[OOC] Synchronization Overdrive: A school-based supernatural RP with a twist

[SeaFoamDaisies]

All characters who are not paired at the start of the RP and are going to be paired RNG will have their pairings announced IC.

@VitaVitaAR

So can I still post about my unpaired character ?

[VitaVitaAR]

You can, yes.

[Takashi]

I'll be getting a post up later today.

[Green Rhapsody]

Receiver:

• Name: Michi Masayuki
• Age: 15
• Gender: Female
• Appearance:
  Hider

  
• Personality: A very grounded and mature young woman who tends to take too much responsibility on her shoulders, especially when her brother is involved. She's a bit of a worry wart and tends to be overprotective of those she cares about. In fact, its hard for her to get that as a Reciever, she needs to rely on her tuner. She'd rather carry all the burden on herself and fight her own battles. She can't stand causing someone else trouble, while wanting help others with their problems. It's this attitude that kept her from being perfectly compatible with her twin, which is why the school found her a different tuner when she enrolled.
• Skills: Because of her desire to be strong enough to protect her brother, she's taken classes in both judo and kendo from an early age.
• Brief Backstory: The eldest of fraternal twins, she was genetically modified to be a Reciever. Her brother had went under the scientist radar until several months later when there was two fetuses instead of one. Time passed after the twins were born and to the surprise of scientists, the younger twin had shown signs of being a Tuner. Many theorized that growing in the same womb as a Reciever may have had some effect on the other twin. Whichever the case, there had been hope that they would form a powerful Reciever and Tuner pair. Unfortunately, the Michi's overprotectiveness proved detrimental to their growth. They were forced to find new partners, much to Michi's chagrin.
• Tuner: N/A

Tuner:

• Name: Naoki Masayuki
• Age: 15
• Gender: Male
• Appearance:
  Hider

  
• Personality: He is a rather spontaneous and airheaded boy who seems to only ever get serious about music. Being scatterbrained and spacey, its hard for him to concentrate hard. When people talk to him, occassionally words just go through one ear and out the other. He can only ever focus if he's listening to or playing music. Despite his ditzy nature, he's a good hearted boy who easily considers every person he meets as another new friend.
• Type: Ability
• Abilities: Sound Manipulation: The ability to control any sort of soundwaves. This can be done by amplifying or muffling a sound, turning the sound into something painful to the ears, or even creating a sort of sonic boom effect with the sound. With a better relationship with his partner, his control over sound can get more intricate and percise. For instance, in a room full of people, he can have such control that only certain people in that room can hear a certain sound.
• Skills: He is a pretty skilled musician, capable of playing the violin, piano/electric keyboard, and sing.
• Brief Backstory: From a young age, Naoki was always considered weaker than his sister. That and his sacchrine attitude made him the target of bullies. Often his sister would come running to his defense and it was one of these days that it was accidently discovered that her brother was a Tuner. His cries had been loud that day, far too loud. Loud enough for Michi to hear from the other side of the block and loud enough to hurt the ears of his bullies. When the scientist found out, they saw this as a good opportunity to make a powerful Reciever and Tuner pair. But, of course, things didn't turn out how they expected. Michi was too protective and Naoki would let her making growth for either twin impossible unless they were seperated.
  several years before they came to the academy, Naoki had discover a love for music. He found he could use his powers to make the music he made sound even better and that love grew more and more. He would take all the time to learn every instrument he could, but so far he's only learned how to play violin and piano. He hopes to learn guitar one day too.
• Receiver: N/A

Perfect, we'll sell t-shirts.

[Green Rhapsody]

After some discussion, @VitaVitaAR and @Grey Star decided to do some swaperoonies with their pair and my characters. So now, Rika and Michi are paired and Sakie and Naoki are paired.

[VitaVitaAR]

List edited to reflect this.

[Xeronoia]

Unless I've miscounted so far we've got 8 of 13 intro posts up?

[Major Ursa]

Sorry, blackout and then lack of wifi in house...so, assembly is just about clearing out after the end of the speech, right?

[Raineh Daze]

Yup. Some older students are hanging around near the door way. One's infiltrating. All perfectly normal. : D

[VitaVitaAR]

Yep, after Miki showed up to get the new students to the basement 4B to pair up.

[Major Ursa]

Where do the older students go on this first day back? Class to discuss required textbooks?

[VitaVitaAR]

Well, there's a few things they'll be doing. Dorms, for one(paired-up students share one), a quick refresher on their current Synch Ratio...

I'm not sure what will come first though. ^^;

@VitaVitaAR

How do Synch Ratios work anyways, or is that something to be explained IC?

[VitaVitaAR]

It's how in-Synch a Tuner and Receiver are.

Starting at zero and going to one-hundred. Zero is "no remotely positive relationship", one is "receiver desires to help Tuner" and grants the most basic level of the Tuner's abilities at their weakest stage. For weapon-type Tuners this is just the physical buffs at a low level, for example. One-hundred is full power.

As mentioned before, Synchronization Overdrive is a theoretical state of exceeding one hundred percent synchronization.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

So... It's quantifying the relationship in terms of a number. Wonder what criteria are necessary to determine that.

[VitaVitaAR]

Basically it's tied to "are the more powerful. If so, relationship has grown". Because that's... well, their power level does clearly show the state of their relationship.
