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: Jolee
Contact Info: ceedawkes

Character Name: Armin Arlert
Canon Name: Jesus Christ It's A Titan Get In The Car (aka Attack on Titan)
Brief History: Once upon a time bb He-Man had a grandpa and some buddies and was hella cute and happy. Then his buddy's mom got eaten by horrible naked giants and they were all orphans and they joined an army where they can fly and kill stuff. Child soldiers in horrible situations: the anime!! Also they rly wanna have a beach episode. (Wiki is here for more info~)

AU Ideas: Okay so: in this AU Armin is basically a human Ralts, hairdo and everything. His Enlightened powers manifest themselves in him being extremely sensitive to other people's emotions, and in a post-war city, there are a lot of negative emotions, obvs. While nice emotions make Armin happy, sad or angry or scared ones tend to give him horrible headaches, leading to his overprotective grandfather keeping him hidden away for most of his childhood. The fact that his parents -- both Delvers -- died when he was little didn't help with this.

SO BASICALLY Armin is very sheltered, very socially awkward, but well-meaning and earnest. He just wants to make friends that aren't his Pokemon BFF (also a Ralts, duh) and see the world someday. He's on the track to become a Historian to appease his grandfather, but he has ambitions of being a Delver like his parents, or even a member of the Guard. Anything that means he can get out of Union.
Looking For: FRIENDS!! ppl to think he's weird, ppl to think he's interesting, ppl to tease him or want to befriend him in all his nerdiness. Basically since he hasn't had his in-canon transformation from believing "I'm useless, everyone hates me, I suck" to "I'm kind of a badass and my friends love me~", that'll need to happen some other way.

Anything else?:

wtf

[comparative_insanity]

Lets be nerd friends Armin. You know you want to. Fai has very little self-preservation when in the pursuit of SCIENCE, so in that way he can be a Hange proxy? /shot

[tinytactician]

NERD BUDDIES YAHS YAHSSSS. Armin respects ur Hange-esque love of science but he would prefer u wear a helmet while doing it.

[niepokonany]

Beach episode. /cryyyy

Heyyyy, fellow small blond socially awkward person! Feliks tends to enjoy affectionately poking at overly earnest and serious types, and I think that could be fun.

Also, he has a Ralts BFF, who would probably like Armin?

[tinytactician]

NO BEACHES FOR ANYONE

y e s YES GOOD RALTS-HAVING AWKWARD BLOND BUDDIES :DDDD
