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.)

Don't forget to check out the Venture City Locations and FAQ posts for inspiration!

Player: Shini
Character: Kuja
From: Final Fantasy 9

Character Overview: An Alien known as "Angel of Death" from a magic-fueled world who once tried cause WWIII and merge his world and earth together, but got Friendshipped in the face by a good guy and retired from big-leagues villainy to open a fashion house and changed his villain name to "Silver Narcissus".
Affiliation: Retired Villain, now Haute Coture Bad Guy Tailor/Designer
Looking forward: Snark, CR, and all the times.
Possible CR Hooks: Old villain affliations, heroes he fought against, clients, and considering he is extremely well-versed in magic, he can be a consultant on things magic.
I am looking for: I really want a Zidane to be the guy who got Kuja to retire, but I can settle for anyone that's sufficiently charismatic and "Enjoy life!"-y enough. And possibly a fashion rival on the hero's side (Edna Mode?). And definitely people that knew him back in his "Angel of Death" days.

This guy is definitely a "live a little!" kind of person but I'm not sure how these two would meet.

[villain_of_this_play]

Good question, trying to think this out..

[omnitrixter]

Don't suppose he has a tailor shop that someone middle class could periodically shop at?

Kuja might remember Nefarious from his pre-robot days! Back when he was a weird, big-headed man instead of a cool skeletal robot. Was probably there when the whole invasion thing started and hit the guy up for knowledge about alien life... possibly didn't go well?

[villain_of_this_play]

considering how touchy Kuja seems to be about his genome status in canon, it is likely it probably didn't go well, but yes definitely likely they knew each other!

[duitagain]

hahaha, nah, that probably had to have ended in a fight. With the old robot butler jumping in at the last minute to save his employer.

Their relationship is probably a tense one.

Oh, could Bowser ever use a good magic consultant, given that he's a newcomer to Venture City trying to 1) find his way back to the rest of the Mushroom Kingdom (so that he can conquer it), and 2) try to make his Warp Pipe magitech more reliable so that his troops won't jump into a Bowser's Castle pipe and emerge from some Venture City schmuck's toilet.

And in return, Bowser could introduce Kuja to... I don't know, all sorts of strange magic mushrooms and flowers that his troops can't use??

[villain_of_this_play]

He could definitely find use in magical products, especially if it could further help his little fashion house grow.

You rang? >.>

Kinda considering app-ing this one in cause of KUJA.

Not sure where I'll go with his AU Ineedsleep,hi

I'm definitely open to fitting Zidane's AU a little with Kuja's, while having his own.

Re: You rang? >.>

[villain_of_this_play]

Oooh! hoho, a Zidane would be fantastic to have.

I pretty much tried to leave Kuja's AU open for maximum flexibility options.
