Name: Karen!
Timezone: US Central Time.
Contact: IC: [personal profile] angerpoints
OOC: [personal profile] witherwind
AIM: silverus maximus
Plurk: spitspots (which I've only just recently made for RP purposes, btw, so uhhh be prepared for it to look ugly and for me not to know quite what I'm doing until I get it all figured it out. WHOOP :I)
What you're looking for: I am a huge sucker for close friendships / bromances, mentor-student relationships (or otherwise just Older Person+Younger Person friendships), and complicated CR, but really, anything other than a "passing acquaintance" type of deal would be wonderful!

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Yusuke Urameshi ([personal profile] angerpoints) • Yu Yu Hakusho
Location: En route to Cherrygrove City! He should be there by tomorrow morning, and I'll probably have him hang around for a day or two before he heads out again.
Blurb: Snarky teenaged delinquent-turned-hero with a massive chip on his shoulder, a hair-trigger temper, and a healthy love for brawling. He had a pretty rough time of it growing up, with a well-meaning but extremely negligent alcoholic mom at home, a lot of awful verbal / emotional abuse at the hands of adults at school, and no real outlet for his emotions outside of getting into trouble all the time, so a lot of his canon development satellites around ~finding his purpose in life and sorting out his rage issues through A) gaining a strong circle of friends whom he can count on and B) kicking lots and lots of monster butt. Taking everything into consideration, I guess it kind of goes without saying that he's, uh, pretty bratty and difficult to deal with no matter who you are or what your relationship is to him, but he is a wonderful, deeply caring ally and friend once you look past all that emotional baggage and prickly crap. Just don't expect him not to still be a little mean sometimes. What can I say, The Power of Friendship can only do so much. :')
Plans: Yusuke's pretty new, so I've no set plans in motion for him at the moment – right now he's just kinda... boppin' around PokeWorld, finding his feet and being ticked off about getting yanked out of his world in the middle of trying to stop an apocalypse from happening. So yeah, I'm pretty flexible when it comes to plotting right now.
Link to a recent post/log people can tag into: It seems to be winding down a bit, but anyone who wishes to needle him over being a loud butthead is free to tag him at his intro post! I am perfectly willing to backtag o/

I have been slow on hitting you back on that intro post and for that I apologize but I have this sense that Parker and Yusuke could eventually end up as pretty cool friends? I mean, her canon has an established entire class of people who specialize in beating the ever-living shit out of things when the need arises, but it also goes out of its way to acknowledge that their Team Hitter is in fact incredibly smart and quick on the uptake, too, which they use to their advantage — basically, she's entirely open and used to the idea of a ragefurious guy who's more than he seems on the surface. Also she's a thief which, IDK, that might be relevant to Yusuke's interest or something, WHO KNOWS.

tl;dr pursue brotimes y/n?

[personal profile] angerpoints 2013-03-21 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
YYYY, I am definitely on board with that! Like, as far as the thievery thing goes, one of Yusuke's close friends / teammates from home, Kurama, was a master thief back in his demon heyday, so he definitely wouldn't have any issues with it if the subject happened to come up - and who knows, maybe she could give him a few tips! I don't imagine he's shoplifted recently, given the infinite conga line of Bad Guys he's had to deal with since employment, but seeing as old habits die hard, I can very easily see him resorting to swiping supplies if he's pressed for cash. Gotta keep a hearty inventory of hair grease on you so you don't end up walking around Pokemon Land looking like a pretty boy all the time, you know what I'm sayin'??? >:V

And no worries! As you can probably tell, I'm responding to people at a near glacial speed myself, so w/e, it's all good.

[personal profile] nostabbing 2013-03-21 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
Yessss, Kurama has always been one of my favorite characters of all time. (I've seen all but the last season of Yu Yu Hakusho, and have a fair idea of what happens in the last one anyway.) I'd play him if I had the time and a good canon review under my belt I DON'T HAVE A TYPE AND MY TYPE IS NOT MASTER THIEVES SHUT UP CARMEN AND PARKER AND KURAMA ARE FLUKES, but as it is I will just have to admire from afar for the moment.

DAMMIT YUSUKE DON'T SHOPLIFT IT HURTS MOM AND POP BUSINESSES. You need to take big things like diamonds. And massive amounts of cash.

[personal profile] angerpoints 2013-03-21 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
oic! SO I'M PREACHING TO THE CHOIR, THEN. Perhaps some kind soul will take pity on us both and apply for him one of these days. And also Kuwabara. And Hiei. And everyone else ever.

NO BUT WHAT IF EVERYONE FINDS OUT I'M A BISHOUNEN 8'(

Yusuke is inevitably going to remind Namsoon of his bff from home in so many ways, everything from being a delinquent-turned-hero down to being mean/prickly to his friends, which is something Namsoon is nigh immune to at this point and will gladly respond to with a playful tease in return! it takes A Lot to annoy him, he'd probably just find it weirdly nostalgic of home or something dumb like that :')b

if you're interested in having them travel together for a while, I'd really like that? especially because he's still a little reluctant to train his Pokémon and being around people who are more into it will probably give him a little push in that direction o/

[personal profile] angerpoints 2013-03-21 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
aw man aw man I creeped upon Namsoon's bio some time ago and I gotta say, I am so incredibly intrigued by his canon. Like, I haven't watched a huge amount of k-dramas, but I definitely have a Thing for stuff that deals with young people and relationships and growing up and all of those things, so. Yeah. THAT DOESN'T HAVE A LOT TO DO WITH ANYTHING, ACTUALLY, but I figured I'd mention it just because. Anyway, I'm totally down with Namsoon and Yusuke being buds! Yusuke is never not in need of more guy friends who can put up with his shit and banter back and forth with him, so I reckon they could learn to get along with each other just great once Yusuke's done accusing Namsoon of accessorizing his weasel. ... wow that whole exchange sounds rly inappropriate when you put it like that. AHEM.

(Also, I doubt it would come up right away, but it looks like Yusuke and Namsoon even have the alcoholic parent in common, right? To be fair, Yusuke here tends not to be very shy about bringing up his mom in kind of a light-hearted, joking sort of way (like "lol oh, the smell of alcohol, feels just like home!!"), and he still loves her enough to want to be there for her and totally ruin anyone who talks badly about her, but idk. It's definitely caused him a lot of grief, so I figure that if their bro-level got high enough this could possibly be something they could commiserate with one another on at a later point? Even if it's only as a sort of an aside or in a really nonchalant, ~manly~ "lol w/e" sort of way. Like, I seriously doubt Yusuke knows very many other people who would really be able to, you know, get what living with an addict is like, so. Yeah. I DUNNO, I AM JUST THROWIN' OUT IDEAS~*~ I've got a lot of feelings about Yusuke and his relationship with his mom, so this pinged me super hard.)

And yes, that would be great! I was actually thinking of asking you the same thing, haha. I'm not sure how on board Yusuke will be with the whole Pokemon training + catching thing at first, given how inclined he is towards just beatin' up everything himself, but I think eventually he'll warm up to it. Probably after the first couple of times he nearly gets his butt handed to him by a giant flower or sth :I

School 2013 is so great at young people & relationships & growing up *u* There are a lot of good kdramas that I wouldn't recommend to people who aren't already into kdramas, but this is one that I think non-kdrama fans would also be able to enjoy and empathize with a lot!! (and ngl I love talking about kdramas so any excuse to is great in my books, haha)

totally preparing myself for an epic bromance to unfold *u* I think it might take a while for them to warm up to each other, but from the looks of it I think they'd get along well after working out any initial awkwardness o/ also Namsoon will probably think the weasel in a dress thing is hilarious about 10 seconds after the topic is resolved :')

oh whoa, the alcoholic parent situation is definitely something they have in common and deal with in similar ways :( he definitely tries to not let it get to him much, but if the topic ever came up he would definitely feel relieved being able to talk it over with somebody in a similar position!

They can gently push each other into it or something :')b maybe by having a little bit of healthy competition over it or something like that? (Namsoon will be all :I because his starter has the type disadvantage to Yusuke's though, haha)

also!! would it be alright if I added you to plurk? my username's [plurk.com profile] adjustment UvU

[personal profile] angerpoints 2013-03-21 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
I think the only k-drama I've actually watched in its entirety is Hero, and that is because I saw Lee Joon Gi in the movie "The King and the Clown" and thought he was brilliant (and also really, really good-looking, dang). :') I started on Iljimae for the same reason, but then just. Never got around to actually finishing it. WHOOPS.

And you sure can!! Just don't mind me if I seem to flounder a bit; like I said, I've never actually used Plurk, so uh. Yeah. BUT ANYWAY yes of course do it o/
mianhe: (Default)

[personal profile] mianhe 2013-03-21 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
ooh, what did you think of it? :o I usually only watch recent dramas so Hero is a little out of my usual range, but I googled it and the premise is pretty cool *u*

k, added! o/

[personal profile] angerpoints 2013-03-22 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
I liked it! I mean, apparently the ratings for it weren't all that stellar when it initially aired - I think it had a similar time slot as IRIS at the time? - but ~WHATEVER, I thought it was good. Like, the plot isn't super creative or unique, what with the Back-Stabbing, Gangsters and Dead / Estranged Parents all over the place, but it's really funny and cute when it's not, uh, punching you in the gut or totally ripping your heart out, and the acting is also pretty great. So yeah, I recommend it if you ever have the time to check it out!

\o/

[personal profile] angerpoints 2013-03-22 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
P.S. SINCE THEY ARE NOW TRAVELING TOGETHER I THOUGHT PERHAPS YOU SHOULD KNOW-- on their way to Cherrygrove City, Yusuke will probably be getting/have gotten mauled by a Heracross (which he would've later caught during the struggle). Given that Namsoon will obviously will within the same general area when this is going on, idk if he and Yeon would want to help Puu/Swablu bail Yusuke out of the situation or just, you know, listen to him when he undoubtedly yells at them to ~STAY BACK 'CAUSE I CAN HANDLE THIS~. I was going to ping you on Plurk about it but the character limit for PMing there is so short and I am so very long-winded aksd;fk

ANYWAY. I'm thinking what happened was, Puu accidentally annoyed Heracross whilst up in a Headbutt tree giving Yusuke the silent treatment (again), and Yusuke, not quite realizing that Puu has a double type advantage to Heracross and could therefore handle fighting her on its own, went HEY LEAVE HIM ALONE and flung a shoe or sth at her and got put on the receiving end of Giant Beetle Wrath. Because the only one who can mess with his dumb bird is him, okay >:|

Xiaoqiao likes Yusuke's enthusiasm in spite of him hitting the adorable bird :< SHE...IS TECHNICALLY OLDER. idk if that's a mentor relationship in the making though. She's going to be in Cherrygrove a little longer so if you'd be interested in them meeting face to face that can happen.

[personal profile] angerpoints 2013-03-21 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
Sure! It looks like Yusuke and Namsoon might be heading in that direction together, so uh, perhaps the three of them could bro it up or sth!!

And don't worry, he and the bird will sort out their differences. Yusuke just has a difficult time warming up to cute things, is all 8V

I'd love to throw her into that group. She'll adopt you both :> Anyways if nothing else she was supposed to enable Namsoon into going to prom too so it works out!

It'll be like pusuke all over again.

[personal profile] angerpoints 2013-03-22 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
Haha, perhaps she can twist Yusuke's elbow into going whilst she's at it? He'll probably resist until he decides it'd be a good way to possibly try and scope out more information about this place, which'll keep him from being too much of a wallflower. Xiaoqiao is also welcome to try and get him to dance or something.

FOREVER PUSUKE :

[personal profile] gracefall 2013-03-22 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
She would happily twist his elbow into going be it literally or figuratively. She's not afraid of using force! Partying is what Wu does, what is it with these wallflowering weirdos. As long as someone's not dying and no one's invading there should be drinking parties!

also mind if I add you on plurk? since I was chatting at you last night /)(\

Imogen will probably put up with him if she spots that heart of gold Yusuke keeps locked in a box far from prying eyes. Otherwise they could be pretty fun antagonistic friends sniping and annoying each other?

[personal profile] angerpoints 2013-03-21 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
Haha, I was about to say, I'm really enjoying their interaction so far! Imogen kind of reminds him of Keiko, in a way, albeit not Japanese and with a decidedly less '90s wardrobe. Either way, I am 100% all for more sniping and annoying of one another - someone's gotta nag him whilst his ~girlfrand's not around. In return, he will do something mean, like... talk smack about her clothing. Or something. Because, you know, he is definitely in a position where he can rightfully poke fun at other people's fashion styles, right? Seriously I cannot even deal with those short shorts oh my god Yusuke--
for_realsies: (Fabulous and Flawless~!)

[personal profile] for_realsies 2013-03-21 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, Imogen is used to being considered weird for her outfits and eccentrics. So she'll make a face at it then keep nagging him to stop being stupid about his magical Pokemon Adventure.

...And I had forgotten how 90s the outfits in that series were. Those are really really 90s huh? !!! Imogen can give Yusuke a makeover! Because that's not a terrible idea, it's the terrible idea!

[personal profile] angerpoints 2013-03-22 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, THAT IS A WONDERFUL IDEA. I propose they meet up one of these days so she can go WHAT ARE YOU WEARING and drag him, spluttering furiously, into the nearest shopping mall. Where his aesthetic will be updated to 2013 against his will :V

[personal profile] lightningbearer 2013-03-22 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
......yeah so if their paths ever cross I totally need to throw Geddoe at Yuusuke. HE'D LOVE TO MEET A GROUCHY OLD MERC, RIGHT?

[personal profile] angerpoints 2013-03-22 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
DEFINITELY. Yusuke's got more than enough room for more grouchy old people in his life, given that he himself is a grouchy young person. Geddoe can join the League of Yusuke's Grouchy Buddies or sth :V
lightningbearer: (beer is wonderful)

[personal profile] lightningbearer 2013-03-23 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
I imagine Yuusuke would respect Geddoe's appreciation for the finer things in life. Like cheap tavern beer. And punching self-righteous hypocrits in the face instead of playing the noble hero type. :|b
