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.)

Sooo...

Need any help figuring out how he turned into a robot by any chance?

[duitagain]

Actually, yeah!

In canon, he got roboticized after a whole mishap with his respective archnemesis (also one of his bullies from high school). But I'm up for alternatives!

[ivegotthemasterplan]

I plan to draw from the Archie comics as well as the games, so Eggy would have his Roboticizer. But I dunno how different it would be from how it works versus Ratchet & clank

[duitagain]

His personal circumstances are... well, it's odd. Basically, he fell into a whole mess of circuitry and spinning gears and came out as a robot.

But Nefarious also built basically a weaponized Roboticizer in the form of the Biobliterator. Giant transforming Death Star-esque cannon that turns inhabitants of a planet into robots under his command.

Wow. That sounds a LOT like the Death Egg

[duitagain]

... You know, now that you mention it, Nefarious and Eggman have had a lot of similar plans. Even the whole trying to control time thing.

Clearly this calls for a team-up with the inevitable promise of backstabbery.

[ivegotthemasterplan]

I have a proposition here. Since they're so similar, how would you feel about making Nefarious a subordinate of Eggman? He's of course have freedom to use Robotnik Co resources and whatnot and I'm okay with eventual betrayal.

[duitagain]

You know what?

I'd be absolutely down for this. Depending on how long Eggman's been active, we could say that Nefarious has spent the last decade hiding it out in the man's company, helping it on the development side.

[ivegotthemasterplan]

awesome. o/ sounds like we have a plan.

[ivegotthemasterplan]

Oh hey one more question, do you have a plurk?

[duitagain]

Yeah! It's froncentrate on plurk!
