EMP MEME

Curious about what characters might be a good fit here or just need a little push to make up your mind? The EMP meme is a low-pressure space to put your feelers out. This is where you can share which characters you're considering, whether they're strong contenders or just a "maybe if someone twists my arm."

Please keep in mind that posting an EMP toplevel is not a reservation, nor does it guarantee priority if you later decide to reserve that character. If someone else posts about a character you've also been eyeing, please be courteous - chat it out and see if you can reach a compromise.

Just fill out the short form below with the characters you're mulling over, and let others know what might enable you! Note that you don't need to have gotten an invite to post here! EMP is, in part, to help you noodle out whether you'll shoot for an invite in the first place.

Happy enabling!

Character Name: Ken Ichijouji
Canon: Digimon Adventure 02: The Beginning
Age & Romance Preferences: 20, bisexual

About:
• A former evil child genius (it was cringe) who did a lot of emotional work on himself and emerged as the best-adjusted college student alive.
• Kind, considerate, introspective, and nerdy. Loves trivia and hot springs. An unabashedly sappy guy.
• Has a Hero Streak a mile wide: he's been there, so he wants to stop hurt people from hurting people.

Potential Plans:
• Ken's pretty thick when it comes to romance! He's displaying interest in someone at his canonpoint but hasn't made a move. Made dorky faces when the girl did instead. If we end up with a lot of hot messes, Ken is here to help them out.

Anything Else?

If I app Ken, he'll (probably) bring this bug. You're welcome.

I feel like after Shizuru'd last...entanglement...Ken would be a healthy person for her to meet and get to know, regardless of if it goes anywhere.

He knows a few things about complicated emotions, and also realizing you done goofed. It is true.

Meanwhile the moment she says "ghost" his bug fucking faints and Ken needs to handle that, but he'll be right back with you in a moment, Shizuru....

Digi02 was my childhood growing up, so I'm super thrilled seeing Ken here 👀👀👀

Same here, honestly. I'm happy so many people are excited to see him around!

Have you heard Japanese Wormmon, btw? He is adorable.

No I haven't, I grew up with the dub OMG???? That's so cute

If we wind up in the same game again I know we'll come up with some nonsense. We always do :P

Always.

hey ken let's be kamen riders together

it's terrible when someone takes advantage of your gullibility to lie to you and make you wanna do Villain Things, isn't it

feels SO bad

/they stare into space together

yeah

but then you transformed and kicked them until they exploded, right

actually, a bunch of other depressed kids remembered they had stuff they wanted to be when they grew up, which caused the villain to become a shadow

then my bug shot the shadow with a cannon until it exploded

but that's mostly the same thing
