Welcome to Beautiful Dreamer's very first AU/CR Plotting Meme! This first version is going up in advance of the game itself to give potential applicants the opportunity to feel out how they want to play their AUs as well as shopping around for pre-game CR and potentially some CR castmates...??? Perish the thought!
During future app rounds, the AU and CR Plotting memes will be split in two in order for new players to have a bit of breathing room in workshopping their CR but in this pre-game stretch while we're all chewing on the bars of our collective cage you get a two for one deal!
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 or tag about on the TDM 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: Quinn Contact:Quinn2win Introduction: Central US time zone, They/Them or Ze/Zir/Zer pronouns. No preference between Zir and Zer. I like video games, tabletop game design, and OCs.
Character Name: Ayako Takeda Canon: Original
About: High school third year. A quiet, aloof, kind of unapproachable senpai on the surface. The truth is, she's kind of a delinquent. Not the pompadour-punching kind, she just has very little respect for the rules of society. Knows where her dad's booze stash is, hangs out in off-limits places just because she saw a sign that said "off limits". Plays the guitar. Wants to start a rock band, but is gunshy about it for reasons to be explored later. Can sing, but never does in front of people.
TLDR: People who know Ayako through school and people who know Ayako outside of school will basically be meeting two completely different people.
Short Term & Long Term Plans: Ayako will be having a case of the genders, becoming a Dreamer, and possibly putting that rock band together. Beyond that, who knows.
Desired CR/AU Castmates: Let's have some concrete things! Because "anything" never catches my eye.
People who know Ayako at school, who can later learn what she's really like.
People who live within the boundaries of polite society, for Ayako to tempt into going outside of those boundaries.
Other problem children to go jump into rivers and stuff with.
The big one: AU family. I want a sibling. Surname is negotiable in the name of achieving this. AU family is my favorite kind of AU CR.
Anything Else?: Ayako's PB is from this music video, so I'm also gonna use it as a voice reference. Ayako sounds like that.
Ricky's re-figuring herself out and, by nature of her canon, has some "figure out whether this is edible by eating it"-level decision-making in her so Ayako sounds like exactly the sort of bad influence who would be hilarious
Sure, I'll pitch AU family first. Ayako being Toujirou Mitake's kid (either as Miyao's sibling or half-sibling) and thereby living in a posh, strict household most of the time could add some interesting wrinkles and context to her delinquent habits. Miyao's coach is also Misato, and given what she's like, that could further highlight Ayako's everything.
That is exactly the kind of upbringing I imagined for Ayako, actually. The school face is largely for the benefit of Ayako's parents, who have pretty rigid ideas of what they expect from their daughter, and the delinquency is discreet rebellion against that.
oh that's a GREAT question actually; tbh part of the reason why i suggested this was the possibility of meow ending up in the awkward position of Gender Senpai to ayako
Given that they're living together and it'd be pretty hard to keep a lid on Meow and Miyao's situation forever, I'm leaning toward Ayako knowing about Meow, and Meow having an impression that Ayako is up to Some Shit while Miyao is too buried in the mindset of "if I'm dealing with the pressure by meeting it head on, then Ayako must be coping exactly like I am" to really wonder what his other sibling gets up to.
Since Meow becoming less of a hermit is a recent development, maybe we could do a thread of Meow eventually following Ayako out of concern and then going "GASP IS THAT A *WEED*" or similar when she actually sees what Ayako is doing as an early thing? It'd be a good starting point
Shu has a Deliquent BFF slot for his AU that needs filling, if youre interested.
If not, they can definitely at least be awkward school acquaintances. She can been the cool aloof senpai that he wants to befriend and impress and is actually so bad at it probably because she thinks hes full of shit (he is)
So Yamato here is the new head of a well-known Dreamer family line who is occasionally employing their skeevy dad. So that's how he would end up housing them in his big ass and mostly empty property. He's hard to get along with because he's unsocialized and kind of a prick, but not completely unreasonable- basically as long as they don't cause him trouble or embarrass the family by proxy he won't ask much of them- though soon as he learns Ayako is a Dreamer (and eventually Meow, probably) he will have much higher expectations of excellence. Cuz he's just Like That. What do you mean not everyone wants to be on the grind 24/7???
If he's a particularly fight-focused delinquent, they may be in different scenes. Ayako's more about smoking and dubiously-legal parkour than defeating the strongest delinquents with her fists.
Not that she can't fight at all, but when pressed into it, her main strategy is to aim straight for the nuts.

The question is, how much does Miyao know.
