鉄矢

"My parents named me Tetsuya. First character iron, second character arrow. It was from one of their dipshit iaido koans about how a sword should be drawn so quickly it would be as an arrow of iron or whatever.""Yeah, well, newsflash, chucklefucks. Those exist. They're called bullets."

神速

The Shinsoku clan practices a tradition-bound school of kenjutsu, unmarred by the passage of time, free of influence from the weapons of a modern era. Battō in its purest form, a school centered about a single technique, honed over centuries to a razor's edge.Tetsuya Shinsoku gives precisely zero fucks about that shit. People have guns now. Fuck absolutely all of this sword-swinging bullshit, fuck watching his dipshit family try to beat the muzzle velocity of a bullet, he is out.

OOC INFO

antioch / 28 / cst / weekdays and late evenings / balmung

themes — progress vs. tradition, post-sakoku cultural assimilation, the legacy of garlean imperialism, pitfalls of technological superiority, being a generally rude dudeavailability — I work from home, so there are times when I am available during weekday mornings and early afternoons. My availability in the evenings is a little erratic because it depends on how deftly I can put my three-year-old to bed, so a good ballpark would be 8:30PM CST.writing style — Third-person present-tense paragraph RP is my default preference, but I'm happy to match the style of my writing partner. In-game is also my preferred medium of RP; as convenient as the notion of Discord RP sounds, it hasn't worked for me in the past.feel free to ask — If you'd like to RP with me, but aren't sure how to set things up, please drop me a line via PM or Discord. Tell me about your character and what you're hoping to get out of RP and I'm sure we can figure something out!
