Player Name: Salsa Contact:eternities; MaxSalsa#9974 on Discord Introduction: Hi, I'm Salsa, he/him, I've been here since the Great Migration and have very strange tastes. AU games have been my jam for a long time. I enjoy mahous, band girls and idols, mecha, the occasional slice of life thing, RPGs, and I used to watch Detective Conan every week. These days I'm into Atelier, G-Witch, Ascendance of a Bookworm, Precure, Bandori, Love Live (SIF2 when Bushi???), and I'm working through Honkai Impact 3rd in preparation for Star Rail in... what, a week? I haven't been in a game in a while so I'll be a little rusty, I think, but I love the aesthetic here and I want to give it a try. I want to review a little on at least one of these nerds before I actually post a TDM, but I want to at least get my thoughts down so someone can poke me if they have ideas. I am on Mountain time but also work an early morning stocking job, so I am most commonly available afternoons MDT and sometimes weekends. I have a keyboard in my locker at work though, if I get a notification I'm capable of limited tagging during the day. Sometimes. Maybe. (I read threads all day though, it's a problem but not really.)
I've got Setsuna Yuki (Love Live! School Idol Project/Festival/All Stars please save me from this franchise), Yui Nanase (Go! Princess Precure; would probably app as a civvie), and Yui Yumekawa (Idol Time PriPara) in my back pocket but I'm not ready to app any of them as first characters; if I stick to BD I may come back to one of them. So for now, this is the one I have in mind:
Character Name: Lisa Imai Canon: BanG Dream! Girls Band Party (Bandori for short)
About: Designated Team Mom in search of a new team to mom at. High school senior, for my sanity. Plays the bass guitar; she slowed down on it through late middle school and into high school due to some kind of Incident, but has recently started to pick it up again after Awakening as a Dreamer and finding her weapon is her bass. Will tend toward support powers once she has some, I think, but will absolutely go Mama Bear if someone she's looking out for is in trouble, magic or not.
Easygoing but can be somewhat insecure, and has minor to moderate self-worth issues. Gives freely of herself, sometimes to excess - call her and she's there, text your sob story and she'll listen into the wee hours. A romantic at heart; enthralled by the idea of magic, despite having it herself. Active on social media but not overly so, and definitely doesn't go back and skim comments on anything else talking about her. It's Lisa, not Aya. Open and social, up to try almost anything once. A good-ish student - willing to help others with their homework or test prep, but doesn't want to put in the effort to be top of the class. Casual with everyone; respectful enough to people she doesn't know, but tends to drop honorifics once she's familiar with you.
Loves to make things. Sketches clothing and accessory ideas in the margins of her notes. Will make you a new outfit with a big smile, enjoying it as much as she likes making new designs for herself. Carries spare scarves and knit hats like other people carry a spare umbrella. Also bakes, especially sweets; carries a bag of cookies for emergencies too. Can make cute shapes if motivated but usually sticks to simple things - taste is more important! Is banned from trying to mix the two hobbies after her last attempt to make oven mitts caught fire. Believes a fresh look and a fresh snack can brighten anyone's day. (Traded away dance club from canon.)
Short Term & Long Term Plans: Lisa will initially be going through a bit of a self-discovery phase, as she reacclimates to being a musician again; I haven't figured out exactly why she stopped, and will probably leave it as a Noodle Incident if nothing comes to mind. That phase is also influenced by her transferring to Promised Morning this year after a very recent Awakening, so she'll be trying to realign her social circle and how she functions on a day-to-day basis. She is probably still waffling on whether or not to sign on with the Union but is leaning toward joining - yarn money is hard to pass up.
I don't have any long term plans in mind yet. I think Lisa's going to be going with the flow for a bit and letting her heart guide her.
Desired CR/AU Castmates: Fellow high-school students! Lisa is a social butterfly and will be happy to chat with anyone and everyone, all the time, possibly too much but who's counting? Also, people that play instruments! Lisa canonically is garbage at lyrics but tries hard anyway, but if you need someone to run your bass line, she's your girl. I would love castmates but I have zero expectation of that. Instead she'll be a presence at anything that passes for a music venue in Yumemigaoka - surely there's a live house somewhere in the city. Or a light music club at Promised Morning. Or just other people she sees with a gig bag.
Also also, people that like clothing or plushies! This aspect is new for the AU so I'll be feeling it out a little, but I'm thinking of her as being in - or running, if necessary - some kind of fashion club, or maybe a sewing club, or a crafts club if she can't find anyone for something that specific. She will absolutely gift clothing (at least accessories) to people, and will probably show up to school in something she's made at least once a month. Probably takes commissions, too.
Anything Else?: I just want to say that there are a lot of great ideas on this planning meme and I read through just about all of them for inspiration and to enjoy the creativity. Coming up with wild AUs is half the fun of looking at games like this.
