Here's our thread! I reserved some of the spots in the character tab for information on the school, classes and the teachers~ Later I'll add in some reserved spots for our arcs and stuff. :3

Thank you for starting our thread! You really went all out, and it looks amazing! <3 Are all the posts needed reserved right now? C: If so, I'll try to get a character sheet up asap, but I don't want to accidentally ruin your beautiful formatting if I post my OC before I really should!

:3 thank you. Yep. You can post your character sheet, I've already got the reserved spots that will be edited later~

Okay! C: I'll toss up a quick WIP sheet. I have to leave for a bit, so I can finish later!

Okay~ I'll post up my character later.

Hopefully that will suffice? I wasn't sure how long the bio stuff should be, so I just slapped up a few short paragraphs!

Wonderful! I have added some more stuff about the school and I'm almost done with it for now. Were there any clubs or anything you wanted to mention? I'll get to work on my character really soon. I've been looking around for more information on the flames and stuff.

All I could imagine at the mention of clubs was Yamamoto wondering if there would be a baseball club, HAHA. Though I imagine even if there was one (or any club, for that matter), there would be...some sort of weird, mafia twist to it all. Drama clubs would be less about acting for the fun of it, and more for perfecting those facades needed to trick people, cooking club is all about students sharing tips on how to poison different kinds of dishes/drinks without anyone noticing... No rush! And you're working so hard, ahhh ;;

Bianchi would be the head of the cooking club. :p Even the newspaper...it'd have all the latest news on the mafia world. Some of the clubs like the martial arts and kendo clubs are more about learning fighting styles~ The art club is going to be interesting because most of the kids in that club are learning how to use art as a means of getting information around without it being detected (by literally hiding it in the art.) Eh...I get a bit carried away at times with stuff like this ^^" I don't mind really. I forgot to ask (again) but our characters know each other before coming to Durante, right?

Haha, no doubt about it! The Vongola kids think that it's just them at this school, open up the door to the home economics room and surprise! Bianchi! (And down goes Gokudera...) I think the hidden sides to these potential clubs would be pretty hilarious and fun. As if our characters need any more obvious signs that they've been enrolled in the wrong school! Yes! I guess it depends how close we want them to be? Like do we want them to be close childhood friends that their parents brought together, or...?? C:

And Shamal could be the school doctor. And Professor Rebo-yama comes back. For the first week or two they think that they'd be going nuts or something. Hm...what do you think would be fun for us both to do?

What a horrifying school! I love it. When they finally think they're starting to get used to it after the first week, they'll find some new, wacky thing to be horrified by... I guess whichever could work! They could either by close friends from the get-go so that they can confide their newfound horrors and fears with one another right away...or they could be brought together from acquaintances to good friends by bonding over the madness. Two sane people in a sea of crazy!

Ahaha...Tsuna would just..."Damn you Reborn!" Hm. Both options would work for me? Uh...hm...we could go with an established friendship then?

Haha, long suffering Tsuna. He never catches a break! I can imagine things going in such a way where he'd abruptly have to watch Lambo's class for half an hour or something. 20-30 wide-eyed, mafioso children like Lambo staring up at poor, sweet Tsuna like hungry lions... Works for me! I guess one of the questions then is how exactly they accidentally got accepted to this school in the first place!

Hm...I've been toying with that idea for a while now and the one thing that sticks out to me was that Reborn did it on purpose. :/ I'm not sure what country they would have come from but since Reborn has eyes everywhere...it is kinda possible with him. He's always on the look out for people who would benefit the family in some way. Even if they could never become guardians (they'd be more like back-ups just in case) they would still have some use for the family. Maybe they had been applying to an international school and Reborn had been keeping tabs on them for a while. It sounds a bit crazy and creepy but Reborn seems to scout for people specifically to join the family.

That could certainly be possible! I'm not sure how they'd catch his eye in the first place if they aren't somehow related to the mafia, unless they maybe both have...distant relatives (or like a great grandparent or something) that does have ties, which is how Reborn tracked them down in the first place with the assumption that although they're civilians, they might have some sort of latent ability for fighting/flames? ...It's late and I'm totally just saying random things now. They applied for an international school --> Reborn swapped out the papers --> boom, accepted to Durante?

I was thinking that they would have been related to someone way down the line. Their respective ancestors probably weren't guardians or anything major (they could have been) but rather some of the other people close to the boss (not relatives because that would have put a kink into everything) or from the early Varia (assuming that it's been around longer than Xanxus). I really like that you kind of read my mind on the whole flame thing~ They just wouldn't have been descendants of former Vongola members that he was looking for, they would have strong abilities in their own rights that would have benefited the Vongola. So I was reading this 'guide' on flames and how they fit into the KHR universe and it was really helpful. So flame users are pretty much always with the mafia (and its hereditary- Bianchi and Gokudera both have storm flames and likely got it from their father) and they always have a job within the mafia that fits with their flame. Typically the ones with the flames become the guardians but look at the Varia - they aren't guardians. Take Gokudera and Lambo for example. Since both are guardians they have the most obvious jobs - protecting the family.

As is true for all flames, Storm flames don't dictate personality, but a job within their family that is usually tied in with their fighting style. To be a Storm Guardian is to be the center of offense.

So Gokudera is the guy that is there to take out as many as the enemy numbers as he can in order to either make things easier for his family or to keep them safe. He role is to be "continuously at the center of the attack, the furious storm that never rests."

The job for the Lighting Flame users is that of defending the rest of the group. The great thing about Lighting Flames is that they can be used for both offense and defense—generally defense when others in the group are being threatened and offense when they are on their own.

Lambo has a shield and if you look at Ganauche III, the 9th's Lightning Guardian he uses his ring to create a shield of lightning flames. Lambo or any lightning user for that matter, is there to protect everyone. His role is to To draw damage to himself and away from the rest of the Family, serving as a lightning rod." Shields to that in battle. Since your character is a Rain flame user her job would to be to keep conflict down.

Rain flame users are supposed to be able to ease conflict, but as you can tell—like in regular human beings—they don't always have the personality to fit the part. However, settling conflicts does not have to be done as a 'calming agent' a la Momiji from Fruits Basket. Squalo, for instance, settles conflicts by intimidating people into submission. So long as your OC can keep a conflict down, whether within their family or in inter-family relations, they fit the role no matter what personality they have.

I think Squalo should have been the mom, not Luss.... Their jobs for the Vongola are pretty simple - they don't need to have their flames at the center. As long as their flames fulfill their 'roles' then everything will be just fine (Examples would be that Gokudera - a storm flame user (although he uses 5 different types his storm flame is the strongest) couldn't take on Yamamoto's job of keeping the peace and vice versa.) They could be informants, spies, or even go-betweens for Tsuna and the Varia. If we decide that in the future they'd be go-betweens then their roles are pretty simple - your character is the one to keep things between Tsuna and Xanxus calm and generally just easier for everyone while my character would be the one to protect yours (in case of emergencies because there would be times when they need to go to where the Varia and some action are going down) and together they could form something similar to Hibari's Foundation - an outside force that offers assistance. Their jobs (in regards to their flames) would be fulfilled and they would have importance that Reborn would have notice that the family needs. So it's almost 4am here and I keep rambling.. Here's the little guide thing. Reborn is a sneaky little dude. He could have had the Headmaster pull some strings as well.

Ahh, sorry! I dropped off to sleep because it was so late, and after waking up at my desk I just dragged my butt to bed. That being said... But have I never told you that you're brilliant? Because you're brilliant. Thank you for the link on the flame info! It was super informative, and I found myself reading through the whole thing since it served to be such a useful refresher. It was really nice to see everything laid out like that in terms of all the different flame users in canon and how they fit their roles in different ways. Very interesting! I also like your idea of what their possible roles would be in the future! It gives us an idea of where we'd go with character development/plots that might come up. I think that really nicely wraps up the issue of how they would have been found by Reborn and brought to the school in the first place as well! (Also your OC looks super fun so far! C: I think all the characters will have an interesting dynamic together, that's for sure!)

Aww thank you~ I'm glad my rambles actually make sense. Hm was there anything else that we needed to discuss? Oh...yeah the first arc! (I'll edit the reserved arc spot with this information) • Reborn intercepts applications and switches them to Durante. With Tsuna's group he just goes behind their backs and enrolls them all at Durante (or he discussed it with the parents and Bianchi beforehand.) • Everyone arrives at Durante. He opening ceremony happens (it's pretty kuch a giant orientation for the new students) • Within the first week of school our ocs notice that well Durante is different. Tsuna and the others adapt pretty well. This is all I have for our first arc. I have a slight tendency to get a tiny bit controlling over how things play out (since most of the time I'm the gm of almost all of my roleplays) but lay any ideas ypu have on me! I'm pretty open to anything and I love it when partners contribute their own ideas and it becomes more than just a simple story~ I'm unsure how they'd meet Tsuna ans his friends. Did you have any ideas for this?

I finished up Nova's sheet. It's really shprt and boring because my brain quit. I'll try to make a map of the campus when I can.
