Oop, didn't think about that, Asuras. Alrighty, sorry, Hae, Loli girl is out, Asuras gets a character. :P

You're so generous. :p

[Sixsmith]

Loli girl is back in.

But, I'm really sorry you had to back out, Casterly. I hope you find better RPs more attuned to your work schedule! Gl!!

And, Pascale hasn't really interacted with anyone but pulling a possibly lethal prank on Rygar, so there's that. *shrug*

Isaac has made his first appearance: which opens up RP potential for anyone who wants further interaction

A general OOC question: Imagining that Isaac is the equivalent to Preyya, what product would he advertise?

Do it Kray :D

MAYBE I WILL

okay i actually did do it

Normal text is for interactions lasting a reasonable length.
Italics for interactions consisting of either one or two posts, or involvement in the same event, but no direct interaction.
Bold is for backstory interactions.

These are done more or less in the appearance that they first appeared in ths game, and thus, in what order they appeared on my web chart.
Grizel: Daiki
Alistair: Tirren, Arara, Addica, Kalimay, Sayuri, Morella, Daiki
Morella: Tarkus, Alistair, Tirren, Sayuri
Oliver: Casterly, Daiki
Tirren: Alistair, Morella, Kalimay
Casterly: Oliver
Arara: Alistair, Tirren, Orion
Orion: Reya, Arara
Daiki: Grizel, Oliver, Alistair
Rygar: Pascale
Addica: Kalimay, Alistair, Sayuri
Reya: Orion
Pascale: Rygar
Sayuri: Kalimay, Alistair, Addica, Morella
Tarkus: Morella
Isaac: None
Jack: Tirren, Reya, Kalimay
Kiora: None

Well, obviously Kiora and Isaac don't have any interactions yet, they just started in the last twenty four hours. Jack technically has only interacted with KK, but backstory events referenced in her opening post also provide minor links to Reya and Tirren as well. Rygar and Pascale are similarly a bit left out, because as of yet, they've only interacted with each other.
Now, applying commonalities isn't foolproof for multiple reasons, but based on my interpretation of the data, these seem to be the biggest possibilities (Note: Alistair isn't listed first out of ego, it's because he has the most links to work with. XD) Before I launch into the list, here's the "algorithm", for lack of a better word, that I'm using; The more common interactions characters have, the more they're likely to be grouped together. Normal text interactions are given the heaviest weight, italics the next, and bold the last (See above legend for the explanation of what's what.) That done, here is my analysis;

-Alistair, Addica, Sayuri, Kalimay: All have mutual interactions with each other, even though as of now, the link between Sayuri and Addica is one by association.
-Alistair, Arara, Sayuri, Kalimay: Alistair, Sayrui, and Kalimay have a high number of commonalities. Addica technically has higher commonalities than Arara, but Arara only has one normal text association, hence the reasoing behind this possibility.
-Grizel, Daiki, Oliver, Casterly: This one is one of the most logical to me. All four have relatively few commonalities, but both Oliver/Casterly and Grizel are linked by interactions with Daiki.

Those are the ones that formed logically from interactions present. The ones below are formed from interactions present in the game, and interactions that can be inferred due to backstory;

-Tirren, Morella, Tarkus, Jack: Tirren and Morella due to commonality, Morella provides the link between Tarkus and Tirren via commonality, and Jack is linked by backtory commonality with Tirren.

Now, obviously these don't cover everyone, nor do they account for Casterly's possible departure. Kiora and Isaak, notably, are left entirely in the cold, and Rygar/Pascale and Orion/Reya really don't have much commonality with anyone outside of those groups of two. Likewise this method doesn't really account for things like faunus prejudice or characterization, though those two are minimized because, well, who chooses to interact with whom is usually influenced by such.

And before you ask, yes. I was bored. Hence you got not only a list of who interacted with whom, but also my analysis of it. :P

Nike corollary with really conceited, narcissistic ads?

[ERode]

Ye gawds, Kray. That's a lot of work...

[Lucius Cypher]

Good work Krayzikk. This actually reminds me that I need to have Rygar interact with some more people.

[Casterlyrock]

i really dont wanna leave, but i feel i would just way people down who i am engaged with, you guys seem to post around the same time of each other making things flow nicely, where my rp time is done early in the morning with no one around, then i sleep in the after noon and work late night.

i just dont want to bring anyone elses rping down

Not all that much. I worked on and off for about two hours, hours that would otherwise have been spent doing nothing.

I decided to spare y'all the actual hand written web chart, because no one would have been able to read my hieroglyphics. XD

[Nekomancer]

I put together a list of who went to which schools, along with their ages, for easy reference.

Signal

---

Jack, 17,
Kalimay, 17
Morella, 18
Orion, 19
Reya, 18
Tarkus, 17
Tirren, 16

Lantern

---

Addica, 15

Unclear Which, but Schooled

---

Alistair, 17
Arara (Unnamed Private School), 16
Grizel, 17
Isaac (Unnamed Private Academy), 17
Oliver, 18
Sayuri (Unnamed School in Vacuo), 18

"Home schooled"

---

Casterly, 17
Daiki, 17
Pascale, 18
Rygar, 18

Unclear

---

Kiora, 17

[ERode]

You people and your lists...XD

[Demous]

sayuri went to an as of yet unnamed school in Vacuo

[Nekomancer]

Looking at it when it's all in a neat line up like that, I guess most of the students from Signal would have been in the same year.

[ERode]

Yep. Makes me wonder whether they should start working on planning any past relationships with each other.

[Krayzikk]

Well, actually, judging by that list, there were likely two graduating classes. Well, three counting Orion, because his bio states he graduated a year ago.

So there are three seventeen year olds, one sixteen year old, and two eighteen year olds. Sounds like there were likely two graduating classes. Either that or some people skipped ahead or stayed behind. XD

[LimeyPanda]

It should be noted that Orion is a year above the current year: those just graduated.

[Asura]

The empire loves their damn lists.

I demand two character slots! The Battle Tuba shall rise!

It's up to you, you can try sticking out for a bit longer to see if things work out, but you know your schedule the best. It'd be unfortunate if you felt you had to leave, but you're welcome to roleplay, so long as you show enthusiasm and interest. And even if it's a different time, if you check once a day or two days, it shouldn't be that bad. But I understand your position, and if you don't think the time difference would be good for the roleplay, then do what you think it's right. :( I'll shift Casterly to the background in case your timing works where you can come back, if so. :P

[Kaithas]

@Nekomancer: Unclear is the best way to go with it, because Kiora was technically homeschooled but not at home.

I love flashbacks so that'll be clear as things go on :P

also kraykray you incessant reaper of racist roly polies you didn't add the interaction with the random hallway

Don't make me get my thugs brah

Not necessarily. Based on Yang, Weiss, and Blake's ages at the start of the series (all 17), the freshman year at Beacon would usually be either 16-17 or 17-18. The teams they formed were supposed to last for 4 years, so I'd guess their education at Beacon supposed to last the same duration; taking them either from 16-20 or 17-21, either of which sounds reasonable. My main point is that if all the posted students are freshmen, then the outliers are Orion (who took a year off), Arara (who advanced a year early), Addica and Tirren (neither of whom have any special placement mentioned in their Bios). Based on the information from the show and the spread of ages, I think it'd make most sense and be easiest if the freshman year is 17-18.
