CANON

canon: The Sea of Fertility, specifically the first volume, Spring Snow (Yukio Mishima)
summary: Here.
canon point: Flexible.
notes: Open to AU'ing Harunori into other canons, including modern AUs, although would like to discuss first before assuming modern era. My pref is for historical settings from various points of Western or Japanese history, fantasy AU's or steampunk AU's. While I am familiar with the book, I like to incorporate elements from the Takarazuka musical adaption of the story (Tsukigumi, 2012) which is also where my PB is from.



PLAYER

contact: PM to this journal. [plurk.com profile] thewriteway
active times/pace: CEST/CET player. Tries to be online at least during the evening my time, but it varies. More one tag a day player than anything, but if you hit me up at the right time, I can still boomerang a bit.
brackets/prose: Definitely brackets preference, but will match. I default to present tense, but can also match other tenses.
offensive subjects/triggers: Not any.



IN CHARACTER

physical affection: Go for it. He will not be the most receptive.
physical violence: I'd prefer not.
relationships: F/M or M/M. Canon OTP is Harunori/Satoko, but willing to ship him with others, also male characters, if the chemistry is right. Open to x-canon and OCs.
psychic info: He has no mental barriers and will be an easy read. Ask if you need more info.
magical info: No magical powers. Not opposed to playing opposite characters who do have them.
medical info: Nothing worth of note.
offensive subjects/triggers: Canon features unsafe abortion, various illnesses, violence and mental illness, but with Harunori any of this is unlikely to come up.



OUT OF CHARACTER

backtagging: Yes, please!
threadhopping: No.
fourthwalling: Go ahead.
not interested in: Smut, neither M/F or M/M.

About.
1912, first year of the Taisho Period.

Third son of Prince Toin and the one on whom all his father's hopes rest. He has two sickly older brothers. At age 25, he already serves as a general for the Imperial Horse Guards, but has resisted marriage, until he one night sees Satoko Ayakura at the opera, falling instantly in love and accepting, when his parents suggest her as a eligible match. They are engaged, but without him knowing about it, she initiates an affair with her childhood friend, Kiyoaki Matsugae and becomes pregnant. To hide her sin, her parents send her away to have an abortion, but this only makes her seek refuge at her aunt's convent where she vows to become a nun. The Imperial family is told that she has gone insane, thus making it possible to end the engagement honourably, but Harunori senses something is off about the story.
