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.)

Sanae's a lot stupidier less serious, but sure! She's an extremely strong Enlightened, and was made a priestess for this reason, so it fits. Her powers are more weather and nature-based, though.

She has lived most of her life in the service of the great tree, within a convent sort of deal. Does that still work with what you have in mind? It could be that he was taken in there as a child.

Hey, still sounds like a Sage to me

I think it still works :|a A lot of the background details I have at this point are pretty ambiguous, so I think it's entirely plausible that he visited as a kid, either via adult supervision or because he snuck off and went Exploring and thus poking around in places he probably shouldn't be.

[miracle_miko]

Why not both? Sneaking it would be super cute, Sanae would definitely play with him if he did =O

[songoftime]

Oh, man, that would be adorable. If he was brought there by his Heroic Uncle for... idk, maybe his uncle was there to talk to someone official, and then he snuck off away from the boring grown-up talk.

Are you playing kid Link, then? Since you mentioned that he's MM Link, I assume so.

[songoftime]

Yup! Though I was thinking more of very early OoT Link, 'cause like... MM implies that Link has been on a lot of adventures already, and not to mention there's the whole "adult(ish) mind in a kid's body" thing going on. I'm not entirely sure how I'd want to handle that?

So I figured it'd be easier just to aim for an early OoT canon point instead, basically, and have him go through a bunch of adventures over the course of the game itself. The downside is that he won't have a lot of the maturity under his belt... But this approach would also be a lot of fun.

[miracle_miko]

I totally agree. In that case, Sanae's about twice his age, so she can definitely big sister at him. He can tell her about the city outside of the convent, because she doesn't really remember it (she's been there since she was about two or three when she awakened as an Enlightened).

[songoftime]

Awwwwwwww. God, that's really cute. ;a; Yeah, he's going to be an actual ten-year-old and he'll get to stay that way (... barring some odd kind of event). Which actually makes me happy on another level, 'cause... Link didn't get to have a childhood... But, hopefully here, he'll be able to have some kind of semblance of one.

Sanae will show him everything there is to offer around Union. It's such a fun city, she knows he'll love it!
