AU PLANNING MEME

Character Name: Allelujah Haptism
Canon Name: Mobile Suit Gundam 00
Brief History: Allelujah was an orphan who was taken in by an institute attempting to create super soldiers. He was subject to experimentation until he escaped, and then joined Celestial Being, a private armed organization intent on the eradication of war. There he served as an antagonist to help unite the world, then fought against the order when it turned out to be corrupt.

AU Ideas: I'm thinking of Allelujah being a test subject for Gigas, then escaping and finding his way to Caldera. That's all I've got for now.
Looking For: Nothing in particular.

Anything else?: Nope.

Character Name: Senri
Canon Name: +Anima
Brief History:

Senri was born into a nomadic mountain tribe. When he was 8 years old he was taken on his first hunt. It went badly. Very badly. A crazed man-eating bear was involved. He lost an eye and accidentally killed his father. Like I said, it went bad. Then his tribe was nearly wiped out by a nearby militaristic nation and the survivors sold into slavery. Another five years or so after that, he was traveling with his master as part of a large caravan and they were attacked and during the confusion he fell off a cliff. They left him for dead. He wasn't though. Also he's part bear.

AU Ideas:

As far as the AU, I'm trying to stick as close to the pre-canon history as I can. Still part of a mountain tribe, in this case a shifter instead of a +Anima. Still accidentally killed is father on a hunting trip involving a mad.... well lets say Ursaring in this case. Tribe still attacked, in this case by Gigas, still sold into slavery. And at the end still accidentally separated from his master and assumed dead.

Only in this case, instead of Abon village, he wanders into a group of Teddiursa living in some caves. Being a Teddiursa shifter, they allow him to stay. If the mods let me get away with it, those Teddiursa are on the losing side of a territory conflict with some Mankeys. They were nice to him, so Senri tries to help. He teaches the Teddiursa how to set traps and snares which gives them an unfair advantage. Which only enrages the Mankeys and the dispute escalates and well, hopefully someone goes out there to mediate. Especially because unwary travelers can be caught in traps just as easily as unwary Pokemon...

Looking For: Someone to try to push him into interacting with humans. Also other people who prefer the company of Pokemon.

Anything else?: I'm really bad at plotting memes. Hopefully any of that made sense. ^^;

Character Name: Chris Ramirez
Canon Name: Kamen Rider Dragon Knight
Brief History: Chris is a Delver and though his mother fully supports her son's independence and choice in a unique career, his father doesn't approve as Chris is the only Ramirez who can continue the proud line of Rangers. As such Chris and his dad aren't really speaking.

AU Ideas: Hmm. Nothing really strikes at me right now.
Looking For: All the cr. Seriously, I'm looking at both past and current CR and anyone who may know or knew his parents as his mother was a Guard and his father is a Ranger from a long line of Rangers. Also he needs friends, enemies and maybe even a girlfriend keeping him from doing something foolhardy, brave and/or stupid.

Anything else?: He does possess extraordinary sense of loyalty, and also has moderate asthma which springs up from time to time, particularly when he does more physical work than he should.

Character Name: Kyoko Sakura
Canon Name: Puella Magi Madoka Tragica Magica
Brief History: Kyoko is a veteran magical girl with a tragic past. She's brash, is pretty quick to anger, and at first glance seems self-centered. She's also usually seen with food of some sort.

AU Ideas: I...don't have too much right now, but I'm leaning towards her being from Citadel. As for Enlightened stuff, I'm thinking Child of the Howling Gale, with a Psychic/Fire typing.

Looking For: Anything and everything! Previous CR is kind of unlikely, seeing as Citadel was just discovered, but potential CR or ideas to help me along with this would be great!

Anything else?:

Character Name: Kuzuryuu Fuyuhiko
Canon Name: Super Dangan Ronpa 2
Brief History: He's the son of the leader of the largest yakuza organization in Japan and received an invitation to a special high school because of it. He basically eats, drinks, and breathes gangster, but gets mad touchy over the fact that he has the looks of like a ten-year-old girl.

AU Ideas: Son of the leader of the now-strongest criminal organization in Union City, though the state of things is such that they're still largely hidden in the shadows, not yet strong enough to secure a foothold in above-ground politics. Mostly they deal with illegal and rare goods, often salvaged from the Old City, and possibly dabble to a lesser extent in unethical Pokemon usage.

Fuyuhiko himself is a shiny Poochyena Shifter, not particularly skilled in battle but combative and rude despite that.

Looking For: Foremost on my mind is working out all the kinks that come with integrating a criminal organization into Union City. I'd also be THRILLED to establish previous CR with other shady types and to meet people interested in talking money and politics and crime in the city. Fuyuhiko's not actually a BAD kid at heart, but he's dedicated to the yakuza way of life and to his family and to proving himself.

Anything else?: I've been planning to join this game for literal months, hi everyone, don't mind me, I'm just hella excited.

[mastermedium]

[pocketmobster]

YOU KNOW HOW OLD HE IS HE INVITED YOU TO HIS TENTH BIRTHDAY PARTY THAT WAS LIKE TEN YEARS AGO

[pocketmobster]

GOD SHUT UP WHO DIED AND MADE YOU QUEEN OF EVOLVING FIRST

Actually did someone have to die is that a thing with spooky ghost shit

[mastermedium]

wow no one died

except maybe your sense of humour

[pocketmobster]

Hey I'm not judging, sometimes people get dead, shit happens

[mastermedium]

...mobsters

[thefloorislava]

puppy

LEA might know of this kid and his family. He went through a period of being a nasty sort of criminal guy a few years back.

[pocketmobster]

Oh man, what's Lea doing now, did he ditch the yakuza? You don't ditch the yakuza man you just don't

[thefloorislava]

HE WENT TO JAIL!! GOSH

And now he works at the habitat being King of the Mother Hens to every pokemon. Cleaned up his act and all that

[pocketmobster]

Uh-huh suuuuUUURREEE

[thefloorislava]

Player Name: Des and Val
Contact Info: deathdesu and danderly respectively!

Character Name: Rin and Len Kagamine
Canon Name: Vocaloids
Brief History: They're robots! They sing! That's pretty much it!!

AU Ideas: They're a couple of androids from the old world that slept through the entire apocalypse only to be reactivated recently. As enlightened, they'll be steel/electric, natch.

Looking For: Connections in the entertainment district, and possibly whoever discovered and reactivated them? And maybe some guardians would be cool, if anyone wants to adopt a pair of hyperactive eternally-14-year-olds.

Anything else?:

[roadrolled]

We make no promises that they won't set Pokemon loose in your house and ruin all your furniture.

Player Name: Ben
Contact Info: Omniarcan on plurk.

Character Name: Tharja
Canon Name: Fire Emblem: Awakening
Brief History: A dark mage that betrays her country because she's not particularly loyal; later gets the hots for the main character and basically puts them ahead of everything.

AU Ideas: Probably go with parents died when she was young, wanted to become a ghost, wish-granted Enlightened Shifter style. Now, a few years down the road, works as a scholar of some sort-haven't decided that in specific yet.
Looking For: Perhaps a friend that knew her before she was a shifter? She's going to be in her late teens/early twenties now, so her parents probably died when she was a young teen.

And! Talking to one or both Robins, to figure out if she's obsessed with them and why (and if she knows why, I know you both told mods secrets at least compared to what's on your apps.)

Character Name: Estelle Bright
Canon Name: Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky
Brief History: Estelle is a tomboyish, brash, exuberant young woman who works as a Bracer in her canon -- basically, a paid do-gooder. It's a story about growing up, figuring out who she is, and dealing with vast conspiracies seeking to control the world that accidentally imperil it too.

AU Ideas: She's from Caldera! She joined the Seekers and probably knows the ones who aren't new recruits, despite being new: her dad, Cassius, is a fairly well-ranked, famous member. He was a member of Caldera's army for that.
Looking For: People who know Cassius or Estelle would be great! Especially people from Caldera, because obviously. Preexisting CR is love. She doesn't have family members, but friends and such? Bring it on!

Anything else?: De nada.
