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

Heyo erryone! Brion here cutting the line of Good Guys with a really messed up character Hazama/Yuuki Terumi from the trainwreck of a canon BlazBlue. He's... well, really fucked up in the head and his sole purpose in the entire franchise is only to troll the fuck out of every other characters (and that actually is his source of living power ic-ly. I could go for full tl;dr spoiler about him but he is, ironically, can be boiled down into "Batman's Joker if he got into anime". Down to his way of dressing, even.

He'll probably be AU'd into a genuinely nice and kind college student/young businessman... Pre-awakened. After he's awakened though, lord helps you all (bless his VA). This guy is going to be standing right on the border of Succumbed to Fury and not and you're going to have a totally not good guy as your friend. Though Hazama is definitely going to try to hold this farce back if he was in public as best as he could.

Now we got into the most interesting part, CR. I'm talking about some long-term CR here but I'm really down to have 90% negative CRs + 10% positive CRs. In fact, I want to find some people who's down to have their characters (presumably, those on the more naives' side) being played around like damn fiddles without themselves knowing by Hazama. You know, like being tricked into something weird like betraying your friends and all that shit.

I know that ultimately, Hazama is definitely going to the route of every videogame villains ever a.k.a death but I'm honestly okay with it. If you're up with him killing your characters mid-game for drama or anything of sort, I'm also okay with Hazama shouldering that role. He's probably going to be happy about it, actually.

Well, that's it. Feel free to hit me up @ brionacs for things.

Oh man, I am all for the long con kind of neg CR. May I present one Okuyasu, who's canon backstory is 'was used as the muscle by the big bad's talent scout'? Big, dumb, and thinks with his heart instead of his brain- mainly because he thinks he doesn't really have one- he'd be an easy target.

[eargasmic]

holy shit is this a jojo reference-- Oh wait, it's the actual jojos

In any case, yes!! I am a bit familiar with Okuyasu's background so I'm totally down with Hazama screwing him around like some mad prick. Hopefully he won't mind c:

Actually, just mind it. Hazama's probably going to laugh at his face when he realized that he was being used all along.

Romeo pls calm down with your crazy laugh.

But holy shit Brion do it. A Hazama would be amazing in Persona-esque game.

No stopping the NKMR train

Only if you whip out that Caelica journal so I could get all icky toward you just like RL

[dssploded]

Soooo.... I'd be up for negative CR here. When I last played Kaworu in a game (which was like three years ago) there was a Hazama who earned the dubious honor of being the only character I've ever played with that Kaworu actively disliked. So. Honestly I'd love it if that happened again haha.

Oh shit its anime jesus i fucking love u man

But in all honestly, if you're up for it, I'm totally down with it! Hate him all you want, Kaoru
