Treeyukusa
Real Body Skill:
Tsuyukusa is a tree ayakashi. As such, his real body is literally a tree. This skill has enabled his real body to be placed in Aather.

So here's the basic info:
Location: His tree is placed behind Turquoise, where a back yard would be if there, you know, was one.
Health: He is somehow able to subsist from the shitty soil, be it because the area around his roots has been given actual nourishing soil or because Aather has shifted his makeup. Idk.
Appearance: He's young, and his tree is also very visibly young. It looks a good deal sturdier than it appears in the above picture, and is easily climbable. I would have used another image, except those that demonstrate its sturdiness also show it... well, spoilers.
Species: I headcanon that Tsuyu is a camphor tree. This means that in the spring he will flower, and when those flowers are fertilized/wither, he will bear fruit. Fun times/hilarity/etc.

ON DAMAGING HIM: Tsuyukusa can feel everything that happens to his tree. Vividly. Snap a branch off and it will feel like losing an arm, and will continue to hurt until it heals, which is a fucking slow process for trees. Because of this, Turquoise is currently questing for a way to keep him from being hurt, but until then he's pretty vulnerable.

If anyone wants to touch/hurt/climb his true body without IC permission now would be the time, before it's rendered un-damageable by team-dere/Personae. Alternatively, at a later date, one could contact me and possibly find a way to work around whatever is put up for tree!defense. I can be found on IRC as Tara, plurk as treefucker, and email at visone.tempesta@gmail. Feel free to contact me by commenting to this post, as well, if you have any questions.
 
Aaaand because I have no self control and FEEL LIKE TL;DRing... QUESTION MEME FOR TSUYUKUSA!

I might have briefly mentioned this on plurk and other question memes, but I might as well go through it in a bit more detail! Basically, it's pretty much like watching someome rewind Natsume's growth in canon. Unlike Hikaru, Natsume's general personality was pretty much there already because he is innately a good kid so he started off kind of similar to his canon self.

However, the big diff is that he started off as a curious person! He wanted to learn more, gain answers, learn about feelings, etc. He doesn't naturally have this sort of thing because he only began to learn social skills reaaaally late (14-15 years of age) and is still learning. However, early Winter was pretty much okay with asking people about feelings and such!

HE ACTUALLY STARTED OFF KIND OF STRONG.

And then a series of bad things and bad memories began to reverse time for him. :D;; A lot of his early memories began with everything being terrifying! He was kidnapped! His blood was suppose to be given up! Oh, loneliness sucks! Oh, childhood! As you can see, this began him going into a shell that he didn't have at the start. The confidence that his team gave him earlier started to go backwards as he remembered a lot of his sig. negs.

He started noticing it however so he's trying to use that beginning courage and curiosity to keep that from changing, but uh...that is kind of hard.

So then the thing with Watanuki happened and the bad choice in Beauty's game and the ultimate fear that his team would hate him for his bad choices and ... yes, it was just overall bad for himself. :'D HIS TEAM MANAGED TO DERE AT HIM THOUGH AND WATANUKI WAS SAFE IN THE END, but it was still something that helped to pull him back to pre-nyanko-sensei Natsume.

However! He is stuck on a very strong team that won't allow him to fall back too far, and he knows a lot of people that won't let him either.

So things that I think are different is that a lot of the growth Natsume has, Winter is currently lacking. Winter also started off as being a lot less reckless and was afraid to do anything for a while, but he's...getting back more memories so that's being fixed pretty quick. :B HE IS A LOT MORE OPEN WITH HIS FRIENDSHIPS. That's a big thing. I think it has to do with people like Lloyd and Drift who are sorta kinda pushy/open etc. so it just helps Natsume to open up to his friends more. Also the ideas of romance are a thing thanks to a certain someone (and also mage) '-'

SORRY IF THIS IS CONFUSING.

Three characters you want in aather and what teams you'd place them on? :O

Shizuo on Kunzite is absolutely amazing okay. '-' Matoba on Peridot is pretty good actually... Amethyst is my other alt for him cuz of the eye thing, but lol team dynamics might be a problem there.

Shinichi (Detective Conan) - Amethyst
Nyanko-Sensei - Knight 'fo sho.
Natori - Coral probably

Did I ever ask you this question?

OKAY THIS IS THE SCENARIO

Six other people on Turquoise rite.
One has to be killed brutally (but are revived)
One has to have a leg broken
One has to get a facial scar
One has to perform all of the above acts
One had to watch
One can be elsewhere when it all happens

Who does Tempest pick for each task. He is not able to be one of them.

...butting in to ask how do you propose to watch yourself perform all of these things on yourself?
autorejoin: annoyed (I caught you knocking at my cellar door)

[personal profile] autorejoin 2012-01-11 09:43 am (UTC)(link)
I propose that's cheating.
autorejoin: annoyed (Just a bit more just to get in the lane)

[personal profile] autorejoin 2012-01-11 09:50 am (UTC)(link)
I WANT TO KNOW A SERIOUS ANSWER TO THAT ONE.
autorejoin: smile; emo; annoyed (Dont know which one I'm gonna be tonight)

[personal profile] autorejoin 2012-01-11 09:58 am (UTC)(link)
I'm horrible enough to say "yes", but I'm also horrible enough to have already thought of answers and reasonings behind it, so.

OKAY FINE, how would Tree feel if Sion's ideas of planting more trees from his fruits worked and there were suddenly lots of cute birddeers running around Aather?

PRETTY HARD MAN, PRETTY HARD. At first, at least. And then he'd realize Tree was a good dad, and then Katou would get weird and awkward about it and never bring it up again unless it made Tree tsun in hilarious ways.

What memories do you want Tree to get back most?
autorejoin: with kira; emo (My fear is warm to get inside of you)

[personal profile] autorejoin 2012-01-11 10:18 am (UTC)(link)
See icon. Also, another picture of it.

Back at you!
autorejoin: (Let him introduce himself real good)

[personal profile] autorejoin 2012-01-11 10:30 am (UTC)(link)
He'd demand to know where the real Tree was, because obviously this one's a pod person.

How would Tree react if he found out about the whole deal with Acedia and the violencesexdrugs thing they've got?

WHAT KATOU SAYS!1! GOTTA ANSWER MY TERRIBLE THINGS SRSLY. Blue screen of death, go tree go.

[personal profile] isfinetoo 2012-01-11 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Rolo killed
Yayoi gets her leg broken
Echo gets the face!scar
Katou gets to do all of the above because he can take it
Paul has to watch because he at least won't BREAK

Tsunami is nowhere near any of this. Ever.

You're welcome.

NOW DO THAT FOR CORAL

[personal profile] pitching 2012-01-11 06:56 pm (UTC)(link)
GOSH this is a little harder now that Hound is gone.

One has to be killed brutally (but are revived) - Rabbit? I think this is one where he'd have to be coerced into choosing and I think Rabbit would win. If it was of his own choice and no outside influences, perhaps Raccoon because he seems the most used to death, exploding, dying, etc. '-'
One has to have a leg broken - Kit. Maybe it'll keep him from doing stupid stuff...
One has to get a facial scar - Big bro.
One has to perform all of the above acts - Raccoon (and/or Rabbit).
One had to watch - Ferret.
One can be elsewhere when it all happens - Fawn. She hasn't had horrendously bad trauma yet, and this is a bit too much for first trauma game.

SO WHY CHESHIRE ON IOLITE?

[personal profile] isfinetoo 2012-01-11 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Because i think that's the team Vincent's on but was too lazy to check. And because I'm a terrible person.
