let's get a little more familiar

[crystallomancy]

The Common Knowledge Meme

Maybe you're classmates. Maybe you hang around the same stairwell. Maybe, realistically, your characters should be doing battle over the dormitory's only kitchen for dinner rights—but since it isn't possible to thread everything out with everyone all the time, let's make things easier!

Protocol:
1. Post with your character(s) and list things that could be considered "common knowledge" around the school, including anything you think people might know or notice even if your characters haven't ever met or spoken directly. Yogen's a pretty big school, after all. Feel free to make categories if you feel like it'll help!

Fun ideas to include...
An average day or week for your character.
Things people might notice right away by looking at them (how they dress, notable scars, etc).
Behaviors people might notice by seeing them often.
Places they can usually be found and what they do there.
Small facts that might come up in conversation about your character.
Little things your character does for other students (who else here is making lunches for their NPC friends).

2. Then go reply to other people with relevant common knowledge/headcanon between your characters!

Fun ideas to consider...
How your characters might know one another (same classes, same floor, similar interests, nine degrees of separation).
Anything specific they might have noticed about them recently (like changes in activity).
How often they see each other or spend time with/around each other.
Recent developments they might be aware of that've likely been handwaved.
Who they might be familiar with by proxy (for people who might complain talk about their roommates, classmates, other students in general, etc).

3. Use this opportunity to handwave some CR or plot things! Got something you think your character's CR should know but haven't had a chance for it to come up? Is there someone your character sees often enough or hears about often enough that there's some basis for CR but you just haven't had the chance to talk about it? Now's your chance.

Most of all, have fun and don't stress!

Comments

Noah Ebalon

[silentabyss]

Impressions:

☽This kid looks like a delinquent, straight-up. Like he looks like he spraypaints dicks on walls for fun.
☽His eyes are very weird.
☽Incredibly quiet and shy. If he has to speak to someone, especially someone new, he's prone to stammering.
☽His left arm from fingertip to just past the elbow is black. Noah usually has his sleeves rolled halfway up, so it's very easy to see.
☽There is a moon on literally everything he wears. Yes, the moon clip from his tie, he transfers between outfits. No he does not care about the dress code.
☽Absolutely covered head to toe in scars of varying sizes, from thin little lacerations to things that he probably needed to go to the hospital for. This is more notable if you catch him in the pool. But since his arms are always halfway bare, it's easy to see that he's been in a couple fights.

Places:

☽He has a set pattern every day of Kitchen -> Clock tower -> Wherever Clamor is -> hallway. Any hallway.
☽With the addition of dormitories though the hallway thing has kind of died and he's made a point in returning to his room every night where he mostly focuses way too hard on trying to get his suncatchers to catch moonlight.
☽He swims a lot these days
☽When the library was silent, he used it as a place to have his mental breakdowns in. The library is no longer silent, so he's looking for a new place to host his mental breakdowns. Inquire within.

Recent events:

☽He and Komaeda are going to try to feed whatever's in the swimming pool!
☽As usual, shadow cats are abundant with him. He takes requests for other animals, and he can even give you your own pair of cat ears!
☽Amami gifted him a suncatcher. He might have cried a bit about it, it's fine.
☽Clamor's teaching him ✨magic✨!

People:

☽Clamor - this is his dad (not biological), they're from the same world and are normally literally joined at the hip since Clamor is usually a sickle (not now) (but usually). Noah has promised to commit at least several murders if anything happens to Clamor so uh :)
☽Sidney - his other dad. He's been adopted
☽Senku - roommate... might as well be bestie. Noah usually has questions about space for Senku to answer
☽Tali - friend who answers more space travel questions
☽Ishimaru - a friend, Noah is slightly scared of him when he kicks into study mode, but Ishimaru is probably half the reason Noah's grades are okay-ish
☽Sara - the other reason Noah's grades are okay-ish. Also art-buddy! Also big sister.
☽Amami - gave Noah a suncatcher and that's all it took to win his friendship
☽Komaeda - a bad influence Noah's friend :) who is not teaching Noah bad things :) at all :)
☽Stephanie - little sister... also a reminder that there are good things in the world
☽Nene - he realised in August when he literally took a nap on her that he had a crush on her so currently he's just screaming internally. Please help him.
☽Crona - Beats Noah up whenever Noah wants! :)
☽Haruka - little sister. who cares if she's dead, she's sister now.
☽Childe - slowly is working his way up to big brother status, but Noah's confided in Childe a couple times... no he has no idea what Childe's about. Go away

Rumours:

☽Will get a crush on everyone he sees being openly bisexual in the 90s be like
☽Dating Kokichi. No, he's dating Nene. No, what if he likes Natsume, they held hands once? What about—
☽Probably wants to be an astronaut, like look how passionate he is about the moon haha
☽His black arm is clearly just a really big boring tattoo, seriously, who has a skin condition like that :/

RUMORS FOR YOU:

[mermaidcursed]

Probably just dips his arm in paint like a chuuni.
Known heartbreaker- Kokichi was just the last of a terrible chain!
Can definitely talk to and understand cats.
Didn't he die like, last month? I swear, I saw him just laying in the hallway not moving for an entire day- is he a ghost.

[silentabyss]

he might be a ghost. shhh

MORE RUMORS:

[radnarok]

I bet there are like ten million about what brand of contact Noah is wearing, and if he ever changes them. :D

[silentabyss]

noah only recently found out what contacts are via gundham and he would be more offended by this rumour if it didn't mean he could hide the whole human experimentation thing from people easier, please everyone just think he's a loser it's easier that way
