Two | Drakengard 3

[personal profile] breakingvoice 2018-03-14 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
PLAYER: celene
CHARACTER: Two
CANON: Drakengard 3

AU NAME: Lina Geteilt (short for commelina but I'm open to other suggestions)
AU AGE: 21
AU OCCUPATION: Culinary student / Food blogger
BLURB:
- Abandoned at the orphanage at a young age, taken into the makeshift family of Rose Geteilt, doesn't really like talking too much about this because it's sad
- Discovered that coming up with recipes and cooking food made people happy and that felt really great, so she basically devoted herself to getting really really good at cooking
- Scrounged her way into getting accepted to a culinary arts program at RU shortly after aging out of the orphanage
- Started a food blog at 19 that now has enough of a following to sustain her mostly on sponsorships
- Loves her readers/followers and devotes a lot of energy, sometimes more than she has to give, on making sure they're happy
- This also means occasionally taking less than ideal sponsorships and trying out potentially dangerous recipes, just because she wants to keep things interesting and make sure people remain open to all the opportunities available to them
- She hasn't done anything like give people incredibly bad food poisoning as far as she knows, but if she did, it was completely not on purpose and she posted the recipe with the best intentions and she feels really, really bad about it, she promises :(
- Loves her sisters, even Rose; tries out new recipes on all of them and always makes sure she can provide an ear to listen and a shoulder to cry on—often, again, to her own detriment

LOOKING FOR: Uhhhh ways to flesh this out? I know the DoD3 cast has a big interconnected story and I'm kind of stumbling my way into it and hopefully this is okay?? Also people who know her from her blog, maybe people she's accidentally gotten to make bad food choices. Also Sir Not Yet Appearing in This RP to be her fiance

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: Uh I would say I'm already being enabled pretty hard here
breakingvoice: (let's hear it)

Updates!!

- Lina found a family! They love and care for her very much and helped put her through college, which works better than the "uhhh somehow she figured it out" that I'd been going with

hi!!! nanashi knows rose and hes friends with her. would you like him to know lina by extension??

she could have given him something weird to eat by accident lmao
breakingvoice: (don't you feel so much better?)

[personal profile] breakingvoice 2018-03-14 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
oh yeah, absolutely on all counts!! i don't want to make any blanket statements here or anything but i think lina is the kind of person who's pretty okay with anybody who's friends with any of her sisters, because after all, they have to have something likable about them

and honestly nanashi is wonderful just speaking from my own experience playing off him thus far

i'm on the wrong account but celene!! two!! ahhh i'm excited!!

clover would definitely nag lina and scold her about taking the questionable sponsorships because safety is important, especially hers

but to note, clover knows that rose and jasmine don't get along, but she tries not address it often because she wants their found family to be a loving, happy one lmao....
breakingvoice: (i'll be all right)

[personal profile] breakingvoice 2018-03-14 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
clover she's fine she only did the extreme restraints sponsorship one time and everybody learned a lot of very important lessons from that mistake

i feel like lina is, like, obviously aware of the rift, and doesn't pretend it doesn't exist because she can't just ignore something like that. and maybe she's just a little bit frustrated with clover for pretending it isn't a thing? but it's definitely not something that she lets affect anything, because even though all her sisters don't necessarily get along, she can still make sure they're all happy on their own (with her food to help); they're her sisters and she loves every one of them, darn it!!

clover doesn't think fine means what lina think it means. it's not that she can't make mistakes but a mistake like that.... probably shouldn't have been made in the first place. there are ways to keep things interesting without involving danger

don't fall for every youtube meme

she hopes lina warned her audience against tide pods

but lina, sisters who love each other shouldn't fight like that. clover doesn't know why they can't resolve their issues, but they won't talk it out because they're STUPID and STUBBORN and think they know what's best when they obviously don't? both rose and jasmine devoted so much time to try to raise them, and clover adores and admires and appreciates and loves them so, so much, but she doesn't see why they need to be fighting like they do. that's not what a family should be like. neither of them accept help, either, so it's extra frustrating! they should depend on their little sisters, too! all of them!!
breakingvoice: (there's a voice in my head)

[personal profile] breakingvoice 2018-03-14 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
she warned them against tide pods and then made little cakes that had color schemes reminiscent of tide pods because she knows her audience and knows that a lot of them might try it despite her warnings so she might as well give them an alternative

when she puts it like that it's hard to argue, so lina kind of gets both sides of this and she's just. she's going to keep making food for everyone and trying to make thanksgiving happen. eventually they'll realize that they can all come together again, right? that's how it has to work!! that's how it works out in all the TV shows, at least. and if lina puts enough energy into hearing each of them out then maybe they'll eventually reach a resolution! and if they don't, well, lina's been offering herself to both of them this whole time, right? she can figure something out. clover can come too, they're both smart, they can fix this!
servileness: (0.06 sec)

[personal profile] servileness 2018-03-15 07:20 am (UTC)(link)
lina is so good-willed and good-hearted. clover would have been like, just tell your followers "don't." and leave it at that lmao this is why lina is the most considerate sister

clover would help make thanksgiving happen! she'd want and like that a lot. clover doesn't know if they can fix it, but she is willing to die (haha) trying. she won't try too hard to tell lina that things won't always work out like it does on tv because honestly, one of them needs to have enough pure hope for the rest of them combined.

but yeah, they can patch their family back together!! they're gonna do this.

SISSY!!!!!!

her having a food blog is really cute ... jasmine definitely would have let her test recipes on her. also, i can just imagine the fucking like, preambles to her recipes? they would be SO INTENSE. and long. and rambling.

you know that jasmine holds it together all the time, or tries to, so she'd try to make absolutely sure that lina never had to support her in her life. i know one thing that came up in a couple of conversations is that two might have been The Only One who found a family, which might be something you do/don't want to follow through on it...it'd be another way for her to be the externally well-adjusted one of these NIGHTMARE CHILDREN.
breakingvoice: (let's all sing along)

[personal profile] breakingvoice 2018-03-14 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
that's why it takes up so much of her time, because she absolutely needs to craft these articles perfectly down to the word. how will her readers know how good this food is if they don't understand her complete history with allspice?

i absolutely love the idea that lina actually found a family, not only because she deserves happiness but because it also makes it easier to justify her going to college and chasing her dreams. she understands that jasmine has the things she wants and has a specific way of living her life, but you know lina still makes her stuff and checks on her and treats her exactly the same. it's not fussing it's being a good sister!!

she has definitely floated the idea of thanksgiving before. with everyone.

Nat has sort of met Jasmine and Rose in game but she was Clover's dormmate the first year of college who did Not Get Along With Her but !! I would love for her to be on more positive terms with Lina? Like that sounds funny? Especially if you get vegetarian stuff on her blog?
breakingvoice: (don't you feel so much better?)

[personal profile] breakingvoice 2018-03-14 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, there's going to be vegetarian, vegan, all kinds of things—Lina's not picky and doesn't restrict herself to just one kind of food. Not when there's so much out there! She'd be glad to take suggestions, too, especially from people who know her sisters, no matter what they think about specific ones. I think this is a great idea!
nachetanya: (Ragnarok)

[personal profile] nachetanya 2018-03-14 08:12 am (UTC)(link)
Fuck yeah then !! Yes, I mean, Nat is totally the type to suggest this or what different angle. It's Lina's expression so she can't be too harsh on "demanding" anything but that doesn't mean you can't... steer it...

I doubt they'd have much class crossover at this point but they might've in the past with gen eds and the like if you wanted them to know each other longer.
breakingvoice: (going round in circles)

[personal profile] breakingvoice 2018-03-16 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
I'm wide open to the idea of them knowing each other longer, especially if Lina got out of the orphanage and found a loving family that actually, like, helped her out with things and sent her places and let her hang out with as many people as she wanted. I think I need to figure out when exactly that happened for her so I have a decent timeframe, but I'm definitely leaving that avenue open for when I do.
nachetanya: (Link to the Past)

[personal profile] nachetanya 2018-03-19 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
I mean either way the max is like. Three years that's when Natalia came to recolle, living in some shitty small town her whole life until then.

... The more lackluster of belated replies.

HI HELLO i am so excited for two!!!

the food blog idea is so cute.... rose goes out to cafes pretty often mainly for cakes and sweets, so she probably keeps lina updated on what place is good or has a good new item.

"Loves her sisters, even Rose" this is realest statement LMFAO although i feel like rose might ??? actually get along pretty well with lina??? more like who could hate two/lina (except for yoko taro) right, although she stubbornly tries to maintain being strong and independent so as not to burden any of her sisters. actually she's probably been really out of touch with lina the past few months because she doesn't want to worry her with her eye situation oops.....

ALSO I KNOW ARA MENTIONED ICONS ON THE ATP MEME but iirc none of my icons show up since photobucket is so awful now. HOWEVER, if you're in need of two icons i still have them uploaded and could get them back if you need more!
breakingvoice: (going round in circles)

[personal profile] breakingvoice 2018-03-14 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
HELLO I AM AS WELL

you know what's cheaper than going out to places? having your sister figure out what goes into those things that you tell her about and making them herself! that way rose can save her money and get herself other, different nice things that she deserves, and also get homemade sweets and cakes on important occasions and sometimes just by surprise, out of nowhere

i still don't think yoko taro understands happiness, which is why he has to destroy it every chance he gets. lina is worried about rose!! but also understands that, like jasmine and like everyone else, rose doesn't need to be fussed over—which doesn't mean she won't do it. but after a few months even lina starts getting concerned because she's pretty sure her sisters aren't so independent that they can't return a text message or something :(

I WILL KEEP THAT IN MY BACK POCKET, i have a set of 15 right now but before i give her more icons i want to make sure i can actually do this. it's been a while since i've done two characters in a game, much less one as big as this one, and if i'm bringing in an intoner i wanna do her justice

[personal profile] blacksong 2018-03-14 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
LINA IS SO PURE AND CUTE OH MY GOD this is so cute..... rose probably randomly drops off (secretly) premium cakes and whatnot just to get lina something nice BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO GET HER!! JUST ENJOY THE CAKE YOU DON'T NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S IN IT!!! but also if you ask her if she's the one who dropped it off ROSE DID NO SUCH THING, SHE'S NEVER DONE SOMETHING THAT NICE IN HER LIFE.

she's probably sparsely returned texts at least, but anything about meeting in person and catching up has been met with increasingly fake-sounding excuses. "i can't today i have a dentist appointment" "sorry leg day was harsh and i can't move but don't come over it's fine" "i would but i'm actually leaving the country right now for work i'll be back later" etc etc. SHE LOVES YOU LINA she just hates having to worry any of her sisters with.... anything....... even genuinely worrying stuff.

NO WORRIES i get you on having two characters in a game haha. just lmk if you ever need more, whether you app or don't, i'm happy to help!
breakingvoice: (pretend it's all okay)

[personal profile] breakingvoice 2018-03-16 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
omg rose!! she doesn't have to do that for her but lina absolutely loves the gesture, or, well, she loves the gesture from the mysterious cake benefactor who definitely isn't her sister

oh my god i love this disaster? lina knows something is obviously wrong but she also respects rose's privacy, but she also just really wishes she'd be up front with her because they're sisters, darn it!! she's worrying more as these excuses get lamer and lamer!! just let her know you're okay :( she'll never be able to bring the family back together if the family is dodging her
aintjustaweapon: (Oh wow.)

[personal profile] aintjustaweapon 2018-03-18 11:46 am (UTC)(link)
Would you want her and Lillian to be friends? Lillian loves her some food, and probably would've found her blog, maybe recognized her around campus at some point after that?
breakingvoice: (let's hear it)

[personal profile] breakingvoice 2018-03-19 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, absolutely! Lina sincerely loves both food and other people, and she's definitely gone out of her way to be friends with her fans. Also Lillian is fantastic from my one thread with her so far.
aintjustaweapon: (Oh hey this is pretty neat!)

[personal profile] aintjustaweapon 2018-03-19 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Food and people are also two of Lillian's favorite things! They have so much in common already. Haha.

Wait, which thread?
hauntedsavior: (caught a glimpse of the ending)

[personal profile] hauntedsavior 2018-03-19 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
Well, we're not doing one with Lina and Lillian yet, but Anna is my other girl here!
