once my friend enabled me into looking into joining the cast!

Awwwww. He will totally come to that place sometimes so he can get some tea and pastries. And tip his favorite barista when he sees him there really well so that way he can help him through college but also teach him the valuable lesson of working hard! He remembers you well, young man!

[liberal_arts]

i don't care how or why imma make this happen.

I MEAN Kasen's still his usual #aesthetic self and a big name in the art community so they're bound to know each other anyways.

[crow_dad]

They very likely would. Kasen would be sure to be aware of him anyway with that art stuff since Koga would have been in it for quite awhile.

Come admire the pretty Crow Dad, Kasen. You know you want to.

[liberal_arts]

I MEAN you know him, admiring beautiful things is his calling

[crow_dad]

It's so true. He just can't help himself.

[liberal_arts]

let him paint you crowdad

[crow_dad]

Okay. If that makes his child happy he will gladly model for your painting.

[liberal_arts]

child


HE'S 35

[crow_dad]

Yep. His child. Cute child.

[gudaguda]

SO OKITA HERE, TOTALLY WOULD LOOK UP TO KOGA. She's a cosplayer who is a dab hand with a sword. But she is kinda of an aimless cheery 20 year old who works to fund her hobby lol. Totally would have been inspired by this androgynous model man looking cool.

[crow_dad]

Omg that is seriously so precious. Clearly she would need to meet the model she looks up to so much at some point. Or maybe she got to see him once at some kind of fan gathering? Whatever the case he would be happy to have her as one of his children.

[littlekittens]

I don't know how, but I'd love to have Koga CR with either both or one of my boys. Koutarou is a painter, and Algira will be a cat loving yoga instructor if he gets in.

[crow_dad]

I'd happily accept CR for both your boys! Koga will gather up all the people as his children.

[littlekittens]

ヽ(　･∀･)ﾉ Awesome! Algira in particular will like that.

[crow_dad]

Awwww! Crow Dad will be pleased he's so happy. Happy children are the best.
