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.
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...
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.
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.
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...
Copy this and post it below in the proper section (either planned or roulette):
Your Nickname:
Character's Name: Name (Series)

Comfort Level: (ROULETTE PEOPLE ONLY. Reply here with either yes or no if you are comfortable getting someone whose memories may be triggery, or list your triggers.)
Normal Memories: (List 7. You can be as detailed as you want, remember this is for the other player!)
Traumatic/Important Memories: (List 4. Same as above, but these should be more detailed as these will be the ones the other character will remember the most. IF THE EVENT IS TRIGGERY, PLEASE CLEARLY MARK THIS BEFORE THE EVENT DESCRIPTION.)

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

Mundane Skills: Cooking and cleaning.

Mundane Skills: Drawing, singing
Unique Skills: Precision and accuracy with projectile weapons/items (Lucy's vectors can throw with great accuracy, but determining where to throw and how hard is a mental effort, so I feel it is something she can do with her own hands as well; her personal training in the Facility has helped this somewhat too), standard hand-to-hand combat skills.

Character Quirks: Speaks in short sentences when busy or annoyed, but very verbose and with unnecessarily complicated large words when explaining something or talking about science. Has only three terribly dominant facial expressions: neutral lineface, troll!smile, and irritation. Very curious and scientific mind, with a desire to learn as much as she can about the world around her.

Unique Skills: Two healing spells (equivalent of Media and Recarm for purposes of this event).

- Riku beating her down an calling her keyblade a fake at Beast's Castle.

Unique Skills: Basic magic. (Fire/Blizzard/Thunder/Cure). Keyblade summoning.
Aqua [AU1] and Garviel Loken [OU]

4. World Order, not speaking of other worlds to residents of the worlds visited.
5. Practicing with wooden swords with her boys.
6. Teasing her friends on the mountain summit.
7. Stargazing with her friends/brothers on the summer days...
Traumatic/Important Memories:
1. Keyblade Graveyard (TW: Suicide, war, loss): Having heard news of their Master/father's death, Aqua travels alone to the Keyblade Graveyard in search of her friends. Promising that their hearts would always be one as she arrives to the world where the ancient battle that was only talked of in whisper was fought, she soon finds Terra standing alone. She confronts him about their Master's death, to which he admits to being used by Master Xehanort to weaken him to the point where a final deathblow would be easy, also saying that he was tryingto protect Ven. Warning him against fighting out of anger and vengence - of how it would not honor Master Eraqus' memory - Ven arrives, explaining that Xehanort intends to make the x-blade using him. Ven then asks his two best friends to "put an end" to him.
Yet they are unable to in time, as Xehanort arrives to initiate the Keyblade War...
(Here, have the cutscenes and heart pains.)
2. A Fight Among "Friends" (TW: Possession, loss, self-sacrifice): Having left Ven's comatose body in a secret chamber within the newly transformed Kingdom Hearts, Aqua heard the voice of her only remaining family member inside her Heart, asking her to eliminate himself as well. She follows the voice to Radiant Garden, where she finds him...
3. Friendly Reminder (TW: Death): A child NPC grew annoyed with how the populace "didn't understand" what all the puppethead King and Queen of the dream city did for them and "put them to sleep" for a week, causing an eternal night and endless nightmares. Many died and destruction was rampant. The most triggering of these were her friends and students, of whom she watched, unable to save them. Names of those who she watched helplessly as they died are Ventus, Roxas, and Sora. The other she felt die due to having been using their Dimension Link at the time was Charles Xavier.
Yet with all this pain and sorrow, light began to grow in strengthened bonds between the souls that braved the long night... those that come after them.
4. A Fond Memory... (this predates the others): After a long day of training and study, the three friends sat together as they relaxed. Ven sat there, his beat-up wooden practice sword in his lap. Noticing this and how down Ven seemed in his zombie-like state, Terra pulled out his latest creation-a wooden Keyblade. Pretending that it was a real one, he teased Ven with a play-Rite of Succession. When Aqua called him on it in a teasing manner, he retorts that they all share the same dream: to become Keyblade Masters.
This made Ven smile as Terra gave him the wooden Keyblade--his best work--from the heart.

- Watching his/her uncle shield him from the blast of the atom bomb.
- Fighting Kazuya.
- Rotting away in a late-medieval era prison as a child.
Character Quirks: Mixes formal and informal speech, says 'heh' often, is rather removed from people emotionally, doesn't lie (just doesn't tell all of the truth), loves sweet foods, is a bit of a ninja. Also has severe migraines.
Mundane Skills: Computer coding, being multilingual.
Unique Skills: Encyclopedic knowledge of demons native to his world, demon summoning.
Plantbane the idk-how-many and Plantbane the First
Character's Name: Agatha Sheridan (OC)
Exchanging With: Naoya, because Kajimatt and I are the last people who should be allowed to decide who to memory swap with. Expect freakouts from both parties once this is over.
Normal Memories:
1) A tired-looking albino woman with a bandage over one eye and gloves on her hands. Her visible eye is a pale gray. She is resting on a hospital cot, wearing a hospital gown, and the room is darkened; despite this, she looks dignified and strong. Agatha addresses her as "Mother."
2) A man in loose-fitting clothing, gloves on his hands. He pats Agatha on the head and smiles gently. He's as tan as she is, with matted brown hair and dark eyes behind thick glasses. Agatha addresses him as "Uncle Jack."
3) Receiving an email stating that she's been banned from a religious forum for "inflammatory and inciting language".
4) Agatha's mother setting up a pot full of paper flowers in fake dirt.
5) Going to class.
6) Typing up a post on a computer - one can presume it's the one that got her banned in Normal Memory 3.
7) Removing her gloves to touch an injured hunter and take on their injuries.
Traumatic/Important Memories:
1) In this memory, Agatha can't be older than three or four. She is wandering around in the back yard, and touches a flower because it's pretty. --- The flower wilts and dies the moment she touches it, and she runs screaming to her mother. As of this memory, her mother still has both eyes, and just gives her a look of cool sorrow. "I'm so sorry, Agatha. I'd hoped to spare you this for a few more years."
2) Agatha's mother explains to her the truth of their family. Uncle Jack is nearby, holding Agatha's hand through the explanation. When it's over, he gives her her gloves.
3) Training with the Injury Transfer skill. It hurts a lot, and near the beginning Agatha is nearly always in tears. She starts to toughen up after a while.
4) Idly scribbling in a journal. After a few minutes of this, she writes out the sentence: "Either we cling to a path in life, or we fall into despair from the weight on our shoulders." She thinks about it for a minute, then nods, circling the sentence.
Character Quirks: Shifts between talking formally and talking casually, kind of like she can't decide on how to address others. Doesn't talk much either. Actually very bitter and emotional, but keeps it down 24/7 due to family history of emotions being bad mmkay. Never complains about any of the things, including the injuries she came to Hinoto-Ri with.
Mundane Skills:
1) Cooking - When she's not sleeping off the injuries, Agatha's actually a decent cook. Not very experimental, but the rest of the household doesn't complain when she's on cooking duty. (Then again they don't complain about things period.)
2) Pain Threshold - Agatha's got a high tolerance for pain. Not to the point of "feel no pain at all", but to the point that the injury transfer doesn't make her cry.
Unique Skills:
1) Earth Bane - Absolutely cannot touch plants or else they will die.
2) Injury Transfer - Absolutely can hold another person's hand and take their injuries unto self. Entirely possible to die from overuse, though. Don't overdo it.
Judas Iscariot [OU] & Tohru Adachi [AU}
Character's Name: Judas Iscariot (Saint Young Men)
Exchanging With: Tohru Adachi (Persona 4)
Normal Memories: When he learned how to play video games and turned out to be pretty good. Listening to Jesus preach. When he moved into a Japanese apartment with Peter and Andrew. First tasting fast food. Commenting on Jesus's blog about J-dramas. Meeting Buddha. And fainting from hunger.
Traumatic/Important Memories: 1. Judas is being handed a bag of coins. He opens them to count - thirty silver ones. He nods, and takes the bag. (i.e. you betrayed Jesus you jerk)
2. SUICIDE TRIGGER: Judas hung himself in an open field, no further description needed moving on.
3. Hell. Hell is basically feeling the utmost pain and torment in every layer of your soul, and knowing with complete certainty that you deserved it. Forever and ever there's no escape-
4. -except at one point it stops, and a guy who looks kind of like a hooker with bat wings marches up to you. "Indulgences," he says. "Kid, you're getting out."
Character Quirks: Judas apologizes. A lot. And blames himself a lot. And is really passive aggressive. And forgets to eat.
Mundane Skills: Money handling and video/computer games.
Unique Skills: Judas can recite the Old Testament and Jesus's preaching pretty much offhand, and isn't a bad preacher himself. He never uses these skills for obvious reasons, but ahaha... have fun, Adachi...
King DeDeDe [AU1] & Samus Aran [OU]
Character's Name: King DeDeDe (There Will Be Brawl)
Exchanging With: Samus Aran (Metroid)
Normal Memories: 1) Peacefully ruling as King of Dream Land, 2) Being abandoned by Meta Knight as Dream Land crumbled around him, 3) Chasing Kirby to the Mushroom Kingdom, 4) Opening his nightclub, 5) Rigging a boxing match, 6) Negotiating territory with Samus Aran, a freelance prostitute, 7) Calling a meeting with Police Chief Link (he was killed before it happened)
Traumatic/Important Memories: SEVERAL OF THESE ARE GOING TO BE TRIGGERY FOR HORRIBLE SCENES OF VIOLENCE AND GORE. Watching the Coral Cannibal devour and murder the citizens of Dream Land, bitterness and anger at the Mario Brothers for capturing Kirby before he could kill Kirby himself, the conversation he had with Luigi just before his death, and being murdered by blunt force trauma to the back of the head followed by having his body violently turned inside out by unseen psychic assassins.
Character Quirks: Speaks in a very colloquial tone with a slight southern drawl, pacifism by way of hardline negotiation in place of violence, intimidating but lazy posture.
Mundane Skills: Business management, underworld politics.
Unique Skills: Immense strength, hammer-based fighting style.
Garviel Loken and Aqua
Your Nickname:Bill
Character's Name: Garviel Loken (HOrus Heresy)

4) Garviel talking to a poet Ignace Karkasy, asking him to promise to always tell the truth about what he saw of the Imperium of Man.

6) Garviel's quiet talk with Horus about the nature of the Warp and Daemons, and what he saw in the Whisperheads.
7) Garviel defeating Lucius in the sparring cages by punching the best swordsman in all of the Space Marine legions in the nose during a sword duel.

HIs first brush with the warp. 2) Horus' comatose body being brought into the Serpent Lodge, and Garviel's brothers Aximand and Abaddon barring him from entering it and saving him from the strange priests of Davin.

Traumatic/Important Memories:
- His father was Nikola Tesla, the man created him and treated him with respect. He learned that science should be advanced for the betterment of humanity. Technology can make life better for people and it should be focused on protecting and preserving life. Of course, that might mean doing some dangerous things to advance knowledge. Nikola died in a mysterious explosion, attributed to an experiment gone wrong. Robo was off fighting Nazi's during that time.
- He once trained under a masked vigilante/hero called Jack Tarrot. He also had a sort of puppy crush/romantic relationship with his daughter. He learned the art of Zen shooting from Jack. He also learned Tesla used to fight the bad guys in his youth.

Edison came back as a ghost closer to modern day. Robo still can't figure out how Edison's ghost could exist.
- Robo once was sent to a dimension full of vampires. Basically people that drink blood and are stronger than normal thanks to a virus. It mostly involved them drooling on him. He went back again to rescue people who went there and found Jenkins, a man who would work for Robo from that day forward and be a great asset. Jenkins is a capable soldier and employee who is ready for any situation. Robo does not presume he could take Jenkins in a fight. (And makes jokes like "Jenkins doesn't sleep, he holds back.", and "We're not trapped in this building with them, they're trapped in here with Jenkins.", and also: "What if they capture Jenkins?"

Hitoshura "Shura" [AU1] & Yukiko Amagi [OU]
Character's Name: Hitoshura (Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne)
Exchanging With: Yukiko Amagi
Normal Memories:
NOTE: In all human memories, Shura is being called "Hisao-chan" or "Kiku" by others.
1. Dressed in her kindergarten uniform, playing with a big ball and a boy with short hair named Isamu Nitta.
2. In her first year of school, comparing hair length with a girl named Chiaki Tachibana after school and fighting with her over it.

7. Having tea with the Collector Manikin and Futomimi in Asakusa during the New phase of Kagutsuchi in Collector's newly opened shop. The space is cluttered with human objects from floor to ceiling, leaving only a small free space on the counter, where they all put their tea cups.
Traumatic/Important Memories:
CONTENT WARNING: End of the world, mass murder.
1. Being on the hospital roof when the world ended. Watching Tokyo fold in on itself at the horizon while lightning destroyed most of the city and an ominous ball of light grew in the middle of the spherical world. Shura remembers the deafening claps of thunder, the earth shaking under her feet, the smell of ozone like during a storm, the blinding light sucking her soul up.
2. Becoming a demon. As she lay half-unconscious after the light told her she had not even the smallest hint of Reason in her heart, she saw a blond child with an old nanny. She thought they were a dying hallucination at first, but then the nanny knelt over her to hold her head still while the child let a white worm-like creature fall into her mouth. After that, Shura only remembers the nanny saying "This will make you a demon", red tinting her vision and pain, unimaginable pain flaring in every square inch of her body. She never would have thought a human could survive that much pain. When she next work up, she was in the hospital morgue.
3. Meeting Pixie. She was half-naked, disorientated, cold and on the verge of panic when she first met that Pixie. Even if the Pixie said she looked weak and scrawny, she accepted to help Shura. Shura thought to herself that maybe, maybe she wouldn't have to go through this hell alone.
4. The Manikins genocide. This is Shura's strongest memory. She arrived in a death silent Asakusa after what must have been the longest Amala Network ride in history. There were absolutely no Manikins around, only hostile angels. She fought her way down to Mifunashiro, where she found the thick, heavy door to the Manikins' holy birthland bent and twisted on the floor. It was there that she saw the first dead Manikins. The smell of death and blood, close to human blood, was permeating everything, the screams of the dying resonating in the beautiful, serene but cold open shaft that made up most of Mifunashiro. On her way down, countless deaths, and countless angels harassing her, trying to kill her, hunting down the survivors to finish them off. When she finally reached the bottom, she found a mirror that teleported her to the holy of holy, the cave where the Manikins emerged from the black clay of the river banks. The sacred ropes were of no help against Chiaki as she crushed the skulls of "mud dolls" with her freakish, twisted arm and turned to Futomimi. Despite Shura's best efforts to murder the three Seaphs Chiaki had summoned as soon as possible, she still did not manage to save Futomimi, who died fighting Chiaki. Further soiling the pure clay of the river, Chiaki summoned her god there with the magatsuhi stored in the holy place, then left, having massacred the weakest, most peaceful race of the Vortex World to prove her supposed strength.
Character Quirks:
- Short fuse. Shura gets angry rather quickly and tends to swear when she is, using mostly "shit" and "fuck". Refuses to swear by God.
- Racist against angels and the judeo-christian God.
- Loves running and trains regularly, morning and evening, to keep in shape.
- Calls people by their first name, without honorifics.
- Knows friendly demons (Pixie, Hua Po, Jack Frost, Pyro Jack, Kodama, Sudama) and chats with them as one would with friends.
Mundane Skills:
1. Running mid and long distance.
2. Throwing a good punch.
Unique Skills:
1. Speaking with demons. Shura knows demon languages, at least the main ones, and can carry a conversation with most races of demons. She's also skilled at convincing them to fight at her side or give her presents.
2. Demon summoning without the use of instruments. Since she can convince demons to join her ranks, she can summon them to do her bidding. She uses this mostly for battle, but it could be used in mundane situations.
ADDITIONAL MEMORY
Samus Aran [OU] and King DeDeDe [AU1]
Character's Name: Samus Aran (Metroid)
Exchanging With: King DeDeDe (There Will Be Brawl)
Normal Memories:
-Old Bird, her father, and spending time training with him
-Her home on Zebes, and the whole layout of the planet
-Her brief time with the Federation Police doing missions and often acting rebellious during reconnaissance missions
-Showing off her skills while being considered for recruitment in a special division of the Federation's military
-Adam Malkovich as her old commanding officer
-Lots and lots of alone time while patroling in space in her ship
-Appreciation for the beautiful Chozo architecture of both Tallon IV and Skytown, Elysia
Traumatic/Important Memories:
-The raid on her home planet, K-2L, by space pirates and the death her mother by the hands of Ridley, and both the trauma and sheer anger over being the only survivor of the attack
-The moment she decides to leave the Federation: one of her comrades in her squad gets left behind on an enemy ship set to self-destruct. Samus insists that they go back and retrieve him, but her CO refuses to risk a suicide mission, and orders her to stay behind. Samus disobeys orders and retrieves her comrade on her own, saving his life with barely enough time to spare, and ushering the both of them onto her own ship (as their squad had already left both of them behind). While deeming her CO's choice perhaps correct, the restrictive nature of the military and the fact that she can get the impossible done on her own gives her cause to leave and do freelance work.
-Each encounter facing and killing Ridley in vengeance (Metroid, Metroid Prime 1, and Metroid Prime 3), noticing that each time he comes back he keeps getting stronger and just won't stay dead
-Her fight with Rundas, who had gone completely mad and wild, practically turned into a wild animal from the Phazon corrupting his mind, and her fight with Ghor, who was noticeably in a less advanced stage of Phazon corruption, though completely insane nonetheless. Also the fact that she'd been forced to kill both of them, with no way of saving their lives.
Character Quirks: Generally Samus tries to put on a tough, lone wolf kind of act, and is much more blunt and even technical with her speech. She tends to use military jargon in conversation, such as 'affirmative' or 'negative' instead of yes or no. She also has a strange hobby of logging away information about interesting things and people around her.
Mundane Skills:
-Knowing the Galactic Federation's salute
-Knowing a few basic phrases in the Chozo language (like hi, bye, thank you)
Unique Skills:
-Ability to fly her ship
-Some acrobatic abilities

▶ Revealing herself to the DeSu cast on 6th Day
▶ Sparring with Yamato (and winning)
▶ Being told she will be Yamato’s backup in case he died or otherwise incapacitated. Due to this, her existence will be a secret to everyone but certain people.
▶ Fighting demons.
Traumatic/Important Memories:

▶ The rare moment when Alcor spent some time alone with her instead of Yamato. May include headpatting, hand holding and being shy but eager. (Shy, nervousness, eagerness, happiness)
▶ Fighting by Yamato’s side in the open against Hibiki and company as their last attempt to win for meritocracy (AO’s route boss fight). (Focused, anger, annoyanced, determination, strong desire to win, desperation)
▶ Watching Yamato's death (AO's route) and feeling the sudden “emptiness” due to twin (and essentially other half of her soul) dying, as if something got cut from her. (Tiredness from battle, confusion, shock, numbness) [WARNING: Death]

▶ Lack of empathy (how to people)
▶ Curious and/or baffled by most mundane, normal people things

- ditching work at Junes
- bumming food off of Dojima
- going out drinking with Dojima
- helping Nanako with her homework
- the countless nights he's spent watching tv while eating cup ramen
- the nagging he received from that one old lady who used him as a replacement for her son
Traumatic/Important Memories:
- When he convinces Yu to burn the only bit of solid evidence they have that could convict Adachi as the killer. (Without any sort of context and even on tape, all this really appears to be is Adachi testing Yu. In Adachi's head, it's pretty odd that Yu would visit him in general, and Adachi never flat out says he did anything. At best, he seems like he's only pretending. You know, like a good cop gathering more information.) What Judas will probably get out of this is a sick amusement whenever he sees a member of the IT or if he bumps into Sooj.
- Not the details of why he was transferred, but how much it affected his life in general, right down to affecting his diet and his demeanor around everyone.
- Adachi's childhood and how much his parents forced upon him when it comes to school. He had very demanding parents, went to a very demanding school, and didn't have much time to himself. Nightmares about faceless overbearing parents?
- How bad Adachi's luck has been when it comes to relationships with women. Not his misogyny, just his bad luck. Although, he might become a bit tongue-tied around them?
Character Quirks:
- feeling no remorse for his actions
- not caring at all for the people around him
- how impulsive he can be
- thriving off entertainment and will prolong even the worst things to keep it going
Mundane Skills:
- living off the worst diet ever
- how good he is at slacking off at work
Unique Skills:
- Being a pretty good shot
- his vast knowledge on guns in general.
Miki Sanada [AU1] & Miyako Hotsuin [OC]

2) SEES Gun Usage (tm)

5) Training with her weapon (a Manriki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kusari-fundo)
6) Spending a day on the roof of the SEES building, meditating and relaxing.
7) Goofing around with SEES, (Junpei, Miki, Aigis, Minami, Yukari, Mitsuru). It's mostly a girl thing.
Traumatic/Important Memories:
> Shinjiro dying during the shootout. (SHOOTING, DEATH)
(Since this is an AU, Miyako would remember seeing Shinjiro in a pool of his own blood, with what appears to be Ken running away with Minato, the Strega leader, and the rage thinking that he was the one responsible, and pain at her brother's death.
> Facing Nyx
(In a combined effort from both Strega and SEES working together, they face off against Nyx, much like the game. Only this time, Minato (leading Strega) and Minami (Leading SEES) are working together. Much like the game, Minami is about to sacrafice herself, but Minato takes her place.
> The death of Akihiko
(This is a childhood memory. There is incredibly pain as Miki hides under a bed, the building around her burning. Suddenly the door bursts open and Akihiko as a young child steps in, grabs her and drags her outside. Miki's back gets cooked by the fire, but she holds her breath. After her brother drags her outside, he dies from oxygen deprivation.)
> Meeting Minami and SEES v2
(This is when Minami moves into the SEES dorm for the first time and Miki sees her. She has a feeling that they'll be good friends and likes her already (if she has potential or not). This is more of a warm friendship memory, but it's very powerful, as she considers Minami her BFF.
Character Quirks:
> Collected, calm but with a mischvious streak
> Doesn't really trust high-up figures, especially older ones (due to what happened with SEES)
> Urge to collect Phoenix Ranger R figurines (but hide the evidence)
> Persona usage using the Evoker (could point to head then realize Evoker is not in hand since she doesn't have one)
> Martial Arts Fighting
> Urge to eat only vegetables and chicken.
> Very impatient if shes' trying to teach someone else how to cook
> Call other people by nicknames (Shinjiro is Jiji)
> Brotherly bond with Shinjiro (even if he's grumpy)
> Speaking patterns; she has used a lot of Shinji'isms in her life, so she will Tch, and use figures of speech Shinjiro would use when she's angry (Get lost, Whatever, Son of a bitch, Let's kick some ass, etc.)
> You can also see her battle quotes right here: http://helenchanted.dreamwidth.org/1019.html (After her Persona)
Mundane Skills:
> Cooking (Vegeterian)

1. False memory: Attending her mother's funeral on her home planet Deralia
2. The couple of months of accelerated Jedi training on Dantooine
3. Being offered membership to the Genoharadan, a secret group of assassins and bounty hunters
4; Messing with Carth (pick a convo, there's plenty)
5. Talking to Jolee Bindo about oooh destiny oooooh, leading to a rambly old-man story about this one guy who got sucked into an intake pipe and blew up a ship ( "Changed the political course of the entire sector for centuries to come. I'd call that quite a destiny, wouldn't you?" "I hate you, old man.")
6. Her ship getting infested with gizkas, little space-froggy things, for weeks
7. (cn: violence) Losing her shit at Korriban, slaughtering half the students in the sith academy during an escape attempt
Traumatic/Important Memories:
1. Discovering her true identity as Darth Revan with an extra helping of "so all those people I trusted were using me as a weapon, my entire life is a lie, all that time I've been trying to be a good Jedi and apparently I've blown up whole planets, and I'm a huge idiot"
2. Positive memory: The entire crew, aside from Carth, telling her they still stand by her, despite the above
3. (cn: torture & electrocution) Letting Carth get repeatedly electrocuted by Saul
4. Mediating a murder trial on Manaan, obfuscating the truth and manipulating the judges to get a murderer declared innocent
Character Quirks:
Compassionate and inquisitive about people, while tending to be analytical and calculating about them as well; has been coached to be calm and to rein in her emotions, with mixed results. Dry sense of humour. Has a certain amount of arrogance (I know I'm pretty damn good at what I do, so of course I know what's best); if unchecked, can slip into the-ends-justify-the-means behavior (to wit: "I know what I'm doing is bad, but it's for a good reason, and I wouldn't trust anyone but me to get it done right"). Healthy sense of paranoia.
Mundane Skills:
1. Mechanical skills - basic repair skills, nothing too fancy.
2. Dancing - so there was this time when she helped out this Twilek dancer with her act and just shut up about it okay
Unique Skills:
1. Lightsaber duelling: Can pick up a saber and not cut your own limbs off, maaaybe some familiarity with blocks or acrobatic maneuvers. Obviously, this skill overlaps with ordinary swordfighting, although the weight difference with a metal blade will take getting used to.
2. Force sense: Heightened awareness of your surroundings. Can be partly mundane, simply being more alert than usual, or can be supernatural (detecting the presence of hidden people, or whether someone's intentions are good/evil or hostile/friendly, though this isn't always a sure thing).
Hoshi Takeda [OC] & Eikichi Mishina [OU]
Character: Hoshi Takeda [OC]
Exchanging With: Eikichi Mishina [OU] (Persona 2: Innocent Sin)
Normal Memories:
- It's winter, and you and your papa are going head to head in a snowball fight. It is a long battle, but one you eventually win, and you decide to reward yourself with some hot cocoa with him and your mama.
- Years later, you're in another battle, albeit a much more dangerous one: this time, you're fighting against the Devouring, the sick, disgusting creatures that threaten to destroy the world. You're working alone, because you haven't met your comrades yet, but for the first time in your life, you feel powerful, like nothing in the world can stop you.
- You and Mitsuki like to have tea together every now and then. On one particular occasion, Keiko expresses a desire to join you, and you reluctantly agree. Before long, this results in everyone else — Kotone, Mayu, Sora, and Suzume - inviting themselves over, too. Sounds like a party.
- You're ten years old. It's almost bedtime, and you're only just now sitting down to eat dinner — alone. Your father is nowhere to be found; odds are he's working late again. He never used to miss dinner, before your mother died.
- At Mayu's insistence, you're attending a soccer game with your new friends at their school. You have zero interest in the sport, but the rest of them seem to be enjoying themselves, especially Mayu, so you don't mind being there too much.
- Sora has dragged you out to a scary movie, because no one else could go with her. You close your eyes during the violent parts — not because they frighten you, but because they remind you of things you don't want to remember.
- Keiko is brushing your hair and wants to put it up in pigtails, and you know this is probably a bad idea, but you play along anyway, because it makes her happy.
Traumatic/Important Memories:
CONTENT WARNING for death and violence
- You are seven years old, your mother is dead, and you are pretty sure it was your fault. She was mad at you, you think, and she attacked, chasing you with a knife, so you pushed her away, and she fell down the stairs. Later that night, a black and purple wolf appears on your doorstep, introducing herself as Hotaru. No one else can see her, but she claims that she's here to be your friend and protect you.
- Today is your birthday. There's no party, no cake, and your only gifts are some trinkets and money from your father... and a special key from Hotaru. "Now that you're sixteen, I can tell you! You're a Magical Hunter; you have the power to save the world."
- You and your friends are at the hospital, gathered around Mayu's bedside. You all know that she has never been long for this world, but it doesn't make her passing any easier.
- You haven't had very much time at all to recover from Mayu's death before you lose another precious friend: Sora, who leaps in front of Keiko, taking a mortal blow for her sake. It doesn't take long for her to succumb to her wounds, but when she does, there's a smile on her face.
Character Quirks:
- Very quiet and distant and linefacey. Doesn't smile very often, never laughs.
- Has zero social skills.
- Dresses plainly and tries to attract as little attention as possible.
- Incredibly dependent on the few friends that she has.
- Speaks very formally and is incredibly polite. (For example, she refers to everyone as "family name-san" unless they are very close, in which case they get "given name-san.")
- Opens up a bit more when she's in magical girl mode (i.e., on the battlefield) and becomes more confident and talkative/expressive.

Exchanging With: Yarne [OU] (Fire Emblem: Awakening) —
— Spoilers for Persona 3 up to October 4th all up in here. —
Normal Memories
1. There are memories that are always meant to flow together. They're flashes of moments, like frames of film, most only seconds long, but irrevocably tied together like string without a knot. The memories are of he and Akihiko playing at the orphanage or at the Naganaki shrine at various ages. In mornings. Evenings. Snow. Rain. Sun. All of them are good and differ from one another very little. They're happy and carefree. It's like nothing could possibly go wrong, and they have all the days in their infinite immortal lifetimes to be this way. Sometimes Miki, Aki's younger sister, joins the memories too, like a quiet ghost. She's a shy girl, and Shinjiro wants to look after her, like a brother should even if he's not one, but in the end, she doesn't need much watching. Aki needs more looking-after than Miki ever does. He's a bit weird, and everyone knows it, though Shinji's never called Aki weird to his face, and he can't say he cares so long as Aki doesn't hurt himself. And someone has to make sure that doesn't happen so Shinjiro sticks by him and looks after him and indulges (and happily participates in) all his little games (
most of the time), and if Aki hasn't torn his shirt off by the time he's catapulted down the damn slide like some kind of oiled fish with lightening for blood, Shinjiro knows he's not being competitive enough for his idiotic standards.2. Miki doesn't have any friends, so one day, Shinjiro steals one for her. It's a toy, a doll, that he takes effortlessly from a nearby toy store. He feels a little guilty about it because he's stealing, and he's more than old enough to know that it's wrong. But there are other things that are pretty wrong with how the world works: it's wrong that Miki should have to go without just because she doesn't have parents anymore and the orphanage is poor. So, in his mind, he's just fixing an injustice because he knows it will make Miki happy. However, before he can even give the doll to her, Aki's found out about it. And Aki's idea of what's right and wrong are different from his, because as soon as he realizes what Shinjiro's done, he beats him up for it. Beats the crap out of him even though they're only young kids—seven. Shinjiro thinks about fighting back, almost, except Aki's crying, tears rolling down his face like he intends to drown Shinjiro in them. That hurts more than the punches do, so he lays back and takes it. They return the doll together. Shinjiro never steals again.
3. There's a certain solemnness to this memory. Shinjiro's eight years old. He and Aki are dressed in black, in clothes that are old and don't fit either of them well, and both are leaning against the wall of the building that's not the orphanage—because the orphanage doesn't exist any more. Aki's been crying, but the tears are gone, and he says that he wishes that he were stronger, because if he were stronger, things like this wouldn't happen. There's a pause, and Shinjiro suddenly realizes he can't be who he is now anymore. Shinjiro needs to be stronger, too, and he thinks he knows what he has to do and who he needs to be. So they promise to become stronger together, no matter how long it takes or what sacrifices it requires.
4. The Chairman told Shinjiro that he didn't have much potential. Shinjiro can't say he gives a damn what the Chairman says (he can't even make a decent pun, let alone seem competent, don't matter what his IQ is when you like to act like an idiot), and has taken to making a very quiet, stubborn nuisance of himself within the almost-empty dorm building that the Kirijo family owns and Aki now lives in. Shinjiro's been in the Dark Hour just like they have, and he can't leave Aki to it alone. Finally, after what seems like weeks of waiting, Mitsuru comes down the stairs and hands him something that resembles a gun: an Evoker. Aki acts like he's just gotten the best news of his life. Shinjiro just wants to buy a very short leash.
5. Shinjiro is 17, and drawn to the sound of rough-talking going on at the back alley he frequents now, though says little because he'd rather keep to himself. What he finds when he ventures over doesn't surprise him, especially once the encounter is done with and he's given time to mull the whole stupid thing over. It's like some sort of joke, really. The "what happens when three idiots walk into a bar" type of deal. Except this is Tatsumi Port Island's back alley and he's not laughing. They shouldn't be here. But he'll take care of it.
6. It takes time, needling and resolve, but soon the planning is done, the ingredients are set, and he'll only have Fuuka to watch and manage like a hawk, though she's improving when she bothers to focus and pay attention. He can handle that with his own rough sort of patience. The rest will come easy. Even so, it's easier to feed people than be around them, because they say unnecessary things (like, "thank you, this is delicious) that they should keep to themselves. By the end of it, the evening wasn't nearly as bad (it wasn't at all) as he'd like to pretend. He's forgotten how simple it is to make people happy.
7. He just wants to hear Minako talk. It doesn't matter about what, really. He's not much of a conversation piece, so it doesn't really matter. It helps him get his mind off things, except now it's working less and less, but at least it looks like she's enjoying her life like she should be. That's important to him, somehow. He wishes he could find a way to not ruin it, but he can't think of one. Nothing stays normal for very long. He can't make her forget him, and he doesn't expect her to forgive him for what's probably going to happen. But he's not going to fight what's fair. He just hopes she'll keep smiling, because he'd like her to. Just like he wants all the others to forget him and move on, so maybe he can stop worrying about them. He doesn't want to leave anything behind, doubts or regrets, but he's not doing a very good job.
Important Memories
1. The air is filled with smoke and fire and flakes of falling embers. The orphanage is a roaring inferno of flame: it's devouring their home from the inside out. Aki's yelling and crying and fighting with every last ounce of energy he has, a mess of struggling limbs and wide grey eyes. One of the orphanage workers is holding Aki back, keeping him from running back inside. Aki has already yelled himself hoarse, but Shinjiro has fallen completely silent. Watching. He feels numb. He already knows there's nothing he can do. Miki's in there, but Shinjiro's old enough to know that she's probably dead. He hopes she is, because he doesn't want to imagine her alive in there, scared and alone. He hopes that she's gone and that the fire never had a chance to touch her.
2. The night starts off as any other, edging into the hidden Dark Hour like clockwork even though the watch hands have stopped counting the seconds. The three of them have chased down an irregular Shadow, tracking it to a house in Port Island's back alley, in the cheap housing there.
That's the only normal part of the night. After that, everything goes wrong.
The woman inside the house is awake but something's off, because the Shadow's there but something still isn't right because the woman's not acting half how she should. There's something said about a kid, and Shinji thinks he can't let the Shadow move further inside, because he can't let it harm a little kid. And then, suddenly, something inside him snaps, and his head feels like it's splitting open. He hears someone yelling, but doesn't realize the yelling is coming from him as he tries to hold the pressure in his head back, but he can't. He can't hold it back, because it hurts too much. He sees the little kid then and Castor just tears out of him and there's not a damn thing he can do. Nothing Aki can do and nothing that Mitsuru can do. All he can do is hear Castor's screams and watch the Persona continue on his wild, berserk rampage through the room in a whirlwind of uncontrolled power. Things break and the house is torn apart. Castor stops only when the Shadow is dead, until there's not even wisps of dark to remember its presence by, then he disappears as abruptly as a nightmare.
But the Shadow isn't the only thing that's dead. The woman is dead too. He can tell because he just knows and her body's broken, arms thrown over the little kid in a final effort to protect him, because even if she wasn't all there, she was still a mother in the end. And now she's dead and it's all his fault and nothing can possibly make any of this better. He wishes he were dead. Or that he'd wake up. But nightmares don't get as bad as this.
3. Ken says, "Do you know why I asked you to meet me here?"
Shinjiro does. Of course he does. He hasn't been able to forget. He came to this place to die; he hasn't come here to live.
And by the end, when he's lying in a pool of his own blood and struggling to breathe under the night's dark green sky (still darkening), he finds that everything is (finally) as it should be.
(He told her, though, not to cry.)
4. When she says "I love you," it's not that he doesn't believe her, or that he doesn't feel the same. It's that she shouldn't, and neither should he.
