[Note : To be fully added on the list, you'll have the layout and pinned / info post already set up. You can probably request a layout or themepack on an editblr account OR request directly from me on @pyopyopyopyopyopyopyo (yes this is a shameless plug). As for the pinned / info post you can maybe base it off of the one I did or take inspiration from others, I don't exactly mind. Just as long as it has the basic rules and boundaries it's all good ^^]

who r ur upperclassmen??? like from classes 77b and 78 respectively
Class 77-B and Class 78 is so inspiring, but they're also a little bit intimidating! Class 77-B has such an amazing bond! I've seen them hanging out together before. Chiaki is so sweet! Ibuki has been trying to convince me to play with her sometime, though I think her rock and roll style might completely overpower my piano!
And Class 78 is just amazing! You have Makoto, who is literally the ultimate pillar of hope, and Kyoko, who is so cool and mysterious. Sayaka is a total inspiration to me as a fellow musician, too!
This is kind of a different approach to Hajime having all the talents at once, and merely just him having access to one talent at a time through whichever Ultimate touched him recently (or vice versa). He's still a Reserve Course student, he's just a little quirky (HAHA).
How long does it apply for?
For an hour or two before wearing off.
How does it work?
For the duration, Hajime will exhibit similar interests and experience as the person who interacted with him, but he won't have the same quirks (i.e. Being the Ultimate Musician, he'll have a nice voice/desire to sing, write songs, and play instruments, but he won't have the same music taste as Ibuki). Afterwards, it just fades away slowly until all the knowledge and experience is gone completely (sorry, I imagine Hajime's voice is also average, which honestly, mood). His memory of what he did and accomplished doesn't go away though. If someone else touches him before the hour ends, his thoughts will shift accordingly to the new person's talent and the previous talent isn't accessible anymore (i.e. if he's tinkering with something because of the Ultimate Mechanic talent but Mikan trips and accidentally bonks Hajime in the head, he'll be unable to finish the project).
Who's giving their talent most often?
Kazuichi and Ibuki through constant casual touches and/or hugs (mainly Ibuki for that one). You can bet 100% you've got a Hajime having to deal with a sudden compulsion to fix everything with schematics in his head, along with very sensitive hearing mixed with a love for humming and strumming. Nekomaru's up there too, because he comes up to Hajime to give him a hearty slap on the back and give him tips to be a great rugby player. It makes Hajime match his energy and suddenly they're plotting together on how best Hajime could succeed ("Hey, actually, don't you think I'd make a great snowboarder?") As well, Hajime looks at his classmates and mentally judges whether their physique would befit an athlete in x sport, and makes off the cuff comments about it.
Who's giving their talent least?
Nagito goes out of his way to avoid touching or interacting with Hajime when he knows he's in the Reserve Course (Nagito gets a LIL curious though when he observes Hajime hanging out with his fellow classmates). Peko isn't the type to touch people unwarranted, even casually. Kuzuryuu isn't either, but he'll give Hajime a friendly shove every once in awhile. I can't imagine Mahiru touching him much, but they do get along decently enough.
How does this affect Hajime's day to day life?
No one actually knows about it, and he's not even aware of it. Once he meets Chiaki, he still isn't aware of it. After all, it's kind of hard to notice if you're not interacting with Ultimates that much. It becomes prevalent after he's been adopted by Class 77-B and he's being casually touched or brushed against, with his impulses shifting in different directions. He starts noticing it and he thinks he's gone insane, and that's when he tries talking about it with other RC students and a handful of Ultimates. Nagito's pretty interested in this whole mystery and how it manifests, considering the circumstances. Chiaki says he's collecting power-ups. "Like Pokemon! Why don't you try to collect 'em all?" "...yeah, no thanks, I don't want to get my ass kicked by Mahiru."
How would this impact the Killing Game?
Well, the implications are kind of silly... for instance, when Hajime's trying to figure out his talent with Nagito, he'll be casually brushed (or bumped into) by his classmates and suddenly have hints of having that talent (I have a drabble for this). Of course, the knowledge wears off, and it's dismissed for being beginner's luck. On that note, Nagito considers the idea that perhaps Hajime also has a luck based talent or something to that effect, but they don't get to pursue that thought much before, well, y'know. Also features some shenanigans where Nagito brushes Hajime throughout the game and Hajime starts dealing with a luck cycle but on steroids (considering the 1-2 hour length). Imagine that just because Nagito touches Hajime through encouraging shoulder grips and wrist grabbing, the whole killing game doesn't even start because other chaos ensues. Even Monokuma is baffled because there's suddenly a tsunami??? He didn't even do that???
Some conceptualization rambles under the cut.
I 100% made this because I want to make (more) drabbles for this.
I love Hajime and I'm not overly partial to giving him a talent (although I do have a talentswap AU with him having one bc that's free real estate), but I do find the idea of giving Hajime in a non-despair AU (or even in context to the game) something a little unique fascinating.
I do have more concepts along the lines of "Hajime is a Reserve Course student but he DOES have something strange about him". All of the ideas are on a silly note and not the most logical, but I do enjoy finangling them around in my head.
Also, unintentionally I made most of the Quirky RC concepts so far with him meeting Nagito first instead of Chiaki (except this one). I do have a reasoning for that. I needed to give Hajime a reason to be... less willing to meet the Ultimates. That'll makes sense whenever I post my next quirky!hajime idea.
I remember one time seeing an artwork of the v3 cast in the phantom thieves outfits and it got me wondering what if we had class 77 as the investigation team (I know shsl shipper gamer fangirl did something like this but I don’t think the phantom thieves fit as well as the investigation team) and with that in mind who do you see being who
(P.s for the artwork I saw kokichi was joker kaede was panther kaito was skull maki was queen korekiyo was fox himeno was oracle tsumugi was haru ryoma was Mona kiruma was sae shuichi was supposed to be goro but mistakenly dressed up as naoto)
Ok! I'm going to try to think in terms of who has the most similar personality or at least shares the most traits with the P4 character in question.
Yu Narukami/Protag equivalent = Hajime, obvs.
Yosuke Hanamura equivalent = Kazuichi. Although I feel like Kazuichi's best P4 match would be something like "Yosuke + Kanji," Yosuke is definitely the closer match of the two.
Chie Satonaka equivalent = This is the first legitimately tough one IMO. I guess Mahiru Koizumi is probably the best match in terms of personality, so I'll give it to her.
Kanji Tatsumi equivalent = Fuyuhiko has that tough-guy exterior with the softer inner core, so he can take this on.
Rise Kujikawa equivalent = This, to me, was the hardest one. Sure, we have someone who loves to be on-stage and in the spotlight — Ibuki — but she doesn't align with ANYTHING else about Rise's personality. (Though I do think having Ibuki as a navigator would be hilarious.) So... who comes the closest, then? Does Class 77 have anyone that's struggling with putting on an exterior face to the point that they fear they're losing sight of who they are? I suppose that'd align well with the Imposter. But again, I don't feel confident that he fits with anything else about Rise. And so, after careful consideration, I've decided to give this role to Mikan Tsumiki. Mikan aligns with literally zero of Rise's personality traits, yet somehow she still gets about 50% of the way to matching most of them, if that makes sense? There are multiple aspects that both have loosely in common with the other, if only partially. It's... good enough.
Teddie equivalent = Teruteru.
Naoto Shirogane equivalent = And so we end on another hard one. I considered Peko, Ryota, and Chiaki before I ultimately landed on Imposter. He's got a very no-nonsense, down-to-business way of speaking when he's not putting on a faked personality, plus he's got that whole hidden-identity aspect down already. He also almost never wavers from his craft; he's disguising 99% of the time, after all, which aligns pretty well with Naoto's workaholic nature.
