rules & regulations
ASH / 19 / HE.HIM / CST
01 All romantic / platonic relationships are strictly in character. Any relations, conversations and content that are ooc will be marked as ooc, or warned properly. I plan to be multiship to avoid any issues with plotting but this might change in the near future if needed. 02 My roleplay style ranges from literate to novella. I prefer for my partner to write the same length as well. I am also open to pre-established relationships. Plotting can occur on either twitter or discord; either or platform is fine with me. If you lose interest in a plot, please let me know (I will also do the same; no harsh feelings though). 03 I currently hold no triggers but will express my discomfort for a certain topic or subject if needed. Those who do not respect this will be blocked permanently. 04 Any other stuff that is not listed here is listed in my bearblog.
character information
Even a worm will turn when it is faced with the wrath of such madness produced by mankind. Jiraiya Harper, born and raised in a tucked away coastal village that is now abandoned and only noted of ever being there by debris left in its wake. His early years consisted of collecting seashells by the waves for his ongoing collection that was perched against his mother's windowsill. The boy was fond of sea creatures by the plenty as he wished, and wished, to be marine biologist who could help these creatures.His life in the village grew into a nothing more than an enigma to people who tried to study it for more information. The only information given was that his father owed money to someone, somehow, some way. Upon failure to pay the allotted money back, Jiraiya's world was flipped upside down. No one truly knows what happened to the little village that once housed life for generation after generation. Rumors have it that the people came and ruthlessly murdered everyone in their wake; Jiraiya coming back to discover their bodies. Others have it that Jiraiya managed to escape the grasp of the people's hold as he ran away from the life he had.Progressing further into his life, Jiraiya studied the hustle of gambling. He could make a quick buck at shooting some dice and evening out the odds of any sort of game. This was only the foundation of something more—something bigger. He struck gold in one bet-a night he will never forget—that allowed him to gather enough money to rent out a small place beside his place of work (a local coffee shop) and university that allowed under the table gambling as they presented as a small local shop. Jiraiya's regulars were associates of the local "gang", old businessmen and petty criminals who were trying to get something to keep up with their way of life. Although Jiraiya gathered a considerable amount from this alone, his past eventually caught up to him.Skipping forward to the male's twenty-ninth birthday, he was a man who was envied by many, hated by lots and encroaching to the few. His casino was his pride and joy of his triumphant life. Even with the amount of police who tried to take him down, he remained unwavering. He became the man who people also grew to fear as he, Jiraiya Harper, will be someone marked down into history.

personality & more
Most would call him a cheap bastard who preys on the common person who has even a penny to give to him. Others would call him the epitome of cocky as he holds a whiskey glass in his left hand whilst taking a sip every once in a while, between sentences. Callous would even be a word of choice that men in run down bars next to his empire would bitterly spit out amongst one another as they watch the flashy lights and people by the dozen crowd around each other at the casino's entrance. His associates would describe the man as sanctimonious if ever given the chance to name an adjective that fits him. Jiraiya is someone who rubs off everyone as a rather terrible and pretentious; he is not a people person. On rare accounts, the male is rather gregarious or sociable enough to invite those who are closer to him to events or parties.His scent would be described as a forest thick with fog of the cologne, Dirty Hinoki by Heretic. He carries a small gold piece with the words "Alis volat propriis" engraved into it; his thumb constantly rubbing against the piece as he manages his casino.
alternative verses
| GAMER. | POOR POSTURE AT 20 | PART TIME STREAMER?! |
After finishing high school, Jiraiya has decided to go down the path that he always dreamed of: a professional gamer. Spending his last few dollars on a set up, creating a Swish account and doing nothing but hoping and praying, the young male finally stepped upon the first step to becoming what he truly desired. Jiraiya's beginning months were of nothing but ramen packs and only 20 viewers on average per stream. Normally playing rpg games or reacting to analog horror, he decided to switch it up when he saw others beginning to partake in the game Overwatch after a year of no traction. This was the one stream that changed his fate. After such a success, Jiraiya was contacted for a collab with famed streamer, jhyth, which allowed him to soar to the top as the beloved Mercy main who is here to heal, heal heal!
| MODEL. | LIVING LAVIOUSLY AT 26 | YOU HAVE A MANSION?! |
Saying he is privileged would be a huge fucking stretch. Jiraiya was born into a (lower) middle class in a well-off neighborhood. Well, if you called your next door neighbor being busted for a crack kitchen and the neighbor that he swore had been watching creepily him from their bedroom window, well off. He was always an average student; he was occasionally in the newspaper for a minuscule achievement or posted on a drama page for shits and giggles. The idea of being a model didn't even cross Jiraiya's mind when he saw an advertisement being posted in the coffee shop and curiously wandered over towards it, checking it out. Taking a slip just to test out something new, the male stepped into a new world of fashion, drama and haute couture!
