I have decided that Rin's story seems to be at a dead end. It's a long tragic tale, that ends with Rin becoming Miator school Chancellor. Which is nice, but pretty lonely. This version of Rin May continue to exist as an NPC, but my actual Rin account is getting a Makeover!

I haven't thought about the mechanics, maybe this minigawa sensei s cousin or niece or something.

So starting this fall I'm starting Rin over as a first year and totally reinventing her as her former pre-dead-girlfriend self! So! I'm posting here for plot ideas. Before meeting Chibiru in her fifth year, Rin was a popular, very smart girl with few friends and a family that didn't care about her.

Should i mix it up? What should new Rin be like? What about her face claim? Should i keep the silver hair?

Just looking to brainstorm out some ideas for her new self and new plots.

Hm, if you change the hair color I'd say still keep it light, like blonde or white. But it's up to you, really~

I def. like the idea of her being how you said she was. (Popular, etc.) Just not too self-confident, since she's a first year?

For plots....hmm, maybe if she's in Rin's family, you could play with the idea of her expecting to look up to Rin since she was Etoile, but maybe new Rin has a rebellious streak and doesn't want to be Etoile?

I dunno. I think this is a cool idea, though! (The fact that you're doing this, I mean.) I can't wait to see how she turns out!

edit - oh yeah, I forgot you wanted an avatar for asami, so I'll add that to the thread later today.

Sounds like fun! I've been wanting to do something with Axelle, since her story has kinda gone silent. Maybe I could bring some other one-eyes relative of hers. She could be that friend that new Rin's family wants her to stay away from. (Family curses, playing guitar? She's such a bad apple!!)

I don't have much else. This seems like a fun concept to play around with, though. I like the idea of some apprehension around taking up the position of Etoile. Seems like it would be a lot of pressure to be put on her, coming straight out of the gate. Could have some fun with the idea of New Rin having to keep up appearances and trying not to show any signs of fear as she enters the school with everyone's eyes on her. I'm sure she'll be a favorite subject of those gossip letters!

I say "popular" but i really meant she was well known, she had really high marks in all her studies, which is why she didn't have friends, everyone knew who she was, but her grades made everyone think she was unnaproachable.

I kind of feel like making her an angry type, i like the idea of her being mad about being in minigawa sensei's shadow, and not wanting to do anything like her. Maybe she's resistant to all the formalities and expectations being thrust her as a young lady of wealth. Maybe she'll have light hair, but dye it some other color out of spite. She's never met Rin, but maybe she hates her anyway for always being compared to her.

Which begs the question, should she stay a miator? I think she should, but i could switch it up.


Also -i'm so excited i can't wait to see asami's siggy!

Meh, I feel like she wouldn't want to be a Miator, it'd invite more comparisons to Minagawa-sensei, which, if you go the angry girl route, would just be asking for trouble.

I'd have to disagree, I think it would be better if she stayed a Miator. Her family can't control some things she does, but I feel like that isn't one of them.

It's been up since last night, Rin.

Lol I never looked, I guess I didn't notice.

I was also thinking, Rin could be an innocent type too. Not like my character Kitsuki, as in, not childlike, but more like Nagisa. Some common sense, easily impressed, dazzled by Astraea Hill in all its splendor. An honest, relatively happy girl, but she still has reservations about Minigawa sensei, etoile and being compared to her. But instead of being mad about it, she could be extremely modest and evasive about it.

She was a seme type before, maybe making her uke the this time could be fun. Lol this is like a second playthrough on a video game. This is fun.

Found a face claim for positive Rin...pink hair, yukuuzi fuuka from girls be ambitious! what do you think? (Warning, lots of pics, sort of using this post as a save spot for the images in case i need them later) Also "Rin" as a name should stay the same bug a cue character like this looks like she should have a "ki" or "mi" at the end of her name, maybe she should have a nickname? Ideas?

I just did a google search for new Rin's face claim and have concluded that it works really well if you're going for the innocent route. Really cute! The video game analogy is really applicable for me right now, and I think it could be fun to go that route with new Rin. Of course it's up to you. Thought it would be worth mentioning that my new character is also a Miator 1st year, and if new Rin is still a really good student and spends any time in the library, Ubu might encounter her there since she's really into self-studying. Anyway, if I think of anything else to add I'll post again!

Weee!I feel like Rin has been a negative character for too long. The angry girl character seemed to have more depth, but the innocent one is is like a breath of fresh air after playing depressed Rin for like...ever.

But she really does need a nickname...something that lets me stay Rin Minigawa, but gives her something cute to separate her from Minigawa sensei.

I have character that I would like to use more, but I don't see her fitting in to well with this RP. Her name is Riko, you could probably use that!

Ri as in Rin and the suffix -ko as in girl. The name means "Truth" if I remember the definition correctly, but I might be wrong on that. Anywho! I think it could work.

Riko Minigawa?

Hm.. nickname. Doesn't have the same ring as Riko, but if you combine the first character (in hiragana) of Rin's name with the first two of her last name, you would get 'Rimin'. Not sure how well that works. I'm sure that maybe just Ri-chan might come up as well. Just some initial ideas.

The nickname should be something really absurd, like she came up with it when she was little.

Like...Rin-neko-hime-chan. ☆

Lol kitty princessu!

I thought of a few too, rin would be pronounced lyn with a Japanese accent, so i thought maybe lyn...but i also like riko and ri-Chan, with her new character type, Ri-Chan would really got her. The others i thought of sound nothing like Rin at all like ayumi, yumi, hanuki, azuki, tsubomi, arisa, milla, mina...cute names but....


But riko, that's really good, easily shortened to ri-Chan by friends. :3 love it!

What about songs? For some reason cher comes to mind, her song believe maybe? But that's song is about surviving a break up, which doesn't match her. Anyone know any sweet lyrics about hope, love and strength?

The closest one I can think of is The Gambler by Fun.
