Meet, Greet, and Plot.

[nervegear]

So how many characters will this be after Kayaba's announcement?
«Meet and Greet»

Applications and reserves are closed. The first floor information post is now up. Along with the game officially starting on Saturday. That means it's time to Meet and Greet! Doubles as a chance to plot for CR and shenanigans while we're at it too.

«Your Name» What you would like to be called by.
«Contact» Your preferred method of OOC contact.

«Character(s)» Include their usernames and what canon they are from.
«Personality/AU Information» Just a quick and short rundown to give other players a general idea.
«Plans for character(s)» Are they going to leave the Starting City? Stick it out in the city for a week? Or just remain in denial and hang around hoping help will come? Try and level for the first floor boss fight? A short and quick run down is fine.
«CR you would like» Basically, is there any kind of CR you would like to see for your character(s)? Positive CR or Negative CR? Things like that.

«Your Name» Corinne
«Contact» spoilers is my plurk, my AIM's at corinneization! Feel free to use either, I don't post very much on plurk but I do check it a lot!

«Character(s)» Ky Kiske from Guilty Gear (this account!)
«Personality/AU Information» For the most part, a very polite, driven, justice-y young man! With a fair passive-aggressive side and the inability to let go of a grudge and no real understanding of any sort of morality besides BAD GUYS ARE BAD and not too good in social situations. He feels the need to tell people when he's making a joke. He likes playing hero and takes himself super seriously.

Thing to note for this AU is that he's slightly infamous in the MMO world for appearing to make annoying PSAs about one particular person, to the point where most people have come to expect his inevitable arrival with eyerolls and groans.
«Plans for character(s)» He is going to be doing ALL THE QUESTS because he'd like to be clearing the floors but he needs to make sure people are okay first! He'll also probably get groups of people together to grind so he can make sure everyone's leveling up. I'd love for him to eventually join some Guilds and shit as a parallel to canon armies. He'll also be trying to keep everyone's hopes up while assuring them that justice will be served! And then he'll feel guilty for having fun playing knight when people are actually dying.
«CR you would like» I love negative CR I LOVE NEGATIVE CR
-anyone who wants to recognize him as that annoying preachy guy from a previous MMO should go ahead!
-he's very easy to manipulate so I'd love to do something with that
-navel-gazing buddies
-Catholic buddies! Or French buddies!
-I also want meta CR with other fighting game characters
-he makes a lot of acquaintances but doesn't know how to friends

OH wait one last thing my laptop imploded about 4 hours ago so I am currently up in the air! Really pissed at this timing lmao

[proto_riot]

oh

it's you

[thundersealed]

you would be in this game, Sol

this is legit every first conversation they have in every game

[proto_riot]

not my problem you have to follow me everywhere like a lost little puppy

v(=u=)v

[vimdicare]

Erika's from a canon where navel-gazing and talking about TRUTH AND REALITY AND PHILOSOPHICAL STUFF is like a normal conversation so she'd be good for that at least!!!

Though she'll think he's annoying and stupid but doing all the quests makes him very appealing to her. Needs to get in on that party.

[thundersealed]

BUT WHAT IS JUSTICE? WHAT IS REALITY WHEN EVERYONE'S IN A VIDYA?

That's perfect because a) he is annoying and stupid and b) turning someone away from his quest-doing parties would be irresponsible, even if it's because he doesn't like her!!

[vimdicare]

Ohgod even my sample for Erika was like TRUTH IS THIS ALL FAKE so yeah perfect.

Ahaha excellent. She'll take advantage of his kindness! Maybe his stupid will even become endearing.

[thundersealed]

HAHA I definitely want him to have some sort of mini crisis of faith re: virtual reality and shit like that, so navel-gazing buddies (or 'buddies') are go!

That's the tricky thing about Ky: he's endearing stupid c:

[voyeur]

HELLO I HAVE A BAD GUY WHO JUST GENERATES TONS OF NEGATIVE CR. And he reaaaallllly likes manipulating.

Also he philosophizes like a freak, because I don't know, Narita really likes writing monologues about human nature.

[thundersealed]

UGH PERFECTO the philosophical illogical trolling mentioned up there ^ sounds like exactly the sort of thing Ky would fall for

and then he'd get mad at himself for not being able to argue his side correctly when he knows it's true and mad at Izaya

and then he'd do soul-searching to consider if what he said was actually true and try to broaden his horizons

and then he'd assume Izaya was just trying to point him in the right direction and be pleasant at him

[voyeur]

dgadsg oh my god Ky NO NO THAT IS NOT WHAT YOU SHOULD TAKE OUT OF IT NO

except Izaya sometimes insists that he screws with people "to help them grow and evolve" so yes Izaya would totally claim that this is to help Ky.

[thundersealed]

THIS IS A GLORIOUS TRAINWRECK AND I EAGERLY AWAIT IT

[constricted]

What a cool onii-chan...

No but seriously, if he needs to play hero, he can save Nadeko if he wants to! Aaaand she's not very good at making friends, either.

[thundersealed]

He thinks he is a pretty cool onii-chan!! Not that he'd ever say so, of course, that would be improper.

Awesome! Socially incompetent positive acquaintances?

[constricted]

Sure! She would call him onii-chan if he manages to impress her somehow (which is pretty easy tbh...) but yes.

[miiracles]

If Ky's DOING ALL THE QUESTS... I think Rika would like in on his party. Because she doesn't want to do a lot of the work/getting her hands dirty much.

[thundersealed]

This sounds actually perfect because he'll want to do ALL THE QUESTS so other people don't have to haha!

[miiracles]

oh good. Rika will like him because he's useful. :D

[hercakeisalie]

Haruka has played some MMORPGs before! Which means she'll probably recognize him from his PSAs and just. try to annoy him somehow because that is how she rolls when it comes to super serious people ffff

And while not particularly religious, Kloe would identify herself with being Catholic as well. So yes, definitely jumping him with either of them in-game!!

[thundersealed]

Protip: trying to annoy him will probably be very, very successful

But yes sounds great!

[withheart]

I definitely want to say that Rinoa recognizes him from other MMOs. In fact, I'd almost say she's tried to preach at him in return about the power of second chances. She's stubborn, so I imagine it's a platform she'd probably stick to unwaveringly no matter how many times she's repeated it.

[thundersealed]

Haha adorable! They're just a never-ending echo chamber of stubbornness and preaching.

(no but you don't understand HE'S not able to change!!)

[withheart]

I've always thought she'd have a fun counter to Ky, but I've never gotten to play that dynamic out yet.

(But it can happen! She's seen it happen before! You have to give him a chance and maybe work with him a little bit!! Why are you giving up before you've even really tried??)

[anotherpath]

In Yuki's AU she spent a lot of time playing MMOs, so could she recognize him?

Also she plans on becoming a blacksmith and making weapons in order to help others and collect information, they could assist each other that way!

[thundersealed]

Sounds good to me! Information networks also sound like a lot of fun!
