flame breathing
IMPORTANT
⇀ I am very busy and dealing with a lot irl, so responses of any form can be slow. I don’t normally drop threads but I take a lot of time to do them to avoid burnout.
⇀ Muse =/= Mun and my portrayals are entirely my own. I put a lot of thought and care into my characterization, and if you find yourself wanting to adopt headcanons as your own please ask me (only for in-depth headcanons or analysis posts).
⇀ Regarding Chesh/Dev/Uppertwo/Upperthird/9thform's prior posts.
Following
⇀ This blog is Selective & Private. I am very picky with who I follow & will only roleplay with mutuals. You can still send asks if I’m not following you, however.
⇀ If your rp blog is a side blog, let me know.
⇀ OCs & self-inserts are 100% accepted here, but please have an About.
⇀ I love following & interacting with people that write the same character as me.
⇀ If you don't want to interact or have me follow you, please hard block me. I am very forgetful sometimes of who I follow, and have mistaken being soft-blocked for me either unfollowing accidentally or not recognizing the url and refollowing.
⇀ I don’t follow personal blogs & will block them if they reblog threads or spam my activity.
⇀ If you write NSFW with underage muns, muses, or you age up characters for NSFW purposes, you will be blocked on sight. This includes situations like Sabito and Rui.
Roleplaying
⇀ Each interaction takes place in a separate verse unless otherwise plotted out by all muns involved.
⇀ I format my posts, but that doesn’t mean you have to.
⇀ You don’t have to match my length, but I won’t continue roleplays if I’m writing paragraphs & getting one-liners in response.
⇀ You can drop threads at any time & understand that I am allowed the same.
⇀ Plotting makes it easier for me to write threads, but it isn't a requirement.
⇀ I will do my best not to unfairly harm or control your character & I trust you to do the same. I will also try to avoid overstepping boundaries, & will adjust replies accordingly on request.
⇀ I prefer if any threads where either your muse or mine is going to be greatly injured be plotted out beforehand.
Portrayal
⇀ This portrayal of Rengoku Kyōjurō is trans & my own interpretation of his character.
⇀ The main verse of this blog portrays him as a demon, changed into such by Akaza, though the events up until their canon fight are unchanged.
Shipping & NSFW
⇀ I only will ship with someone I feel comfortable with & only if our characters have chemistry.
⇀ Don’t force ships on me. If I get uncomfortable with how your muse is coming onto mine, I will drop the thread & possibly cease interaction with you.
⇀ I WON’T WRITE NSFW SCENARIOS WITH MINORS, UNDERAGE CHARACTERS, OR AGED UP CHARACTERS. Do not fight me on this or lie about your age.
Misc & Art Credit
⇀ Header edited by @heartassault. All icons and other graphics are edited by me & from the source material.
⇀ I do my best to avoid ooc drama, but when it comes to callouts of harmful persons I will reblog them, with proper tags.
⇀ Don’t put me on a pedestal, call me senpai, or in any way idolize me. I’ve seen this behavior in the past & it never fails to make me heavily uncomfortable.
⇀ I tag triggers the best I can - please let me know if I miss one. For me, just tag eye gore & infections.
⇀ I don’t usually send in passwords, but if I follow you, I have read your rules, & if I thread with you, I tend to double-check rules before I reply.

⟼ Enhanced Strength

⟼ Enhanced Speed & Reflexes
Has great speed and reflexes that could even cause tremors to the ground and nearly launch a train off its tracks by running at speeds faster than the eye can see.
⟼ Enhanced Stamina & Endurance
Even when exerting himself far beyond his limits, he manages to continue going and keep even powerful demons at bay for far longer than a normal human could. Even if receiving fatal wounds and injuries, he manages to hide any visible discomfort.
⟼ Enhanced Senses
Has incredibly honed senses, to the extent that he is able to detect demonic presences faster than most others. This ability also allows him to precisely gauge the regenerative abilities and weaknesses of most demons.
⟼ Tactical Intellect
Has access to generations of combat knowledge and tactics as well as training. He also possesses great knowledge in the use of the Total Concentration Breathing, knowing how to plug minor wounds and hemorrhaging.
⟼ Indomitable Will
Has an undaunted spirit. Ever since he was a child, he has inculcated indomitable will and passion in himself due to his promise to his late mother. In the face of death he still stands tall, prepared to protect the lives of innocent people no matter what.

⟼ Eighth Style:
⟼ Ninth Style: Purgatory: A devastating dashing slash initiated from a high stance, the technique has enough power to carve a deep impression in the ground where it is used.
General Info & Notes
⟼ While remaining mostly in line with canon, the versions of Kyoujurou that are written will follow my own personal spin on things - mainly the idea of him becoming a demon, or the idea of him surviving his fight with Akaza.
⟼ A reincarnation verse will be written as well, though I will not write the ‘‘canon reincarnation’’ that we see in 205 for my own comfort, nor will I be shipping with any muses that base their verses on 205. Please understand this. My reincarnated verse is based around the Kimetsu Academy extra involving Kyoujurou (where he is a teacher). All of the aspects of my verse were decided on before 205 and under the assumption that Kimetsu Academy was going to be the canon reincarnation verse.
Verses
i won’t run from this - hide away until the day is through
⟼ demon.
⟼ Following the idea of Rengoku unwillingly becoming a demon in his fight with Akaza, due to the demon’s blood coming in contact with his injuries.
⟼ He does his best to avoid eating or harming humans and at worst scavenges corpses, something that still pains him greatly but keeps him alive.
⟼ A visual reference will be shown eventually, though the biggest changes in appearance are as follows: two small horns atop his forehead, flame-like patterning where Akaza wounded him in his fight, larger canines, and a soot-like appearance on his hands that gives his forearms the appearance of being charred. Charred areas 'crack' and glow like lava when he uses his flame breathing, and steam rises from his body and from his breath consistently.
i can’t help wondering if i’m running out of time
⟼ post-demon train arc.
⟼ Follows along with the source material for the most part, diverging only through headcanons. Takes place specifically after the Demon Train arc.
⟼ In this verse, he’s injured greatly during the fight with Akaza, but is saved. He has retired from being a demon hunter, but still involves himself the best he can in training newer ranks.
⟼ His injuries prevent him from breathing techniques and has left him visually impaired, though he insists on battling regardless, and has occasionally gone out to kill weaker demons despite being requested to take care of himself.
a rose-tinted tomb and a ghost staring back at me
reincarnated.
⟼ Following the concept of Kyoujurou being reincarnated, he is now a substitute teacher with the dream of becoming a history teacher someday. Along with this, he’s a popular twitter/instagram model, though this remains a hobby - teaching is his passion. More info tba!
Basics
⇀ Hello, I’m Vox! I’m a 26 year-old trans demiboy & use he/they pronouns.
⇀ I suffer from a lot of things right now and alongside that I am super busy. I have been newly diagnosed with BPD, and also suffer from dysthymia, cluster headaches, chronic tendonitis, and an ED.

⇀ Alongside this, I am the host of an OSDD system with at least two other alters that I am aware of.

For personal reasons we will not disclose info on the other alter.

I own one cat, named Ryo. He's around 11 and a rescued stray.
Two ball pythons! One is a pastel named Moshi, who is 4 years old and a very mellow boy. The other is Calliope (Callie for short), a normal girl that is 3 years old.
I love talking about my animals but don't open conversations with them unless asked, due to some being common phobias.
Interests
⇀ Currently I'm super into a lot of things, and I'm just putting the biggest things down here in case anyone else is and wants to talk about stuff.
