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

This popped into my head immediately on reading Olivier's reaction to Sora.

@Xeronoia

Or this:

Mirror, Fox, Key

@Turboshitter Yup. It's still going on.

Mirror, Fox, Key

Edit: Thinking on it, we have a very nicely diverse cast of characters here. Everyone more or less has their own reaction. Most RPs I have been in have a plethora of 'brave, kick ass' characters.

@Crimson Raven

Haha, well I'm just being honest with Telio. He is an artist who lived a comfortable life and has literally zero combat experience. Like, never even been in a scuffle as a kid. The scariest thing he's ever seen has probably been a growling dog, and even that would likely have been on a leash. Giant three-headed serpent monster appears out of nowhere? He's lucky I let him retain enough coordination not to trip over his feet and eat a mouth full of dirt.

@LeeRoy I'll have a post up tonight.

@TrixyTrix Don't rush. You gave us all fair warning that you were going away for a little bit, so that's all one can ask for. Did you enjoy your trip?

Posted as Keiji. Waiting for Trixy to come back from her trip before I post as Ryuuto.

Keiji Kojuro

Keiji set Momo down once she fell limp with disappointment. Apparently she believed that receivers used their ahoge as literal receivers, but Keiji could see an even more pertinent flaw in that hypothesis. "If receivers need ahoge as an antenna, then how do you explain all of those receivers with flat hair?" He motioned to the monitors with a nice supply of receivers, but woefully few ahoge. "Looks like we'll have to go back to the drawing board with the antenna mystery. But the good news is that since you didn't solve it, you won't be putting any scientists out of work." He chuckled and gave Momo a pat on the head as a consolation.

"Don't worry, we've got all year to test your theories. For now, though, this place is getting kinda chaotic. What do you say we get settled down in our dorm." He was sure that Momo would have trouble pushing her way through the crowd with everybody shuffling this way and that in search of their partners, but Keiji could easily act as a wedge against the smaller students, clearing a path for his partner. "By the way, you never told me what you did during your break. I hope if you went on any adventures without me you'll at least tell me about them."

It's REALLY hard to ascertain the actual capabilities of a video game character, especially with a wonky magic system like FFVII's. For example, with the right items and materia, Tifa can punch the Emerald Weapon to death all by her self at level 7:

For my next character, everyone should be able to contribute ideas that you'd like to see and I'll add it together in what might end up very silly. For example, a fire wielding midget who has a crippling fear of Baluga Whales.

@ImportantNobody

I want to see a character that wields twin bear-traps on chains as a weapon.

@Xeronoia Actually, most honorifics don't have an English counterpart. The common honorific "san" is comparable to Mr./Mrs./Miss, but those English counterparts have different connotations. In English, calling somebody "Mr." generally means that you are either strangers or that the person is of a higher status for you. The honorific "san" is just common courtesy in Japan. "Chan" and "kun" have no English counterparts other than giving somebody a nickname. "Sama" is often compared to "Lord," but is more versatile than the English counterpart; it is essentially used any time one would wish to express high levels of respect and does not necessarily imply nobility like the English "Lord/Lady." And finally the senpai-kouhai relationship does not even exist in the west as it does in Japan, so the words are pretty much without equivalents. One could say "upperclassman," but while this word describes the physical relationship, it implies none of the social connotations that come with the word "senpai."

So, since this takes place in Japan and the underlying culture implied by honorifics should presumably be present, my vote is for generally using them. Though, the Westerners in the school who have just learned the language may want to omit honorifics, or even use them incorrectly... but that's just a suggestion.
