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: Tex
Contact Info: texside @ Plurk

Character Name: Elhaym van Houten
Canon Name: Xenogears
Brief History: The reincarnation of the worldmother made by an AI named after god in a seriously convoluted plot, who is now a magic-using Gear pilot that has problems with combat drugs and also reincarnated boyfriends. The second disc of the game famously played like a visual novel.

AU Ideas: Elly is a member of the Rangers and was very, very recently suggested for the Survey Corps. She came from a well-to-do (but not noble) family, and basically has a reputation for being nice, cheerful, and likeable. Everything is well and good, seemingly!

Except for a tiny little detail where she was part of a Ranger experiment, two months ago, to test a combat drug. Elly went berserk as a result of its effects and injured a few other Rangers. No, she doesn't want to talk about.

She's also the reincarnation of a woman named Sophia, who was alive during the Savior's time, but shh.
Looking For: It would be swell for her to have Ranger buddies! Including ones who know about or were involved in the Drive Incident. Elly will be super guilty about those people. I also would love to have friends and the like, in general, for her.

Anything else?: Nope, nada, nyet!

handchins while Jade is unlikely to have been part of the experiment, he'll probably have heard about Elly going berserk and will likely try to pry more information out of her because people don't just go berserk with no reason...!

He'll also be keeping a close eye on her in case she has a relapse. I say that like he doesn't keep a close eye on everybody, but, you know, he'll keep a closer close eye than usual.

Excellent! She's been tightlipped about it (partially because she doesn't know why), but this sounds like it'll make for fantastic RP.

I AM SO LATE BUT-

While Teresa is a senior member, I don't think she would've been part of the experiment. She likely heard about it and would feel sympathy for her- though at the same time be a bit wary in case another incident happens. She's one of the more hands-off members of the Survey Corps, but they've probably talked once or twice.

Sure! That sounds like a plan! She could have even seen some of the messy aftermath, if you'd like!

Elly is not a full member of the Survey Corps yet but she's working on it, and she works with Jade.

[liveforher]

Sure! She could have definitely caught a glimpse of that. Poor Elly.

Gotcha! Teresa might be a jerk and be like :] oh Jade went and got himself a pet how nice.

Ehehehe, yes, this sounds good.
