Kouneru (Cornell), Castlevania
((Cleared with Alucard and Joachim's players. Feel free to notice his accent, which we'll say is vaguely Romanian. I won't write it phonetically. ;) And uh, I'm using his Japanese name because I like it more.
ETA: Does Kouneru win for lowest sorting attendance record ever, or what? ^_~ Guess it was a bad idea apping him right after the secrets board! Someone else gets the record now, hee. <3!))
It seems as though Kouneru materialises from out of nowhere, landing heavily on the stone floor with a grunt. His appearance is that of a heavily muscled bipedal man-wolf, thickly furred in the way that all animals in arctic conditions become, and he's carrying a pack. After a moment he pulls himself up into a crouching position, ears flattened back against his head, a reflexive snarl rumbling from somewhere deep in his throat as he surveys his surroundings.
None of the scents are familiar to him, and he's definitely never seen the room before.
Sensing no immediate threats, he concentrates until his fur begins to recede, muscle and bone shift, shrink and realign, ultimately revealing a white-haired, deceptively frail looking young man (who is, thankfully, clothed). He rises to stand a bit unsteadily, favouring one leg.
1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?
"I- I guess any cheese made from goat's milk. 'Chèvre'? I once heard a frenchman call it that," he says, a distinct accent colouring his words.
2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?
"If a conflict cannot be avoided, the one physically closest to me would fall first."
3. What time is it where you are?
"The sun was out--" He pauses to glance out the nearby window, noting the position of the sun has changed since last he saw it. "Oh. Ah, it looks to be just past sunrise."
4.If you were Albus Dumbledore returned from the dead, which member of the Order of the Phoenix would you sexually harass? How would you harass them? If you are Albus Dumbledore, please answer as if you were Sirius Black.
"I am unfamiliar with this order. Are they knights, or priests?" He looks flustered as he realises the nature of the question, then his expression shifts to one of slight irritation. "Nor do I know who Albus Dumbledore or Sirius Black are, so I'm afraid I'm not qualified to answer this question."
5. If you are pushing to be in:
A. Slytherin - please state the clever, witty name of the bar in which you bartend, in the dark.
"I can't say that I ever would be tending a tavern in the dark, but if I were to choose the name of the establishment, I suppose I'd go with Crescent Moon." He smiles abashedly. "That's part of my tribal name..."
B.Gryffindor - Debate whether Harry should ultimately end up married to Fred or George. Use examples from a variety of world mythologies to bolster your argument.
It hasn't escaped Kouneru's notice that all three sound like men's names, but he decides not to comment on it. Live and let live, he figures. "Harry ought to wed whomever he chooses to. Or no one, if that be his wish. True devotion can exist outside of marriage."
C. Ravenclaw - You guys are supposed tobe smart. Explain why my desk is inundated with paperwork at all times, even though I’m constantly disposing of it.
"You must either be very successful at what you do, or else you're very lazy." He offers a small smile. "Maybe you just need some help with that paperwork."
D. Hufflepuff - Prove you are not useless.
He appears to be affronted by the question at first, but it quickly fades when he reminds himself that every other question thus far has been nonsensical, and this one is no different. "Well, I can cook and sew and craft items, and I'm an adept hunter." It comes from being a wolf, he adds privately. "I have acquired all the skills necessary to be self-sufficient." He hesitates. "By my own people's standards, anyway."
6.Offer a bribe to the members of this community so that they will not squib you. Items used in bribery do not necessarily have to belong to the person offering the bribe.
He isn't sure what 'squib' means, but has the feeling it would be best avoided. He upends his pack over the nearby table, spilling its contents. There are daggers and axes, vials of blessed water, small crosses, several ampoules of liquid, many multicoloured jewels, gold pieces, and a few opalescent crystals. "I can offer any of these. Some have very... unique qualities, others are exactly what they appear to be."
"I have read the hogwarts_hocus faq, and understand it is a crazy, cracktastic sorting community and RPG. K
I have read the hogwarts_hocus rules and agree to abide by each and every one of them. K.
I agree to be a good sport and not get my knickers in a bunch. K.
One day, marmalade will rule the world. K"
