CONTACT/TEAM PREFERENCES

A comment separate from your app with your name, email, and team preferences. Making it a separate comment lets us keep it screened, thus keeping your team preferences private.

For the time zone field, feel free to make a note if working bizarre hours makes you effectively on a different time zone than stated.

"Team preferences" is a catch-all field for any thoughts you might have regarding your character's placement. For example, you might want a team that will put up with your character's sociopathy, or has a certain "feel" to it, or is friendly to your time zone, or maybe you don't think your character looks good in orange, and so on! This is also the spot to let us know if there are teams you DON'T want to be on. While you're not required to put anything here, don't say you have no preference unless you really, honestly have NOTHING to say on the subject! If you've already apped and realized you'd forgotten something? Make another comment!

Character Name: Tenjou Mitsuru
Canon: Barajou no Kiss
Reference Link: No good summary exists on the internet.

Character History: The Rhode Knights and their Dominion are responsible for keeping the devil’s seal. Supposedly. Really, the Association holds a lot of the cards, while the roses are either kept in the dark or regarded as tools. Tenjou, the White Rose, is the only one in the group having both background knowledge and any power with the organization. The carefully bred representative of the Tengoku Church, he has access to information and an actual position within the society, so while he may be considered a puppet, he’s less so of one than the disposable human sacrifice Seiran, or Mutsuki, who is more or less (probably more) Tenjou’s pet vampire analogue.

He spends the series as Anis’s least favorite, partially because of his personality but also because he appears to have no problem doing things by the Society’s book. Let those people bleed out because he doesn’t want to use Anis’s blood to heal them? Sure! Worst white mage ever. And all that stuff about cloning experiments, involuntary brain dives on his 200 year old amnesiac vampire? Girls don’t usually consider that kind of thing ideal white knight behavior. Plus his whole to love is to serve deal, to be used and abused. The society might have gotten their ideal knight, but Anis is a mostly normal girl, so she finds him more than kind of gross. Still, this hardly discourages him. Tenjou pursues her and does all he can for her and the saving the seal... even if his methods are less than savory.

Personality: Sparkly overdramatic rich boy, prone to gestures like giving away full life-size statues of himself in chocolate for BnK valentine’s day analogue, calling a limousine for the heroine to get to the store, casually abusing his powers as student council president to make the heroine spend more time with him, making offers to assemble 1000 of his followers to search for her lost choker, and dressing in a ridiculous Takarazuka style dress for the cross-dressing portion of an idol contest. Completely over-the-top, likes poetry and covering things in roses... The shoujo prince stuff notched up to eleven, making him very popular with the entire school.

Also, a sadomasochist troll, which makes him much less popular with Anis. Can’t have everything! As mentioned in the history section, he’s also more than a little bit of a cold bastard, when it comes to decision making about his duty. But while he may not give a damn about 99.9% of the people he sparkles at when it comes to choosing between them and Anis, he does have concern for a few... Even if it’s hardly normal concern. Other people may scold someone for worrying them after they got hurt staying out late, Tenjou will offer to break a few more bones in punishment before healing them back up. Not that he’ll admit to this being caring, either. Even insinuating it is another quick way for his vampire to earn a punishment, or to make Tenjou freeze up in disgust, even in the middle of a serious battle. ...honestly, the less said about Tenjou’s deeper feelings, the better. He may be on the side of dubious good, and out to save his Mistress in the end, but he’s definitely not the typical type of romantic protagonist.

Writing Sample:

01. If given a choice, what would you like to be called? My name is Tenjou Mitsuru, but given the freedom of choice... Aah! Mr. (Student Council) President, Father, Master, those may all have been titles I’ve had handed to me, but if you would... Mitsuru-sama suits me nicely.
02. Do you require socks to be part of your uniform? Ankles, unused to wear and tear, scandalously bare and blistered, the fragile skin broken--! An attractive thought it may be, a good man brought low by such a petty oversight, but I reserve that kind of exquisite suffering for what Anis-sama will deign to inflict on me. I’ll have to insist upon them.
03. Not including mandatory periods of silence, what is the longest you have gone without talking? I have no specific figure to offer you, but I’m sure the answer can be found on file.
04. Are you plagued by suspicions that other people, including coworkers and relatives, may be doing things behind your back that will hurt you? No. I am certain if they were, it would reported to me rather shortly. My followers are rather enthusiastically devoted. Ha ha ha.
05. Other than a large egret, what wild animal would you like to domesticate? I will allow Mutsuki to field this question, as he is intimately familiar with the answer.
06. Are you functionally incapacitated by witnessing other people's misery? My devotion is ever-unwavering.
07. What is your favorite flatware for, purely as an example, eating cake? None other than the elegant cake fork, narrower than the salad fork but form balanced perfectly with function, the left tine extra wide to allow it to cut even through the firm, deceptively flakey layers of baklava! What other answer would there be?
08. Do you trust yourself? [ this field was left blank ]
09. Please list a crime that only you would know that you have committed. Ha ha ha. Certainly. But could I request you make sure you have all your affairs in order, first? Otherwise, “that” is not for your ears to hear. It’d reflect quite poorly on the Tengoku Church to allow such baseless rumors to circulate.
10. If you disappeared tomorrow would anyone miss you? Ohhhh, to leave Lady Anis adrift, separated by the mercilessly fathomless sea of distance! My heart and hers forced apart so cruelly, I would be the shipwrecked passenger with his hope lost to despair on the verge of plunging back into the deadly ice water, rather than live apart all alone-! No, the mere thought of it brings me to my knees. I couldn’t stand for such a thing.

And Mutsuki would get lonely.
