atem | yu-gi-oh!

[darkgame]

PLAYER: Taphy
CHARACTER: Atem
CANON: Yu-Gi-Oh!


AU NAME: Adam Mounir
AU AGE: 23-25
AU OCCUPATION: A college intern, and specifically a polisci major.
BLURB:
- His parents moved from Egypt to Recolle.
- So, he was born in Recolle and has lived here all his life!!
- He wants to be a politician like his father!
- At least that's what he thinks he wants. He never thought about doing anything else, and he was always about making his parents happy and living up to their standards. He likes the idea of being a civil servant and working towards a better future, but whether it'll be as like his dad or not who knows.
- He's burnt out and depressed, but heck if anyone will ever know it!! Bottle those feelings and let them age like a fine wine.
- MUCH LIKE HIS CANON SELF HE'S DIFFICULT TO READ. Humor will be a larger defense mechanism to keep people from knowing that he's depressed. He still makes bad puns.
- A huge online gamer.
- He's incredibly hush about it because he finds most hardcore gamers annoying, and he prefers his privacy.
- He's that jackass that procrastinates and finishes all his school work last minute, but somehow manages to ace his exams.

There's more I still need to think about, but that's what I have so far.

LOOKING FOR: other college students, roommates to hang out with, and some tinkering with his past! I'm open to a lot of stuff.
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: sup

hi taphy it's snow

Kon's a 17yo that's been in college for a while bc prodigy child and enjoys gently harassing people he's fond of, science, and also video games. Even if he hacks them sometimes.

leggy

[darkgame]

can they hate each other because of the hacking thing

like what the heck can't you play like a normal person why you gotta hack shit kon

[refate]

Because

It's there
And hackable

I don't have any of my shrugging icons available rn but like, why not hack it, my guy.

[storytelleroftime]

Yeah he and Magilou will get along great. What with them both using humor as a coping mehanism while bottling up their feelings. Maybe they could be friends or possibly roommates??? Idk I'm up for whatever.

[darkgame]

Yes! Just a large amount of shitposting because what better way to past the time and ignore a major term paper then online with your friends?

[storytelleroftime]

I know the feeling very well. Yeah they'll get along great as a part of the shitpost squad.

Re: atem | yu-gi-oh!

[gandora]

ROOMMATES.

[darkgame]

nah

[gandora]

:D

[flowrite]

HI THERE :D

So. I'm assuming at some point Atem and Kaiba are going to end up together, and Fai will end up with Kuro... and Sarah seems to think that Kaiba might need punching so I'm guessing it's not going to be amicable between him and Fai, but... I kind of like the idea of Atem and Fai becoming friends despite all that??

Obviously a lot needs to happen between now and then, and we'll have to talk to everybody about plans and things, but yes. Just registering interest at least :3

[darkgame]

I am down for that!! They could bond over how much they put up in regards to Kaiba. And friendship is always great.

[crushcard]

of course someone needs to punch kaiba in the face since he's transcended common sense somehow

[flowrite]

LMAO speaking of which, is there any sort of plan for how things are going to go down? The problem as I see it is that Fai is very loyal, he'd be very unlikely to jump ship on Kaiba unless either Kaiba is a total ass to him or Kaiba strays first >_>;

(Obviously we'll have to see how things go, but it's probably better to make that part obvious up front!)

[godcards]

CLENCHES FIST

THEY'LL MEET SOMEHOW malik is only 16 though so ehhh idk. I'LL WORK IT OUT i just needed to comment because!! i'm excited!!!! I NEED TO EXPRESS THIS even if i'm not being particularly helpful rn, i'm sorry...!

[darkgame]

I know Kuma plans on having Yugi be a little bit younger so that could be a good connection. Otherwise I like the idea of Atem doing community services for kids ala big brother big sisters because it's the ~*~right thing to do~*~ and it looks good on resumes.

Re: atem | yu-gi-oh!

[prometheanflame]

Come be friends with the Egypt Jojo. If you want Atem to live in a house with other dudes and a shitty dog, there's space available.

[darkgame]

YES!

I am reading over your AU history for Mohammed in your application, and I think they could hit it off!! I was playing with the idea that Atem really doesn't have a connection to Egypt like his parents to mimic how he kinda gets hit with amnesia induced by a 3,000 year nap, and that he's pretty Americanized, but he'd want something because he also doesn't feel like he belongs? If that makes sense.

[roseblooms]

ONLINE GAMING

So Fawkes and Adam are pretty much in the same age bracket, both college students, and both big into online games — I believe Fawkes regularly helps Kaiba beta-test his games and he's otherwise pretty into Starcraft and frequents the arcade pretty regularly. Maybe they've crossed paths somewhere along the way?

[darkgame]

They can definitely do that! I'm still working out what kind of games, but I know he'd be probably into MMORPG. Starcraft is a REALLY good one!

[hauhra]

five bucks says bakura (or bakhura in this au) is exactly the kind of hardcore gamer atem would find annoying

[crushcard]

new phone who dis

[darkgame]

wrong number

[mincingminuet]

Online gamer. Meet. Online gamer with social skills? Penelo here is a 21 year old programming student with a bit of interest in politics so there's potential class CR. She's also that jackass that excels in school while also running a fairly famous YouTube channel to make a living. Game streams, crafts, art shit, all sorts of stuff like that, if he'd be interested or follow anyone on the Tubez.

[darkgame]

They could run into each other! Especially if they're in the same classes. I was muling over that he's probably the aide more than a student himself. I haven't quite settled on what sort of intern other than... intern. Mysterious intern.
