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>

Rose grew up in Caldera until she didn't, because things went south with her adopted dad, when their military unit didn't protect a Calderan VIP. Thus, they became a mixture of merchants and secret mercenaries/assassins/et cetera. So she could have known Ryuko, because of orphans in Caldera!

With things to discover later. They might be friends? Rose is pretty go get 'em and intuitive, if not quite as shouty as Ryuko is. (But who is?)

Man, Ryuko would think that is such bullshit!

But, yeah, they could be friends. Ryuko might have her beat in shoutiness but Ryuko'll probably appreciate Rose's straightforwardness enough that they could get along. I'm still working on if Ryuko was actually adopted by a Calderan family or ended up in an orphanage but I imagine a couple orphaned kids could have crossed paths at some point.

Ooooh sounds good to me! Rose is definitely straightforward. Perhaps to a fault sometimes. They could have lived nearby and played as kids or something?

(Or Rose lived near where Ryuko stayed, if she was on the streets. Either/or.)

[guitar_case_vagabond]

Ryuko wasn't a street kid. I'm leaning toward growing up in an orphanage but they could easily have been old childhood friends before Rose was adopted. Maybe running into each other for the first time in so many years in the game?

Ooo, sure! That sounds good to me! Old friends reunite!

[guitar_case_vagabond]

I like it! Ryuko'll be kinda surprised to see her old friend heading a mercenary/merchant group but, hey, gives her some incentive to catch up.

[sparrowfeathered]

Yeah! And Rose'll be a little surprised to find Ryuko out there, to say the least. But, that's a good thing!
