• Reserves open on January 17th at 9pm EST! Please note; due to player polls, players may now apply for characters without a reservation. Applications open on January 25th at 12am EST.
• For current players who are interested in 2nd or 3rd characters, please review and follow our policy about AC! To reserve a 2nd character you must have a pass for the previous month's AC with your first character. For a 3rd character, you must have a pass for the previous two months' AC for both of your characters. In addition, we do ask that the AC for the current month be met and filled into your AC comment by the time of your reserve. It must be full AC. This means you must have 20 comments between at least 2 and at most 4 threads and one memory regain listed for the current month's AC period. Your reserve will not be accepted until you supply the requested AC!
As a note, we will update the application page with a space for current players to link their full AC for our review should a player wish to apply without a reserve.

• Most importantly, as a friendly note: Recollé will be going into its endgame this year. Estimated endgame is no earlier than July/August of 2019.

sleepingknight: ([Confident] and there is no deceit.)

PLAYER: Dani | [plurk.com profile] danidanidanica
CHARACTER: Yuuki Konno
CANON: Sword Art Online

AU NAME: Yuuki Ouma
AU AGE: 18
AU OCCUPATION: Robotics Student, Twitch Streamer/Youtuber, probably some other part time job on the side.
BLURB:
✢ Grew up in a small American town with her older brother Kokichi ([personal profile] decipere) who she is very close to! They come from a fairly rich family and live comfortable lives.

✢ As a child, she was much shyer than her older brother with a tendency to hide behind him when meeting new people or encountering new situations. She still has shades of that timidity nowadays and will do the exact same thing if she's off her game, but she's grown to be overall more outgoing, at least on the surface. She's extremely cheerful and optimistic with a slightly mischievous streak, thanks to Kokichi.

✢ When she was around 13, she became ill with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia. She grew to keep smiling for her family members because of how worried they were for her health, and started playing a lot of online games with Kokichi and later, others.

✢ This is because during her time hospitalized, Kokichi started up a guild called Vivarium to play with her even when he couldn't be there himself. One of the guild's special rules is to wear a mask in a certain style to keep anonymous- something that helped Yuuki get past her shyness when it came to meeting others.

✢ She had two months of intensive chemotherapy followed by two years of maintenance treatments. As of age 15, nearly 16, she’s been cancer-free.

✢ The guild remained active this entire time. The guild doesn't specifically center itself around one game anymore and it has generally just become an online group where people can have fun interacting with one another. She occasionally streams video games with Kokichi while in their Vivarium masks and often does charity runs so they could donate the proceedings to any group that helps sick children.

✢ She is a very studious girl who not only kept up on her homework while hospitalized, but grew to have aspirations in creating hardware for games that made them more accessible to those with illnesses or disabilities. The games got her through a lot, so she now seeks to make it possible for other children suffering from illness or handicaps the same entertainment that comes with games.

✢ They also mail out glitter bombs. That's just. A service they provide from their online shop. Deliver glittery justice upon your foes today!

✢ She's only recently moved into Recollé herself at the beginning of the school year and currently shares an apartment with her brother, Kokichi. As such, she's newer to the area, but eagerly checking out the new places and meeting new people.

LOOKING FOR: Members of the guild they made as kids, Vivarium! Either former or current (it got its start five years ago, if you need a timeline). People who keep up with her streams, classmates, coworkers, bring it!
sleepingknight: ([Curious] that accepts me)

We talked about this on a previous workshop, but I'd still like for Elliot and her to know each other via the guild! He probably hasn't been active in the guild since moving off to Recolle for college, but maybe in high school he did stuff with them?
sleepingknight: ([Victory] that light)

[personal profile] sleepingknight 2019-01-16 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
Yes please! She probably started going by Lily while he was there, and that's something she's kept even now. With the guild continuing to run strong, she's definitely still recognizably running with it in the streams and such!

grabby hands yes please!!

Oh god he's just the Angry One. She may or may not actually just remember him by that. Hopefully that doesn't destroy her chances of funding immediately.
