THE ACADEMY AGE MEME

The Academy Age Meme



"No, you can't eat yourself if you henge into a bowl of ramen, go sit back down"


Ah yes, another long-awaited Sunshineverse meme!

As the name suggests, this meme is fairly straightforward: bring out the cute academy aged icons, because we'll be playing everyone as their young, academy aged selves! This time it's pretty straightforward, but here's a step by step anyway.

Step one: Post a top level comment with your character's name and affiliation at the time of their academy training. You should probably include their age--again, at the time they'd be in the academy--along with it. If, for whatever reason, your character didn't go to a ninja academy, probably just post them as a child around the time other kids would have been in the academy

Step two: Given the nature of this meme, you may want to include a scenario or two for people to tag into, but otherwise, it's a good idea to include relevant information people will need if they tag your character. If during their childhood they refused to leave trees, preferred to henge into a puddle to make people slip on them, or killed people indiscriminately, these are good things for people to know.

Step three: Tag to others, and relive your high school Academy days!

NOTE: Ages in this meme are synched up. That means school-kid Karin won't be able to kick it with school-kid Kushina. But! A school-kid Karin could end up interacting with a somewhat younger than current canon Kushina!

BONUS NOTES!

1: Although it isn't required to, all tags and threads in this meme can absolutely count toward actual in-game history for the characters involved!

2: Threads that count for history also count for activity! Just like the test drive meme, if the threads count for history, they also count for activity

3: Don't forget the NPC journal! This is a great opportunity to interact with dead/distanced/etc characters that would still be around or would be prominently involved with the history of your characters, and that's what this NPC journal is there for! Use it!

4: Most important - Have fun, you cute little ninja terrors

For a few long moments she paused, thinking hard on it before Adela reached forward and hugged Rin tightly. She didn't want her new friend to be sad, but she couldn't help that the elders were stupid and mean. It didn't take her long to mumble, quiet even in the rain -- maybe Rin heard her, maybe he didn't, but she wanted him to know something even if he was gonna go home alone.

"Thanks for bein' my friend, Rin-kun..."

He most certainly heard her. The simple phrase was enough to turn his little frown right side up again. He hugged her back, holding on just as tightly. It was partially to try and get her a little more warm, and partially because - because he didn't want to forget what it felt like to actually hug a friend before going their separate ways.

"You too, Adela! ...You'll still be my friend tomorrow."

"You'll be mine too, Rin-kun," She smiled for him then, shivering a little less but still cold and wet. Even so... She was happy just to be there with Rin then. Even if the rest of the day was kind of poor, having him there made up for it. They'd be best friends forever, she was sure of it.
