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: Arc
Contact Info: pm or send a plork to @ silverchaos

Character Name: Ranka Lee
Canon Name: Macross Frontier
Brief History: TINY GIRL SINGS TO BUG ALIENS WITH HELP FROM THE IDOL SHE IDOLIZES, LOVE AND MUSIC SAVE THE WORLD, and idk some boy is window-dressing

AU Ideas: I'm thinking Ranka's mother was a Bug-type Enlightened from the Citadel, researching/spending time around a bunch of Nincada because she just wants a little love for the bugs of the world? And then whoops it's evolution season and they shed and she's pregnant and stares into the Nincada's back-hole black hole and it's the equivalent of the canon virus that transfers to baby Ranka to give her Kindred Spirit and a Bug type.

(Fighting would be appropriate for her Zentradi heritage but I'm kinda sweeping that into "it's her bug-type hair" and "they're from the Citadel so it's fighting ladies"; Fairy is probably her primary type because of all the singing and BUG FAIRIES OKAY??)

...anyway, failed exorcisms around Ninetales Vale, mom is pretty much only good for teaching Ranka her trademark song, some kind of bug-type catastrophe leaves Ranka with amnesia and PTSD and thinking her whole family is dead, swept up by Ozma (soldier from Union or Caldera?), eventually allowed to run off and live in Union to pursue her musical dreams.


Looking For: Parallels for Brera and/or Ozma would be so cute I'd die -- amnesia cyborg older brother and secretly-still-military ex-military adoptive big brother. Idols idols idols idols idols idols idols. Idiot Flying-type boys and singing girls to crush on equally.

Anything else?: tl;dr had too much coffee and very excited so you get the word-vomit version instead of the coherent one, i'm so so sorry

Does Ranka still want to be an idol? Cause it can be arranged~

[missrunnerup]

As long as she has the most embarrassing audition ever

[future_sight]

But of course, I wouldn't deny you that.

But as said, μ's is kind of more like a general musume/idol group in this AU, since it's near impossible to keep the whole cast together. Ranka would be a welcome addition.

So, reenact how Ranka met Alto with a stand-in, y?

[missrunnerup]

okay, but then she's gonna teach him to make paper airplanes and boop his forehead with 'em :3c

[aerialassault]

Hey. I don't know you, and this is crazy-- but, I'll be your Ozma if you'll be my Maria, Arc-y!

[missrunnerup]

I don't know much about SO3, but what wiki-ing I've done makes it sound pretty cute! Let's do this thing somehow! o9

same player

[untalented]

Hah. There's not much to know on this front, just that the relationship with Cliff and Maria is almost a direct parallel as that of Ranka and Ozma. The only differences are that Cliff didn't hide his militaristic activities....

We can coordinate on plurk or something-- I'm slowly working on apps, but how does she feel about having a Calderan God of War as not!bro/not!dad?

Oh my god all the tiny idols I mean *ahem*

Rise hasn't got the Fairy type, let alone any Galacticness, but if you need an idol-senpai aside from μ's I am here.

RISE-SENPAI FOR BEST SENPAI
