General Information


Młynar Nearl is a tall (six foot three) blond man with golden eyes and, on most days, a resting expression that’s on the “disapproving” side of neutral. He nearly always has a longsword hanging from his belt, regardless of whether it seems appropriate for the situation or the outfit. He genuinely always wear a gold-plated gauntlet on his right forearm, again regardless of the present context. He tends to layer, with the topmost layer being a long, dramatic coat. Also, he has horse ears on the top of his head and an improbably fluffy horse tail, which match the coloring of his hair. There’s also that.

The second son of a storied noble family of knights, he trained and was taken along on his father's missions in the countryside from a young age, developing many thoughts on chivalry, justice, leadership, responsibility, compassion, and all that. As a result, he is...deeply opposed to class distinctions and has categorically refused to be officially knighted by any formal institution. He is a perfectly ordinary wanderer, thank you very much. He's often quiet, if he engages in conversation at all, but once he's comfortable around someone or if you get him started on the right topic he won't hold back.

“Knights should stand with those in distress, those with nothing but the clothes on their backs. This alone I will always believe in.”


Option 1
[Młynar in his early 20s keeps his hair long, appropriately tied back in a ponytail. He is serious-minded, attentive, infuriated by injustice, eager to help, and very protective of his friends. He has a tendency to see the best in people, and wants others to see that too. Although he’s not particularly expressive and is hardly outgoing, he's happy to spend time around people and can be open about himself or join in the fun if it's appropriate for the occasion. He is cynical, but too determined to do something about the state of the world to be pessimistic most of the time.]

Option 2
[Młynar in his mid-40s has cut his hair to just above his shoulders, though his bangs have grown out to match the rest of it. He is at most times operating on multiple levels of pessimism, anger, idealism, realism, concern, and self-hatred, which has a history of manifesting in behavior that can be best summed up with the phrase "stone-faced hypocritical asshole." That being said, he's a perfectly polite, even considerate, coworker, and is actually fairly easily swayed into helping others. He prefers to keep himself at a distance socially, but if he has the slightest reason to care about your wellbeing he has your back. Just, from far enough away that he has plausible deniability. Is probably carrying a newspaper at any given time.]



WHERE

Option A - generic magic 1940s jamjar


[It's my open post and I'll make a film noir option if I want to. A city that is roughly equivalent to the 1940s in technology, but the main power source is magic, derived from little cracks in the universe that also sometimes throw player characters into the place. Magic is mostly gathered and then housed in devices (like cars) or implements (like magic wands) that can be used by anybody. The government has recently righted itself under new leadership but its position is precarious due to all the corrupt guys from the old regime still hanging around, not to mention the organized crime that said old regime had deals with. Perhaps you're helping a dogged newspaper reporter uncover a smuggling ring. Maybe you've temporarily agreed to become a government agent to help steal a bomb back from the mob. Did you open your own private detective agency? Or maybe you just really need coffee from this 24-hour diner.]


Option B - Collab Event

[Have you ever wondered "how would my character deal with being suddenly dropped into a world that's regularly riven by natural disasters on a nearly apocalyptic scale, where nearly every government is dystopian in some way, people keep getting incurable magic rock cancer, and nearly everyone is some kind of furry?" Wonder no more. Thanks to magic rock nonsense, we can justify whatever we want!

Whatever you were doing, it's interrupted by the sound of a nearby explosion. Yet, the next thing you know you're waking up, lying on your back in the middle of a dirt road through a forest.

There are footsteps approaching.

Option C - Uno Reverse Collab

[A horse is loose in your canon.]


Option D - It's just Deer Country

[Look I liked the setting for him.]


Option E - Wildcard

[Hit me with what you've got, or hit me up and I'll work out a different starter!]

[The blade is also not made of metal, which is probably the stranger thing - it's some pale blue stone, lightly glowing.

Well, that's an answer, but...]


I don't know where that is.
Or how I got here.

[Scritch scritch.]

I was in a different forest than this one, the one near my home in Azakawa Village.
There was an explosion.
Then I was on the ground here.
I have no idea what could have happened.

expired icons woo...

[That's entirely reasonable. The middle of the road is not a good place to hold a conversation.

Suga picks himself up off the ground. He inclines his head a little to the stranger - Suga doesn't know where they are, so he'll follow where he leads.

He needs to return home soon - the longer he's here, wherever here is, the longer his village is in danger. The anxiety is quick to set in, but he can't do anything about it at the moment besides try to get information.]

[There's no way he wouldn't follow Mlynar at this point. What would his other option be, staying alone in an unfamiliar place?

Suga takes note of their surroundings as they walk, trying to glean anything he can from what he sees. Animal ears seem to be a normal thing? The architecture isn't Japanese, and they're either somewhere very rural or... he doesn't want to consider time travel, this is confusing enough.

At the question, he nods without hesitation. He's not hurt, nor sick.]

[The word 'mining' catches Suga's ear, and he turns his head to look at them before they quiet down. ...It's rude to eavesdrop, but he couldn't help it.

He takes a seat, relieved to at least see a TV. For a moment he was really considering the possibility of being transported back in time.]


Suga.

Is your name spelled like it sounds?

thanks magic rock!

gemuinemanagement: (like you don't care)
From: [personal profile] gemuinemanagement
[To be honest, Suga needs the additional moment to try and figure out where to even begin with asking about the current situation - but it is embarrassing to misspell someone's name, especially when that person is being polite to you. And it really doesn't sound like a Japanese name.

Suga hands over his pen and paper, and waits patiently.]

[That definitely isn’t the spelling he would have guessed, it’s good he asked.]

It’s a very small village up in the mountains of Japan.
I have to get back as soon as possible.

[...blink.]

The Pacific Ocean, off the coast of Asia.

Where are we?

gemuinemanagement: (what do ya need need need)
From: [personal profile] gemuinemanagement
[The long pause doesn't fill Suga with a lot of hope that this will be easily resolved... But then, not knowing where Japan was was already a bad sign.

He hands the pen back, preparing himself to not recognize a thing.]

gemuinemanagement: (two eyes like the sun)
From: [personal profile] gemuinemanagement
[What an incredibly detailed map. Obviously he doesn't know how accurate it is, but Suga doesn't think he could draw a decent map of Japan offhand. Then again, he doesn't travel literally at all, so it's not like it's information he uses often...

Unfortunately.]


I've never heard of any of these places.

They could?

[Suga's geography is not the best. He could be looking at a map of... South America? That's plausible.]

But you would have to be very, very isolated to not know an entire continent.

I don't know much geography, but I know that's not right.
People cross oceans all the time in planes and ships.


[Mostly planes these days, but even if he were somehow earlier - and he couldn't be that far back, with the TV here - there'd still be intercontinental trade.]

This doesn't seem like it's just a problem of distance.
