Second might make more sense, given she's student council and all.

Not sure when they select candidates.

Yeah, that's a good point.

Is this still open? I'd like to participate if so.

(How long has it been since I posted on this site? ...Oh Jesus Chr-)

@CondorTalon: It's still open.

Name: Ieiri Shuusuke
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance: "Stop talking in that ugly shade of brown, please."
Personality: Shuusuke is introverted and just a bit cynical. Shuusuke finds social interaction tiring, so he tries to prioritize quality over quantity. However, his early life was spent in the company of a bunch of "acquaintances" that didn't click with him. Because of this, he developed a cynical attitude when it came to interacting with people. He longs for good, deep interactions with someone; interactions that don't just boil down to small talk. Shuusuke is proficient in academics, especially in mathematics and hard sciences. Shuusuke is logical and calculating, always thinking through situations in terms of risk vs. reward. This way of thinking may alienate some people, especially those who value emotions over pragmatics, but Shuusuke couldn't care less. Shuusuke doesn't deal well with overly emotional people, anyway. Shuusuke is also a failed artist... in that he has a creative mind, but no outlet to realize this creativity. He can't draw, paint, or sculpt, and any music he tries to make always ends up scrapped within the day. Shuusuke has a nice singing voice, and enjoys singing, but doesn't think he can actually get anywhere with it.
Skills: Shuusuke is exceptional at calculation, pattern recognition, and logical problem solving. Due to a lifetime of being embroiled with numbers, functions, and calculations, Shuusuke can easily use his experiences to easily work his way through any problems he comes across. Despite his lack of athleticism, Shuusuke has good hand-eye coordination from a life of playing video games, especially rhythm games.
Equipment: His smartphone, his house keys, his wallet (containing ID, a debit card, a credit card, a few arcade cards, and an eAmuse card), and school supplies in his backpack.
Soul Arts: Prisma Falsum - Shuusuke can manipulate light on the visible spectrum, creating visual illusions. Shuusuke can use this ability to bend light around himself to make himself invisible, though he can only do this for short periods of time right now. As this ability develops, he will be able to become invisible for longer, create powerful flashes of light to disorient enemies, and even manipulate light outside the visible spectrum.
Brief Backstory: When Shuusuke was seven years old, he was diagnosed with sound-color synesthesia, which means that he sees faint colorful shapes whenever he hears sounds. Other than that, Shuusuke's childhood was nothing unusual. His parents worked middle-class jobs, and so Shuusuke lived a middle-class life. Shuusuke is an only child, and so he had to spend his time doing solitary activities, leading to his love of video games. His parents noticed his interest in math and science, and actively encouraged it, buying him books of brainteasers, logic puzzles and number puzzles. At elementary school, Shuusuke kept to himself. He had quite a few acquaintances, but none of them were people he'd truly call "friends".

This has not really changed in high school. Shuusuke continues to keep to himself, though he's not opposed to interaction. In fact, he wants nothing more than to be able to interact more make friends, but since he gets overwhelmed easily whenever it happens, he has to spent time away from others just to recuperate.

Shuusuke downloaded Strange Gospel on a whim, just to see what the fuss was about. He didn't buy into the rumors, and when he saw the prediction of his future, he was able to convince himself that it was a huge coincidence. As soon as the creepy rumors surfaced about the app and its new update, he deleted it. He wasn't getting any use out of it anyway.

Accepted.

@Crimmy@banjoanjo: Uh... Just got the time to read through every different scene just now. Um...

Japanese archery clubs aren't focused on any tournament results in the least . It's treated as more an art club than a sports club, and they are inherently different from archery clubs in the West because of how formalized the 'ritual' of the shot is.

That aside, it's also one of the most popular electives in the nation afaik, and considering that tournament results are a talking point in your posts when it's less about hitting a bullseye and more about the process in which the bow is drawn, raised, and fired, I... Am not entirely sure why they wouldn't have funding on par with other popular clubs. Results wouldn't impact the funding of a club that is more cultural in nature, even if it is seeing low success in competitions (which themselves are treated like formalized practice than anything else).

I'm also fairly certain Western archery clubs wouldn't exist in this context because they aren't prevalent enough in the nation to give rise to any formal competition.

Just my two cents here. It's been bugging me for a bit now, but yeah.

Never knew that, huh. Gonna have to change it up then.

Hm, there's nothing stopping the school administration from just wanting to reduce the budgets of cultural clubs to promote more sporty ones is there?

I feel like that's a reasonable fix.

Aight, I'll fix my posts too. Thanks for letting us know.

Quick reminder that this weekend is plot time!

Be ready for things to actually happen! Sorry if it's seemed a little slow so far. ^^;

@PKMNB0Y@CondorTalon@Nerevarine@Crimmy@banjoanjo@Mercurial@TheFake@RolePlayerRoxas

I forgot to put the mention in my post, so here it is now. ^^;

Not gonna lie, the blue elevator is seriously P3 vibes.

You are not the first person to tell me that at all. ^^;

Like immediately after it was posted someone else told me that too.

Are you sure you haven't played Persona? =D

I genuinely haven't.

I have a rom of the PSP version of Persona 3 installed, but I haven't played it yet since I want to use my PS4 controller and I don't know how to hook that to my PC right now. ^^;

... Oh wow thanks! ^_^

... Oh wow thanks! ^_^

Yeah, basically install that, follow some of the instructions to get things working, and it'll be plug and play everyday.

Alright awesome!
