fanlisting?

definition from tfl.org itself

A fanlisting is simply an online list of fans of a subject, such as a TV show, actor, or musician, that is created by an individual and open for fans from around the world to join. There are no costs, and the only requirements to join a fanlisting are your name and country. Fanlistings do not have to be large sites (although some are), they are just a place where you can sign up with other fans. - TheFanlistings.org

 

date masamune (historical)

the founder of sendai

1567-1636: Son of Terumune Date. As a child, he lost an eye due to illness, thus earning the nickname 'Dokuganryu,' the 'one-eyed dragon.' After his father's death, he was victorious at the Battles of Koriyama and Suriagehara and greatly expanded his own sphere of influence. He overcame many obstacles - from the bad blood between him and Yoshiakira Mogami to dispute over the family estate - to expand his control over all of northern Japan. After Hideyoshi Toyotomi's death, Date joined with Tokugawa in the Battle of Sekigahara.

date masamune (sw style)

"you imbeciles!"

The Masamune portrayal in the Sengoku Musou/Samurai Warriors game can be debated on being accurate, but seeing as how most records recall him as "fierce, young, aggressive, and hot-blooded", I feel that the game really knows how to capture his motives and nature; even if it's exaggerated just a bit. In SW, he manages to really outdo a lot of the other characters with his ever-growing ego, and doesn't seem to care about anything else but himself (perfectly accurate - he served both Toyotomi and Tokugawa), and manages to befriend Saika Magoichi along the way. While SW is based off of historical events and historical figures, it's also really, really fictional. The fact that the Saika Renegades allying with the Date is purely fictional - and fictional can especially be found in SW1 where Masamune somehow "drops in" on other battles uninvited (example: Ones involving Nobunaga) like a reckless child! Masamune is.. also one of the characters that looks particularly young. In the first game he looked .. thirteen? Almost? And now he's grown up and looks around eighteen, maybe nineteen? Anyway, he can be a lovable arrogant brat when he needs to be. Want more? See below.
