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

Yo, I remember seeing what I think was an interest check for this game on plurk a few months back and I was happy to see you guys are actually doing it, so here I am.

I'm thinking I might try apping Yamatonokami Yasusada from Touken Ranbu here. He is the favorite sword of Okita Souji and is a bit obsessed with him, but he's a good kid. I've already got a general idea of his AU/Pre-Awakening background. Orphaned at a young age, bounded around various foster homes until he was finally adopted by a really nice guy he admired a lot, but then that guy died and now he's emancipated at 16 and living alone (if that's actually allowed, if not he could have ended up with yet another foster family). So basically a loose equivalent of the history of the actual sword. >>; He's also in the Kendo club is there is one. I'm not sure yet whether Yams is going to be from Hanamaru yet or not. But, either way, that's what I've got so far.

Does anyone wanna plot or am I late to the party? I saw some other Tourabu peeps around here.

Would Yams like to share an apartment/building with Naki and Tsuru....

[mockingbirb]

Oh, I also forced Okuyasu to move into the same apartment building. So there's more! That reminds me...

[mockingbirb]

Okay. Hey.

No matter who you end up apping, would you be interested in having them share an apartment building with Tsuru, Okuyasu, Naki, and maybe Yams? Okay, it's a very tenuous connection, but think about it! Even if it's not much initially down the road there's a ton of possibilities: awkwardly meeting each other while taking out the trash. Having to crash in someone's apartment while their roommates/family are gone to talk business. Awkwardly creating a fake AD&D game night to cover for why they're suddenly hanging around each other all the time. One of them angsts: the others all end up caving, getting a grocery store sheet cake, and knock on their door. "Hey...look, we're all here for you. We got a cake. Will you let us in?"

So. Yeah! Let me know.

[enlightenedokitastrike]

Sure, same apartment building works for me. XD

[mockingbirb]

I just forced Lenka into it too and I'm working on Pearl/Jaune/Hughes, we'll find out what they app. Party apartment building! Like I told the latter, imagine: Yams is locked in his room, angsting. Then a bunch of people are knocking going, "Look, we got you a cake. It's...it says happy anniversary but it was cheap. We got it at the supermarket. Can we talk? It's chocolate." "I hate chocolate." "...vanilla! Vanilla."

Anyway.

Hi.

Make a tdm post so we can hassle you later!

[mockingbirb]

Okay, before I forget, apparently the apartment building has our two dudes, but now Lenka, Naki, and Yamatonokami all live there and I asked the person apping Pearl, Jaune, or Hughes if they want to move in as well.

This is why I need a toddler harness.

[catchthishand]

The thing is, you did this to yourself.

Also, there should probably be some form of a rollcall post-apps, just to see who all of us are neighbors, and to figure out general impressions.

(like- 'oh, you're the brat that plays loud music at nine in the morning on sundays, what the hell are you thinking')

[enlightenedokitastrike]

Aw, he doesn't mind chocolate. Whether he'd want company when he's brooding is another matter. XD

Also, hi.

I just posted a top level. Hassle at will.

[mockingbirb]

It's the truth. I had one crew...I could tell you stories. I probably will at some point.

But yeah, agreed. That's a good thought. Once the dust settles I'll probably grab everyone and go okay, so, what is going on here meet and greet time and we can design the apartments too.

[catchthishand]

The most wild of plurk pps, figuring out what AU'd versions of our characters are like in terms of noise levels and cohabitation schedules.

[nowprocessing]

Hey all! I'm Noka, and I'm contemplating... well, three characters. Mostly because I'm great at decisions.

I was considering either Boxer, from Transistor or Ayano Tateyama from Kagerou Project. I'm pretty much expecting to LCW no matter what I do SO eyyy.

Boxer is canonically nameless & processed into a huge sword and used by his girlfriend to utterly destroy things, and I was considering having him play out similarly here. His name is probably something he doesn't easily share or otherwise buried under the nickname "Boxer", and he'd be a rough and tumble sort who mostly exists on the underbelly of Eddan.

Despite all of that, most of that's because he doesn't like being on records. He exists as someone who literally erased himself off of digital records and disconnected from his home city, so he'd probably be doing the same here... or once he awakened, repeat the process.

I'd need a mod opinion, but I kinda wanna have him transform into his Transistor (sword) version at night, and have a navigator persona, where he's basically a weapon that acts as a navigational guide, as in canon, with the major downside that he can't move around on his own (or his Persona has to carry him around, which would be funny and fitting tbh).

And Ayano... Ayano is a teenage girl who's very upbeat and happy and has a horrible sad backstory I'm not going to get into, but I probably wouldn't change much about her name/life either. She'd just be... well, herself, though maybe her Eddan-self would be more quiet and demure, and be more friendly to people.

I'm totally open to being tugged toward either of them, though I'm reaaaaaally feeling Boxer tbqh. Anyone wanna plot, potentially? I'd enjoy having him have some pre-CR and/or have a person who's willing to be the wielder to his Transistor.

[sociallyarcward]

That could be fun! And if nothing else a good excuse for CR outside of school.

Right now my plan is likely going to be Jaune as first character and then if I feel like I can handle two I will app in Pearl. Jaune I just have a stronger grasp on voice and he is SUPER friendly so he's easy to get involved with stuff 8D

Been having a lot of fun with our threads, so excuse for more of that in game is a win.
