[recollecters]

Hello! After reviewing this, we have decided that in this case since the character in question is also appable and given the circumstances of the canon, this would not be a thing we could accept at this time. We hope this helps!

[buncho]

Mafuyu does not have a best friend yet (or like... any close friends outside of Chiyo who she also knew from being kids) so best friend cr would be so so good :3c THEY CAN BE NEIGHBORHOOD MENACES TOGETHER water gun fights up and down the streets, skateboarding down the hills, I once wrote in a tag months ago that Mafuyu once set up a tightrope across the river in the forest and practiced walking across it despite, you know, not knowing how to swim, but that's something ridiculous I can see them doing together. Food = automatic friendship

What respectable household doesn't display family portraits right in your face the moment you open the door? Honestly. (my aunt did this but she used it to scare away burglars but idk)

[jakotsu]

Yo, this is Luna, and if Eizen goes through with the host thing then there's a good chance he and this guy will wind up coworkers!!

[livens]

WELL IF SHE WANTS HINATA AS HER BEST FRIEND i'd be down and they could terrorize...everyone...sorry everyone.............also hinata canonically can tightrope and shit and he would absolutely have agreed to do the tightrope thing THE SKATEBOARDING, THE WATER GUN FIGHTS, mafuyu calls him up for pirate movie shit he's like "i'm already there", etc. HE...SURE DOES LIKE TO KEEP ACTIVE...

that is the best thing and hinata sees no issues w it?

[alitaba]

TY.

NOW YOU GOTTA.

but yes hello futaba is 16 here! i am 100% here for them being casual schoolfriends?! before the P4 team descends on her and futaba goes ah yes this one is mine now

[buncho]

YESYESYES RIP RECOLLE
asdflkjh I'm glad tightrope walking is a thing for him, Mafuyu's one canon skill skill is morse code and I'm just :'') she's trying to be a good girl haha

I'm so glad, they can both fuel and expend each other's energy so the rest of the city doesn't have to deal with their shit lmao

[jakotsu]

Hi, my name is Luna! Jakotsu here is going to be the same age as Clover, so they could be acquaintances from school years (anything before end of high school where Jakotsu drops out), though I think this would veer more into negative childhood/teenhood CR.
Clover sounds like the type Jakotsu is irritated and kind of intimidated by, being a carefree delinquent himself.

He's also going to work at Majima's club, so he'd be coworkers with Rose for current we-are-aware-of-each-other relation.

[pronounces]

!!!! OK SO MANY THINGS

FIRST YES, DAVE, nazuna as child star is totally different than nazuna as person now, if he saw him in the dance studio he might have seen him just like. totally stop talking at one point in time lol. but he was always at his happiest there... so there's that.

also i doubt it'll come up but oh man they can bond over the fucking puppet thing

ALSO YES TO KYOUKO, they would make a cute duo!! seniors!!!! she's cute and very serious isn't she ♥ does she live in the dorms?? AND OBVIOUSLY YES, HINATA, COME TO MY ARMS!!!!!!!!!! ADOPTS

[buncho]

Yeah! I have Minato's app ready to go aside from the sample, so it's mostly just getting accepted and then changing parts of Minako's au history to reflect Minato's I think, but!! Probably later into the game, Minato will wander by ReVA sometimes to check up on Minako and can run into Rise there too, so that can always happen :D

LMAO that's the best. Yuff was saying on plurk
"everyone else is like welp that's just mafuyu she's a special girl
while Eren seethes at her existence and Elliot's terrified"
and I just laughed bc she has so many enablers and I guess she and Hinata are best friends now and when will Chiaki come home so the Morisawas can take family pictures together?? Mafuyu wants to meet all three of them

bruno von granzreich | the royal tutor

[unenvied]

PLAYER: January
CHARACTER: Bruno von Granzreich
CANON: The Royal Tutor

AU NAME: Bruno [insert last name]
AU AGE: 16
AU OCCUPATION: High school student
BLURB:

• Born in Austria to a wealthy family.
• They moved to Recolle when he was a kid.
• He got bullied at school, so his parents withdrew him and had him homeschooled.
• But this year he's made a comeback (?)!! He's going to try and live like a normal teenager damn it—aka he's recently started attending high school.
• He also moved out (to Birch Hill maybe?).

• A nerd who gets perfect grades because he will despair over anything less.
• He's not 100% sure what he wants to do with his life, but possibly plans to study sociology or law in uni.
• Outside of class, he plays the violin, tutors people, and volunteers at the orphanage?? Also he hangs out at the library/book store a lot.
• Speaks of a bunch of different languages, including German and Russian.
• He's basically clueless about anything else outside of the above because he's been sheltered (and spoiled, albeit in a well-meaning way) for so long, so. He's the kind of person who peers into cafe windows but never goes inside because he needs to??? figure out the etiquette first????
• He's also the person who probably sets off the smoke alarm a lot as he tries to figure out how to cook. I'm sorry.

• Essentially he's a straight-laced dork and perfectionist who will nag/mom everyone ever.

LOOKING FOR:

• Schoolmates!! Also, people to tutor.
• Fri... ends... Bruno is probably a little new to the world of friendship, though—
• Though I think I might keep his sibling life blank, I'm up for any other relatives!
• People to nag at??
• Mentor types/respectable people for him to look up to/fanboy over.......
• Anything and everything tbh

[alitaba]

okay but

gestures to the two of them

they're so on the opposite scale of things it'll either end up amazing or awful but it's bound to be delightfully chaotic??

[sunnymerc]

i wsnt to milk charlotte being fake and soleil soooo long from now finds out and is just "that's weird just be yourself! /shrugs".

alternatively she sees through it immediately and just doesn't say anything about it, ever, because she doesn't think it's an issue.

[justchords]

LMAO SORRY he's going to be a defense attorney!

[justchords]

HE WANTS FRIENDS he will accept the law school drop out as a friend so long as he doesn't convince him to cut class

Mammon of Greed | Umineko

[wantnotneed]

PLAYER: Haki
CHARACTER: Mammon of Greed
CANON: Umineko no Naku Koro Ni

AU NAME: Manon... something
AU AGE: 24
AU OCCUPATION: Probably a hostess at a hostess bar or something similar
BLURB:

- she moved to recolle after graduating from a university elsewhere. major(s) is up in the air.
- started working as a hostess because the glamorous life was attractive. she thinks it's fun. got to meet a lot of interesting people, etc. she goes by a different name while working to separate her work persona from her actual life.
- she frequents the recolle public library because she's actually a bookworm nerd and is the type that flies through wikipedia from page to page and loses track of her time. because of this, she knows a lot of weird trivia
- she's also pretty nosy, but the type to keep your secret unless she needs to blackmail you
- let her make you drinks (for a price)
- she loves money and material things... hence, greed

LOOKING FOR:

- family! i'd love for her to be a sister to someone that suddenly came back into their life two years ago. give her a last name
- housemates...
- friends... be it recently made or childhood friends
- people she met at the hostess bar or the library
- coworkers!
- maybe they online dated
- potential blackmail victims
- give me anything

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: nah...

[broughtthegirl]

I’d be down for it! Would you want them to have known each other?

[broughtthegirl]

yESSSS! Honestly, I had been itching for CR with Eleanor ANYWAY, and I’m so glad that she and Noct are talking. But I’d absolutely love CR with her and Booker, for sure.

He’s been in Recolle for nearly a year. Maybe they’ve met somewhere along the way there?

[livens]

"♪ Bullshit Circus & Etc. Skills: tightrope walking, flying trapeze (of note he did this WITHOUT PRACTICING and said it was easy after all and was able to do special tricks on the first go, what the actual fuck), balancing on one of those large plastic balls in a variety of positions (sitting, handstand, etc), generalized acrobatics, juggling, balancing on his hands on a ball while Yuta balances on the soles of Hinata's feet BECAUSE WHY THE FUCK NOT, underwater acrobatics (???), synchronized swimming, doing handstands on top of stacked chairs, apparently he knows some kung fu?, he can use a chain weight weapon why, KNOWS PRESSURE POINTS because he's been studying massage techniques because what the fuck are the Aoi twins, breathing fire, balloon art, yoga poses???"

so someday he can teach her to breathe fire WHAT THEN

[broughtthegirl]

who tf are u

[broughtthegirl]

Yes! I’m down for this! Since he does private eye work and handyman work, there’s that too. So they could have met through a job at some point.

[livens]

THAT'S FINE dave is like, fine with not chatting honestly...? he chats with everyone whenever but he would have been casual about it...and look maybe it will someday

KYOUKO LIVES IN AN APARTMENT WITH A CASTMATE but they could be friends??? adopting hinata is fine tho

[jakotsu]

Jakotsu here is also a delinquent who loves fighting and not listening to rules! He's two years older and dropped out of high school, but I imagine they might have been aware of each other or hung out despite the grade difference back in the day.

I can imagine Jakotsu would like him pretty well, so if he's okay with an older flamboyant and kind of dumb fellow extrovert hanging around him, they might still be "friends"?

[yeeeeeeah]

see you in class, kid! i think hizashi's Extra nature and weird (read his idea of "fun") sentences for grammar practice and less than classical reading selections might rock bruno a little? though he can totally relate to the nagging part hizashi is also a bubbly person who tries to get shy kids out of their shell

[androidheart]

That's great!!! She'd be really appreciative of the people she sees there when she's performing often--like regulars that come to see her. She'd totally come up to her after she was done and thank her profusely as ask what she thought.

and then later it gets HECKIN SAD

[buncho]

he has more skills than most videogame protags wtf

she has been trying all last month to set things on fire/make things explode with little success, so breathing fire = recolle's going to burn, obv. between hinata knowing kung fu and pressure points and anya being a skilled marksman(???), what are idols even
