Chapter 2 [Video/Action]
Aug. 2nd, 2012 04:06 pm [It appeared in the depths that suddenly replaced the floors of House 44 earlier that week, after the cryptic yet very annoying comminication from the Malnosso. It was a Shift, Viral knew, and he was thankful that he was largely unaffected...
However, recent events in the woods have kept him near the village, and a recent fortune telling kept him even closer to the residents of House 44. It wasn't Adele or Helios that he was concerned for, but Sabriel. The two of them had an understanding of the sort that was held between warriors, and he had come to appreciate her companionship over the last few months.
But observing Helios cowering on a floating chair the other day, seemingly fearful of the beast that lurked in the depths of their floor--now ocean--had set him on a hunt. The giant squid was slain...
But it came back.
After a few days of slicing it, shooting arrows into its domain and rending its very flesh with his hands, Viral was thoroughly annoyed. He wanted to end this. Now. If he had to call in aid, so be it. He wanted to see the beast defeated once and for all., He threw a video feed up on the journals to show the residents exactly what he was dealing with. Maybe visual's would call in more aid.
Good luck with the agitated beastman, Luceti.]
Anyone in the village who is interested in a fight, I have an offer. There is beast called a 'kraken' in my house, and it has refused to stay down.
Any assistance will be repaid in full at a later date, under any conditions you want.
I just want this thing gone.

[It was raining, something that rarely happened in the arid region of the Far East on his homeworld. It was raining when he pulled himself up out of the mud three days earlier with a soreness in his shoulders and a baffling block of missing time that he could not explain. With his immortal body, sleep was optional and even unnecessary--the last time he slept was over seven years ago, just before the fall of the Spiral King and his army.
The black out bothered him more than the wings, but his inherent pride as a warrior and a beastman kept him from more than a cursory question here or there over the journals. Soaked to the bone and thoroughly irritable about the information he absorbed via the strange journal that arrived with him, Viral finally emerges from the silence he had built up around himself.
The video feed opens to the beastman sitting in relative comfort in a shabby fort he built for himself amongst the fallen branches from the winter. It was obvious that this wasn't the first time he had broken his needless exile, as the new feather pants had been traded out for his comfortable travelling gear, including a very ragged brown cloak and an equally worn red scarf. Though dry for the moment, his hair was still tangled and not fully cleared of the mud.
Clearly his isolation was more important than finding an apartment. Though, if pressed, he would explain his thoughts on that manner.]
[Very Broken Filter away from all possible members of Team Dai-Gurren]
Luceti. I am Viral. [Pronounced like the word 'virile.' There's a subtle pause, either from the inherent awkwardness of this or his noticing that the filter is terribly broken.] If any of you here have ever encountered someone by the name of Simon [pronounced 'see-mon.'], from a place called Jeeha Village, who also calls himself 'the digger' and is currently ranked at High Commander in our world, if you have met his brother Kamina or any of their friends in Team Gurren or Team Dai-Gurren, I will not ask you to disregard anything you may have heard about me. Whatever they said is likely true.
[From a certain perspective and point of view.] I only ask that you keep an open mind.
Also, is there someone on this network who can explain why the animals are talking? Does the rain normally last for this long? [Another beat.] I've been here for a few days now, so I understand enough, but this climate is unfamiliar.
[With that he ends the feed, not wanting to say much more. Though tempted to just shut the journal, his questions about the local fauna and climate are pressing enough to be a bother. He's there, in the woods toward the west. Feel free to find him.]

--TL;DR aside, Viral will be an anchor for Sabriel to be AU'd to his universe, where they are rivals and, later, grudging comrades. Additionally, he will be compelled to act as a classic Knight in Shining Armor and rescue Princess!Billy Kaplan from a wicked foe.
Babysitting children may or may not be involved.

Apr. 17th, 2000 12:42 am Character Name: Viral
Fandom: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann--Post Time Skip/ Pre Dai-Gurren
OOC:
Backtagging--Sure. It's probably better for me if I don't get into an RP frenzy, because then nothing else in my life gets done at all. Also, it gives me a chance to think over what I want to write and how I want to write it. I like to be thorough
Fourthwalling-- Go ahread, but don't be too overt about it.
Threadhopping or Threadjacking-- GO FOR IT!!
IC:
Hugging-- Go ahead, try it. You'll have a Beastman that's gone stiff as a board if you're female, or get him to snarl and reach for his cleaver if you're male
Kissing-- Go ahead, try it. Same disclaimer as above.
Flirting-- He doesn't do flirting well, but go ahead. Expect denials, and flailing if you enter his personal bubble
Relationships-- We could try, but it would be extremely hard to manage given his general aloofness, startling innocent ideas on love, and his deep bound honor. He's immortal and will outlive any lover, and by his very nature is unable to have children--it wouldn't be fair to the other party
Fighting-- Yes. Viral was a Vice Commander in the former Human Eradication Forces under Lordgenome, and is a frighteningly capable fighter both in and out of his mech. He's fast, he's strong, and he will not die. I cannot stress that enough.
However, for canonical reasons, if the person displays sufficient will and determination the odds are stacked against him. Go ahead, but he will make sure that the fight is remembered.
Slapstick-- Of course, his reactions are hilarious.
Injury-- Yes, though the only thing that would be lasting damage to him is his wings.
Killing-- PM me first, but the only efficient way to kill him is by tearing off his wings. With him being super-regenerative and a frightening opponent, good luck getting there..
Mind Reading-- Go ahead; he has no natural defenses against it.
