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

Yes!

I'm crying. Yuuto staaaaares at it, not saying a word, gladly relinquishes it or just doesn't touch it. He's too lawful to even consider trying it.

Has this face, probably.

FFFFffff the birds are creating more birds. Good lord these birds need to chill out, and not by absorbing popsicles. :pp Who doesn''t love popsicles though. Also your icons are strangely hilarious, his hair is very dramatic. |DDD

I don't think he'd mind hanging out wrt music/band, although if Ankh tries to get him to be a fake tutor he'll find he's Very Dedicated To Real Tutoring so really, it may be more trouble than it's worth. ;)

[blackdogdown]

Guts awkwardly drinks his beer avoiding eye contact. This is good parenting, yes. He's so good at this. He'll give you some money for ice cream or something jesus don't look at him like that.

[probablynoteren]

So basically Fushimi shows his affection by turning your electronic appliances into either Jarvis or Terminator, got it. ☆

Does this mean their S. Link increases as the robot becomes more sophisticated.

I DON'T THINK YOU WANT TO INCREASE HIS COURAGE, THAT'S JUST NOT GOING TO END WELL.

[tacticianing]

You don't have to give him anything, it's okay. Enjoy your beer.

[blackdogdown]

Hey...he is not trying to be a dad. It is just happening. He has no idea what he's doing. Its not his fault people just leave kids alone and trumatized and Guts can't leave well enough alone.

[blackdogdown]

Whatever you say chief. (Did kids stop liking ice cream??? When did that happen?? What is going on with the youth?? Guts wouldn't pass up some free ice cream he's just saying.)

[tacticianing]

It's time for more awkward quiet, yes? Yes. Absolutely.

(Because if he eats too much ice cream he won't be in perfect condition, and that would be terrible! He can't afford to risk letting people down! His worry about this doubled after awakening, help)

[beastfang]

So you say. Genda is going to make certain of this okay. You hurt Kidou, he's going to find a way to feed you to a shadow monster or die trying.


Please just ignore the baby rpg tank he's still learning how to keep aggro off his glass canon teammates still.

[blackdogdown]

Er...yeah... Go right ahead. (You're like 12 calm down.)

Aw. It is ok. We were all smols once.

[beastfang]

He's fourteen, thanks. He's also team mom so he has to hover and be suspicious of strangers around those he claims okay, it's hard wired into him

[tacticianing]

Considering Kidou Yuuto (it's so weird using his first name) would be going through trying everything, he probably took a crack at picking up an instrument at one point, if you'd like these two to have some starting CR.

He's also a decent enough singer (canon | and this because it cracks me up (he's the deeper voice)) so maybe that could be an option. Who knows?

Okay I admit I'm just fascinated by this character and have never heard of him or his canon before. A+ pun on trumpet swan.

[clicked]

Yes. By the end of their S. Link, it will have become a Gundam that punts Lenka into space.

Or maybe he gets in the robot to kill all the titans idk

[connivingbird]

Yup, his Yummies do tend to gain bird tendencies it's kinda hilarious XD. Yes it is very dramatic; the actor has his hair styled and colored for the role and whenever he had to be 'Shingo', he wore a dull black wig. A very bad one too. The hair is just so dramatic and imagine that he had it like that for six years or more.

also paid time ran out so i got some really random faces for his icons it's hilarious

Force Ankh to study just force him. It would result in a lot of 'TCH', glares and him perching on the desk all bird like.

Hi everyone! I'm Coco and i'll be testing out Mako from Legend of Korra! This test drive will kind of be a voice test for me too since I've only played him in a few psls but not in any games yet. Basically in canon he has fire powers and shit (which also comes with a subset of lightning), has a plethora of girl problems early on, and then grows into a pretty cool dude who becomes a detective after proving himself on the police force. He also lost his parents when he was eight and wound up taking care of his younger brother as they lived on the streets. Yikes.

I haven't really figured out his AU background yet, but I'm leaning towards having him be a college freshman going into criminology/law! Uhh he'll also do like some kind of sport on the side, as well teach martial arts part-time! He can also be seen in the library a lot either doing homework or reading a book. Any book. It can be a book for his classes or fiction or something idk he just really likes reading.......

I'm down for any family members, friends, rivals, w/e you want I'm excited for this game!!

[blackdogdown]

It never ends, god it never freaking ends. Guts you antisocial prick say something.


(Hey who said he was gonna get you "to much" icecream. He's not the handouts guy, its a single scoop for you kiddo. Just eat some ice cream and calm down.

Just...ignore that crippling inadequacy kiddo..)

12...14...They are practically identical...u r like a little baby.

But...he's not pushy enough (read: too apathetic) to really try and fight this kid over it. Be suspicious all you want, it's no skin off his back.

also maybe his awakening is telling him exactly how many things he's done wrong in his life and wooo boy maybe nobody should be around him ever??

[tacticianing]

How do normal people do small talk? He knew this until he got in touch with his other self...

(Well, it seems there's no alternative. He'll have some ice cream then.

...He won't say a word about that.)

[clicked]

HI FRIDGE. Fushimi might have been bullied a couple of years back, so maybe he's talked to Yuuri a few times? I wouldn't say he was cooperative though, since he treated it like a school requirement more than anything else.... He just stared at Yuuri until he disappeared probably.

[tacticianing]

He'd rather you didn't go that far...

[blackdogdown]

Jokes on you Guts has never socialized a single day of his life, welcome to his world.

(Indeed, you better hope the place nearby is open, because he really doesn't want to park his car somewhere else.

He doesn't have to.)

[beastfang]

It's fine, everything is fine. You'll never even realize he's broadcasting such thoughts at people. (Sorry Kidou his other self kinda made it a lot easier to just accept he can be just as vicious as possessive of his friends if he has to be.)

[beastfang]

He's never going to win that argument is he?


They can start a club over this really. It will be the worst club but it'll be a thing
