AU Planning Meme the Second

[bravenewmods]

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.

<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.)

Player Name: Charles
Contact Info: Suik Gloris (AIM), bigdamnhero

Character Name: Melaka Fray
Canon Name: Fray
Brief History: bullet point here Which is ... actually her AU history for here because it's what's relevant

AU Ideas: See above
Looking For: While I am cool to have her twin brother Harth remain in limbo, I would love to have a stand in for the older sibling/guardian she now has a strained relationship with if anyone wants to take that up (long shot, I know) or the mentor who pushers her towards making something of her life (in particular wanting to be a Ranger). For the later, a Levi did reply to me to fill the role on the last meme though. Also if anyone would have wanted to have hired her for an odd job before, know her while she was being a troublemaker, or perhaps know her as a troublemarker.

... Or you know some other Ranger cadets or something.

Anything else?: Wow I feel so behind now, rofl.

Elly is similarly a new Ranger, and is ostensibly kinda by-the-book and all business. Of course, this is less than advertised.

But her and Fray could have definitely met?

[makeitquick]

Yes they could! And really, it depends on how by the book you mean for how the impression goes because... while she's trying to give her due diligence she does clash with authority some! And Team Moming which I believe you mentioned somewhere else.

Or something! I don't know I do like the idea of a pre-existing impression.

[reborn_love]

Elly definitely plays the part of Team Mom, that's just sorta who she is. It sounds like there might have been a little clashing but not a lot?

[makeitquick]

Yeah. Melaka's relationship with authority is a little odd in that she does differ to people who are her superiors and they show her some recognition (of any sort, really) but chafes at the idea she's being underestimated - which is very likely to happen at least initially with a Team Mom.

[reborn_love]

Ooh, yes, absolutely. And I imagine Elly's not Fray's superior, either (or not by much), given she's also fairly new to the Rangers.

[makeitquick]

No, probably not! I sort of have her not quite a full member yet so yeah "not by much" is probably the correct way to put it. So it'll be a get used to each other thing .

Eeeeexcellent. This sounds good to me!
