[meme] before bed: Character ages and nicknames!
skarme
Yosuke: in canon he's the oldest of the senpai squad besides Yu; he starts off 16 but turns 17 on the day you meet Rise
skarme
which is not brought up as such but is probably his best birthday ever 
skarme
when I play him I pretty much always take him pre Arena, but he'd still be 17 either way - only time he's been seen any older so far was
skarme
the Golden epilogue, by which since it's summer break he'd be 18
skarme
in games... in WR, he arrived when the local calendars said July and immediately whined about it :V but I doubt he kept closer track after
skarme
than just going with the local dates out of convenience, so I don't think he got around to thinking of himself as 18 before going home
skarme
which is just as well, really!
skarme
in assguard he does figure he's turned 18 already since he's definitely been around longer than three months, he just isn't sure when
skarme
seeing as the calendar is funky and he didn't realise it until someone else raised the possibility in a network thread
skarme
the important detail is that it's an age at which punching your BFF is a fine and sensible pastime to have
skarme
but seeing as in assguard he's away from the usual grind of job / studying / exams, he hasn't really internalised it
skarme
unless hideous mispronunciations of his name (which did happen in WR, and I'd expect some of in Asgard) count,
skarme
I don't think he's picked up any nicknames in games so far, sadly...
skarme
from canon people around school sometimes refer to him as "pure disappointment" or "the Disappointing Prince" depending on who you ask
skarme
it's p self-explanatory from the moment he opens his mouth (because he's fairly decent-looking, it's just... everything else.......)
skarme
if The Magician is anything to go by, people in his old school called him that too, so it's not a case of picking on the transfer student
skarme
so much as it just fits :V
skarme
though yeah people going "hey transfer student" before Yu and the rest of the minor flood would have meant him
skarme
he's not the prince of Junes though, that's Teddie
skarme
he's probably been called a rotten orange at some point...
skarme
and then there's Captain Ressentiment, which at his assguard and WR canon point he hasn't heard firsthand but it's rude enough anyway
skarme
Captain bc budding hero complex, Ressentiment bc basis for most of the rest of his personality, y e p
skarme
in somebody's P4A1 story mode Chie tells him it's like the shittiest power ranger ever, Disappointment Ranger Ressentiman or w/e
skarme
I'd watch it, tbh 
Williams
Hideous mispronunciation of his name was one of my proudest NPC moments 
skarme
as well it should be!
skarme
yeah I think elsewhere he's gotten at least one "what kind of name is that" from an obnoxious Brit who hadn't heard it pronounced,
skarme
but generally being an actual people person he introduces himself pretty quick
skarme
(also one day I might stop drifting off to sleep in the middle of silly memes)
