Hello everyone! I'm Green Rivers, bringing in this big lug. He's Klaus Von Reinherz from the Kekkai Sensen manga.
He's technically a vampire hunter, though that's less and less these days and he more or less helps deal with whatever oddities crop up in Jerusalem's Lot (New York only with aliens and monsters and magic). In his off time, he's a giant sap who loves chess and its Beyondian variant called prosfair. He also enjoys gardening and being surrounded by old people.
I look forward to playing with everyone!

Oh, Skulduggery would love that. Someone who would actually be a challenge yes good.

Klaus will just be so delighted to have someone to play against for the sheer fun of it and no massive stakes.

But I'm glad you're looking into them sdkfjlkdsjf I think this may in fact be my fastest enable ever :D
Does playing chess usually involve massive stakes for Klaus?
ETA: I apologise for the peanut gallery above me.
Except not really.no subject
You had me at 'Skeleton detective'. A detective. That is also. A skeleton.
And yeah, but only if it's Calvin-Chess and if it's against this guy.
Don't apologize for anything.no subject
I'm assuming Calvin-Chess is referring to chess that is something like Calvinball? ngl Skul would be interested in learning it. :3
Oh well in that caseno subject
And yes, Prosfair is basically like if Calvinball were a chess game. It starts out simple, and then the board splits off into smaller boards, or spheres. Pieces can level up. It's like an unholy amalgamation of Warhammer, chess and Pokemon. It eventually gets so complicated it can cause brain damage in normal humans. And it looks freakin awesome.

/badum tishBut seriously that sounds awesome and it would be really cool if Skul could learn it well enough for the two of them to become regular chess/Prosfair partners. Can you imagine the onlookers. ...Actually how do you even play it? Is there a board? Is it a virtual board?
no subject
Oh god, it is awesome. Seeing the Prosfair match animated really cemented this series for me. The 12:40 mark and 17:30 marks should give you an idea of the crazy ass shit that is a prosfair board. Mostly Klaus just plays a simplified version on electronics against normal people who aren't out to absorb other people's brains into their body.
But omg yes, chess spectators. I can just imagine the grouchy old Kedans grumbling under their breaths about what moves they would have made, why are these outsiders so silly, ah young people these days huffpuff!
no subject
... But Skul not having a brain does not in any way mean that he's out to absorb other people's brains into his body, so this should work out well.
Yes excellent. Weekly chess exhibition matches in the Courtyard of Public Opinion where everyone believes they could have taken the position of the loser and done ten times better.
