Hey all, one of your members made a Reddit post recently and it caught my eye. I've had a look around and I'd be interested in claiming Satori if she's free as listed in the thread? I've done some roleplay stuff before over on Discovery Freelancer and the Bay12 forums, if any of you are familiar with those, so I know the basics of roleplaying off the bat. I'd really appreciate any advice or help with getting into this, though, as I've never participated in any sort of Touhou RP before, and I imagine it could get confusing if there's existing backstory people are expected to be aware of, etc.
Cheers.

Well, advice in a nutshell:
Don't try to turn it into putting a penis into everything.
Don't use emoticons.
Have fun.
Really, that's all there is to it, just have a grand old time and don't stick a penis into everything.
However, if you don't mind, I would request that you post a small sample of your RP/writing before I approve Satori, as she's a tad important. Once you do that, I will be happy to approve you, as nobody has laid claim to her yet. You will have a 48 hour period to do so during which she will be reserved.

A'ight, I dug up a small bit of the RP I did over on Discovery FL for you. If this is too obscure or short or otherwise not appropriate to prove that I won't bugger up RPing Satori, let me know and I'll see what else I can dredge up. Just as some background: this is part of an in-RP application to the space navy of a very totalitarian, warlike, future France named Gallia. Gallia is the largest of the five futuristic nations of Bretonia (UK), Kusari (Japan), Rheinland (Germany) and Liberty (USA), and is currently waging open war with Bretonia after previously annihilating Kusari's military and placing Kusari itself under Gallic "protection". My character, Katsuko Komatsu, applied to the Gallic Royal Navy Foreign Legion after the radical changes in Kusari which led to her losing a comfortable position as essentially a space-Yakuza. Hogosha. One of the most misunderstood words in all Sirius. Even in Kusari, one could find a hundred different meanings for it from a hundred different people, but to me, the most literal meaning was that it had held since the birth of the language: "protectors". Even in those pre-Kishiro-republic days, I managed to rise among the Hogosha, despite the disadvantage my gender conferred in those times. Brokering deals, forging contracts, fighting terrorists, dissidents and anyone else who threatened my home...they were simpler times indeed. As Hogosha, I could go places and do things no police or Naval Forces officer could, with everything I did being for gthr good of my beautiful home, Kusari. I was a protector. Then you came. Gallia came. Suddenly, everything I knew had changed. With our fleets smashed apart by Gallic forces and the Emperor cut off from the Empire, Kishiro seized power overnight, leaving Kogen-sama exiled in Bretonia. Overnight, Kusari had destroyed itself, blinded by arrogance. We went from a proud, victorious empire to a grovelling republic in the space of twenty-four hours. A sickening state of affairs. And what, then, did Kusari do? Evidently we were not yet finished with our self-destruction. Government crackdowns came quickly, Kishiro seizing the opportunity to rid Samura of its associates with relish. Suddenly I found myself taken into custody, along with many others, sold out by my once-family as an "acceptable loss" to help placate the Kishiro-run authorities. Dropped into the State Police's clutches on false charges, I thought it ironic how I, a woman, had somehow managed to rise under Samura and Imperial rule only to fall under Kishiro and the Republic. Before long I was on a shuttle bound for Freeport Six. I was no longer welcome in Kusari, I was told. Years of protection repaid with exile. That is why I write to you today, honourable samurai of Gallia. My home is dead to me; I hold no love for Bretonia, Liberty or Rheinland, and I will not stoop to piracy. But my offer of service to your kingdom stems from more than that. In your kingdom I see the glory Kusari could have been, a mighty nation. I do not hate my people, but Kusari's time has passed, even as it has forsaken me. There is no shame in my serving another after such treatment. As a samurai, I offer Gallia and her people my blade, service and honour. If you will have me, I will serve with pride.
That's about it. Let me know if you've got any other questions or any other hoops for me to jump through. Cheers. Unless there are any further objections, this player has proved their competency in writing, at the very least, and are tentatively approved. It would be nice if you could write a little bit about Satori, help us make sure you at least understand the character's inheret traits/powers, but you're probably good.
