MERRY TEST DRIVE AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR
TEST DRIVE MEME
Unsure of who to send to Hinoto-Ri? Want to have written samples for your application or just do a little bit of testing out? This is the meme for you!▶ Pick a prompt or start your own!
▶ Tag others!
▶ Join the game!
▶ If you need Persona help, or have a question about the game itself, there's a section below with fellow players and mods who will be happy to aid you!
▼ A city like no other...
Ahh Hinoto-Ri. City of lights, questionable Wards, the 13th Hour and Personas. A city that requires your aid in saving it, but sometimes in the strangest of ways...▼ SCENARIO 1: A note to remember
Japanese school may be rather different for you, but you've been adjusting! However, something unexpected gets dropped desk (or locker) today.
Hmmm. This might be, well it would depend what type of person you are, actually. But the question is, how do you react? And most importantly, who do you accuse?
▼ SCENARIO 2: Teenbeat Magazine!
Today, you're browsing through the recently received news when you see the following message pop up on the screen:LIKE OMG we've got the sexiest of the Visitors just for u!!! THE RESULTS ARE IN AND---
Naturally, upon scrolling down, you see a picture of yourself in nothing but your swimwear. And almost immediately, it seems there are people on the street beginning to glance in your direction...
▼ SCENARIO 3: Dolphins in the sky with diamonds
You've heard the rumors, but never seen them before.
Hinoto-Ri's fabled flying dolphins: are they friend or foe? Do you want to try riding one? Or will you just let the majestic creatures continue past undaunted? Whatever happens, be prepared for your life to be changed forever!!!
▼ SCENARIO 4: What do all these buttons do?!
They told you about Q's . Truth be told, you didn't expect him to ask you for this, but he needs a "Now do be careful. I've installed all sorts of weapons inside the old girl. If you could bring it back in one piece?"
No problem, you think, before you realize you have no idea what all these buttons do. Now what?
...Wait.
...Do you even have a driving license......?
▼ SCENARIO 5: A Night in Hinoto-Ri
The 13th hour. Although technically the 25th hour of each day, it is the time when the world seems to change - the entire city turns a shade of dark red, demons emerge from the shadows, buildings shift and dangers lurk in every corner.But it's your job to make this safer. Just be careful of what you run into --
...Dance on, you crazy horse man.
▼ SCENARIO 6: Arrival
It's getting colder with each passing day. The nights are getting longer, which the demons seem to like, but it makes the city that more dangerous. Of course you wouldn't exactly know that because you just got here.Maybe if you can find someone who knows exactly what is happening, you'll be able to confirm that it wasn't just a dream. Remember, the man you talked with (butterfly-mask guy?) said you were here as a Special Guest. If this is the city you're supposed to save, maybe he should have given you a map or something. Time to start exploring on your own...

In regards to Homestuck, is there a 'limit' to which characters are appable and which aren't? I know some games allow, for example, the eight human kids and the twelve main trolls, but not the ancestor trolls or the pre-scratch trolls like Meenah and co. because they don't have enough concrete canon to support them. And then there's lots of other obscure characters.
The reason why I'm asking is because I'm considering apping Bro Strider, but a lot of his character would be based on hearsay (canon mentions of him), hypothesis based on his canon actions and also by looking at his alternate universe self, Dirk Strider (who is basically a younger version of him who grew up in different circumstances).
I think it'd be good to have a bit of reference on this for anyone hoping to app a Homestuck character to this game, actually. If it's already mentioned somewhere and I missed it, I apologize for that.
no subject
The mods got together to talk about this, and we've agreed that Bro is definitely a distinct enough character from Dirk within the context of Homestuck's story that he would be appable as his own character. Considering his relatively minor role in the narrative, we would expect his background and personality sections to be mostly supported by headcanon, which is fine as long as it doesn't directly conflict with actual canon and is extensive enough to fit our usual standards for applications.
In a more general sense, a similar ruling would apply to other minor characters in Homestuck as well. We've actually had characters in the game before that didn't have much supporting canon information that were essentially accepted into the game as a canon OC, which we do allow according to our rules. So short version: yes, Bro is appable! Thanks for the question and your interest. :)

I think I have a good idea for what Harry's Persona is going to be (I've decided on Actaeon from Greek mythology), now I'm drawing a blank on which Arcana to stick it under (i.e. the one that fits Harry best)
- Fool? Inexperience, chaos and creativity all seem like things that might apply...
- Magician? He is a wizard, after all, and seems to have a talent for the Indiana Jones method (that counts as 'creative action', right? ;) ) and a willingness to take risks.
- Chariot? Triumph over adversity? Overcoming life's obstacles? Considering all the crap he's had to put up with...
- Fortune? He's definitely fate's plaything...
- Strength? He got sorted into Gryffindor for a reason, and 'the power of love' would definitely be something that applies here
What do you all think? A lot of Arcana have a few things that might apply, so it's hard to pick just one.
no subject
I think for late canon Harry I probably like Strength the best since, as you've said, the card itself embodies a lot of the qualities associated with House Gryffindor. I'd go with Fool if you're playing super early Harry before he enrolls at school, Magician leading up to the end of the Tri-Wizard Tournament, and Chariot for that point up through Harry starting to actively aid the Order of the Phoenix. Just my two cents on the matter, but hopefully it helps a little for your potential application.

Thanks!

As for Arcana, I'm considering:
Any thoughts? I'm leaning towards Judgment, Death, or Strength, in reference to different parts of Cap's story-- death and rebirth, strength of character over physical strength, drive to do good in the world, etc. But I'm open to suggestion and interpretation! My general take on her character is that it's the same universe, just with everyone's gender changed-- so "Bettie" Barnes, Toni Stark, Brooke Banner, Nikita Romanov, etc. I've been writing her character for a while now and am planning to write up a whole backstory summary at some point but just wanted to put my thoughts up here first! :)
