Sign Up/Discussion Iris-shi High School Talent (Idol) Club! Fall/Winter Sessions

While the original Iris-shi High School Talent/Idol Club RP has yet to be finished, I wanted to write down this idea as it's been on my head for some time. So I might as well get the work started, but I doubt it'll start until the original RP is done.

This RP is a spinoff off of my completed Fire Emblem fanfic Preventing Chaos, and also occurs in the school term following the original RP. It also borrows elements from the Fire Emblem/Shin Megami Tensei crossover Tokyo Mirage Sessions. For all I know, I might turn this into a fanfic.

Unlike the original RP, this RP will involve fighting monsters in the alternate reality known as the Halidom. As such, members from the Shepherds club will occasionally assist with the outings (including Chrom, Lissa, Cordelia, and Cherche), and maybe Alear.

Premise

After the success of the Ylisstol High School Talent Idol Club that had been her attention all school term, Robyn was determined to continue the club's activities into the following term. Although this was the last year of her high school career before graduation, she was going to make this last year memorable with the upcoming Harvest Scramble Festival at Aritia's Starsphere Super Arena. Now all Robyn needed was new or returning signups this term to kick off her ambitions to join the Harvest Scramble Festival.

With the troubles of last year well and over (namely, saving the world and practically dying in the process), Robyn could finally enjoy the last year of her school life in peace.

Or so she thought.

Elsewhere in the world, there have been reported incidents of many talented individuals - from comedians to music artists to salesmen - appeared to have lost their talents in an instant, up to the point that - most seriously - people appeared to disappear altogether. One reported incident was an orchestra performance in Gartenstadt where people in an entire theatre just disappeared out of the blue.

And if Robyn thought that was suspicious, she was in for a shock when she found the Fire Emblem in her bedroom. The last time she had seen and used it, the world was in a stage of crisis. Was this a sign that the world needed saving again?

Robyn

Name: Robyn
Stage name: Reflet
Age (14-17): 17 (turning 18)
Birthday: October 20
Casual appearance: Robyn is of average height with long white hair tied up into twintails. She wears a Plegia City School girls uniform with a bow and knee-length socks.
Stage appearance: On stage, Robyn wears a mix of clothes and accessories, with an Ylisstol High sailor uniform plus LED headphones from Anna's, a Meloetta belt from Pixel Dreams, and gloves from Beat Holic.
Bio: Robyn actually originated from an alternate universe in which the only difference was that her male version (Robin) does not exist, leading her to conclude that she and Robin were the same person. The reason she appeared in Robin's world - in what was her second year of high school - was to save Robin's world from that disaster that befell her own (and nearly died in the process).Over time, she developed feelings for Robin - and unsurprisingly Robin felt the same. Now in her third year and still living in Robin's home in not-so-secret, she took up a hobby in leading a school idol talent club to make her third year worthwhile.
Style: Cool
Talent abilities: Singing, playing guitar, dancing
Theme colour: Electric Yellow (#FFFF10)
Weapon of choice: Sword and tome
Embarrassing secret/Internal struggle: The most embarrassing secret Robyn has is maintaining her romantic relationship with Robin - which she tries to keep as private as possible - and reconciling the truth about herself. That is, her origin from a different timeline and parallel world in which she was Robin but as a female. She could only imagine how scandalous it would be if anyone knew about it. Not to mention that she would get flustered whenever her relationship with Robin was brought up or questioned.

Robin

Name: Robin
Stage name: Reflet
Age (14-17): 17 (turning 18)
Birthday: October 20
Casual appearance: Robin has nearly the exact same height as Robyn and also looks like Robyn in practically every way. He wears a Plegia City School boys uniform with a neck ribbon.
Stage appearance: Like Robyn, Robin wears a pair of LED headphones, and a modified version of the Plegia City School uniform with yellow highlights, a loose music-themed t-shirt, and gloves.
Bio: Robin is Robyn's other self, having the same tastes, personalities, interests, and behaviours as Robyn. He was first to help Robyn from the moment she helplessly appeared in his world, and continued to assist her in her mission to save his world (with his friends). He even let her stay at his home! Over time, he developed feelings for Robyn - and unsurprisingly Robyn felt the same. Now in his third year, he continued to let Robyn stay at his home with his younger sister Morgan.
Style: Cool
Talent abilities: Singing, playing guitar, dancing
Theme colour: Plegia Purple (#5A326D) or #A15AA6

@SAF

The weapons options are swords, axes, lances, bows, staves, and tomes. Like the fic, Robyn and Robin will be wielding both sword and tome.

In Nora’s case, if she wants to stick with a non-fighting role, she could wield a staff. Else… I can only see her with a tome, really.

(Me: tries to imagine Nora picking up a two-handed sword and being like, “Uh… I can’t lift this” because the sword is about her height)

 

@SAF

Looks good! Nora still hasn't let go of the orchestra, has she? Wonder how Kai is managing that OTP poll indeed. It would be interesting to see how the club deals with it, especially with his name out there as a school idol.

As for Passion for, I think 'passion' styles can lean towards Smile instead. That said, it looks like this term will miss Nora's birthday for sure.

For the Shepherds' staff users... I can't recall if they had backup weapons since they normally stuck in noncombat roles. So they would be particularly vulnerable (taken directly from Fire Emblem itself)

(That reminds me, I should start uploading my characters' profiles)

 

Now I wonder how he would react if he saw fanfiction or fanart of him and Nora. You would think he would finally lose it.

Also, in this roleplay, would it make sense for either of them (and anyone else joining) to know Robyn's secret that she was isekai-ed? Given Nora is catching onto clues about her and probably noticed that Robyn and Robin look similar and act to begin with. Then again, when they enter the Halidom, it would be impossible to hide anything.

Ah... Right. Never mind I remember someone's birthday was missed along the way.

 

Right right. So it would have been Alex's birthday.

@SAF

Fun fact: was browsing the previous shopping excursion and found Nora's sundress. Almost forgot she had one.

Uploaded most of my characters' profiles in the first post!

 

It looks like a 1x1 is becoming more likely now, which I don’t mind. It’ll be more focused on story writing.

One thing that has to happen is to drop the ball on Nora and Kai about the Halidom and Robyn’s past. Any ideas how to bring that up?

 

What's that? Need more brain power? Perhaps Meru

Or for a more dramatic turn, perhaps one or the other or both actually witness Robyn entering the Halidom and decide to follow her in? Or perhaps they see an incident and survived it?

 

I’m in the process of building the calendar for this RP Any events or activities in mind that you would like to add?

 

@Orange Flavored Car

Actually, I have another idea for the introduction to the Halidom for Nora and Kai. What if Nora was in the middle of an orchestra tryout in Gartenstadt (Naga forbid where she got the motivation to do so) and then she gets caught up in an incident that makes her and her other orchestra mates disappear into the Halidom? Then it becomes a rescue mission which Kai sees Robyn and Robin enter the Halidom and he decides to sneak in behind them.

For the record, I suppose that anyone who disappears in the Halidom is unconscious unless someone wakes them up in there.

 

I'll give him the chance, sure, since it's already a thing in Three Houses and Engage as you say! (I haven't played them yet either...) Obviously, Robyn would prefer it if he had a weapon though, and I suppose Kai will be receiving a lot of bruises.

That said, any thoughts or ideas on the calendar so far? Else, I can continue drafting something.
