May Event Information and Signups!

▼ If I walked in your shoes...
 
Hello and welcome players, both old and new, to the event planning for the memory exchange!

We hope that new players will be tantalized by the effects this event offers and give interesting insight into different characters.

▼ What is the Event About?
 
Basically, a memory exchange/swap event. However, this is Strings, so it's much more than that! There are consequences and side effects...

Starting the 15th of May, characters participating will get their Destiny Strings tangled together. At first it will be barely noticeable; just odd memories that as a player, you know your character didn't have, but your character will think is actually theirs. Their brains/cpus/etc will assimilate these new memories as their own. What this does for a character can depend immensely. A character who has always hated fish but gains a memory about loving sushi might go out to eat sushi that night and then go "Wow I really hate this! But I remember liking it a lot...". Characters who have the ability to view the Strings may start to notice that the Strings are intertwined, but it will take some time for that to be completely visible.

By the end, the characters will be in terrible pain, as their minds try to access these full memories, but with their brains realizing that these are not there after all; many of them no doubt painful and private for the other player. The Government will do their best to aid them during this time, and sort them in a level of the hospital and figure out what they can do to fix it.

Yet in the end, the solution will not be from the Government nor players, but the Strings themselves. With so much tension between both characters, the Strings will, like rubber-bands, snap back into place. This will cause a MASSIVE drain of energy, as it's not a physical snapping, but rather a soul snap and drain. Thus even characters who are strong physically and mentally will be in the hospital for a day or two, drained.

The memories of the others will slowly fade, like dreams...but there are some interesting side-effects to this...

▼ What do you need from players?
 
If you are interested in swapping and participating we will need from you the following:

▶ 7 "mundane" or semi-important memories your character has. This can be anything from "Went to a music concert with a friend and saw flowers for the first time," to "had ice-cream and fell in love with it." Anything, anytime in your character's life that they remember is fair game. These should be more like tiny little things, not memories that last a day. Just something that the other person can remember and think is their memory.

▶ 4 Traumatic or important memories your character has. These will be for the last four days of the event. These, usually, should be the most life-changing memories your character has had in their lives. For example, one of Eikichi's memories might be when they fought against Nyralthotep. These do not have to be 'bad' memories per-say these can be joyful memories too! But they are usually very private and not something characters would share willingly.

▶ As many routine traits and personality quirks that define them. These can be words they commonly say (Eikichi would be Babe, Hooooo!), things that they tend to do during the day (urge to put on visual-kei makeup and dye their hair, hates sushi, bad singing). This section is to give flavor to the exchange, as the other character starts using them too.

But here's the fun part...even after the event is over, you'll be allowed to keep some of these! It's a memory lingering effect, and not something your characters can completely control.

▶ Four skills the character has. Two should be mundane things (drawing, cooking, guitar, good with plants, etc), and two should be unique skills the character has (martial artist, boxer, lightsaber fighting, etc.)

When the event is over, players will be allowed to pick ONE Mundane and ONE unique skill from the list as muscle and lingering mind memory. Keep in mind that these skills would be more as side effects and no, your character would not suddenly be a jedi master.

An example is if someone listed martial artist as one of their two their unique skills, the other character, once the event is over, might suddenly stop an attack with a reflex block. A person who switched with a Jedi master would be able to hold a Lightsaber without cutting their arm off, but wouldn't be able do actual lightsaber dueling.

These may, however, cause the character to be much more interested in that skill and slowly work on them! Someone who ended up with cooking might start to peruse more complicated recipes. And what better than the person who you shared a few memories from...if they want to teach you.

▶ This will be asked near the end of the event, but everyone who does a memory swap will automatically gain a dual persona with that person. This is the major side effect from the exchange.

▼ Okay, I got all of that, what now?
 
Reply below either in either the preplaned exchanges (meaning you talked with someone and you already agreed you'd be exchanging with them) with your list of memories and who you are changing it with OR the roulette exchange, which will close on May 15th, 11L59pm and you will get randomly paired with someone else.

▼ Can I have a simple timeline of what's happening?
 
No problem!

▶ 15th of May, any character participating will have their String start to get tangled with someone else's. This will lead to memory bleeding, with their own brains trying to assimilate those memories as their own. No one thinks anything is wrong for now.
▶ Characters will start to act odder than normal, and adopt behavior and quirks from the other person.
▶ The last four days will end with very emotionally important memories from the other person, as they begin to suspect something is wrong. It will become much more painful.
▶ On the last day, the Government will try to round up everyone affected in the hospital in a hope to cure them.
▶ However the Strings themselves will snap back into place, causing a massive energy loss and soul draining, meaning anyone involved will be in the hospital for the next few days to regain their strength.
▶ The memories they experienced will linger like dreams; they may remember the more traumatic ones, but not fully and, as time goes on, will remember less and less.
▶ They will gain a dual persona with the other person
▶ They can also have lingering memories of a mundane and one unique skill the other character has. What they do with these is up to them; it might pique their curiosity about the subject or it might just end up being muscle reflexes later on.
▶ But who caused this and why? The Government have no leads, so some digging may be necessary...

Aoi Misato [OU] & Yuri Nakamura [OU]

[personal profile] eyewillprotect 2013-05-15 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
Your Nickname: Dani
Character's Name: Aoi Misato (Tokyo Majin Gakuen Kenpuchou: Tou)
Exchanging With: Yuri Nakamura

Normal Memories:
-Growing up in a really nice house.
-Practicing with a naginata.
-Seeing the antiques store owner's grandson whenever he dropped by with a delivery.
-Helping to care for a small dog a classmate in her middle school kept in secret under a bridge.
-Student council president duties in high school.
-Hanging out with her best friend Komaki after school.
-Fighting demons at night with healing/telepathic powers.

Traumatic/Important Memories:
-While quite young, she took the antiques guy's grandson Hisui Kisaragi to a hidden spot with a bunch of fireflies.
-In middle school, a fire broke out and she became trapped under burning debris. Her friend was trapped in a room with a fire and kept banging on the door nearby, screaming and pleading for Aoi to help until she eventually died.
-Went into a haunted building near her school along with Komaki to stop some dumb guys from fighting. Instead, they were attacked by a demon and all of them received powers to fend the creature off.
-Found out that the reason there are so many demons is because they were summoned specifically to awaken a power within her, the Bodhisattva's Eye, which can resurrect the dead. Also, the implication of many, many people dying of these demon attacks being all her fault as a result.

Character Quirks:
-Carries herself gracefully like a proper lady.
-Dirty/crude talk makes her uncomfortable.
-Often feels the need to protect or help the people around her.
-Does not approve of "bad" behavior (although she's more willing to let people off easy if it's someone close and it's something relatively harmless).

-Keeping notes and events meticulously organized.
-Making the cutest little bead bracelets for close friends ever.

Unique Skills:
-Naginata training.

Earl Ciel Phantomhive (Kuroshitsuji)

[personal profile] faustianphantom 2013-05-15 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
Your Nickname: Riddle
Character's Name: Earl Ciel Phantomhive (Kuroshitsuji)
Comfort Level: I'd say I have a pretty high comfort level, but I don't like too much gore.

Normal Memories:
1.) Spending time in his mansion.
2.) Interacting with the help (Sebastian included) (mostly on day to day matters). For example, they give Ciel his mail, bring him a snack, wake him in the morning, serve him tea etc. etc..
3.) Strolling around Victorian London.
4.) Business meetings (oh yes, so exciting). Not all of them can be like Damian's meeting, though that was such fun.
5.) Playing board games/other children based games that his company makes. Hey, you gotta test them out.
6.) Attending balls/social events (not dressed as a girl).
7.) Getting a headache from listening to idiots all day. These memories usually end in some delicious dessert (if Sebastian allows you to have one).

Traumatic/Important Memories:
1.) The original mansion burning down.
2.) The death of Vincent, Rachel and Sebastian (the dog) Phantomhive. (Vincent is Ciel's father, Rachel is Ciel's mother and Sebastian was Ciel's favorite pet wolfhound.)
3.) Being tortured for months and put in a cage. (Possible triggers with this one. He did see other children killed.)
4.) Making a contract with Sebastian.

Character Quirks: Ciel speaks properly, doesn't usually show much emotion unless he is riled about something and he tends to be callous (even when he actually cares about someone). It takes a desperate situation to peel back his mask and show his true self. But he does care. About some people. Like Elizabeth.

He is also an excellent strategist and he definitely doesn't let his size or his physical weakness stop him from accomplishing extraordinary goals.

Mundane Skills:
1.) He can read and write.
2.) He can dance (thanks to Sebastian).
3.) He can dress himself etc. etc. (no, he isn't totally dependent on his butler).
4.) Oh and he can ride a horse and hunt. But I'm not sure where that would come up.

Unique Skills:
1.) He can play violin and read music.
2.) He can run a business successfully.
3.) There hasn't been a game invented that he can't beat.
4.) He can fence.

shibuyasmusic: (sparkle~)

Joshua Kiryu [AU] & Shiki Misaki [AU]

[personal profile] shibuyasmusic 2013-05-15 08:32 am (UTC)(link)
Your Nickname: Kat
Character's Name: Joshua Kiryu [AU1] (The World Ends With You)
Exchanging With: Shiki Misaki [AU1] (The World Ends With You)

Normal Memories:
-Conversation with Megumi Kitaniji about wanting to destroy Shibuya
-His mundane, completely distached and mostly lonely life as Composer of Shibuya
-Friendship with Hanekoma (and knowledge of his Angel status)
-More in-depth knowledge of the innerworkings of the Reapers' Game (how Reapers work, reasons behind the Game's mechanics, and basic knowledge of the Reaper hierarchy)
-His time spent in Another Day's universe, hanging out with Pink!Joshua and learning to appreciate Shibuya
-Friendship/siblingship with Suki (he considered her to be a younger sister)
-Getting attacked by Reavers while gold-collared and twisting his ankle in the process, and having to hide in a convenience store. It sucked.


Traumatic/Important Memories:

-Trigger warning: detailed suicide via severe drug overdose!
The night he committed suicide. He locked himself in the bathroom while his mother was still at work, and decided to swallow an entire bottle of perphenazine, the drug he'd been prescribed as a schizophrenia patient, in order to spite her (since he was not actually schizophrenic, of course.) The dose was over 450 mg. Unfortunately, the overdose wasn't a quick death, and Joshua spent what felt like an eternity on the bathroom floor with stiff and spasming muscles, delirium, vomiting, and extreme hot flashes. In the end, while he didn't regret taking his life, he severely regretted the method.

-The original Neku's termination, and Joshua reflecting on it with Suki in the church in Haven while in Composer form. He not only becomes good friends with her at this time, but he also learns about his status as a clone (unconfirmed at the time, to be confirmed later down the line) and attempts to (and kind of fails to) change his attitude towards other people.

-His huge episode he has over the network when the second Neku goes comatose for the first time. He sits in a chair by Neku's pod wearing his headphones, and in his post he manages to push away all of his friends and even piss off a few other people on the station. All thanks to his paranoia that losing his friends will hurt too badly, so why have friends at all? Suki kicks him out of the apartment, Repliku punches him in the face, and Neku, upon waking up, kicks his chair out from under him then storms off in anger.

-Rushing through Facility 1 trying to find Shiki only to find her decapitated, and absolutely no trace of her soul around. Neku dies shortly after and Joshua ends up severely blaming himself for both of their deaths, getting probably more publicly emotional than he's ever gotten before, especially when Sora begs him to bring Neku back to life, even offering up not just his soul, but the other souls he carries in his heart as well. He tries to convince Sora to take Neku to the med bay while he retrieves Shiki's body, but Sora ends up tasking him with Neku. Joshua cries during this time, though it's only a few tears and he doesn't have any sobbing to accompany it, just a lot of shame for being unable to control his emotions.

Character Quirks:
A cynical bastard who tends to see the bad in life before the good, he's also incredibly skeptical of other people and of his own surroundings, and generally not very friendly. He'll use a lot of mean-spirited sarcasm, and smiles that almost look bitter, all thanks to facility hardening his already sarcastic personality even further. He doesn't really enjoy talking to people and has the unfortunate problem of pushing people away if they seem to be getting too close to him, though he often regrets this behavior immediately afterwards. Joshua is extremely bitter about being a clone and extraordinarily jealous of the original Joshua, as well as outright ashamed of what he is (a stolen copy.) He often laments the fact that he was never Shibuya's ruler and that he's never actually seen Shibuya for himself. He really loves his cat, whom he named Shibuya, and he doesn't regret the cheesy name whatsoever.
Mundane Skills:
-Ability to play a few classical piano pieces (Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven and Minute Waltz by Chopin)
-Ability to list off random trivia facts about Shibuya on the spot
Unique Skills:
-Minor levitation/telekinetic abilities
-Soul-sensing ability

Thousands of voices - voices she knew and people she cared about, along with the curses of her enemies - cramming into her head all at once, as if they were standing right there with the sound and terror overwhelming any sense of sanity and then suddenly nothing.

Mikale Godono | Original Character

[personal profile] shadowsher 2013-05-15 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Your Nickname: Berri
Character's Name: Mikale Godono ( OC )
Comfort Level: I will be tough! Anything is fine!

Normal Memories:
→ 7 years old, going out to a fancy restaurant with his parents to celebrate his mother's promotion.
→ 8 years old, waiting in a clinic to have his broken arm checked up on.
→ 9 years old, buying his bff Samantha a stuffed animal for Christmas. He settles on a sheep with a pink ribbon around its neck.
→ 15 years old, revisiting his hometown and showing Satou around. They visit the same store from the previous memory and he buys her a similar sheep.
→ 11 years old, helping the Godono family (Franziska, Richard, Renae, Vinita, and himself) cook for Thanksgiving dinner. His task is figuring out how to cook a turkey with Franziska.
→ 16 years old, getting lost in Japan because he can't moonspeak.
→ 16 years old, taking an English literature test and having no idea what his opinion on a book should be.

Traumatic/Important Memories:
→ # TRIGGER FOR ABUSE # 10 year old Mikale hiding in the cupboard while his father and mother fight violently. Becoming increasingly scared when his father begins calling for him.
→ # TRIGGER FOR MURDER # Completing his first hitman job at age 12, killing a man because Vinita told him "it was for the best." Mikale feels sick and scared even after finishing the job. His weapon of choice was a gun, which he chose to use rather than his magic.
→ 8 years old, making a promise with his best friend Samantha to "be together forever." It's Christmas and they were at a Christmas party with their parents.
→ 16 years old, moving in with the Yumeno-Tamura family. He was expecting the move to go poorly, but both women greet him with excitement. He's surprised and happy, and looking forward to this new chapter in his life.

Character Quirks:
→ Mikale feels compelled to clean any mess he makes or sees, no matter how big or small. "Leave it better than it was when you arrived." It makes him happy to see things cleaned.
→ He has a good eye for measurements, especially when it comes to cooking. "Guess the weight" or "Guess the age" games are something he's really good at.
→ Self-doubt. Always second and third guessing himself.

Mundane Skills:
→ Cooking; Mikale is good at not just following recipes, but improving them or improvising to recreate something he's eaten before.
→ Cleaning/Decorating; He is not only very good at cleaning things, but good at room decorating to make messy rooms look neater and more professional.

Unique Skills:
→ Trained with guns; He has been training to use a gun for a long time, so he has a good hand for it and good aim. Mikale knows how to take apart and clean his weapons as well.
→ Empathy; Mikale's empathy allows him to sense the emotions of others. His brand of empathy is connected to how sympathetic a person's personality is, making it weaker if you're insensitive. Mikale personally doesn't have very strong empathy because he's dense.
→ Magic; Requires his empathy to be of any use. Mikale's magic allows him to instantly make anything happen, provided that he knows/thinks he knows how to do it. For example, instantly creating a meal he knows how to cook is possible. Instantly creating an atomic bomb, when he doesn't understand its unique properties, is not.

4. Hacking military computers (ultimately destroying billions in digital assets) with the help of Akito to keep them from lobotomizing Omoikane.
5. Watching 3 girls fight over the same guy with food "cooked with love" (mystery food X) and deciding the world of adults is confusing and stupid.
6. Being uncovered as the first daughter of the King of Peaceland and offered the chance to become a real princess, which she declined due to the lack of all her privacy. She did however offer to continue her work AS the princess to bring prestige to Peaceland and wrote letters to her biological mother and father when she could.

3. Her best friend's brother being shot in the back by HIS best friend because to adults power is more important than friendship, and it was a good way for the Jovians to take the Mars dig site.
4. The wedding of her 2 closest friends Akito and Yurika (who was also her adopted mother), catching the bouquet at the wedding, having a piece of Gekiganger III themed cake, then watching both Akito and Yurika die as their shuttle exploded on take off. Also the feeling of blaming herself because everyone told her to enjoy the wedding instead of check the ship.

Character Quirks: While not emotionless, because she doesn't know how to deal with her emotions well she keeps them under control by coming off as deadpan and emotionless. The tendency of explaining things like one would explain them to a child. Finding lies to be the most abhorrent thing a person can tell.
Mundane Skills: Singing and Nuclear Physics
Unique Skills: Intuitive understanding of how computers are coded and AI's think, Boson Physics (Calculating time travel/warp space Note: Does not have the actual equipment to do this)

Atsuro Kihara [OU] & Minako Arisato [OU]

[personal profile] otakuro 2013-05-16 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
Your Nickname: Wighty
Character's Name: Atsuro Kihara (Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor)
Exchanging With: Minako Arisato (Persona 3 Portable)

Normal Memories:
1) It is 4:00 in the morning and 14-year-old Atsuro is furiously typing away at his computer with bleary eyes but someone is WRONG on the INTERNET everyone knows that the most efficient programming language is Python even if it sacrifices precision for simplicity. Someone with the screen-name of 10BIT has just sent him a private message.
2) Atsuro is 16 and early in his second year of high school. Hanging out with Yuzu and Kazuya at the mall (his world's version of Kazuya), he isn't terribly interested in the shopping going on until they happen to wander by the arcade. Yuzu forcibly drags him back towards some store with the generic name of Shinjuku Stylez or something he doesn't even know.
3) It is the end of November and it is time to start studying for the second term of finals. Atsuro is early in his second year of middle school and has just spent the last three hours patiently receiving private tuoring from a young woman with kind eyes; to his dismay, he leaves her home and has a sudden wrenching feeling that he doesn't remember anything he just learned.
4) "Tadaima!" Atsuro is 12. He announces this phrase to himself as he steps inside his house; with obvious glee on his face, he doesn't wait for an answer as he rushes up to his room. Once there, he unpacks his backpack and triumphantly pulls out a new game which he immediately loads into his game system. The TV blares for the next six hours. Strangely, this binge goes uninterrupted.
5) It is the second week of the first year of middle school. A boy with brown hair and glasses sits chattering with Atsuro happily during lunch; Keisuke abruptly stops talking when he spots something in the corner. He excuses himself and heads over to the scene, where three boys have surrounded two younger ones. Atsuro, after a few moments, trails behind at a distance.
6) At the age of 8, the young Atsuro heads home from school and opens his door to be greeted by a friendly face, a woman whose name is something like Asuka or Ayaka. This is one in a long line of babysitters; his parents have told him that in a few years, they will expect him to be able to come home and care for himself when they are out of the country. He is OK with that.
7) Atsuro is 17, and it is exactly one week before the lockdown. He is outdoors on a park bench with his laptop. He receives an email alert from someone named Naoya, opens it, and eagerly reads through the brief message. He downloads the attached document; it is a jumble of nearly incomprehensible symbols and letters. No problem, he thinks. This is simple.

Traumatic/Important Memories:
1) Atsuro is holding on to a COMP, a Communication Player. It looks like a Nintendo DS. It's connected to his laptop and two other COMPs are sitting nearby; beside him stand Yuzu and Kazuya, neither of whom look very impressed. "Okay, done! I'm restarting the COMPs!" There is a few moments of silence as the systems boot back up... Decryption confirmed. Booting program.

There follows a lone scrolling line of incomprehensible code until... DEMON SUMMONING PROGRAM ready to boot. A horrific noise.
Peaceful days are over.
Let's survive.


And then all hell breaks loose as the COMPs flare to life with a bright glow and spit out what are unmistakably demons.

2) The first appearance of Beldr. Things progressively grow worse as the party realizes that the demon is invincible, and that something called the Laplace Mail had informed them they would be dying by his hands today alongside another 300 people...

3) The preparations for the final battle as the party prepares to fight the server and the source of the demons, Babel. Atsuro and the others watch nervously as Kazuya begins to summon Babel. "Hehe... I know this might seem long overdue... But I'm really glad we're friends! It's been a pretty tough week, but it's almost over. I'll always be your friend, and Naoya's best student! Let's go, Kazuya!"

And then something massive falls from the sky.

4) In a different vein from the others, this memory is merely one of Atsuro lying on his bed, speaking on the phone. It is obviously pre-demon invasion. "Uh-huh. Yeah. ...I understand. ...Sure. ...It's no problem, Mom. I'll see you guys next month. ................Oh. Well. March, then. Yeah? Great. Good luck with your work, Mom. Tell Dad I said hi." He hangs up the phone and stares at the ceiling for a moment or two before rolling over and heading downstairs. There are some meager Christmas decorations hanging here and there; a calendar marks it January 5th. January 15th is marked 'My Birthday!' and January 10th is marked 'Mom and Dad Flight Home'.

Character Quirks: Laughing when he's nervous, telling jokes when he's upset, eyes become starry when he's impressed with something... Otherwise, not much. His speech style is pretty normal, and he uses a moderate amount of slang.
Mundane Skills: Atsuro is relatively good at cooking and also cleaning (when he wants to). Surprisingly domestic.
Unique Skills: Programming/Hacking! Minako should begin to understand the basic foundations behind most programming languages. She might know how to crack into computer networks and systems and tinker around with it. Perhaps she'll have the urge to take her COMP apart and see how it works. Demon skills! Absent her Persona, Minako may have the muscle memory urges to perform skills like Deathbound and Fire Dance.
