WELCOME & AU PLANNING - JUNE 2017

WELCOME TO THE FIRST PLANNING POST!

Congratulations on being accepted into the game. Now let's have a big meeting post, plan and have fun together!

AU PLANNING
The AU in this game is completely player's choice. We encourage you to take a look at the city and plan accordingly! Your AU information can be added to your character hub, should you desire. As long as it is available somewhere, and others can take a quick glance and know what the character's AU is.

We only ask that you try to keep everything tasteful and respect our decision if we feel you're going too far. As the game begins, you are free to continue using this post to plan or ask the mods first-post related questions. We'll do our best to answer in a timely manner!

The city of Eddan is very much a typical metropolis, so 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. If you're not sure, don't be shy about asking. There's a lot of freedom!

Roll the dice
There is also a randomized AU signup if you'd like to leave it to chance who your family members are and establish pre-game CR with new people. But if you'd rather leave it for now and wait for other app turns, that's also fine!

ARRIVAL
The first log for the 2nd round will be posted on JUNE 17TH. Please vote on what time you want it to be posted. We'll go with player majority! (As a note, this will be done for all rounds).

So I'm Ki, fresh meat to this game, bringing in Soma Cruz from Castlevania.

AU Info:
- His last name will still be Cruz, but his first name will be Sein (Basque/Spanish for "innocent" ha ha).
- Recent high school graduate from out of town, "returning" to help his parents run their bakery/cafe Creciente.
- Quiet, shy, bookworm type. Total video game nerd, too.
- Born albino, completely self-conscious about it.
- Requires high levels of caffeine to function in social situations. Constantly drinking hazelnut mochaccinos.
- Deceptively strong for an apparent nerd = attributed to fencing and freerunning classes to keep in shape.
- Loves animals. Seriously, do not hurt an animal in front of him. Feeds strays behind the bakery, owns two cats and a Samoyed.

OU Info:
- Soma Cruz is the reincarnation of Dracula. Carries memories of multiple incarnations and occasionally their skills, which makes him fluent in several languages. Tends to slip into past life memories when highly stressed or triggered.
- Pseudo-vampire. Fangs come out when in bloodlust or stressed. Does not require blood but craves the taste of it and the act of biting thanks to memories and altered physiology.
- HATES what he is but will use his power to help people whenever he can, even at great personal risk. Not a death-seeker but definitely an atoner.
- Less socially awkward and shy than his AU form, but still introverted with unfamiliar people. Far more serious than AU form.

Oh man I need these two to be friends for several reasons: 1. Jaune (or John) already has CR with Alucard...so why not just befriend ALL THE VAMPIRES, 2. Fellow child of a cafe owner--does that make them rivals? IDK 3. Socially awkward you? I wouldn't say John is SHY, just awkward around people sometimes--he's actually fairly outgoing.

Jaune is 18 and in higher cycle (which, based on age range, I think might be the school's equivalent of college. Not sure how old you are making Soma, but they could have encountered each other before he moved and then came back? I'm game for whatever.

[personal profile] power_of_dominance 2017-06-14 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
Soma/Sein is also 18, almost 19, as of his canon point! He's planning on college/Eddan equivalent but I headcanon his dad might've had some health issues and Sein is taking a break after graduation to help with the cafe. Maybe their cafes are far enough apart that Sein and Jaune can be friends and not rivals. XD And the idea that they "know" each other in their AU forms is kinda cool!

And yes, please befriend all the vampires. It makes things easier when Soma eventually gets the urge to nibble on someone I mean what

[personal profile] sociallyarcward 2017-06-14 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
Oh cool! So until he took a break they might have even been class mates. I assume that the cycle Jaune is in now is a college equivalent given the higher cycle age range is 18-20?, which would be your first few years of college.

I mean, Jaune's is more of a restaurant/cafe and Soma's is more of a bakery--so it's not like they have the EXACT SAME RESTAURANT.

Also rivalry isn't really Jaune's thing...I was just making a joke XDb But I'm glad someone else is bringing food service options here <3

Excellent wait what
power_of_dominance: (Even human souls bend to me sometimes)

[personal profile] power_of_dominance 2017-06-14 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, think like a smaller, mom and pop version of Panera meeting Starbucks. More baked goods, less food options, no pretentious coffee BS.

And yeah I figured it was playful! I could almost see them having "memories" of sharing their respective shops' specialties at high school: Soma brings one of his chocolate-almond croissants for Jaune, Jaune brings one of his favorites for Soma.

Yeeeeah enjoy that, it's always fun to see how people play their characters reacting to a bite. Shock, pain, pleasure....

Nice. I want to go there already.

I like this plan! It's cute and good early friendship building.

Probably more of the first one...but we'll see, it'll certainly be interesting~

[personal profile] power_of_dominance 2017-06-14 01:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I might reuse the pics I had from a previous game, it had the nice rustic feeling I envision. A quaint little oasis in the middle of the bustling city, you know?

So I guess when the intro log goes live, I'll put up a top level at the cafe for you and anybody else who wants to meet my pasty pretty boy. XD (And I think now I finally need to watch RWBY....)

[personal profile] sociallyarcward 2017-06-15 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
\o/ Yes to all of this

[personal profile] power_of_dominance 2017-06-15 02:20 pm (UTC)(link)
YAY, coming into a new game and having friends already is always good. Soma needs all the help he can get, normally he's described as having an "intimidating aura" despite the fact that he's a good person. Thanks, Dracula.

(I do worry that Soma might be a bad influence on Jaune in at least one way: he tends to swear in Spanish and I wonder if your blondie might pick it up from hanging out with him. XD)

[personal profile] sociallyarcward 2017-06-16 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Good people is all that matters really...

(You are worried for nothing. Jaune doesn't even speak Spanish Jaune is probably fairly familiar with curse words and I think I've already let a few slip anyway--he just usually does it in EXTREME cases. Jaune is a dumb, he's not a complete innocent "oh my poor ears" type.).

Soma! These two def need to be friends because fellow white-hairs unite. o9

Maybe they can run into each other through fencing classes? Otherwise, Sion is about as addicted to caffeine as Soma is, but only so he can avoid sleeping unless absolutely necessary. I imagine that in the AU, these two have likely crossed paths in the coffee shop from time to time!
power_of_dominance: (You bring color to my dreary life)

[personal profile] power_of_dominance 2017-06-15 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
Sion omg yes they definitely need to meet! (Soma will probably blush a lot because he'll think oh my this guy is so pretty every time they encounter each other.)

Meeting at either location is a good idea! If Sion goes to his family's cafe, he might end up getting freebies now and then once they become casually friendly. No it won't be because he's flustered at the hot guy why would you think that? And they could end up as sparring partners sometimes in class!
sunderings: (toward tomorrow)

[personal profile] sunderings 2017-06-15 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
Sion popping into the family cafe every now and again could be a thing! A cute thing. Sion might even be more wont to do that, after awakening just to "remove" himself from Green Valley.

Also after Soma awakens these two definitely gotta bro it up regarding reincarnation life and having a million memories to sort through, haha. 8')

[personal profile] power_of_dominance 2017-06-15 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
So much to talk about... at least Soma will be slightly less flustered after awakening? But talking about his reincarnations will make him so sad and serious, and he won't want his friends to see what happens to him if he smells blood. Sion will have to be brave and persistent to make Soma see he's not going to be judged for who and what he is.
sunderings: (it's such a brutal planet)

[personal profile] sunderings 2017-06-15 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
Brave, persistant, and sharing in solidarity are a few of Sion's strong points!

TL;DR Sion is the incarnation of a God of Destruction (as pictured above) *~*~destined*~*~, quite naturally, to destroy the world and life as humans know it.

SO ... he gets it. And there will be shoulder pats and hugs and wow, Sion should bleed his gold sparkly incandescent blood in front of Soma someday because I'm awful like that.
power_of_dominance: (Lost in crimson-soaked darkness)

[personal profile] power_of_dominance 2017-06-15 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
So destiny put them both in the same line of work. Lovely. They can share drinks and commiserate over how lucky they are.

And yes, please do. Please bleed in front of Soma. That will make things so much more awkward. XD

Oh, and I just looked at Sion's Persona... they're weak to each other's elements. Soma is Dark. Hopefully they never have to fight each other!

Adrian is a history student in the Advanced Cycle, 23 years old, going for a master's degree in history. I'm not sure where they'd meet beforehand unless Adrian has either eaten at the cafe or Sein runs into Adrian playing his electric guitar outside.
power_of_dominance: (Default)

[personal profile] power_of_dominance 2017-06-17 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
If he's playing music, Sein will definitely stop to listen. And if Adrian drinks coffee or tea, or eats baked goods, I'm sure he's been at the cafe!

Sein will consider going to Advanced Cycle for culinary arts, but right now he's helping his family. Though that's definitely subject to change after he awakens...

Hey there Soma, you want to have some past-CR from fencing with the 'club bouncer' Delilah?
power_of_dominance: (They wanted warriors....)

[personal profile] power_of_dominance 2017-06-18 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Absolutely! Sein is shy but sweet, he'll be a good (if quiet) friend and an excellent sparring partner. And then when he Awakens, he'll be less shy and even better at sparring. XD
