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'm Dynast, and I'll be trying out Iyo Yamaguchi from Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun/My Little Monster. Her canon's pretty normal so she doesn't have any magical mystical powers (she wishes she does, really) but she makes up for it with presence! That is to say, she has boundless confidence in herself and isn't that easily shaken though she's also kinda petty at times.

Also: She falls in love very easily with tall, mysterious, handsome strangers. (Her brother never approves of this)

Her AU self won't stray very far from this, and I've noted down the most obvious things:

- She'll be the little sister of Fushimi Saruhiko (clicked) and niece of Mikazuki (munechika).
- Second year senior-cycle student! That makes her a junior, I guess. Decent grades, but not top of class.
- Rich kid with parents who are pretty well known within the upper layers of society. She rarely gets to go for gatherings though because her parents consider her too young? She's in high school now, damn it.
- She used to be a chuuni. Used to. (Still secretly is) If you were in this school back in junior high/lower cycle, you may have witnessed this monstrosity.
- Clubs-wise, she'll gravitate more to culture clubs, drama club especially. I'm not really sure what other clubs there are currently in the works otherwise, but pitch it to me and we'll see?

That's pretty much what I have at the moment! Hit me up for friends/schoolmates things? Maybe you run a shop she normally goes to (despite her background, she's cool with hanging out with friends in arcades and what not). I'm open to everything.

but how tall must you be to be a tall, mysterious, handsome stranger

also Naki's gonna be a junior too, they can be classmates...

[waycuter]

--I had to actually go look up her height. Anything over 5'7! She's tall.

And yes, of course! Will he still be communicating via fox sign language or will he have re-found his fox for communication? This is important.

[foxhands]

She's taller than him....Naki's only 5'4! He needs platform shoes now.

I dunno if he can get his fox but he'll definitely be using fox sign language once he's awake! is she gonna fox back

[waycuter]

She's gonna think he's weird.

....and then she'll sign back but it'll probably end up translating into something like bark insurance table subwoofer.

[foxhands]

he's an accidental chuuni please don't judge

He doesn't speak real sign language but hey, she's trying!(??) They can have a totally nonsensical signversation, it'll be great.

[waycuter]

And after she'll be all "So you understood what you have to do now, right?" because she thought he was asking about after school duties or something. She was trying to be helpful...

[foxhands]

He understands absolutely nothing, sorry Iyo.....he should learn actual sign language though, I'm gonna put that on my list of goals (and then continue to fail at communication because nobody else speaks sign).

[waycuter]

People may understand signing but no one understands fox signing, Naki.

[foxhands]

Somebody will you just gotta believe!!!

[munechika]

awww jijii's precious niece

[waycuter]

uncle mikazuki ♥

--also Yana told me about the huge teddy bear thing and I laughed.

[munechika]

it has to happen ok!! we all know that fushimi needs something cute and cuddly to soothe his angry heart

[waycuter]

Thanks to that, Iyo secretly judges her brother. thx uncle

[munechika]

yw child

if it makes both iyo and fushimi happy, then it's all good (*˘︶˘人)

[probablynoteren]

He's younger but taller than her, does that count, I'm laughing.

Y'all rich kids... I guess she'll go full chuu2 once Awakening hits, amazing. She might know him as the poor guy who takes care of the greenhouses at school and keeps having to chase her brother around with all the flowers Fushimi's fans try to shower him with.

[waycuter]

M...aybe? I'm not sure! She's only really fallen in love with people older than her in canon. Though -- she believes that everyone may be in love with her and she'll blush anyway, so there's a small victory there.

Also hey, hey, she's only going to be chuuni (mostly) when she has to use her Persona. She has dignity to keep up! And yeah, that works! She doesn't go to look for her brother very often, but when he does, he's always being chased around by fans or underclassmen with flowers....

...brother is truly popular.

[probablynoteren]

Iyo please.... He's a canon siscon so they're both bad, this CR is going to end so well tbh.

Chuu2 dignity! To be fair they'll all be pretty chuu2 when they use their Personas, so she'll be in good company there.... Her brother probably isn't out in public too often, but his locker/desk/possessions/whatever are probably constantly spammed... Lenka is sorry but the girls won't leave his greenhouse alone otherwise!!
