I haven't heard any of those! I'll have to search them up when my Mac isn't on 7% battery '^^ Personally, I find that you can't go wrong with Studio Ghibli. As soon as I'm not broke, I swear Tea comes first

Oh, if you're looking into the Ginga series, be warned. I enjoyed both animes and I've actually started reading the manga recently. At least the (pretty good) fan-translations. But both the anime and the manga have their issues. There aren't many good female characters (it's...worse than it sounds in that regard), the manga has a lot of toilet-humor (hate it) and GDW has a... pretty weird character: Hiro the ball-snatcher. As much as I like Ginga these things have always bothered me. It's still a fun anime, at least in my opinion, and I really love a lot of the characters. Lots of violence and death though ^^ You can find both GNG and GDW on Youtube. The latter is fully subbed, the former isn't. There is a fully subbed version of GNG but it's a censored version. Many scenes are missing because of that and it makes things really confusing.
Tea can't be used in battle though! What, our characters are gonna pour boiling hot tea over their enemies? What a waste! Or maybe they have a tea party with them? Now that sounds like fun!

Ginga is the dog anime, right :0 I think I watched a few episodes of it a while back. And speaking of persona, Royal was super fun!! I love the changes they made. I wanna play Strikers SO BAD.

Yup, that's the one. GNG is about a bunch of dogs gathering more comrades to take down some bears and in GDW the big bad is another dog and his army instead. Alright, I get it. Royal is great and I should play it. Oh, and is Strikers any good? So far I've only played the main games so Strikers wasn't on my radar at all but if it's a good game I might give it a try. And I finally figured out my characters' preferred tea blends xD I gave everyone 1-3 favorites. None of them loves Mint Leaves though. I'm ashamed of my OCs now Nora - Tea of the Saints, Seiros Tea, Sweet-Apple Blend Vincent - Dagda Fruit Blend Agnar - Albinean Berry Blend, Honeyed-Fruit Blend, Cinnamon Blend Callan - Leicster Cortania, Lavender Blend, Crescent-Moon Tea Julius - Tea of the Saints, Dagda Fruit Blend, Four-Spice Blend Akakios - Sweet-Apple Blend, Honeyed-Fruit Blend, Albinean Berry Blend Jasmine - Ginger Tea, Almond Blend Konstantin - Four-Spice Blend, Crescent-Moon Tea I love how Julius and Akakios don't even share one preference. While they have different taste in food and gift items too there are at least a few things they have in common. So either Akakios won't drink tea with other people or he has to force himself to drink the stuff he hates. And Vincent, who doesn't actually like tea, can only tolerate one blend xD Not that any if it really matters, just something I'll try to keep in mind. And since you're so obsessed with tea I wanna know which blends your characters like, Sussuru

Strikers looks really fun from what I've seen! It's a Warriors-style game, right? Kinda like Fire Emblem Warriors which I have played. I was planning to play it after Royal since Strikers is supposedly a direct sequel to vanilla P5, but with my long list of games I need to play, who knows? ;P
...You know what's funny? I'm not even a huge fan of tea. I vastly prefer it to coffee and yet I only ever drink the iced variety. Yes, I know, not very British of me. That said, here are my character's preferences!
Fion - Chamomile, Angelica and Crescent-Moon Tea Rieka - Albinean Berry Blend (doesn't like hot drinks so lets it go cold) Grimm - Serios Tea and Rose Petal Blend Estelle - Honeyed-Fruit Blend, Sweet-Apple Blend and Bergamot Tea Adora - Tea of the Saints and Dagda Fruit Blend Philomel - Mint Leaves, Cinnamon Blend and Leicster Cortania (likes all tea though)
By the way, did anyone want to start setting up any romances? I think most will end up developing on their own, but I figured I'd ask anyway just in case anything needs adding to the front.

But speaking of romances, what's everyone's orientation? Not that I would mind some characters having one-sided crushes thanks to incompatible orientations but maybe it's something we should still keep in mind. I'm not even sure about all of them. I know Nora and Agnar are gay, Vincent is bi, Callan is demi/pan, Julius is demi/bi, Akakios is panromantic asexual and Jasmine is straight. Oh wow, and only now I'm realizing only two of my characters are straight xD The other one is Konstantin, not that it matters though.
Sussuru Are you going to write a short explanation for each month like you did for the Great Tree Moon or would you like to use the game's actual explanation/introduction (the ones at the beginning of each chapter for Part One of the game) for the months instead? Because I kinda found something. If you want to use those just say the word and I'll post them. For now I'll just post the one for the Great Tree Moon. Decide for yourself which one you want to use: the one you already have or the 'official' one.
The icy winds of the Oghma Mountains have begun to scatter, and the verdant fields once again spring to life across Fódlan, heralding the start of a new year. As they celebrate the dawning year, the people pray that they may realize their full potential, just as a tiny sprout hopes to one day grow into a great tree.

I'm not 100% sure either, but I'm going to say that Estelle and Rieka are straight, Adora and Grimm are bi and Fion is gay.
How about using both? My description focuses more on whatever event(s) happens at the end of the month. The 'official' one is nice, cultural flavour text so I can just add it alongside.

That's even better! Alright, here you go: Great Tree Moon The icy winds of the Oghma Mountains have begun to scatter, and the verdant fields once again spring to life across Fódlan, heralding the start of a new year. As they celebrate the dawning year, the people pray that they may realize their full potential, just as a tiny sprout hopes to one day grow into a great tree.
Harpstring Moon In honor of the saints whose births or deaths took place under this moon, the people perform music once beloved by those divine beings. Whether by harp, flute, or voice alone, joyous melodies are shared between farmers as they seed their seeds across the vast plains of Tailtean and Gronder.
Garland Moon When the warm winds blow from the sea to the south of Adrestia, residents of Fódlan know that the rainy season is upon them. Before the heavy rains take their toll, the young women hurry to pick the last of the white roses. The ivory buds are woven into garlands and given as gifts to close friends or potential lovers.
Blue Sea Moon As the sun grows stronger and the nights grow ever shorter, the Blue Sea Star returns to the sky once more. Believed to be the goddess's home, her followers look to the star and commence celebrations of her rebirth. On the grounds of Garreg Mach Monastery, a grand ceremony is held in honor of this much anticipated event. Every true follower of the Church of Seiros is sure to be in attendance.
Verdant Rain Moon The ceaseless rains that satiate the verdant landscape of Fódlan are accompanied by the fierce winds and mighty roars of thunder. This abundance of rain, sparkling as it falls against beams of emerging sunlight, is a constant reminder to the people of Fódlan that nature is ever wild and unpredictable. For when the rain finally does pause, the clouds part to give way to a glorious rainbow.
Horsebow Moon As cold air begins to creep in from the north of Faerghus, Fódlan welcomes the riches of fall. The women spend their days reaping the golden fields, gratefully embracing the bounty the goddess has once again provided. The men venture into the wild with horsebows and empty sacks ready to be filled.
Wyvern Moon From on high, flocks of wyverns roar in chorus and soar the pristine skies, heading south for the winter. Fódlan's children lend their hands to winter preparations by gathering firewood and catching fish from rivers' cool waters. Yet all the while their gazes are turned skyward, drawn to the magnificent sight above.
Red Wolf Moon Hoarfrost now graces treetops and open fields alike, and an icy chill blown in from the north of Faerghus blankets the land. All of Fódlan's creatures begin to settle in for a long winter. The setting sun bathes the full winter coat of every wolf in a foreboding scarlet glow.Hunters can now spread the word that the red wolves are back on the prowl.
Ethereal Moon Though most stars will still glimmer in the crisp winter air, the blue sea star has gone back into hiding. Legends state that the goddess prays for peace from her home in the heavens. In the town of Garreg Mach, the anniversary of the monastery's completion nears, and the people's prayers intensify ahead of the millennium festival, still five years hence.
Guardian Moon Long ago, the guardian Seiros made an appearance during this moon. She had been summoned by the goddess, whose soul was suffering as the flames of war raged across Fódlan. Some believe that high in the sky above Seiros, the Immaculate One's mighty wings are what powered the strong winds carrying the guardian and her forces into battle.
Pegasus Moon The northern lands are enveloped in a bitter cold, and frigid winds are carried across the sea to the south of Adrestia. When feather-white snow falls on Fódlan's Locket, the fort looks as delicate as a pearl. However....beneath that snowy blanked, her Throat is more treacherous than ever.
Lone Moon Together, the people of Fódlan relish the beauty of the brilliant moon overhead as another year ends. They recall sad partings and new acquaintances alike, but each person must still walk their chosen path alone. With each day, the presence of spring grows stronger and yet a lone moon still haunts the sky. A silent reminder, perhaps, of some inescapable truth... Oh wow, next thing we know the students will form a LGBTQ+ Club or something xD

Man I love how there are only like about five straight people among our characters xD I know we're not even at the mock battle yet so maybe it's a bit early to ask but how do you think your characters would fare on the battlefield? Actually I only wanna know how many idiots we have ^^ Like, on a scale from 1 to Neason. We can exclude the professors since they're the most experienced and therefore have some self-restraint and common sense. At least I hope so. I guess Vincent, Nora and Agnar wouldn't try anything stupid so we don't have to worry about them. They usually know what they're doing. Vincent is the least likely to take stupid risks, I think he has a pretty good grasp of what he can and can't handle. Agnar is experienced in taking on dangerous and powerful enemies and is very observant. It's rare for him to act without thinking. Nora seems to know her abilities and she's good at judging an opponent's strength. I think she can adapt pretty well too. It's still possible for her to get a little overconfident though. 1-2 for them I guess.
I think Julius would be similar to them in his approach, at least most of the time but Akakios can get pretty frustrated with having to hold back so much. Wouldn't be surprised if he acts impulsive every now and then. I think he can range anywhere from 2-5.
Callan would do pretty well on his own but if he thinks someone needs defending he can be a damn idiot too. Even worse, if he thinks someone is doing something stupid he'll run after them and throw around insults (at whoever he's trying to protect) and offensive spells (at whoever is threatening them). As for after battles like that, watch this dork either apologize to his classmates for insulting them or outright avoid them because he's too scared to face them after saying mean or harsh things to them xD 7-8 I guess? When he thinks everyone can handle themselves I would give him a 3 though.
The worst however is Jasmine. Oh, she'll do just fine in most battles and she definitely can think before she acts but she's also the kind of person who would just charge at a large group or a super strong enemy, confident that she can take them on. She usually can handle herself though. If an enemy is too strong after all she knows how to get away. Doesn't change the fact that she needs to learn how to properly judge an enemy's strength so she doesn't end up in such situations in the first place.
*Giant, evil, overpowered crest-stone-bearing beast appears*
Jasmine: Oh, you think you're tough shit?! You wanna go?! You have no idea who you're messing with! So yeah, probably 8-9 for her.

can i just say i love how neason is end of the idiot scale XD
as for my characters neason is the biggest idiot he has 0 self restraint and would probably be running in to fight that monster with jasmine
searc and imrie are probably 1-2, but searc has chances of another ranking when he is having to go and restrain his brother
Alastair and Jason is a 3, as both prefer keeping their distance in fights
Elara and Pierce 5-6
Clara is 7-8

Gahh, I'm sorry for being so slowww! Also, I'm sorry that it's taking so long to get to the mock battle :<
Fion is super sensible, a pragmatist and all that so I wouldn't worry about him on the battlefield. However, if someone desperately needed help, Fion would definitely see it as his job to get to them, healing at the ready. The only reckless decisions I see him making are less about the actual fighting and more about making sure everyone stays on their feet. In any case, not a frontline fighter, but he can handle himself. 2-3.
Grimm, on the other hand, can be pretty reckless. He knows that he has a higher tolerance for pain than most of his classmates and that leads him to take lots of risks. Pretty self-sacrificial too - he just doesn't value his own safety much. Basically the kind of person Callan would be cursing... The strongest physical fighter among my characters. 6-7.
Estelle keeps her distance since magic is her primary means of offence. She can be a bit ditzy so she might make some stupid miscalculations, but she isn't going to try to take on more than she can handle (ordinarily anyway). If enemies try to appeal to her naivety, that could be an issue. Very much a team-player. 3-4.
Rieka is generally pretty sensible as well. She's observant, often being the first to notice danger (ambushes?) and follows orders well. Might become impulsive if she looses her cool though. 3.
Adora's confidence in her own abilities might lead her to take risky manoeuvres, but she's experienced enough to handle it most of the time. She will also try to take care of others on the battlefield. Impulsive at times even if it is staged. Keres is sadistic and has no issue killing her enemies. She's more of a lone-wolf, only pays attention to close allies. Adora\Keres will go up and down the scale depending on whether Keres is acting or not.

Well, it's the truth and I couldn't resist xD
It's totally fine ^^ We still have to give Megumi a reason to not participate in the mock battle anyway if I remember correctly. And we also wanted to have four of our idiots to play detective for one reason or another. Hm. Speaking of which, we need to come up with a rumor that makes them want to sneak around at night.
For now it looks like the Lions would be the least chaotic. The Eagles don't look too bad either. I wonder how much will change with Spark's characters, I think at least Silke would rank pretty high. The Deer though... holy shit. Let's hope Jasmine doesn't go on a mission with them. She'll make everything even worse. It's bad enough as it is. Neason would run on ahead and Searc, Julius and Callan would go right after him. Not that Akakios wants to look after their idiot leader but having to act as his friend he'll have no choice xD

Yes, that's right! 𝚜𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚔𝚜𝚌𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛, let us know what you want to do about Megumi potentially sitting out. For rumours, let's brainstorm. - ghosts is a classic, maybe a student from a previous class? - alternatively, there could be a rumour of someone attacking people at night and the students are like: "not on my watch!" - rumours of a secret room? - ? any other thoughts?

A secret room could be fun, whether it exists or not. Maybe they do find a room like that after all but find out that there's nothing interesting in there. I think our dumb investigators would try to find other hidden places too, on the assumption that the monastery must have some secrets. Let's hope they get caught the first time they snoop around, otherwise they would sneak out more often. Heck, if the first rumor about the (unimportant) secret room is true they could make it their secret hideout and discuss any rumors they've heard in there xD Yeah, no. They'll totally screw up on their first and only investigation and the knights will have to keep an eye on them so they won't do it again.
Either way, if they do get caught they have an excuse anyway. It's forbidden to wander around alone at night. Groups are totally fine. "It's only against the rules if we're alone but we were together all night. We did nothing wrong. Right, [Idiot No. 2]?" "Nice try, [Idiot No. 1], but you know exactly what they meant! So no, we're screwed if they find out."

Secret room it is! I was thinking that we could do some foreshadowing for the kidnapping plot too either for this first excursion or a future one. Like, maybe the group does get dangerously close to stumbling upon something bad (unbeknownst to them, of course - for them it's just oddly-shaped shadows and spooky noises) and the knights / someone sensible gets to them before anything actually happens. Bonus points if one of the 'idiots' is someone the racists are likely to target.
I really like the idea of the group meeting up in the not-so-special secret room just to nerd out about different rumours they've heard ^^ Like some sort of medieval occult club.

Love this idea! I was actually thinking of having them find something interesting that won't make sense at first but I couldn't really think of what they would find, especially at such an early point. But your suggestion works perfectly! Bonus points if they hear some weird noises and see a suspicious shadow... and immediately go check it out like the idiots they are. Only to be interrupted by some annoyed knights or someone else who has a working brain of course. I think Spark suggested having Rekka join the Idiot Detective Club so that's something already. As for me, I think I pick Julius because Callan wouldn't dare to try anything that would make the knights, professors and other church staff mad, at least not this early. Akakios needs an excuse to investigate the monastery anyway. So now we have one of the Racist Gang's targets and one of the people who more or less work with them. Speaking of the racist cult, they still need a name I guess. If all else fails we can use this, even if most names sound incredibly weird and it would take a while to get something good. Okay, if Ember and Spark are on board with that let's totally have our idiots start their secret occult club and hang out in that hidden room. Do they need a name too? If they do I think they'd pick something incredibly dumb like... *takes Springhole's Religious & Esoteric Order Name Generator for a spin again* The Hidden Order of the Revealed Truth? What the hell? Yeah, no. I think not. But speaking of that Name Generator, one of the results I got was The Children of the Sacred Sun. If our three spies were weird enough to come up with a name for their trio that would be one option xD

I got 'The Servants of The Reborn Goddess' from the generator which does, somehow, sound pretty legit It's kind of a shame that none of our characters are super chuunibyou hahaI'm not sure which of my characters should go along. Any thoughts as to who would make a fun addition? In my head, I guess Grimm makes the most sense, but I'm otherwise undecided.

It kinda does Haha, yeah. It really isHm. Grimm makes the most sense, like you said. Adora could be a fun addition but then we'd have two spies being part of that club. Can't really think of anyone else. Unless one of your other characters gets involved for some reason. Anyone who would notice that three other students are up to something and either tries to stop them or to find out what they're doing?

Rieka, maybe. She'd be pretty curious if she thought she was being left out of the loop. I think you're right though - Grimm might be my best bet + he's totally the type to get interested in occult stuff regardless of whether he actually believes in it or not.

We still need someone who gives her an additional reason though, right? Then again we don't really have anyone who would cheat so that's gonna be a problem. Akakios would love to cheat in a training match but since he has to keep up the act he probably won't unless he can make it look like he didn't cheat. Sussuru do you think Adora/Keres would resort to cheating in a sparring match? I know I've asked this before but does anyone have decided on spell lists for their characters? I think I'm done with mine, since we agreed that Bohr and Quake are alright to have. Keep in mind that our characters can learn only one of the more powerful Reason spells: Meteor, Bolting, Quake and Bohr. So that one person can't use both Bolting and Meteor, for example. I think characters who generally won't bother with magic can learn three Faith spells and two Reason spells. Also, anyone who has Faith listed as a strength will most likely already know Heal and Nosferatu. And those who have Reason as a strength will know their first Reason spell as well. At least that's how I would handle it. The professors will already know all their spells and the Agarthans will know a bunch of magic already too, if they focused on it during their training, even though they won't use most of it at first to not look suspicious. Ember34 Not sure about Jason though since he wasn't raised by Agarthans. Nora Black Magic: Fire, Bolganone, Sagittae, Ragnarok, Meteor White Magic: Heal, Nosferatu, Physic, Silence, Abraxas
Vincent Black Magic: Blizzard, Fimbulvetr White Magic: Heal, Nosferatu, Recover
Agnar Black Magic: Wind, Ragnarok, Sagittae, Fimbulvetr, Bolting White Magic: Heal, Nosferatu, Physic
Konstantin Black Magic: Thunder, Cutting Gale White Magic: Heal, Nosferatu, Rescue
Callan Dark Magic: Miasma Δ, Mire Β, Luna Λ, Dark Spikes Τ, Quake Σ White Magic: Heal, Nosferatu, Recover
Julius/Akakios Dark Magic: Miasma Δ, Swarm Ζ, Luna Λ, Death Γ, Bohr Χ White Magic: Heal, Nosferatu, Warp
(Won't use dark magic during battle at first, he'll pretend to learn how to successfully cast Miasma during the second or third month.)
Jasmine Black Magic: Fire, Excalibur White Magic: Heal, Nosferatu, Restore
I finally decided on having Callan learn Quake Σ at some point (was debating on whether to pick Hades or Quake). He won't use it often, mostly because it's a spell that hits everyone, including allies, and he would only resort to that if it's really neccessary. Since it can't hit flying units I like to think that it also can't be cast during flight. As a flying unit himself (he won't learn it before promoting to a flying class) he won't have many opportunities to use it, he'll have to land first and would like to avoid that. Meteor, Bolting, Quake, Bohr, Silence and Warp can only be used once per battle and Sussuru already suggested that powerful spells like that "would sap the user's energy and potentially even paralyse them for a short while" so that's another good limitation.
How are they gonna cast dark magic anyway? As in, how would they pronounce it? I don't want to have to put in the symbols all the time xD Either we shorten the spells (Miasma, Swarm, Luna...) or we spell out the greek letters. That would make them: Miasma Delta, Mire Beta, Swarm Zeta, Banshee Theta, Death Gamma, Luna Lambda, Dark Spikes Tau, Hades Omega, Bohr Chi and Quake Sigma. Feel free to correct me if I got a greek letter wrong.

Hmm, I guess? I don't know, I think she'd avoid doing that so as to protect her image or at least she would early on. That said, if Megumi really pushed her buttons (which I don't think would be hard), she may well give in to the temptation to cheat. So, yes, but only if no-one else was around.
I haven't completed my spell lists yet so here's where I'm at. I think they're done? Let me know if they don't make sense.
Estelle Black Magic: Wind, Thunder, Cutting Gale, Thoron, Bolting White Magic: Heal, Nosferatu, Physic, Seraphim, Fortify
Fion Black Magic: Blizzard, Fimbulvetr, Agnea's Arrow White Magic: Physic, Recover, Ward, Aura, Rescue
Grimm Black Magic: Fire, Bolganone, Ragnarok, Meteor White Magic: Heal, Torch, Nosferatu, Physic
Adora Dark Magic: Mire Β, Death Γ, Dark Spikes Τ, Bohr Χ White Magic: -
Rieka Black Magic: - White Magic: -
Philomel Black Magic: Thunder, Thoron, Bolting White Magic: Recover, Physic, Rescue, Abraxas
Let's just say Miasma, Quake, etc. for simplicity's sake.
Thoughts about Bohr Χ - it is supposed to reduce the enemy to 1 HP so to reduce it's viability, why not say that it also brings the user down to 1 HP. Very much a last resort, self-destructive type spell?
