LEAVES THIS HERE FOR REFERENCE I GUESS

PLAYER: Pear (

tantou), player of Koukichi/Gokotai

5kotai
CHARACTER: Kojuro Katakura
CANON: Sengoku Basara

AU NAME: Kagetsuna Katakura (his parents thought it would be cool. Also I'm lazy, that's his historical birth name.)
AU AGE: 30
AU OCCUPATION: He's a bouncer for a high-end club in the evening on weekends, but works at a garden store in the daytime on weekdays.
BLURB:
-Despite appearances, not a yakuza or a thug. He does joke he owes money to them if it's brought up…
-Okay more seriously. He does have debts to pay off that he inherited from his parents after their deaths, so he's no-nonsense and a workaholic.
-Parents owned a business, borrowed money from less-stellar folks outside of Recolle to keep it afloat. They died in an unrelated accident when Kagetsuna was a teenager.
-He used to work as a bodyguard for a wealthy family in Recolle who took him in after his parents passed away, and they even paid for his schooling and helped him shape up. (He isn't exactly using his degree, so it would take prodding to find out what it was.)
-They were a good, but kindareally shady family? Look, he'd question it but they were longtime friends of his family, they took him in after life was crap to him, and he wanted to believe they were good, so it's a conflicted loyalty.
-Things came up for that family late though and they disappeared/"moved away"; now he's on his own now with the debt that the family kept away for years thanks to their influence. It's not impossible to handle, just there.
-Does not like cops. He's mostly clean and only had one bad run-in with them back during dumb teenage years, but he's just wary because yeah, thanks adopted yakuza family.
-The night job is actually the one he likes because it's kind of exciting and fun in a guilty pleasure gossip insider sort of way.
-The above job experience does mean he knows how to fight off a person and took training for taking them down without severe injury (and lawsuits), but he generally won't use it unless it's on the job.
-Day job is for the in-store discounts and extra money on the side, retail is still terrible. He's willing to suffer though for his children.
-Green leafy children. His garden and plants are his babies and it's a hobby he cares a ton about.
-AU personality differences: not many, he just doesn't have that insane loyalty he has toward a single person. Still has low bullshit tolerance, surprisingly smart about people despite his attitude, and practical without tossing all his morals into the void. A really grounded person with a good heart somewhere in there.

LOOKING FOR: Anything if you have ideas! I'm probably not apping him right now.
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: Nah...

Is it possible that they could have a "Hey, how're you doin'!" sort of relationship. When Kaz passes him when he's clubbing and vice versa? Also he's an accountant, so he might have known some of the guys as Kagetsuna.

Works for me, I like those sort of coincidental friendships! Being slightly friendly (having a friend to just know?) helps with that sort of work too.

But please, watch your alcohol intake buddy.
