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: Fel
Contact Info: plurk: Tenfel | AIM: erraticExcursionist

Character Name: Danny Fenton
Canon Name: Danny Phantom
Brief History: A socially outcast 14 year old dork who really wanted to be an astronaut until his mad scientist/ghost hunter parents' portal to the ghost zone half-killed him and turned him into a ghost/human hybrid with 2spoopy powers. Now he fights evil ghosts and tries to balance his life as Amity Park's new much-maligned ghostly superhero with his life as a human highschooler, all while struggling to gain control of his ghost powers and keep them a secret from everyone around him. including his parents. especially his parents.

AU Ideas: Tentatively planning for him to be from outside of Union! probably born in Caldera originally, but his parents move around a lot trying to investigate the world's spookiest places for their ghost-type research and they drag their kids with them, so he's lived in a few places and wasn't living there when the war with Gigas really began heating up. Danny and his family recently moved to Union so his parents could study the forest shrine and the connection to ghosts/the spirit world that part of the population has.

I'm thinking of trying to mirror Danny's canon situation in that Danny wasn't born Enlightened; after moving to Union, his parents try to develop a Ghost-type Enhanced item that performs a similar "bridging" effect to that done by mediums only WITH SCIENCE!, something happens that results in Danny getting zapped by it, and suddenly we have a Ghost/Normal Enlightened who may or may not be half-dead. (i'm thinking Kindred Soul for his ability but that's up in the air right now!)

Looking For: spoopy types to help him get control of his powers shamelessly pranking him and making his life difficult is also an acceptable alternative! fellow teenagers for him to make friends with. maybe anyone from outside of Union who might have met him while his parents were dragging him and his sister over most of the known world? i would also love enemies or antagonistic CR honestly YOU CAN GO FOR ANYTHING.

Anything else?: i apologise in advance for the amount of terrible puns this boy makes. union is not ready.

[missrunnerup]

i call this meeting of the "oh god why did my parents have to meddle with spoopy things" club to order?

[halfterlife]

hello yes i would like to apply to be the vice-president of this club

IN ALL SERIOUSNESS THOUGH wow this is CR i would very much love to have!! would you prefer to go the pre-established route or start from scratch?

[missrunnerup]

It's looking like it might be unlikely she has a lot of friends at the start/I might be skewing her a little more people-shy-Pokemon-friendly, so starting from scratch miiiight be better? But either is good! Everyone needs a friend or two :|b

I'm so sorry it took 500000 years to get my act together and get back to this app plan /)-(\

[halfterlife]

I'm good with either, so if scratch is better for you I'm down for that :]b

also gosh it's okay, i have a tendency to be Captain Slow myself at times, you're fine nwn/
