⯌ Backtag So long as we're not full thread necromancing, yes.

⯌ Fourthwall No thanks.

In-Character
⯌ Physical Contact Casual physical contact is completely fine with Tachibana! Flirt-y physical contact less so.

⯌ Mental Contact Feel free, though she probably won't like it!

⯌ Flirt Go for it!! She will be various level of flustered or panicked.

⯌ Fight You will win instantly, girl has NO ability to fight at ALL. 1 strength 1 dexterity bay-bee!

⯌ Injury Anything lasting longer than the scene it's in we should really discuss OOCly.

⯌ Death Let's talk it out.
Abilities
⯌ Status Tachibana can view the status of herself and others. The displayed information includes name, occupation, level and stats corresponding to strength, agility, intelligence and luck. In addition to that, it shows the subjects active and passive skills.

Opt out in the comments if you wish her unable to view your status screen - it will glitch out in that case.


⯌ Peerless Beauty On top of physically being a beautiful young girl, this skill instantly charms everybody who looks at her. This skill has a limited effect on nudging people's tastes to suit her form, but overall its effects seem to vary based on the victim's orientation and romantic inclinations - people who are typically attracted to women will fall in love with her hard and immediately, but people who don't seem attracted to women will tend to view her as some other type of love (somebody to be protected or pampered, somebody to be worshiped, etc.) And even when they're attracted to women, if their view on love is skewed, so will their love towards Tachibana - a shrewd politician might only view relationships as a means to gain power, and thus view Tachibana as a way to gain power through marriage, etc.

Attention doesn't NEED to be positive. There have been cases where people with no personal attraction to her view her as beautiful and spark hostility from it - a woman jealous of her beauty, or a gay man who views her as a rival, for example.

She HAS regained this skill IN A WEAKENED STATE. At its current level, its charm effect can induce something to the level of minor infatuation, or the platonic/jealous/etc equivalent. Opt in or opt out in the comments - it will never quite match up to full canon, so people with sufficient willpower (i.e. potentially your character) can resist it fully.


⯌ Troublemaker Makes the user frequently get into trouble by unknown means. Currently NOT regained.

⯌ Blessing of the Goddess of Love (Max) When losing control, carried away, or feeling particularly free-spirited, Tachibana feels liberated and loses some level of inhibitions, acting more in line with what the Goddess of Love views to be acceptable. Currently NOT regained.

Character Name: Tachibana Hinata (Japanese order)
Canon: Life With an Ordinary Guy Who Reincarnated Into a Total Fantasy Knockout (Fantasy Bishoujo Juniku Ojisan to)
Canon Point: After Volume 5, chapter 68 (which should be around where the anime season ends too)
History: The actual wikipedia page has episode summaries for what's out of the anime, but that's about it. So have a real history section!

Tachibana Hinata is an average 32-year-old office worker. If anything set him apart, it was the friends he kept - or specifically, his best friend, Jinguuji Tsukasa, an incredibly handsome, insanely talented, level-headed, and freakishly adept man that Tachibana grew up with.

Tachibana and Jinguuji became friends as children, when Jinguuji saved Tachibana from some bullies. Tachibana always respected Jinguuji's strength, good nature, and skill, and saw him as a hero. In return, Jinguuji was drawn to Tachibana's friendliness, openness, and ability to draw others to him.

Then one day, heading home drunk after a mixer, Tachibana wished he could be reborn as a pretty girl so that he could be as popular as Jinguuji. A goddess overheard his wish, and transported Tachibana and Jinguuji into her world, where she gave Tachibana the body he had wished for - a peerlessly beautiful girl - and declared that Tachibana was a hero meant to defeat the demon lord.

Unfortunately, her new body was laughably weak. But Jinguuji was there, ever Tachibana's hero, and strong enough to stand up to anyone and anything that would threaten her. The powers Tachibana was given, more like curses, caused a lot of problems - including causing a lot of confusion between her and Jinguuji as they began to fall for each other. Was it because of Tachibana's charm effects, or...?

They've been through a lot in their new world - learning about their powers, fighting monsters, fighting more monsters, leading a revolution, even fighting each other. But in the end, their bond always paves the way for their triumphs.

Before arriving, the last things Tachibana did were pilot a giant fantasy-mech against Jinguuji, have an extremely tear-fueled heart-to-heart, find out about the demon lord's location, and then... suffer the Charmed effect herself upon seeing a shirtless Jinguuji. And then, she gets to wake up somewhere strange and new... again!

Personality:
Tachibana wants to be friends with everyone - this is something that was true for her childhood, adulthood, and even more recently. In school, she was surrounded by friends. At work, she was always trying to befriend her juniors. And in the fantasy world she was reincarnated into, she still makes friends easily, making every attempt to be sociable with those around her.

She's genuinely friendly and kind. She'll be the one to say they need to save somebody, or help somebody in need, even if it's not practical. And it's not heroism, she just immediately jumps into doing the right thing because it's the right thing without thinking about it.

The flipside to her friendliness and good nature is that Tachibana hates confrontation. People being upset with her or disliking her upsets her, and she can't deal with it. Even people being upset at OTHER people upsets her, making her feel like she's on the receiving end herself. That's one of the reasons she tries so hard to smooth out social situations, calm everybody down, and settle things peacefully. It might be a negative, but it's led to a useful skill for her. Especially with Jinguuji - it balances out, since Jinguuji is very stubborn and refuses to compromise.

She does take it too far at times, though. She has no pride when it comes to pacifying somebody, completely willing to take blame, grovel on the ground, or just, in general, refuse to stick up for herself. This is another place where having Jinguuji with her balances things out, since Jinguuji will stick up for her when she won't stick up for herself.

Another sticking point with Tachibana is her jealousy. When she sees people that have something she doesn't, she feels jealous, wishing she could have whatever it is - skill, popularity (in romance specifically,) dashing good looks. She feels like she doesn't have anything good actually going for her, and when she sees the things she desires in others, it can lead to darker feelings.

So it could be said that Tachibana doesn't have a lot of self-esteem. This is true. She doesn't see her own good side, and fixates on the negatives when it comes to herself. It doesn't help that her best friend in the world has everything that she wishes she had - even when he views her as the best.

Under it all though, Tachibana has fairly average habits and tastes. She enjoys video games and manga, has fairly typical tastes, enjoys going out and drinking and always has some beers on hand. But she's always looking out for others and that's what counts.

It should be stated that as an on-going series featuring a genderbent protagonist, the final verdict on Tachibana's gender isn't in. She claims to be a guy, and it's possible the series will end with her returning to her original body. But given several scenes about the matter, and her general willingness to engage with (plus ease and lack of distress in) appearing and acting female, I'm rolling with a "trans woman whose egg hasn't cracked" reading, but willing to course-correct if more information comes out in the manga later.

Time of Arrival to Kaisou: Present day, present time
Items: Her travel outfit (pink jacket w/ ribbon, white dress, black leggings, fingerless gloves, boots, boxers) and her magic... tiara-thing (effect: makes people's eyes pass over her unless she draws attention to herself. I'm unclear if item effects are also depowered, so please let me know, but I'm fine either way.)
Retained Ability: Status: Tachibana can view the status of herself and others by summoning up an old-school RPG-like interface. This display exists in real space and can be viewed by others. The displayed information includes name, occupation, level and stats corresponding to strength, agility, intelligence and luck. In addition to that, it shows the subject's active and passive skills.

In addition, Tachibana operates on a sort of RPG-like logic. When afflicted by a status effect, a small display (also visible to everybody around her) will show the status. She can gain "EXP" and level up, though the rules for it are unclear. The only stat Tachibana has that will grow is Luck - Intelligence remaining firmly at 50 and both Strength and Agility are locked to 1.

...I don't think this is powerful enough to warrant weakening, since it doesn't help in any meaningful way. Maybe she's just put back at level 1.

Special Note: Tachibana's main canon "power" (curse) that she'll likely regain fairly shortly is called "Perfect Beauty" - it basically charms everybody who looks at her. Extremely - to the point of causing a horde of bandits to fight each other to the death over her, or have a village worship her like a goddess. I plan on putting up an opt-out/opt-in when she regains this; explaining it as not being regained at quite full strength, so people with more willpower can resist it. But feel free to advise me if I need to do anything else for that.
