The game is getting pretty huge, and it's plot-heavy to boot. There's plenty of opportunity to meet other characters in the event or mingle logs, but what about the rest of the time? Surely there are characters who trip over each other once a week just because they visit the same grocery store, or characters who haunt the same places because they have the same hobbies. So, here are some questions to help you sort out what we're all up to when there aren't any giant mythical beings attempting to stomp the city flat, and how our characters might be attracting one another's attention from day to day. It may be that some of us need only a little push to fall into each other's fictional pretendy funtime arms.

1) Notable physical features: (Is there anything about your character's appearance that is likely to draw attention? Weird hair? Sword bigger than they are? Constantly wearing armor? Conga line of Pokemon following them down the street?)

2) Age: (Child? Grownup? Teenager? Ageless being with startlingly young features?)

3) What are some of their most common emotional effects?: (Do they leave trails of flowers in their wake everywhere they go, or are they prone to causing small thunderstorms in public?)

4) Where they live, and what their home is like: (Are they in the apartments in the standard residential area? Have they found a shifty hidey-hole for themselves in the slums, or have they moved into another neighborhood to live amongst the rich people? Who are their roommates?)

5) What they do during an average day in Verens: (Stay home, do chores, read, meet up with people, have a lot of feelings okaaaaaay, so on.)

6) Their general sense of fashion: (What they tend to wear when they're not wearing their usual canon getups.)

7) Hobbies: (Does your character like to draw? If so, maybe they cross paths with this other person who likes to draw in one of the local art stores. If they are a fighter, maybe other characters have seen them around the training grounds.)

8) Jobs: (Are they a clerk in a shop other characters might have reason to visit? Are they part of the waitstaff in a restaurant other characters might frequent? Do they deliver all over town, and meet up with several store owners?)

9) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?:

10) How long have they been in Empatheias? How has their time here impacted them?: (Do they hate it or want to stay? Are they invested in whatever's going on around them, or do they try not to get involved? How do they interact with the new folks?)

11) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?:

12) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the amulets?: (Are they articulate over the amulets, but hesitant and shy in person? Do they hate the amulets and avoid using them? Do they prefer image, voice, or text?)

13) Is Empatheias a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?:

14) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?:

15) Do you have any goals for your character? Are there any hobbies you want them to discover or abilities you want them to learn?:

16) Anything else you want to note?:

1) Notable physical features: Well he has a weird set of spikes in his hair, but nothing as impressive as his great great grandson. He will always be wearing this armband, even over a coat. His eyes dart about when he isn't sure of himself or nervous.

2) Age: 23

3) What are some of their most common emotional effects?: Whenever he thinks about Asougi, a warm breeze blows. Rain clouds follow him when he's down and when he's happy cherry blossoms appear.

4) Where they live, and what their home is like: It's a two-story home with a basement and he currently shares it with Sherlock, Asougi and their cat Wagahai. He's staying upstairs with Asougi right now, where his law office is also set up like back home. Downstairs is Sherlock study area, his room and the kitchen. They're in a pretty peaceful neighborhood and usually uh...usually the cause of public disturbance (thanks Sherlock). The place is pretty messy, neither Sherlock or Ryuunosuke are very good at keeping things tidy and there are lot of interesting contraptions in Sherlock study area. There also piles of books and other weird trinkets both Sherlock and Ryuunosuke have picked up, or in Ryuunosuke's case, junk he bought.

5) What they do during an average day in Verens: Making sure his roommates are okay, working at home, visiting friends, trying to help around town, attempt to study law and learn meaningless facts along the way (he has bad study habits). He likes visiting the park a lot since it reminds him of Japan.

6) Their general sense of fashion: Casual and nothing that really makes him stand out (no monocle and without the top hat, he looks bad in one). On very rare occasions, he will wear a yukata that he got made here at some point.

7) Hobbies: Japanese tongue twisters, speech debate, shopping, oogling over food.

8) Jobs: Practicing law, but he'll do some odd and end jobs on the task board once in a while.

9) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?: Not at the moment. The sword he usually carries with him is currently with Asougi. Anyone who asks about it in the past will learn that he does not know any swordsmanship. He's not a fighter, period.

10) How long have they been in Empatheias? How has their time here impacted them?: Three months right now. He's invested about things happening around him, but tries to keep himself out of trouble at the same time. He's not the type who seeks conflicts. It certainly open his mind to a lot of things, but at the same time made him extremely homesick because this is such a drastic change. He only recently left Japan for the first time to go to a foreign country. It's a bit overwhelming for him.

11) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?: Various restaurants, pawn shops and the park.

12) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the amulets?: The same way he does in person, shy, a mess with his words and letting his thoughts leak. He speaks with more clarity with those he knows well though.

13) Is Empatheias a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?: Upgrade! It's like Britain but with more modern things!

14) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?: He prides himself in making observations, mostly things that would be consider insignificant to others. He does well under pressure. He has an amazing talent of losing things. He lost his student badge three times.

15) Do you have any goals for your character? Are there any hobbies you want them to discover or abilities you want them to learn?:
-Learn how to sword fight
-Make friends and gain confidence in himself.
-Learn about Dunamis and gain a skill from practicing it. I haven't decided what it be yet.
-Play out a trial!
-Along with trial, investigations! I want to play out a joint reasoning at some point.
-Wagahai is going to have kittens and the bakerstreet family cannot hold all the kittens.

16) Anything else you want to note?: Nothing else for now.
