AU PLANNING MEME (DECEMBER + JANUARY)

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.

<span style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 13px;"><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.)</span>

Player Name: Sheepy
Contact Info: sheepyton

Character Name: Vivi Ornitier
Canon Name: Final Fantasy IX
Brief History: A black mage who was created to be a soulless death machine, is instead an adorable wooby.

AU Ideas: HOO BOY okay I hope you all like angst. Vivi is an Enhanced child, initially created to bolster Gigas' army. He, along with quite a few others created with similar powers to him, has a very large flaw, however: in exchange for his Enhanced powers, he and his "siblings" have a very shortened lifespan. While it is not nearly as short as it is in canon (roughly a year), it is very unlikely that any who went through the same horrific transformation that he did will see adulthood. He will have no memory of any of this, or where he's originally from when apped in.

I'm toying with the idea of having him and the other "black mages" be from Mist, because I love crossing streams and puns and etc. Going Dark and either Normal or Psychic/Dragon for his typing, and Egg Mastery for his ability. Because why not.

He'll also have the rudest Murkrow in existence, because this poor child can never catch a break.
Looking For: Someone please take this adorable child under your wing. Other than that, Vivi needs friends to make him stop questioning his own existence (or at least get that down to a min) and help bolster his courage at least a little bit.

Anything else?:



Character Name: Zidane Tribal
Canon Name: Final Fantasy IX
Brief History: Monkey boy becomes a hero (somehow), gets the girl.

AU Ideas: This one isn't nearly as fleshed out as Vivi, but Mankey shifter is a must. Like Vivi, would be some kind of Enhanced (plot enhanced), planted into Union to keep an eye on them. Except. He's kind of forgotten about that. Best secret weapon ever, this one.
Looking For: Terrible influences, or people he can be terrible influences on. People he can hang on to. Really, this boy is a handful who would want to be his friend.

Anything else?:

HELLO DID SOMEONE ASK FOR AN ADOPTION. Hayato has a weakness for kids and also he's enhanced??? yes

[timedmage]

oh no this would be cute

[expertonshutters]

get ready for piggy backs and training lessons. Just don't set him on fire it's his ownly weakness.

Geo still has yet to figure out the whole friendship thing, but when he does, I bet he and Vivi would be really cute friends!

... Alternatively Zidane could be a terrible influence on Geo, I'm not picky.

Poor child needs a place to stay? Martin's good for that :D

Or if Zidane's a troublemaker, he could also know Martin from his Sword days
