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 guys! I'm Byte and I'll be test driving this crazy bot, Whirl from Transformers IDW: More Than Meets The Eye.

So the basic gist of him in canon. Whirl is an asshole and incredibly messed up in his head due to past traumatic experiences. He can be too much on the crazy side most of the time, but just so that nobody would have to deal with an unpredictable psychopath, I'm going to take him at the point where his mental state is better at least. He's still a crazy jerk though just... not as terrible as before.

I haven't completely decided on Whirl's pre-awakening just yet. But one thing I'm certain is that Whirl won't be that much of a crazy sociopath as he is in canon, since he obviously doesn't have his past trauma pre-awakening.

Anyways, my options are either to make him a bit like his past self before he becomes ax-crazy. A generally well-liked dude who's fun to hang out with. He's a final year student with above average scores and perfect attendance. Also, he has a parent who runs a small watchmaking store, which is something he's passionate of and going to take over once he's finished with high school. Or he's going to be just as much as the jerk he was in canon(without the added insanity). He's still going to school with perfect attendance(just don't say that to him or else he's going to sock someone in the face.) and running the watchmaking store.

If anyone would like to plan for cross-canon friend/family/rival, pre-established stuff, or such, please feel free to hit me up on discord (Unmentionable#4298) or plurk Sharkbyte.

COMPLETELY APROPOS OF NOTHING, but oh my gosh, yes. I love that crazy sociopath. And now I want to bring in Nautica at some point.

Who wouldn't love this crazy bot.

Aw man, it'll be totally awesome to see a Nautica.

Oh man, you have no idea how hype I am to see a Transformer showing up.

Roughly how old were you thinking his pre-awakening self would be?

It's great to see people hype for Transformers.

As for how old his pre-awakening be, I'll say 21 or 22.
