Actually, I have a question about her precog.

Does it take into account every chaotic variable in the environment as well, when a 'fixed future' is read? For example, say that someone has decided to shoot, but their gun jams, so they throw their knife spontaneously instead. Would she also read that future? Or not? Does she have to be aware of the presence of a person or a threat in order to read its future? Or can she walk through a minefield blindfold, and not die?

And if her precognition works only based off 'intention', what if she fights someone who has no thoughts or no comprehensible thoughts? Can she read the intentions of a Nephilim? If she doesn't even recognize an object as a weapon, could she predict that it'd 'become' a weapon as well?

Yeah, might as well just move on for the time being. It's pretty normal for anime school girls to be late to everything, after all.

Sometimes, he had to wonder.

Being as cancerous as they were, maybe the human race should just roll over and die when the Nephilim came, instead of putting up a fight for their survival? There had to be a reason that the Nephilim from ten years ago only attacked populated areas, and, just like Chernobyl, nature eventually reclaimed those abandoned places for itself. It was a grim little thought that wormed its way into his mind, festering and awakening him in the darkest hours of night. It was a smidgen of doubt that was stamped away the moment Ikuu reminded himself of what he had lost. If these alien invaders didn’t want any sort of fight, they should have annihilated the human race immediately. By doing a sloppy job, they had only set the entire 7 billion humans that still survived against them.

And, if Kawaguchi-sensei’s predictions were accurate, soon, those Nephilim would be able to experience just how much humans have advanced over the years. Of course, it would have been nice if the vanguard of the human defense weren’t child soldiers who he’d be forcibly drafting into SEED, but…well, they’d have to make do with it, at least until the Doctor stopped fantasizing about magical loli panty shots and started making standardized magical weapons that any person could use.

He stifled a smile as he remembered the time when he discovered just how much of a magical girl otaku Sumiko was. While the genre had changed significantly after studios began to take darker spins on the traditional idea of magical girls fighting supernatural monsters, it was still an industry rife with moe-fanatics that squealed like pigs during risqué transformation sequences. At least her taste in magical girl anime wasn’t that bad. He’d tried a few of the series, and found them to be a good distraction late at night. Symphogear in particular. He could see where the professor had drawn inspiration for a few of the MagiTech weaponry designs.

With a few quick steps, his boots ringing against the hard floor of the school hallway, Kako Ikuu made perfect ninety degree turn as arrived at the classroom in which the candidates were held, before lifting up one hand and sliding open the door with just enough strength that it opened without a sound. If any of the young girls in room were particularly perceptive, they would have noticed just how smooth and unblemished his bare forearms were. Synthetic skin WAS rather nice to look at, just like how mannequins were nice to look at.

He allowed himself a brighter, almost motherly smile as he waved with his right hand and said, “Hello and good day, girls. I’m Kako Ikuu, and I’d love to explain why you’ve been asked to stay in this classroom in particular, but I’d think that Sumiko-chan would kill me for stealing the role of ‘Kyubey’ from her, so I’ll just keep my mouth shut.”

His left hand bent upwards into a forty-five degree angle, placing a large box onto one of the unoccupied desks, before lifting open the cover. An assortment of small desserts were clustered on the first layer, pretty much gleaming in the afternoon sun.

“I made too much yesterday night, so help yourselves. If you dislike sweets, I have takoyaki in the middle layer and nikuman in the third.”

FJA 531: An Exploration of Fantasy

It was a day unlike any other day of summer, one in which the tepid heat of the dog days gave away to a cooler warmth, where the sun shone brightly, but did not melt away those underneath it. Late August was a pleasant and yet, regrettable period of time. Summer break had ended and freshmen were popping in all over the place. A second year himself, Ren Akimoto found the scenes of new students dragging around heavy boxes full of luggage slightly endearing. It reminded him of himself, before he realized that it was smarter just to pack light and buy what you needed. Maybe it could be considered the logic of a rich person, but he had worked during the summer in order to get enough money to finance all his needs for this year.

Well, depending on how it goes, perhaps it’d only be enough for this semester. Ren didn’t have much of anything in terms of meeting old friends or going partying during the national holidays, so it was pretty obvious that he’d probably blow it all away one night. Not that he liked thinking that far into the future. Stuff like that only stressed him out.

The raven-haired youth took in a deep breath of the autumn air, enjoying a transient moment of silence, before the noise of the crowd collapsed on him once more. The many trees that circled the courtyard of Chiharu were turning ablaze, becoming red and orange in response to the creeping autumn. The Dean of Admissions, a lovely lady that looked more like a model than an academic, was beginning her speech with the same cheerful, energetic manner in which she conducted herself last semester. Looking at her face, he managed a small smile. It must have been one of the highlights of her life, seeing the faces of those that survived the tribulations of Chiharu entrance exams.

But he wasn’t here to listen to Asako’s speech.

Flicking open his IPhone 12, complete with multi-touch and a 6G Network that allowed for light-speed processing, he exited his Puzzles and Dragons application and checked his e-mail once more for confirmation. FJA 531, the only class that was starting on the very first day. Going all out in the beginning, huh? Sounded interesting, if nothing else. Maybe they’ll do an icebreaker between classmates, cause from what he had heard, the class size was remarkably small for what appeared to be a GPA booster course.

It wasn’t hard to find the ‘classroom’ as well, considering how easily the FJA sign stood out. Cute, little thing, reminded him of something that one would see in a fantasy war anime. The man sitting in front of the flag was a foreigner as well, one that Ren hadn’t yet seen around in campus. Walking up to the professor with a harmless little smile, he asked cheekily, “How does my tuition taste, Prof?”

Wow, gratz, .76. Hope he grows up well~

And if you want to continue this RP with the three of us, that's fine. If you want there to be an even number of players, I can see if one of my friends are interested.

FJA 531: An Exploration of Fantasy

King of Nii-chans

Name: Akimoto Ren
Age: 19
Personality: Sometimes, you must ask yourself. If you were surrounded by three sisters of varying ages, each of them not actually blood-related, and each of them beautiful in their own way, would you go out of your way to try and get a piece of dat ass? After all, you’d have to be a pathetic, naïve cherry boy or a homosexual NOT to do so, right? Fortunately, Akimoto Ren, dubbed by his high school classmates as ‘King of Nii-chans’, is neither. Unlike his friends though, he knows of the more dangerous side of his sisters.

The youngest, Miyu, is an elementary school girl who’s a culinary master. After a few years of watching her callously dice cucumbers into small cubes, he realized that, no, it’s both illegal and stupid to do so.

The middle sister, Tsukino, is in her last year of high school, a girl gifted with delicate hands. After a few years of being tossed around by her black belt-level judo skills, he realized that, no, he didn’t actually have to be a protective big brother. Any Chiharu delinquents that tried picking her up would just get their heads rammed through the asphalt.

The oldest sister, Haruna, had just recently graduated from a police academy, and is currently hospitalized due to an incident that she refuses to talk about. You’d have to be a special type of scumbag to go after someone who’s already injured, really.

And Ren isn’t a scumbag. He isn’t much of anything, really. A jack-of-all-trades with no particular interest in anything, he pursues a General Arts degree, unsure of where he would go after he graduates from Chiharu and becomes overqualified for part-time jobs. A social person who speaks his mind easily and fearlessly, he takes on every day with no plan in mind, seeing life as a spontaneous affair. He avoids thinking about what the future holds, and sticks with present goals, which has severely damaged his grades. Pretty terrible at planning out anything, Ren enjoys doing activities that allow him to forget about the wider scope of the world. He’s an athlete and an avid consumer of media, but isn’t talented in any of those things. The breadth of his skill set is enormous, but he lacks depth in any one of them, as he never stays interested in them long enough to gain any depth. A shallow, dispassionate person, Ren is not someone that you should consider a long-term relationship with.

History: The Akimoto lineage was not one that was created through a ‘pure’ romance, nor was it created through the bonding of noble families. It is an accumulation of ‘talent’, a family tree composed of remarkable individuals that are adopted into the branch families, before being married off to the main families. With many of their members holding great financial, politicial, or military power, the Akimoto family could be considered one of the most influential clans in Japan, all with the intent of selectively breeding the perfect human.

It was in this situation that Ren, Miyu, Haruna, and Tsukino were adopted. Each had no connection with the other, outside of the fact that they all possessed a certain talent that made them ‘shine’ more than the others. Miyu was a good cook, Tsukino was a good artist, Haruna was a talented in martial arts, and Ren was capable of doing anything he put his mind to. Every one of them were orphaned for one reason or the other, and every one of them were capable of shedding such a dark past early on. Ren didn’t remember his parents, but he didn’t feel much of a need to find them as well.

He was at the age of six when he was adopted, and quickly adapted to the rigors of Chiharu Elementary. With the confidence of having rich parents and the ability to easily understand anything that was thrown at him, he quickly became one of the popular kids, decked out in the coolest bicycles and holding the most expensive pudding. He got cavities every Valentine’s Day from the amount of chocolate he received, and Ren was literally the envy of every other male student in his class.

Middle school was passed in a similar fasion, except for the fact that he was now pestered by males as well, who had just began to feel the awkwardness of puberty and realized how nice girls were. Surrounded by two sisters as he was, there were questions shot at him regarding Tsukino and Haruna on an almost daily basis. He was beginning to tire of how much he stood out at that point, and Ren eventually got himself a pair of headphones, so he can avoid conversations more easily.

High school in Chiharu was the period in which he tried his best to change his image, to cast off the shadow of the Akimoto name. He became much more of a delinquent, going to school with an improperly-worn uniform and glaring daggers at anyone that tried to get friendly with him. Neglecting his grades and only doing enough to pass, Ren strode through school causing trouble, even managing to steal the position of the girl’s kendo team manager from another. Then he brought that team up to first place in the nationals, and he was praised for it, his academic misconduct overlooked in light of those results. Yet, he was praised as one of the Akimoto family, as if something like this was only to be expected. And it was at the last year of high school that he gave up trying to surpass the connotations of that name.

In university, he realized that he had nothing, and he thought hard about that. He thought hard about that for a long time.
