▶ VISUAL: Official artwork gallery + spiritually powered tattoos on his body.
▶ AURAL: His voicelines. Light hearted, friendly but can occasionally sound sharp.
▶ OLFACTORY: N/A
▶ DEMEANOUR: Friendly, light hearted, speaks like an old man with his choice of words and phrasing.

▶ PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Yes
▶ PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Yes
▶ RELATIONSHIPS: Ask first, since as a tool, romantic relationship wouldn't be his first thought. He can befriend people and get close to them, he won't immediately recognise romance. He can fool around and have sex (casual sex, friends with benefits, whatever), if things lead to that and we both agreed to it.

As for character types, I'm OK with teenagers and younger looking characters. For castmates, that includes tantou and wakizashi. Just let me know upfront, OOCly. Norimune is willing to tease and flirt, but won't go further unless you tell me it's okay.

For Saniwa sages (OCs, AU'd characters), I also ship it! Just let me know the general dynamics and I'll adapt.

▶ PSYCHIC & PSIONIC INFORMATION: Ask first. Generally thinking about what to do next, planning and plotting his next move so he can enjoy his easygoing retirement.
▶ MAGICAL INFORMATION: As a spirit, people with spiritual sense can detect he's not a human. More powerful ones may detect a connection to his sword.
▶ MEDICAL INFORMATION: A perfectly healthy old man. His life is tied to his sword, however. If it breaks, he dies.
▶ OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: N/A

▶ BACKTAGGING: Yep.
▶ THREADHOPPING: Yes, within reason.
▶ FOURTHWALLING: He's named after the first of the Kiku-ichimonji swordsmiths, as well as being strongly aware of the story of "Okita Souji owned a Kiku-ichimonji" (it's a popular story, after all). So those are fine to recognise in general. Just no "you're a fictional character from my favourite game".
▶ OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: N/A

▶ ANYTHING ELSE? The chrysanthemum (the imperial family's symbol) is on his clothes, and on his personal crest. People are free to pick up on that.


For memes, let me know if your character knows his identity as a Touken Danshi/Kiku-Ichimonji or show it somewhere in your tag. Mostly so I know what to make him act and speak as (whimsy old man vs whimsy old spirit).

For people who wants to be his Saniwa/Master, just let me know upfront and I'll adapt! Whether they're friendly, close or keep it business only.

Younger characters (vibes or not), he tends to call people various form of "kid/kiddo/son/young miss/etc". Let me know if you don't want it.

For any Souji Okita, especially let me know (OOC note or in-tag) if he knows and acts as Norimune's master. I'm flexible, just want to know if you want to deal with his complex or not (awkward vs fine).
