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.)

WHAT IS IT WITH SO MANY PEOPLE HE KNEW WHO WENT MIA/KIA WHO JUST SHOW BACK UP

In other words: hell yes. I like this. Honestly, him and Thorin were probably something of a team at this rate, what with the swords and honor and both being reasonably high ranking officers. Not, I don't think, a good candidate for rivals. So just army buddies would work I believe? Sanger might've also known Thorin's younger brother, who did end up KIA some years ago.

I'M SORRY IT'S ACTUALLY PART OF SANGER'S CANON STORYLINE

It's been ages since I read the Hobbit (of course I've read the Hobbit) and I haven't watched the films beyond the first, but yes, this is good. I can definitely agree with all of this.

Unfortunately Thorin's not tall enough to ride.

APOLOGY ACCEPTED maybe I guess

Well, I will recommend the movies forever (even though the third one is going to just hurt a lot) but his AU is different from his canon attitude in a few ways anyway.

And you know, he's actually pretty tall here, but maybe not THAT tall.

I'll try to find time for it! They're so long though...

So I guess what I'm saying is I need a Rapidash Shifter. Shiny Rapidash.

[darer]

They are... it's kind of unfortunate.

Looks that way! Or just... an actual Rapidash. Or if it's any pokémon that can serve as a mount and doesn't have to be a horse, a Gogoat. Or an Arcanine.

An Arcanine mount sounds ridiculous and amazing in all the best ways, holy shit.
