I wouldn't so readily make that assumption. Rasmus' quotes regarding Dubu are very implicit of two having never met before.
Not to mention Dubu's only Teammate/Enemy interaction in the entire game is a unique reaction regarding X. You'd think he'd have something to say to Rasmus if the two had any sort of previous contact. The only way to explain him not reacting were to be if he remembered none of it himself, which at that point the connection might as well not exist if we're writing about Dubu.
This of course winds up even more confusing when the game actually throws the connection a bone in the form of Nao claiming Dubu is familiar to her. How long Nao has been heading the Special Projects Division at Clarion Corp. is unclear, but if Nao's familiarity with Dubu is related to Dubu being involved with a Clarion Corp. experiment, then Rasmus has no reason to not be able to mention it. Dubu is after all like himself a major success story in his field of study.

funny cuz i've had a fic idea for luna AND juno for the longest time
also yeah dubu is heavily implied to be an omega experiment
glossy kettle
...
That whole thing was me pointing out that the game seemed to make it clear Dubu and Rasmus had no prior relationship.
glossy kettle
Nao is threatening a sudden retcon to that, but outside of her line there isn't really anything to go on aside from what Dubu is.
Dubu is clearly the result of something Omega related, but Nao's dialouge is the only thing that implies Clarion Corp. being related at all.
Which genuinely makes no logical sense.
kind scaffold
i dont think they would retcon it especially since all these characters and stuff were most certainly made and written around the same time
there is somethin cooking we dont know
glossy kettle
I just think it's weird because Rasmus' dialouge implies he doesn't know Dubu, but if Dubu is related to Clarion that can't be true. This means that Rasmus is lying, but Rasmus has no logical reason to have to lie about that.
A man that's described as callous, calculating, and competent wouldn't lie flippantly. It goes against Rasmus' character to do that.
Heck if anything he has motive to be honest about it.
Dubu is a success story, and if he brings that up to Julie she's turbo naive and would be interested in it.
That gives Rasmus an in with Frostfire and by extension Estelle
Which plenty of dialouge implies he'd be very happy to have.
gaunt nova
Dubu might have a similiar situation with Aimi and got affected by a shockwave of omega energy?
glossy kettle
That would be my guess too, because Dubu can't have a direct connection to Clarion without having Rasmus contradict his personality and motives through his existing dialogue.

Well here's the fic
obtuse kraken
Here's the thing about writing Dubu, as someone who read a fic around him earlier this year
He is clearly smarter than he looks and is getting smarter as he ages; and being trapped behind the sole word he can utter for whatever reason must feel isolating, even when Juliette can probably translate? (Even if she can, there's dependance there that can be explored; the relationship there has some stuff that can be done well based off of execution)
This wanders into HC territory but like... Is it unreasonable to assume that if people question even AiMi's person hood, they would also be likely to consider Dubu as just. A pet and not a person? Obviously those that know him know better but the general populace might not
There's that aspect to explore, tho it is a bit of a reach

Time to find out how they’re gonna write this game’s roster into the next one.
Giving it all a cursory run through should be pretty easy to write in a reason for 15 out of 20. Juliette, Dubu, Estelle, Kai, and Era are the only real hang ups, but honestly the moment you write in a way to force Estelle out it’s not unreasonable for the other 4 to follow.
gaunt nova

why wouldnt they be in the next game tho
glossy kettle

Because they’re professional Corestrike players.
Eh wrong reply
Regardless it’s in theory hard to write people who have an ongoing career in professional sports into playing some other big game.
Not without writing them out of Corestrike.
Which frankly for those 5 is as easy as FrostFire having a trash season and their wealthy sponsor cutting their funding.
kind scaffold
everyone in the game is professional tho they are in the pro leagues
gaunt nova
But they’re also just “famous” in general
glossy kettle
everyone in the game is professional tho they are in the pro leagues
Yes, but the others have motives not tied directly to the league.
Like Asher and Zentaro literally just need to make money.
glossy kettle
Ai.Mi and Finii just need fame.
kind scaffold
gotta think 3d
also any game not taking place on the field can just be... off season
obtuse kraken
Era isn't really a hang up in that imo? Her goal isn't exactly core strike
glossy kettle
Kai, Estelle, Julie etc. all are directly tied to the league as characters. The writing needs to force them out unwillingly.
glossy kettle
Era isn't really a hang up in that imo? Her goal isn't exactly core strike
It’s to follow Kai
Which means she shares his goal
Like Dubu with Julie

i just don't think it's a hard rule tho

I’m just saying for narrative consistency you need to effectively write a way for their motivations to shift for the new game. This isn’t difficult, just something that needs to be done.
kind scaffold
estelle runs a business does she not
glossy kettle
I’m not disagreeing with you
obtuse kraken

the easy writing is to just say that they are off season, so nobody is playing

Thus Jules and Dubu, too

That's all they need

Which he is
glossy kettle
Point being had a discussion with someone else earlier who insisted none of the characters could be efficiently written into a new game.
Which made me bust out laughing.
Because it’s turbo easy.
glossy kettle
Like you don’t even need all 20 (soon 21)

Im making a big deal of it because professional sports is more than just a full time job. You need to have a good reason for them to be doing something else, because you want your characters to act in character.
Last thing I want is them pulling up to a new game and going “yea that Corestrike stuff just wasn’t really my thing y’know?”
When Julie literally dedicated her life training for it.

As in: Rasmus has ties to Dubu, Estelle and arguably Juliette

He is the center piece

Hi, so today I began writing a story that takes place in the OS universe.
The main plot (that is yet to kick in on what's written so far) is a mysterious event organized by none other than Clarion Corp. where the teams are mixed up, a mysterious new striker that uses drones also joins the event (you could say this takes place before Nao's introduction). What could Rasmus be up to?

The Swordsman, the Priest and the Magician
The merchant could only hide within the bushes, watching from afar as he spotted a sight that he could have never imagined before; an oni—or perhaps, a half-oni due to his more human-like form, he noted—taking residence within the human settlement of Sakura. Though initially he was only passing through the hamlet due to a shortcut that would save him the trouble of explaining to his clients the quality of his perishable commodities, he found a far greater threat to his livelihood than a few lost customers; it was not an uncommon tale that your life was forfeit to the oni should you cross paths with them, the merchant thought.

To give an example here’s a still very rough excerpt from what I’m writing with him rn. The descriptions are a little on the nose as I’ve still got to run it through another redraft or two, but I think it gets the idea across
——
Ai.Mi grunted a begrudging affirmation of the concept before stepping further into the room. Snatching a drawing up from the floor before gazing at it intently. Zentaro walked up to her moving a hand to remove his mask, but before he could say a word, his roommate let out a small laugh. “Some artist she was.” She said, voice dripping with sarcasm.
“…” Zentaro’s hand returned to its side like it had never wished to go anywhere else. “What is it you want?” He asked, his voice steady and nearly monotone.
kind scaffold
very good characterization 
glossy kettle
Side note both of these characters are super dexterous so it’s fun to use a bunch of different adjectives to describe their generally very snappy movements.
Unlike say Atlas or Estelle, who are a lot more controlled in motion and speech.
neat halo
Ooh, that’s wonderful characterization
I’ve been writing in first person, but I’m beginning to think that was a mistake lol
I might’ve done it because I’d grown lazy with descriptions
glossy kettle
First person writing can be fun, but I’m no good at it.
I can’t bring myself to describe things through the lens of a particular character for too long. Too many flowery words and details I need to put into actions and dialogue, and I don’t want to include those when I’m writing for a character that isn’t likely to pick up on them.
kind scaffold
you can still write informational descriptions in first person
i'm actually better at descriptions infirst person lol
neat halo
That’s true, but I try to display the character’s inner thoughts whenever I write in first person
glossy kettle
A character like Juliette doesn’t read too deep into people so if I’m describing someone through the lens of Juliette I want that description to fit with her perception of that character.

maybe they are inner thinking about how that waterfall looks against those rocks

It’s fine to have banter, but don’t let it go into things that are too irrelevant

so much of my writing feels like characters talking to get to the point where it makes sense for them to move on to the next part they have to actually get going without making it feel like they are talking about nothing
luckily i am writing a semi slice of life
so banter is everything
neat halo
kind scaffold
and the little things
neat halo
here’s some dialogue I conjure up near the beginning of my story, I’ve got no clue if it’s natural or if the descriptions are sound enough but this is purely from a Zentaro-esque perspective
glossy kettle
I’d say what you have there is more than solid. This before Zentaro runs away from home so while I think it makes sense for him to be a bit quiet considering he has to hide some of his identity I wouldn’t say he’s too closed off.
kind scaffold
yesss it's really good i think
glossy kettle
I do think his father straight stating him being a half-oni in private is a little on the nose though. I think it would be better for him to allude to it without mentioning it.
Even in private I think it’s something the family would be careful about trying to hide.
neat halo
Ohhh yeah that’s true
It did state in his backstory that he got caught because of his own negligence, though, so I was taking that into account
glossy kettle
If you want to make some setup into it so the story’s events don’t unfold by pure bad luck I’d try and characterize Zentaro as not taking the need to hide his identity as seriously as his parents.
That way when he slips up and gets spotted without bandages there’s fault to lie with him.
neat halo
But that also makes sense
glossy kettle
This gives him something to feel guilty about as he views the discovery as his carelessness, and that it’s costing his parents the life they wanted.
Also gives him more reason to be further reserved down the line. As he doesn’t want to make that mistake again.

I’ll likely make a scene where he’s lying in bed after training before realizing he didn’t have his bandages on before shrugging it off

yeah there's no official ages
so they really coulda met at any time
as long as they're old enough to be playing corestrike
compact prawn
true, my main challenge was, how to make era interested in corestrike at all
kind scaffold
i think you did good on that
it could be they were taught the game in PE class at a young age, or she stumbled upon people playing it (from another school maybe so they didnt know her) and played it and it was fun or she could have had a core at home that she played with to get out physical rage. or any combination of the above really
and then at her new school that you talked about she could meet kai

one thing i don't like about writing era, is that there just so many ways to apporach her

The game seems to go out of its way to avoid referencing places and countries. Pretty much everywhere is either in outer space, in Ahten City, or it's the island Zentaro is from. Frankly it's one of my least favorite things about the world building. It makes everything feel incredibly shallow.
The Pro League teams all being named and based on the members of those teams is also very antithetical to typical sports, where such teams are typically brand names with followings that look out to acquire players. Generally they're going to reference a particular place of origin, or just something for a following to rally around.
The Pro League as a result is far more personal. The stakes are more built into the history of the people rather than franchises, though it begs the question on how the teams for the league are established, what the nature of legacy teams is, and just how high level the Pro League actually is when apparently anyone can walk off the side of the street and perform in the tryouts if Finii's lore page is to be believed.
I hate making headcanons to explain worldbuilding and/or plausibility issues, but I can't comprehend how on earth the Byte Breakers would get into the Pro League without something extra. The game's own gameplay shows the strict learning curve of Corestrike. I think the odds that Zentaro (who has never played the sport in his life) Ai.Mi (An Ai with limited real-world expierience that likely hasn't been around for very long) and Finii (A kid sheltered by wealth who likely hasn't played in the sport outside of a schoolyard) could ever qualify for what's supposed to be the top of top level play without some amount of shady business is malarkey.
Their existence in the Pro League requires either the Pro League to be a far lower skill level than the game and story want it to be, or for them to be unnaturally skilled prodigies with the game despite having little to no instruction and having incredibly limited experience playing the game.
The latter isn't something you can reasonably reconcile when a character like Kai is expressly specified to be a prodigy, and has to train his whole life to get into the sport only then to still not find success until after his rookie season.

Drek’ar and Juno tho <:SockLuna:1001575204524408904><:AimiCry:113048190867395799...
I'd give the benefit of the doubt to Drek'ar, considering he's basically a former military soldier, surely he can get the grasp of how to play corestrike no problem
Juno idk, sometimes I wonder how smart she actually is
She's mainly portrayed as a little kid of sorts, but is she actually akin to that or is she just mimicking Luna's behaviour?
Also, are the blobbos their own sentient forms of life or are they connected directly to Juno?
cyan tundra
okay uhh, my own headcanon
the Juno entity has a central intelligence, which is currently in Juno
usually blobbos split off of it (like from Juno), but this time the central intelligence went too
it's kind of like a hivemind, and the more blobbo/mass she has the better the central intelligence is
which because she's currently child sized, she isn't very smart
compact prawn

the blobbo is just 1 being the covers its whole planet and Juno is just a separated bit of said entity

This is my thoughts regarding Drek'ar. Also there's timeline things, but It's not a massive stretch to say Atlas met Drek'ar and taught him how to play Corestrike to a noteworthy degree prior to entering the Pro League, and Drek'ar is most definitely intelligent and skilled enough to pick it up quickly.
Unlike say the Byte Breakers who all are too young to have that kind of experience, and have no real teacher.
Juno presents her own problems, but her dialouge in-game indicates she's pretty clueless regarding the game anyways, and at least she has Asher to act as some level of mentor for her. Frankly the game is kind of stepping on its own toes when it characterizes Juno as having no idea what she's doing, as in that case she really shouldn't be competing at the Pro League level, but frankly SSR has always been the underdog team, and I think them qualifying off of a good luck streak and struggling heavily in the real thing is at least something we can willingly stretch to accommodate.
Also I apparently went through that whole tirade regarding the Byte Breakers without actually mentioning the head canon that the story forced me to come up with to explain their performance. whoops
uhh TLDR Ai.Mi scrounged up some of the old data from her helper app days, and used it to blackmail one of the Pro League organizers to get her team into the competition. better hope Zentaro doesn't find out

Ai.mi easily can instantly learn how to play

I mean the natural extension of the logic you described is if she can magically learn how to play what is there to stop her from magically learning how to play at an extremely high level? It's why I'm not a fan of solutions like that. It creates more uncomfortable questions in the process of trying to answer one.
I do apologize if I offended at all. I've generally been regarded as a rather harsh critic. Ideas are no more than ideas to me. I never mean to insult anyone's character when I say things like that.
kind scaffold
it kinda hinders the process when you go with things like logic and "natural extensions" I think. she can learn how to do things but that doesn't mean she will be good she still has to practice and not everything you can learn from the internet will include things like being able to adapt to every situation
like what I said isn't the answer to every one of the posed problems but it helps explain why her team can be in the pro leagues
if you overly criticize a generally fun loving and worry free world like os you're just gonna give yourself a headache I think
sure some children can rival people who have trained their whole lives for the sport
that can and has happened in the real world
especially when these kids have access to amazing tech and magic and can learn from said experienced people
glossy kettle
To which I’d say at that point why give her the power at all. She can learn the basics without needing magic. If she still has to practice to compete with the pros then why is she using the magic at all? The whole premise is she’d need to get her team into the league without having the time or experience to get there naturally. She also canonically loses in a 1v1 against Finii at the qualifiers, which would be surprising in that context.
Semantics aside though, I hard disagree with the larger point. Addressing discrepancies and trying to pull together an airtight script is fun! OS being a lighthearted world (sometimes, looking at you Rune!) doesn’t change that. A world that’s consistent with its own rules, and minimizes the amount of reaching the audience has to do allows it to feel more lived in. This in turn lets us more easily identify with the characters and appreciate their stories more! Magic, fantasy sports, high tech science stuff. There’s a story behind every piece, and In my mind it’s an injustice to not try to spin a tale out of every single one.
To me it’s not getting hung up on logic. It’s trying to find the way to explain something that creates a new story to tell. Trying to find the greatest potential of every detail!
compact prawn
Who let my man cook?
You make some fair points on the plot holes behind the OS world building, there's so many things just take as granted.
But I think you're also not taking into account that world building is not a major part of the game and these bits of lore are a mix of extra content and memes for the more curious one.
Maybe on the next project ody makes on the OS universe actually focuses on exploring the world. As of right now it's just a sideline thing that at times even contradicts itself, then again, cuz is not the main focus.
And further more, here we are, to do as we please to fill those plot holes with some juicy headcanons
glossy kettle
Oh absolutely, the world building isn’t the priority. There’s an entire game to be developed after all, and only so much time can be spared for it.
When there are notable issues or contradictions to the world and it’s story I can’t not fault the game for it, but even despite that I understand why it is that way.

Which is why I’ll ask questions as they come to me, and find ways to turn the gaps into narratives.

obtuse kraken
regarding the Byte Breakers in the Pro leagues; idt it's exactly "anyone from the streets can show up and play at that level" cuz Guillaume being skeptical implies there is some hinderance for sure
See Kai being a prodigy is significant as compared to someone like Finii (with all her tricks and her magic), Zen with his Oni powers and stuff and AiMi with her tech magic because Kai is just some guy. He doesn't have a lot of magic or unnatural abilities past "Gotta go fast"; same with Estelle, to an extent. I think the unnatural abilities the characters have is not as normal/expected in the OS verse and most of the tryouts are either not at that level of magical prowess/strength nor that gifted with tech (see: Luna and Atlas)
their abilities and tactics make up for their Corestrike tactics to an extent, but in the end it's the corestrike minds that win (Frostfire and EMs) cuz they bypass thier lack of magic/tech with tactics

Also, yes
That's the trigger trailer low-key but also that's shounen protag classic and we all know Jules is the protag

this is why I like playing juliette
she's the only character where I cannot tell if I'm bad or good
obtuse kraken
PFFT
undone compass
every game's another character arc for her (and me)
obtuse kraken
Hey if that's the case they nailed her gameplay

I just consider every time I die as Juliette as a Juliette moment
it's like a karma system
every time she dies it scales into the next game so if I throw really hard (on accident), then the next game that's when the boss music starts

Yk like how Atlas is supposed to feel like a slow moving wall and he does unless you get speed awakenings
Or X is supposed to feel bulky and slow but hard hitting

if that's the case then why am i always getting the games against a juli where the main character #2 died and told them something inspirational or something

juliette is a walking villain of the week series
undone compass
I like to think when I play juli against another juli
it's like that one side boss in ocarina of time where link fights dark link
fighting her shadow or whatever
cyan tundra
and you're the shadow since you're cool and edgy and awesome
undone compass
the ones where I win are like the ones where Juliette figures out that she's more than just a beat em up fighter and she, too, can score goals and be MVP
the ones where I lose is because Juliette has a platinum badge and the other juliette's platinum badge was shinier
(but I am the shadow, I'll wreck it Ralph their bodies off the map)
I'm waiting for the second season where Juliette learns how to teleport
obtuse kraken
listen I would strangle a Juliette if I saw one teleportin
undone compass
listen I would strangle a Juliette if I saw one teleportin
the true final boss
obtuse kraken
Indeed!
undone compass
Juliette seems like the kind of person to stare at her platinum badge like it's her greatest achievement
like she could be omega but she values the platinum the most because it's like the first milestone she's reached to go into the pro leagues
the first step to becoming super Saiyan
compact prawn
But how does Estelle teleport?
compact prawn
The universal explanation to everything
obtuse kraken
must be magic
compact prawn
How does kai not burn himself? Omega energy
How does the strikers clothing still fit when shrunk or enlarged? Omega energy
Where did Dream Era's glow up come from? Omega energy
compact prawn
Also, can Octavia fly or just float?
compact prawn
I mean looking at her taunts, she can go higher than her usual movement floating height
Only thing that seems for sure, kinda, is that she needs her... Speakers? Turn tables?
what are those things supposed to be?
gaunt nova

Is there a name for the band/group Vyce plays in?
glossy kettle
Pretty sure her band was given a name in the Demon Drive VN, but I can't remember what it was.
compact prawn
yeah, i also had that feeling, but hee-hoo, it's lost gone
hopefully someone uploaded it to youtube or something
thank goodness there is, and yes, there was a name
grave verge
Pretty sure her band was given a name in the Demon Drive VN, but I can't remembe...
this is so funny to me bc the vn is called “demon drive”, named after their corestrike team name, named after their band name lol
grave verge
this is so funny to me bc the vn is called “demon drive”, named after their core...
just occurred to me that vyce has another band after demon drive, quote the vn “vyce and the vagabonds”
compact prawn
Well uh, ended up writing a story about Vyce today, not really part of my to do list, just something I suddenly felt like doing.
Might do Octavia's perspective eventually
