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: Raile
Contact Info: Railerat on Plurk or AIM

Character Name: GLaDOS
Canon Name: Portal
Brief History: Homicidal AI that likes science and doesn't like you. Does not play well with others.

AU Ideas: Okay, here's the deal. GLaDOS is Old Tech. She's not the lady in the icon. She's the piece of machinery attached to the lady's face. What happened is that a few weeks ago, Caroline (a Delver) went down to Old City, accidentally started the remains of GLaDOS' destroyed facility while trying to use her Electric typing to investigate it, and let's just say some emergency protocols malfunctioned. GLaDOS is puppeting the body around, and is tolerated by the city despite having functionally 'murdered' Caroline because she didn't actually intend to do that. She actually didn't properly 'wake' until she was attached to Caroline's face. That was fun.
Looking For: Did anyone know Caroline? That'd be interesting! Is anyone interested in old tech? Here's some that talks! Does anyone like science? GLaDOS does too. Also, if anyone is particularly perturbed or not okay with GLaDOS' presence/existence, I'm down with that.

Anything else?: It's worth noting that GLaDOS does not actually speak through Caroline's mouth. She speaks from 'herself,' meaning she has that unsettling robotic voice from canon. Also, GLaDOS herself has taken on the role of 'Engineer,' because that's the one that lets her get away with science.

Er, 'science.' But she's probably good at the actual Engineering thing too. You just have to get her interested in the project.

Atsuro quite possibly fits all four of your requirements. He could've known Caroline as an acquaintance of his parents' at least, he's all about old tech, he is also all about science AND he would probably be pretty terrified of GLaDOS (even better if he doesn't realize what she's like right away). Though he'd probably also end up trying to either ~reason~ with her or decide to somehow take her down or at least make her less dangerous to people/Pokemon. The boy has some Views on the whole "science and ethics" thing.

So yeah, I think it might be fun to have them interact at least a little at one point! Especially if you're into devastating and throwing teenage nerds into despair.
