[AnimeGenork]

Not that I'm not willing to post frequently, but my life won't allow it
But I do read all posts anyway

Is there a medium-high level? XD

As for what I'd totally be, I'd say Regalia. I'm not cool enough to be a kami XD.

 

[QuirkyAngel]

I made a fairly fleshed out god character for a previous Noragami rp, a character that I grew to love and I want to see develop, so I won't take long to get a cs up at least...

Spoiler: Nagi

Current Appearance:

Past Appearances:

(when he lost his regalias)

Name: Nagi

Title: God of Travel and Exploration; He is also called the ‘Traveling God’ due to his unwillingness to stay in one place for very long. Nagi used to be called a Wind God by the nomads.

Age: 715
Gender: Male
Eye Color: teal
Hair Color: green.
Weight: 145lbs
Height: 5’9’’

Outfit: Nowadays, after losing his shinki Akime, Nagi wears nothing special. A black undershirt paired with an off-white pullover, cargo pants, and a pair of hiking boots. He’ll often be seen carrying a large traveler’s backpack which includes camping supplies, food, necessities, holy water bottle, etc. A baseball cap is occasionally worn in order to hide his features. Nagi likes to keep up with modern times since he’s often interacting with humans.

Appearance: See picture. One thing to notice about his appearance is that he often has a lazy look about him. Also, his hair is almost always messy with a windblown appearance because of the wind spirits he travels with.

Location in where you live: Nagi is a traveling god and therefore does not like to stay at one place for very long. He lives wherever his feet takes him, but will occasionally stop to rest at the wayside shrines/statues dedicated to him along the roadside. His statues in the near shore are often dusty and overgrown with moss, since there isn’t anyone to take care of them. People who pray at his shrine don’t often stay for long(being travelers and all).

Despite the fact that he doesn’t visit often, Nagi does still have a house in Takama-ga-hara, which is currently being tended by his shinki Tatsume

Story or tale of which you are known for:

As the patron God of travelers, Nagi has various stories of helping adventurers and explorers find their way home. However, the most famous of his stories—the one many believe was the start of Nagi’s legacy as the Traveling God—was his involvement with Matsuo Bashou, the most famous poet during the Edo period.

Matuso was a human with extraordinary spiritual powers, allowing him to see phantoms, Gods, ghosts, etc. As a result, Matsuo was often attacked by phantoms. Despite his rise to fame, the poet fell into depression that that no amount of meditation could cure. After a string of unfortunate incidences—phantom caused—Matsuo traveled alone on a suicidal journey down the Edo Five Routes, which during medieval Japan was considered extremely dangerous.

Along the way, Matsuo met the God Nagi. Nagi pitied the human who was very close to turning into a phantom. Using one of his shinki, Nagi freed Matsuo of the phantom possessing him. However, because of Matsuo’s spiritual powers, the same thing might happen again and again. Therefore Nagi traveled with Matuso, ensuring the man’s safe journey. The journey was a memorable experience for Nagi, involving various phantoms, prostitutes (possessed by phantoms), and even a crazed witch living on Mt Fuji. Though what surprised Nagi was how much he enjoyed conversing with Matsuo Bashou who was quite intellectually gifted for his time period.

Having grown attached to the human, Nagi chose to accompany Matsuo on all of his literary journeys as Kawai Sora, Matsuo’s apprentice. The fact that he donned a human guise in order to travel with and protect Matsuo Basho caused rumors to spread in Takama-ga-hara about the possible relationship between Nagi and the human poet. Nagi neither confirmed nor denied the rumors. However, after Matsuo’s death in 1694, Nagi chose to wander the near shore as a traveler instead of returning to heaven.

Secrets:

-Matsuo and Nagi did share an intimate relationship, but the poet was not the reason Nagi became a traveling god.

-Nagi had a slight crush on Otohime who comforted him when he lost most of his shinkis.

-Nagi’s fight with Ryujin had to do with the human sailors he’d been protecting. A thief who had stolen one of Ryuujin’s jewels had stowed away on a ship heading towards America. Ryuujin, in his rage, wanted to sink the entire ship of innocent passengers.

-Nagi mentioned in one of Matsuo's poems, but referenced as the 'frog' that guided him.

Regrets:

-That he was unable to comfort Matsuo in his final moments because he’d been busy with his duties as a travel god.

-Being unable to protect his regalias who risked their lives to save him from Ryujin’s wrath.


History:

Nagi was born from the wishes of a small group of nomads who were traveling the Asian continent in search of a home. The land was unknown to them. They were lost and unsure of which direction to head so they prayed to the wind for guidance. Over and over again they called for ‘Nagi’ to lead them, the breeze carrying their voices. Thus Nagi came into existence. Born with an extremely good sense of direction and instincts regarding the land, Nagi was able to fit the role of the guide they needed.

For decades, Nagi traveled with the nomads, granting their requests and protecting them from harm. He gathered various regalias along the way in order to do so. Nagi’s first shinki, Haname, became wings that made him fast, allowed him to fly, and gave him feathers which could be as sharp as blades when necessary. His second shinki, Natsume, became his horns, which allowed him to see in all directions. His third shinki ,Akime, became his clothing, which acted as his armor. Finally, Nagi’s fourth shinki, Fuyume, became a pair of hooped earrings, which allowed him to hear conversations from miles away.

Nagi enjoyed helping the nomads, not just because it was his duty, but because he grew to love them and wanted to make them happy. However, after the nomads managed to settle in Japan, Nagi’s guidance was no longer needed. Gradually, the prayers stopped coming. Nagi knew it was only a matter of time until he was completely forgotten since no shrine of him was built by the nomads and any knowledge of Nagi was spread through word of mouth. Not wanting to disappear, Nagi began granting the wishes of others besides the nomads who created him.

Nagi befriended the local japanese gods and—after helping many lost travelers find their way home— managed to establish himself as one of the travel gods. Several shrines and statues of him were built along the roads, earning him a place in Takama-ga-hara. For a period of time, Nagi lived in Heaven and worked with various Dosojin deities to protect roads, keeping travelers safe. Having a stable home allowed him to take in more shinkis and expand his regalia family. This lasted for centuries, until the late 17th century(see story Nagi is known for), when Nagi left his home in heaven begin traveling once again.

At some point during his travels, Nagi had a skirmish with Ryujin which resulted in the death of most of his regalias. Nagi might have died if not for the intervention of Otohime. The two Gods managed to settle their differences, but since then Nagi has been reluctant to accept any new regalias for fear of losing them all again. He currently travels with one of his two remaining shinki, Hiname (necklace that protects him from blight).

Personality:

Positive traits.

Nagi is a peace-loving god. He dislikes fighting and would go out of his way to avoid it if he could. Nagi rarely gets angry. In fact, some might even call Nagi pushover, since he doesn’t often fight back when insulted. However, he does have a moral standard he lives by, and will fight if he feels injustice is being done. Nagi isn’t a combat-oriented god, but can pack quite a punch when angered—as Ryujin found out.

Nagi is generally polite with everyone he meets, which makes him appear gentle and calm, though he does have a playful side when dealing with friends. He is also a kind-hearted god, willing to help those who he sees in need. Nagi is prone to honesty. As a God, Nagi does keep secrets, but he never lies. If he doesn’t want to say something, he will simply clam up or tell the person outright that they don’t need to know—or that it’s not their business. Finally, Nagi is very free spirited, open-minded, and adventurous. He likes trying new things and enjoys listening to opinions different from his own.

Negative traits.

Mentioned before, but Nagi is a pushover. He allows his shinkis to walk all over him and would probably spoil them rotten--if it weren’t for the fact that his shinkis are generally pure spirits and rarely blighted him. He hates punishing his regalias and the one time he did, he cried so much that the shinki felt guilty even though all she did was kick a tree in anger. He’s also lazy, regarding things he doesn’t like to do, and can be quite frivolous and whimsical. If he gets bored of something, Nagi will just leave, no questions asked. For example, when he up and left his house in Heaven to once again travel the near shore, Nagi did so without any consideration towards his shinkis. This makes Nagi also somewhat selfish, though this arguable as he generally goes out of his way to help humans in need.

Likes:

-sleeping under a tree where the breeze is nice.

-stargazing

-bird watching

-hiking.

-poetry

-meeting new people.

-seeing new things.

-mountain climbing

Dislikes:

-boredom

-rain

-fighting.

-punishing regalias.

-hurting others

-phantoms/fighting phantoms


Enemies: Currently none. Had a brief skirmish with Ryujin but that was resolved. Will be updated as rp continues.

Allies: Fellow Dosojin deities, Chimata-no-kami and Jizo. He’s also friends with Otohime. Will be updated as rp continues.

Shinki(s): Hiname (Juki--necklace), Tatsume(Ryoki--Dragon)

Motivations: The people, explorers, and adventurers he meets on his travels. Nagi is also motivated by his own curiosity and his desire to not see others being hurt.

Aspirations: To see everything the world has to offer. Even after living a seven hundred years, and traveling for so long, Nagi believes there is still more to be seen.

Theme Song:


Other: Nagi is also considered a minor wind diety so he is able to communicate with wind spirits and they tend to travel around them. He can also control them to a limited degree, though he’d rather ask them to help, rather than force them to do anything.

However, I'm also neck-deep in rps, so I'll be honest and say low interest for now. Maybe once the rp starts and a plot appears this may change.

Was that Reshiram I saw in the first picture?

 

[QuirkyAngel]

Was that Reshiram I saw in the first picture?

Tatsume is a dragon and guards Nagi's house in Takama-ga-hara (heaven) while the travel god travels^^

 

[Nico]

I'd be an interest in between Medium and High, I might not have time to read every post, but I'll try my hardest to. I could probably reply once or twice or thrice a week.

I'd be interested in being a Regalia.

 

[Elowyn]

Thank you Nico QuirkyAngel AnimeGenork for your interest.

[still waiting for more people to sign up...]

 

[Lunaria Silver]

I need to watch all of Noragami. I'd say high interest because of my usual activeness level but as I need to get my binge watching on for now I'll say low interest.

 

[Elowyn]

bump

Join noragami roleplay here~

 

[Lunaria Silver]

Alright I've decided I want to be a kami

 

[AnimeGenork]

Thank you Nico QuirkyAngel AnimeGenork for your interest.

[still waiting for more people to sign up...]

Maybe if you put in the title that it's Noragami you're advertising? I know the title threw me off until I actually clicked the thread...

 

[Elowyn]

Done!

Maybe if you put in the title that it's Noragami you're advertising? I know the title threw me off until I actually clicked the thread...

And a little tidbit you guys should know... There will be a bit of an addition to the world of kami!

(more to be revealed later...)

 

[Lunaria Silver]

Ooooh exciting

 

[Elowyn]

Okay, good. That got somebody excited. Where are the rest of you at...?
Can I get any huzzahs?

Just kidding.
But if you want to know sooner rather than later (coughwhentheactualroleplayismadecough) then lemme know.

FYI: Probably going to set up a more recent interest check in a week.

 

[Elowyn]

I also got some coding done for this roleplay, because pretty coding is great.

Which do you guys like better? The blue/white palette or the sunset palette? Depending on which one you guys choose, it'll take on a different mood. (The blue/white will likely give the story a more cheerful and lighthearted mood while the sunset hued one will give it a more serious and dramatic flair. Choose wisely~! )

Please give the one you prefer a "like" or comment. Or both (results in your vote counting twice btw).
