    'it's like being stuck halfway between caterpillar and some grotesque butterfly'

    Tsugiri was a child born from a blending of cultures, to a loving mother and father. As a baby, however - barely old enough to crawl - Tsu was stolen away by faeries in the middle of the night and replaced with an elderly old sprite who sought to live out the rest of his days in the coddled care of two adoring human parents. They believe their son died of sickness at the age of 3.
    Whisked off into faerie by who-knows-what, Tsu was allowed to age on the edge of the realm until the age of ten, learning the ways of the forest and dancing with other fae-stolen children. As a young boy, he was moved to the center of the realm where he and the other children were sold off to high-ranking fae; he had the luck and displeasure of falling into the arms of the Dark court. He remained a child, aged barely older than 10, for almost forty years before wandering back into the human world, left unattended and discarded as an old play thing for some of the dark fae women. Found in a large, national park with no memory of the human world, the boy wound up in an orphanage, left to grow old once more and fit the puzzle pieces together.

    Tsu is a peddler of a magical drug; it's harvested from the blood of fae and induces a mellowing high in the user. The user also gains a minor fae-like glamour for varying amounts of time depending on how long it stays in their system. Long term RP with anyone G can get hooked on the stuff is desirable. <3
    faeries
    True fae, those with faerie blood in them - all sorts. Giri hates fae, for more than a few obvious reasons. (*Cough*Kidnapped by them as a child?) They're also the lifeblood (excuse the pun!) for his little business. Interactions involving blind hatred that can lead somewhere are always interesting for me, and if Tsu can somehow form some kind of tolerating friendship with one, well - don't make me use the word 'interesting' again? C:
    good rp
    Interesting interactions of all sorts! Both IC and OoC, I enjoy random shenannery as much as the next person, regardless of post length or blood alcohol level!

    art
    I do portrait art. I'm often willing to do art trades with artists also looking to increase their skills and gain some OC art at the same time! I do portrait trades, and am always willing to do ports for multiple characters in exchange for larger work loads like reference sheets and paintings.
    I would also love to try doing a collaboration piece, as well! Whether it's a portrait, or a larger piece, let's talk! I love colours!
    offline rp
    With my work schedule the way it is, I often don't have the energy to turn on the computer after getting home at midnight. I love logging online to have a post waiting for me, and I love the ability to send offline messages, to keep RPs going even when your partner isn't online. If you're up for RPing on Skype, Discord, or via RPR PM with any number of characters, let's talk. :3

    'it's because there's power in blood - it's where your soul sits'

    For all intents and purposes, Tsugiri's blood is part faerie and part human, though the dominant traits he takes on change drastically depending on when his last trip into Faerie/Arcadia was. He spent a long time in the Faerie realm during peak development years as a child, and as such, his blood was forced to mutate to adapt for survival. This has imbued him with various energies and skills that take new forms when he re-enters the human plane. For any seeking to feed on it, such as a vampire, it is considered very sweet and very potent - and like the drug he peddles, very addictive.

    'honor is a lie made up by mothers to keep their sons from killing their fathers'

    To have power and not use it is near sin to an Unseelie fae; the only devotion often shown or known is the devotion to oneself. The whims of the Winter and Autumn court are based around instinct, survival, and passion. Tsugiri spent decades as a child growing up in a small off-shoot of the Unseelie court, known as the Court of Shadows. They were a terrifying group of otherworldly individuals that occasionally took human children as pets- living dolls until they grew bored of them. Because of this, Tsugiri has an affinity for shadows, and often sticks to them like glue less out of comfort and more out of instinct.

    'the area that sits between planes - between the veils - that's my realm. the realm of nothingness.'

    When necessary, Tsu can shift into the void - the space between the veils of realms - and reappear anywhere either within eye shot, or a very familiar place. He can shift back into his Hedgespace - his glamoured apartment in the Historic District - at the drop of a hat, as his energy is intrinsically tied to it. Teleporting back from his Hedge is easy enough, too- for example, leaving an apartment Downtown, appearing in his own home, and then poofing back within a few moments.

    He does not void step to appear in any place he is unfamiliar with or has never actually been. This is dangerous and can cause deadly issues for not only him, but anyone that might be near such a landing zone. The ability is rather draining on him, especially within the city's steel, so isn't quick to do it multiple times within a short time span unless it is absolutely necessary. He typically needs a hit of Glamour after such energy expenditures.

    'bet you didn't know you can distill the magic found in faerie blood?'

    Tsugiri sells a very particular kind of drug, and if you're looking for any reason to interact with him, it could be this. He hunts down faeries (read: trolls, nymphs, kelpies - anything with faerie blood) and distills it into a pure and concentrated form of 'glamour', or a faerie's ability to manipulate the way something - or they, themselves - appears.
    In appearance, it's a dark, thick, iridescent liquid in a long, small tube-like vial with an eyedropper for the lid. The effects are primarily a downer - a mixture between alcohol, marijuana, and a pinch of LSD - however, for those with Fae blood in them, the effects are as varied as the user. For everyone/thing else, colours appear brighter and more vivid - all the senses are intensified - it gives them 'the Sight', and they gain the ability to glamour themselves not unlike how a faerie might. They also gain the minor ability to manipulate the appearance (and texture, smell, etc) of more mundane, inanimate objects. [For example, glamouring a shot glass to look like a cupcake, and watching someone crack their teeth on it.] He originally crafted the concoction to assist with the effects of iron sickness within the city limits (in a modern setting.)
         		One administers the liquid into the eye, from one drop up to three; most humans, as he will tell you, can rarely handle more than three drops at a time even for experienced users. There IS a physical tolerance build up like one might receive from other substances, like marijuana, and as such, more will be required for similar effects. The higher one's tolerance grows, the more susceptible to iron sickness they grow, becoming nauseous, weak, and at times delirious around iron and steel- even if they are human. The substance is addictive, and withdrawal can cause edginess, the jitters, cold sweats, paranoia and in extreme cases, hallucinations. Overdosing will cause a multitude of symptoms depending on the amount OD'd; in the lightest cases, people become overwhelmed by the intensity of situations and will suffer a sensory overload and most likely pass out; in the worst case scenario, people have been known to suffer heart attacks or strokes, and in one case, a man threw himself in front of an oncoming subway train - though the precise reasons that pushed him to such a state are still unknown. Tsu will charge different people different prices, as he makes it himself and goes through periods of having different amounts of it available, at different potency levels.
