social_linked | CR planning post

As this is an AU of sorts, it wouldn't hurt to have a little planning and coordination. See if some characters don't start off knowing each other or anything like that. AU your dudes as much or as little as possible; this is the place to do it! Build your social links, be part of the world.

And never forget to bring SP recovering items. You're fucked if your SP hits 0.

HOW TO MEME:

1. Copy/paste the form
2. Fill out the form
3. Plan shit
4. We're all adults here, I trust you don't need me to hold your hand through this

Player Name: 
Preferred Contact: We're all friends here, but best to have this just in case

Character Name:
About them: A sentence or two of what they're like, what they're into, general personality stuff.
AU info: The main setting is Tokyo, 2017. What's their life like here? How different from canon, if different at all? You don't have to change much of anything, if you don't want to; we're playing it fast and loose here
Persona and arcana: It's a persona game, so having these is kinda mandatory. And no, you're not hard locked in terms of how you summon them. Break tarot cards, use evokers, rip off your face, do the macarena, the choice is yours.
Superhero theme: Due to reasons, the characters take up the mantle of superheroes to protect the city from the ever looming shadow threat. What's their costume like? Do they have a cool name? Have fun with this part.
Superpower: Enhanced strength and endurance come natural with having a persona, but oftentimes you'll get a power unique to you. Laser eyes? Even more strength? You decide!
CR goals: Anything in particular you'd like to do with your character? Say so here and see if these wonderful people can't help make that happen!
Other Info We Should Know: Peak RP hours, stupid gifs, anything under the umbrella of etc.

I have a few characters for this, so I'm just going to put the top level stuff here.

Character Name: Oswald Damos (Actual name: Oswald Abelard)
About them: Quiet, aloof, and dangerous, he has a resting face that makes people either want to avoid him or hit him. Trained to be brutal and efficient in battle, he doesn't know much of a life outside of espionage. He often acts on his own, but he really just wants to gain a peaceful life.
AU info: Once an heir of the Titania Corporation that rooted itself in Tokyo during the 90s, his grandfather, Gallon, hired kidnappers to take him from his home because his father married outside of their class. Though intercepted by Melvin Damos of a rival corporation, Oswald was raised to become a hitman and spy for Ringford, Inc. He's reasonably come to despise both his grandfather and Melvin (see Dungeon later), and has a uncertain relationship with his parents upon finding out the truth. Only Cornelius really seems to put up with him in the halls of Minoru High...
Persona and arcana: Lü Bu, Tower Arcana. He breaks his card in his hand in order to personally follow up with his blade.
Superhero theme: A Modern Black Knight. Though he dons armor, he doesn't wear a helm going for a mask instead.
Superpower: Berserk. More at ease with his Shadow after accepting it, his Persona doesn't mind letting a little more power bleed into him... though, increased strength and speed can come at the cost of momentarily losing his mind.
CR goals: His life sucks and he doesn't know how to socialize. He needs people outside of his cousin to befriend him and help lower his impulsiveness to use punching things as a solution.
Other Info We Should Know: Edgelord. That is all.

Character Name: Rosalia Rossellini
About them: A bright ball of sunshine and very naive. She's honest to a fault and wears her emotions on her sleeve so it's never too hard to tell how she's feeling. Easily fascinated by almost everything, she likes gardening and is up for cooking for everyone (additional items for dungeon crawling)
AU info: A teenage girl living with Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome, she doesn't attend public school and is frequently in the hospital. She lives nearby the establishment with her adoptive father and adopted brother, and pretty much knows everyone on the hospital staff. Despite having very few friends at the hospital around her age and none outside the hospital, she's still gives off an amazingly positive vibe and smile.
Persona and arcana: Her starting persona is Psyche and her Arcana is the Sun. As support, she doesn't really have a method to summon and just... does.
Superhero theme: Since she hangs back and observes, Rosalia doesn't need to go into public and thus doesn't require a superhero theme.
Superpower: She has a good perception of people's moods and can easily locate them.
CR goals: She wants to get to know and befriend everyone on the team. She's shy at first, but once characters get to know her, she definitely wants to take care of them.
Other Info We Should Know: Don't worry, she's not infectious in this RP.

Character Name: Adrien Agreste
About them: Calm, chivalrous, and kind, Adrien is someone who surprises many by pretty much being the opposite of his father. Sure, he's been shut-in most of his life and doesn't possess so much street smart, but he manages to remain positive and persevere through tough times.
AU info: Born as the only child to an international fashion icon, he's lived a life of privilege and loneliness. With a missing mother, a workaholic father, and a few friends (read: one), he keeps a self-imposed busy schedule, trying to get his dad to pay some attention to him. Coming to Tokyo to help promote a new line being launched, at least he's allowed to attend public school for once... if only because his father was, again, too busy to arrange for tutors this time, but it might only be a matter of time. Of course, with a smile, he's going to try doing everything he can...
Persona and arcana: His starter is Puss in Boots, Star Arcana. While superhero'd up, he cuts the card preferably with his claws. When not, his rapier will do.
Superhero theme: Since his father cannot find out what he's doing, Adrien goes for a theme completely unexpected of a boy to usually go with, and for clothes he wouldn't normally wear by taking on a very punniful cat disguise self-titled 'Chat Noir'.
Superpower: He might be too into the cat theme because his power is feline physiology. At least it makes him really hard to hit.
CR goals: Adrien is good for any and all interactions. He's ridiculously polite so if your character makes him uncomfortable, he probably isn't going to voice discomfort immediately.
Other Info We Should Know: He's not forthcoming with his actual emotions unless as Chat Noir. He's self-critical and becomes depressed when he's told he's failed, disappointed, etc. anyone.

Character Name: Naomi Kimishima
About them: Cool and collected, she's someone who willingly works around illness and death on a daily. She doesn't take nonsense and treats most issues that come to her critically. Really, she doesn't understand what it means to 'lighten up' unless generally moments involving her daughter, Alyssa.
AU info: A medical examiner at an all too familiar hospital (see: Rosalia), Naomi lives a secluded life that involved a lot of travel and a special permit to return to her home country after being given an official apology from the government. Her years in America definitely make her stand out among her co-workers, and making a living examining the dead even more so. Now, that doesn't even include her being a single mother, but again, she doesn't like too many people knowing about her personal life.
Persona and arcana: Her beginning Persona is Toyotama-hime for the Hanged Man Arcana. When she breaks her card, she's casual about it, breaking it in her hand.
Superhero theme: She doesn't take on her superhero theme often, but her theme is the Devil Doctor. She does not mind the horns, mask, or suit.
Superpower: Enhanced healing abilities... with a side effect of death hearing amplified once/if she gets Persephone.
CR goals: She's the team's healer off the clock and can also slip those supplies. As well, she is Team Mom when not Team Medic and willing to hear people out... or scold them.
Other Info We Should Know: She shouldn't try adopting everyone... I don't think.

Character Name: Velvet Valentine (she was not taking her father's name, but dang it if it has to be shared with her Grandfather)
About them: Stern, but gentle, Velvet can be hospitable and fierce. She's very mature for her age, but has her moments of reacting without thinking especially when loved ones are involved. She's very Big Sister.
AU info: One twin born from the union between Odin and Ariel, Velvet fled her mother's home after her grandfather turned abusive. Escaping pretty much halfway across the world with her brother, Ingway, she tries (and fails) to acknowledge her father's presence in Tokyo and the lingering shadows of guilt leaving their mother behind. She's a co-owner and Head Barista of Shinjuku's Pooka Café in a long-distance relationship with Cornelius... only, it's grown closer recently.
Persona and arcana: She's Little Red with the Big Bad Wolf Persona and she represents the Fortune Arcana. She breaks her card with a crack of her whip.
Superhero theme: Her theme is reminiscent of a beautiful belly dancer, bangles, veil, and all. She prefers Scarlet Dancer, but some call her a Scarlet Princess.
Superpower: Perception. She's no where near as strong as a Support character, but thing of her as having Danger Intuition. She can pick up on nearby Shadows' ill-will as well as people's. It also provides an opportunity to counter close-ranged attacks.
CR goals: She takes classes online so not really any chance for school interactions, but if people come by the café, she doesn't mind serving them up something to drink and helping them out with any problems.
Other Info We Should Know: Uhm... baby got back? I don't know, she's stuck in all the family issues too with Gwendolyn, Oswald, and Cornelius because... AUs don't save these characters from those problems.
