[OOC] Stuck in a Dating Sim! (OoC)

[Major Ursa]

Welcome to Stuck in a Dating Sim, the reboot of Trapped in a Dating Sim from the old guild!

---

Two people picked up the newest dating sim, with the intentions of…well…play it! Of course, as the title suggests, they find themselves in the dating sim after falling asleep…mostly from an all-day all-nighter of game playing, and replaying…and wake up inside the game’s actual world, at the start of the game. Initially, they’re just confused as to why they’re waking up in an unfamiliar place, but then recognition dawns. Oh boy.

Are they excited? Scared? Did they play the game to completion before getting stuck here? Did they read a game guide? How will their off-script reactions and responses change the character’s reactions and responses? How will it change the world? Will they regain their lost magic? Will they get the girl or guy? Or, will an in game character steal all of this away while they're vulnerable? This is their, and their many love interest’s, story.

Game Start

Welcome to the Magically-Magical Academy of Magic! M-MAM, for short!

...

Gender?
Male | Female

...

Name?
______

...

(Adoptive) Family Name?
Albescu – family connections with the old Romanian vampire, werewolf, ghoul, and minor demon clans…medium starting learning bonus with blood, and darkness magic. Adoptive brother is a master of both, as well as your long time rival.
Banes – family connections with the old fae races…medium starting learning bonus with nature, ground and fae magic. Adoptive older sister is fae blooded, as well as a popular assistant teacher in the academy...hate’s the mains guts for not only stealing birth right, but for also burning down a sacred tree for the lols in their first year.
Carver – family connections with the oldest coven of witches…medium starting learning bonus in all aspects of magic, save for fire magic. Adoptive sisters are twins, first years at the academy, gifted with a rare natural talents in both fire and sun magic. Neutral to the main, but will be very slow to warm to anybody in general…

...
...
...

The academy houses students from many magical races, all students in the child to adult age, lesser talents to greater talents. The main is possibly the most powerful magic user to attend the academy, and potentially the most powerful magic user in the world's future, due to having the ability to unlimitedly learn and master all elements and classes of magic...race specific magic, one of a kind magic, all of it. Of course, they became a mega snob with a superiority complex, due to this. Bullying and mistreating other students, staking a magical claim on other people's objects...it doesn't help that they were adopted into a powerful magical nobility's family, due to this potential. No student, no teacher, not even the headmaster could really raise even just a (middle) finger against them.

Of course, their luck just about ran out. Waking up one fine, sunny morning...they found...their magic…sucks! They can't even fluff up their pillow with air magic, or clear the dirty floor with ground magic, or heat up half a cup of water with fire magic...what's going on?! Going to the headmaster to be checked for curses, and maybe look for general answers...

"Gramps, what's going on with my magic?! What curse is this, exactly?!"

The man merely chuckled, before magically hovering his wheelie chair to face the large window, "...heh heh heh...fuahahahahahahahahah~!"

"W-w-what? WHAT?!"

"This is no curse, a mere curse can be undone with strong enough counter magics! This...this is somebody's wish. From the bottom of someone's heart, they wished for this horrible person's magic to become almost nothing in power and control...!"

"Why you--! Grr...! I-isn't this basically a curse? Just fix this already!"

"Wish magic, as you must know, much of it is still unknown to humanity...and a great wish like this, it cannot be undone without the wisher's mind being changed about it. And...still...even if I could undo this...why would I?" The headmaster chuckled darkly at the desperation in the face of the once powerful and great student.

"I'm from a powerful family! My father will hear about this!"

"And what would he do...? I hear his actual blood children have much magical talents, it'd be easier to train them to magical mastery than try and undo your predicament." The man smiled, tapping his chin thoughtfully, before continuing, "Hah...alas, I will give you some aid, advice, push you in the right direction...befriend all of the possible students.
Relearn what you once knew, but in a different or unorthodox style, as you still have magic running through your veins. Make pacts with the powerful magical beings and contracts with familiars, the ones you previously rejected. If you befriend everyone, you may have a chance of befriending and changing the mind of the wisher, if they aren't graduated or from outside of the academy. The djinn, fairy, and the others were quite offended by you rejecting their costless pacts...but with some grovelling, one may take pity and give you a conditional pact. At this point, though...you may have to buy a familiar, as the powerful ones who've been slighted will never offer their contract a second time, unless you really work towards their affections. I wish you luck, as you only have one year...remember? You taking this last year would be a favour to this '$#!t-hole of a dump' academy, a formality...? After this year, no one would be able to drag you back in here, kicking and screaming...right?"

It was then...that the protagonist fainted. Like a b!tc#.

Waking up in their room, is where this story starts...

[Major Ursa]

Claiming the role of fiancé. The character will actual be a guide/spoilers-for-pay/easter-egg/break-the-fourth-wall character at times...

Also, feel free to pitch me potential family names for the mains, as well as the bonuses and such related to them.

[ReaptheMusic]

I'll pop a CS for a Love Interest in here later. I have a character I can recycle that would be super fun for this rp.... ehehehe...

[Owlish Storyteller]

Could I take the Banes older adopted sister spot, please?

[Major Ursa]

Sure...so long as one of the mains chooses the last name Banes. If they don't, you'll just be the fae-blooded, assistant teacher.

[Kuroneko]

Name: Charlotte von Darkmoor
Sex: Female
Age: 15
Character Archetype: Kuudere Bookworm
Race/Subspecies: Human/Witch

Appearance:


Personality: Charlotte is a rather quiet girl who is usually seen reading. She rarely shows emotion. She has a warm side but she buries it beneath a cold and business like exterior.

Bio: Charlotte was born into a long family line of powerful magic users. It was also a family of traditions, many of which would seem incomprehensible to outsiders. The traditions had a profound impact on Charlotte's childhood and early adolescence and resulted in her closed off personality. (Sorry it's short but that's really all I can get into without touching on plot spoilers)

Relations:
Family:
Father - Frederick von Darkmoor
Mother - Louise Von Darkmoor
Brothers - Many, all deceased
Sisters - Many, all deceased
Friends: None
Relationship to Main: Charlotte has been mistreated by the Main in the past but never seemed to show much reaction to it. She would simply shrug it off with her usual coldness.

Magic: Water and Wind

Familiar: An Ant Queen
Pact: Charlotte has made a pact with a greater water spirit so long as the pact is kept and she offers a sack of uncooked, unsalted tree nuts to the greater water spirit every other weekend, she can breathe underwater at will.

Hobbies: Reading
Favorite Colour: White
Favorite Food: Dried persimmons
Favorite Drink: Honeyed Mead (Despite being underage. Drunk is actually when she opens up the easiest)
Favorite Animal: Owl

Where they are often found in the academy: Library
Where they are often found in the nearby town: The Bookstore and occasionally the Tavern/Inn

Secrets: PMed to GM

Plot Twists to be Implemented Later on: PMed to GM

[Owlish Storyteller]

Ooh, could I make two CS and you can choose which one would fit most depending on the Main creation and your plots, please? e_e

[Lilacs]

For the hero chars, do you want the magic description, archetype, relations and such?

And I'm taking the Albescu family, FYI

[Major Ursa]

@Owlish Storyteller
Sure...any specific reservations not made originally in the interest check will be kept for the next 24 hours. You'll also be depending on the outcomes of the main's choice.

[UnendingEmpire]

Back again; saw the title and went "This is an RP I wanna try and keep up with." lol

And I see the CS grew!? I guess Jakkie - were she to return (she might) - would have a field day with what I can expect with new options to be vampires and whatnot ^_^
I'll get started on a CS, maybe a Jakkie reboot and maybe not. The love of sandwiches shall remain, though.

EDIT: It's not Jakkie. It's just somebody Jakkie wishes she could be.

[Soranea]

I'll wait a little with my CS to see which genders others pick. I was originally planning to play as a female love interest, but if it turns out that there are more girls than guys, I'm more than willing to play a lad. ^^
In case I'll play as a male love interest - may I please reserve the librarian spot? I was thinking of setting up a gentelman there. I hope it's ok if I leave things open a little on my end, because I'd really like to see male to female ratio nicely balanced!

[Major Ursa]

You don't even need to fill out the CS. Just answer the stuffs from the Game Start, add a (human) picture, maybe a bio and other stuff if you're interested, and that's it.

The other main may also take the Albescu name. If they do, you'll both be blood siblings, both adopted into the family.

Soranea has officially reserved librarian spot for the next 24 hours.

I'm gonna have a gender shifting fiance character, as well as the headmaster...so...
*shrugs*

[Kuroneko]

*cough*

Anyone ever played anything in this genre? I don't mean rps but actual games.

[Major Ursa]

Dating sims? Yes, for boys and girls...
First were Harvest Moon GBA, and Harvest Moon Cute GBA...
*-* <( . . . why? )

[Kuroneko]

Just curious. I've only played a few ones. Katawa Shoujo, which was a good "baby's first" for me then Clannad, which was complicated as hell compared to KS and Wanko to Kurasou, with all the kawaii doggy-girls.

[Kuroneko]

Kuroneko said
kawaii doggy-girls.

A picture says a thousand words:

[Owlish Storyteller]

I think I'll go with a male harpy, actually, I found a pretty nice picture.

[Major Ursa]

I have the english translated Tokimeki memorial girl's side 1 & 2 on my DS...
*shifty eyes*

[Kuroneko]

Welp bedtime for me. I'll see if my CS was up to snuff when I wake up.

[UnendingEmpire]

Just gonna put this here...not foreshadowing or anything. Really.


Also, permission to create two CSes? (wanted to last time but showed up late, iirc)
