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: Prof
Character: Erika Kurumi
From: Heartcatch Precure

Character Overview: By day, a 14-year-old girl who is really into fashion and solving other people's problems. Also by day, the magical girl Cure Marine, vanquishing evil to protect the Heart Tree or whatever!
Affiliation: Omegafriend! And a Precure.
Looking forward: I'm looking at starting her as early canon, having just picked up her fairy and powers, and going from here. Fight villains! Get more super attacks!

Possible CR Hooks:
That thing I said about other people's problems is super serious. Do you have some personal strife to overcome? Erika just CAN'T WAIT to spend her entire day helping you solve it for no reason! This is a good way to get CR.

I am looking for:
Obvious are classmates and friends and rivals, but there is one extra slot! Canonically, Erika has a bit of an inferiority complex about her cool model big sister. I'm planning to have her just be around as an off-screen NPC, but I am ALSO up for the idea of just having it be someone else! Does anyone have a cool teen girl who would be interested in fudging some backstories to be Erika's sister?

...ngl it would be amazing if the Kurumis were Cynthia's host family. Failing that, Cynthia could try to constantly recruit Erika into the Justice Cabal?

[widerthanthesea]

I don't know much about Cynthia but I already love the idea of Erika as a Host Sister.

[pega_pony_princess]

The lines 'quake in your supple calfskin boots, evildoers!' and 'I float like a leaf and sting like a nettle! ...nah, too vegetarian' are canon.

THESE ARE REAL THINGS SHE ACTUALLY SAYS

[widerthanthesea]

OH I was thinking that Pega Pony Princess and Cynthia were two different people for some reason

Also this gives Erika someone to hang out with other than her cooler, more attractive sister so bonus points

[pega_pony_princess]

Pega Pony Princess is a pet name her father has for in-game, and in her intro chapter she forces him to call her that in front of his entire army.

[widerthanthesea]

Let's do this thing, is what I'm saying.

[pega_pony_princess]

Sweet.

[blossominghero]

Just popping in to say that if Tsubomi and Erika are neighbors again, then that means so are Tsubomi and Cynthia.

[widerthanthesea]

I'm down for being neighbors again!

[pega_pony_princess]

Canon Cynthia interest: flower-petal fortune telling! I am all for this.

[blossominghero]

Ha ha! They have the makings to be good friends then

[alilyinthemoonslight]

So, given the shifts in who gets powers when and where and how that juggles things around, this makes Yuri and Erika's dynamic a bit different here, yes?

All the side-eyeing at the energetic newbie Cure.

[widerthanthesea]

Indeed! If I'm following the new timeline right, Moonlight will have already been a Cure when Marine joined up, so as far as she's concerned, Moonlight has been a Cure forever.

[alilyinthemoonslight]

Correct! So Erika wouldn't have gotten to experience her downtime really. Or probably really know from the start just why Yuri's probably a little cold or hard on the newbie.

[widerthanthesea]

It's a good thing that her spirit is not so easily broken!

[the_evil_forces_of_me]

Gonna kill that Heart Tree.

Gonna kill it so much.

[widerthanthesea]

JUST TRY IT, BONEHEAD

[distorts_space]

Just letting you know that Parley does NOT want someone to suggest or get her to try out all kind of weird way to get her psychic powers to unlock.

Does NOT want this.

Not one bit.
