Well then, it seems like we should discuss how our characters know each other, if at all. You most likely all know Lawrence, due to his high popularity, and having such great marks.

It seems like I would be friends with Andrea, due to her high marks and work ethic.

Lawrence probably doesn't know Nero or Jason.

Hello everyone.

Well, so far every character is a student, so you'd all know Fiona. She teaches Psych.

Yes, yes. "Cause Seven ate Nine." Never heard that joke before.

Well, since my character has been a detective for two years, we could make it so that one of his past cases involved Lawrence or Andrea. Or both.

For example, maybe the janitor was stealing from the student's lockers, and somehow Nero figured out that Lawrence's locker would be next. Nero informed Lawrence of this and they set a trap for him. For example, maybe they took out all his stuff and put in a bunch of paint packets set to explode when the locker was opened the wrong way.

For Andrea, we could have something like, somebody stole something from her and she hired me to figure out what happened. We can always switch these around. If you like the general concept, but you don't like the examples I chose I can always make something else up. If not, I could always be someone's lab partner or something. I would be completely fine with not knowing either of you, I just figured I should include some ideas on how we might know each other before we decide we don't.

Nero has a crush on Jason Reinhardt, but I would like to wait for Tails Doll's post before I say anything on how well they know each other.

Since I did not think write about Nero's grades, could I have it so he does very well on test's, but he rushes through his homework and as a result it is sloppy and has a lot of mistakes.

I think it would be a good story point if I was hired to look for Lawrence, but if you two don't like the idea I am fine without it.

I have a question that is completely unrelated to the RP. What is EVO?

Look for him? I don't think that's very relevant yet.

Also, sure, Lawrence could have gone through with that.

Well, I would agree that Lawrence and Andrea would likely know each other if not be friends. As for the private investigation angle on Nero, Andrea might use him to solve a minor problem like someone stealing something, say like a particular book she liked.

I, for one, welcome our new Basketball Z overlords. All hail The Generation of Miracles! (Aomine is the best though)

Yeah, it's not relevant at the moment at all. Sorry. I posted here in the discussion board before I read your post in the story thread so I assumed that because your profile said you were wanted by the police, that you would start the game in hiding. That was foolish of me.

In the sign up page it said we gained our Persona and the ability to interact with the Dark World shortly after the person we were close to was killed. My friend died two months ago, so am I already aware that the Dark World exists and that I have a Persona, even if I don't know what they are? I don't mind either way, I just figured my character would already know that much, and I wasn't sure if you were okay with that.

I have one final question, is there any particular place the victims bodies were found, or should I just make up a spot and say my friends body was found there. I want to start my character either at, near, or on his way to where his friends body was found so I figured I should ask.

Yes, your Persona is received on the same night that the person you know is murdered. So the night AFTER they are killed, you start going into this other world. So yeah, in your case, your character would have been going into the other world for a while now. Shaner's character hasn't gone through it yet, as a counterexample.

The state of the bodies is one most curious. They are seemingly quite healthy- no visible injuries or signs of a struggle, the environment is not at all disturbed, the few times that they've done an autopsy, there have been no significant toxins or other agents in the body. Looking at them, they seem perfectly healthy, except for the fact that they're stone dead.

The bodies are left lying face up, arms folded over their chest, eyes closed. Often, they are in bed. On the rare occasion that there has been a double homicide, both people are in the same room, in the same state. No one has ever been in the same room as a victim as they were killed and survived. Location, however, is not otherwise exceptional.

EDIT: Oh, and Shaner? Your Let Me Google That For You is completely useless. The correct answer isn't even the first link.

EVO is the largest fighting game tournament in the world. It's held every year in Vegas. Thousands of players, lots of money on the line, a very entertaining watch.

Jason and Nero likley know each other. Jason's a punk who likes to prank people and often gets into trouble, and Nero probably wouldn't put Jason's antics under him. Of course, he isn't aware of any crush, if anything, Jason thinks Nero hates his guts. Lawrence and Andrea probably wouldn't associate with Jason, if they knew him. And most students know Fiona, and Jason has her class anyways.

Actually the Let Me Google That For You answered my question pretty well. The first link that is not an ad say's EVO Championship series and underneath it say's evo.shoryuken.com/. One street fighter reference plus the word championship series adds up to fighting game tournament for me.

I like the way Nero's relationship with everyone is set up and I am looking forward to making a great story with you all.
