Welcome to Beautiful Dreamer's AU Plotting Meme! This meme is to give prospective applicants a place to pitch their game AUs, feel out the plans they'd like to make as well as to shop around for pre-game CR and potentially some CR castmates...??? Perish the thought!
Don't feel as though you have to be 100% beholden to anything you brainstorm here – ultimately this is just to get ideas flowing and to help prebake some character connections before entry into the game. Feel free to also take a look around the FAQ pages before posting here and generate some ideas that way!
Once you're ready to get cookin', just fill out the form below and paste it into the comments.
Player Name: Tex Contact: I'm on the game Discord! Introduction: ...yeah, I succumbed to the desire for another character for a little while anyways. If you know, you know. I also have Junna. Now, I can swear freely! Also: if you're playing Persona 3 or plan to, this post has spoilers. Proceed with caution!
Character Name: Shinjiro Aragaki Canon: Persona 3
About: Shinjiro Aragaki, AKA Dreamer Castor, is a former Dreamer. About three years ago, he was a student at Promised Morning and a Sentry. Then, he and some other Dreamers were fighting a powerful Nightmare... and it got away. The end result was a woman lost all of her memories, including her child, and moved away. Shinjiro was left feeling like he wasn't strong enough to stop it... and he quit school, quit being a Dreamer, and started living on Yumemigaoka's streets. But, recent events will push him to get active again. At a high cost -- because he's taking some experimental drugs made by a corporation that suppresses a person's Dreamer powers.
Short Term & Long Term Plans: First up, and this is a big one: He has a limited half-life. I plan to have Shinjiro either lose his powers permanently, die, or get Nightmare memory-wiped and thus de facto dead in a suitably dramatic moment. It will be sad. I wanna be up front with this, because some people may not want to deal with that, and I will totally respect it!
In the short-term, I want him to get back into Dreaming, possibly rejoin the Dreamer Union, and generally be that kinda awkward, gruff guy who cooks amazing food and is rough around the edges. In the long-term, I want the Dreamer-suppressing experimental drug to come out. (I also need to make sure that's kosher.) I also want him to make friends, make people he butts heads with, and generally... well, set up for when things go awry.
Also, if you've always wanted to play Ken Amada (or someone else from P3) hit me up.
Desired CR/AU Castmates: OH MY GOSH SO:
Former teammates! If you play someone who was around before the game opened, including the Nightmare mission that went so wrong, I am super down. Friends or otherwise!
Former Mentor! If you want a wayward ex-pupil Dreamer, I am so down.
People he can form a bond with, grudgingly care about, and try to look out for... and get himself hurt trying to save. Whether old or new friends!
People he can butt heads with. He is super grumpy.
Sam was probably not a teammate, but she was around the game area before it officially opened, settling in and doing her thing. So...at least cooking buddies and "I know your face"!? Though we all know Sam's the friendly type...
also she is totally the type to caper for grumpy puss' amusement...
He doesn't have to, she'll be like "YOU KNOW YOU MISSED ME!" Since she's been gone for a bit, herself. Though if she finds out he was living on the streets, she might not be too happy. I mean, last time she was in the city, Ango was practically doing the same thing, baka...
She might know OF the team that had things go so bad. Heck, it might be why she decided to become a Saver, instead of going off to be a Striker (since her powers were definitely leaning in that direction when I first had her in the game!). If that's cool with your backstory idea, that is!
Oh no, Sam. I support her in this endeavor. And... yes. Shinjiro figures he deserves to live by the dumpster because he belongs in the dumpster. Because he ruined peoples' lives. It's just logic. (Someone get Zeke to tap the sign.)
Also, I like that! He will have... complicated feelings on that, when he learns. Like, good people are learning and growing from something he couldn't do that from. But, also, owch.
She could have also known the person who lost her memories in the Nightmare attack?
look buddy everyone makes mistakes, accidents happen and it doesn't mean you belong in the trash, it's garbage CAN, not garbage CANNOT.
It's possible she could have, that is definitely true.
I...also had the wacked out idea that Sam the crazy asexual had a crush on ya boy and when he had his Bad Time and disappeared...it gave her the impetus to not let it happen again. So she owes him because she'd never have had the guts to take a chance on Genbu otherwise...
...why is it a verb in Japanese? It's not a verb in English!!
Yes please, she knows American cooking and I've said she's decent, but she'd probably need someone to teach her about the joys of real Japanese cuisine, i.e. NOT GAS STATION SUSHI.

Also I mentioned on Discord: but yes fund it. He's gonna be happy she figured some things out but have complicated feelings.
Also he might have cooked at some DU event that she was at? Dude's a great cook sooooo. She'd know his "secret." (It is not a secret.)
