AU PLANNING MEME (JUNE + JULY)

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: Stark
Contact Info: plurk @ starkxravingxmad

Character Name: Hinahoho
Canon Name: Magi: The Adventures of Sinbad (or Sinbad no Bouken)
Brief History: A shy young warrior from an isolated tribe in the north falls into the company of a certain upstart merchant and decides to follow him around the world. He ends up becoming a surrogate big brother/dad to half of the trading company, gets married and has a bunch of kids, and later (way later), because one of the 8 head generals of a newly formed country.

AU Ideas: The most obvious parallel for Hina here is to make him be a native to one of Glacier's fishing villages, since the cultural set up there isn't disimilar to that of the Imuchakk tribes in canon. He's still a young warrior, enlightened of the Ice and Fighting types-- probably with Mastery of Battle-- who is bonded with a peppy little Swinub and wants to become worthy of his new status as a true 'adult' by heading south and seeing what the heck is happening. A certain someone pulled a kill-steal on him during his Coming of Age rite, and he's really ashamed about that.

Besides that, he's a really chill and laidback guy who loves his friends and family as much as he loves a good fight.

Looking For: All kinds of CR! Friends, sparring partners, folks he can be a big brother at. Romance isn't out of the question, either.

Anything else?:

Now we just need the rest of the crew for maximum shenanigans

Sorry about the kill-stealing, bro

Nah-- you couldn't help yourself!

You just made life a little more embarrassing, that's all. Good thing there's no Rurumu analogue yet for him to be embarrassed at.
