Round 3: Pre-Awakening AUs, Personas and Tarots, Lets Plan!

[kokuyoyo]

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/players 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.

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 is HERE

I'm fortunately very familiar with Yu Yu Hakusho (it's one of the best series of all time~).

I would be very interested in having Kit as a friend for Nishi. Hopefully, Kit's idea of social things isn't boring otherwise he'll be complained to. I wouldn't peg Nishi as a 'delinquent' per se, but he's not someone that would be a good role model for others. Depending on how old you want their relationship to be, Nishi could even make occasional comments like how he preferred the "old" Kit more.

Kit's idea of social activity falls upon a broad spectrum: doing things that act as a cover and will bolster a "reformed" public image, and then actual illicit activity behind the scenes. His act has cleaned up a little since leaving the juvenile detention center, or at least...his motives aren't as self-serving as they once were. But that was only about a year ago, so if they were friends before then, Nishi will know for sure what Kit was like back then and comments about the change would be totally welcome by me! If something unexpected for Kit to deal with.

[solohunter]

Then I don't think we'll have any problems holding at somewhat active friendship between the two despite the small age gap. I'll have Nishi make such occasional open comments about the reform then, too. He's not really one to hide his opinion whether people are in agreement with him or not. So there's that.

I still need to think of a suitable hobby for him that doesn't involve killing small animals but is equally destructive. Hmmm.

[whitefox]

That's good! Kit appreciates people with spines. Although people who speak too often out of turn will likely get one warning before he shuts them down. He's not really a system of threes kind of guy. But we probably won't have to worry about that, at least not right away.

Destructive hobbies, though... Vandalism comes to mind. Everything from burning things to breaking windows, smashing mailboxes, slashing car tires, and spray painting things. The list keeps going with a "hobby" like that.

[osakanpride]

Ahaha, that MAY happen at least once or twice. More so closer to awakening or something, likely (but things buzz out and stuff by then).

Yeah. I settled on arson this morning. But LOL I didn't think about half the things you mentioned. That's too perfect.

Hobby is probably putting it lightly, but details.

[whitefox]

Mm, that's what I was thinking, too.

Arson, huh? He even looks like the type. Kit might put his "hobby" to use if Nishi'd be willing. Fires act as great distractions and could allow him to more stealthily acquire the things he's after. And as long as no one undeserving gets hurt, he won't complain about how much is actually destroyed.

[osakanpride]

"He even looks the type." I can't believe you said that, haha! OH WELL! If the shoe fits!

Nishi would be more than willing to set things ablaze if he gets part of the cut. Work isn't free, Kit. You have to pay for services. The destruction is just a benefit of the outcome.

[whitefox]

Jeez, Nishi. You're making it hard for him to be an honest thief here.

But alright. Provided the fires successfully distract from the real crime and they don't find themselves in hot water instead, he'll make sure Nishi gets paid. That's only fair.

Good work deserves its rewards, after all. Failure, on the other hand...

[solohunter]

Honest thievery? This isn't Jing, here. xD

Sounds good to me!

Failure will have some legal ramifications. I assume. But Nishi's no snitch, so if he gets caught then you better GTFO while you can, Kit.

[whitefox]

...wouldn't be the first time, probably won't be the last.

If it comes to that, Nishi, he's...almost sorry. Maybe. Not enough to stick around, though. Unless he could be certain he could get them both out of there. Decisions, decisions...

[solohunter]

May as well flip a stolen coin.
