Round 2: Pre-Awakening AUs, Personas and Tarots, Lets Plan!

[cordibus]

We've made this post for a very quick round of pre-drive planning. Post the characters that you are interesting in trying out and ask for advice or suggest, or even try to look/entice for castmates! Suggest pre-made AUs where someone from cross canon has been living with you for a while, so when you begin the test proper tomorrow you'll have an idea of what you want to do!

The city of Eddan is like a typical metropolis, your characters can have any job that would make sense in a busy city. They don't have to be restricted to the school, or have a school job.

You are free to continue using this post to plan or ask the mods test-drive related questions. We'll do our best to answer in a timely manner! If you're not sure, don't be shy about asking. There's a lot of freedom!

You can also request to roll for a Persona. You can find information about Persona and the Awakening here. Ask for as many test drive characters you have if you'd like!

If you want to assign your character a tarot card for test drive purposes, you're free to pick whatever you think fits best. Your character's actual Arcana will be assigned after being accepted.

Let's begin! And remember, the test drive will is Already In Progress

Hey folks! It's Eon (again) I played Teruomi on the previous test drive, but I'm trying out a different character from God Eater this time. His name is Julius Visconti and he's the stoic leader type, which means a horrible fate will befall him after you clear the tutorial in good old GE fashion.

I'm thinking of making him a member of the student council AU-wise. He'll be a heir to a rich family and get driven to school, that sort of thing; but he's also hardworking and humble despite his background. He also has a pretty face so that probably entitles him to some unwanted attention in having a fanclub (oops). Like his OU self he'll push himself to the exact limit of his physical health so feel free to have your dudes know him as that one StuCo guy who never seems to sleep. He probably needs a sport too to keep up his figure so he's also up for some games once in a while.

Hit me up if you'd like to do anything!

[probablynoteren]

"a horrible fate befalls them" did u mean like every God Eater main I s2g

That being said Julius PLS CHILL. Also tbh his fanclub can probably meld with the Jun's fanclub (since they'd both be in gardening club) and it would just be one slightly scary fanmass that sometimes swarms the greenhouses.... heh. What is a StuCo guy, this is a new term to me--

Also you know me, if you suddenly think of new additions you want to make to CR hit me. ☆ For the moment I figure Julius & Lenka are mostly gardening buddies and sometimes Lenka has to wonder why all his senpai are either conked out all the time or living in trees. I hope one day he waters Julius by accident.

[bulletbiter]

in every GE game your taichou will die or worse tbh

StuCo = Student Council HAHAH oops sorry if it was obscure slang... and i really want to see Lenka water Julius now oh no

[probablynoteren]

It's so real. Don't be a leader in God Eater, it even rhymes it's that legit a slogan...... |Da

OOH okay that makes sense, please help the gardening club get more funds, OK. Though tbh they're probably relatively well-funded since the city is so Green. Super Green. The Most Green. That being said yes, we should totally have Lenka water him at some point. They can bond over it. And then it happens again-- I mean.

[bulletbiter]

Don't be a leader unless you're a protag, then you're protected by Plot Armour (tm)

He can.... try to get more members? Though whether those people are here to ogle the two prettyboys or ogle the plants is a good question.

look julius has a hair banana lenka will be forgiven

[probablynoteren]

The dubious value of plot armour because that only means you probably won't die...! It does not guarantee anything else. /slowclaps

Ogle the prettyboys and the plants, two birds with one stone! Totes legit club activities. Make that at least 3 prettyboys, actually, Sion is there too a lot of the time. Sleeping Beauty.... www this is turning into Gardening High School Host Club.

It's true. Lenka just wants to help the banana grow...

[bulletbiter]

not dying beats dying in GE since if you die you suffer a horrible fate in after-death limbo tbh

I'M LAUGHING what does that make lenka... one of the host club boys too? they can start a business already

its ok he will glow very soon as evidence of your efforts

[probablynoteren]

WHY CAN'T THEY EVEN DIE PROPERLY what is this canon tbh

It's already a business, they make a bang for their buck selling romantic flower arrangements to the fanclub who will then turn around and... give it back to the gardening club. What kind of terrifying and hilarious circular scheme is this. Lenka is just here to do the heavy lifting, please don't make him deal with the customers (except it would be hilarious so).

Unsure whether this glowing is a good thing............... GE Glowing Trust Issues

Well then, I hereby offer you... a fanclub girl, yes. Ignore the fact that she's probably several years younger than him and thus probably wouldn't even technically be in the same building.

But I mean, really, heir to a rich family that gets driven to school who constantly pushes themselves to the limits of their physical health? Hello, self-destructive senior, I would like to learn your ways!

Speaking seriously, the two probably at least know... of each other purely due to familial social circles.

[bulletbiter]

your liz was fun to play with previously, i'm glad i can tag you again!

clearly all these rich(ish) kids should all be hardworking and fall over in the process... she's welcome to fawn over him though, he's the tall blond and mysterious type if that's what she likes [eyes emoji]

what sort of family is she from? Julius is probably from some medical corporation and he's from italy if that helps

[umbral_idol]

Liz has only shown attraction to protagonists in canon, so it's hard to say she actually has a type beyond "hard-working" and possibly "self-sacrificing", but yes, I will have her fawn over him yet!

As for the famil, uhh... I did not plan out the family at all beyond being "a rich family that gets driven to school and is a high-pressure environment", but let's see... Please wait while I make stuff up...

The Leroy family is basically running a megacorporation that started off in real-estate, moved on to factory manufacturing, and then eventually producing their own cars and vehicles. What really made them a powerhouse in Eddan however, was their contributions to public transportation, and these days many of the electric cars, busses and subways have the crown symbol, marking them as Leroy brand.

Ironically, Isabella is claustrophobic and as a result can't actually use public transport on the basis of it being too crowded.

That being said, what with being a "generic megacorporation", they probably dabble in a bit of everything. If it can make the company stronger, it will be done! The family itself is technically french, though.

[bulletbiter]

Julius meets both of that criteria so let's roll with it anyways /o/

I was thinking of making Julius' family produce medical supplies/biological equipment so they could have easily crossed paths at business meetings. He'll have to start attending them now due to being the prospective heir and all (unsure) so they could have met at that point? :O

[sociallyarcward]

Oh cool! I was wanting to make Jaune a member of student council, but no one really seemed to be pulling student council students so it hasn't really come up yet.

I'm also not sure how it would work with different years--does each cycle have a separate council or do we get to make just a giant school council? I'd be cool with some established CR in that realm either way...I imagine there has to be SOME crossover work.

[bulletbiter]

I'd assume there is only one school council but the higher cycles have more members, proportionately. :|a they could just work in the same department or something

[sociallyarcward]

True, true. I mean you WOULD want them all coordinating, so that would make sense.

[bulletbiter]

yeah!

Julius would probably be in the finance department, would that work for you?

[sociallyarcward]

Sure -- I have no idea what role Jaune would be in. Haven't thought it out that much XD

[bulletbiter]

I'm canon blind but Jaune seems like the PR kind of guy? So he could be outreach department or just the sort who talks to people a lot

[sociallyarcward]

Oooh. That wouldn't be bad at all, he IS pretty social.

[possedere]

Not set in stone yet, but I might make this guy a part of the student council because he is nosy and loves being in positions of power. Even if he doesn't end up joining the student council, I'd like CR anyway since I'm sure he'd like to keep a close eye on anyone who looks like they might be useful. o/

[bulletbiter]

sure thing! julius is kind of... not a fun guy to hang out with though, he just read books all day long if he's not working

[possedere]

It's fine! Depending on what he needs from him, Mukuro can just chill and read books to gain his favor or try to get him entangled in his schemes. o/

[bulletbiter]

Sounds good! I can't guarantee successful manipulation since Julius is very goal-driven + he's Justice arcana type of dude, but if you're okay with that, lets do it o7

[possedere]

Honestly, I would love for Mukuro to fail at it because he is terrible at hiding his intentions for anything longer than five minutes so I'm totally down!

[bulletbiter]

ALL RIGHT! we can make it happen. a rivalry (?) sort of even, maybe?
