AU Planning/Plotting Meme

[omegamods]

We had a fantastic response to opening the game, and now it's time to get ready for the real launch!

This is a post for AU plotting. Do your characters already know each other? Do you want to introduce some new elements to the setting, and let other people use them, too? Do you want to establish some villain teams to work together against the Omegafriends? Just want to decide where future plots will be going, or who will be rivals with who? You can do all of that here!

You can freeform it if you want, but here's a form you can use:

<b>Player:</b> <b>Character:</b> <b>From:</b> <b>Character Overview:</b> (Who they are, in a couple of sentences, so that people reading can get a good idea of who they're looking at here.) <b>Affiliation:</b> (Omegafriends? Villain? A specific villainous faction? Independent Hero? Non-powered?) <b>Looking forward:</b> (What are you planning to do with this character, in broad strokes?) <b>Possible CR Hooks:</b> (Are there any blank spots in your backstory or future planning that other people could fill in?) <b>I am looking for:</b> (Classmates? Teammates? Rivals? Family members? Childhood friends?) <b>Extra:</b> (This is probably where funny gifs/screencaps go.)

Player: Comrade
Character: Kaneo Takarada
From: Kill La Kill

Character Overview: L O D S OF E M O N E
What's that spell?
LOADSAMONEY
Bored rich kid who is not at all the intriguing and devilishly handsome Golden Tiger, master thief, even if he is mysteriously funded by the Takarada Conglomerate and you never see the two of them in the same place at the same time.
Affiliation: Takarada's pretty freelance, and he's mostly doing this for kicks. He's likely to team up with those heroic types in the face of any major threat.
Looking forward: I honestly don't have a whole lot in mind for him, but in general terms I'm thinking he at least learns to maybe stop being such an incredible toolbox and becomes an on again off again ally for the Omegafriends. Provided their goals line up at the time, anyway.
Possible CR Hooks: Takarada's kind of the new kid in town, since he's been meaning to expand his operations into the Americas for a while now, and that means he's the new kid at school too. If you're popular or in any way influential, it's likely that Takarada's tried to buy his way into your good graces at least once, since in canon his usual approach to problem solving is literally throwing money at it.
I am looking for: Heroic rivals, villainous rivals, school "friends"/ bullying targets, anything and everything you got!

MONEY! Money for my space program!

Man, I don't know. That seems like a pretty risky investment.

He'd definitely kick some funds Jebediah's way, though. Space exploration is a whole untapped field of potential gains, and it's something to show off to the board of directors when he gets the chance.

I'll have you know that the Block 3 LV-45 engines are almost 99% explosion proof, and all that jazz. Why, we almost have a man-rated launcher! And we're fairly sure that if we ever get to use the LVN-1, it will be even safer. If we can ever justify, you know, a highly radioactive nuclear powered rocket.

As long as they don't do any of the testing near his property, anything goes. Also he may or may not be stealing some of that tech for his own gadgets, no hard feelings.

The ability to make rockets out of junk found at the side of the road IS pretty incredible, no? I can understand why you would want to steal it-and Jeb'll be hiring the best damn patent lawyer in town.
