/bursts through the door as fabulously late as possible

[dyingmoments]

Okay no I'm sorry this is so horribly late that it's impossible to be fabulous about it I would've ooc introed earlier but this weekend was full of crazy shenanigans involving shoes, broken TVs, and furniture tetris.

I'm Philo and I'm bringing to the table the protagonist from the visual novel series, Jisei. He does have a name (it's Alex), but he refuses to give it out to the point that someone had to give him a nickname just so they had something to call him by. He's a bit hard to describe since his attitude changes from person to person, but his story (for this game at least) is that he's an RGer that thinks he just hopped a bus to another city and is trying to get by until he can go to another one. Also, he has this power that allows him to relive the dying moments of any dead person he touches, which doesn't really break the game, but if he touches any UGer while they're in the RG there's going to be some interesting consequences.

Feel free to add me on plurk where I'm unchainednote. Just so you know what you're getting into, I mostly plurk memes, commentary about my current anime/video game/manga of the week, school stuff and the occasional bout of rl ranting.

ffffff I guess that's better than inrto-ing after the game opens--

But hello hello I think I remember you (or your Rin at least) from d_m. Nice to meet you and will do~

[wonderful_mods]

Yep, that was me! Nice to see you again too :D

[deathdesu]

Oh. WRONG ACCOUNT but oh well

[shinbunshinobi]

Nice to meet you! I'm Avie, and I'll be playing Sasuke Sarutobi here.

Out of curiosity, what would happen if the UG character doesn't know how he died?

[dyingmoments]

Nice to meet you too. :>

And um. That's a good question.

Death is pretty straightforward in Alex's world. There's no such thing as ghosts or the undead or pretty much anything supernatural other than the abilities he and some other characters have, so there's a lot of room for interpretation.

The way I see it, it's a case of where even if the mind doesn't know, the body still remembers-- the final thoughts and feelings that a person has right before their death are pretty much embedded in them. (Normal) corpses can't talk, but they carry the story of how they came to be if you know how to read them.

But most of the time Alex doesn't get the full story. (There's a whole spiel about it in my app in the abilities section, but basically amount of time in direct contact = amount of detail read.) For example, on one occasion he accidentally brushes his hand against a murder victim's. He gets a churning feeling in his stomach (the victim was poisoned), vague images of people he doesn't know, and a strong wish to "protect the vault". On the flipside, a drop of blood from different victim falls on his cheek and Alex passes out before getting the chance to wipe it off. The prolonged contact causes him to watch the entire death in all its gruesome detail. (Also I forgot to mention he can't read peaceful deaths.)

Soooo long story short, it doesn't change anything. I kind of tl;dred there, but I hope that was informative?

Yes it is! I was vague about how Sasuke died, and he doesn't know the details, so I was wondering how that would play out. If it does happen, I'll come up with some details beyond that he was in some "accident." =)
