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.)

Player Name: Kerry
Contact Info: nyatsuhi

Character Name: Vector
Canon Name: Yu-Gi-Oh! ZeXal
Brief History: An innocent, well-meaning kid that gets his friends into all kinds of troublesome situations despite totally not meaning to...
...just kidding! He's an evil, insane rock alien thing, and extremely good at manipulating others, even his own 'allies'. Before he was an alien, he was a peaceful human prince who the real big bad brainwashed into insanity because of it's plans blah blah plot. He kills himself after murdering nearly everyone else in his kingdom, lol. Kids show, yeah right.

AU Ideas: ...and you can ignore most of his history, because trying to AU all that similarly to canon seems too much trouble for what it's worth.
He's definitely going to still be a two-faced, manipulative piece of crap, though. His typing will be Dark/Flying, and possibly an Analyst. I'll be honest and admit I'm only giving him that secondary type because I want him to grow his wings later.
It'd make the most sense for him to be an Enhanced, since that comes with mental instability, but I'm still thinking things through...
Looking For: If I go for making him an Enhanced, he's going to seriously do his best not to encounter/be noticed by any other ones, since he's going try to act like a 'normal' Enlightened. 'Try' being the key word here, of course: his cover isn't going to last forever, whether his deteriorating mental state ruins it or some other Enhanced recognizes 'that one seriously crazy guy'. That's where the fun is, honestly!

Either way, I would like to have people for him to fool 'befriend'. :D
If they're the type to believe in others even after being betrayed, that's even better! It's a long-term thing, but I would like him to eventually reach some kind of similar redeeming/turning good as he does in canon, so having someone to push belief in his 'good side' on him constantly until it actually sticks is probably necessary for that...

In the meantime, anyone want an annoying kid and/or a crazy villain to have conflict with?

Anything else?:

hello friend did you say avoiding other enhanced lets have a party where we avoid each other.

[chaosoverlay]

an avoidance party, is it? sounds fun

but are you sure, kamen rider-san? letting this guy do whatever isn't going to end well

[expertonshutters]

great!! glad we could agree!!!

will you be the reason he rips out the bug suit in this au because he needs a reason for the bug suit.

[chaosoverlay]

too bad there's no reasonable excuse for my character to turn into a monster like he does in canon, in this case... but yes, that would be great

[expertonshutters]

I'm sure it will be a glorious disaster. between hayato probably wanting to HELP vector and then maybe realizing he's actually too far gone.

[chaosoverlay]

Well, with all this, I'm definitely going to make Vector an Enhanced, lol. This will be fun~

[expertonshutters]

yessssssss

[evokedorpheus]

I can offer this guy for Vector to 'befriend'! Minato would probably still believe in him after being betrayed too... before and after a betrayal, Vector can expect to be fussed over, at any rate.

[chaosoverlay]

Yaay, more 'friends'!

And being fussed over? I like this idea in both cases, it'll be amusing either way.
