Hello Futurology. My name is Nin, I'm fresh meat and I bring with me a dainty delicate flower by the name of Edna from the JRPG Tales of Zestiria. She is as bright as her color scheme may indicate, the perfect loving imouto any oniichan can wish for, and a well-behaved lass on her way to become a lady of utmost class.

...By which no, aside from her name and canon, only one of the things above is true (kinda at least, as in canon has never proven the contrary...). Forget roses, she's about as prickly as a pine tree, and as an Earth Seraph, she's as tough as a rock. On her list of most disliked things include humans, and that umbrella of hers isn't just for looks, to say the very least.

Her app is in her journal. I'll set up a crit/contact post shortly as I don't use Plurk. Feel free to use that or PM this journal if you need to get in contact with me, I have a busy-ish work schedule but should respond to messages relatively quickly.

Thanks for having me, and looking forward to get started!

Hai Nin! Welcome to Futuro! I'm Caprica and I have this here History Nerd and another Magical Girl (Sakura Kinomoto, from CLAMP's Cardcaptor Sakura). Looking forward to cr with the tsun and adorable Earth bff.

It's nice to meet you Caprica! Also please allow me to apologize for the thread over at dear_player... I had fun and it helped voicetest, but Edna being Edna...

It's a pleasant surprise, nevertheless. I had a hunch, but it'll still be nice to be able to thread with your Sorey again. Also don't think it'll be wise to introduce Edna to any magical girls. She'll very possibly try to convince Alisha into becoming one...

Heh, right? I knew I was potentially getting a couple of others in the cast but I approve of Edna, and also enjoyed our voice testing.

'Alisha, you need to do the henshincarena.....' I can see it now. Edna no. Plz not to be infinite-looping the ex-Squire again.

Look be glad it's not the Puella Magi variant... Edna promises nothing and therefore neither can I. This is surely what you're here for, right Sorey...

Now that you mention it. I am just starting on watching Madoka too.

Sorey is here to try have some semblance of control over his seraph bffs, yes. Clearly this is it. How would ALASTAIR manage otherwise....

Welcome to the game! I'm Gore, and I play two characters here now: Steven Universe from the show of the same name and Dick Gumshoe from Ace Attorney! I haven't played Zesty yet despite being a Tales fan, but I know the basics about Edna and am excited to play with her! I hope you have a great time here!

Thank you, and it's nice to meet you, Gore! I'm canon familiar with both, actually trudging through AA2 from the original trilogy these days during transit. You play the cute and the purehearted... Don't make me feel bad, Gumshoe is way too much bully material ;;

Zesty had a really good cast! But is... not really up to par with the rest of the franchise, not as a Tales game, and I'm a long time fan too. ~~So I for one don't think you're missing out on much~~ Buut I'll sweep my 2 cents back under the rug, and yes. I'm excited to play with your lovable dorks too!

You're welcome! I'm glad you approve of both, and yes I suppose that's one aspect of my character type, haha... I'll try not to make you feel too guilty though!!

And ah no worries, I think I've heard a few opinions to that effect. I'll still probably give it a try myself one of these days! (First I have to at least finish Xillia 1) But yes, all the excitement!!

It's a good recipe for shenanigans honestly, so we'll manage somehow, I'm sure!

Yeah it's... The sort of thing Tales fan do need to experience firsthand, aha. I just finished X1 the second half of last year myself, so I totally understand being late on the bandwagon. Good luck once you do play Z! You'll need it, I think...

Yes, yes we will!

And haha yes, I see. For me it's also partly because I don't have any Playstations so I have to slowly play during visits to my friend's house. But I'll make my way through eventually!

Hi Nin! My name's Nami and I play Julius from God Eater 2. Welcome to Futurology! Hope you have a fun time here. Edna looks cute btw

I'll pm you for plots sometime yeah!!

God Eater... I've only seen eps from season 1 and the GE DLC is actually one of the things in Zestiria I'm looking forward to, so maybe some shenanigans can be pulled even if I'm not canon familiar.

Nice to meet you, Nami! And yes Edna is as cute as a button until one strikes up a normal ("normal") conversation with her... Be strong, Julius.

The God Eater anime looks so nice. Yes please look forward to it!!If you're going to top level for this even I will hit you up.

Do you have any log plans? And he'll be strong!

Based Ufotable...

I did top level, will hit people up too once I have more free time. Let's just roll with the punches and see what happens? I'd love to see where things go!

Hi Nin! Welcome to the game, I'm Luna and I play Kida! Also a long-time Tales fan who hasn't played Zesty yet--don't own a PS4. :c

Looking forward to playing with you!!

Hello Luna! Not canon familiar but she looks really cool, looking forward to thread with you as well!

Again, to me Zesty is a mixed bag, and from one Tales fan to another, it's not a game I can recommend you get at full price. It's also on Steam though, so if you have a controller (optional) and a usable gaming PC, maybe there? Steam sales happen pretty often too, so those would be good times to snag it if you can.

Hey, I appreciate the rec! I'll definitely check that out.

As for Kida, she's from Disney's Atlantis: the lost empire. Spoiler alert, they find the titular ~lost empire~, of which Kida is the princess! She's eight thousand years old and some change, but having been quite sheltered in all that time, she doesn't really come across as 'old and wise'; Atlanteans just age and mature really, really slowly.

The film is less songs, more explosions, very Jules Verne all around. If you like the steampunk aesthetic, you'll love it. (Plus it's on Netflix!)

And as morning comes I realize my huge brain fart, it's on PS3 too and that's where I played it (you do get attachment bonuses when the game detects save data from ToG, ToSC, ToX, and ToX2, something I'm not sure the PC can offer). Berseria will be PS4/PC only, even if it's going to see a PS3 release in Japan. Sigh...\

But ooh, Netflix. That's easily accessible, and I do admit I miss the older Disney animations compared to all the new stuff like Tangled/Frozen they're churning out. I'll hopefully be able to check it out soon!

Atlantis is from the same era that created Treasure Planet and Lilo and Stitch and other misunderstood Disney films. They were just testing the implementation of CGI at the time--you'll see some (surprisingly well-aged) integration of 3D graphics in the film. It's hardly groundbreaking storytelling-wise, but if you do watch it, I hope you enjoy it!

I'm canonblind, but she looks super cute! c: Nice to meet you & welcome!

She looks very cute yes but her personality is a lot less... At least she doesn't judge others on appearances. No promises about comments, though.

Thank you!

Hey, Nin! I'm Wind, also fresh meat. Perhaps Edna and King here can be humans suck buddies.

Hello Wind, it's nice to meet fellow fresh meat! She is always down to shittalk humans, unfortunately it's not limited exclusively TO humans. I'm canonblind to the Seven Deadly Sins, but I did see it drifting on Netflix, so maybe someday.

Haha, s'all good! King is a dumb fairy who doesn't trust humans because they kind of suck, but he hangs out with them anyway. If all else fails, they can shittalk to each other about each other.

Mikleo's going to be a combination of "oh, god" and happy to see her.

!!!!!

I keyworded this icon just for you, Meebo. Aren't you grateful?

By which I mean same here, by which Edna means "oh, good. ~~Favorite bully material~~ Party members to stave boredom away with!"

Please allow me to apologize in advance, we all know where this is going (i.e. nowhere good for Mikleo)...

they haven't even interacted in game yet and he's already being grieved smh

No, omg don't apologize... I'm so excited for Edna + Mikleo interactions...

tfw it's also her only smiling icon, but while she looks cute, this is only true in the eyes of the canonblind. Because anyone who's played Zesty knows it's her shit eating grin when she just said something awful...

Thank you for understanding... Their dumb exchanges are definitely among my favorite things in the actual game, I'm really hyped for more ~~bullying~~ in a panfandom setting!! SPEAKING OF WHICH I know networks are down right now, but Edna is 100% ready to blast Mikleo for his username. wtf are you thinking you baby using your REAL SERAPHIC NAME for all these SHITTER HUMANS to see? I will be honest this is still not 100% clear to me (Zesty sure was good at giving out cool details and explaining them yeah) but it did feel like a 'private' thing that Seraphim don't go around just telling anyone, at least AFAIK Can we do something about that once they're not rained on by fire...

Idm!! But I was going to change it to seraph, too....

But, yeah! Mikleo and Edna also have my favorite interactions, so I'm also super pumped for this. OwO

That is a very wise idea! It's up to you then, Edna would definitely confront Mikleo if she noticed him using his Seraph name. On one hand, less on our plate and no picking on right away. On the other, bullyblasting Meebo...

...Yeah it wouldn't sound attractive to Mikleo no matter how it's framed, so you can decide? :D;

Alisha's ready for the squirrelcarena...

But ahh, I'm excited to see your Edna here!! Our thread at D_M was a lot of fun haha. Anyways, I'm Kaye, and it's nice to meet you, Nin. Welcome to the game!

Did you master the Normincarena though

And being in a panfadom game is just going to give her more ideas.

I'm sorry, Alisha...

But yes hi Kaye! Thanks for the welcome, your Alisha is a qt. I'm looking forward to more threads in actual game too!

...but her colour scheme really is so moe, no, anime typecasting, don't fail me now...

Edna sounds great - looking forward to threading with her. And welcome to the game!

She canonly scares off a Minotaur like 4-5 times her size with just a glare, don't be fooled... Thought she'll be okay with it, she just doesn't try very hard to hide what she's actually like.

I'm looking forward to have her mingle too, thank you!

Hey hey! I'm Caleb and I only play this regrettable loser here, Barry Allen. Just kind of looking a bit forward to adding to his pile of regrets, especially with the human disliking thing.

yeah

Oh no Barry. Lots of bad things happen to him in canon already, do you really need to add "gets insulted by a little girl who looks 11" to that list...

Thanks for the welcome, and looking forward to threading with you too!

welcome to the game, nin!! gosh we have a lot of zestirias how did that even happen... i am woefully canonblind, but edna still looks like a total cutiepie but i cannot wait to see her step on everybody, tbh. anyhoo, i'm lena and i play olivia from fe:a!

I have no idea but I can definitely live with this...

She is a total qtpie who just happens to like stepping on people, metaphorically ~~at least~~. Thank you Lena, and FE:A was great, I'm highly looking forward to Fates!

fe:a is one of the few games i ever played, and even then it was only because everyone marketed it to me as "shipping: the game"... ah well. i'm looking forward to seeing edna around for sure! :D

oh gosh she looks really cute though, tries to imouto her anyway

and by that i mean hello, welcome to the game, Nin c:! i'm nu, i play lancer from the fate/ series -- nice to meet you!

Imouto at your own ~~risk~~ discretion... Lancer would remind Edna of Zaveid too and that's uh, not the greatest thing...

Thank you for the welcome, Nu! I remember reading FSN years back, it was pretty good and Ufotable did a nice job animating it. Nice to meet you too, I'm excited to get started!

From what's written here I suspect that Edna's patience for Mabel's eternal sugar rush would be non-existent but what is life without a little strife?

Welcome to the game! I'm Kabby and I'm playing this peanut from Gravity Falls. Hope to see you around!

That's perfectly fine her patience/tolerance for humans in general is a fragile, fragile thing. At least Mabel is an actual little girl and not a dumb grown teenager/adult that act like they're still children... She'll deal. Just please don't be gullible... The world doesn't need more people versed in the Squirrelcarena (a dance(???) that's about as legit as it sounds), for one.

Thank you Kabby, it's nice to meet you, and likewise!
