Chances are low but he's beaten the odds before!

my other canon is madoka magica which no one survives 0% survival rate is real

Canonically, no.

:' ) really the question becomes how he'd die

per undertale i headcanon him as a green soul so... maybe he could get past the ruins+ with the shield effect of of that. but no saving/loading so he's just in a jar now

pmmm i'm just like 'oh yeah witch's familiar got him' unless we really wanted to go with a certain contract parallel

make a contract and become a magical boy. then become a veteran by isolating yourself and acting purely out of self interest.

he could survive higurashi at least... that would be an objectively better place for him. go to hinamizawa and get aggressively friendship'd shin

.....then getting attached to someone anyway and dying to save them ;' )
oooh I don't know much or really anything about that canon but I am here for shin getting aggressively friendshipped

YEP... meguca world is heartless

higurashi is a story about misunderstandings and a lot of tragedy but at it's core hinamizawa is a "place for new beginnings" and it's very much a story about bonds and finding happiness despite all that so it's what he deserves tbh

it really is... the grind never stops
awwwwww yeah that would be nice for him I think
he does deserve it... somewhere he'd flourish instead of wither

He does... I just want the poor guy to experience human happiness and have people who care about him.

:''' ) at least there's some of that in your turn to shine, even if the wider context for that is pain

face in hands... i'm waiting for the pain train in your turn to shine

there's some of it but i'm ready for it to just hit and destroy me

can't wait for Kai mode
the chef is king
yeah.... i wonder if we're gonna get more of "sara"

for nene's? absolutely, its probably not that hard, because its a normal modern world unless you are an exorcist or close to death.

for sidney's? of course not. no one does, though. he'll get out eventually, probably.

:' ) he gets to keep his nice convenience store life and not be bothered by ghosts, although I wonder if 0% counts as 'close to death'

yesssss. dfdgfhfg if sidney went in in the 1920s and came out in the modern day at least he gets to skip to the future

OH... 0% SUPER DOES, can. can you imaginehow different yttd would be if ghosts were there

looks at the 'kindly hallucinations'
i love the fandom plot that they are sou and kugie's ghosts

but god i love it so much. he already has so much to deal with, and now.... ghosts

thinks about this in this context

and of course everyone who died....

oh BOY

YEAH. YEAH.

.....thinks about joe
trying desperately to get through to sara
15 percent is high comparitively but its still fucking low after all

no 8') but i can determine what kind of survivor he'd be

i have him pegged as a decoder but i really wanna know ur thoughts

oh yeah a decoder but i'd pull his traits from dead by daylight and make it so he has some form of sprinting that can kick in - like forward's ball but it's inherent

joe desperately trying to beat up the hallucination hurts me
don't listen to it, sara!
i'm also :' ) if shin sees kanna's ghost... or if he doesn't, she's moved on
and oooooh decoder makes sense from what little I know

the downside is there's a decent cooldown before he can do it again and you're limited in uses

yeah!!

that and probably a slower vault like helena and tracy

yessssssss

what are the dead by daylight decoder traits, I'm curious

they don't have them!

instead they kind of let you build your own character via what perks you choose to take

oh! that explains why the googling didn't turn up anything :' )
oooh

i've just been watching a lot of gameplay so i saw the sprinting and went that's shin

a dash to get away but he can't sustain it

so he might not live so to speak but he'd figure out how to manage in the game

yesssss that fits him to a tee honestly
fast when he needs to be but no stamina
ori pointing out his only movement option in his dream sequence being 'run' will always get me now

he'll die a lot but :' ) he'll get the hang of it

thinking about his attraction and your turn to shine abilities in this context now, although I don't know how or if they'd translate

tell me about them and i'll translate them

- Mine Cart Game: "Being nimble, the cart advances faster."
- Stay On Target: "The charge speed while on the target increases."
- Quick Draw: "As Sou, you can see the type of weapon that will be displayed in advance." this one is the one where he says 'i have a premonition!' before the display comes up.

which is cute, I love it :' )

- His sister Kanna gives you some advantage in a memory game and given he can memorise four emails verbatim moments before being knocked out he'd probably give something similar in that minigame.
- Your Turn To Shine: Crafting 22 (sixth highest), Foraging 25 (fifth highest), Fighting 6 (Lowest), Occasionally endures when hungry.

- He's also impossible to read when using Keiji's 'read people's emotions' ability on him.

Obstructor Fights
- Will burn the monster with a torch, but only if there's a safe opening.
- Listens for footsteps, locates the source of the noise waking the monster.
- Tries to get the Dummies and then Keiji or Q-Taro to pincer Midori so he can catch him; is visibly panting after three tries if that doesn't work.

- Reluctantly and warily accepts and then gives back Maple's offered handkerchief, can mess up the timing and not understand the response.
- Points out draining the battery will give victory, tries to persuade the enemy not to fight (this doesn't work).

the noise thing is interesting because he's like 'my ears hurt' and 'it's noisy' proceeds to give it to sara who he hates, so I guess he has fairly sensitive hearing
that was a surprise, but it does click with him liking to hide in dark places; he can hear people coming, as long as he's not focusing on something else

anyway that's the extent of his mechanical abilities/interactions as far as I remember

....actually i wonder if not a sprint but a dodge would work for him to combine the sprint + premonition

premonition is interesting bc it shows him what will be used but not when; the timing is still in the hands of the player

ok stop me if i'm going on too much about idv in your plurk but there is a character who can essentially use an item to set up a point in time she can warp herself back to

no never, go on

so she has her own save point, effectively?

yeah! that

's the best way to describe vera's power

it's short term but it's nifty for getting out of jams or lets you "undo" a hit so to speak

so instead of it being a physical item like hers, shin's would be something you can activate right before you're hit - the hunter will swing and miss you

the timing would be tight but he'd be high risk/high reward

maybe even like. it registers to them so you have that delay of recovery, or if it doesn't it gives him a lil speed boost for a second

just like

"NOPE"

hehehe "i am OUT, BYE"

however the downside would be probably it takes longer to heal him

or keeping the slower vaults

one of the two, it's always a balance

slower vaults makes sense given his general ability with exercise I think
and I love the idea of him giving a lil speed boost
there's a point in canon where sara takes him by surprise, pounces and takes something from him, and he soon after snatches it back and runs

I do like the idea of him having speed over dodging per se, because infuriating dodging seems to be midori's thing

shin gives the impression of a guy who's fairly easy to grab... if you catch up to him

yeah....i'll have to let it percolate to make sure i'm not overlapping with other people's traits to really like figure out how premonition might work

but in the meantime. i know he'd look adorable in the artstyle

it's a weird one... i got excited and now I'm like... how does this work in rp... I guess it doesn't translate well if the opponent only has one kind of move they can do
yesssss he would

i love the idv artwork I've seen so much
