PLAYER: Len
CHARACTER: Kaito Kuroba
CANON: Magic Kaito/Detective Conan they might as well be one canon at this point

AU NAME: Same as above.
AU AGE: 16
AU OCCUPATION: High school student (junior year) and also a teenage private detective.
BLURB:

This is very much a work in progress and subject to potentially change, but:

♠ born and raised in Tokyo to a very famous magician that traveled around the world and a former actress mother
♠ at the age of seven, his father died "a mysterious death"; it was labelled as a stage accident
♠ five years later, Kaito - the brilliant mind that he is, finds out that his father's death was not an accident and goes and finds out that his father was in fact, Murdered and the police could not solve it so Kaito goes ahead and becomes a detective himself to solve said murder and essentially get Revenge for his dad's death
♠ it's because of said incident that he becomes really, really bitter towards the police, even though he's hailed as a prodigy detective because of the incident
♠ his mother, wanting to start over and get away from it all, decides to move out of Japan. hence why they end up in Recollé at the age of 14
♠ Kaito enrolls himself into the school, but he easily gets bored due to being Really Smart
♠ isn't in any clubs, but sometimes does volunteer work
♠ he also continues to attempt to do detective work and even advertises himself publicly, even if most of the cases he deals with are minor due to his age
♠ in high school, he's taking a lot of AP classes, things related to criminal justice, psychology, sociology in particular
♠ doesn't like talking about magicians or magic or doing magic at all, although he has a very, very bad habit of shuffling cards when he's thinking or bored; people might notice that he does shuffle like a magician, however
♠ during his off time, he can be often seen reading books in the library - you'll find him rather interested in both detective and thief fiction along with stuff related to criminal justice.

LOOKING FOR: Potential friends, classmates/schoolmates, those who might have known his father, those who might have asks for Kaito's services as a detective in the past, people who work for the police so he can be Bitter About Them, also negative CR aka villain types. I'm also interested in thieves in particular due to memories that Kaito would get down the line if I do app him, so there's that.
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: As a heads up this is a Huge Maybe and potentially may or may not happen, I'm not 100% sure on it. My other options are Himeko Inaba (Kokoro Connect) ooor you can potentially enable me for anyone here, but I guarantee nothing.

PLAYER: Kay
CHARACTER: Rean Schwarzer
CANON: The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel

AU NAME: Same as above
AU AGE: 20
AU OCCUPATION: University student, odd-jobsman
BLURB:

• From upstate NY, one of the suburbs of Rochester


• Did well in school, but not exceptional. Never really joined any extracurriculars.


• Never really got close enough to any of his classmates to make real friends. Just had a lot of acquaintances. His younger sister is probably his best (only?) friend.


• Still undeclared in his major despite being in his second year of college because he has no idea what to do with his life


• Rean spends his free time picking up odd jobs around town, both paid and free. He's responsible for many, *many* kitten rescues as a result


• Comes from a pretty well-off family, but the money he gets from his odd jobs is the majority of his spending money. He feels like a burden on his family and doesn't want an allowance, even though they'd be willing to give it.


• Thinks swords are cool as heck. Definitely took kendo lessons at some point.


• He had a pretty severe goth phase in his mid-teens, and while he doesn't want to talk about that anymore, he still not-so-secretly thinks that stuff is cool. His sister won't let him go full weeb or full goth, so he winds up somewhere around emo hipster.


• Not-so-secretly obsessed with a magical girl anime that's way darker and more complex than it looks, okay


• Loves cats, but tends to be unwittingly a little rough with them so they don't like him so much. Also loves dogs. Please, just let him pet animals.

LOOKING FOR: It's a long shot, but I'd kill for someone to be his younger sister? More realistically, though: people he's shared gen-ed classes with or just general acquaintances. Rean's not a loner by any means, but he doesn't really hang out with people right now, either...

DIBS ON BEING LITTLE SISTER

no seriously I am excited for the Rean Bean , maybe Crow and Rean met recently before he gets the app?

[motiv8]

wow that'd be awkward

What if they've done a couple errands together before, since they're basically working the same not-job? Like, not enough to get real friendly or have too much conversation, but enough that when they see each other it's like "oh, right, I know you, hey" as opposed to "who is this sassy lost kouhai"

[interlucere]

gently slams into this, hello friend

My lazy excuse for getting some pre-established CR with these two would be putting them in one or two BS general ed classes. She's still relatively new in town, so she would have attached herself to people who are a) personable, and b) have some functional knowledge of Recollé.

Failing all that, if he spends any time at the cat cafe, he's liable to see her around there. She lives in the dorms, so no pets yet :c

[fiddlestick]

REAN!!

Would Rean been likely to gone to the cat cafe? Elliot performs there semi-regularly and also is a regular since his roommate works there.

[motiv8]

hello~~

I'm down with that! And Rean also lives in the dorms, so it's not impossible the two of them have had a dorm study party before. Rean's grades are only average because the boy doesn't care that much, but he's not as much of a non-caring disaster as Trash Armbrust here.

[motiv8]

Yes. Listen, the boy loves cats. Of course he's been there.

That said, he probably keeps mostly to himself, so while he's probably seen Elliot play, who knows if Elliot's ever noticed him.

...except as "oh, hey, someone just got scratched. Welp."

[jurai]

That's perfect! Enough for them to be acquaintances. Crow's probably offered to stop for coffee (maybe at cat cafe and wound up in a card game?)

[interlucere]

Oh my god is she going to have to drag both Crow and Rean across the graduation stage, because so help her she will.

Yes, I would be okay with this! Maybe they're floor mates? That way they can use the common room kitchen to make """""food"""""

Rean

Have you heard

Of mug meals

[motiv8]

Does that mean Rean has already spent money on this asshole before he even gets into the game because I am so here for that

[motiv8]

Listen, he'll get there!! Just as soon as he... figures out what he wants to do that doesn't make his brain melt out of his ears...

Sold!

Also, yes. Yes, he has. Also, he's That Kid With The Rice Cooker, so she's always welcome to come by and borrow that.

[jurai]

GOTTA GET IN DEBT EARLY, THAT'S WHAT I ALWAYS SAY

[interlucere]

Lucille would 100% respect that. Just throw yourself at everything, Rean! But also study hard!! At least she's willing to share her notes.

Also you mean she doesn't have to hard boil eggs in a coffee pot? She can make her ramen and eggs at the same time?! A whole new world of dorm food has suddenly opened to her and it is beautiful. Someone marry this man. Crow get on that

[motiv8]

THIS IS WHY YOU'RE GETTING THE MONEY WITH WINGS EMOJI AFTER YOUR NAME IN HIS CONTACTS when you get in there

[fiddlestick]

Rean that is so sad.

But that works out! Elliot will be kicking himself that he failed to notice Rean listening to his music. IN HIS DEFENSE, CROW AND EREN ARE VERY TALL AND HARD TO SEE OVER??

[motiv8]

Also in Elliot's defense, Rean sits by himself and he's very quiet (aside from the "ow!"s) and has probably been there in glasses half the time!

kokichi ouma / dangan ronpa v3

[decipere]

PLAYER: Ichi
CHARACTER: Kokichi Ouma
CANON: Dangan Ronpa V3


AU NAME: Kokichi Ouma
AU AGE: ~20
AU OCCUPATION: University student (software engineering)
BLURB:

❖ Kokichi was born and raised in a small American town as the older brother to Yuuki (sleepingknight), whom he's very close to, and to a relatively rich family. His family never had to worry about putting food on the table and their children had very comfortable lives.

❖ He's a really mischievous kid who constantly joking around and can never really give a straight answer to his true feelings or thoughts but that came as a result of being bullied when he was younger. When he was a child, he had a weaker personality that led to him being picked on and he quickly realized that in order to protect himself, he had to adopt a stronger persona where he can't show off any of his old weaknesses. He was pretty clumsy at it at first but got really good at faking it when he got older.

❖ When he was around 15 years old, Yuuki got extremely ill and had to be hospitalized for a period of time. Kokichi started to skip a lot of school at this point to visit and keep her company. He would often drop by with video games (their shared interest), treats, and all other sorts of things. This is the time period where he got especially good at faking his emotions.

❖ While Yuuki was in the hospital, Kokichi created an online guild called Vivarium specifically for her. Knowing that he wouldn't be able to keep her company all the time, he made this online group that she could interact and play video games with while he was gone. He also made it a special rule that all members had to wear masks (similar to these) so they could be anonymous from each other. This was due to Yuuki's shyer personality but also to hide his own emotions and any slip-ups he might have while visiting her in the hospital.

❖ Even as Yuuki got better and was discharged from the hospital, Kokichi continued to run and expand Vivarium as it has become something particularly special for him. The guild doesn't specifically centre itself around one game anymore and it has generally just become an online group where people can have fun interacting with one another. He occasionally streams video games with his sister while in their Vivarium masks and often does charity runs so they could donate the proceedings to any group that helps sick children.

❖ Although he missed a good chunk of school while Yuuki was hospitalized, Kokichi was able to catch up on his studies and eventually get accepted in Recolle University for software engineering. That meant he packed up and left his small town to move to Recolle, where he has been residing for the past ~two years.

❖ What has he been doing in these last couple of years? Honestly, just being a lil shit. Although he's tamer than his canon self, he still likes to pull a lot of practical jokes on people and do stupid thing that makes him the annoying friend that no one really likes, such as being that asshole who constantly calls/texts/snapchats/tweets people at 3am about things or to ask if they want to totally go to McDonald's with him. He's also the same lil shit who crashes on your couch, eats all of your snacks, and stays there even after you make 3928129 unsubtle hints for him to leave.

❖ Also, he has this terrible online shop that he runs with his sister where they just mail glitter to people. You know those annoying packages or letters where if you open them, you have a fuckton of glitter hitting you in the face and then making it a pain to clean out of your carpet floor? Yeah, he's the guy you wanna hit up if you want to send that shit to your worst enemies. He also carries glitter in his pockets at all times for this very purpose.

❖ Also also, he's 6'2" in this AU but only because I want him to be super tall and put all of his stuff on high shelves where Yuuki can't reach it but then regain back his 5'1" height so then he could go and completely run out of clothes to wear

LOOKING FOR:

❖ Friends! Whether they are from his childhood, university, anything is game. Honestly, just people who put up with his bullshit and somehow have the patience to keep him around.

❖ Online buddies! Which are pretty much friends but people who only know him by his online identity (he uses the ~edgy~ handle "Zero") and is either part of the guild or not. Honestly, just be his twitter pal where he posts shower thoughts to ("your future self is talking shit about you" "when snoop dogg's 60, he's going to be 420 in dogg years")

❖ I ran out of ideas but give me that good pre-game cr. Give me some negative CR too. I will literally hand someone $5 to go tell Kokichi to go fuck himself.

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME:

N/A but I won't be apping Kokichi until January! I am just currently trying to get my footing with his AU, which is why I am tossing him on the workshop an app round early.

[alitaba]

yells loudly because K A I T O

hi yes hello i’m here for any and all genius teen nonsense with a dash of thievery

[jurai]

You can be my debil I'll be ur angle

[motiv8]

[fiddlestick]

OH YES THE GLASSES.

Don't worry Rean, the second these two figure out who you are, you can kiss your loner life goodbye because it's time for the POWER OF FRIENDSHIP.

[lastwizard]

YES PLEASE if i do app he's actually going to Hugely Disapprove about thievery but he accepts genius teen nonsense

[fiddlestick]

I AM TEMPTED to have Elliot know Kokichi via online, since he used to do online gaming. Either as someone in Vivarium or someone familiar with the group. He doesn't really do it much anymore/at all since Recolle life keeps him busy, but during high school before he moved to Recolle it probably could've been a thing!
