Daisuke Jigen

mors certa, hora incerta (death is certain, its hour is uncertain)

(Character Entry x Lupin III: Run n Gun Character Entry)  Master thief Arsène Lupin III's closest friend, right-hand man and skilled sharpshooter, Jigen can perform a 0.3-second quick-draw, providing pinpoint accuracy that borders on near superhuman abilities. The more pragmatic member of the group, he has a cynical streak a mile long and a temper to match if you provoke him enough.

Trivia

He is Bisexual with a heavy but privately kept leaning towards men.

Jigen is the tallest member of the group, but is also the oldest member of it as well, though not by much, being only a few months older then Lupin.

Because of his knack for professionalism, Jigen is often designated as the "big brother" of sorts for the group, and often serves as the voice of reason for much of his partner’s impulsive actions, especially Lupin’s. Despite this however, he is often willing to be laid back enough to go along with most of his partner's schemes. 

He and Lupin’s favorite pastime is playing chess or cards with one another.

Much like most of his background, Jigen’s racial origins are often a mystery to many who know him or have heard of him. Because of this, several rumor’s in regards to his past have popped up over the years since his days in the mafia, including some about his racial origins, with the most popular being he is of Japanese descent or at least partially. This however is false, and only Lupin knows his true background.

Jigen’s actual origins despite all the fancy rumors is actually extremely simple. Despite what many may think they know, Jigen is actually an Italian-American descendant who was born in the Bronx and had originally moved to Japan whilst on the lam. It was there he adopted a Japanese identity and name. In a surprising turn of events, this information happened to actually confirm one rumor in particular that his name “Daisuke Jigen” was not his original name at all and was instead a pseudonym instead, as the word "Jigen" is often the conventional Japanese word for "dimension", and not an actual name or a word that is commonly used for one. Despite this, no one knows what his actual name once was or if he still even uses it from time to time, and he doesn’t seem to be willing to spill that information freely. In fact he seems just as content to take it to the grave with him.

His honorific El Lobo was actually coined to him by a Spanish crime family syndicate sometime after officially joining the mob full time. Originally, it was mostly given for his unparalleled hyper-lethality which made him all too famous in the underground crime world as well as his habitual habit of “looming” around in the shadows. The title has since stuck.

Jigen defer’s to Lupin a lot. If someone approaches the two of them for... well, anything really, his response will normally be, “ask Lupin, he’s the boss.” This is often because he just doesn’t like dealing with people even though he probably already knows the response Lupin would make by heart.

While he can be rather dramatic and get it in his mindset that he's not meant to 'settle down' and enjoy life, Jigen, if given the chance, can be the most easy going as well as romantic POS in the vicinity if given the chance to do so.

He was often said to have been an “extremely” awkward kid growing up. While he was not in school for long in the Bronx, during the times he was he was noted for being too silent and too tall for his age and was often regarded as being socially inept. This didn’t change much when he transferred schools and went to Japan.

He actually really despises being a leader. With certain scenarios, Jigen has no problems with just taking temporary leadership over the gang or any other group for that matter if he ultimately has too. But all in all, he’s more of a follower than a leader who refuses to rule over something for a long period of time. Despite being a follower however, he’s not afraid to speak his mind when he feels situations are getting out of hand and will outrightly question certain decisions, not out of stark disobedience, but simply out of concern.

He is the only one out of everyone lupin knows, who knows the truth about The First, and has kept the secret of his whereabouts and identity a secret for Lupin’s sake, even from the others.

While he wasn’t much of a “big time reader” growing up, his favorite book set was actually the “Arsène Lupin” books by Maurice Leblanc. This eventually lead to him being a big Arséne the first fan during his youth. Imagine his surprise when he met the Firsts actual Grandson

While he does not shy from starting loud firefights in public places, he will actively try to ignore civilians or politely tell them to flee in order to minimize innocent casualties and focus more on the target(s).

Does not handle stress well at all. Often disregarding or pushing away his feelings, he has come to develop a plethora of unhealthy coping mechanisms over the years, mainly of the alcoholic variety. Out of all of them, his most normal and healthy is when he goes down to the shooting range/open field away from civilization for hours and where he can unload magazine after magazine until his hands are numb and his ears are ringing.

He knows how to play guitar and he’s surprisingly really good at it. So good in fact that it use to be said he could probably make a career out of it. . .sadly that fell flat.

He suffers from persistent back pain/sciatica due to the same train accident that blinded and scarred his partner. However similar to Lupin, he has learned to deal with the pain in his own ways, which, while not the most conventional, actually help him a great deal.

He has/had 2 extra siblings. He has a sister, as well as had a slightly older brother just a few years older then him who had been tragically killed sometime after Jigen officially started his “work”

He’s actually the one who introduced his sister to her first husband. He regrets having done that. Though he doesn’t regret the niece and nephew he got out of it.

He is a (barely) functioning alcoholic. But thankfully he tends to be a happy drunk when he’s in a good mood, but also a brooding sad drunk when he’s not.

Is actually a school drop out. He never went back to school when middle school ended (Lupin Zero) slowly fiddling out of the school system after the train accident and Lupin’s “death” until he just gave up and started working full time, much to the sad disappointment of Isei.

Goes by many nicknames. Few include Scarecrow, Chief (LIIIRNG), jiji, Mon étoile (Lupin), Wolfie, Tallboy, Stilts.

Jigen is Far-sighted, can still hit his targets with no problem, but if you hand him something to look at you know he's gotta hold it out a bit.

He’s not that much into makeup, but he does have a thing for black nail polish. He won’t wear it during a job though, so he has little opportunity to wear it.

He and his sister are the last of their family line. While they had a lot of family friends growing up, they didn’t have much family. This is also said to be the main cause of the rift between him and his sister due to the years of separation between the two of them, with their last interaction being the situation that happened between Jigen his sister and her ex-husband while their parents were still around. His sisters kids are considered a blessing, meaning that the idea of them having a normal family is still possible.

He has often regarded the years separated from Lupin and the first during his younger adult years as “the worst years of his life”. He regrets having left in the first place, knowing that his life would have been easier had he had just stayed with the old man, seeing as Isei had offered him a job if he wanted it when he got older and had asked him AGAIN shortly after Lupin’s “death” before Jigen had left.

Jigen and Lupin only call each other Daisuke or Arsène interchangeably when situations are dire, the pair have on a “first name” basis with each other shortly after they started working together, and if there’s ever a reason for them to use a name outside of that, it’s a clear indicator that something is terribly terribly wrong and they need to get the point across. As a result of this que, Jigen has become so intuned with things truly going sideways IF and only IF  Lupin uses his name “Daisuke”.  Even in the times of faking his death,  Lupin only ever called him “Jigen”, but the moment he calls him “Daisuke” is when Jigen knows shit is real and that Lupin isn’t kidding around about things cause he’s being formal. 

Jigen and Lupin share a matching blood-type while Goemon doesn’t. It has came in handy. Knowing how dangerous and how prone accidents are to happen during jobs, Jigen and Lupin share enough blood between one another that Goemon has taken to calling them “blood-bonded” which isn’t that far off the bat considering how close the two are actually and have been getting over the years. As a side note as Lupin is usually the one taking the brunt end of all the shit that goes on (either by his own fault or someone else’s) it's usually  Jigen who ends up on the giving end. 

Jigen is incredibly head shy- he doesn't like people touching his head/face unless it's absolutely necessary. But it's not just because of the hat, he just uses that as an excuse. It’s mainly because due to him being a gunman he’s extremely protective about his eye’s. Even the permanent loss of one eye can drastically screw with his depth perception and when your entire life is based around looking down the scope of a gun it’s no laughing matter. So far only lupin has been allowed to touch his head intimately or otherwise because he has the most trust in lupin. Because of this large bond of trust, forehead presses or face touching tend to be drastic indicators of how close the pair are to one another, since it seems only Lupin can get away with doing it. If it's not Lupin, expect Jigen to be tending to his own head-wounds by himself.

Just as their hands reached for the prize, a sudden click made them freeze. ‘Don’t move,’ a gruff voice spoke behind them. They took a deep breath, holding it for a few seconds, before calmly exhaling, ignoring how fast their heart was beating. How did I not see him? They cursed themselves.

Shipping Information for Muse

tagged by: no one I just found it floating about

tagging: @beautivile @love-me-in-lifexhate-me-in-hell @bleep3 @pupperofulster

Answer the following for your muse so people know how shipping works on your blog.

What is your OTP for your character?:

The original pairing I had for this muse was Adelha X Ukitake back when my rp was on Facebook. Although I did have a special OTP pairing with Addy and a Franken Stein page. To which I enjoyed their interactions and blossoming love for the whole time the rp was going on. As for shipping here on Tumblr, I am a happy supporter of Addy X @thedemongunman since they are a darling and wonderful pair.

What are you willing to write when it comes to shipping?

Platonic tends to be the norm usually. Occasional familiar ships have popped up. As for romance, it really hasn’t happened save for the above mentioned Jigen blog. I am multiship on this blog. And as long as their is chemistry between muses and communication between muns, I am more than happy to see where rp plots go.

How large does the age gap have to be to make it uncomfortable?:

I am figuring this is referencing romance / intimacy ships. The mun MUST be over 18 for me to even consider letting Addy get married to their muse. (since that is the only way the muses will be in an intimate relationship) The muse themselves must also be of legal age. Other than that… It’s kind of hit or miss since Adelha is over a hundred years old, being half Water Dragon and half Vampire in her main verse. In other verses where that doesn’t apply (example: Fate Grand Order) she is around age 24.

Are you selective when shipping?

I can be. Since I have had several people over on Facebook contact me with ‘an interest in shipping’ which became clear it was in actuality ‘a quickie brothel visit’ so I am wary. But as long as you are a mutual and I have gotten time to really rp with you and IM with you, I am willing to see where the rp plot heads and how the relationships work out.

How far do steamy moments have to go before they are considered NSFW?

Okay, this is going to be VERY specific. If there are buttons coming undone and hands groping certain places, then I expect for it be under a Read More. Basically if they are getting into the foreplay before the door gets locked.

Who are the characters that you ship your character with?

Addy X Ukitake via Facebook group. Addy X Ichimaru from a rather long private rp where Addy saved Gin from Aizen. (some day I will get to writing it out as a full fan fic) Addy X Franken via private Facebook page. Addy X Sasuke from an rp I did over on DeviantArt. And currently Addy X Daisuke on the blog for @thedemongunman. Addy X Jayden (my own OC) is a canon in my backstory lore.

But I also ship Addy with Urahara. And my main facfic novel I wrote years ago was a love square dilemma with Adelha, Vash the Stampede, Nicholas Wolfwood, and later on adding Father Abel Nightroad into the plotting of dramatical fluff. (It’s Kingdom Hearts meets anime so yes it is possible SHUSH!)

Does one have to ask to ship with you?

Always! I want to know what we’re getting into and what the intentions are behind the request. So IM me. I’d expect this of anyone on any blog for any ship request tbh.

How often do you like to ship?

If it’s the right relationship and fits the plot, I will ship. If it’s a crush Addy has, then I will be quite happy if / when that particular muse shows serious interest.

Are you ship obsessed or ship more-or-less?

I used to be. I’d make OCs just to ship with another mun’s muse back on Facebook. And I do keep track of what ships I have with what muses I came up with. (notebook is like soooooo full of notes and diagrams holy cows and sheep much)

Are you multiship?

Yes. I will do multiship. But each ship will be set in it’s own universe / storyline.

What is your favorite ship in your current fandom?

Bleach: Isshin X Masaki. / Ichigo X Orihime. / Rukia X Renji. (and for my own rp experience I OTP Uryu Ishida with my OC Alma Oaklends because OMG they are adorable together!) Naruto: Naruto X Hinata. Log Horizon: Naotsugu X Marielle / Isuzu X Rundlehaus Code. dothack//G.U: Haseo X Alkaid / Haseo X Atoli. Fate series: Kiritsugu X Iri / Shiroe X Sakura / Archer X Rin / Shiroe X Rin / Rama X Sheeta / Antoinette X Mozart / Asterios X Euryale (they make such a cute happy fluff couple)

Finally, how does one ship with you?

You mainly ask. After that, I see if and where such a relationship (be it platonic / familial / romantic / enemies ) would fit and where such would go.
