► Threadhopping with this character - yes/no/maybe so?:
Yes, as long as said thread is open to everyone.

► Backtagging with this character - yes/no/maybe so?:
Definitely. Mun is a backtagger herself, so it should be fair that others can do the same for him.

► Hugging this character?:
Surprise hugs will result in either flailing or suspicion. Katsunoji rarely gets hugs, so he would most likely be uncomfortable at these kinds of situations.

► Giving this character a kiss?:
See above, except he'll probably draw his katana if the kiss is something he didn't really want. He kissed only one girl in his entire life before his arrival, so yes there will be awkward situations with that.

► Starting a physical/romantic relationship with this character?:
That would be very tricky - Katsushirou did have a crush on someone before, but there were, er, complications. He still has some feelings for her, though he is starting to move on from it. Still, he's probably more concentrated on his training than anything else, so a serious relationship would be hard to get from this guy.

► Punching this character:
Do you want to die? He's not the most skilled samurai in the world, but he can surely hold his ground. He won't hesitate to kill anyone who poses a threat to him or to anyone needed of protection. Sparring partners are very much welcomed, though.

Oh, and while punching him to his senses might be initially returned with irritation, he'll most likely appreciate it later on.

► Is there anything ought not be mentioned near this character?:
You can mention anything to him, but questions regarding love and death will be treated awkwardly. Also, while he might have experienced things a teenager normally wouldn't have,  he's still rather naive in several things and would also be uncomfortable with questions that asks one's morals.

4th wall breaking is not allowed. Seven Samurai can be considered as a classic, yes, but Katsunoji would probably prefer it if no one outside of his canon knows what happened in that one last battle. But feel free to compare his story with the other adaptations like bug's life lol.

► Is there anything you need us to know about interacting with this character? Special physical features, fighting abilities, STUFF:
He is from an anime where samurai can chop Gundam-sized mechas into pieces with only their swords,  and he can deflect huge canon blasts with his blade. So yeah.

Also, while he's from a steampunk setting, the society is pretty much similar to that of feudal Japan, and so would have similar views at such (i.e. the social classes, the gender thing, etc.) .

► Anything else, please mention here:
He has several Berserk Buttons. Beware.

--------------------------------

► What motivates your character?
Many things motivate Katsushirou - his own determination, his mistakes, and even the people he admires. But his real driving force is the people who need his help - the people he protects. He is willing to kill or be killed for them.

► What is your character’s greatest strength? Greatest weakness?
Katsushirou's greatest strength is that he grows. He's human, and can be an idiot at times. He makes mistakes. But the good thing about him is that he realizes these mistakes, and he constantly strives to be better. It is experience that makes him the strong samurai he is now.

But there is one fault that he cannot seem to overcome - his self-control. Through battles he is able to keep his calm even when forced to kill, but there will be times that he cannot maintain this composure and snap. Katsushirou fears his bloodlust, as it might eventually control him. The only support he has against it is bushido, and the very reason why he took up the sword in the first place.

► What does your character consider important in life?
Life itself. His sensei told him once not to take death lightly and he never did ever since. Quite ironic, as his job is to kill others, but it is a sin he must carry for the sake of others. To him, all life is sacred, and such it shouldn't be thrown away recklessly.

► What does your character think of friendship or love?
Katsushirou values friendship highly. It is what helped him discover his purpose in this world after all. They helped him realized that people are worth protecting. Love - or rather romance - is a more tricky topic for him, though. He experienced it before, but he has a rather.... stale love life. The number of people he did some non-violent physical contact with? One. Thus, awkward situations with it are to be expected. He prefers not to think much about it right now, though.

► How does your character feel (thoughts, feelings) about being stuck in Adstringendum? The events here?
Will be filled up after character spent a sufficient amount of time in Adstringendum.

► What do you want to accomplish with your character in the RP?
I want him to find a balance between being a samurai and being a young man - he needs to loosen up once in a while, although he doesn't need to sacrifice his duty by doing so. Furthermore, I want him to confront the emotional scars he obtained from his past, and possibly move on from there.

► What does your CHARACTER want to accomplish in the RP?
Oh, the usual thing he does - protect people. He'll probably try to create a way for people to be able to freely enter and leave Adstringendum, although that's obviously impossible. Not that will stop him. Still, he's no idiot, and Katsushirou knows that plan would take quite a while.

► How would you like your character to develop?
I'm not so sure - I usually don't think of future character development unless it will happen quite soon. Anything goes, I guess, as long as its reasonable~

► What qualities are there about your character’s personality that aren’t readily noticeable?
Uhhhh.... Katsushirou likes flowers? *shot* Just check out the personality section, I guess.

► Give at least one bit of information about your character that may or may not be shown in their canon, but you like to believe is true.
Check my head canon post. <3 Basically, though, I assume a lot of things about his life before his appearance, as Katsushirou's background was never mentioned.

► What sort of plots would you like your character involved in, even if it might seem impossible to do?
I want him to become someone's unofficial bodyguard. XD Or just have a romantic relationship with someone - even something that's only happens for a short while, or something that's not too serious. Katsushirou needs to realize that there's more to life other than saving people. And yes, this is also for my amusement over his flailing. XD

► What character(s) from your character’s canon would you like to see here? Why?
Kanbei, Kyuuzou, and Kirara. All three of them signify important points in his past, and while Katsushirou has no intention of meeting any of them at the moment, their appearance in Adstringendum might be enough for him to be able to let go of his past.

► If given the option to leave Adstringendum and return to their own home, what would it take for the character to stay in Adstringendum by their own choice?
Being a wanderer, Katsushirou has no real place to call home - he simply travels around, helping people along the way. However, should he be trapped in Adstringendum long enough, maybe he'll finally be attached to one place, and stay.

But alas, samurai are just like the wind - blowing nearby, helping some stand up, and just pass on. Maybe he'll stay. Maybe not.

--------------------------------

Medical Info: Nothing really significant to mention, except that he did obtain quite a few scars due to battles. The most important one would be the scar on his right leg, which he obtained from a shot fired by Ukyo.

Notes for Psychic Characters: Katsushirou has been haunted by inner demons ever since he became a samurai, and he is quite far from achieving satori. He does act mature and scary at times, but deep inside, he's just a teenager who probably saw too much for his age.

Abilities: Check his app, lol. TL;DR version: he's a samurai in a steampunk world.

Can I shapeshift/bodyswap/spit at/step on/etc. him?: Yes on all, just don't expect him to be happy about it. Ask my permission first for shapeshifting, though.

Hugging/kissing/other non-violent physical contact: DO EET. You can never have enough awkward situations with Katsunoji~

Maim/murder/death: This requires detailed plotting. PM me first, yes?
