Round 1: Pre-Awakening AUs, Personas and Tarots, Lets Plan!

[cordibus]

In order to do a little bit of planning before the test drive appears, 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.

As the test drive begins, 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

IGNORE HIM

but YES, I can absolutely deliver on soft... assuming she doesn't get too out of hand without Ymir to curb her altruism. 8) Brings Yuuri all the delinquents.

Hey! I'm Kate, test driving with the above Galen with another Rogue One character - Cassian Andor.

He's pretty taciturn and reserved, thanks to PTSD from all that bad shit he's done in the name of the greater good.

For pre-awakening, I was thinking something along the lines of a shady weapons dealer? Someone's gotta sell those fake guns and baseball bats you guys use to beat up shadows, after all. :|b Nothing set for family dynamics or such but I'm open to any suggestions.

Post-awakening, I don't have a lot of plans. Most likely a combatant? He'll definitely be coming in post canon, so remembering he died once but luckily he's very good at dealing with his manpain. I could see him throwing himself into destroying shadows, and depending whatever the overarching plot is, involving himself in there heavily. The idea of child soldiers isn't going to faze him, as a former one himself. Otherwise I think he'd focus on keeping Galen alive??? Anyway, if you've got ideas or want pre-established CR I'm up for it.

P.S. if anyone wants to app Jyn, or any other Rogue One characters we'd love you forever.

History is a fascinating subject mr. I'm Not A Vampire. Heck, if he's older, would he care to tutor this nerd?

[historiae]

I'm totally here for ordinary high school girls being ordinary friends. I'm canon blind, but nothing bad would ever come of that ever, right?

[themortalhalf]

Take your son to work to work day ended up being a terrible idea that the they immediately regretted.

And yeah! I have absolutely no problem with it whatsoever. I don't know what your Plurk is, but you're free to add mine, if you'd like, and we can hash out the final details if you have any ideas/things you want to add/etc.

[plainest]

Yuuri is just chilling drinking tea and Historia drags in some primary kids who've been fighting and crying....

[princessofsociallinks]

...if he puts it that way, "lacks the empathy he believes is required," you're going to have her sympathies.

too much weird jedi shit going on, let's stick to what we know

[mutesician]

Look he probably doesn't like hawks either. Although I'm enjoying the mental image of Louis with a bunch of kids hiding under his wings.

[mutesician]

Honestly neither can I. I kind of want a scene where someone who doesn't realize the connection between his Awakened and AU form walks into his class and suddenly sees a swan teaching.

[themortalhalf]

Now would a toy poodle be Makkachin 2.0 or 1.5?

But yeah! I could definitely imagine all of those! I'm sure Shinji would get "roped in" to help out at the clinic after school once in awhile if that ends up happening. So him running into Yuuri and his possible poodle seem pretty plausible regardless of whether you decide to go on with the school counselor route or not. Even if they don't know each other well, pre-awakened Shinji would still be a lot more sociable and willing to talk, and if he ran into Yuuri later on one of his walks, he'd probably not professionally shun all social contact.

[mutesician]

...I really want you to bring Anghel so Louis can have a bird-buddy. A really weird bird-buddy, but a buddy nonetheless. Or Nagisa so he can encourage his musical side.

[mutesician]

Louis can be his music teacher! Whether current or previous. He can't teach all the music courses, can he? (He probably tries anyways)

[mutesician]

Man, there's probably enough potential musicians in this test drive for him to send them all at her. Do you want a bunch of dudes in your idol group because you might get a bunch of dudes

[mutesician]

Heh, Louis would be pretty impressed nonetheless. And glad that he's still doing music-related stuff!

Hello, I'm pals with fridge! c:

Krista should be in the same grade as him, I think, and she won't stand for any bullying! ...Except, well, when it comes to trying to befriend him. Because she probably will do that, and in that case, get whatever is coming to her.

[historiae]

Shinji's my fave from P3, Krista loves animals, pls be her senpai? I swear that train of thought is all connected.

But in seriousness, she's the type to worry about a stranger, so it'd be easy enough for her to find something to concern herself over in order to acquaint them.

[catchthishand]

Food will be accepted as a bribe, that is perfectly acceptable, yes.

Gauntless are amazing weapons, and Okuyasu will get, uh. Brass knuckles, I think. They can be punch friends.

[probablynoteren]

It would be an interesting hobby! I'm thinking of making it a gardening club affiliated with the school anyway, since I figure Elite School should have greenhouses or plots of some kind, so it totally works. I'm sure the crazy kids will be happy to fill him in. |D Once they figure it out for themselves, naturally.

We always need more researchers and people actually looking into the why of things. Goodness knows the Combatants probably aren't going to be the main force for that! Just point 'em at the samples you need, good sir.
