emp/atp meme

[futurologists]

WHO ARE YOU? Welcome! If you're here, you're interested in applying to Season 2 of Futurology. Please take a moment to review our FAQ and main navigation for further information about the game. This is an EMP/ATP meme, meant for current and prospective players to chat about their upcoming plans, or to see if anyone is interested in playing your sought after castmate or crosscanon favorite. You can also use this to brainstorm your character's specialization or incentives. (But please do run your incentives by the mods in our incentive workshop if you're not certain it's allowed!) For your convenience, we have created the forms below, but they are not required. ENABLE ME PLEASE <blockquote><span style="background-color:#000; padding:3px;color: #fff;text-align:left;font-size:20px;font-weight:bold;">CHARACTER NAME (CANON)</span><span style="font-family:arial;"><dd> <b>▸ SPECIALIZATION:</b> Include possible specialization plans here; if you'd like input on what specialization you could give them, you can also put that here. <b>▸ INCENTIVE:</b> Include possible incentive plans here; if you'd like input on what incentive you could give them, you can also put that here. <b>▸ OTHER:</b> Anything else you have to say!

Do not bully or otherwise intimidate someone else for their character choices. ▸ SCHEDULE DEC 15 TEST DRIVE MEME ▸ The first TDM of S2 will be released. It will be game canon.

[datapoint]

ALOY (HORIZON ZERO DAWN)

▸ SPECIALIZATION: Inventor or.... literally any of the other ones, idk lmao. Does anyone have any suggestions :| They could all work, help!!
▸ INCENTIVE: SPOILERS for a later incentive, but I'll app her from an earlier canon point to begin with and have her wanting to find out who Sobeck is :')
▸ OTHER: (i'm theresa, hi)

[akg]

i'm canonblind as heck and therefore no help whatsoever, but i think inventor + bruiser could be a pretty fun combo if she's got a well-roundedness to her!!

mostly i just wanted to comment that i like her face (this is nu)

[tenthousandmiles]

Ginko (Mushishi)

▸ SPECIALIZATION: Sentinel, probably, with a potential secondary as Inventor.
▸ INCENTIVE: Possibilities would include finding out a more efficient way to seal the Forbidden Mushi or getting a complete research archive of all known mushi in his world. Open to other suggestions, also! The only thing I don't want to do is fix the problem where he attracts mushi wherever he goes.
▸ OTHER:

[refashioned]

VERONICA LODGE (RIVERDALE)

▸ SPECIALIZATION: Negotiator is my preference (with cutting words) with Sentinel as the second choice.
▸ INCENTIVE: An altruistic attempt at taking over Lodge Industries, though this depends on reveals coming up.
▸ OTHER:

[drivein]

I GUESS!!!!!!!!

[fuchsiative]

CLARICE FONG / BLINK (THE GIFTED)

▸ SPECIALIZATION: b...ruiser???
▸ INCENTIVE: probably something to do with the mutant underground...
▸ OTHER: also unsure about canon point lmao yolo

[claro]

hey girl hey
i'm probably going to test drive this guy!! indecisive about apps but he's a maybe

[akg]

FUTABA SAKURA (PERSONA 5)

▸ SPECIALIZATION: I was thinking Inventor or Sentinel, she's your stock support character that's actually a wet noodle, just let her fly around and provide commentary about your team's battle performance in peace
▸ INCENTIVE: I probably wouldn't take her from end-game, so I'm considering something that'd help her find a lead on her mother's circumstances and research, though I'd probably push for a more moralistic goal as well? Basically, I'm thinking something that'd push her to keep going in a difficult situation and force her to interact with people as opposed to wanting to hide in a dark corner and cry
▸ OTHER: i made this journal about 20 seconds ago so my plans are absolutely not set in stone! i play yusuke elsewhere, so he's my more established option, but i could possibly pick up haru as well? basically my life is p5, please help

[heritors]

yes

[undeserved]

2B (NIER)

▸ SPECIALIZATION: bruiser. she gotta be a bruiser.
▸ INCENTIVE: i'm not sure yet! keeping 9S safe maybe but that feels like a lame answer and/or a bad answer considering some canon things... i'm open to suggestions this is literally the first time i've looked at s2 information so THAT'S STRAIGHT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD... i'll keep thinking about it!!
▸ OTHER: hi i'm sib, i played melan (ninmu) here waaaay back when the game first opened and now i'm maybe coming back with yet another robot who's bad with feelings BLAME ANAIS

[pummelling]

SIB!!!!!!!!!!!

[lancings]

Cordelia (Fire Emblem: Awakening)

▸ SPECIALIZATION: I'd say bruiser for her since her strength stat is pretty high, and she can hit like a truck when she needs to.
▸ INCENTIVE: a date with Chrom? I mean, she'd just be fine helping people for the sake of helping, so long as she got to go back at the end to her own world. Other than that, she'd be interested in weapon and power upgrades or supplies for everyone.
▸ OTHER:

[heritors]

cordelia!!!! i'm so excited, i need to play warriors so i can cry over their supports. . . .

[totallywhipped]

TREVOR BELMONT (NETFLIX CASTLEVANIA)

▸ SPECIALIZATION: Bruiser, obviously, but with possibilities for inventor on the sheer basis of having way too much knowledge about things that go bump in the night.
▸ INCENTIVE: GOTTA STOP DRACULA. GOTTA SAVE THE PEOPLE OF WALLACHIA. GOTTA LEARN HOW TO SPELL THESE THINGS!
▸ OTHER:


I also don't actually know more about Castlevania past Netflix but that's ok fam it's basically an introductory crash course for all of us

[pummelling]

rips off my fucking shirt i lOVE NETFLIX CASTLEVANIA BRING ME THIS MAn

[eyedrop]

SHOUTA AIZAWA (MY HERO ACADEMIA)

▸ SPECIALIZATION: Definitely Bruiser!! Negotiator would be a distant second, but really, given the choices, he fits the fighty types best. He is a superhero, after all ...
▸ INCENTIVE: INFORMATION ON THE UA TRAITOR.
▸ OTHER:


here he comes!! a tired taciturn teacher, for all your needs in those categories

[heritors]

i still enjoy how tired he looks, i hope ur ready for cute cr

[enblightened]

VARUS (LEAGUE OF LEGENDS)

▸ SPECIALIZATION: 100% Bruiser. He'd be terrible at anything else.
▸ INCENTIVE: Attempting to slow his corruption.
▸ OTHER:

[fourscores]

touches dat hair

[chills]

JACK FROST (RISE OF THE GUARDIANS)

▸ SPECIALIZATION: Sentinel or Bruiser ... I'm leaning a little more towards Sentinel.
▸ INCENTIVE: To be visible (either through tech/magic/someone just spreading the word) probably??
▸ OTHER:

[eyedrop]

c'mon over frosty not-child

[ofobedience]

Aerith Gainsborough (FFVII Compilation)

▸ SPECIALIZATION: Sentinal, obvs!
▸ INCENTIVE: I have no idea yet as I'm still very tentative about trying to play her, but I would be open to discussion and hearing ideas about it if anyone wants to chip in!!
▸ OTHER: I haven't picked a canon point yet, which would be a useful step in picking an incentive. Basically I'd be taking her from either some time before she dies, or end game of FFVII but before Advent Children. Help me decide! I've never played anyone dead before haha.

[eyedrop]

aww aerith would be very cute!

[fingerbang]

LUST (FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST)

▸ SPECIALIZATION: Negotiator, almost certainly!
▸ INCENTIVE: yeah so i just typed like two hundred dumb words about stuff that I should really just take to the incentive workshop if I decide to app, then deleted them all, but the long and short of it is something that'll give her her regenerative abilities back after a post-death canon point.
▸ OTHER: Hey, guys! I'm the rando who played Jasper here for a hot second a year ago, and I'm definitely planning on reapping within the next few months -- maybe not necessarily with this asshole, though rn she's the most likely. Other characters I've thought about are mid-s2 Helena and post-finale Rachel Duncan from Orphan Black, who'd probably be a bruiser and another negotiator, respectively, or Thomasin from the horror movie The Witch, and I have no idea what her specialization would be... idk, if you have opinions I would love to hear them! this could have been a gif but instead i decided to word vomit you're all welcome

[eyedrop]

i'd love a little witch girl BUT THE OTHERS ARE COOL TOO!! we can also anime together, for the first time

[khoroshoujo]

Eli Ayase (Love Live!)

▸ SPECIALIZATION: torn between Negotiator and Sentinel. Negotiator due to the fact that Eli is/was the Student Council President and it seems like a no-brainer for her, but Sentinel because is is very much one of the "Mom" types of the group and while levelheaded she is also very warm and caring when you get to know her.
▸ INCENTIVE: DEPENDS???? I'm leaning towards apping her from S1 where the incentive can easily be "Help stop her school from closing" but otherwise I'm undecided.
▸ OTHER: This is a very tentative EMP because I'm not sure what the coming few weeks will bring for me RL-wise, but I've been wanting to app to Futurology for awhile, and having heard about S2 I initially was thinking about bringing Allura from VLD in. But I think I'm suffering from canon burnout with her. I've also been wanting to play a Love Live! character and since the canon is so slice-of-life I feel a mission based sci-fi/fantasy game would be fun.
Another character I was considering would be Sunset Shimmer from MLP: Equestria Girls but I've already embarrassed myself enough tbh.

[fingerbang]

wow who could this possibly be

[reposing]

ADRIAN "ALUCARD" TEPES (CASTLEVANIA)

▸ SPECIALIZATION: Bruiser or diplomat. Alucard is disgustingly strong, but also incredibly eloquent.
▸ INCENTIVE: Gettin' stronger or having an advantage in beating up dad.
▸ OTHER: hi it's alba. i'm pretty familiar with the castlevania games, but this would definitely be the netflix incarnation.

[totallywhipped]

put on a shirt ffs

[diamondhack]

ISHA DEVAN (OC)

▸ SPECIALIZATION: Inventor and negotiator, ofc, because that's what happens when you're a genius level blackmailer and hacker
▸ INCENTIVE: I have no idea... I was here 2.5 seconds but I can't come up with anything besides "she's the only one probably capable for the job and she'll do it so no one else will do it because she secretly cares" or some shit?
▸ OTHER: it's lina I was here an entire 2.5 seconds before life happened and I am debating on this one atm... her good boy robotic greyhoudn Q-11 will be around tho ofc

[pummelling]

You know i love her........... I wanna try again at cr with these two if you pick her over trevor

[ceruleo]

LANCE (V:LD)

▸ SPECIALIZATION: Negotiator or Sentinel!
▸ INCENTIVE: SWEATS NERVOUSLY I don't know yet...I'll need to figure this out and probably take some questions to the Incentive Workshop! But right now I'm thinking of some kind of avenue of communication/revenue stream for his family on Earth. If anyone has cool ideas, let me know!
▸ OTHER: Lance is coming in from the end of S3/early S4, after he's had time to lay out his insecurities with Keith but before Shiro takes back the Black Lion. I LOOK FORWARD TO HAVE HIM HIT ON EVERY GIRL.

[selfimage]

are you ready for confusing encounters with loki

[hothead]

KATSUKI BAKUGO (MY HERO ACADEMIA)

▸ SPECIALIZATION: Bruiser!!
▸ INCENTIVE: TO BE THE VERY BESt. Something related to his guilt over another hero's "early retirement", but he'd probably frame it as needing to get stronger so he can fix his own problems. Also just because it's heroic, maybe ??
▸ OTHER:

[eyedrop]

stares down 24/7, IC and OOC

[opensup]

ROHAN KISHIBE (JOJOS: DIU)

▸ SPECIALIZATION: Negotiator more than likely! I debated Inventor because of his creativity but he's an artist and not a technological person so I don't think that would work out for him.
▸ INCENTIVE: Discovery, frankly. He doesn't have any burning desires, at least none that Hathaway could reasonably fulfill, so for him it's about learning new things that he can feed into his creative output. Honestly he'd just ask if he could create a manga about his experiences and publish it (while changing anything that he has to on Hathaway's request) but I'd pose that feasibility to the mods if I decide to app him.
▸ OTHER: MANGA IS ART.

[digiorno]

if you app i am so excited for the extremely functional friendship that will surely blossom

ps steals koichis luggage Again

[theseuschip]

SIMON JARRETT (SOMA)

▸ SPECIALIZATION: Sentinel, probably, potentially with Negotiator as secondary. Post-apocalyptic mad science toilet garbage horror wastelands are rife with delicate conversations with distraught/suffering/hostile/confused people. On the other hand, Bruiser is also both the least appropriate and kind of the most???
▸ INCENTIVE: BLAGFLGAN OLD BODY (doesn't really matter what it's made of, just look and act like the real thing), which would most likely be changed to something... a little less.... short-sighted..... later on (launching the ARK? New, functional synthetic bodies to plunk all those brain scans of PATHOS-II's personnel into so they can rebuild the facilities and stand a chance against the WAU and its lumpy bois? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
▸ OTHER: Hi I've been out of DWRP for so long it's embarrassing to try and enumerate. I want a place and you may or may not want a time-traveling zombie robot with the soul of some nerd. This could be the start of a beautiful partnership.

[pummelling]

im super canonblind but "post-apocalyptic mad science toilet garbage horror wasteland" is my BRAND tbqh so i would love to see a character like simon in game!!!! as for specializations, since i also had a bunch of options i just chose what i thought would give me the most fun gameplaywise without rehashing cr things i didnt wanna re-write out :|a

[quantumcode]

Matt Holt (V:LD)

▸ SPECIALIZATION: Inventor, definitely. He's all about science and the power of the human mind. Sort of waffling between Negotiator and Sentinel as a secondary
▸ INCENTIVE: Getting his dad back safely, probably something involving the war effort back home? WORKING ON IT...
▸ OTHER: This kid is an embarrassing dork tbh

[correcting]

BLAKE BELLADONNA (RWBY)

▸ SPECIALIZATION: Bruiser for sure! Might also dabble in negotiation later.
▸ INCENTIVE: Depends on the canon point! It will most likely be some request with helping take back the White Fang (a formerly peaceful organization currently lead by terrorists). She may also not need much of an incentive if I take her from an earlier canon point, in which she just wants to get away from everything, haha... (she doesn't deal well with problems, but she's learning to!!)
▸ OTHER:

[chumville]

SHELDON PLANKTON (THE SPONGEBOB MUSICAL)

▸ SPECIALIZATION: Inventor is a pretty good fit here, honestly. Possibly negotiator as a secondary, but inventor is the priority.
▸ INCENTIVE: THE KRABBY PATTY SECRET FORMULA
▸ OTHER: yes, really
