[While stuck in his hospital room for his two week incarceration sentence and prohibited from moving due to the nature of his injuries, Rokurou is left just staring up at the ceiling or out the far window when people aren't coming in to yell at him.
This leaves for a very bored daemon, which is even worse when while he doesn't mind relaxing, said daemon still likes to get out and do things. At this point, he practically welcomes the loud disruptions and lectures. So at some point during the very late hours of the night while people are probably trying to rest, they're going to hear a little tune piping through the crystal.

Parry the blow, a slash from below ♬
And then a stab through the heart!
[And this will just continue and start getting a little more dark and grisly—especially since his "singing" is as if he's at a tavern so it's a bit boisterous and dramatic. FEEL FREE TO INTERRUPT HIM. He doesn't even realize he's sharing this over the amulets, let alone that it's probably not going to help his image (whatever's left of it).
He is very bored and misses his swords dearly.]

⚔️ i. surprise attack
[Do you look like a strong fighter? Is there a weapon visible on your person? Could you perhaps be carrying yourself in a way that an experienced swordsman would notice that you have skill and know your stuff?
If so, then you're about to feel a sudden spike of killing intent with a pair of swords coming right at you in the next moment. DODGE FAST.]

⚔️ ii. black mirror
[Rokurou doesn't really understand the shellphones that much beyond that they are cool devices to communicate with. He also doesn't really understand the importance some may have on them, would that really matter?
Sensing something similar to malevolence and at the very least something with a strong intent to do harm, perhaps even kill, he's quick to act and try to get rid of the source...
...Unfortunately those instincts results in his sword coming out and slashing at the shellphone in whoever's hands. Sometimes it results in the complete destruction of the phone, sometimes it just knocks it out of the hand. Regardless, it makes the spirit inside not happy and the owner even unhappier.]
Hey, I was just trying to help!
[So sometimes he's either having to deal with an angry person, either completely possessed by the spirit or just pissed off because that was their shellphone?? And unlike before, he's not trying to really use his swords against them!! Unless they draw their own then all bets are off but until then!! Maybe some help?]

[Well.
This is unexpected.
Rokurou will just stare at the tether and the person he got tied with and give them a wry grin.]
...Is this normal around here?

⚔️ iv. fish in a barrel (corsair)
[His only experience with merfolk have been the ones in Nilatast, so he's currently under the impression they're dangerous. Even then, he doesn't exactly feel much interest in taking them out when they're weak and vulnerable as they are. However, a job's a job, and he can at least make their deaths quick.
But given the Paladins' involvement, he finds himself engaged more in fighting them off which he doesn't mind too much. In fact he'll just smirk as he takes down another one.]
Aw, that was too easy. Could at least make this a little more challenging.
[Should he try picking fights with the Paladins instead...?]

PLOT WITH ME
Canon: Tales of Berseria, post-game
Armada: Corsair
About: Rokurou is a very laidback daemon with a rather "positive" attitude in the sense that he doesn't sweat the small stuff too much and just rolls with most things. As a war daemon, fighting is pretty much his life and what he enjoys most, with the sword being his
one true lovebelovedfavored weapon. He excels in dual short swords but isn't too shabby with the greatsword, either, and in fact now dual wields those, too. Like I said, sword nut. He follows the role of the "samurai" fairly well, living up to those codes and his family name. Can be super loyal and supportive, will repay any debt he owes, will look out for the younger crowd, and just overall a nice and fun guy to be around, especially at a bar. Loves that alcohol. He can also be a little bit of a fun jokester and a troll. But hidden beneath that nice guy exterior is a dark ball of rage that only surfaces when he's really into his fight. He doesn't like being interrupted. Period. A lot of that rage comes from his hatred for his older brother, but a lot of that has been resolved. He's otherwise pretty chill. (Except around his brother—there is no chill.)One important thing to note is his daemon eye, with the black markings running down his neck. Normally only certain people can see it, but anyone will be able to see it and those who are supernaturally inclined will able to tell right away he's not human. In addition to this, Rokurou has something called malevolence, which is basically a dark, negative type of energy that can corrupt things and turn them daemon. It still exists, but he keeps it contained inside himself so no one should be affected unless something causes him to lose it. You can read more about it here.
Abilities: Rokurou is a strong swordsman capable of dual wielding both shortswords and greatswords. He's based off the samurai, so his weapons are Japanese styled, the shortswords more like wakizashis or tantos, and the greatswords more like odachis. He excels with the shortswords and has trained hard in wielding one greatsword, and from his canon point he just has those three swords on him. However, he defaults to the shortswords more, pulling out the greastsword as more of a finisher. Being from a Tales franchise, he has elemental artes, or skills, but due to the tattoo limitations all the original elements will change to fire based and he'll work to modifying his techniques. But he doesn't really rely on magic spells, just physical attacks.
PLANS
MANTA Board: Here are the ones I think were interesting for him:
Event: Since I have the log I won't be topleveling, but will gladly tag into things!
CR Dreams: Anyone! Rokurou loves a good fight, so sparring partners, rivals, enemies, he'll be happy with them all. Drinking partners are also a plus. He's a very chill and easy to get along with kind of guy, so there's plenty of CR opportunities for anyone, really. As for what he can bring to the table, he's definitely a good "big bro" kind of guy. He is also very loyal to those he's sworn alliance to, so if there's any problems, he's got your back. MY ONE REQUEST for any fight threads is if we could maybe sometimes discuss how it goes and then montage it a bit after the initial start. I only ask because he's going to have so many fight threads I'll get burned out lmao crying.

SHORT ABOUT ME SECTION
He's a very laidback daemon with a rather "positive" attitude in the sense that he doesn't sweat the small stuff too much and just rolls with most things. As a war daemon, fighting is pretty much his life and what he enjoys most, with the sword being his one true love beloved favored weapon. He excels in both dual short swords and dual greatswords. He likes dual wielding anything, really. He follows the "samurai" theme fairly well, living up to those codes and his family name.

He doesn't like being interrupted. Period. A lot of that rage comes from his hatred for his older brother, but a lot of that has been resolved. He's otherwise pretty chill. Some notable features would be his daemon eye that's covered by his hair, and the daemon markings that are on his face and shoulder. It can be seen by anyone, the latter easily mistaken for tattoos and the eye only visible if his hair parts enough and especially when it starts glowing.

Grasslands. It started with targeting some prickleboars out in the grasslands, which have quite tasty meat and their tusks and hide can be useful as well. Although not the toughest, when in groups they can be dangerous as they are not too different from wild boars. Especially when the big one shows up. Large enough to fell trees, this is one tough boar that Rokurou will be all too happy to fight on his own, but if he's already with someone they can help.
Woodlands. One particular target he's going after is the Eggbear, a giant bear with claws powerful enough to take a person out in one swipe and a fist slam that can erupt the ground with spikes.
Always open for other types of fights.]
⚔️ ii. feast: slice it up
Who wants some freshly sliced meat? Won't get it any faster or cleaner than mine!
[He'll even show off a bit, filleting fish and slicing up meat in the blink of an eye. He'll even offer to juice fruits via slicing... A unique technique for sure, but hey, it's still tasty!
Speaking of fruits...]
Hey, think you have what it takes to beat me? Let's see who can cut up the most fruit—while they're in the air.
[Who remembers Fruit Ninja—anyway, With buckets all around to help catch the fallen slices, Rokurou and his opponent will have several fruits and vegetables thrown at them to try and slice up. Only caveat is no magic just pure blades! DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES!?
Or can help clean up the mess that will surely occur, if not caught in it.]
⚔️ iii. crab boss
Now that's a worthy opponent. And probably tastes good grilled.
[The crab is not amused—]

TALES OF BERSERIA
Come oooon THE BERSERIA CAST IS MADE FOR THIS!! THEY'RE ALREADY PIRATES!! Eizen and Rokurou are already settling in, with Rokurou being newer and already getting into whatever fights he can. But now imagine everyone else here and what chaos they could stir up.
Or actually live fun lives, since you know, stuff.
BUT YEAH Velvet, Laphicet, Eleanor, Magilou (and of course Bienfu) it would be really great to see them! And I have selfish request for Shigure 👀
