AU PLANNING MEME

Character Name: Mami Tomoe
Canon Name: Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Brief History: In canon, Mami is a magical girl who hunts monsters called Witches. She is an unfortunate young woman who conned by Kyubey, a strange immortal creature, into giving up her humanity -- and eventually becoming a Witch. She never learns that (...in the main timeline). She is cheerful, elegant, and confident outwardly, but this hides a deep sense of loneliness.

AU Ideas: Mami is a Valkyrie from Citadel in BNW's world. Like canon, her parents died when she was young; she joined the Valkyries instead of going into being a scholar, diplomat, or performer. She is an ace Valkyrie, who has won a reputation for being quite fast and effective; she is something of a rising star among the Valkyries, so people may have heard of her. If you lived in or around Citadel, you might have heard of Mami.

Feel free to read her app here if you want the full background!

Also, Mami is eighteen instead of fifteen to keep her (somewhat) older girl thing for the setting.
Looking For: Friends! Also younger girls that she can look after. Enemies too! And people she can bake and sip tea with.

Anything else?: Mami loves cake. And guns.

Obviously CR with Mami and Lux is an absolute must, and we need to figure out how to make that happen, but it's very likely that Sanae's heard of her as well. She's a priestess of the tree, so has lived a very sheltered life. She does, however, have a lot of respect for the Valkyries, and may have a bit of a senpai crush on her as a result. MAMI'S SO COOL OKAY?

[wishingalone]

SANAE PRECIOUS CHILD

Mami will look after her and be her friend and the best big sister ever. And look after her kohai because of course she does. And they're on the same team for the event!

She also definitely needs to meet Lux! Maybe in the aftermath of the event, however that plays out? If there are gatherings or parties, Mami will go.

[miracle_miko]

I can throw a log up for Lux in the travel post if we want them to meet then.

[wishingalone]

Sure! This sounds excellent!

Character Name: John Egbert
Canon Name: Homestuck
Brief History: Originally a normal kid living in Washington. He decided one day to play a fun new computer game that ended the world. Now he and his friends have to fight through the game to hopefully create a new universe, but surviving is proving to be the harder goal to achieve.

John is, despite being a warhammer toting, reality defying, sixteen-year-old with near god-like powers, a complete goober and nerd. He has a love of terrible movies, pranks, magic tricks. He's honest to a fault, a little feisty, but generally well meaning. He cares a lot about his friends and isn't afraid to take a bullet if it means keeping them safe.

AU Ideas: SO mostly I am testing the waters for interest. I've had John in the game before WAAAAY back at game start. He was a Ghost/Poison Gastly shifter and secret member of the Divine Defense Force. I didn't have him in the game for long so I didn't get much beyond that. He was the original working leader of the team before he gladly passed it onto Ogami.

NOW. For what he's been doing all this time. I figured he'd spent some time in school at his Dad's request but also I'm thinking he got sent out on a mission and wound up beyond reach of the warp bands since he would have left before they got their upgrade.

He won't be coming back until after this recent plot because SURPRISE he's probably going to have been either near or in Sanctuary this whole time. Oops. If all goes well he'll be coming home with everyone else.

And then he'll go back to the theater and try to catch back up. SO THERE YOU HAVE IT

Anything else?:

Despite the gif he's not actually very windy in this game, I wanted to follow a different path with him and play on more of his interests instead (I have played windy johns for literally four years ok) though i may still rework his enlightened abilities, we will have to see.

[ladyofluminosity]

HELLO DARKNESS YOUR OLD FRIEND.

[thewindything]

so how fucked is he

[ladyofluminosity]

this fucked

[thewindything]

HAVE MERCY

I hope you're prepared for him to make a huge deal out of her getting married.

by which i mean he's going to rant for a whole hour about WHO IS THIS ASSHOLE WHO SAID IT WAS OKAY TO GIVE YOU AWAY I HAVEN'T APPROVED OF HIM YET I DEMAND AN AUDIENCE AND I WILL DEEM HIM WORTHY OF YOUR HAND BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH FISTICUFFS BLAH BLAH

[ladyofluminosity]

holy savior john you met him remember with the spearows calm down geez.

Also I hope he's got a nice suit, or else one will be provided for him when he's properly put into the wedding party.

[thewindything]

Oh that guy.






THAT GUY???????????????????

WEREN'T YOU ENGAGED TO SOMEONE ELSE?????????????

yeah sure he can find a suit. His dad probably has a whole closet in preparation for the moment that john would ask him for something respectable to wear. His dad is kind of weird. but at least he cleans up nice!

[ladyofluminosity]

omg where have you been John she hasn't been engaged to that noodle for over a ye--







oh.

[thewindything]

Character Name: Natsumi Hikari
Canon Name: Kamen Rider Decade
Brief History: A young tsundere woman who took in an amnesiac jerk who ended up being revealed as Kamen Rider Decade, the "Destroyer of Worlds". She travels with him, her grandfather, and a few others in their dimension-hopping photo studio in an attempt to save all the worlds from merging and thereby being destroyed.

AU Ideas: Obviously, no world-hopping here! She's a third-generation Unionite who helps run her family business, the Hikari Photo Studio. The grandfather in question is a Malamar Shifter who migrated to Union when he was a young Inkay years and years ago, but is mostly harmless these days. She's a Psychic-type Egg Master who's actually a decent photographer herself! She' been staying out of the whole "fighting Gigas" deal and focusing on her family business...

Until a certain amnesiac jerk ends up in her life, dragging her into this whole mess. Presumably.
Looking For: Anyone involved in the photography field, either as customers or fellow photographers. Also, anyone that may have grown up with her as classmates and such. Of course, if her pending castmate Tsukasa is also accepted, anyone that deals with him will most likely end up getting to know her, since she's the one that helps keep him in line most of the time.

Anything else?: She has a very mean thumb

[chaoticdrifting]

Character Name: Excellen Browning
Canon Name: Super Robot Wars: Original Generation
Brief History: Excellen is a sniper mecha pilot pervert mom and also part alien due to an accident that nearly killed her. Also has an alien clone and a parallel world version of herself.

Yeah, SRW is complicated.

AU Ideas: Excellen is a member of the Steel Battalion, formerly serving under Thorin Oakenshield. When she was younger (probably between 12-13), she, along with a few other student-cadets, were caught in the conflict between Gigas and Caldera near Sanctuary. Only she, along with one other student (Kyosuke Nanbu) survived. However, very seriously injured, Excellen was taken in by people of Sanctuary--outside of Gigan jurisdiction--due to proximity, as well as due to the power of certain magi healers. She was released months later and brought back to Caldera. Due to the nature of her injuries, she wouldn't return to training for another year or so.

Excellen has been serving as a soldier since she was 18, and is an extremely gifted sniper and Engineer. She was recently re-assigned to Union in order to bolster their fighting force. She will be a Flying/Normal Engineer.

Anything else?: Excellen is an insatiable flirt, and loves to tease people. Hide yo kids hide yo wife cause Excell-oneesama's coming to town.

Tough luck

Character Name: Kadoya Tsukasa
Canon Name: Kamen Rider Decade
Brief History: ONORE DIKEIDO!
Anyways, he is amnesiac jerk who wandered into a photo studio one day and ends up finding out that he is actually the Destroyer of Worlds, the former Great Leader of DaiShocker (one of those huge evil empires that connects to all the evil empires EVER) and Kamen Rider Decade. He has a bunch of adventures with the gang at the Hikari Photo Studio, traveling worlds and being a pest and sometimes 'accidently' killing all the Riders until a tsundere woman turns into a Rider and kills him.

And then her and his buddies Yuusuke and Daiki recreated him from nothing and they go on all sorts of adventures.

AU Ideas:
There is no world/dimensional hopping or anything. He is still an amnesiac jerk that is wandering around the country side with his Purrloin and a camera trying to figure out where he is suppose to be and what he is suppose to be doing when he's there until this tsundere woman takes him in because someone has to make sure he is behaving.

What I have planned is that he is a God of War with initial Dark-typing that had been a very rich person who, after losing his parents, started developing Enlightened abilities and was taken in by a trusted family retainer in order to train him into a soldier for something. He ends up in the clash of armies probably leading a small group and gets some serious damage that lands him in the care of people who do manage to put him together but he forgets that he is suppose to actually not like the Union side of things.
Looking For: People that might have actually fought him at one point in time, people that might want to befriend him, people that are willing to call him on his BS.

Anything else?:

[summerorange]

/sobs I KNEW I FORGOT SOMETHING

Aka, that woman is Natsumi, and yes, she does become a Rider and kills him...and later revives him. And breaks the female Rider curse and LIVES post-canon

[summerorange]

STOP BEING A JERK, THEN :\

[chaoticdrifting]

NATSUMIKAN!

/dissolves into a lot of laughing

[chaoticdrifting]

and gets a figureARTs figure made of her

At least she doesn't have to do that here?

[summerorange]

Oh frack yes! :D

THANK GOD THAT'S NOT AN OPTION AT THIS POINT

But she'll still keep him in line; no questions asked.
