classmates with music potential could be cute!! hina needs class pals

[boppin]

she can't stop being better it just comes ~natural~!!! :p but yeah no she's probably 100% not aware and just thinks they're ~pals~ rip tori...they live together that means he is legally obligated to be her friend??

imagine tori meeting hina for the first time back in the day and just being appalled tht there were two watarus in the world...

[littlemperor]

just OH NO...... OH GOD....... THERES TWO OF THEM.......

no one is allowed to talk shit about her tho they dont have the right to it like he does, as her rival

[boppin]

tori all WHAT DID YOU GET ON THE LAST TEST hina, a talented idiot: 100% what did you get etc RIVALS!!!!!!!!! while she totally. doesn't know what is going on there

also poor tori, he has Two hibikis in his life NO ONE DESERVES THAT

[zerotohiro]

logs out of johns journal specifically for u

we talked about this last night when we were both rolling around uselessly but please let hina just kind of bully her way into making hiro do stuff for her like an astronomy club??? he'd just go with it and be like HAHA OKAY WHATEVER

also they actually have a lot in common? living with older siblings and away from parents, growing up speaking two languages, being very smart (even if his grades are Abysmal most of the time) and they're close to the same age. 16 probably makes her in what, 10-11th grade? hiro's in 10th so it works out

give me cr because you love me thank u byebye

[boppin]

first time she sees him with anything astronomy related he's DOOMED

and yeah 10th-11th...i was like :)? not sure which grade to toss her into honestly

[jurai]

Omg AKECHI PLEASE I'm so glad both Crows can die in idol hell together...Please say his luck isn't the pits

Having them meet or frequent the same cafes would be so cute though, especially if its the cat cafe--he'd probably go there to play solitaire or do the homework he actually likes doing

[idolworship]

hello!! as of septemberish, miai and wataru started hanging out and miai occasionally comes over (mostly to visit tori tbh) - if hina lives with tori and wataru, then he's probably met her since iirc miai comes over for movie nights sometimes with wataru+tori.

he'd probably find her energy charming and would definitely encourage tori and hina to be friends (hits f for tori)-- he also likes to spoil people younger than him so he'd probably do the same with her, esp since she's wataru's little sis... always bringing gifts and sweets for tori and hina when he drops by !!

[boppin]

hi!!! he would definitely have met her since she lives with them, y!! she also loves being spoiled so miai is cool!! she loves sweets and gifts??? instant sisterly approval tbh...also fffffff poor tori he has no escape

[echoing_sutras]

yep! she's a punk rock youtuber who does nothing but covers because she struggles to write her own music

[thisloveisjustice]

haha santa's helper would be awesome. keep the kids from running amok so the present distribution can go somewhat smoothly. and Tatsuo would have wanted to consult with whoever is the current ringleader to get input on what the children like.

[floret]

JAMIE IS ALSO 21 AND IN medical-adjacent college (though he's a senior... and aiming for med school, ultimately hoping to become a trauma surgeon) and likes to get high and works at a cafe (the Tea Kittle, which obviously specializes in tea, but he himself specializes in all the same espresso drinks they serve at Starbucks, which is where he used to work until he fled with the trade secrets)

he's broke and doesn't have any extra food but you could pet his cats probably

also he is a lonely thot so if Crow himself had any interest then dates/flings/etc. could 100% have happened

[jurai]

Oh my gosh ok but they can have poor college student solidarity 💪

And he tends to reach out to the more lonely looking ones so I can definitely see him having a date or two with Jamie. Took him out to a local burger joint or sat him down at a cafe.

Crow's actually very good with cats/animals too so you can bet he'll be pettin' those kitties~

[maskreant]

Stop.

i think i faintly remember that Crow was going to be a regular at Akira's cat cafe?? and they would be university mates and he will DO his Best to help Crow. please let this continue.

he will house this hobo

[faireleclown]

you're lucky he's not a sibcon like the other half of our cast

[faireleclown]

arrives late LITTLE SIS!!! swings hina, good

i'm excited for hibiki sib shenanigans, they're long lost siblings same canon or not... expect that she doesn't get spoiled too often because wataru's thankfully not a sibcon but he'll treat her to things when she does really well

[floret]

aw shit..... pity dates.......







eh, he'll take it

[twostringsonebow]

HIS LUCK IS... AVERAGE...... he has thrown more money at ranking for his besties than anything though, he's competitive as all hell about it

that'd be nice!!! maybe a chance conversation once or twice that turns more frequent once goro realizes they're only a few years apart? and into the same sort of thing hobby-wise. he's also moving more permanently into akira & co's place if crow wants to help him out as part of his odd-job thing

[jurai]

A man of competition...he can get behind that.

OH, if he's moving in with Akira & Co, Crow would definitely see him, since that's Elliot's place of operation too. Even better if he helped him move there and was just "wait this address is familiar..."

[jurai]

1/2 price burger night is no joke, Jamie IT WAS MEMORABLE

[jurai]

YES I do remember Cat Cafe shenanigans which he is still going to be quite the loyal customer to.

Just be warned if you feed him he'll never leave.

PLAYER: Erica
CHARACTER: Rinka Urushiba
CANON: Tokyo ESP

AU NAME: Rinka Urushiba? Smith? (open to her getting absorbed into an existing family)
AU AGE: 16
AU OCCUPATION: High school junior
BLURB: For those unfamiliar with Tokyo ESP, it's basically X-Men set in Japan. It straight up lifts so many things from X-Men to the point her dad is a Wolverine expy and Rinka is a Kitty Pryde expy. If mutant powers were granted by flying glowing fish that came from a mystical tablet. There's finding out you're a mutant (esper), deciding how you're going to use your powers, running into other espers using their powers for BAD THINGS and deciding to STOP THEM. (We're not going to talk about the 2nd half of the manga yet, lmao.)

I'm thinking of flipping Rinka's canon history. So instead of growing up broke and barely scraping by in Japan with her father, she grows up in the US with her mother and lives a rather plush life. Though she probably isn't close to her mother at all.

- living in Recolle with her mother (who is in intelligence, though Rinka probably just thinks her mother is in business)
OR
- living in Recolle w/ relatives from her mother's side

- has no memories of her father, believes he was someone her mother met on a 'business' trip
- kind of wonders about him though, due to her distant relationship with her mom
- grew up very comfortably (not rich but still pretty well off)
- loves designer things, goes shopping at least once a week, bit of a clothes horse, lives in athleisure
- athletic, on the track team, long jump? high jump? mile?
- good student, A/B average, good at science and math, alright at literature and history, studying Japanese
- just got her license, drives a FIAT 500, absolute lead foot
- doesn't know shit about taking care of herself (if she lives w/ her mother, they have a housekeeper... who Rinka is probably close with)
- terrified of birds (...IT'LL BE HILARIOUS WHEN SHE REGAINS PENGI ... unless someone apps Murasaki, then she has dibs on the penguin)
- at some point, will get a job, b/c Rinka isn't Rinka w/out the side-hustle
- known among her friends for being the violent one, will slap you upside the head for being a dumbass
- more ruthless and less forgiving due to being raised by her mother instead of her father, will step on you to get what she wants
- however, she's not cruel to people, just really, really driven, and puts up with no bullshit
- inspired to go into sports medicine after an injury sophomore year

LOOKING FOR: relatives (mother's side OR father's side)! friends, classmates, teammates! neighbors!

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: if I do app Rinka, it wouldn't be until November, more likely January, so I can do a reread and so i can write up her history, b/c none of the wikis have it written past like... the first volume B|

PLAN

[psykick]

pls don't reply to this comment, thanks~

[boppin]

TREATS THAT ARE DESERVED ARE THE BEST??? look she's not sibcon either so much as Really Admires, which is. probably also unfortunate but whatever 2 hibikis!!!!!

[frostythehitman]

Rinka sounds extremely like the type of person James would've hung out with, before he got himself locked up

we can have them be like...classmates-slash-school friends? maybe even they hung out after sports practices or something when he was still on the football, idk how school sports actually work lmao

given that they're both "the violent ones" i'd also imagine any kind of light friendly shove or nudge or something would escalate into a proper fight
