...so I have a couple of dumb propositions here:

-Silver was a pretty dedicated fan of her doujin before she moved over to Recolle and Riko has caught him reading it on his laptop/tablet at at least one point before

-they have never actually met but Riko still makes her doujin and leaves them in some inconspicuous part of the school where Silver takes them and leaves behind tens or twenties and one day they'll finally run into each other

-Riko knows him as that kind of sketch dude in Yoshiko's gang but hey if Yoshiko's a dork maybe he is too right, maybe

-some combination of the above

idk hi I found Riko's stuff to be really cute

[ceded]

GOOD YES PERFECT. they are ice cream buddies, it is now canon. tbh they probably get on like a house on fire

LMFAO ok honestly to be fair i too have only played persona 3 for like an hour. P4 is where my heart rests. YU IS JUST A SERIOUS BUT ALSO VERY WEIRD DUDE who eats strange foods and has a terrible sense of humor. he and sora might have classes or electives together depending so it's totally up to you if you wanna work something out for them!! i am cool either way, maybe they can meet after sora gets in too and just be lame protagonist buddies

[chiseler]

ANNA IF YOU DIDNT THINK I WAS GOING TO DO THIS YOU DONT KNOW ME VERY WELL...but also good luck trying (I was rereading some of Damian and Percy's threads last night and hated every minute of it.)

COME AT ME BRO!!!

But okay okay god if they're both in college I want to say they've probably somehow accidentally run into each other before. Possibly literally, because Hiro is still tiny. But also please let them build something stupid. FOR OBVIOUS REASONS I CAN'T HAVE HIRO REALLY ACCOMPLISH MUCH IN TERMS OF HACKING....but he'd be here to support all of Tim's hopes and dreams?? Please love him

Oh my god. I'm wheezing, please do it. Lucy and I are having Hiro and Levy from Fairy Tail work at the same comic shop so I feel like Tim would just be having a friggin crisis about superhero regains while Hiro's being useless and yelling at Levy in an intense Pokémon battle. This sounds perfect

[feistytrader]

sign me up to be part of aligula's gang, and also potentially maybe they had a fling if you go for the younger ages idk HI BELLA

[neatlytuned]

LMAO that's great this will definitely work out

what kind of games does dave usually like to play?

[chiseler]

Look he will take birdmax with him wherever is allowed? he'd be delighted if he could take his bird to work sometimes. Birdmax would probably like Levy too wtf

THAT. #CITATIONNEEDED

[thesettingsun]

If you go for the older age range, I'm here for her being an ex-stalker of Shuji's who he is absolutely t e r r i f i e d of

just, imagine him starting to shake if she even enters the same room

[admiringly]

aaaa i love yukine!

chiyo is 16, just turned 17, so she'd be a little older than him, but she would definitely befriend him and try to help him not be so chaotic. she also knows yato bc yato likes to bug her best friend a lot.

if anything, something far-fetched is that chiyo's au last name is also matsuoka, so that could be something to work with?

[ex_parables410]

LET'S BE CHURCH FRIENDS...

Also Robin poses for Libra's drawings on the DL y/y/y???

[discharged]

DANA PLEASE!! flings my arms wide open for star child anya, either way they will probably end up classmates... please let ranch kanji be her friend and let designer kanji possibly dress her up or help with her idol outfits

[chiseler]

I'm cracking up, spite-buying is so hilarious to me...meanwhile Hiro's just raging like "THOSE ONES AREN'T EVEN INTERESTING!!!" but ultimately just seethes and begrudgingly asks what he thought of them the next time he comes into the shop. This sounds good to me, I love it! What a good jumping-off point for them. We'll make it work and it'll be fun o7

[strategyguide]

You know what? That might actually be enteretaining and an interesting experience.

just wait until Robin remembers that he's essentially the anti-christ. That'll be fun

[cattack]

hello! i have a girl who also has no parents and is studying to be a police officer or detective as well. they seem similar enough so maybe they could be classmates and know each other that way? (she has cute cat-print bags and stuff so hey a weakness for cute things can be a good way to get started.)

[discharged]

WHEJRKFL I LOVE THIS SO MUCH... please tell me what kurama's jam is, i have no idea what i'll do with that knowledge but i want to know

either way he's got a straight shot into kanji's heart

[scriptive]

LEVY IS ALL FOR HIM BEING ALLOWED TO HAVE HIS BIRD AT WORK because she will like birdmax...what great employees

gestures at game GESTURES AT CR

[feistytrader]

...let me throw some ideas at you hold up

-Elda fostered Silver for a while; Elda's probably the foster parent he's actually liked the most and maybe she gave him gymnastics or karate lessons or some shit to give him some kind of direction and encouraged him to be a little less of a shit before he went back to the orphanage/into a new home/whatever for whatever reasons, but either way they were some kind of family like thing for at least a year or so and it was actually nice at the time but now shit's just kind of awkward

-Elda's this lady that he kind of just visits once in a while; she's lonely and understands that she shouldn't be sheltering teenagers, much less freaking delinquents, but he's relatively quiet and polite in her company and usually brings her something cool or helps clean or something and likes playing with her pets.

-Silver's heard of her from the other orphans as this pretty cool if a little overbearing foster parent and is resentful of her because he too wants to be doted over even if he'll totally never admit it so he's egged her house at least once and they argue constantly but they have a shaky truce over cats

-They met in some stupid stint where he attempted robbing her when he was idk 13-14 and instead of turning him in to the cops she has him come clean her big ass house every week until he's 18, which could mean that they either can't stand each other, have grown attached to each other over time, or have grown attached to each other but have a relationship entirely built on potshots and sass.

-IDK I'M DOWN WITH WHATEVER CHARLES

[admiringly]

chiyo hangs out with makoto often, so i'm sure she and kiryu know each other at least in passing? but i'm also here if he'd dad friend her because she'd also fuss over him just eating cup noodles because that's awful for you???

[trivialization]

But beautiful isn't perfect.

PLAYER: Limon
CHARACTER: Alex Mercer
CANON: [ PROTOTYPE ]


AU NAME: Alex J. Mercer
AU AGE: 28
AU OCCUPATION: Research scientist specializing in genetics.

BLURB: ◘ Spent most of his life bouncing around the foster system with his sister, Dana, after their parents died at a young age.
◘ Has a natural knack for science and medicine as books were the only constant he had while younger.
◘ Not your stereotypical bookworm, as he's quite abrasive and not afraid of confrontation.
◘ Grew up in New York so has the general brusque mannerism and speech.
◘ All around a general unpleasant person who seems to delight in causing conflicts, but gets away with it because of his intelligence and station in his career which is highly respected.
◘ Completely onboard with unethical practices in the name of science, less in it for the knowledge and more just to see what happens.
◘ Smokes like a train and doesn't take care of his health, barely eats anything.
◘ Occasionally tries to do the right thing but it's more him just going through the motions to appease his sister.
◘ Has a huge problem with authority in general, especially the military.
◘ Makes a good salary but doesn't really spend it on much, though he has a soft spot for leather jackets

LOOKING FOR: Coworkers, science types, fellow adults he can be snarky and shady with, kids he can "mentor" and by that I mean be a horrible influence on-- he only does this to appease Dana basically. Also people who would put up with him being a horrible human being, bonus points if you actually push back against him.

[chaoticdrifting]

He will def be confused. XD

'But this book doesn't say anything about living vampires. What's a living vampire? Is that like not dead bitten and changed type?"

[admiringly]

julia hello!! this is ara

if you want an old friend, chiyo can be an old friend. she's sweet and friendly, and she would cheer on his rock star endeavors? buys all his music and posters in support, etc

but if not, she can still be a new classmate and still be his friend since she just turned 17 a couple weeks ago

[bitemefightme]

I'm down for Orion being that weird person he's friends with for reasons no one can fathom.

Orion's messy, kind of reclusive, a total shithead who doesn't care what others think. Why would he befriend a friendly bookworm? That's like... almost the opposite of his taste in people he gets stuck hanging out with.

[chiseler]

Hello hello! I just wanted to pop in and say that I'm excited to see you workshopping Naminé! She's one of my favorites from the KH franchise so this is a pleasant surprise. In reviewing what you already have mapped out I think this is a really good route to go for her AU! It gives you a lot of potential for her growth in-game and also a lot of ways to trigger memory regains which is always a huge plus. I really like the idea of her being a few years older than her canonical age, too. It suits her, and the parallel of being sheltered and lost is really neat to see. The personality differences suit her, too, while keeping her still as her core personality. TL;DR nice job, this looks great!

In terms of CR, I have this jerk who's 23 and owns a bar but he's from a well-off family as well and has been living in the city his entire life. Also he tends to be nicer to kids since he has a 17-year-old sister. Additionally I'm planning to app Hiro from Big Hero 6 who's a few years younger than she is, but he's in college majoring in robotics/mechanics, so he may have very well seen her around campus. Additionally he also has a YouTube channel that he runs for science experiments/explaining how shit works/etc and also kind of grew up with a lot of socialization from the internet.

Either way, I'm excited to see this and hope you join us this round!

[bitemefightme]

Friendspls? Blunt people are best people. You can expect Orion to simultaneously snark and get along with this guy.

And their personality similarities are a fantastic match.

[parrotwhisperer]

PLAYER: Ryuuto
CHARACTER: Nico di Angelo
CANON: Percy Jackson & the Olympians


AU NAME: Nico [haven't decided on last name being changed or not]
AU AGE: 15
AU OCCUPATION: High school student
BLURB: HERE WE GO

*Born and raised in Venice or Florence, Italy. His father is American while his mother's an ambassador. Mother sent him to America for his high school years so that he can connect with his American family better. They plan on having him back home in Italy for the holidays, but who knows if that'll actually pan out.
*Currently living with his cousin, Kath, and his three rottweilers (if Abi's cool with that!).
*Total nerd for Dungeons and Dragons. He loves to DM as well as be a player in a campaign.
*He works at McDonald's part-time to earn money to buy his own figurines, books, and maps for games. Nico saves any leftover cash for video games, too. Like his sub for Last Fiction XIV.
*REALLY FUCKING SHY unless someone gains his interest or annoys him enough to form a weird friendship like Leo did.
*Probably has two sisters, but I'm being vague about that.

LOOKING FOR: Family, friends, acquaintances, rivals, people willing to trash-talk America in Italian

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: God...I'm p sure he's a sure thing I'll be putting here.
