Nakahama

It's been a blast! One hell of an introduction to all of you, and an experience I'll cherish for the rest of my life!

I preface this thread by thanking each and every one of you, I had been in a very rough spot emotionally after some personal circumstances, and while it was a rough start for me this game became one of the branches I could hold onto to get my ass out of the mud. Iam doing wonderfully in comparison to when it began and it's all thanks to all of you wonderful writers.

From the bottom of my heart, thanks to all of you!



Now, you may have an autograph as a token of my appreciation~

Sorry to hear that Rl no Oni was chewing on you so hard, I'm glad things are better now. You've had a real fun energy on the discord, and I'm glad that we managed to at least get one thread in, even if I had to practically drag you there.

So what is your plan with dealing with Kuni Sumie?

How long are you staying in Nakahama?

What would you have liked to have gotten to do had you had more time?

I loved Hinata and your posts, mate! And I'm glad that you're feeling better. A true gamer always feels better with... gaming. This is the way.

What a fun character, always a pleasure! How heavily was Hinata based off the Sharky Hinata? (Beyond the obvious )

I enjoyed our scenes! I was initially thinking we might have a romance, but other flirtations happened for us both.

Will you spend time on Nakahama after the game's 12 days end?

Oshidama partner!!!!!

As I was the Hinata in the previous game I admit to continual confusion whenever your name is mentioned.
"How is Hinata there when I'm like, here . . . . I don't understand?????"


Sorry I didn't post much after we won. Hope you enjoyed your half of the beers we won!

Glad to have met you, and I look forward to playing alongside you some more!

If Banner continues, will Hinata return (possibly as a Kuni, possibly as a plushie)?

The current plan is to spend XP on jiujitsu to avoid being caught in a grapple by her. This includes raising water to also outrun her. Alternatively changing Hinata's wardrobe to something more Crab so he'll look lamer.
The terror still lurks in the corner of Hinata's eye though.

Having decided to go through with a relationship with Sumiko, bit with obligations on the island, my guess is he'll need to stick around a few months. With he tries he wants to build a beach side sporting goods store, surf boards, swimwear, oshidama gear, hopefully sponsor the annual tournament alongside kinswka breweries.

My original angle was going all in on seducing Ayame. But my first attempt at the introductions event had the dice betray me so hard it knocked the wind out of my sails. By the time I'd gotten back my mojo Senshu was already infatuated with Ayame, and while I was aware fitting myself into the schedule wasn't off the table I still felt it'd be more fun if it was Senshu's thing to be doing rather than Hinata's. Asides they, flirting more! There are many a fun character to throw charms at that I didn't find the time or energy to pursue!

Besides the Crane heritage and the easygoing personality it would be the underlying ruthlessness they've been trained for, but their arcs where thought out as wholly different.

Jirozame Hinata's arc was wholly revolving around coming to terms with the brutality inflicted on him during his upbringing and finding the strength to be honorable despite the ingrained ruthlessness of his clan. Also went through like 3 different overarching possible stories with Rat so that kinda muddied the waters XD.

This Hinata was very much just around to have a good time. No Gentry, no real focus on skills that were wholly useful for the game, I was just gonna flirt and charm my way through the story! But Iam glad I had the opportunity to share so many serious moments and conversations with other characters!

I thought so too! Scorpion on Crane is a classic, I'm not fussed about it not panning out, fun was found by whichever means it could be acquired!

Hinata does intend to stay a bit to help Orchid Department establish it,'s new branch in the planet. But he's hoping to be freed soon so he can help Sumiko carry her plushies around the Galaxy!

Team Shirtless!!!

I'm sorry The PlagueTM got to you, but our interactions were very fun! I bet most of the audience got jealous of Bayushi Hinata getting slapped in the ass by a Pop Idol. Hinata is an exceedingly rare name for male characters, it is both why I like it so much and why it was so funny to be regularly reminded "Oh! Like that OTHER more FAMOUS Hinata!"

It was a LOT of fun interacting for the tournament, and really helped kick off my enthusiasm for the game, couldn't have garnered the confidence to do the things I did after D6 without your help!

It was fun running into Kisha and realizing just how different she is to her influencer persona. Real "peek behind the mask" type stuff! I'd love to play some more, and will be keeping an eye out for whatever game comes next!

Circumstances notwithstanding, I'd love to reprise this role. If the next game has intervening years he may return as a Spider or a worried newlywed husband fussing over his wife's ever growing plushie collection. Hinata is a character I quite loved playing, being able to jump from flirty to funny to serious to being the butt of the joke is quite liberating.

Just wanted to note that I'm glad you joined us and fit in so well! Always a pleasure to see new blood for Sumie.

Thank you for joining us and for embracing the abs. Abs are very important. Hinata might get an invitation to guest-star on ABS, soon-to-come from Silver Fin Productions.

How much Unlucky and Bad Fortune did Hinata have?

Thank you for the threads! They were really cute, and I had a lot of fun both threading with Hinata and watching him grow as a character in different threads!

Now the question back at you - what would Hinata's parents think of him bringing a Spider of all people back? Are they going to approve of their son falling head over heels for the enemy or think he's under some kinda maho curse?

It'll be hard to shake off Secret Love, but I've had a wonderful time running away from her as she stalks Hinata into every possible thread! Iam very thankful for the invitation, and will continue to strive to live up to the group's expectations!

Glad you enjoyed the abs, I really thought Kanna would be more susceptible to Hinata's charm, but I find her being resistant to his brazenness more interesting.

Hinata is actually LUCKY, it's just that Iam unlucky and it only secured me a roll twice during the campaign out of the four uses I got out of it. I took Secret Love day 1 and I was starting to ask Boogie by day 5 if she'd rather just drop it entirely for convenience, and completely Uno Reverse card'd my ass with Sumie, whom I had suggested, naively, could make a possible Secret Love... I had no idea!

It was flirty, it was sappy and it was sweet every time!

Hinata's Crane father would immediately welcome Sumi, he's a complete golden retriever of a person and would let Sumi into their lives with open arms. Mother would be far more resistant, but rather because Sumi is stealing her special boy rather than anything regarding origin. They were both PCs in a 5e game that had a very sappy romance where Wasuke slowly broke down Akira's walls until she developed feelings because he was the first person to treat her as a person rather than a member of her clan.

Akira MAY consult with a shugenja just in case. But Wasuke spent time on the wall, so with an equivalent experience in Stars he'd have learned to identify it!

Hinata is very much a Good Feels character, he's not entirely devoid of texture but he's a labour of love hell bent on spreading it.

I just realised that Hinata:

1. Fell in love with Senshu's girlfriend, aka friend who happens to be a girl (Sumi)
2. Almost romanced Senshu's girlfriend, aka friend who happens to be a girl (Haruhi)
3. Wanted to seduce Senshu's girlfriend, aka friend who happens to be a girl (Ayame)

Is this personal, Hinata kun? Should I buy you as a disadvantage in the next game? Bad fortune (rival by mistake)?

Don't forget the audacious flirtation with a certain Miya...
