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).

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

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

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~

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....)

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)

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.).
