rowen hashiba // yst/ronin warriors

[personal profile] strataspheric 2017-10-11 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
PLAYER: xan
CHARACTER: Rowen (Touma) Hashiba
CANON: Yoroiden Samurai Troopers (JP) / Ronin Warriors (US)

AU NAME: Rowen Hashiba
AU AGE: 15-16
AU OCCUPATION: Student, working part time in a research lab and haunting a coffee shop so much he basically works there too
BLURB:

+ Rowen is a genius whiz and has skipped ahead several grades, which places him squarely in college level courses while he's in High School
+ He's really great with mechanical/technical aspects, but he enjoys fiction and comics like any normal teen boy
+ His courses are being paid for through a combination Scholarship and grant
+ The grant is from the research lab he works in, which studies the mind during sleep and REM
+ Because he's a brainy nerd he got shoved into lockers a bunch
+ And still does, probably
+ Teachers either Love him or Hate him. He's the nightmare student.
+ Truth be told he just wants some friends who won't see his insane intelligence and be intimidated

LOOKING FOR:
+ Friends, please for the love of god this kid is lonely
+ Relatives– his dad was pretty absent through childhood and his mom divorced and works a high stress reporting job so he never sees her.
+ Relationships– guys, gals, it really doesn't matter. He's a loving kid.
+ Rivals– who doesn't get geared up with a challenge?

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: I'm also considering Hori from Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun and Arthur from Inception.

YST was my fucking life and first intro to RP. Absofuckinlutely.

Balthier is Franklin in game, and he's an investigative journalist. He did do a study abroad to Recolle, where he. Slept with half the RPD or something, IDEK.

but!!! IT IS ENTIRELY POSSIBLE he would have done some sort of mentorship program while he was there?

Especially if you want to talk writing or journalism!
strataspheric: (head first)

[personal profile] strataspheric 2017-10-11 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
oh my god balthier, go hard or go home ig

i mean rowen is hideously addicted to coffee so idk does franklin go to coffee shops to write at all
freeskies: Probably the hole in the wall. (Default)

[personal profile] freeskies 2017-10-11 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
BASICALLY

also yes, balthier does that sometimes! but he's not nearly as regular about it as Mako is. but he'd go with some chatter? HE'S FRIENDLY
strataspheric: (Default)

[personal profile] strataspheric 2017-10-11 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
wonderful!!!

rowen is somewhat of a klutz so i imagine he can idk... accidentally spill some water or knock a manuscript off the table and then apologize and offer his first born in recompense

hinata's 16 so he's age-range for friends EVEN THO ROWEN ISN'T IN THE USUAL GRADE...???
strataspheric: (Default)

[personal profile] strataspheric 2017-10-11 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
FRIEND!!

it's ok he's very friendly even if he's over here studying theoretical engineering or whatever the heck. he hangs out in libraries and coffee shops a lot so it's easy to find him
livens: (HUH ♪ did you say something)

[personal profile] livens 2017-10-11 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
how long has he been in rec? like, when did he get skipped into lightspeed WHEN WAS HE WITH KIDS HIS OWN AGE...if he was here back then, maybe he and hinata knew one another from then and hinata just kept up w him after he went on to study Hard Stuff?
strataspheric: (kings and kings)

[personal profile] strataspheric 2017-10-11 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
I imagine after the Messy Divorce when he was like... squints... 4 or so, his dad moved them to Rec

so, totally possible they were schoolmates!! for. a small time.
livens: (THUMBS ♪ way up)

[personal profile] livens 2017-10-11 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
In that case if you are interested, they could have been friendly/friends from back then? hinata doesn't shove ppl in lockers at least and likes all sorts of people, so!
strataspheric: (Default)

[personal profile] strataspheric 2017-10-11 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
i'm def interested!! this sounds ideal and adorable tbh. please make sure he sleeps and eats sometimes. he'll make you little weird gifts like rabbit sculptures out of aluminum
livens: (Default)

[personal profile] livens 2017-10-11 05:18 am (UTC)(link)

[personal profile] secare 2017-10-11 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
DID YOU SAY SOMETHING ABOUT FRIENDS? Yukine is a sophomore in high school and may potentially be an excellent friend! Especially if Rowen is getting bullied in any kind of way because he's a nosy fuck that would definitely intervene.

But sounds like he's in college courses so it kind of depends. Yukine also tends to hang out in coffee shops occasionally. He's an aspiring photographer if that's anything Rowen would be into.
strataspheric: (Default)

[personal profile] strataspheric 2017-10-11 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
friends are always welcome YES!! Rowen gets bullied but sometimes it's his fault because he can't hELP BUT RUN HIS SMART MOUTH OFF

(save him)

He takes college courses, yeah. Though he would def be interested in photography because i think he's stunted in that creative direction hahah
secare: (dreaming of bigger things。)

[personal profile] secare 2017-10-11 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
Sadly, Yukine is totally a person to get involved.

So here's an idea. They met when Rowen was getting harassed by college classmates off campus and Yukine got involved to whatever degree of success & from there they went to go lick their wounds nearby at like a cafe and spent a while shittalking and chatting? Continued to stay friends even if sometimes they're like mostly taking through text? And yukine drags him to help with shoots or model or just spend time doing dumb stuff?
strataspheric: (Default)

[personal profile] strataspheric 2017-10-11 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
YUKINE PLEASE...... you're a hero thanks

This sounds totally plausible! Rowen's attached to his phone even if he forgets to answer text messages and falls asleep halfway through calls. He'll gladly help with shoots tho he'll likely be camera shy

I'm up for all shenanigans so Dumb Stuff is on the table TBD
secare: (can't always live in the light。)

[personal profile] secare 2017-10-13 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
Yukine looooooves his phone. Sometimes he just sends out cat photos. He's a horrible person to have your number. He gets bored? he starts texting if there's nothing else for him to do. He'll also tease Rowen about the falling off, but it's not really a biggie. It happens!!

OH NO WHAT A GOOD BOY. Yukine can make it work or at least have someone to come with sometimes and provide a blind opinion.

Yukine kind of falls into trouble so Rowen is likely to get swept up into plenty of nonsense.
strataspheric: (kings and kings)

[personal profile] strataspheric 2017-10-14 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
ok if he sends cat photos, rowen is responding ASAP, even if it ends up being "ajfkldsfjdskl"

he loves cats

ahh that sounds so cute!! personally it'd be fun if he was involved in all that. he needs some creative outlets haha

YES GOOD I love getting this idiot into trouble because he's a problem solver and usually comes up with whack ass ways to get out of trouble.
secare: (time is up & you're out of luck!)

[personal profile] secare 2017-10-16 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
GOOD PRIORITIES. yukine volunteers at the animal shelter so he'll send lots of loving photos of them.

YESSSSS. get dragged! help him!!

Hahahahaha oh good. Yukine's a delinquent in recovery so he's still in the mindset of punching his way outta things. HE'S... he's dumb sometimes, okay.
blind_badass: (conjecture)

YES RONIN WARRIORS

[personal profile] blind_badass 2017-10-11 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Snake is also pretty damn smart, but 24. At the same time, he appreciates smart people so maybe they have some labs together?
strataspheric: (Default)

Re: YES RONIN WARRIORS

[personal profile] strataspheric 2017-10-14 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
GOSH IM SO HAPPY PEOPLE RECOGNIZE THIS

and ahhh yes that sounds lovely!! rowen likes working in labs and he does.... idk stupid experiments and gets caught up in it because he's excited

sorry if he blows anything up on you
constellates: (★ i'm ready to bingo)

[personal profile] constellates 2017-10-17 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
ANYA WILL BE HIS FRIEND

and honestly try to fight anyone who shoves him in a locker like wtf, don't be mean to the smart kid he's cool

she's 16 and a high school student so idk if they'd be in the same classes but?? she'd still want to be his friend
strataspheric: (Default)

[personal profile] strataspheric 2017-10-18 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
look he sort of deserves being shoved in a locker, he's a smart mouth...... someone save him from himself

they might not be in the same classes since he's a disgusting genius but!! it is possible he knew her before he skipped 10000 grades. or if she hangs out in the library or in coffee shops, he tends to be there
