quick AU info for kalim in this game: • he attends the Everwave Academy for Distinguished Youths • he's just as stupid rich as in canon but in this AU his family are involved in organised crime rather than legitimate business, which he does his best to ignore most of the time • he still spends the majority of his time being babysat by Jamil but he's generally more worried about getting shot than poisoned • if your character is from a similar or adjacent background or goes to the same school you're welcome to assume that they know him!
i'll match format if you'd prefer to do brackets <3
i. Kalim has always taken a lot of comfort from the fact that a lot of the small business owners around town know him. In the day-to-day, it's just nice to be able to say hi to friendly faces – and if there's an emergency, it's nice to know that there's always someone around who can come to his aid for his family's sake. But... ever since he became a Nova Knight, it's gotten to be a little bit of a pain!
Of course it's great that there are so many people around looking out for him... but sometimes he really doesn't want to be looked out for! If any of those guys saw him transform into Nova Sunbeam his family would definitely find out about it really quickly, and he's pretty sure his parents wouldn't be okay with him doing this stuff. Jamil is barely okay with him doing this stuff.
So he's pretty anxious as he ducks into this alleyway – the shop across the street is run by a guy who knows his dad, but if Kalim wants to respond to Nautis's alert, he needs to transform as soon as possible.
It's possible you're someone he already knows is a fellow Nova Knight, but maybe not. Either way, he looks a little relieved when the two of you make eye contact.
"Hey, could you do me a favour?" he says, a little out of breath. "Can you check if the guy at the counter in the video store across the street is looking this way?"
Even if you don't know him, he doesn't seem particularly concerned about what an insanely suspicious request this is...
ii. Great news! Nova Sunbeam is filling up the magical girls only group text channel with irrelevant chit chat. Again. This is happening before the the beautiful unit. show where everything gets definitively messed up, but weird stuff has been going on with ticket scalpers... Not that this guy seems to have noticed that, or that it's what he's here to talk about. As far as he's concerned being teammates means you guys are all best buddies.
hey are any of you guys going to the concert?? ive never listened to the beautiful unit before but so many people want to go it seems like its going to be a really good time!
