AU PLANNING MEME (APRIL + MAY)

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: Nick
Contact Info: Plurk

Character Name: Barry Allen
Canon Name: The Flash
Brief History: Barry Allen is a CSI trying to gather evidence to clear the name of his father who was imprisoned for a murder he didn't commit. One night, a particle accelerator exploded and Barry was struck by lightning. After nine months in a coma he woke up to find out that he could now jab physics in the eye and run and run crazy fast.

Now he fights crime and occasionally runs fast enough to time travel. Because Speed Force.

AU Ideas: I was actually thinking of having Barry start out as a regular old Gigan citizen and plain old human set on a scientific Path by his society but who always sort of rebelled on the down low by delving into investigative and CSI work. I'd probably keep his father being framed but for different reasons and under different circumstances (unless somebody wants to talk a Reverse Flash) like looking too closely into the Gigases or something similar. Either way, Barry will probably have a bit more of a sense of right and wrong and stubborn determination to Do The Right Thing than an average Gigan in his place.

Like canon, I'm thinking an accident might give him his powers as an effective Electric/Flying Enhanced with a focus on physics-smashing superspeed and a drawback of needing to put away 10,000 calories a day to function. From there, he'd have run to Union because... those guys know about this stuff, I guess? Right?

Looking For: Man, just about anything. People to pal around with or have to prove himself to because of being a Gigan. Reverse Flash. Mage types to talk science vs. magic with. Time travel. The chance to be a hero. I dunno, come at me. He's a good guy and likely to get involved in all kinds of junk.

Anything else?:

Needs to eat a bunch of calories? That sounds like a reason for him to hit up the sweets shop Haruka's family owns.

Heck yeah it does.

He will take all of the candy, please.
