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).

Hey, I'm Bennu (himewako) and I'm going to be playing Hotaru Tachibana from Aoharu x Machinegun. I know for the test drive, I went with "Harper" as a first name, but I'm not really 100% behind any last name for her yet. It may end up being determined by who her AU family ends up being.

What I've Got:
- She's in the second year of her senior cycle at Green Valley.
- Raised by a single parent
- Not a particularly outstanding student and basically a member of the go-home club
- Kind of feels like a generic NPC in her own life. She wants to stand out, but she kind of feels like that's for other people.

(Basically, I'd like her to be normal and unexciting because when she regains her memories, it's back to being WAY TOO EXTRA ALL THE TIME.)

Looking For:

- family members and friends
- someone who can be really shocked when she goes from bland to punching holes in walls in the name of JUSTICE
- really anything, as I don't have anything pre-planned!

Well I am in the market for siblings for Jaune. I am willing to tweak some of his background, the only thing I'd like to keep for sure is the restaurant thing and the "moving into the city during elementary age" thing -- but otherwise the stuff I have listed for him I can tweak for sake of making a family as I want some family CR more than I necessarily want to keep all of that background in stone 8Db

Plus watching him freak out at personality changes thanks to memories might be fun.

[seigikan]

I'm all for this! There are elements that you have for his backstory that would work really well for her, actually. (Rabbits are important, for example.) The only thing about what I have for her that I really do want to keep is having been raised by a single parent.

[sociallyarcward]

I can sacrifice a parent if I can keep the restaurant and moving in from out of town (it doesn't necessarily have to be from a farm, I just thought that would be a fun 'fish out of water' touch for his childhood).

|Db Which parent were you thinking? And is it divorce or death or just MIA? and for how long?

[seigikan]

I'm flexible on that! Anything that would mean they were never in the picture for her.

[sociallyarcward]

I'd prefer a mother -- just to better explain Jaune's sensitivity a little more than I think a father figure would warrant.

I just added you on plurk where maybe we can solve this a little more in real time? That way we can smooth out childhood stories and what not. |D
