Character: Majima Goro
Canon: Yakuza

Majima is a yakuza, or exiled, ex-yakuza depending on which point in time he hails from. His prequel self can be described as repressed and a bit solemn due to being confined to a civilian life as punishment for past insubordination. As the manager of a big time cabaret he helped make famous, outwardly he appears to have everything a person could possibly want: glitz and glamour every single night, an endless flow of revenue, and the company of dozens of beautiful hostesses. The problem, though, is that he'd really rather just be fulfilling his oath by busting heads for the Tojo Clan, therefore he hates almost every second of this classy act, with the small exception of the ride or die comradery he forms with his staff.

Then, the rest of the plot of Yakuza 0 happens, and

Majima casts off the shackles in a big way. He decides to stop giving a fraction of a fuck and start having all the fun, crafting a new and deliberately batshit persona that earns him a fearsome reputation as the Mad Dog of Shimano. His (occasional) brains and (occasional) good samaritan instinct still reside behind the mask, but all that most people ever witness is a guy whom they're never really sure whether he's actually gonna behave like a pal or force them into a brawl for the joy of it.

The current plan is to TDM 0jima, taken from a hot second before he flips the Mad Dog switch. If I do go forward with apping, he'll have being trapped again to mope about, but inevitably the switch will still flip and the shift'll be played out for a taste of both worlds. That said, I'm open to any canon point up to Y5.

EITHER WAY, to conclude this essay, all Majimas are extraordinarily passionate about karaoke and knife fights.

yes please. i love majima. yakuza 0 was soooo good.

yeah!!! 0 is still my favorite of the bunch.

Knife to meet you ; )

I hope that you join us!! Majima is so good.

Full disclosure, I only just recently returned to DWRP and found out about prisma a short while before apps closed, so honestly I've been breathing on it since last month. I really hope things mesh, too 🙏

that's totally fair! i'll definitely hit you up on the tdm! welcome back to dwrp!

pls

I'm here for any ex-crime family folks.

They might not get along initially but I think they have similar(ish) backgrounds that would be fun to look at. I'm canon blind but def gonna hit up that TDM post.

~~overwatch is actually the reason these replies are rolling out so belatedly~~

Anyway, I super appreciate & look forward to it! Friendly rivalries, ex-yakuza with dragon motifs, and Majima already go hand in hand in later canon. That said, Majima in his Y0 state is much more chill, so we're just gonna have to see what happens 👍

Haha nice. Who do you main? (or more reasonably who are you most often forced to play?)

Hell yeah. I'm definitely going to give a Y0 playthrough a watch. Or at least the cutscenes to get a better idea. Either way I'm down for positive CR, negative CR, or anything in between! Though deep down I want Hanzo to be reminded of his crime family roots.

Lots of Zen lately, because if I have to fill heals I cannot not be aggro.

If you pull one up and skip around to the dialogue sections, you should be able to get the gist without missing out on too, too much context. While the combat segments are great fun, they're maybe a bit less fun when you aren't the one in control. At any rate, I hope you enjoy! 80s gangsters!!

And Maji can definitely, definitely remind the hell out of him. If his face doesn't give away his profession, he has an obvious, extensive piece of irezumi that's pretty telling. And his intentions are very much opposite to Hanzo's to boot, in that he's chomping at the bit to return to his own family.
