Canon Update Plotting/Trigger Warning Notice!

[soft_focus]

Hey everyone! This is Usagi here, and some here know me as the one who plays Masumi, Gongenzaka, and more importantly this kid here-Reira Akaba.

Reira's recently undergone a canon update, which for the most part gave him an expanded character; over his series, he opened up a bit more, great right?

Unfortunately it means that his past traumas are a lot less repressed; to put it shortly, Reira spent the vast majority of his life in an actual warzone. Tanks, gunfire, the works; this is why Reira in game was very quiet and quick to follow orders-these were defense mechanisims he developed in that time.

Now that he's recovering, the traumas of those events could spark an attack, so I've made a section on his HMD detailing the potential risks and consequences. If anyone wants to opt out of the possibility of hitting a panic attack with the kid, or just want to avoid the topic of his background over all, just let me know there.

Naturally, sending a PM during a thread is also acceptable, and I myself intend to send notices if it could come up unexpectedly in a thread, aside from leaving warnings on logs where it might come up. This is just an overall heads up for anyone wanting to play with him!

On that note, with recent events, I want to work on a small personal plot with Reira; this isn't going to be a player event, nothing like that, but Reira needs to face what his room keeps trying to make and that means another person has to be involved! So this is a call for anyone interested in that! Leave a comment here and we can plot it through!

With that, thanks for taking the time to read this.

Interested! What did you have in mind for poor Reira?

Well for the entire time that he's been here, Reira had been staying in Shun's room; now that both he and Yuuto are gone, and he's had an update that gives enough confidence boost to face his fears, he's going to have to go back to it.

The reason he went to Shun's room was because last time he opened it, it couldnt quite settle on his home-he never really viewed his home after the battlefield as 'home', it was just...a place. Add in the Fake-Reiji ala Fake-Connie from SU's canon, and...it was pretty nightmare inducing.

What I have planned will involve Reira facing this room; naturally though, that's going to cause a triggered response, one that someone has to help him through. Aside from that, whoever comes in on this is going to obviously discover a fair bit of Reira's past-more than nearly anyone in his canon, in fact.

Whoa. That poor kid! It sounds like it's going to be pretty traumatic. Connie's heard a lot of different tales, and since most people telling them are older, it'll be different to have someone from her age having to face that kind of stuff.

That said, it's actually a good thing if Connie goes with him: her stone is Moss Agate, and that stone has a lot to do with the powers Connie has to begin with. While people like Fluttershy have the ability to heal, Connie helps people in frantic situations ground and center, and recently she was given the power to actually give them a power boost if needed, although this will take more out of her, since they'll be in an artificial room instead of out in the open.

Now, Connie being able to do this won't mean it'll happen right away. With all the stuff that's in Reira's memories, there's bound to be plenty of obstacles to get in their way. I don't know them canonically, so that'll definitely be in your court. Connie will definitely be game to finding out about Reira.

Actually, they both talk to Dr. Quinzell, don't they?

Younger than that, even-Reira's only 7 after all.

That said, they do indeed both know Harley, so if she ends up a potential muse joining in this could turn into something quite interesting!

What good is it having a shrink if she can't walk through the magical manifestations of your traumatized mind? Count me in!
