Welcome to A.A., or Angst Anonymous, you weary of soul, you tired of body, you...angst characters of anime. This is a support group--we know how hard it is to attend high school by day and solve crimes by night, to seek revenge for the slaughter of your rural village, to subsist on the blood of the living without seeing the light of dawn. So sit down, introduce yourself, and tell your story. Maybe you'll find a bit of advice that won't make it seem so bad.
Well, except for your psychokinetic stalker. Too bad about that.
Here's how it works:
This is a parody/RP community. Periodically a list of characters will be posted. Sign up in the comments for which ones you want, but please only take as many as you will have the time and interest to write (and you may be writing the same character, though not as intensely as in your introduction, for weeks to months). Once you take a character, you'll be expected to introduce him/her within two weeks. How to begin? For example...
"Hi, my name is Aya F., and boy, does my life suck. It all started when..."
Nothing is set, though, so have fun. After the initial round of introductions there will be a weekly topic up for discussion. What does Eyes Rutherford or Juri Arisugawa have to say about how to spot and not get attached to a side character obviously about to die? Plans to take over the earth that just aren't worth the last-minute overextending and hair-tearing? Billowing cloaks that get caught on just about everything? Help your angst-ridden anime persona become a functional misanthrope!
Questions? Comments? Drop a line to me,
syonakeleste, or my lovely co-maintainer gaudior. Or query the email address above.
A by-no-means complete list of angst characters:
