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

cats can stay pure, temperamental and beautiful

just like vore machines

[mockingbirb]

Please.

HE'S READY FOR THIS TEST OF COURAGE

[kokuyoyo]

He is a good Kokuyo murder garbage child

But that works for me! Chikusa might be a dorm kid and spending a lot of time in places like the library, because social skills are still hard sometimes. Probably things about plants and engineering and stuff.

Totally ignore it when he starts asking about books on venomous animals and stuff. It's fine. He's fine.

[mockingbirb]

It's important for the future in which he'll have to level grind to fight off the various ailments he'll end up getting. Important level grinding.

side-eyes Tsuru's persona

[cordibus]

I'd like to say that these are both 100% possible.

Is her Persona gonna look like a clown okay no now I'm just thinking of IT

[kokuyoyo]

Future thread, probably:

> Chikusa: ....Didn't I make a half assed attempt at killing you once
> Yamamoto: lol it's fine!! :D :D :D
> Chikusa: ....*Are you sure*

But yeah, drag this nerd to some sort of social event and, in return, he'll help your grades not be a lost cause, Yamamoto.

[neverbeentogeorgia]

ginkoooooo touches unhelpfully,

Yamamoto Takeshi, Test Persona Request!

[pouringrain]

Persona
Branch: Combatant

Type(s): Ice/Wind

Style(s): Protector

Passive: Dual

[beastfang]

Listen, as long as he doesn't have to explain anything to the police or the faculty, Genda couldn't care. Well don't kill anyone in the library because it's hard to get the smell of dead people from the books.

[probablynoteren]

I'm crying are you making him an app developer. Wait, didn't he do something with apps in canon, I'm so out of the loop when it comes to Y K Project tbh.

THIS TOO IS TRAINING. HIS AGILITY WILL INCREASE DUE TO THIS SOCIAL LINK. And I guess Fushimi's Int goes up except Persona doesn't have an Int stat. What the hell is this S. Link really.

[connivingbird]

Yeah, Cores and Cells made by alchemy and using the essence of greed, an elemental force and an animal. Ankh is birds + fire and his color is red. He is also such a grump srs just so much a grump, but not so much in the AU.

Also you want a floaty monster bird arm? Here's a mock up of it with the hand holding Ankh's Taka Core Medal. And here's Ankh eating his favorite treat the wrong way note the eye on his hand.

[deathboss]

Yeah I have to agree that is the best username I have seen for Makoto shit.

Those all sound like good choices uh go with your hearto I think maybe Sakura sounds fun to me. Or Maya but that's like...10% bias speaking there so take with a grain of salt.

[probablynoteren]

WHAT KIND OF VORE MACHINES HAVE YOU BEEN FONDLING, SENPAI

[kokuyoyo]

I've been settling on Chikusa being a dorm kid of the school, but only having recently made the move to mostly living on his own. Probably in that time, he went to check in with the counseling department because homesick issues, and then oh! Guess what you have depression/anxiety issues of the lowkey variety.

So probably, since he's 14/15, a few years ish?

Test Persona
Weakness: Electric & Fire | Strong: Wind & Ice

Boost (Attacks are 25% more effective)
Dodge (Doubles evasion against attacks.)
Stone Feet (25% less chance to be knocked down from a knockdown or a critical hit)
Counter (10% chance of repelling Physical attacks)

[spontaneouscombustion]

NO, NO PENNYWISE EVER! (Pinkie hates evil clowns and Five Nights and the like, they give the good clowns and kids' animatronics bad names.)

Actually, I'd been wonder WHO her Persona would be, and whether to use Equestrian or a human lore base. I thought maybe Iris, but that'd be more suited for Rainbow Dash than Pinkie... (This just in: mun overthinks things when she's just going to play on the test drive for fun.)

[pouringrain]

Their friendship is going to be amazing.

ALSO WOW LITERALLY THE GREATEST FRIEND HE COULD EVER ASK FOR. you are saving his career in baseball - or at the very least keeping his coach happy. Not that it won't stop him from doing that stuff anyway, if Chikusa didn't, but STILL. :D

[waycuter]

We believe in your Fushimi apps.

Also -- I'll grab you later this evening to hash things down. PP or Discord?

--actually I don't have your Discord (do you have one).

[probablynoteren]

DAMN it's been literally ages since I've seen Angel Sanctuaries around, I keep trying to finish the manga because Kaori Yuki is fucking amazing in general but I keep failing. One of these days. But I'm excited to see chars from the canon here!

(what the heck is your backstory, Kira, no matter how many times I see it it doesn't make sense)

Anyways, I'm guessing he's around college age? This kid is high school, but depends whether they both attend Green Valley or are in the same general vicinity. I'm looking at getting him into gardening and flowers, so I'm sure Kira will want a good number of bouquets for his lady parade. :U

[autorejoin]

(Ask Gil how long Kira's history section is.)

[kokuyoyo]

Don't worry, he inexplicably has knowledge on how to best hide dead bodies, it's all good.

[tacticianing]

Oh man. I'm going to be deeply hoping I get to keep this set if I get accepted... Reach Out To The Truth fits him perfectly in the most horrible way.
