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...

Soo...Anyone want to swap memories with a cursed girl or a fighter?

ETA FOR MORE DETAIL:

Agatha is a walking plant bane, and believe me when I say she's got good reasons for being so snippy and withdrawn. Serious trauma in some memories. Some of this trauma is actually secondhand - her entire family is basically traumatized people, and they have been for a very, very long time. ... On the bright side, Aggie knows how to anon on the network! Yes!

Haseo has some traumatic memories, but definitely not on Agatha's level. However, she did die before arriving here and has been repeatedly injured in combat, so please keep that in mind. Even so, she's managed to keep going, so...there's that.

...given what Desco is like, putting her in the roulette would be a huge dick move on my part.

So! Who wants to exchange with Desco? Mundane memories include things like watching home videos, listening to Daddy talk about Big Sis, and the casual murder of sapient beings as a form of play!

Edit: Let's just lay everything out, shall we? Desco's Mundane Memories include:
Growing up in a giant lab.
Solitary confinement in the maximum security wing of Hades, the Netherworld's Prison.
Not realizing the things she was breaking for fun were human beings.
Forming a gossip circle to discuss the possibility of hot werewolf/vampire action.

Her Important Memories include:
Seeing a giant robot shaped like Lady Archangel Flonne push the Moon back into orbit.
Meeting her Big Sis in Hell.
The destruction of Fear The Great, God's ultimate doomsday weapon.
Being murdered by her little sister, Lady Des-X, and having her eyes eaten while she was still alive.

Her Personality Quirks include:
Speaking constantly in third person.
Deliberately exaggerating her body language to appear more adorable.

Her Skills include:
Making ridiculous over the top ice cream sundaes.
A surprisingly in-depth knowledge of hair care.
The ability to shatter the fourth wall and directly view the level of anyone she meets.
The ability to speak in the blasphemous tongue of the unknowable Outer Gods, of whom she is an avatar.

Alright! I'm offering Germany, Zelgius, and possibly Sasha for memory exchange (if you want to swap with Apollo or Fattycakes, though, let me know). Just a warning: Germany's and Zelgius's memories might be a tad on the triggery side. Zelgius's might be triggery due to the sheer amount of abuse he experienced as a Branded, while Germany's... uh... well... WWI, WWII, Germany being split into East and West... very history- and trauma-heavy.

So, I have two characters that still need partners. Akane is a ten year old girl who was living a pretty happy life until she found out her family was prominent Yakuza syndicate. Then she ran away from home and things got a little... interesting. But mostly her memories aren't that terrible.

Oichi, on the other hand, is hard mode. Her past is chock full of dying loved ones, abandonment issues, emotional manipulation and abuse, and a whole laundry list of awful things. What she went through drove her insane, so I would not recommend her memories for characters who might not be able to handle the trauma.

I've got two kids offered up for this exchange, so!

HIZUMI MIZUSHIRO

Memories include: the happiest childhood ever, being amazing at everything he ever attempted, and finally having it all come crashing down when fate cockblocks him from being able to save anyone, himself included, from a horrible destiny of blood and murder and death. Memory will include suicide attempts so if you don't want your character suddenly getting memories of that, uh... Swapping with Hizumi is probably not a good idea.

AOI MISATO

Memories include: growing up in a wealthy traditional family and hanging out with the antinques store owner's grandson! Also seeing a lot more death than your average high school girl due to a particularly horrible fire as well as fighting demons at night like any good kid who suddenly gets super powers. Also, possession funtimes.

I can go into more detail on either of them if you guys want or need it, too! And I'm still figuring out which skills to offer up as well, aha.

[personal profile] otakuro 2013-05-13 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
I'll put Atsuro open for a swap, although I don't mind being randomized either!

Atsuro's mundane memories will involve things like going to school, surfing the Internet, fiddling around with computer programming, and playing a lot of video games. Strangely, his parents will almost never be present in any memory. His important memories will include things like the night the lockdown first started and the demon invasion began, being informed by the Death Clock that he would be killed in the battle against Beldr and then surviving, and then the final battle against Babel. The last important memory will probably involve something like a phone conversation with his parents apologizing for missing Christmas and New Year's and also his birthday.

His unique skills, of course, include hacking, programming, and being awesome at gaming.

Who wants the memories of a genius robot?

[personal profile] square_cubelaw 2013-05-13 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
Studied under, and with, some of the greatest minds in the past century.

An expert in several fields of science and math.

Invented a theoretical field of math.

Seen some crazy shite. Including Mars, things outside of time and space, and WW2.

Was invented by Tesla, became a US citizen, and then outwits and outsmarts several secret societies, mad geniuses, AI's and government agencies.

Oh, and then there are comics and learning to shoot from a vigilante.

Lots of interesting memories. Did I mention he's been around since the 1920's?

SO YOU WANT TO BE AN ASSASSIN.

Skills involve heavy use of a variety of guns, sniping, hand-to-hand fighting, running businesses (both legitimate and otherwise), cars, and rocking out on the guitar.

Memories border more on the bad than the good, I'm afraid, with the life this guy has lead. Traits involve being quiet, linefacey, business-like attitude, quiet prejudice against the supernatural and demons, saying "I see" a lot and suddenly knowing how to speak Russian.
demifemme: MADE FOR ME DO NOT TAKE PLZ (Shu - Flower of Hell)

SHURA, GALE

[personal profile] demifemme 2013-05-13 01:34 am (UTC)(link)

HITOSHURA [AU1]

Memories include:
- Completely average and mundane memories of Japanese schooling, life in Tokyo as a single child with both parents, etc.
- THE END OF THE WORLD!
- MURDERS AND MASSACRES!
- LOVE AND WAR!
- THE FACE OF GOD!

Side effects include a short fuse, a hatred of God and all things divine, embracing demons customs like wearing no shirt, the ability to run mid and long distance, talk demons into joining you, and the art of summoning.

GALE [OU]

Memories include:
- War
- Military rations
- Military strategies
- Cannibalism
- Songs
- and those are the mundane ones!

Side effects include the urge to touch the bridge of your nose, the tendency to say "I do not comprehend" a lot, the ability to fight with your feet as main weapons and to use an automatic rifle, but not at the same time.
darkens: (4.)

[personal profile] darkens 2013-05-13 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
SO WHO WANTS TO SWAP WITH A MEGUCA

Hoshi's past is awful and really sad; her memories include killing her mother in self-defense, having a super distant father, and watching two of her best friends die (one in battle, the other of a ~mysterious illness~). But there's also awesome stuff like becoming a magical girl and learning about ~*~the power of love and friendship~*~.

Traits and skills include: martial arts, photography, dark magic, being super quiet and linefacey, lots of self-loathing, and possessing zero social skills.

Swap offers for Naoya, Neku (OU), Tsukasa, or Taro!

[personal profile] poweryetunknown 2013-05-13 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
Also I realized Otoha's the odd man out without a name partner. ANYWAY.

Naoya

Blah blah DeSu spoilers I think we all know them by now. Serious trauma involved in some memories, also possible side effects of horrible headaches and shit. But he has a wealth of knowledge on lots and lots of things! And many skills!

Neku (OU)

The power of slowly un-grumping aka friendship maybe. Some trauma, some random silly things, some skills involving math and science please don't call him a nerd. Uh. idk.

Tsukasa

Horrible traumatic memory warning: child abuse, bullying, parental death. Aside from that lovely set of stuff, a lot of wandering in a fantasy world. Woo.

Taro

Nerd shit. Watching spy movies, wandering around, transforming into various things and people and creatures. Also stealing things! Like Indiana Jones but with taking things from people not random temples! Also horrible memories of watching his family die yeah World War II join the fun etc. Also possibly memories of his death. Fun times?

[personal profile] risingshepard 2013-05-13 02:18 am (UTC)(link)

Alright I don't have time/the attention span to hash out all the details of the skills/memories yet but I'LL DO IT SOON FOR NOW HERE WE GO.

Daichi actually has a really pretty normal life, and most of his memories before Hell Week mostly consist of being Stupid Teenage Boys with Kaito (his best friend since they were practically born), having pretty nice if pretty mundane parents, learning how to snowboard, getting his license, being a nervous wreck, etc etc etc.

Coming with this deluxe package is also a few spatterings of the Septentrione Invasion, including almost killing himself by driving a truck into Dubhe, getting kidnapped by insurgents, learning how to fight with demons, fighting his universe's God, all that good stuff!! Honestly, for him it'd just be better if you wanna give your character a glimpse of having a normal life, and then heaping all the trauma onto him instead.

Provided skillsets include athletic coordination, knowing how to drive a car, and learning how to use magical demon phone magic/punching things really well.

Jun is a lot more fun, but also involves a lot of Persona 2: Innocent Sin Spoilers, so beware.

Basically with Jun you get a family history of neglect from his mother, having Nyarlathotep, everyone's favorite Eldritch Abomination as your father and inspiring you to start a cult, and the associated guilt that you probably assisted your real father's suicide. There's also going insane with a crazy-chaos-persona and starting your own cult, killing a lot of people in yoru city to fuel a spaceship, and then destroying the word. And letting your older sister get killed because you believed your father's crazy conspiracy theories. Good times.

Given all that, his life might be a bit more on the sensitive side, so steer clear if you don't want that kind of emotional trauma, I totally understand. That said, Jun's also trying really really had to pretend all of that didn't happen, so he'll certainly have to vest a lot of trust in your character because after all of that, he's probably gonna beg and pray a lot that you don't tell people around the city he went crazy.

On the plus side, you get a lot of skills like science and invention experience, plus he's basically a goddamn encyclopedia on things like astronomy, botany, literature, physics, and all that jazz. I can hammer that out more later.

SO.

Who wants to swap with Yurippe over here? She's a dead person who's gone through a lot of death and trauma. Also, she comes with a bunch of spoilers for both the Angel Beats! anime and the manga, so beware...

Mundane memories include building things (like a pinwheel) out of clay, ability to use guns/knives, how to do an evil laugh and how to lead people and come up with awesome operations.

I already have something planned for AU!Shiki here, but that still leaves Kairi [personal profile] princessofheart and Miyabi [personal profile] hanakozy who have no one to switch with.

Of the two, I'm going to be significantly more picky with who Kairi ends up swappping with. I'd prefer someone she already has CR with outside of her cast that would probably end up being relatively long term, because her memories are kind of what defines her as her own person in her mind and are very sensitive. Not to mention, a lot of her memories are both conflicting and gruesome at times. Conflicting because she's had two canon swaps before and thus has memories of three different Kairi's in her head, and sometimes that can get a little confusing and jumbled in her mind. Gruesome because she came from a torture facility, and has died before; she has memories of being stabbed in the heart and dying, dying in a car crash, and being incinerated by a raw blast. Kairi also has a lot of just plain painful torturous memories, and on top of that, has fallen sick several times because of her shoddy DNA as a clone of the original Kairi. While there is certainly a lot of good that she's experienced and that will also be a thing in the swap, a lot of what she's seen and done is pretty heavy. As I mentioned before, her memories are important to her and define who she is in her mind, and that's because she's in reality a clone, and so the things she knows beyond Kingdom Hearts stuff is what, to her, make her a unique and original person compared to her original. She's also still in a clone sickness coma and will be until about the 20th, so I'm not too worried about whether or not you think your character has a lot of interesting or intense memories to offer in return! The important thing to me is how it all ends up afterwards uwu

Miyabi is very boring in comparison, mostly just normal teenage girl until demons start invading their city and Philemon starts giving out Personas like he's having a yard sale. Anything you get from her is gonna be more emotional based, I think, and if you're interested I could pull together what I think she'll probably end up exchanging and what not so you can see if you want to! But BE WARNED, SWAPPING WITH HER PROBABLY MEANS YOU'LL GET MEMORIES OF LOVING EIKICHI MISHINA. I REPEAT, LOVING EIKICHI MISHINA. RUN WHILE YOU STILL CAN.

im way too tired to hash out memories, but i'll figure those out soon! ouo

Okay so I already offered up Desco but Kotoha here is so completely different I would feel weird putting them in the same post. So! Kotoha's mundane memories include things like her first plane ride, flying across the country on a six-foot moth, fishing, and growing up in an actual city!

Her important memories include things like winning her first-ever Pokemon battle, exploring ancient ruins and catching her giant moth, and defeating a terrorist leader so hard he loses the ability to function as a human being out of sheer disbelief.

Her skills include: ballet dancing, acting, an instinctive grasp of non-human small unit tactics, and how to maximize combat advantages.

Personality quirks include an unshakeable conviction in her own competence at any task, relentless perfectionism, and being a scenery-chewing ham.

Since she's a Pokemon protagonist and fifteen year old girl, I would prefer not to subject her to violence, abuse, or anything sexual. It doesn't necessarily have to be happy, mind, but I would prefer it not to be horrific.

As it stands right now I've got both my people open

Ruri Hoshino: Deadpan captain of the Nadesico-B and really only sane member of her canon. Frequently used to make jokes about genre characters in anime in general (idol star, princess, genetics experiment, genius girl who frequently stares the 4th wall in the eye) but that comes from being from a canon which itself is half a spoof of its own genre.

Elza.... Rätsel Feinschmecker: A member of the nobility of the space colonies in his world who's family threw away their reputation to start a war to get Earth to mobilize against an invading alien race. Captain of one of the 3 most powerful battle cruisers and arguably one of the most technically proficient mecha pilots of the world. Noted for being a wonderful chef and his theme music trumping all others, even the end boss' music.

SAM ERSTWHILE: aka why do you want to switch memories with a millions-of-years-old Lovecraftian horror i mean really

SO YEAH Sam has a LOT of memories, most of them from his human side. However, his past includes a lot of trauma, including the death of his younger sister, drowning himself to merge with an eldritch horror, seeking revenge on his nemesis/former boss, Y, and other such things. Basically, his traumatic memories include mentions of death, suicide, and body horror so don't apply for him if you don't want that!

His mundane memories probably would focus on his happy childhood with his sister, him being a thief, his lovecraftian side living in a lake for millions of years, and the formation of the earth as well. (Yes, that's mundane for him.) Skills include lockpicking, pickpocketing, being able to eat raw fish on a regular basis without at all being sick, and having knowledge of almost all the fairy tales created in history.

So, does anyone want to switch with Riku? Because he's so early in canon, he doesn't have a lot to go off of, but some things that come to mind are...

- Meeting Terra as a young child and inheriting his Keyblade.
- Kairi's arrival on Destiny Islands during the meteor shower and meeting her for the first time.
- Building the raft with his friends in hopes of seeing the outside world.
- The night he opened the door and darkness spread throughout the islands.
- His arrival in Hollow Bastion, completely alone, before Maleficent finds him...
- His search through Traverse Town to find Sora.

That, and some miscellaneous things like hanging out with his friends on the islands and other mundane experiences.

Personality quirks include a deeply hidden jealousy for his best friend, his snarky and sarcastic exterior, a desire to become stronger/protect the things that matter, outward cockiness masking inward insecurities, and recklessness, just to name a few.

Skills include swordplay, athleticism, carving things out of wood, cleverness and some decent book smarts, and persistence to meet his goals.

Alright, so this here is Lucina! Her life hasn't been the happiest one, but it hasn't been all terrible. Important memories include:
- Basically having to see her friends fall in battle & then fight them again when they return as the Risen
- Seeing Grima for the first time (it's a huge, black dragon, kinda hard to forget)
- Her conversation with Naga & deciding to time travel!
- Revealing herself as Chrom's daughter in the past, and reunion they have as a family.

Not so important memories include:
- Lots of memories of training & working around some medieval army camp.
- Shopping for horrifying dresses with Robin!
- Trying to find out how her parents met
- Yelling at Inigo and then feeling bad about it after
- Awesome cousin bonding times with Owain.
- Promising to protect Yarne.
and more!

Personality quirks: formal speech, usage of "milady" and "milord". A strong sense of justice, a terrible sense of fashion, laughing at jokes that aren't really funny.

Skills: Good with a sword and a lance! A good leader, some knowledge in battles/tactics. A determined, never-give-up attitude.

Would anyone be interested in a magical boy's memories?

Granted, they aren't very shiny. Mikale's past has a TW: Child Abuse bit to it and he has mundane skills like A+ cooking and quirks like the urge to clean all of the things. He's also got magic and empathy and a questionable love life.

Io is a quiet, semi-reserved, and kind-hearted teenage girl that just so happens to have been at the forefront of a demon/star invasion.

Her regular memories include studying, high test scores, a random battle with demons, and doing Japanese high school girl things.

Her important memories include watching her mother die, almost being killed by a train, and almost killing herself trying to channel a demon (which is actually a deity).

Atoli is an outwardly-upbeat girl that until very recently was so entrapped by conflicting social pressures. She is also currently in the body of her MMORPG character.

Her normal memories include low test scores, being shoved around by her peers, and a bit of grinding in said MMORPG, courtesy of Haseo (another Visitor) and one other person.

Her important memories include meeting someone on a suicide website and overhearing that Haseo's comatose girlfriend's character is a palette-swap of her own (leading her to believe that that was the only reason he'd been friends with her).

Faris is an androgynous-looking pirate that once saved everything by cutting down an evil tree (although said evil tree fought back pretty hard and Void'd some towns in the process).

Her regular memories include general acts of piracy, some random monster fighting (it all blurred together at some point), being extremely frustrated wearing a dress, and the location of some secret cave hideout.

Her important memories include her lifelong companion Syldra dying, meeting the rest of the FFV crew (minus Krile), and a late-night convo establishing Faris and Lenna as sisters.
