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.)

...oh god i just got mental images. of ramza acting knightly to cynthia without even realizing that's what he was doing.

And Ramza would totally be the sort to take time out of his studies to help this new strange exchange student around.

Cynthia would only find it weird if someone pointed it out to her, since she's a princess and is constantly surrounded by knights.

Also if he has powers based on Ivalice stuff does that mean one of his super-powers is throwing small rocks at people?

[atruebeoulve]

And Ramza won't point it out, he doesn't know he's doing it!

Yup! One of his first powers will be throwing small rocks with great aim. He has to learn to be a Squire before he can become a Dark Knight! :D

(He may not realize this is a power, though.)

If he ever does figure it out and tells Cynthia don't tell Cynthia she will consider 'Ramza, throw a rock at him!' a valid plan to stop dumb villainous monologues.

Only HEROES are allowed to make speeches!

Oh my god and that would be amazing, Ramza throwing stones like that. As long as he's not a chicken at the time, which might be his first power he discovers. (When he's startled he becomes one because of his powers awakening and also a family curse. Though he'll think he didn't get good powers :T)

And he'll let her give the speeches, at least.

Mayyyybe Cynthia will be able to actually communicate with Ramza when he is a chicken (assuming he isn't a talking chicken, anyway) because it's apparently canon that she and her mother have the ability to hold conversations with pegasi.

Dunno if I'll expand that to, like, all animals or not, though.
