AU PLANNING MEME (FEBRUARY + MARCH)

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>

What's a fanalis, out of curiosity?

[flying_chains]

In canon (and more or less the same in BNW), the Fanalis are a tribe/race of badass hunters and warriors who all have superhuman strength, speed, toughness, and senses at the cost of being really lousy at magic (In this universe they have a noted antipathy for pokemon, who tend to think they smell funny.).

In BNW, the Fanalis were very small in number, so the ones who didn't leave their homeland to be warriors or bodyguards or whatever ended up getting overwhelmed by regular humans and captured to be sold as slaves, scattering them across the world and basically destroying anything resembling a Fanalis culture. Morgiana was captured when she was a tiny little kid and so knows basically nothing about them.

I like that explanation of why they're not great with Pokemon. XD

I probably could've made something like that work, though. Still, I dunno if Adell could be descended from that tribe and not know it, though with much of its traits washed out?

It is possible he might have had a bit of fanalis blood a couple generations back. Or maybe he's just also a redhead who's strong by total coincidence. Either way, Morgiana would at least ask him about it, to which "Never heard of them" might just be the answer!
