Tsuawa Kidd
GAVE UP ON FIXING THE FRONTIER. SETTLED FOR CLEANING IT up INSTEAD.
THE FIRST STEP OF ANY JOB IS READING THE POSTER.
Tsuawa is a former member of the dustwatch, the keepers of the law in Shaaoloani settlements. For reasons not publicly disclosed, she left the watch in her mid-twenties, setting off on a solo bounty hunting career to make ends meet instead. She proved more than proficient at the task, aided by an already prolific reputation developed during her former employment.tsuawa has been noted to treat every poster taken up as a personal mission, touting her hunts as something more intimate than purely business. she cites this as her greatest strength on the job, stating "It's easier to kill'em when you really want them dead," upon questioning. as such, she's also been noted to be unusually hostile towards her targets, displaying a penchant for brutality that skirts the line of dustwatch tolerance. It's a fine line between bounty hunter and killer for hire.Due in part to rising tension with local authorities and a smaller pool of bounty targets, tsuawa has recently set out to foreign lands, looking for other, more appreciative folks in need. A HIRED GUNBLADE NEVER GOES HUNGRY IF SHE'S GOOD AT THE JOB.Side Note: Tsuawa is not meant to be presented as a superhuman character in terms of strength or combat ability. She can, has, and will lose fights. don't worry about it. it's fun. i promise I won't lose it if you beat her up.
SMART HUNTERS DO A STAKEOUT.
THE MIQOTE STANDS AT A RESOUNDING 5 FEET TALL, SPORTING MEDIUM LENGTH BLONDE HAIR AND FAIR, TANNED SKIN. HER FACE AND BODY BOTH ARE ADORNED WITH DARK FRECKLES AND SCARS, NEARLY IN EQUAL MEASURE. HER BUILD IS ATHLETIC AND TONED, PARTICULARLY IN HER UPPER ARMS. HER FINGERTIPS ARE USUALLY ROUGH AND BURNT FROM HER EXCESSIVE WEAPON USE AND LACK OF CARE TOWARDS THE TOOL ITSELF. HER EYES ARE A BRIGHT YELLOW, WITH THE SIGNATURE SLIT SUNSEEKER PUPILS. SHE GENERALLY SMELLS OF CAMPFIRE SOOT AND BURNT HAIR, CAUSED BY THE SAME GUNBLADE ISSUES THAT CHARRED HER FINGERTIPS.HER OUTFITS ARE VARIED, BUT ALMOST ALWAYS INCLUDE DARK BROWN LEATHER AND FINGERLESS GLOVES OF SOME SORT. USUALLY SHE HAS ON AT LEAST ONE AMMUNITION BELT, LOADED WITH ROUNDS FOR THE GUNBLADE THAT CAN ALWAYS BE SEEN HANGING ON HER BACK. THE GUNBLADE ITSELF IS WORN, RUSTED IN SEVERAL AREAS, AND STAINED IN SEVERAL MORE. IT LOOKS TO BE IN POOR CONDITION, AND DARK AREAS NEAR THE CHAMBER MAKE IT CLEAR THAT IT BACKFIRES FREQUENTLY ENOUGH TO BE AN ISSUE.while not visible, i would like to make a clear, open note here. tsuawa is a transgender woman. if this makes you uncomfortable or if you don't approve of transgender characters in general, please save yourself the time and effort and leave now.
DO I LOOK LIKE A SIGNPOST? FIND YOUR OWN WAY, STRANGER.
It's a little fucked on mobile. sorry.
you ever wonder if there's really folks up there, watchin' us?
Using regular font so this section looks less serious than the others, oooooo. I'm a 28 year old transgender woman, and as a general rule of thumb it's safe to assume my character is also transgender. Safe to assume they all are, honestly! I'm gonna lay out some personal preferences while you're reading this too, just to get them out there. I will not play with characters or writers below the age of 18. I'm an adult, and playing with others that aren't or that are playing minors is uncomfortable for me. Nothing against people with characters below the age of 18, and I'm not accusing anyone of anything indecent, it's just a matter of preference. My timezone is PDT, and my availability is all over the place due to working hours. Feel free to ask for my discord or send your own if you're worried about forgetting things in game, I try to be as sociable as possible! And, as everyone else says, do not confuse anything said ic with feelings ooc. Don't ruin a good thing by getting weird about it!I prefer planning out an rp opposed to walk-ups, either in discord or in game. I also roleplay in discord on occasion. mostly because I'm very bad at keeping attention focused on unplanned roleplaying. If I'm standing around, there's a 100% chance I'm dickin' around on my phone.As a footnote; If you are pro-Israel, transphobic, or fetishize fascism, I have no interest in speaking to you. Leave now, you're wasting your time. Tsuawa explores themes of brutality by authority figures, but not in celebration or approval of the concept under any circumstances. I just like westerns.Watch 3:10 To Yuma. Either version. Those cowboys gay as hell.
we've all got likes and dislikes. i like gil, you don't like being in jail. it's all compromise.
COMEDY & ACTION - Smallest bulletpoint, but maybe the most important. Below are personal favorites, but as long as the rp could loosely fit into comedy or action as a genre, i'll more than likely be down to play it out. please feel free to suggest or let me know what dynamic you'd like to play out!Hijinks - I WILL ALWAYS BE DOWN FOR SOME GOOD, OLD FASHIONED TOMFOOLERY. SLAPSTICK-ESQUE RUSH HOUR TYPE COMEDY IS A PERSONAL FAVORITE. DESPITE THE TONE SET BY THE CARRD, I ADORE HAVING A SLIP UP PULL TSUANA AND A PARTNER INTO OUTLANDISH, CARTOONISH SCENARIOS. OPPOSING A NAMAZU YAKUZA? ACCIDENTALLY JOINING AS AN ARCADION PARTICIPANT? SPENDING AN HOUR FIGURING OUT HOW TO SAVE A CAT FROM A TREE? LETS MAKE IT HAPPEN.buddy cop drama - nothing more fun or dynamic than sticking two characters with opposing viewpoints together and forcing them to work in tandem to survive! a bounty being hunted by both the law and their former gang, forced to team up with their hunter to survive? a pacifist paying for travel across the plains, taking issue with the 'GIL FOR BLOOD' PHILOSOPHY OF A BOUNTY HUNTER? ITS ALL GOOD, NO MATTER HOW YOU SEASON IT.MEASURING CONTEST - Every pompous, self-absorbed, big headed asshole has one glaring weakness. an even bigger pompous, self-absorbed, big headed asshole. RIVALS ARE ALWAYS A FUN DYNAMIC TO PLAY OUT, AND A GOOD OLD FASHIONED DICK SWINGING CONTEST IS A TRIED AND TRUE STARTING POINT.
STOP TRYING TO TELL ME WHAT HYPE MOMENTS AND AURA MEANS.
YOU AIN'T GETTING IT WET - PLEASE DO NOT APPROACH ME WITH THE EXCLUSIVE GOAL OF BOUNCING ON IT OR HAVING IT BOUNCED ON. I WILL NOT DO WALKUP ERP. IT'S A MAJOR VIBE KILLER AND I USUALLY WON'T EVEN DIGNIFY THE OFFER WITH A REPLY.GRIMDARK EDGEMAXXING - I'LL BE HONEST, I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST THOSE THAT DO ENJOY IT, BUT GRIMDARK STORIES OR PLOTLINES ARE BORING TO ME. I DON'T WANT TO WRITE "BAD THINGS HAPPEN FOR 7 HOURS AND THAT'S IT" WITH YOU. IT DOESN'T FEEL SATISFYING TO ME.EXCESSIVELY LORE NONCOMPLIANT - I'M FINE WITH BENDING LORE TO MAKE CHARACTERS WORK, I'D EVEN GO AS FAR AS SAYING I THINK YOU SHOULD GO A LITTLE FREEFORM AND MAKE SOME OUTLANDISH CHARACTERS, BUT I HAVE NO INTEREST IN CHARACTERS THAT APPEAR TO HAVE NO CONSIDERATION FOR THE SETTING IN THE SLIGHTEST. I'M HERE TO ROLEPLAY WITH FINAL FANTASY CHARACTERS. IF I WANTED TO ROLEPLAY WITH A CHARACTER FROM YOUR FAVORITE ANIME, I WOULDN'T BE ON FFXIV LOOKING FOR IT. BEND lore BACKWARDS, BUT DON'T BREAK IT.
as far as you're concerned, I'm nobody. YOU AIN'T CHANGING THAT.
the stuff anyone could reasonably JUMP IN ON.
who ya' gonna call? - tsuawa is absolutely terrified of both ghosts and voidsent alike. she's all too familiar with killing flesh and blood, but spirits, supernatural beings, and anything relating to the undead scare the hells outta her. she might recruit you to help her with a bounty hiding in a rumored haunted area, or maybe she runs into you while dashing away from what she percieved as a bounty's vengeful spirit? whatever the case, this gal can't handle the supernatural.The good, The bad, ect. - ARE YOU A BOUNTY HUNTER OR ADVENTURER YOURSELF? could be YOU BOTH TOOK THE SAME JOB UNKNOWINGLY, AND NOW YOU'VE GOT TO COMPETE FOR WHO GETS THE PRIZE. MAYBE IT'S A STROKE OF LUCK, THE TARGET IS TOO DUG IN AND COOPERATION IS NECESSARY TO SEE EITHER ONE OF YOU PAID. EITHER WAY, SHE'S MAKING YOU BUY DRINKS AFTER.any gunblade can save - Despite her attempts at maintaining an image of stoic carelessness in the public eye, tsuawa has a well documented infatuation with lost causes. in a tight spot? Facing pressure to pay an unfair debt? agree to a fight you know you can't win? had a relative stolen away by a band of wrongdoers? the higher the stakes, the lower your chances, the higher the chance she'll lend a gun to your cause. just dont expect her to admit she enjoys this kinda thing.ACE HIGH - WE'VE ALL GOT OUR VICES, AND KIDD IS NO EXCEPTION. UNFORTUNATELY, KIDDS VICE HAPPENS TO BE ANYTHING THAT SWALLOWS CASH AND OFFERS A CHANCE AT GETTING A LITTLE MORE BACK. HER GAMBLING HABITS LAND HER IN HOT WATER MORE OFTEN THAN MOST, SHE'S GOT THE LUCK OF A RRONEEK IN A MIRROR SHOP, AND USUALLY THE FUNDS TO MATCH. ARE YOU THE ONE THAT JUST TOOK ALL THE POOR BOUNTY HUNTERS GOLD AT THE GAMBLING TABLE, OR ARE YOU A KIND SOUL THAT TOOK PITY ON A (VERY LIKELY DRUNK) GAMBLING WOMAN?
don't care what they told you, you don't know me.
For shaaloani locals or the particularly OBSERVANT.
DANCED with RRONEEK- as a child, tsuawa was actually a part of one of the more isolated, rural tribes of hhestarro. She keeps this chapter of her life a secret, along with her reasons for leaving that life behind to make her own way in the more modernized areas of shaaloani, but no secret worth knowing is a secret to everyone. if you're a tribal hhetsarro or have connections to them, it's not out of the question that you may recognize her from her girlhood days, be it by her first name or her face. Are you brave enough to find out if it's still the same girl?ONCE UPON A TIME IN SHAALOANI - a defining point in kidds story is her separation from the dustwatch after years of loyal service for the towns of the frontier. That being said, the exact nature of her split from law-enforcement is something of a local mystery, kept under wraps by both the hunter herself and the dustwatch. all that's known is that it involved the death of another deputy and a local ruffian leader. maybe it's time someone local decided to uncover the mystery.UNFORGIVEN - Those posters nailed up to every pole in town serve a purpose, one this vigilante takes on with as few risks as possible. This includes ensuring any bounty listed as 'dead or alive' is hauled in as cold as the frontier sun allows them be. This is bound to make some enemies, for better or worse. Maybe she killed a close friend you didn't feel deserved to die, or maybe she took out a fellow bandit that you considered a BROTHER? IT'S ABOUT TIME SOMEONE BRAVE CONFRONTED HER ABOUT THE LOSS OF LIFE AND ITS COST, through violence or otherwise.
Do you think they'd draw me with the hat if I was ever on one of these posters?
