Ahhhhh crap, aaerdan, I completely forgot about the scene in hell.
But, I suppose if I think about it for a while, I can come up with an explanation....
Um. *pulls something from her 'An explanation for everything hat'* How about....
Houji dreamed the hell scene?

From maigo-chan's: Volume 17, Part 148
(Houji finds himself in a landscape of heaped bones and skulls.)
Houji (thinking): Is it a dream? A vision? A hallucination . . . (aloud) I . . I must have died. So where . . .
Shishio (standing a little ways ahead of him with Yumi): This is hell.

There's also a particularly gruesome picture of Houji after his suicide in his jail cell in the manga.
However, that said, we have made plenty of exceptions for "real" characters we know died, we can certainly do that for the fictional characters of RK - providing the moderators agree. There are some characters that are more difficult to deal with than others.
aaerdan, if you have a serious interest in taking on Houji, the moderators can have a chat about it and you can develop a plausible alternate storyline: Gein made a Houji doll? Gein's (Iwanbou) whereabouts were conviently nebulous just at that time since it's post Shishio and pre-Enishi. Maybe he owed Houji a favor?
Just a thought.
OT: Hmm, fujifunmum does not know how to do an icon on this forum she set up - how *$#%*&$ sad is that? ::runs off to consult with the tech mod::

Peeersonally, I wouldn't mind having an Okina around to tease. Heehee. ::prays that if we ever get an Okina, that it's a -good- player:: He's a lot more complicated than he seems. ^_~
Hmm...other players...remember that little guy that always ordered Fuji around? He would be fun to have in a cameo. I believe he was doing foreign diplomacy work in the end of the anime. Can't recall the manga.
And just for Eiji...how 'bout Senkaku? We have Soujirou doing his wanderer jig, but no one really knows what happened to Senkaku. He struck me as more intelligent than a mere thug or henchman. And there was that scene with...was it Senkaku and Soujirou? I think so. By a river. Or something. ::has woeful loss of memory:: But whatever. ^_~ It'd test Eiji's newfound resolution to move on and protect the happiness of others! (Kenshin seems to have that effect on young people...lol)#nosmileys

Well, actually, Senkaku is dead. Soujirou killed him. But that doesn't have to stop us.

I remember -something- about those two, but I thought Soujirou let him go. Pffft. ::kicks faulty memory:: Maybe I was remembering a scene with Soujirou and Anji? Was there one of those? I'm annoyed now, lol, I know I'm remembering -something-. ::grin::

My two cents.
I personally think it would be a bad idea to have someone like Hoji and Senkaku in the RP. Now if there were something seperate where people wanted to RP the baddies in Hell... then...
I just think it be like having Tomoe suddenly coming back from the dead or something. And then Kiyosato... Jin'e... Aoshi's Oniwabanshuu that got killed... etc.
Of course, then again, Kenshin sums it up best in Jinchuu when he speaks to Saitou...
"This one has gotten use to seeing people alive he thought were dead."

There's at least -two- characters which the mods have discussed that will never come back to life.
Tomoe, and Shishio.
Both of these would just be -too- disruptive to the overall story. The dead Oniwabanshuu I think would also fall into this category. They are just dead.

d**n, guess that means I can't play her then. Then again.... If people can come back from the dead.... Well, you could always just go ahead and ignore history... *cough* I know Takasugi would love to have an Ikumatsu/Matsuko to talk to.

I'd like to do that. That is, if the mods have no objections?

veleda, If you would like to play Ikumatsu, would you please either complete an application for her or write up an explanation of how you'd like to use her in game? We're interested in how you see the character and what you plan to do with her so we can make an informed decision. Please also mention how you plan to explain her presence in Tokyo. (Katura was dead by 1878, so he's no impediment.)
Send it to the mods, no da - then we'll discuss and get back to you. That's the way the process works at Himuragumi!
Looking forward to seeing your ideas for a most interesting character!

*sigh* As much as I'd like to, I may not be able to, seeing as how I know so little about her. I wish I could get my hands on one of Shinsengumi dramas. At least then I'd have some sort of character to work with.
So, really, unless I'm able to get some detailed, specific info on her, it's nothing but a dream.

Regarding avatars: Go to _profile_ at the top of the forum screens and you may direct link to an icon you wish to use by hot-linking in an image.
Veleda, we do try to encourage our players to think outside the box and develop their characters. You should not feel constrained to history with a character like Ikumatsu, and are most certainly welcome to apply for her.
There are, as people pointed out, a few characters we allowed to exist here in this timeline... Shinsaku Takasugi, Ayumu Yamazaki, Okita Souji... who should -not- exist. What we as mods care about is seeing people willing to take their characters and grow them, play them with zeal, and be able to really evolve that character or provide them with direction.
There are enormous benefits to bringing an Ikumatsu in. She would have such an interesting dynamic with the Bakufu characters and you would (I'm sure) have fun either exploring her geisha past, or moving her about in Meiji politics.
I'm so glad you're interested in playing her, and hope you'll not give up so soon :-)

Okay... Hehehe... I know this is umm not the greatest idea since there is a plot running about this which makes it impossible. But what the heck! Let me say it okay!
I want Kondou.. If he comes back from the dead... I want him! ^__^
Alright now that I've said... Pummel me. Kick me and all those nice affectionate things...
