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.)

Hmm... gotcha. I'm just asking because I'm still ironing out how I want his origin to have gone for this AU and I'm wondering if I could go the angle of Keldor being... perhaps not a "good" person but definitely at least a better person than Skeletor is now. "Power corrupts" and all that. It could also work the other way too, with Keldor being an exceptionally merciless warlord.

Either way, it's just a thought! Might be kind of an interesting way to shed some light on who he is/was.

Mostly I'm just offering up Ylisse as a place Skeletor could have caused some havoc before he returned to Venture City, in case you want a new Omegafriend to provide some outside context that no, this guy really is a BIG DEAL.

Alright, that sounds good. I think I've pretty much hammered out how I want his origins to have gone so, yeah, he could certainly have appeared in Ylisse after his transformation and brought some chaos with him.

I'm not too familiar with Fire Emblem but perhaps there was some artifact or power he could have been after?

Most of the holy artifacts in Ylisse are designed to work for only one person, but there actually is something he could have gotten! The mastermind behind most of the bad stuff in FE:A has a unique tome of dark magic called 'Grima's Truth'.

Grima is a dragon the size of a mountain that is considered the god of all evil in Ylisse, and his fell power can animate and control the dead.

You know, in case you want Skeletor to have zombie minions or something.

Well, you know. Maybe I do.

A little.
