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: Stark
Contact Info: starkxravingxmad @plurk

Character Name: Clif Fittir
Canon Name: Star Ocean: Till the End of Time
Brief History: Brawler with a heart of gold is secretly the founder/under cover member of an anti government organization and ends up abducting a college kid who may or may not have the power to save the world. He's huge, friendly, likes to tease, and is much smarter than he looks.

AU Ideas: I'm still working on the details here, because Cliff is a tad tricky for me to AU and maintain lots of his canon elements-- but, I'm running with the idea of him being a Calderan Earthkin, God of War with the fighting/flying/steel types. He was probably in a mid-level command position in the military before he willfully surrendered to prevent the rest of his unit from being annihilated. It ended badly-- all of his pokemon team were MIA/KIA, and much of his unit still fell-- and he ended up in a Gigas prison. The only reason he wasn't considered for the Enhanced program is because he was far too volitile in his temper to even risk having un-restrained.

Eventually he broke out in a situation that most likely involved lots of bloodied heads and broken walls and he made his way back to civilization. Upon his recovery from injuries sustained, he made his Union to see what all the fuss with this place is.

Looking For: Friend/Allies past and present, training buddies, military contacts, people he knew from the prisons, people to potentially abduct for good cause. He also has a not!adopted teenage daughter in canon, so if anyone wants to help with an analogue of that, it'd be totally sweet.

Anything else?:

Hot Calderan military guy you say?

[aerialassault]

How old are you again? He's a little wary about dating someone too young... he's 36 yanno.

[platinumlucifer]

Who said anything about dating? She can still appreciate someone who is attractive, especially at that age. If anything, she'll just shamelessly flirt.

[aerialassault]

Well, there's an awful lot to admire on this man, and he's liable to do some admiring as well. Especially if she's a kick-ass chick with an attitude-- the girl's gotta have brains too, or its no fun.

[platinumlucifer]

She's a bad-ass sniper and stupidly smart.

[aerialassault]

Perfect. That's just his type!
