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: Box
Contact Info: likeabox

Character Name: James Sunderland
Canon Name: Silent Hill 2
Brief History: Once upon a time, James was a nice, normal clerk from some town in Maine. But everything changed when terminal illness attacked. Uh, not him. His wife Mary, actually. One day, long after her apparent death, James received a letter in her handwriting, saying that she was waiting for him in Silent Hill. So like any well-adjusted husband, he drove there to find out. This goes extremely well for everybody. Yes.

AU Ideas: So in this AU, Mary isn't dead yet! Hooray! Unfortunately, while they were visiting the Lake Shrine, Mary became very ill, and things have been... tense, ever since. Other than that, though, James is a fairly average clerk/record keeper in Union. He's probably Far From Ordinary, with Normal typing. Starter's probably a poliwag with the very original name of Polly. Look, he's not good at these things.

Oh, yeah, and you can count on him to jump into any suspicious/deadly holes.
Looking For: Well! Are there any other record keepers in Union he would know? Doctors to shout at? Spooky fog covered towns to visit?

Anything else?:

Yes, actually! There's a large organization of them, called the Seekers. They have a chapter in Union and Caldera.

Oh, awesome! He'll probably help out managing/keeping track of the artifacts retrieved from the field in Union, then! :D

[ladyofluminosity]

In that case, he'd probably know Lux here. She's a bit young, but works with the Seekers. She's also disgustingly intelligent.

Oh, this should be fun then!
