โ Your character finds an injured okami deep in the woods. Its leg is broken, trapped under a fallen tree, but itโs clearly in good health otherwise. They know this type of youkai is able to discern the morality of their past actions, and can turn hostile to them based off that judgment. What do they do?Even if the creature werenโt an okami, Dabi would most likely leave them be. The only thing that might tempt him towards this atrocious one-time act of selflessness was if he felt there was anything to be gained from it, either for himself or for his long-term goals, but even that is a bit of a long shot. Given that he is both aware of the spiritโs nature and how it would most likely judge him for his storied, villainous past and summarily become aggressive once freed, this would be a hard pass for him.โ Your character's worst enemy asks to meet alone by moonlight in a remote location, to discuss temporarily banding together against a larger threat. How do they respond to the invitation?Dabi would most likely agree to the meeting, gain every scrap of knowledge he could about the location and anything else that might be tactically useful to him, and then set to setting some sort of elaborate trap or betrayal of trust that would best suit him and his aims. He wouldnโt believe that there is any โlarger threat.โ He has not been shown to be malleable in the slightest in his convictions; conversely, he has taken every opportunity in the past to make an absolute scene of situations in which he can gain the upper hand through deceit, trickery, or surprise.โ Your character has the option to lead a rampaging oni away from path where it would find and attack a lone, inhabited farmhouse. However, the only road they can distract it down leads to the city, where it will inevitably do more damage. What do they choose to do?He does absolutely nothing, because he couldnโt care less.โ A shrine of a powerful god offers your character a unique boon crafted to overcome the biggest challenge theyโre currently facing. In return, it only asks to be able to possess your character for a 24 hour span of its choosing, which they will not necessarily get warning for. How do they feel about the exchange, and more importantly, do they accept it?This is an offer that Dabi would take. He believes strongly that a single person with a single powerful enough conviction can change the world so, to him, this would merely be an avenue to actualize that belief. He has a history of dedicating himself to others in a similar way so long that he believes that it will serve as a stepping stone towards his own goals. Dabi came out of relative obscurity as a villain to join Shigarakiโs League of Villains, and though later he claims to not give a shit about any of them individually or Shigarakiโs overarching ambitions, he remains with them because they are useful to himโjust as he has been useful to them in the past. Considering he has been one of Shigarakiโs underlings for several months, giving his body over to a god for just twenty-four paltry hours would seem like a trade too good to pass up, especially if it would tear down hero society once and for all.
