AU PLANNING MEME

Given the nature of AU, below is a form that can be used for planning purposes when plotting out your character. While it is not required to fill out the form, we encourage you take a look at the listings in this post and use them as a guide when setting up plots or planning character backgrounds.

<b>Player Name:</b> (What name you go by in-game) <b>Contact Info:</b> (What is the best way to contact you for plotting purposes) <b>Character Name:</b> (The name of your character) <b>Canon Name:</b> (What canon they come from) <b>Brief History:</b> (A brief blurb about the character, does not have to be overly detailed. This is used to give a basic idea of who this character is) <b>AU Ideas:</b> (Here is where you talk about what plans you may have for your character's intended AU. Reading this, others should hopefully get an idea of what you intend to do with your character's back story pertaining to the game's setting.) <b>Looking For:</b> (This section is for hypothetical things you would like to see, be it events, people related to them, whatever; canon parallels, character proxies, all of that goes here.) <b>Anything else?:</b> (Anything that you feel has been overlooked or that should be noted goes here.)

I think I gave you a good chunk of my suggestions. Having him from outside Union (Caldera is another large-ish city that was until recently at war with the imperialist Gigas civilization) would keep that fish out of water feeling. On the other hand, Union's really big and definitely big enough to move around in. Thus far we've basically had the P4 people (aside from the Naoto who was here briefly) as being from the same neighborhood, rather than the same redneck mountain town.

And if I had to pick one to recommend, I'd go with Kindred Soul for maximum befriending and talking-to-animals factors.

Yu as Pokemon Translator...his Eevee would probably be the same as him when it comes to the swag factor.

Having him from another town would work and fit with his character as well! I would consider Caldera as where he would be staying and instead of staying with relatives, he goes on his own journey to figure out what he wants from his life and/or make friends. Parents apparently don't care in this version either

As for types...I was thinking Normal/Electric and go with Kindred Soul and be the Pokemon Whisperer?

Parents never care in the Pokémon universe
