AU WORKSHOP

AU WORKSHOP - MARCH Welcome to Recollé's AU Workshop! On this post players new and old are encouraged to help one another make connections for their AU lives and to ask for or offer ideas if they so choose. Please respond to the post with the below form, and/or feel free to comment to anyone else to work things out! Please be aware that posting to this workshop does not guarantee you a reserve, and that multiple players are permitted to workshop the same character. Please find our mod questions comment here. Additionally, you can find our game-wide App This Please over here. IMPORTANT INFORMATION World Changes FAQ Game Calendar Plot Finds (ooc knowledge) • Reserves open on March 17th at 9pm EST! Please note; due to player polls, players may now apply for characters without a reservation. Applications open on March 24th 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 15 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.

GAMING FRIENDS..... Raina is also (somewhat) secretly a gaming nerd that goes under a different name online (she goes by Hime, or a variation of it) in MMOs and also likes playing a bunch of different characters so her typing style isn't consistent at all laughs.

[undiningaffection]

Gaming friends are definitely welcome! I'm open to them either meeting for the first time, or maybe knowing each other across a few different games for a while now.

...Asuna will be a lot nicer online than she is IRL, too.

[dereban]

OH definitely knowing each other across games would be nice... Raina is definitely nicer online than she is in person, given that she comes off a little prickly sometimes and distant even though she tries to be sociable.

"Tries" being the key word since she has trust issues, ahaha.

Although she's definitely friendly online for the most part and a bit of a shitposter unless she's doing a 'villain' role, which is rare! She doesn't bring up RL at all online though, so there's that too.

[undiningaffection]

Maybe we can go with the idea that she's an old gaming friend of Asuna's... either in a guild or just someone she knows she can partner up with and have fun. I need to come up with a game tag for her... I didn't realize she was going to have so many different names.

Asuna will probably be a lot more accommodating online. In canon she becomes a healer just because no one else in her group wanted to play one, and I think she'd fall into a similar pattern in the AU.

Also? I'm seeing so much potential already for dual identity shenanigans and I love it.

[dereban]

Raina probably doesn't do guilds - so just a partner would work! She probably understands how much it sucks to be a healer though in an MMO in spite of not playing one most of the time (she usually defaults to red mage/fighter classes) but she does play healer when she has to.

AND YES please give me shenanigans. . .

[undiningaffection]

Hmmm... maybe they've built up their characters to where they both have some healing abilities and load up on items otherwise(AKA my default JRPG party half the time)? Asuna wouldn't mind having a healing build of some kind, but she'd probably also want to fight sometimes.

Oh, there will be shenanigans. Perhaps even goings on as well! They'll have to have an awkward meeting IRL... then maybe vent about it online to each other, not realizing who the other is talking about.

[dereban]

Yeah, definitely! She wouldn't really mind her wanting to fight since she can cover healing as a red mage even if it isn't as good as a normal healer (basically she's back up if any other healers die in big raids and bosses).

I'd definitely like an awkward meeting IRL for sure; she might not talk too much about it online (since she doesn't like talking about RL online) but if Asuna wants to vent, Raina is here for it, although it's possible she might clue in since she's an analyst + taking psychology classes ahaha.
