- unsure if i'd app anytime soon
- miss playing zero
- have been thinking about what it'd be like to have zero in recolle for a while...
WHICH IS TO SAY if you ever wanted to give the drakengard 3 cast a quirky dysfunctional but heartwarming family au and then slowly strip that away from them with the truth, i'd be happy to hash ideas out for that! ( ´ ▽ ` )b
no subject
Honestly, so many Yoko Taro roleplayers crawled out of the woodwork for this workshop that I may be convinced, but I'll have to see how TDMing/reserves go as well as my rl stuff, so...who knows, I'm weak.
And I am ALWAYS here for establishing a fake happy family dynamic and slowly destroying it over time. I saw your comment on the meme, and I'm really into shady-but-sometimes-trying Zero, and I feel like that shadiness would just feed into One's own sensitive about being righteous. Because, you know...even if they're a closer family this time around, I'm sure they still probably get along the least. Was there anything you were thinking about in terms of their relationship (if they did end up in Recolle)?
no subject
honestly i'd need to canon review before even actually apping LMFAO but likewise man i did not expect the amount of yoko taro rpers... this might speed up when i app but we'll see we'll see!
BUT YEAH i thought the same for zero and one too honestly, they probably bicker a lot. zero might be shady for the sake of trying for her family but it's not like she'd actually tell everyone that (just another instance of zero having important info that'd be better shared but she just DOESN'T MENTION IT, although once again one is probably clever enough to figure that out on her own). i was thinking that one probably tries to nag zero into doing something more meaningful with her life instead of just unhelpful shady antics which she blows off, while zero probably backhandedly tries to advise one to take a break from things and not work herself to death which she likewise blows off. they also probably take potshots at each other about being unsociable and friendless because lbr here even in a happier au they're probably pretty friendless..........
also there's a good chance that baren down in the comments here is gonna be an ex/friends with benefits for zero so if one knows him as THAT GUY SHE FUCKING HATES that's another level of antagonism to add for zero and one HAHAHA
THAT'S JUST WHAT I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT THOUGH did you have anything else in particular for what their relationship might be like?
no subject
I really like those ideas, honestly. I think even though One in canon kind of didn't want to deal with Zero's shit from the start, One is this AU probably started out admiring her quite a bit...just to make the disillusionment and tension more heartwrenching, I think. One probably wanted her affection and still does!! and wants to give hers to others but is still very bad at showing it. But there's probably still more attachment there regardless...I mean, we wouldn't want to waste the trauma involved in getting back memories of trying to gank each other, right?
At first I kind of wanted everybody to be legit blood related, but the more I think about it, the more I wonder if they should be fosters/adopted? It might make more sense with there being a lot of them very close in age, but I'm happy to hear your thoughts on this one.
ALSO DO YOU HAVE...any brilliant ideas for a last name? I'm still totally stuck even if I know I want it to be something music related even if it's really obscure.
edit: I'm probably gonna throw something up on the TDM tonight even if I'm still not sure about apping this round, providing I stop feeling kind of shitty. I know you were planning on reviewing before committing but I'd definitely be happy to dick around there a bit if you want!
no subject
but yeah i really like all that! i feel like they must care about each other a lot, but they're both just really bad at showing it... neither of them knows how to openly show affection well. no matter how badly they get along remembering that they wanted to kill each other with all their heart will probably be horrifying.
i've been thinking about it too and yeah being fosters/adopted makes more sense in the long run i think. i still have it so that zero remembers her mom abandoning her, but if they were all blood-related figuring out the logistics of everyone's ages and why they wouldn't remember it as well would probably be hard/weird. like maybe her mom just keeps coming back every year to dump a new baby at the orphanage, but as awful as that'd be it's also kind of crazy LMFAO. the only reservation i really have is if some (maybe all?) of them got adopted then i wonder how long zero did shit to try and support everyone, but that probably wouldn't be too hard to work around.
I REALLY LIKE HAVING A MUSIC RELATED LAST NAME although it'll probably make them sound italian or german haha, but after looking at a musical term glossary on wikipedia hmm... assai, bellicoso, calando, geteilt, melisma, and rubato all appeal to me for meanings, and i feel like they're obscure enough that they almost sound like they could be names haha.
and yes i will definitely tag you on the tdm!! i'll probably throw something on there myself too, BUT I'M READY TO DICK AROUND FOR THIS DYSFUNCTIONAL YOKO TARO FAMILY.
no subject
I really like Calando, Geteilt, or Melisma...the second two especially for their meaning. I feel like Geteilt is the most 'look at how clever we are, WINK WINK' name, and god knows I love those.
Maybe Zero's mom got repeat customer credit at the orphanage? :thinking: But nah, I think non-blood related is the way to go...and words as a good analogue for how some of the girls seemed to have different """"memories"""" of their families. Lookin at you Four. And that could leave it open ifffff like...anybody DID want to bring in two siblings, D3 or otherwise, who just happened to be the "related ones" who got scooped up at once. Then they all either could have like, ended up in the same rough situation or aged out or something.
OUR IDEAS ARE SO GREAT, WE ARE SO SMART!!
Also, definitely feel free to grab me on plurk or w/e if you wanna think things out more before you commit or not. I'm probably putting in a reserve before they close tonight but like, will I go through with it? Who knows?
no subject
rose geteilt, jasmine geteilt... yeah i like how these sound like they could be real names LMFAO and it having such a good meaning too just makes it like WOW, LOOK, WE DEFINITELY PUT A LOT OF THOUGHT INTO THIS!!
THAT'S A GOOD POINT FOR BEING NON-BLOOD RELATED god their family just has so much room to be dysfunctional and weird i love it. especially if more of the sisters ever DO end up apping like... they manage to become so close to each other even if they're from all over the place and just all over the place as people but the truth is just terrible fucked up yoko taro shit. man i'd love it if more of them apped haha.
no subject
there's honestly no point in playing yoko taro characters unless you can do pretentious, only partially sensible things that may or may not actually add up to mean anything imo. so we have to go with the most pretentious name meaning possible.
dude my kingdom for ANYONE to play some of the other sisters...in particular i'd probably die to see four in an au setting because she's. gestures. i've bullied friends to admitting they MIGHT make accounts, but for some reason no one wants to be part of a happy dysfunctional family........yet.
