THE TST RUMOR MILL
THE TST RUMOR MILL
(OR, A GLORIFIED INFORMATION PERMISSIONS POST, FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE)
Since it has come to the attention of your mods that we have a lot of characters who like to get into everyone else's business: to facilitate this and eliminate the constant WHAT CAN MY CHARACTER KNOW ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER posts from each individual character--
We present to you this post for all your busybody needs. Here's how it's going to work:
1. Comment with your characters and their usernames using this form (one for each character, please!):
PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE:
SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE:
POP CULTURE PHENOMENON?:
- PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE: Specify the general information that could be known by anyone and everyone (if they care) for each character.
- SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE: Specify, if applicable, any specific juicy tidbits that more information-sensitive characters like spies or detectives would be able to dig up.
- POP CULTURE PHENOMENON?: Characters who are famous, infamous or otherwise part of popular culture will be listed in the main body of this post; so whether your character is a famous singer, murderer, captain, etc.--please note if you think they'd be eligible!
- If you need to update the information, just reply to your original comment. If the thread gets too cluttered, a mod may ask you to consolidate and move all the information to a new comment, deleting the original for easier perusal.
2. If you have a character who'd like to use this knowledge, and you aren't sure from the information given whether or how they'd obtain it--simply ask the original poster in their thread. Easy as pie.
ONE MORE THING: PLEASE TRY TO KEEP SPAM TO A MINIMUM. IT WILL BE CLEARED OUT TO AVOID CLUTTER.

[Ivona] Ichinotani Kyouka (bustybentobabe): Former strategist and information specialist in the Ivona military, she was nearly legendary in the military for her skills with interrogation and information gathering, and was given the nickname of the 'Cough-up Queen' for her work.

[Ivona/Badlands] Leo de Alkirk (fangofjustice): Former captain of the now abolished Destiny, his name is well-known in Ivona's military and among worshippers of the goddess Althena. Some people in Ivona regard him as the 'White Knight', though people in the Badlands tend to look at him as an arrogant fop.

[Vohemar] Rock Lee (the_blue_beast): A figure that travellers and citizens there know of, having done dastardly deeds of goodwill and bravery even when not asked. Also known to be very very loud (and the battle cries don't help), and is seen nothing as a flash of blue when saves people.
[Vohemar] Takasugi Shinsuke (visceralreality): Somewhat well-known to anyone connected enough to those influential enough on the Vohemaro side of things, especially those who were involved with the ill-fated Bydan uprisings a good decade or so back.

[Reial] Isaac Dian (whatsthatmiria): One half of the pair that's known widely to be directly responsible for a series of high-profile and unconventional robberies that targeted at just about anything and everything. Their M.O. involves costumes and theft in broad daylight, so just about anyone with connections to crime will be aware of them very quickly and easily. However ever since the duo were separated, their actions have died down along with the stories.
[Reial] Kisuke Urahara (maggotnesting): One of the most well-known figures in the underground market (the grey and the black), regarded for being easy, confidential, and safe to deal with, though his prices run a little high.
[Reial] Miles Edgeworth (edge_of_honor): Former first mate of the now decommissioned Victoria II. Oftentimes gets a mention in news articles (and political cartoons) that feature the Victoria II or Manfred von Karma. In Vohemar, he has a shady and vague reputation as a traitor and a sellout, especially among those directly involved with piracy. Currently rumoured to have committed suicide in light of a major scandal, though some digging within the military will discover otherwise.
☆ [Reial] Manfred von Karma (karmauberalles): The former captain of the former Ivonian fleet's flagship, the now disbanded Victoria II. Associated with various shady rumors as well as legends; a formidable figure both politically and militarily. Opinions on him tend to be polarized; from extreme respect to outright hatred. Now known to have been 'honourably discharged' from military service following a scandal between him and his former first mate Miles Edgeworth.
[Reial] Ness Lakehaven (eighthmelody): Known among magic geeks for being roughly the most famous PSI user in Reial (there aren't that many of them).
[Reial] Roy Mustang (thewarisover): Decorated war veteran and State Alchemist of the Ivonian armed forces, known best for his exploits during the Ishval Campaign. Also a household name in alchemy, especially amongst alchemists.
[Reial] Utena Tenjou (princelyspirit): Known as a wandering vigilante swordsman with long pink hair and a 'princely' demeanour, she's been rumoured to have been popping around all over the continent and performing superhuman feats to defend people from danger. Not especially famous, but she's been talked around as something of a lesser-known urban legend.
