AU PLOTTING

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.


<b>Player Name:</b> <b>Contact:</b> <b>Introduction:</b> <b>Character Name:</b> <b>Canon:</b> <b>About:</b> (Give us a quick outline of your AU! If you have a more detailed AU already in mind you can give the cliffnotes here, or if you're more about the Vibes currently, you can go with those as well.) <b>Short Term & Long Term Plans:</b> (If you have any, of course! You can also use this section to pitch the general shape of The Vibes you're shooting for in your arc and see if anyone else can help you brainstorm it.) <b>Desired CR/AU Castmates:</B> (This is the big one! If you're looking for particular prebaked CR or have some particularly important roles in your AU you'd like to fill, pitch them here!) <B>Anything Else?:</b> i fully expect this to be meme central but i'm adding it anyway

let's respond properly right?

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...

[cookingasshole]

This sounds good to me!! Shinji could definitely use someone to beam friendship at him while he's trying to grump his way through life.

Which is every day!

And also knowing his face is good! He may be glad to see her again but why admit this!

[noonecandestroythemetal]

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!

[cookingasshole]

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?

[noonecandestroythemetal]

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...

[cookingasshole]

GARBAGE IS ALSO A VERB, SAM. Shinjiro is sure of it and that he's very good at garbage-ing!

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.)

[noonecandestroythemetal]

...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.

[cookingasshole]

He doesn't make the rules, he just breaks them.

Also NO he will save Sam from gas station sushi. That's what friends acquaintances are for.

[noonecandestroythemetal]

she came from the Midwest, they can't even get good ocean fish there...

and yes of course he breaks the rules....of COURSE.

[cookingasshole]

...I mean fair that's. That's rough for sushi.

And yes, see, he can do it! Others shouldn't.

[noonecandestroythemetal]

just because he CAN doesn't mean he SHOULD!!!
