It's meme time!
ANIMUS
REINCARNATION MEME
Someone posited a while ago that one of the endings for Animus might involve reincarnating on a new world due to the current lack of bodies the PCs have. I figured "You know what? We've had the Bad (Ganon) End meme, the Good (Zo gets a cookie) End meme, why not a Reincarnation End Meme?
So congratulations! The Virus is destroyed and you are free from the Tower. The catch is that those dead worlds? Stay dead. There is no bringing them back and no returning you to them. So you were given another choice instead of staying in the Tower: the choice of your soul being reincarnated onto a new world and starting a new life. There's no guarantees what sort of life you'll lead or if you'll even wind up on the same world as your friends even if Zo will do his best.
But it sure does beat staying in the Tower for eternity, doesn't it?
Here's some prompts to use as a launching point. Keep in mind, there's are ideas. You can really play out whatever the hell you want in any sort of setting you want.
1). Meeting again
Did you happen to run into one another on the street? Sit next to each other in class? Does the new coworker seem familiar?
2). Known each other your whole lives
You know this person so well it's almost uncanny. It feels like there's a kinship (or animosity) between you that spans lifetimes!
3). Remembering
Have you always been plagued by nightmares of a life you never lived? Does this person you have met trigger dark memories best left forgotten? Or does something as simple as a child's laugh, the Lord's prayer, or the number 37 feel forboding to you? Do you just wake up one day realizing the people around you were your comrades in arms once upon a time? Or do you remain ignorant of the fact?
4). Some things never change
The sky is blue, the grass is green, Ganon will try to take over the world even in a new life, and the heroic ones will still go out to stop him and any other threat to the multiverse.
5). Moving on
Except for those who choose to leave it all behind, to forget, and live their new life out to the fullest.
NOTE: This is opened to dropped characters as well, if anyone wants to screw around with those shenanigans.
OOC: Questions
[AU5] Saber
For a more modern incarnation, she's a university student majoring in history. Specifically, she has a liking for more Medieval fair and the legends of King Arthur. She never could figure out what it was about those legends that drew her in.
[AU9] Claudia Hortensia
...No, she almost certainly is, or at least significantly less scarred and with both eyes intact. More than likely, whatever kind of setting she has been reincarnated into, she's still involved in religion and devotes more energy to others than herself.]
[OU] Avenger
FIEN. 2.
An awesome person whose muse is currently in class, sitting behind a very bored blond as role is taken.]
DON'T U ACT LIKE THAT 2.
It was a miracle he wasn't late to class again.
Except he's so zoomed out he doesn't respond when his name is called during the roll. ]
no subject
Angra, are you all right?
no subject
Huh. . . ? Wha— [ He blearily blinked, belatedly remembered what was going on, and yelled: ] HERE!
[ The teacher glares. Their experiences with punks made them think poorly of Angra. More quietly, to Arturia; ] ... S'fine, really.
4??? something like that
again
you know, like she always does four to five days a week]
no subject
And does his routine response; ]
Go begging to the dumbass, not me. I'm not a charity case.
no subject
Hoh, who said I was begging? "Charity case" implies I care whether or not you want to give me any.
no subject
Haah. I said. Seem pretty accurate to me. Pushy girl. . . My lunch is off-limits from your pilfering, then!
[OU] Veronica
Not like becoming a new person would change who Veronica was on the inside though. She still followed the path of protector, learning all over again what it means to be a bodyguard and protect others from threats. In fact, probably the only difference in the shy teen was the absence of the scars and stitches she always had.]
[OU] Shinji Matou (Extra)
--But, in fairness, he's probably less of a brat than he was originally. You just can't take the obnoxious of of Shinji Matou entirely.
BONUS: Could also be an Actual Teenager for age mismatch-related hilarity.]
[OU] Naoya
[But that doesn't mean that he won't live his life. More historical options involve him being a doctor, or a builder of some sort. Modern options could involve teaching or general technology work. Of course, I'm open to whatever. /o/]
[OU] Minato Arisato
Regardless, he'd have a fondness for music and have an appetite for food. He always seems to be open for spending time with people, no matter who they are.]
[OU] April Sinclair
[OU] Sephiroth
He's the model of a perfect SOLDIER, or the equivalent in this new World at least. Some might even go so far as to call him a Hero, but some part of him can never accept that. He can always do better.
Vivid dreams and terrifyingly realistic nightmares have always been a constant. Sometimes the medication helps him to sleep but he can't afford to dull his senses every night.]
no subject
Sheba has heard lots of things about Sephiroth's exploits in this new world. Who hasn't? People her age were practically raised on the stuff - it just so happened that some of them actually had the chance to meet the people from the stories. As the heroes grew older new heroes had to rise up to take their place, after all; that was the way of the world.
She is one of those "new heroes," or at least the powers that be would like her to be. That's why this meeting has been arranged - for him to check out what she can do and to recommend how she might best put her skills to use. As for her, she looks a little uncomfortable as she approaches, but that's not from intimidation.
It's mostly because she's trying very hard not to make some snarky comment that will piss him off.]
no subject
Though, for all of his legendary stories, despite how Sephiroth fought to keep himself in prime condition - he wasn't getting younger, even if he wasn't aging that obviously either. Wouldn't allow himself to accept that he might be slipping past his prime, ignoring the darker shadows starting to form under his eyes from a lifetime of hardness, the light furrow staring to form between his brows. A new generation was springing up around him and so he had finally conceded; recently the nightmares were blurring the edge of reality for him, now might be the only chance he got to pass on his skills.
As the girl approaches, Sephiroth turns from admiring the scenery outside of the window to thoroughly evaluate the next hopeful by sight alone. For just a fleeting moment he catches deja vu but then banishes it within himself. Though, she still seems familiar, somehow.]
Welcome.
