Shoujo^3 - A Cozy Romance RP Concept

Urge... to mess up Eikichi's hair... rising...

Only thing I'd add is that Suzuka probably held off on telling him until almost the eve of the move because she was worried how he'd react, but she did probably explain why she was moving out close to the last moment rather than just ghosting him. Likely would have tried to keep in touch for a while but didn't have a phone of her own so it was kinda difficult, and eventually they fell out of touch. Still probably feels like she left him behind, regardless, though.

Absolutely! I put Eikichi down as a second year. I definitely sense a lot of "I won't let you leave me this time" potential...

@OliveYou

Oh we absolutely love to see it.

At any rate, I'll work on getting an OOC for this set up hopefully tomorrow. In the mean time, feel free to use this thread to brainstorm any pre-existing dynamics.

Great! For the character section, my guy's name Eikichi ^^

@OliveYou

Ah, yeah, it goes without saying that we can edit names and relation details in as we iron things out.

Speaking of which, for an added detail, the meeting circumstance I had in mind for the whole childhood friends bit is that Suzuka's single dad was probably a bit of an absentee parent out of necessity, working tons of hours to keep food on the table and such, and so there were a lot of nights when he couldn't come home from work and she thus ended up staying over with the family next door, and ended up befriending their son in the process. More or less did everything together, partly because she felt at home there and partly just because very few of her other classmates could stand her, since she's a terrible conversationalist and the epitome of awkward. Had to move away and stay with her grandparents during middle school though, since her dad's job transferred him overseas, so she ended up vanishing for like three or four years before abruptly transferring back in first or second year of high school after getting permission to live mostly on her own. Sorta tries to pick things up where they left off, but isn't really sure how welcome she is or if they're still friends and all that. The classic reunion, basically.

Do you think that sort of history between them would work with Eikichi's background?

Here we go. Cribbed the general style from a few previous RPs I've been in (what can I say, I'm a hack and a fraud), and tweaked it a lil to suit the purposes of this RP. If we get two more people interested, I can add more footnotes in the character relations segment, otherwise going with just 4 will honestly work fine.

Word of warning, it's a little bit buggy until you add in a character color code. Just look for the capitalized spots and slot it in and the format should more or less display correctly, though the alignment can look a little bit off until you slot an image in and add some text to the body of it. Just let me know if there are any problems with it and I can help fix it.

I'm working on a CS format as we speak, should be fairly basic stuff. Appearance, backstory, some bullet points for personality and maybe character relations. I'll drop it here as soon as I have it ready.

Hmm... I wonder if Foxy went to great lengths to be perceived as cool by a certain someone when he made his high school debut...?

@OliveYou

Oh my god, that's wonderful. They're both down so bad and yet neither realizes it because of how many levels of self-consciousness and mixed messages they're on.

Shoujo^3 - A Cozy Romance RP Concept

All of the options are good!! Suzuka x Foxy would be an interesting reunion. She'd be shocked at how much he's changed.

@OliveYou

Ooh, that would absolutely be a good angle to go with. I'm thinking a lot of her hangups probably stem from like, worrying that she's the only one who was lonely after she moved away, and wondering if they can be as close as they were before, or if he'll move on without her after they graduate and stuff. So him having changed a ton and her being more or less the same as always could really be a good way to engage with those fears on her part, since he's harder to read now and she can't tell whether he's being serious or just teasing her.

Shoujo^3 - A Cozy Romance RP Concept

It's perfect. Absolute peak.

Though honestly, I think either pairing could work really well, since Suzuka, my planned character, is a bit more on the kuudere side -- bad at expressing herself and really low social awareness, so she just comes off as really blunt and kind of aloof. She's boyish more in terms of her interests than in terms of her outward demeanor, in other words.

So pairing her with sunshine boy would be the perfect source of warmth to kinda defrost her and give her opportunities to return that warmth in kind, whereas pairing her with the fox-type, teasing lad would instead be more of a game where he tries to get her to express herself more, and she sometimes unexpectedly pranks him back. Either way, feels like it could be really sweet, since in both cases they're the unique one who's the exception to her usual guardedness.

Likewise, wholesome softie boi could also be the one to just constantly try and help the local mom friend because who moms the mom friend? The cinnamon roll, that's who.

Shoujo^3 - A Cozy Romance RP Concept

Also sounds like a ray of sunshine would play really well with the other character concepts people have listed so far. 100% honest and straightforward compared to the local tease, and full extroversion compared to my character being super reserved and kinda lone wolf-ish.

Shoujo^3 - A Cozy Romance RP Concept

That is exactly specific enough, and also perfect for this sort of RP!
