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

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

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

[probablynoteren]

OK, now I have to know.

[neverbeentogeorgia]

20 paragraphs...... and that doesn't even cover after he's died and become Lucifer again, orz...

[probablynoteren]

My deepest condolences, I know that feel. This is why wiki is a godsend, really, unless your fandom's translations are shit and/or the fandom is too small, in which case see previous statement. /pats

[neverbeentogeorgia]

Angel Sanctuary's wiki is really bad. I think all of the really good info sites went the way of AngelFire and Geoshities back in the day. The pain of an old, old fandom....

[probablynoteren]

Oh, man. Have you tried Wayback Machine to see if you can dig anything up? I've definitely lost some old/obscure fandom fics and info sites to the Great Void of Time but dug them back up using that!

[neverbeentogeorgia]

That's a really good idea, I really hadn't... I'll have to give that a try next time! (We did recover an ancient and deleted image detailing the seven levels of hell, seven levels of heaven, and Assaiah so we could remember them all by name when needed. Thank you, google!)

[probablynoteren]

Best of luck! I need to give Wayback more attention myself, there's still some old-ass fandoms I need to save stuff for. \o/

[neverbeentogeorgia]

ALSO, to answer your question, Kira will either be in his final year of high school or starting off in college. Or, uh, I guess if the delinquent route, some sort of community college or, gasp, a job... probably as a bouncer or some shit BUT YEAH, that seems likely that he'd be a regular at whatever florist shop he works at? Or stealing flowers from his greenhouse....

[probablynoteren]

Gosh, Kira, at least get your date plants the normal way!! I haven't finalized exactly what I'll have him doing in relation to gardening, though the most likely route is just having a gardening club and/or maybe greenhouses on campus, so there's plenty of possibility for however you want to spin things. \o/

Look! It's fun facts, I had to share.

[neverbeentogeorgia]

I suppose if one has to have a cross in life to bear...

[autorejoin]

It shouldn't be Lucifer.

[loosecannontightshorts]

Sorry to butt in, but seeing Kira and Katou made me so nostalgic I am pondering applying a character from Angel Sanctuary.

I wanted to check with you beforehand though, to know how you would feel interacting with an antagonist *cough*Rosiel*cough*. I don't want to step on any toes, or find that my character's cast mates would prefer to avoid him even in the memory loss scenario, so if it's a problem please tell me and I'll fall back on my initial idea instead.

(Can't wait to see you guys thread regardless.)

I'LL LET GIL WEIGH IN WITH HER OWN THOUGHTS, BUT PERSONALLY I'D BE FUCKING THRILLED?!??!!??!?!?!?? holy shit rosiel, i've wanted to play off of one for years.
