THE AGE UP/DOWN MEME

Because what the hell we're gonna have fun and do what we want. Something has happened. And somehow your character is now a different age! 

There are two main options: 

• Age down - who likes bitties? We like bitties! Your character is now a child, or at least a few years younger. This can be just a physical or a physical & mental change, or however else you like it.
• Age up - Ever feel like a year or seven just flew by? Well? It kind of did. This one is more freeform - They can have theoretical memories in the Tower if you want, or it just be a physical change, or anything else you can think of. 

As for those replying, feel free to go completely wild - have your character also be affected or not affected or affected in the opposite direction or whatever else you can think of.

And of course, have fun! THAT'S WHAT MEMES ARE FOR.

Reno - aged down! -

[midgarhorizon]

[Aww, it's an adorable redheaded boy playing with some action figures, making "pew pew" noises and explosion "bewm!" sounds]

Hold on, I'm gonna save ya!

[He clashes the figures together, then as a group pretends they run off, and hop in an imaginary helicopter and 'fly' off]

Krresssh! Oh no we're going down!

[And they crash.]

[OU] Riku | Kingdom Hearts (bitty-version)

[birthofdawn]

[Hey, hey, tower! Riku is so not afraid of you! Or whatever else lurks in the outside world. Just so you know.

So yeah, he's possibly looking slightly amazed as he wanders through the floors (very, very unaware of any dangers that might be lurking), and occasionally calls out his best friends' names. They gotta be around somewhere, right?]

No age up or down for my dude.

[hero_of_smiles]

[Whoa, hey there kid, Cross has just seen you wandering towards one of the dangerous floors and is just going to grab you by the shoulder. Gently though. Heroes don't want law suits.]

Hey, you gotta be careful here!

Momotaros | Kamen Rider Den-O | Aged down!

[alwaysataclimax]

[It's a pile of sand, because how the hell does Imagin age even work? Alternatively, running around having possessed a kid.]

[repeatingsun]

[Hi sand pile. There is a freaky couple of trees....moving over to inspect you.]

[OU] Riku | Kingdom Hearts (Blank Points-version)

[dawnsknight]

[This... isn't a place he had expected to return to. Even though he might have only just remembered that he had indeed returned... though the memories aren't all there just yet, it's enough to put him on edge, to curl his hand into a fist and let himself be reassured by the tingle of Way to the Dawn beneath his skin.

Well, first things first. He has quite a few people to check up on after all.]

Hidari Shoutarou | Kamen Rider W | Aged down!

[thisclinchesit]

[One half-boiled kid, running around and trying to protect the other kids! This tower might not be Fuuto, but he still doesn't want anyone to cry, even at this age!]

Legolas - Aged down!

[elfling_prince]

[There's a small, pointy eared boy running along the halls with an appropriately sized bow gripped in his hands and he's wearing some very nice clothes that obviously mean he's someone important.]

[the_white_rider]

[ The White Wizard is just... staring at the boy when he sees him... It couldn't be...? No, it couldn't, really now.

Young Legolas in the tower? nah. Though it was worrying to see such a young elf here REALLY. ]

.... Are you lost?

Lina Inverse | Slayers | Aged up.

[dragonspooker]

[Lina Inverse is now twenty years old, rather than fifteen. Save for a costume change and a better animation team, she looks exactly the same.]

[beknightedheroine]

...Where'd you get the new threads?

Xion | Kingdom Hearts - Aged Down (sort of)

[attheclocktower]

[ooc; Because I'm horribly indecisive, I'm gonna give two options here.]

[Option 1]

[Truth be told you can't really age a one year-old down much further right? Doesn't stop a random effect from trying, and Xion can be found, hood up, sitting next to the book she was reading in one of lounges. Except she's not reading the book. In fact she's not really looking at anything.

If anything it's like she's scaring off into the middle-distance, waiting for someone to tell her to do something.

And that's because that's mostly what she's doing.]

[Option 2]

[In a more conventional aging down, Xion can be found - again in one of the lounge areas, playing with the shells she found in a bag near the book she'd been reading.

She seems to really like them, though occasionally she'll look up and around, almost fearfully, as if looking for someone or something familiar.]

[[ooc; Option one is essentially the equivalent of a canon regression to Day 24-25ish, so Xion's going to have difficulty responding. In Option Two Xion'll recognize close CR/canonmates as familiar for simplicity's sake]]

[OU] Master Xehanort | Aged Down

[capax_infiniti]

[Someone's found their way to the aquarium floor, and is busily batting at the fish in the suspended water in silent amazement.]

Alucard - Aged Down

[fatherssins]

[ And up comes a snotty, spoilt brat of a dhampir who feels it's his place to discipline everyone ever ]

You're not suppose to do that, what's wrong with you, you'll scare them all away!

Hei [AU1] | Darker Than Black | bitty

[fusedstars]

[Hei may have been a bit intimidating in his adult form, and handsome, but right now, he's just a confused cute little kid. And he also has knives by his side and a dull expression on his face. Misery was there, but not for his own situation.]

Bai? Lucy? Harriet? Where are you?

Elian Zigmarl | s-CRY-ed- Aged Up

[absolute_perception]

[Still small in stature except that his shoulders are a bit wider, his face and height hasn't changed from 14 to 20. The biggest difference is his Alter, now matured, his Alter has two forms. One is the customary techno-bubble that he now can control just about everything, the other is a very powerful blast that could knock down buildings from concentrating air pressure by will.

Focused, Elian is now the Ambassador of the Lost Ground. He has taken his father's old position on trying to gain rights for Alter users, Elian took it a step further to establish boundaries toward peaceful co-existence.

Everything about the Tower, he remembers. The friends he has made, the people he has met, the troubles he had, nothing was spared to time.

He stands confident and proud without any sign of regret.]

It appears nothing has really changed.

[A small smile, a lingering thought, he wonders if his friends are still here.]

If they had moved on, it's only natural.

[beknightedheroine]

<sub>[See the adorable kid pictured here on the right?

Yeah, she'll just be plodding about in the aquarium, marveling at cool fish and occasionally reaching out to mess with the free-standing water.

This may be potentially dangerous.]</sub>

1/3

[dragonspooker]

Ken [AU1] - Aged Up!

[summum_ius]

[Ken is curled up in one of the lounges, reading a thick law book. His hair is about the same, but he's tall - almost as tall as Shinjiro. He's thin, though - probably thinner than is healthy, but he still looks in pretty good shape.]

[floreatnoctem]

[Hey guess what? There's a very tiny redhead peering at you unnervingly from overtop a book that's just a little too large to fit in her hands properly. It doesn't seem to stop her from trying to keep a hold of it, even if it does keep slipping as she tries to hide behind it.

Chidori never was a very outgoing little girl.]

Ryoji [AU3] - Aged Down

[thanabro]

[I don't have any icons for this. There's a small boy sitting in the media room, his short black hair mussed. He looks like he's about seven, and he's got a deep scar on his neck. He's trying to reach the headphones, but he's too short, and he sits down and starts crying.]

Minato? Minako? Mommy? Daddy?

[death_awaits_you]

Hi there.

[ It's probably like looking in a mirror, only your mirror image looks a little older and lacks any sort of scar. Also dem pajamas. ]

Jin Shirato [AU1] | Aged Up

[morituramfides]

[He's dead, Jim.]

not sorry

[viditlibertas]

[Sweet, sweet victory!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

Naoya - Aged Down

[crouching_sin]

[Option 1]

[There's a small boy with white hair and red eyes in a school uniform picking through the books in the library. He reaches for a book and takes it back over to a chair, where he curls up with it. Don't mind the seven year old reading The Prince.]

[Option 2]

[There's a man in a brown robe and sandals with brown hair and eyes standing in the forest, looking around. There's a slight smile on his face, and takes a deep breath, walking deeper into it.]

What kind of plants are these? I haven't seen these types yet... were they in the Garden as well?

April Sinclair- Aged Down

[technologic]

[There's one scruffy teenage girl who has taken up residence on one of the tables in the library. And she seems to be reading through any book she can find, even though her shortness means that she can't reach up to the books on the higher shelves.

But that doesn't stop her from trying to read all the books on the lower shelves.]

Zelda | Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time | Aged down!

[noblabbermouths]

[BEHOLD, FELLOWSHIP, YOUR FEARLESS LEADER.

... is current ten years old and wondering what is this. And looking for her ninjamom attendant. She always catches her when she's snuck out of the castle - she must be around here somewhere!]

Impa? Impa, where are you?

[wildfiresage]

[Wait, what is this even - why is Zelda a child again? And without Impa... No, no, this won't do at all.]

Princess!

Kidou Yuuto (OU) Your choice!

[pengeen]

(OPTION 1 - Aged Down)

[Little Yuuto was wandering around the tower, quietly looking around for anyone he knew. Every now and then, he'd call out "Haruna!" or "Kageyama-san!", but his calls were coming unanswered. Eventually, he sits down in the middle of a hallway and stares at the floor, trying not to seem so upset but failing.

It was one thing to be sent to somewhere unfamiliar like an orphanage with your sister, but it was entirely different when you're sent to an unfamiliar tower by yourself. And what was with the collar?

If this six year old was a crier, he'd be sobbing right about now.]

(OPTION TWO - Aged up)

[Though he'll most likely recognize you, you might have a harder time recognizing Kidou. He hasn't changed that much, but it certainly would be hard to realize it was him without his weird goggles or cape, wouldn't it?

Either way, Kidou is walking with his hands in his jacket pockets nonchalantly, looking around. Boy, this place didn't change a bit, did it?]

[OOC: Little Kidou threads will be responded by littlebluepenguin and Adult Kidou threads will be responded by toreina]

Yu Narukami (OU) | Persona 4 - Aged down~

[preludetotruth]

[Hey Tower, did you expect some little kid to be terrified of what you have to offer? If so, then prepare to be disappointed, because someone found the media floor and gives no cares in the universe because video games? Definitely what he's used to doing when he can't find any of his family members. Either they'd find him, or he'll manage on his own.

...That's how it always was, anyway.]

[thanabro]

[Well, have a tiny boy walking up to you, clutching his coat. Don't mind the neck scar. He watches Yu, rocking on his heels while he tries to figure out what to say.]

H... hi.

Kuja - Aged Down

[fallen_stage]

[Option 1]

[Kuja looks very different, to the point of being unrecognizable... Being only eight or so, his hair is short and blond, his tail exposed, and he's dressed more like a Genome and his curves haven't grown in yet.

Right now he's in the study room with a stack of books. Some are cumbersome volumes on magical theory and natural science, but there are a few books on fairy tales and plays. Pretty heavy for a kid, overall.]

[Option 2]

((got some other idea? go for it!))

[happygolucky]

[Zidane is surprised to see another Genome in the tower, and he blinks. This is not something he'd expected to happen. He'd rather no Genomes were here by themselves, but this one seems to be getting along okay so far, though Zidane has a strange feeling about it. He pauses a moment before making his way over, a smile rather than the initial startled look on his face.]

Hey there. Whatcha readin'?

Tatsuya Suou-Aged Down

[red_hawk]

[Oh good god.

There is a very energetic child in a blue and white shirt and shorts who is unable to sit still in the dorm lounge area and...no.

No, no we don't go on the couches and try to do backflips off of them. No...no stop, please.

Why are you making motorcycle noises while you're running around now?

No.

Come back.]

[yellow_owl]

[Someone is trying to keep up.

Someone keeps falling on the floor all the time.]

Naminé [OU] BOTH

[lethechained]

[OPTION A - AGED DOWN]

[Naminé doesn't appear to have changed much physically; she's a year shorter and her face a year rounder, but the main difference is probably the look in her eyes. They're distant but slightly frightened, despite the fact that she seems to be attempting to decipher her location entirely by staring one direction and looking bewildered.]


[OPTION B - AGED DOWN]

[There's a very small little girl wandering the tower, almost dazed but moving slowly along without hesitation. She has no particular goal, but she's easily interested, and will occasionally stop to stare unabashedly at whatever catches her eye.]


[OPTION C - AGED UP]

[Naminé seems to have filled out just a bit in the few years she's suddenly gained, the awkwardness of teenhood fading. She's still just barely above too skinny, still short and slim, but face has matured slightly. Her hair has gotten longer and the hint of a curl that was always there has strengthened, just a little. She still looks a bit out of sorts, but not horribly distressed.]

OU Minato Arisato | Persona 3 | Age down!

[evokingfool]

[There is a young boy. A rather quiet young boy, watching everyone play.]

[preludetotruth]

[> Minato isn't the only one watching.]
[> If he looks over, there is another quiet young boy holding a blue knitted teddy bear.]
[> ...]
[> After a moment, the boy sighs and wanders a bit closer.]
[> What is social interaction???]

Sola - aged...down?....

[repeatingsun]

[AVERT YOUR EYES, there's a tiny eldritch forest in the corner. Like, only a couple of small trees and not quite able to drive people nuts.

They're still weird though.]
