Oh, for sure! Cael will try to handle it as best he can but ngl he's going to feel pretty awkward. Even if Toushirou was a fair bit younger than him to begin with, there's still that feeling of "this is someone who was enrolled here at the same time I was."

[growingshield]

I will invite him to do as he will.

[knowitallgoddess]

Good because no one wants to listen to Palutena give a talk about doing chores being good for you.

[icy_heavens]

I'm sure the awkward won't be helped by the scowling child who refuses to talk about any problems he's having. Possibly refusing to talk, period. Just. Watching you. With scowls. That's totally not disconcerting at all.

Soren | Fire Emblem 9 & 10

[tactlesstactician]

Character Name: Soren
Character Journal: tactlesstactician
Canon: Fire Emblem 9 & 10

Brief Personality: Soren is cold, bitter, high-strung and anti-social. He is not exactly shy, however, about sharing his opinion when he feels like it, and his opinions are generally cynical and blunt to the point of rudeness. He doesn't want to be anyone's friend, but at the same time he doesn't actually know how to be a friend, so take that as you will. Although still pretty uncomfortable with the physical aspect of his mutations, he is nevertheless very dedicated to his studies and is quite intelligent. He likes reading, parkour and games of strategy, whether they're chess or something like Starcraft.

Brief AU History: Soren was raised in succession by a woman who resented his existence, then a man who really just wanted him to use as a tool, and then he spent a few years living on the streets before being taken in by a church and its attached parochial school. It was the best life he ever knew (and the place where he finally got a name), but then he developed his mutations and that all went to hell - especially since in addition to air manipulation, he also sprouted a pair of small dragon wings.

He spent another several years living on the streets, doing whatever he could to survive until recruited by someone from the school a bit less than a year ago. And now he's here, struggling to catch up on schooling. Math and physics come easily to him, but he is otherwise various stages of behind in other subjects. Even though he doesn't have to hide his wings here, he still tends to except maybe during any sort of training classes. Outside of those, he usually wears a coat or a baggie hoodie or something to help cover up the awkward lumps where he keeps them folded tight against his back.

Joined School: Slightly less than a year ago. Probably about 10 months.

Plans/CR seeking/other ideas:
+ Soren needs a friend. Badly. Someone who can put up with him being a tactless asshole and is willing to put in the work of cracking his shell. This'd be a long term thing.
+ but a chess partner / someone to play games against would also be cool
+ he manipulates air. someone should totally make him get involved in music stuff
+ on that note, he has wings that he more or less avoids using. they're not grown in enough to be useful for flying yet and probably won't be for another few years (longer if he doesn't actually exercise them).

+ all that said, I am a-ok with him having negative CR. lord knows he can be quite insulting at times. So conversely, if anyone wants rivalries or someone determined not to get along and play nice, here he is! /o/ that said, he doesn't deliberately cause trouble. He doesn't wanna be kicked out or get in trouble for misbehavior and is actually secretly scared that this may happen. . . . that doesn't stop him from being an asshole at times, though.

+ man, come at me bro. I am open to just about anything.

Is it okay to make Test Drive threads game canon?: I didn't post on the test drive. ^^;

[shiningscales]

YES ALL THESE THINGS

Haha, to be more serious, I would definitely like to see them as buddies. They do seem to have complimentary dispositions, and I think once he gets past "wait you're how old," Caelius would be torn between treating Takakage to his usual fussing routine and admiring him. He seems so well put together on the outside, and Caelius often feels he...isn't, which is a problem considering his position. (LITTLE DOES HE KNOW.)

So, yes, I'm definitely down for this CR.

[growingshield]

Ahh, and I was going to say my bad for that - for having tagged so slowly on their TDM thread! - but haa I'm delighted if you would and likewise on CR with Leysritt! Stoic deadpanning and/or frankness and scatterbrained open-book "trying" ought to definitely be fun to play off each other in-game proper.

[shiningscales]

He can be stubborn too. They can sit in silence for however long it takes, Toushirou!!

[thirdarrow]

/deposits takakage here

[kamiizumi]

aaaaah tellius fire emblem is my jam let me touch you.

I'd really love to get CR with other characters who have obvious physical mutations! Though Leo's is of course not quite as hidable as Soren's. Leo's actually also in the situation of "kind of behind in weird places because of no formal education," so that could also be a thing - Leo's not an aggressive I WILL BEFRIEND YOU type, but he can be pretty patient, so maybe they can get somewhere.

[growingshield]

It'll be met with rather regular why are you looking at me like that?

[tactlesstactician]

troubled students, hm? even ones who are complete headaches to deal with? Soren fits that bill! Or at least he can, if you want a student who will be likely to insist that he's totally fine now can he go... He's been busy for the past several months trying to get caught up to his age group in schooling, so he's probably done his best to avoid any sort of counseling, but that could change.

[shiningscales]

THERE'S A PERFECTLY GOOD REASON FOR THIS I SWEAR

:''') I'm glad we had this discussion

[thirdarrow]

takakage can teach you about self-control but it really isn't all that easy to achieve lmao you need to be broken from the start

though it seems to me that cael might be the one getting advice from takakage since the latter is extremely secretive about himself... so y e a h I am quite amazed at how he is so well-held together even in this au setting

will Cael be unsettled by him, though? since once they get down to the less pleasant subjects takakage's calmness still will not change. (he has seen people getting mauled to death and probably put a few of them back together. as well as other things but yeah.)

EDIT basically he doesn't flinch or appear to be scared of anything or stuff like that. he's been through a lot.

[icy_heavens]

These will clearly be the most productive counselling sessions ever.

[kickstart_my_heart]

'ello roomie

[shiningscales]

I would actually love CR with Soren; for one thing, Caelius has dragon physiology as part of his powers as well, though his involve a greater amount of shapeshifting than Soren's do. REGARDLESS, he's got some scales that never disappear, which he usually keeps covered up by his clothes. That could be something they talk about together, maybe?

[tactlesstactician]

hello roomie!

I'm so sorry. Bridget is so nice, and his roommate is ... not.

.... but I kind of really want Bridget to find a way to get Soren to play dress up with him (even if it'd be grudgingly and probably in exchange for something like 'if i wear this dress with you, will you go away?' ).

[kickstart_my_heart]

you wanted someone to slowly crack at soren's shell, bridget's ya boy, man. and they live together, so it's not like soren can run away all the time, anyways

[tactlesstactician]

squints at


did we just comment on each others' comments at the same time?

by who knows how many seconds

[shiningscales]

He'll need a few minutes to alter his mistaken view of the world but lbr, crossdressing is probably the least strange thing that goes on at this school

[kamiizumi]

I never knew how badly I needed "reluctant shirtless guidance counseling on the roof" on my rp bucket list until now.

[kickstart_my_heart]

dude, I mean, come on...

Feliks, man.

[tactlesstactician]

only if I can touch you back because Leo!!!

Being patient is really the main qualification, honestly. But no that sounds awesome! Maybe they'll be in a remedial class together or wind up working on some project together or something? And Soren will actually be a bit less bitter towards Leo simply because of that physical mutation thing (no envy there) and because Leo is sensible. So I think they have a chance!
