School

2013-09-13T09:57:12Z

Ahania:

The '''school''' that [[Lain]] attends along with her classmates [[Alice]], [[Reika]] and [[Juri]] has no name in any of the works. [[Alice's teacher]] and [[Lain's teacher]] work here.

==Description==

[[File:Lain School.jpeg|thumb|right|300px]]

The school buildings are mostly white. There is a main gate all the students enter through, beside which there is a bust of a man (unidentified, presumably the school founder). In the centre, past the gate, is what appears to be a large pattern.

In the classrooms, students are seated at simple individual desks facing the blackboard at the front of the classroom. There are large windows lining the outside wall and the wall facing the corridor.

'''Iwakura Lain''' (岩倉玲音 ''Iwakura Rein'', also rendered as レイン, ｌａｉｎ or れいん) is the main protagonist of the series. She is female, 14 in the [[anime]], 11-14 in the [[game]], and of an unknown age in other works. Visually, she is characterized by her short, brown, asymmetrical hair, one lock of which is secured by a [[hairclip]]. [[Masami Eiri]], in his desire to conquer reality, uses her as a pawn.

== Personality ==
Across all the works in the ''Serial Experiments Lain'' series, Lain is portrayed as introverted, shy and quiet. Her preferences are also quite childish, and she possesses a large number of toys and other child-themed objects. She often derives comfort from these objects when she is afraid, akin to a security blanket.

When it comes to interacting with others, she often has trouble making eye contact and having fluent conversation, many exchanges with her fellow classmates involving long pauses in her speech, and often looks visibly uncomfortable when asked questions. She usually does not speak unless spoken to and appears to find both talking to strangers and being the center of attention to be intimidating. Because of this, she has very few friends. However, on the Internet, Lain feels much more comfortable around people and is able to talk to them more easily, although she does not feel close to online acquaintances.

Generally, Lain appears to be indifferent to her surroundings, but she is actually very sensitive and worried about how others perceive her. As a result, Lain appears to be very concerned with her actions and how they affect other people, being terrified of being by herself or being universally rejected by everyone.

Due to her lack of close family or friends, Lain is often very lonely and can become unhealthily attached to anyone she feels treats her nicely, to the point of obsession. As a result, she often worries even more how people who know her perceive her and is quick to doubt herself and her friends; however, when she interacts with them, she feels elated and far more optimistic. If anyone she is close to leaves her life, Lain becomes heartbroken and worries about the others that remain. She is fiercely loyal to those she cares about and tries her best to care for them, although she often worries that she is not doing a good job of doing so. Terrible things happening to people, regardless of whether they are close to her or not, seem to deeply emotionally disturb Lain, often causing her to cry.

If Lain is completely alone, she becomes desperate and afraid of her own inner faults. In order to distract herself, Lain often throws herself into a specialization that interests her, such as programming or psychology and further isolated herself. However, extended periods of solitude cause Lain to begin to lose her mind, and she eventually neglects herself and becomes extremely depressed. It is possible that being left alone too long could result in her suicide.

When Lain is afraid, she will often want comfort from others, despite rarely approaching them directly, not wanting to burden them. If she cannot get comfort from other people, she will hide behind objects she designates as security blankets, like her bear pajamas, [[NAVI]], [[Bike-chan]], or [[Progenitis]]. If she is truly terrified or overwhelmed she will have what appears to be a panic attack of some kind, curling into a ball and shaking, apparently completely immobilized.

When it comes to Lain's specialization skills, she is extremely curious and hungry for information, avidly consuming information at astonishing speeds and learning very quickly. It does not take her long to become an expert on a subject, and she shows extreme prowess in both hardware and software, as well as aspects of philosophy, psychology and sociology. She appears to be able to analyze, recall and process data very quickly, working at high speeds and often doing several things at once. Many tasks that are difficult for experts are easy for her. Despite appearing to be highly intelligent, Lain is an extremely poor student, having a difficult time paying attention in class.

Lain seems to consider herself to be abnormal and often blames herself for bad things that happen around her or the troubles of loved ones, becoming easily depressed. She also often feels isolated from society and alone, and seems to want to fit in more than anything, but her shyness and social anxiety often gets in the way. Lain is also very easily embarrassed, which further worsens her low self-esteem and shyness. She often struggles with her [[identity]] due to the circumstances around her, a struggle that often confuses and frightens her.

When Lain finally feels that she has discovered her identity, she is at peace and seems to be quietly content with herself, her previous self-doubts becoming minimal.

== Anime Biography ==

At the beginning of the anime, Lain is technologically illiterate and extremely shy. She hardly even checks her email and is visibly uncomfortable when doing so. While operating her old [[children's NAVI]], she puts on a bear hat. This, like her [[bear suit]], provides comfort to her and helps her face situations that she is intimidated by.

Lain's behaviour changes when she gets a proper [[NAVI]]. When online, she behaves much more confidently and assertively. Another Lain, commonly referred to by the fandom as "evil Lain", already exists in the Wired and, according to Lain in [[Layer 08]], acts like the part of Lain that she hates.

Lain appears to be highly intelligent and has a range of skills. The anime shows her learning extremely quickly how a NAVI functions and can even help the [[boss]] of the [[Men in Black]] repair his extremely old NAVI. Also, the [[manga]] shows some of Lain's skills in programming, as she modifies her plush dog, [[Bike-chan]], to be able to bark. In the [[game]], Lain becomes interested in psychology and is able to use that knowledge on [[Yonera Touko]], her therapist, when she becomes unstable.

She is quite distant from her [[family]] and rarely speaks at home. At school, she is similarly quiet, although she begins to hang out with [[Alice]], [[Reika]] and [[Juri]]. Of the three, only Alice seems to have any real emotional connection with her.

Lain is revealed to be the product of the human collective unconscious that took form in the Wired. This means that there is a different image of Lain in each person's mind, represented by the chattering Lain mannequins in [[Layer 08]]. This led to Lain's [[identity]] crisis that forms a major plot point in the anime.

Lain considers herself to be a being that exists only in the memories of others, so when she edits herself out during the [[reset]], it is almost a form of suicide - although the Wired itself still retains her data, there are no people who truly remember her.

Talk:A day in the life of Lain

2012-12-19T22:35:11Z

Ahania: /* Quick ideas */ new section

==Tech Level ==

Do we want the setting to be 1999 tech, or modern? I would personally vote for modern, because it will be simpler to think about, and Lain with a smartphone could be interesting.

== Scene Ideas ==

Scenes that should exist in this story:
*work on upgrading computers. Perhaps buying a pressure gauge somewhere?
*part of the splitting paths could be deciding if you go out or work on your computer each night (or if you even get to choose), and how upgraded the pc is could affect further scenes appearing or not [eg- playing an online game or not])
::have social points and pc points. some events require at least however many of whatever kind of points, and some actions could grant/require both (Lain goes to hacker-con?).

== Game Length ==

:What if we make it into a time loop in a Kagetsu Tohya style, where you can raise flags and accumulate points that change the second, third etc. playthroughs? That way, each time it's played, only a day passes, but we can still make progress and watch Lain cover her room in wires and coolant. EDIT: Also, I put an example of the reality-warping qualities of this story. Perhaps we could use the school days for comedy and introduce serious plot elements into the weekends? [[User:Amysteriousgal|Amysteriousgal]] 02:26, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

::I think looping on the day might be too short, unless we want to go into very minute detail,or we expect a large number of playthroughs, but in that case we would have to make a lot of content, so it might as well just be a continuous playthrough. I could see there being a bad end that is some sort of failed reset, so it goes back to almost the same, and maybe she manages to leave herself clues on the second time through (like that one star trek tng episode).[[User:Bytor|Bytor]] 03:48, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

:::I've played a bunch of slow-paced VNs recently, and there's a lot that we could do with one day, especially with the reality-warping effect. The more choices we include, the more replayable this story becomes, anyway. How about if time doesn't pass unless you make it the weekend? That would mean that the school day options won't change between playthroughs, but the weekend options will constantly change for a few days. On the ending menu after a day, the player can choose to go back and select another story or to live another day as Lain. After the first playthrough, I think this waking up scene won't be used anymore, but there can be an option that says "Today is... A weekday/A weekend". ...Or we could just organise this game into about a week's worth of, uh, Laining? The problem there is that we're forced to follow her actual weekly schedule, while the daily loop option would let us (and the readers) to be more flexible in which days to read about. Hmm... The reset idea is nice. Have you written any mystery stories before? I always wanted to try it. [[User:Amysteriousgal|Amysteriousgal]] 08:34, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

::::I like the idea of "looping" with variation. Perhaps making the weekend days special somehow could improve the pacing in the long run. Also, I am going to adapt the term Laining into my vocabulary. --[[User:アラベスク|アラベスク]] 09:54, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

:::::Just threw some ideas on there for daily looping. It should be easy to adapt if we decide to make the chronology linear, though. Does it seem interesting so far? It'll need a lot of expanding, of course... [[User:Amysteriousgal|Amysteriousgal]] 16:09, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

::::I feel like making it only one day, but adding this content and structure to make each playthrough is making it more complicated than necessary. Like, if someone is going to play it through multiple days, where they do different things, why not just play through several things, and if we want events to happen that aren't based on the day of the week, just have them based on the player reaching certain milestones, like point counters or something? [[User:Bytor|Bytor]] 16:15, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

::::Regarding schedules, other than school, and going out to party, I don't think there's much that would be affected by day of the week (and even then, it seemed like the kids in SEL were irresponsible and partied at the club on whatever day it was, rather than just Friday). I think it would be neat to have one or two end-of-game type events, like have there be a huge party at Cyberia, or the knights make a move, in two weeks. That way, there are goal events you could work toward, and then there could be like a bad end reset, or mediocre end like she just continues to be shy and doesn't do much. [[User:Bytor|Bytor]] 16:15, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

:::::Since there are three types of points, we could have a big event that you can do for each if it gets high enough.[[User:Bytor|Bytor]] 16:22, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

::::::A fair point. It would be a million times easier to structure it without the loop. For the "plot", maybe some comedic reality slippage happens, and Lain runs around secretly patching things up... Imagine if, I don't know, a LOLcat was found sitting on the teacher's desk at school when NAVI=2, or a giant tomato appears in the sky when Weird=3, or something. What if we have different endings depending on which point scale is maxed out first? Maximum Social would take place in Cyberia, where Lain maybe wins a karaoke contest; maximum NAVI might make Lain move back into the Wired and spend her days cyberstalking Alice; maximum Weird might lead to a reset which causes bear suits to become in fashion. [[User:Amysteriousgal|Amysteriousgal]] 16:37, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

== Tone ==
I like the idea of keeping this one light-hearted, slice of life style, since the others will probably be more serious. [[User:Bytor|Bytor]] 16:18, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

:I heard someone claim that Lain fans have no sense of humour. That sounds like a challenge... [[User:Amysteriousgal|Amysteriousgal]] 16:40, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

:: I think coloring will be an important part of this. I think flatter coloring, with less shading and more contrast would be best, and maybe have the background be bright and happy most of the time, but maybe still have Lain be moody looking? [[User:Bytor|Bytor]] 16:45, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

:::Hidamari Sketch-like pastel colours and probably cute and simple patterns - waves, large polka dots - during dialogue scenes... There should be plenty of cheerful music from TAM Music Factory that we can use. All the other characters can be similarly unshaded and pastelified - although all that black hair... [[User:Amysteriousgal|Amysteriousgal]] 17:00, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

::::So maybe a random storyline like this would work? Also, augh help I can't write comedy [[User:Amysteriousgal|Amysteriousgal]] 01:23, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

:::::I think we've definitely got the beginnings of a good plan here. As much as I do enjoy the brainstorming for this one, we probably ought to actually put our efforts into one the stories you've already made good progress on writing, so that we've got a better feel of the process. I'll have my evenings (CST -6) free starting Tuesday; until then I'll mostly be poking at this, so my efforts may stick to this story until then, but after that I am up for getting serious with this project. I personally have done basically zero writing, but I think if we bounce ideas around enough we can mold them into some kind of story, and as long as we keep it from being too SRS BSNS, we could probably find some subtle jokes and silliness to insert.[[User:Bytor|Bytor]] 03:24, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

== Structure ==
What kind of level of choices do we want in this? If we lean towards a small number, it will be simpler to design, and more effort will be spent on writing longer pieces of content, but more choices will allow us to have more scenes that are divergent, though they will necessarily be shorter. I guess I'm asking: do we want breadth or depth? I've only played maybe 3-4 VNs myself, so I don't have a very good idea of what is the norm, but I could see it being 2-4 choices per day, depending on the day and choices taken.[[User:Bytor|Bytor]] 22:28, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

== Quick ideas ==

In a pastiche of the cute-girls-doing-cute-things trope of school clubs, could Lain's school (I need to put my mind to a nice punny name for it) suddenly find itself with a computer club?

I also rather like the idea of sending Taro and Myu-Myu to Lain's school.

Alice as class rep would be a nice little nod to, ahem, too. Ahania 22:35, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

Lain Visual Novel Project

2012-12-19T22:30:58Z

Ahania: /* Staff */

On 2012-12-15, several users of [[Mebious.co.uk]] decided to make a visual novel based on [[Serial Experiments Lain]].

It will consist of a collection of short stories and use the Ren'Py visual novel engine.

==Staff==
*[[user:Amysteriousgal|Amysteriousgal]] - Writer, possible artist
*[[user:bytor|bytor]] - editor, maybe writer
*[[user:アラベスク|アラベスク]] - audio stuff, Japanese translation, general enthusiast
*[[user:Ahania|Ahania]] - tentative writer and programmy-stuff-do-er

==Plan==
The text used for the VN will be collected here in a page in the next section. Each page represents one short story idea that will be included. Feel free to add your own ideas or to choose an existing one to write up.

Music will be Creative Commons (any non-ND license). Possible source: http://archive.org/details/nineinchnails_ghosts_I_IV

Backgrounds should mostly be made from anime screencaps. Some specific ones may need to be drawn or adapted from photos.

Character sprites will need to be drawn. (I'll try to draw some if she has time, but I can't guarantee quality. -Amysteriousgal)

Everything will then be assembled into a visual novel. (I'll try my best to do this, but I'm really not capable of anything beyond the basics at the moment. It's fortunate that Ren'Py has been around for long enough for there to be guides to practically everything. -Amysteriousgal)

==Stories==
*'''[[Love Experiments Lain]]'''
** A dating sim with Lain, where the player plays as himself. Possible choice of which of the 3 Lain personalities to date?
** '''Writer needed'''

*'''[[A day in the life of Lain]]'''
** A light comedy where you go to school, explore the Wired, flirt with Alice, hallucinate, fulfill the prophecy, fend off your other self and try not to be too socially awkward.
** '''Writer needed'''

*'''[[Becoming God]]'''
** The conspiracy from Eiri's point of view, beginning with the modification to Protocol 7 and finishing with the incarnation of Lain. Sort of a prequel to the anime.
** '''Writer needed'''

*'''[[Come to the Wired]]'''
** Chisa's story, leading up to her suicide. Also sort of like a prequel.
** First draft completed

*'''[[Visual Novel Experiments Lain]]'''
** Visual novel adaptations of the text snippets found in [[Visual Experiments Lain]].
** In progress
