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

Hihi all! I'm Art, I'm insane to even be considering apping here, but I'm doin' it. I'm probably bringing Byakuran from KHR here if I do end up apping, but I've got few ideas for AUs. Or maybe the problem is that I have too many? He's easy to fit in anywhere, after all; AUs are kinda his thing!

He's going to be a student, that much is certain. Yes, I'm playing the TYE version ignore my icons. He's a little less of a douchebag in that era, so it makes it easier. He'll probably be in a club or two, get high grades despite being a space case, and in general be an insufferable prick when his head's not in the clouds.

Personality... Shitlord of shit mountain in the land of garbage dumps a good summary? He's not as bad as he once was (going to be, TIME TRAVEL BULLSHIT), but your average rabid baboon is nicer than his marshmallow-orchid ass was. He doesn't do nice things for other people without expecting something in return or having an ulterior motive unless the fate of the world is on the line. Which might count as an ulterior motive; he lives there. Sometimes his motive is simple, though. Like shits and giggles or to prove he's not totally evil. Doesn't mean he won't cheat at rock-paper-scissors and semi-gleefully attempt to kill things, though. That's canon.

Oh, and he's psychic and near omniscient in canon. It's a mess.

HELLO THERE I mostly missed out on Byakuran's arc of KHR because I got spectacularly lazy but from what I know I feel obliged to attempt recruiting him for the gardening club just because, y'know. /stares at his username :3c

Currently we have a good handful of members (including Chikusa and I think Yamamoto might gatecrash sometimes, plus a few other accidental friends that drop by), a complex of greenhouses on the Green Valley campus (I assume he goes to GV, what cycle will he be in!), probably some kind of butterfly house annnnd that's most of what we got so far. (We have a flowerfest mingle here, and the prompts are totes open to be used on the TDM because why the hell not. 8))

I SHOULD probably also introduce me and my character, hi I'm Fyre, we've run into each other here and there in James' plurk and I play Lenka here, who's basically your garden (heh) variety quiet-style shounen protag. He's 1st year of senior cycle at GV and an officer in the gardening club, which mostly means he's saddled with all the paperwork. |D

I think I've run into you on Kes's plurk too! And it's ok. TYL arc is a slog.

After giving it some thought, gardening and cooking clubs are probably where he's at. Any chance to surround himself with flowers and sweets. He'll be senior cycle 1st or 2nd year, most likely, as he's about 16, and he's been going to GV a while so he knows the ins and outs of campus. He's planning to be, of all things, a patissier, but this whole thing will probably throw off his plans.

[probablynoteren]

Quite likely! We're hard to tell apart sometimes. :3a TYL is mostly worth it for the grown up babies but I got distracted. One of these days I'll get through the rest. One of these days...!

Oh man, the intersection of gardening and cooking, the golden crossing! Does this mean gardening club gets cake because we have some skinny mofos over here to feed, regardless of whether we're just stuffing them full of sugar or not, sometimes you gotta punch some nutrients into those beanpoles before they wilt. :Ub Also, sweet, that means they're either classmates or general campusmates, good times. Also the idea of Byakuran as a patissier is kind of just great in general, I love it.

[onethousandflowers]

Cake, cookies, brownies, pie, but not marshmallows, those are his. Probably more wholesome foods too, but not as often.

And yeah, definitely at least campusmates. How long has Lenka been going to GV?

[probablynoteren]

Marshmallow hair can have his marshmallow minions! ☆ They are all going to be so keyed up all the time pfffhaha, excellent. I'm also looking forward to seeing how this CR would go, I'm totally curious.

I haven't detailed exactly when his family immigrated to Eddan but I'm thinking sometime in elementary school. So he's been at GV either since then or middle school, somewhere around there.

[onethousandflowers]

Me too. :3

Ah, makes sense. Byakuran was probably either a foster kid or born there, I'm not sure which, but has definitely been in Eddan a while.

[possedere]

Whatever you decide I want these two to sometimes sabotage each other and then turn around and help the other. Also let it become a thing that whenever they need to settle an argument they do rock paper scissors and Byakuran wins 8/10 times.
