Obligatory "New Blood" joke goes here.

[lightsoflife]

Hey guys, new player here! I'm Steph and I'm bringing to you Naomi Kimishima of the Trauma Center games, who is at different and not mutually exclusive points in her life a surgeon, a terrorist, a medical examiner/basically a detective, and a mom. Also there are magic powers involved (healing patients and inexplicably hearing dead people, and I swear these two are mutually exclusive) because Trauma Center is that kind of series.

She's now reincarnated as Naomi Kaufman, a chemist working at a forensic lab who's recently moved to Locke City. There's some other stuff going on with her history, like being briefly involved with a gang when she was younger and taking care of her dead friends' kid, but she's trying not to make a big deal (or any deal) of that while she's here. Her info post is over this way for those interested, and I'm going to say straight out that Naomi here is more open to making friends than her previous life was so playing her here is going to be interesting and I'd really love to see how she does in this game!

Last, I have a HMD/contact post here and can be otherwise contacted through PMs and my plurk, elemental_shark. I'm looking forward to playing here, and I'll hopefully be introing tonight tomorrow because I didn't expect such a friendly reception!

Nice to meet you Steph! I'm Nadia and play Miles Edgeworth here from Ace Attorney who is reincarnated as a defense attorney. Also play Takako/Fenrir from Pretear who is a college student/hacker/internet troll.

I'd definitely be up for some pre-game CR between Naomi and Miles since they are likely to have met at some point via their jobs.

[lightsoflife]

I've made too many "Medical Examiner: Investigations" jokes not to want this like burning, so YES. I'm about to go film freshmen running around but I'll get back to this later!

[dominateartimus]

Hello and welcome to the game, Steph.

I'm Joc and I play an original character known as Sandrath, a 'fallen arch-angel' by his world's terms -- but better known in the game as Xander Jarle, who just recently moved to Locke city.

[lightsoflife]

Hi there! Since Naomi's pretty new to the city herself, maybe they could relate over that sometime?

[scramasax]

A fond "indeed" on Trauma Center but anyhoo.

Welcome and enthusiastic hello, Steph - I'm Blue, player of Anthony the zombie Holy Roman Empire messenger boy from Eternal Darkness and Rarity the dressmaker unicorn from My Little Pony, respective reincarnations an also-somewhat-zombie uptight and straight-arrow fifteen-year-old and a more mundane posh family pet named Cinderella!

Seeing how things prove to play out with a reincarnated Naomi ought to be interesting indeed - I likewise look forward to seeing you and her around, and may you have nothing short of a fantastic time here!

[lightsoflife]

More fans, excellent. ♥ Hi there, Blue! I do hope I do Naomi justice here - I always enjoy playing her, and trying out this reincarnation should be fun.

[boredallready]

Hi stranger. I'm completely unrecognizable right now. Yup.

[lightsoflife]

Strangers.

Boring.

[detectivetroll]

Hi Steph! I'm Bri, and welcome to the game!

I'd love some pre-existing CR, if you're interested! I have Nick Burkhardt here, who is currently a homicide detective (formerly a fairy-tale creature hunter), so he and Naomi probably could have interacted that way?

[lightsoflife]

Hi, and yes that sounds good! I just added a short blurb about the forensics lab where she works, in case that helps. Naomi's only been working there a month so I don't know how much they'd have seen each other, but I can certainly seeing them at least being aware of or acquainted with each other.

[metalbent]

Hi! I'm Lucy with two! The first Aradia Megido from Homestuck, reincarnated as Aria Megido. She's a fairly cheerful and friendly girl who likes history and a variety of nerdy things, and she lives with her sister in Japantown. She's 16 and therefore a high school student, though she also works part-time at her grandmother's antique shop (also in Japantown) and does occasional babysitting gigs.

The second is Toph Beifong from Avatar, reincarnated as Sophie Bai, 13-year-old middle school student. She's sort of blunt and snarky still, but also is more polite and willing to work with people/ask for help in her current incarnation, partly because her family support system is a lot more awesome and less overprotective. She's still blind, and has a cane and a lack of seeing feet at the moment.

[lightsoflife]

Hello, Lucy! And ooh, both of these sounds good. If Aria baby-sits from time to time then she might actually get Naomi as a customer somewhere down the line - she's got a seven-year-old and a full-time job to juggle!

[vanisland]

Well, hello there.

I'm Awe, and right now I've got this girl: Mir (or Jacqli, or Jakuri) from the Ar tonelico series, as a freelance hacker/grad student in CS. She's kind of insular and doesn't think well of most people, and is also kind of a troll, sort of.

Trauma Center has always interested me but I've never been able to get any of the games...

[lightsoflife]

I think Naomi would do well with the latter half of that description and I'm a CS student myself (though I'm undergrad), so Mir sounds excellent for the record!

Trauma Center is an excellent series! My favorite, actually. I'm pretty sure the games are pretty cheap nowadays if you want to try looking around (I've definitely seen the original DS game selling for like five bucks, and the Wii game not that much more), although if you don't have a Wii that's a little bit more of a problem. Then again, that's what Youtube's for.

[needsmorezippers]

Hey Steph! My name is Bookie, and I play Pharos from Persona 3 (now elementary student Phillip), Neku Sakuraba from The World Ends With You (now high school student), and Kairi from Kingdom Hearts (now college student). Welcome to the game!

Also I am reminded of when my roommate tried to explain Trauma Team to me. "There's this doctor, but she's also a NINJA!" "Uh... huh..."

[lightsoflife]

Thank you! That's sort of a fun age range there, elementary through college.

It's all true. Trauma Team is pretty much what you get if you take Phoenix Wright and transplant it into a hospital.

[goodboybestshot]

HEY STEPH MAYBE YOU REMEMBER ME. This is Jami from Soul Campaign and other various rp shenanigans.

[lightsoflife]

Jami! I do remember you and wow, it's been a while.

[shambles]

I played Trauma Center 2 or 3 and all I remember is getting really frustrated/stuck with the pattern cancer or something. But they seemed like a pretty fantastic series nonetheless! My former roommate really liked them.

Anyway, hey there! I'm also Steph and I play Logan from the Fable series, a broody tyrant reincarnated as a grouchy pizza hut manager. Welcome to the game!

[lightsoflife]

Fellow Steph! Hi there. I have to admit, "broody tyrant reincarnated as a grouchy pizza hut manager" made me smile and I definitely want to see him around.

Also, I was going to ask "which pattern cancer" and then I realized what I was saying there. Trauma Center is indeed a very fun series, but part of the fun is looking at how absurd it can be.

[gogoghostpowers]

HEY ASSHOLE WHO SAID YOU COULD JOIN THIS GAME

[lightsoflife]

DON'T NEED NO ONE'S PERMISSION TO PLAY WHERE I WANT.

Also I want to make a joke about putting a half-ghost and someone who hears the dead through a cell phone in the same game but the mechanics for the latter are never ever explained even a tiny bit so trying to figure out the logistics would actually make me sad.

[rota]

for a moment there I read "Naoki" and facepalmed because this is not Nocturne, self.

But anyway, hi! I'm Trap, and I play Miles, formerly Hope from Final Fantasy XIII and Toni, formerly Naoto of Persona 4! Toni's a rookie cop, so you think there could be some CR potential in there?

[lightsoflife]

I played Naomi in the same game as a Naoki once, I got so confused whenever I saw his name.

And yes, sounds good! I added info about her lab over here if that helps; how likely would Toni be to go over there?

[ursoreckless]

Hello there, I am Alec and I play this guy - Sho from the movie Moon Child. In his past life, he was a street rat that became a mob boss and then was turned into a vampire by his BFF. In this life, he is a trust fund baby that likes fast cars, dating and not being responsible at all.

Welcome to the game!

[lightsoflife]

Thank you! And oh hey I think I've seen this guy in another game - kind of hard to forget mob boss vampires.

[peacefulwinter]

The first time I hear "the dead shall speak", I will squee so hard you will hear it halfway across the internet. I loved Trauma Team.

Anyway! I'm MaxSalsa, and I play Winter here, formerly known as Rikka Hishikawa, magical girl and keeper of her bestest friend. In Locke City she's painfully shy but trying to improve herself. Oh, and she has a talking plushie.

[lightsoflife]

Oh, hey! I recognize your name. You play at Exsilium and Rekindle too, right? I play Emil Castagnier at both those games so I've seen you around there.

Anyway, I'm not sure how easily I'll get to the point where Naomi's actually doing her own cases but if I do manage it I'll be excited along with you because yes. In the meantime, I'm looking forward to playing with you here!

[acequeen]

Did someone just say gang?

And hi, I'm Pam! I currently play Kallen Kouzuki from Code Geass, who was once a powerful and feisty mecha pilot but is now reincarnated as Regina Akamine, an ex-gang member of the Black Dragons. Currently, she's a junior in college and double majors in Japanese studies and medicine; for the latter, she wants to become a drug specialist so she can work in rehab clinics (because her mom got addicted to drugs, see).

Maybe our characters can have previous CR if you're up for it.

[lightsoflife]

Previous CR probably wouldn't work in this case, at least as far as gang stuff goes! Naomi left hers over a decade ago and on a bad note; that plus the fact that she's new means they might not know each other as easily. I can see Naomi taking an interest in her if they talk, though! She's not a doctor anymore but she stills knows a little bit about medicine, and given her occupation/backstory she can probably sympathize with the bit about drugs.

[snakeintallgrass]

True story: at one time, I had a CR-S01 app like half-written. And then the game I was writing it for abruptly shut down. Kind of a bummer.

ANYWAY HI STEPH. I'm Kari, and I just got in with Yousha Hida (previously Togame) here! I'm looking forward to any potential CR we might find. :B

[lightsoflife]

S01 love, I played Rosalia at a different game until just recently so eeee.

BUT SERIOUSLY HI THERE. Yes, I'm looking forward to playing with you!
