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

"OI! Jounin isn't the marker you should use!" He quieted for a moment, but immediately rallied. "You know people have to recommend for that, and maybe not everyone has people who they think'd do it. Not that I'm not going to have people, they'll be all over that but- Yeah! Just. Yeah."

[ghostpepper]

"Oh? It isn't? I think I'll make whatever marker I want because I don't want to beat up some genin fresh from the Academy into a pulp, y'know. Especially one who doesn't know exactly who they're facing. Or maybe if your sensei thinks you're ready to face me, I'll take his word for it."

Even though he was holding her basket, she had no qualms about reaching over to drop her fist on his head.

He yelped, then gave her a definite pout. "Hey! I didn't say right this second... maybe tomorrow or something!"

[ghostpepper]

"You've got years of hard training to do before you'd even stand a chance of lasting more than a minute against me, y'know! And I'll tell you now, I won't go easy on you."

Boyfriend's student or not, it would be an insult to them both if she held back more than she had to. Not that she intended to tell him that part.

"Then I'll just have to work up to a minute! Don't underestimate me like that!" He huffed at her, shifting the basket in his grip.

[ghostpepper]

"Only working up to a minute? That'll get you nowhere fast. Aim for five and then maybe you'll last forty seconds."

It was way too easy to pick on him and she couldn't bring herself to regret it.

"Hey! Working up to a minute doesn't mean I won't start near one, and don't tell me how to train! I know how to set goals!"
