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.)

Character Name: Demon Queen
Canon Name: Maoyuu
Brief History: Demon Queen is the 43rd Demon Lord, who wishes to unite both the human and demon worlds together. She sees their constant warring as pointless and counterproductive and, with the help of Hero and quite a few others, helps progress the human world towards self-sustainability, while telling the demon world to cool their tits.

AU Ideas: Hoo boy, this one's a bit complicated here. I'll try to give the reader's digest version.

- The Maou family is a family of spirit channelers within Sanctuary, a smaller-ish settlement currently annexed by Gigas. They're fairly affluent, despite some... quirks (see next point down).
- The Maous are generally bad news bears. Most of the old family are made of of criminals and tyrants, and they seem to make it a habit of getting exiled. But keep getting invited back because they've probably learned their lesson; this happens every few generations.
- Demon Queen (human name pending, leaning toward Cybille) is not a colossal jerk! However, given Sanctuary's situation, she isn't as "Gigas is bad!" as some. She wants to see a world where all parties can coexist.
- Stuff involving Hiro (Hero), childhood friends, blah blah adorable babbies blah blah
- Demon Queen comes to Union along with Hiro, who is acting as a body guard for reasons.

She will be affiliated with the Seekers, and I hope to get her a job with the University fairly immediately. Her big goal is trying to get everyone to get along, and part of that is using past knowledge stored away through spirit medium stuff to help nudge things along. In-canon, Demon Queen, through the knowledge of the great library, as well as her own intellect, manages to help pull the human world out of the feudal era and, up to the most recent chapter, through the very, very beginnings of an industrialized era. She's done much the same for the demon world, but there are some tribes that are less receptive to her methodology, seeing her as weak.

Her powers will also cause some trouble later on, but that's not necessarily something to worry about at the moment.
Looking For: Students, friends from Caldera (which she would be spending some time in briefly), backers. People that might view her ideas badly as well, as they are pretty progressive. To her, war is a necessary evil, although not one she terribly likes. The whole not viewing Gigas in as poor of light as the rest of Union might create an interesting dynamic as well, although she'll be keeping that view under lock and key most of the time.

Castmates would be so much love, but seriously, who the hell plays from this canon.

Anything else?:

EDUTAINMENT~

I'm still sorting out what exactly I'm doing with Musica here, but he's definitely going to be a Caldera native who's recently joined/is looking to join up with the Seekers, so he might have bumped into her! ... Of course there's the distinct possibility she could recognize him as a delinquent kid

Lucina will probably not be able to get along with her if she ever mentions that she thinks Gigas isn't that bad, considering what Gigas did to Ylisse.

She won't say it in so many words. In fact, she won't say it in any, because that's political suicide, so there's the very real chance that, as I've noted above, it won't even come up for most characters. Generally her stance is that everyone can co-exist and even get along if they work together, Gigas included. She doesn't necessarily support their methods, but she believes that everyone can work together.
