WELCOME & AU PLANNING - MAY 2017

[cordibus]

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!

GAME START

The first log will be posted on MAY 13TH. 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).

That sounds fantastic tbh. Also like something that would make a good early game thread before they remember stuff.

[edit] It also sounds like the both live near Miu so there is also some neighborhood kids thing going on here.

[lovelledup]

Oh man. That's pretty funny how that worked out. So yeah, let's have them be buddies.

[lovelledup]

You know Asher's older brother is an idol, right? What even is this celebrity crush thing?

[kokuyoyo]

Not all of them can have famous family members, Asher!!






....Just don't judge the crush thing too hard

[extremelycute]

I hope it's not a problem, but Miu is also going to have an older brother! We decided on Discord just now.

[lovelledup]

No judgement, just potentially mild teasing.

But seriously we should log this before they awaken.

[lovelledup]

I checked on it with my family member people and we're good to go on that! What do you think their relationship looks like? I have some further info on Gladion's AU personality here.

[kokuyoyo]

This is absolutely getting logged before they awaken and everyone gets miserable and traumatized and confused.

[lovelledup]

Woo so I guess Gladion has an aunt/uncle now. XD

[lovelledup]

Hey so if Mako is Jirou/Yoshio's big brother and they live together, then I guess Gladion is his neighbor along with being a martial arts student. Maybe that's how he got into martial arts in the first place, now that I think of it.

[transient_specter]

Ciro might remember big bro being a fighty and distrustful weenie when he was first adopted if his memories aren't too hazy.

[lovelledup]

He's actually in the last year of lower (on the young side of his grade!) so they might not have overlapped at all. That said, I'm asking my family folks about being neighbors and one of two has already said it's fine, so that's a possibility. My current neighbor CR requires being in walking distance of the school, so as long as that doesn't conflict with your plans let's go for that.

Question: will the fact that this Nobunaga sometimes crossdresses for the hell of it make her more or less confused?

Nakigitsune | Touken Ranbu

[foxhands]

Hello hellooo I'm Kes and I'm bringing in Nakigitsune from Touken Ranbu! In canon he's the spirit of a sword that's part of a time-traveling sword army messing with history in order to stop enemies messing with history! He's also over 900 years old and lets a fox do all the talking for him, because he's shy and socially awkward. A follower!

In the AU I honestly barely have any plans at all, so here's a very short list:
- 17 years old
- Gonna be the older brother of Miu Matsuoka! She's probably the boss of the family.
- Was strongarmed into joining a non-sports club (art club maybe)
- Has no talking foxes, but feeds all the local stray cats and is therefore inadvertently the cause of a lot of animal control complaints in the neighborhood

I'm up for any sort of extra family or friends or neighbors or other CR!

[de_aru_ka]

YES, I am all for whatever odd friendship happened between this weirdo who lets pretty boys sleep in his office and this Legitimate Businessman.

Maybe that's why Nobs has such a comfy office. He gets first pick on the Furniture of Questionable Origins.

[lovelledup]

I don't think Gladion/"Asher" would have had a lot of reason to talk to a counselor, but that doesn't mean they wouldn't have interacted at some point, since they're both around the school.

[torching]

HEEEY that's actually a good idea! they've probably known each other for a while then? also their parents are dead so gladion would know about that too heheh

[neverbeentogeorgia]

SWEET. Nerd friends go!!

[lovelledup]

Gladion is also 14, though he's in the third year. Considering his canon life is being an edgy tsundere who's a good kid but kind of screwed up because his family is crazy, I feel like there's some potential in here somewhere haha. His AU is a good enough student, but I don't think he'd be exactly bothered by someone who skips a lot, so I could possibly see them being friends (though I'm not sure off the top of my head how they would have gotten there). I have some stuff about his AU personality and stuff here if you have any thoughts.

[kouteipenguin]

Michi's also going to be taking martial arts, so he'd know Mako!

[lovelledup]

Yaayaa~~ I think Gladion/"Asher" is going to be one of his neighbors! I had been talking about that with Miu. I'll have to think about what Asher might think of all the cats haha.

[lovelledup]

This all sounds excellent to me. How long ago did they lose their parents? Would Gladion have known them?

[torching]

nice! mako probably sees him around campus and says hi, too!

[torching]

that

is a good question LMAO let me sort that out and i'll get back to you!

[foxhands]

Cats are important! Also pet foxes are kinda hard to get! Hopefully the cats won't be too much of a problem ahaha.....
