cobbled together from various other times I talked about the series!
the first volume's about this kid named Izumi who is mistaken for another Izumi (who I will now call Other Izumi). Other Izumi is the number one at a ~club~ that caters to very...rich...and usually high-profile men. The dude that mistook Izumi for Other Izumi is the owner's close friend and then they had sex before he realized that he just deflowered some homophobic kid. ...They have antics and Izumi is forever and ever tsundere about admitting he is all raburabu towards this dude.
IN VOLUME TWO you meet Naoya. ...Desite the fact that he isn't in v1 at all, he and the afore-mentioned owner of the afore-mentioned club are the closest to "main characters" Love Mode will ever get. NAOYA'S LIFE SUCKS. A LOT.
He was part of a very happy family until everyone except for him is killed in a car accident on his birthday when he was 13 and no one wanted to take him in. Though one of his dad's former colleagues took legal guardianship of him, Naoya was on his own. Sometime around when he was sixteenish, he was leaving the afore-mentioned dad's former colleague's building after said colleague's wife told him they didn't want to be his guardians anymore (even if they hadn't done much of anything). He met Aoe-san (THE OWNER OF AFORE-MENTIONED CLUB) when Aoe's ex-girlfriend tried to brain Aoe with a flowerpot and hit Naoya instead since she lived in the same building as colleague dude.
Said flowerpot was plastic and the soil inside was dry so Naoya just got a bad bump on his head and was released from the hospital that day. When he got back to the apartment he was renting though, he found it in flames--with everything he owned, what little there was, inside it. Including his parents' and brother's mortuary tablets. Naoya freaked out, but really didn't know what he could do since he couldn't afford a new place and there was nowhere for him to go... So Aoe offered Naoya a spot on his couch; Naoya accepted for lack of better options.
...And then comes the adventures of Naoya and Aoe, with appearances from Izumi and Aoe's friend and Aoe's brother and it's really sweet and sad and I love it a lot. Naoya works through a ton of problems in the series as life keeps fucking things up every time he thinks he's happy.
THIS GORGEOUS FILM! If you like fashion or anything period related, then you should get up on it. It really manages to make her life more relevant to this generation. Also, Sofia Coppola.
AOE-SAN AND RECCA are the ones I want most for my two. Otherwiseee... At the moment, I am pretty happy being super selfish and just hoping for characters that would affect my characters |Da
Who are Vincent's top 5 favourite and top 5 least favourite people in Fred that aren't castmates?
And that's really . . . Uh!! Obsidian, Yuri, Ariel, Beatrice, and Shiki? I think that's about right, and I enjoy him having so many girls. Way to be, Vincent.
Least favorite would be . . . Yellow, Mukuro, and no one else really gets under his skin. They may be a nuisance, but that's kind of fun in it's own way!
Kurei! +Cubia, +Goku, +Alice... He's pissed off at Kazu and Percy right now, and doesn't really socialize with others. -Kaworu, -Vincent...I guess that's it. He...doesn't really socialize that much OTL
Naoya! +KK, +Asch, +Allen, +Mau, +Mal (+REST OF SAPPHIRE) aaand he doesn't dislike people.
Is there anything about your characters that you have a hard time showing because this is a text-based play? like...physical quirks or attributes or speach patterns or something...? (FOR EXAMPLE NAOTO'S SCAR MAYBE??)
Thankfully, I colored some of Vincent's icons, so I can get the eye difference across . . . Vince has a lot of body language that I don't play around with too much, but it would be a nuisance to keep throwing it in. It's generally loose, but he's definitely like water, so it keeps changing. Also, his sleeping habits are a thing . . .
Naoto's scar is a thing! But she keeps it pretty covered up, so it's not too large. I did toss it about once in Lion's game as that was the only time she had to loosen her shirt, because she needed to use the ribbon she had as a bow, and it didn't catch too many eyes. (It would help if I had a better icon of it, too. Icons are my enemy. o9) Also, text-based . . . It doesn't leave a lot of room for her quiet moments. She really doesn't say much, so her words are definitely concentrated. I keep her speech really blunt, and people seem to do alright with it, thankfully, but it's hard to give that quiet enough presence.
Subtle, or not too subtle, ways that your characters have changed from their canon selves?
Kurei is a lot more willing to show positive emotions and a lot less willing to go straight to KILL when someone annoys him. He's...softer, here, especially with his team. ...It's not really a change from his "canon self" since I took a lot of the characterization he started with from the chapter at the end when his problems were resolved as well as some from the part in the middle of canon when he thought he didn't have to fight anymore. It's just that because he's missing all the terrible buildup that made him who he ended up being for most of canon, the woobie that was buried deep inside is a lot more visible on the outside in canon.
Naoya is actually a lot derpier around everyone here than I thought he'd be. In canon, with most people, he's pretty :| and just really .___.;;;; when he's with the Aoe brothers. But I started him off with a memory of when he was with Kiichi, and he was REALLY DERPY in that and that influenced him a lot. His less-happy memories are helping him slowly become more sure of himself, as are the people he talks to here, but...yeah. A lot of the memories he's gotten back, if he isn't with the Aoe brothers, it's been with Wataru and he's noticed that he's a lot more...reserved with Wataru. It's mostly making him wonder if he's like that usually or if he's more often like the way he is with the Aoe brothers OTL.
