Round 4: Pre-Awakening AUs, Personas and Tarots, Lets Plan!

[galambs]

We've made this post for a very quick round of pre-drive planning. Post the characters that you are interested 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 TDM proper 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 is HERE

Arslan | The Heroic Legend of Arslan

I have some vague ideas for possible au lives, but I'm not too sure which direction I want to go.

I'm thinking either I mirror the canon a little and have him be the neglected child of wealthy parents who care more about their fancy sports cars than their son. In this case, he's probably filling his time with various clubs and school activities. An honor student, on the student council, always willing to stay after school and help out his classmates and teachers, etc. Because maybe if he excels enough that will get his parents' attention. He'd definitely notice the depressing parallels as his memories return. But it would be easier for him to put this life to the side and focus on the mission.

Or I could go the other way and he's got a poor but loving family who supports him. He probably still gets good grades at school and goes out of his way to help his classmates, but is involved in less clubs and formal activities. The spare time here is probably filled with a part time job because obviously he wants to help make ends meet. He's a lot happier in this version, and less insecure, but just as hard a worker. But overall it will make his returning memories seem like a burden, and they'll be much harder to accept.

Like I said, I'm still mulling over my options. Suggestions are appreciated, and not limited to these two ideas. Thanks!

(Persona wise I'm thinking combatant with wind/light? I really haven't given it much thought yet. orz)

I don't know a lot about the series, though I just looked it up and it looked interesting. Very political/adventure-oriented, yes? What I read reminds me a little of the Twelve Kingdoms, if you know that series.

I can say if he's interested in a part-time job, I would willingly lure him to Ran's mother's flower shop. ;)

I adore Twelve Kingdoms! They are pretty similar although the Arslan series is probably a little more action oriented.

Arslan working at a flower shop would be so cute! That would definitely be in line with my second idea, but I'm leaning a little more toward that one anyway. If only because its less like his canon circumstances.
