CHIAKI NANAMI ⬥ DANGANRONPA 2

[joysticks]

→ CHARACTER INFO

Name: Chiaki Nanami
Canon: Danganronpa 2

Blurb: Cute AI girl who just wants to play video games and make sure that none of you try to kill each other. Seriously. Don't do it. I know that Cetana was a murdergame in disguise but don't put her through another killing game (stares off into the distance). Anyway, she has a bad habit of falling asleep everywhere and sometimes forgets to eat/breathe while playing her games so she needs someone to watch over her or else she will die (again).

Starter Pokemon: She has a Mimikyu! Shiny because of ~reasons~. He likes to hide in her backpack and play video games. She's such a proud trainer :')
Legendary Pokemon: Giratina
Plans: Nanami will be one of the guides of Pokespe! She's been in Cassava for an ??? amount of time, arriving before everyone else, so when everyone is busy burning their single shared brain cell, she's here to help move the plot along. She's a walking Pokemon encyclopedia so she will also act as the Pokedex for everyone. She's basically like the Velvet Room Attendants from Cetana but more competent.

I don't have many other plans for her, but I do want her to live her best life by making friends and being the best goshdarn Pokemon trainer that ever was. Also, I want her to be pals with some jerks, haha. Let her patience soothe you, wild children.

REI ⬥ PERSONA Q

[joysticks]

→ CHARACTER INFO

Name: Rei
Canon: Persona Q

Blurb: c/ps cetana's interest check comment-- a super bubbly girl who absolutely loves eating. She will eat absolutely anything that she can get her hands on, including paper, Mysterious Food X, smelt ice cream, mysterious shrinking potions, and so on. She has a depressing past, but shhh, it's fine, it's fine. She's not going to come into this world and reverse her canon development. It's fineeeeeee.

However, I'm thinking about playing Rei from the time that she was Niko so before she died and actually became Rei. She'll be a lot more gloomy because she spent her entire life in a hospital and be more cynical, butttttt she'll also quickly become just like Rei once she makes some actual friends. Please let her evolve into how she is in canon naturally and not via memory wiping.

Starter Pokemon: I have no idea?? Growlithe because protective dog?? Comfey because it's cute as heck and it can also heal???
Legendary Pokemon: idk Latios?? She'll only open her heart if you're not a jerk :T
Plans: The reason why I want to play Niko rather than Rei is 1) I don't want to play Rei's whole dilemma on living in a new world vs knowing that it's right to go back and die because I already did that in Cetana and I don't think there's another interesting angle to do and 2) I think it'd be really fun to play this side of Rei and have her actually deal with all the problems she had as Niko and not just one of them. Soooooooooooo...

Yeah! I want Niko to have faith in life again! I want her to crawl out of her despair! I want her to have friends! I want her to become more and more like Rei! She's going to be really quiet and reserved at first, but hopefully, having some good friends will help her break out of her shell. I am also not going to cure her at all of her illness because I want to play her like Wally from Gen III: be sick but can still kick ass with Pokemon and if she dies, well, she dies peacefully and won't have a mental breakdown in limbo.

Enable me: Nanami is already in the game and I'm pretty set on Rei but... I have been thinking about Zen from PQ as well... if no one is going to play my PQ cuties then I'll just do it myself :T

Anything else: I will kill for Dangan castmates, especially a DR3 Nanami. I will gladly partake in a murdergame for them.

SOUJI SETA ⬥ PERSONA 4 ⬥ RECOLLE CRAU

[tarotcards]

→ CHARACTER INFO

Name: Souji Seta
Canon: Persona 4 ⬥ Recolle CRAU

Blurb: Souji is pure chaotic energy. Yes, he can be a very serious and responsible person who manages to lead a team and stop a murderer, but at the same time... he will absolutely eat every single one of the berries meant for Pokemon, throw up, and then proceed to do it all over again. While I'm playing two cute and calm girls, I need a dumbass who will do whatever he wants whenever he wants.

Also, he'll be coming in as a Recolle CRAU but from the very beginning of the game! So, he will be avoiding all of those awkward "hey I know you" typical CRAU CR stuff and for my very first bonus regain, I'll be giving him back all of his canon memories. In addition, this CRAU will involve him having a twin named Yu Narukami so that means you're having 2x the p4tags and 2x the disaster

Starter Pokemon: idk i literally got enabled to playing souji within seconds so i didn't think too hard about this


Legendary Pokemon: idk as well. look i just jumped into this as bewildered as anyone else
Plans: i guess causing mayhem and doing stupid shit. have cr with me

SOOYOUNG HAN ⬥ OMNISCIENT READER

[authoriser]

→ CHARACTER INFO

Name: Sooyoung Han
Canon: Omniscient Reader
Blurb: Sooyoung is not... exactly friendly. Being from a world where survival was the utmost importance, she's always prioritized that first and foremost--not getting too close to anyone, aloof, standoffish, etc but she's have gotten slightly more chill regarding that because of certain influences. She still doesn't openly trust people right off the bat, and can be manipulative about it, since the person she can trust the most is herself. If you get CR with her, expect some banter except when your character doesn't somehow. Expect her to flounce sometimes.

Starter Pokemon: Ditto/Gastly... idk yet
Legendary Pokemon: Zekrom or Reshiram
Plans: Maybe she'll regain a car... aka idk. we'll see.

EFINA ⬥ LIEAT

[nyom]

→ CHARACTER INFO

Name: Efina
Canon: LiEat

Blurb: Efina is a little dragon girl who looks like she's 4-5 years old and is like... three feet tall. Real freaking tiny. She's expected to be around Theo, her papa, very often during this journey. She's very sweet, open to learning about all sorts of things about people and the world, kindhearted, and being serious when the situation calls for it, since she's been through a lot. Oh, she can also eat lies and breathe fire (if taken from LiEat III) if she ever regains her powers. Fun. If your character is a chronic liar, prepare to be covered in little black blobs when they're around her.

I actually don't know what canon point to take her from just yet, so her personality might be a little... different depending on that. idk. we'll see!!

Starter Pokemon: I'm open to suggestions since I haven't picked one out right now, but I'll get to it eventually if I don't get anything.
Legendary Pokemon: Maybe Latios.
Plans: It's been a long time since I played a literal child character, and I want her to make a lot of friends and have fun while she's here. I also want her to go through so many appearance changes during her stay! Give her a makeover. Give her all sorts of hairstyles. Go wild. These aren't exactly plans, but I also want someone to only recognize Theo (her dad) who changes appearances at the drop of a hat, by seeing Efina around and be like "ah that's Theo" lmao.

BEATRICE ⬥ UMINEKO NO NAKU KORO NI

[goldsend]

→ CHARACTER INFO

Name: Beatrice
Canon: Umineko no Naku Koro ni

Blurb: Beatrice is a cruel witch who has lived for a thousand years and executed a series of bizarre murders on Rokkenjima. She's known to be violent and whimsical, though she also has a more childish side which shows especially when things aren't going her way. After challenging the protagonist of the story, she's trying to convince him that witches and magic exist. It's complicated and there are many feelings and murders throughout the story.

Without her teacher and her servants, she might feel a little lost, but she's going to act like Everything Is Fine and be her troll self. She loves mystery stories and magical girls and enjoys performing magic tricks in front of kids. Gotta maintain that witch reputation somehow.

Starter Pokemon: Misdreavus or Wrumple
Legendary Pokemon: Mewtwo or Xerneas
Plans: I just want her to be her annoying, crude self with a little less murder since she's not in her natural habitat also known as Rokkenjima. However, I definitely wouldn't mind if she accidentally gave someone an idea for a closed room murder or something because I'm rude like that :"")

Atsushi Nakajima ⬥ Bungou Stray Dogs

[thetyger]

Name: Atsushi Nakajima
Canon: Bungou Stray Dogs

Blurb: He's a sad, depressed boy with no self-worth, yet has an extreme desire to live. He's generally nervous and apprehensive of things and his fixation on his past holds him back a little, but he forges ahead for the most part and has a strong moral foundation.

Starter Pokemon: Idk.
Legendary Pokemon: Azelf
Plans: None, really. He needs some friends that aren't job-related. Atsushi is pretty grounded and he'll be here to at everyone's idiotic choices and be the voice of reason 70% of the time.

Ori

[compendiem]

Name: Ori
Contact: birdseed

→ CHARACTER INFO

Name: Minato Arisato
Canon: Persona 3 good end

Blurb: I, unlike Ichi, did not write this out beforehand so UHH Minato is a sleepy boy and I'm going to try my damnest to make him a good sleepy boy but I've written one thread with Ichi pre-Pokespe and it's not going well (':!!! He's from the good end, so THEORETICALLY he knows about the strength of bonds and all that jazz, but he is still Minato, so, yeah. This blurb says nothing about Minato but also he's just like that

Starter Pokemon: He will be starting with a Yamask! I decided just now that her nickname will be Facehugger bc that is what she does
Legendary Pokemon: Giratina... don't think too hard about this
Plans: Give me my Combee farm dreams. That, and I have my side plot involving finding Yamask's grave, and my Pokemon dreams will be fulfilled

→ OTHER INFO

Enable me: IDK!!! I'm going to start with one character and see how work goes if I have enough time to take on another. There's a murdergame in the fall that I'm on the fence about depending on whether my work schedule allows for it, so if I'm able to get in, you're stuck with just Minato so I can balance the workload, otherwise I was thinking maybe Kano from Kagepro so he could get stuck with black blobs literally all the time, or Yachi from Haikyuu!! or Ala my good girl who I miss with all my heart and thank you to people playing with her in psls rn

Anything else: Nanami will be your guide for all things encyclopedic about Pokemon, but Minato will be able to relay things about the region at large through his Yamask, which can possess him by latching onto his face and speak through him! Cetana guides did absolutely nothing so it can only go up from here

the sleepy guides: ( appear before the group in rags and slightly burnt hair)
the sleepy guides: hi

→ PLAYER INFO

Name: Amber
Contact: secondhandmagic

→ CHARACTER INFO

Name: Fai D. Flourite
Canon: Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle

Blurb: Fai is super friendly and generally very nice! He's also an incredibly powerful magician and world traveler! Although he's nice, Fai is very emotionally distant and tries not to get close to anyone or care about them (he's very bad at it). He's a big liar and likes to smile and pretend that everything is fine when it's not.

Starter Pokemon: I haven't decided yet! Definitely an Ice type. Suggestions are more than welcome!
Legendary Pokemon: Lugia, Kyogre, or Mesprit or maybe another one entirely
Plans: Kind of! I plan on taking him from an earlier canonpoint so I want him to have friends and people he really cares about first and foremost! I also hope that he learns how to just... live, and let go of his past and everything. Basically I just want him to go against the decision he made to not be close to anyone. Other than that, I have no concrete plans for him!

→ OTHER INFO

Enable me: I'm pretty much settled on Fai, but I've got a muselist here and can be convinced to bring in any of them.

Anything else: I'm just happy to be here!

I'm canonblind to Fai, but early canon point and 'letting go of the past' solidarity. o/

Name: Dokja Kim
Canon: Omniscient Reader (Vella CRAU)

Blurb: usually polite and mostly friendly, a nice guy as you get to know him! in some ways a little awkward but he's managed to grow since, dumb in the "i sacrificed my life A Lot (7 times) and my friends no longer trust me but i swear it was for the greater good." he's a sole reader of one webnovel and loves to talk about it. he reads into the details and sometimes notices thing most don't because he's just that kind of person. deep down he's pretty self conscious and doesn't think much of himself smh.

Starter Pokemon: Rookidee! Or Cottonee.
Legendary Pokemon: Probably Cosmog, Xerneas, or Reshiram.
Plans: i'm sorry that one of the reasons for Murder™ is because of this guy here-- but!! mostly i want to explore dokja in another setting, and i mean.... pokemon..... i love.... love to see him make connections with other people, bridge that point of making more companions! once you can get past the secret murder i suppose-- listen, it was for a Good Cause. just friends murdering for friends HE IS COMING FROM VELLA so from an animal crossing game into a pokemon one.... what a fun field trip

→ CHARACTER INFO

Name: Lalli Hotakainen
Canon: Stand Still Stay Silent

Blurb: He’s just a shitty, poorly socialized cat. Bratty, sulky, doesn’t like working with people, calls everyone stupid, has literally bitten people. Also a mage, which means he sees ghosts which is less fun then it sounds. Also has a tragic backstory, but he’s from post-apocalyptic Finland so that’s just kind of a given.

Really fucking loves cookies though, and will probably choke and die on boba.

Starter Pokemon: Espurr........... or maybe something like phantump, pumpkaboo, or litwick. There are too many choices actually.
Legendary Pokemon: Xerneas
Plans: To collect as many pokefriends as possible, whether that means pokemon or people. (It means pokemon. Lalli has made One friend and who knows if he can repeat that.)

Asides from that I’m just playing by ear.

→ OTHER INFO

Enable me: I’m not 100% on Lalli, though if I brought in someone else it’d probably be an OC and probably a turbo dumbass so hand wobbles.

Anything else:: i wrote this on my phone and kept deleting the coding

[compendiem]

lifts Lalli up and like... teaches him how to drink boba... I hope some of our deaths in the game are just asphyxiation by boba
but also I support his dedication to make as many pokemon friends as possible, never mind people, people suck

Name: Joonghyuk Yoo
Canon: Omniscient Reader, Vella CRAU (animal crossing game)...

Blurb: Yoo Joonghyuk is that overpowered gary stu from the 1990s designed with old bl aesthetic (black/white theme, tall dark & handsome, multiple belts, extreme murderous intent, aloof, unyielding, overall bad boy, etc). Having gone through the same apocalypse over a thousand times in his world, he's rather distrusting, curt, arrogant, and pragmatic. Awful personality. However, he can be kind in the actions speak louder than words way.

Starter Pokemon: Eevee which he'll treat like a princess
Legendary Pokemon: Zacian......?
Plans: Joonghyuk is part of the murder on first day crew, I'm sorry. He's here to kill someone for a friend he made in Vella. Small world? Otherwise, i am here for a fun time and to go with the flow after that escapade. I love Pokemon and miss playing with a Poke-setting, so here I am. smile

[lienhearts]

→ CHARACTER INFO

Name: Theobald Leonharts
Canon: LiEat

Blurb: Con artist who changes his name and face in every new town. He's Efina's "papa" and begrudgingly(?) drags her from place to place. Lies come as easily to him as breathing, and he can put on all kinds of acts even if his true personality is rather gruff. Has a tragic backstory and a tattoo he'll try to keep hidden as long as possible, may or may not accidentally adopt some people? He is going to hate the legendary mark.

Starter Pokemon: Zorua
Legendary Pokemon: Darkrai probably??? or a dragon type idk I'm basing this entire off of Aesthetic(TM)
Plans: Come up with a new identity for each new town (I will die), be generally only recognizable because he's hanging around Efi at any given time, be the grumpy single dad who dotes on his dragon daughter but like, tsun about it. Insist everything is Not His Problem but help solve it anyway.

Also since he's a professional liar he may be doing some call outs if people want their lying liarface characters to get caught.

→ CHARACTER INFO

Name: Mammon
Canon: Obey Me!

Blurb: Mammon is the Avatar of Greed, and the second oldest of his seven sin-aligned brothers! He is absolute garbage. Despite being greedy, self-centered and completely lacking in moral fiber, he's terrible at everything he does and has no respect from literally anybody. Despite being pretty famous in the Devildom due to his status as a famous model and high ranking demon, he's a sensitive baby who takes everything personally and reads pretty much any comment a person can make as a potential blow to his self esteem. He acts like he's literally the coolest and most powerful dude alive while simultaneously crying into his hands when confronted with the realization that nobody likes him (which is probably a realization he has like 50 times a day).

He'll steal everything that isn't nailed down. Pokemon included, if he can figure out a way to sell them. He'll, like, pout if you get mad at him for it though, so he'll do his best not to get caught.

Starter Pokemon: Meowth! His animal alignment in canon is a tiger and he has a lot of manekineko imagery in game, so.
Legendary Pokemon: I'M STILL DECIDING "don't worry about thinking too hard on this" you say as if i'm not going to think too hard on this... unbelievable...
Plans: he is going to take one thing from every character in game. one thing. at least one thing. i'm telling you now. something's getting taken

→ OTHER INFO

Enable me: I had a few other characters in mind but I think Mammon is the most capable of shitposting? That's all I want. I thought about bringing his brother Beel who has tried to eat plates and tables in canon but I would just inevitably try to make him vore a legendary and that's simply not the energy I want to be channeling once we hit endgame.

Canon: Kingdom Hearts

Blurb: A girl who wasn't really a girl, but more like a shadow given form and some terrifying powers along with it. And then a lot of things happened, and now she's a real girl, learning how to be a real girl. She's soft-spoken and oftentimes self-conscious and guilt-ridden, but she's a quietly, fiercely brave soul underneath all that.

Name: Goro Akechi
Canon: Persona 5 Royal (might just do vanilla p5, depends on spoiler levels etc.)

Blurb: (No royal spoilers here, but general P5 spoilers are!) Famous Ace Detective by day, persona user by night, Goro Akechi seems to uphold a pristine image. He’s smart, handsome and polite — but beneath that is a deeply troubled boy who has a lot of...issues. LOTS OF THEM. He’s good at keeping a nice face but behind that metaphorical mask is a guy who acts purely out of self-interest. He’s kind of a mess. : )

Starter Pokemon: Murkrow maybe. Or...Espurr?
Legendary Pokemon: Lugia or Entei
Plans: I’m winging it but let’s become an ace trainer. Yeeeee. Show him the power of friendship (and gl trying to convince him it works)?? Idk he’s got no chill

→ OTHER INFO

Enable me: Also considering Ann from P5 and Felix from Fire Emblem Three Houses! Feel free to enable me!

Anything else: If I do go with Akechi, I would like to take him from Royal! However I know the game is still pretty recent and some people might be avoiding spoilers, so let me know if you think I should reconsider switching to vanilla P5!

GIRA

[infiltrationtools]

→ PLAYER INFO

Name: Gira
Contact: skysplitter @ plurk, disc upon request

→ CHARACTER INFO

Name: Akira Kurusu
Canon: Persona 5 Royal

Blurb: Akira is very dedicated to appearing as a perfectly normal teenage boy. He's nice enough, clever and affable, ready to take the lead when the going gets tough. Maybe he knows too much about picking locks, or using handguns, or sneaking around places where he shouldn't be. Maybe his tone gets real dark when you start talking about power imbalance or megacorporations or the like. He may or may not make allusions to the gods and monsters who supposedly live inside his head. But that's fine! It's fine. Not suspicious at all, right?

Unlike Cetana, this Akira will be fresh and new from a file of Persona 5, either Royal or vanilla.

Starter Pokemon: I'm thinking Zorua.
Legendary Pokemon: I am not self-centered enough to make it my own namesake, Giratina, so probably Yveltal? I feel like there's a better option though.
Plans: I just want to give Akira a good ending. That's all I want. Reviv to Cetana was fun, but it's unarguable that Akira was doing really poorly mentally. That's not to say that I'm disinterested in darker subjects -- far from it -- but rather I want to achieve a better balance with a more well adjusted and... somewhat less traumatized character.

→ OTHER INFO

Enable me: I'm gonna be real with you guys I had a little bit of a crisis over whether or not I wanted to play someone from YGO VRAINS instead, likely either Yusaku or Ai. But that would involve untangling VRAINS' plot, so I'd probably only do it in a game if people are interested in playing with them.

Anything else: Confession time, I have not played Royal beginning to end yet. I've been working on it. However, I have played P5 vanilla a couple of times now, I am in the middle of my own Royal playthrough, and I've watched the third semester in a Let's Play. I think it would be really fun to mess with the new information we get in the third semester, but I haven't decided if I'm comfortable playing from a canon I haven't seen 100% front-to-back yet? IDK.

Blurb: A charming, princelike salaryman at day, degenerate gamer chad at night. Itaru literally gets that capitalist bread just so he can whale in his gacha games which - you know, if it makes him happy. He's also found a newfound love for theater because he gets to act as his faves in his videogames and animanga so that's cute! Probably. He'd still call you a pleb if he finds out that you're a pathetic f2p though :/

Starter Pokemon: MY INDECISIVE ASS AGONIZES OVER THIS so probably Riolu. Most likely for competitive reasons.
Legendary Pokemon: Virizion! Not to be confused with Verizon, which took me off a loop for a moment there.
Plans: HE REALLY JUST WANTS TO BE ISEKAI'D TO GET AWAY FROM HIS ADULT RESPONSIBILITIES so. mood. But yeah I really just want him to live out his childhood dreams of becoming a Pokemon Master. Also he miiight actually know Pokemon bc he's collab'd with Psycho-Pass and currently Pac-Man so that's. Fun. wild hand gestures we shall see

Blurb: Energetic, cheerful and loud, Crow is the kind of friend that will have your back no matter what. He may be a bit short-tempered and even reckless at times, but at the end of the day he always means well. Due to his own rough childhood, he has a soft spot for kids and will do anything to keep them safe and happy, even if his methods are not, strictly speaking, legal. Rules are made to be broken anyway ─ unless they're card games rules, of course.

Starter Pokemon: MURKROW duh
Legendary Pokemon: Most likely Yveltal, maaaybe Giratina?
Plans: LET HIM CATCH ALL THE BIRDS. That aside, he's always up for an adventure and challenge, so the gym challenge is right up his alley. Also probably adopting every child he meets on the way.

Name: Sagi
Canon: Baten Kaitos

Blurb: Friendly, cheerful, babyfaced JRPG protagonist teenager who loves his family and almost never turns down a fetch quest (even if he gets pouty about it). He would do great in a non-murdery mainline pokemon game but was born into a canon full of cynical political drama instead, which is Oops for him because he is incredibly bad at plans and also basically incapable of not thinking aloud, so almost everyone else in said canon kicks him around like a football that can be convinced to stab people every now and then. Tbh he's not even a real protagonist, and the entity he thought was his personal guardian angel for most of his life turned out to be a lump of magical corpse meat surgically stitched inside him as a baby without anyone ever telling him... He is genuinely nice and likes people to get along, though! He also has giant (nonfunctional for now) translucent bird wings and bird feathers which appear to be floating behind him permanently but are absolutely physical enough to be injured or traumatically ripped out! You gotta have wings!

Starter Pokemon: Shiny Pawniard! it coincidentally looks like his nonbinary robot childhood best friend so i Must
Legendary Pokemon: Silvally ;)
Plans: lowkey crisis because in canon all his inventory fits in the equivalent of pokeballs and he has to actually carry things now lowkey ongoing existential crisis because he has never been alone in his head, body or soul before BUT MOSTLY, jrpg protag gotta protag! have adventures! make friends! pretend he's cool! learn a musical instrument! knock someone's hat off with his wings! accidentally witness more murders! (commit more murders??) climb onto the roof of a pokecentre because none of his bffs with an actual brain cell are here to dissuade him from the stupid ideas that go through his head and hopefully there will be no other braincells to be found here as a replacement! definitely not accidentally turn into a big gangly monster again if he gets a certain power regain after a while! yeah!!

Enable me: probably don't have time for a second for a while :(

Anything else: look at these neat obscure canon, i love the characters such as [looks at smudged wrist]

[compendiem]

wtf was that about corpse meat--
anyways shiny starters won't be allowed outside of the two guide's but there will be opportunities for encountering shiny Pokemon as the game progresses/through bonuses! either way I'm glad for a protag who will actually protag

Enable me: Gonna slap this up here for the sake of keeping things a little clean. Other than the two down below, also considering Michiru Kagemori (BNA) or Aerith Gainsborough (FFVII), but the later would also need a hella lot of review too.

Anything else: Even if I'm throwing multiple options up here, I'll probably only have time for one but I like having options! Going back to work is going to be murder on my energy levels is all x.x

RIKU ♡ KINGDOM HEARTS

[darkdivide]

→ CHARACTER INFO

Name: Riku
Canon: Kingdom Hearts

Blurb: Best Friend Makes Questionable Choices archetype. Riku was ambitious and cocky and had a hand in nearly destroyed his whole universe. Since then, he's been trying to atone for his sins, and hasn't been as much of a jerk to his friends. He's loyal, protective, relatively friendly but still hella awkward at times, strong, and if he's comfy with you, he'll likely snark and tease because that's what he does.

Also he'd come in post DLC, so he might be a bit Sad(tm) and have relapsed into some of this less-than-stellar self-care habits. WHOOPS.

Starter Pokemon: Hatenna or Ralts (for Gardevoir)
Legendary Pokemon: How dare you tell me not to think too hard on this!!! Idk Cresselia, Latios, Lunala and Cobalion are my top contenders rn...
Plans: This is all someone's fault and they know what they did. idk, exploring? Being curious about Pokemon is a given. Making friends would be fun and healthy for him too to help him Get Over Sora a little better because gdi Riku you need to stop losing your friends :(

→ CHARACTER INFO

Name: Yu Narukami
Canon: Persona 4 Golden | Recolle CRAU | Original

Blurb: ALSO A PERSONA 4 PROTAG!! WHAT'S UP WITH THAT??? WHO KNOWS! Yu is drawn from P4G, and he's somewhat different to his incredibly loud, incredibly expressive twin, Souji. He can be a little bit more stoic, and is more prone to weird, bad, nonsensical jokes than he is puns (though do not count him out on puns I swear to god). Like his twin, however, he too is capable of Serious Leader Times and Solving Murder Crimes while maintaining 29385729837589 odd jobs and eating grass and petting cats. And also because this is from the golden anime and it is funny he is an absolute MASTER at maintaining an extremely full schedule

As with Souji he is coming from a Recolle CRAU but ALSO from the very beginning of the game, so he will also be dodging that weird "hey I already know you" CR! And he'll be different from his canon self thanks to said CRAU mostly in just being more awkward and quiet than you might normally expect. But as Ichi says with 2x the twin you're going to get 2x the disaster so I am very sorry in advance

Starter Pokemon: UHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh cat. look i dont know ICHI CALL ME
Legendary Pokemon: zekrom and ichi can fight me because back when i played that game i caught a zekrom and named it pancakes and you cannot stop me from recreating PANCAKES 2.0
Plans: This version of Yu had a previous run where he was Sad A Lot For Good Reasons and I kinda wanna do some things differently this time so idk I guess he's gonna collect every cat-shaped thing and probably talk a lot about how amazing Souji is? please be his friend he's so alone

i also distintinctly remember ichi laughing about him having no family and being ALL ALONE and i cant find it so this is just me doxxing ichi for being the worst
