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: Luna Contact:Urameshi Introduction: HELLO, my name is Luna (she/her), and I've been staring at this game like a pining lover through a window for weeks now and decided to make a go for it :'') I love magical girls, supernatural shonen series, cosplay, drawing and voraciously reading manga+comics! I'm on EST time and am slowly dipping my toe back into the RP waters again, though thanks to some RL stuff and starting work again soon, I probably won't be apping in until next month, but I'm excited to plot nonetheless!
✿ Amane was born and raised in Akabeni with his younger identical twin brother Tsukasa; family runs a long-standing vintage curio/flower shop in Moon Bunny Market which the boys occasionally pitch in with! Essentially just a normal middle-class household living a modest (albeit busy) life maintaining the store that's been passed down through the generations. ✿ Developed a HUGE passion for space/astronomy as a kid and has harbored a dream of becoming an astronaut (or at least something in the field), as well as a love for robotics/engineering and is one of the few things that is guaranteed to get him to open up when asked. He also LOVES spooky tales and urban legends, and has probably seen more horror movies than he should have as a child. ✿ He was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect when he was very young, but since he was born in the modern era and not the 1950s where there weren't as many treatments available (unlike his OU counterpart), he was able to grow and survive at least until his teen years thanks to modern medicine! (And not his brother making deals with eldritch deities and yeeting himself into the void to cure him like... in canon... sobs) Of course, this came with the burden of multiple surgeries and treatments growing up, so his childhood was a mostly lonely one supplemented with lots of books, movies, and other non strenuous activities, with the occasional company and support of his healthier twin. Amane still needs the occasional test/treatment and medicine even now (and probably will indefinitely), but for the time being, he's doing mostly okay-- physically, at least. Mentally and emotionally is another story, because BOY is this child a lonely mess and he doesn't quite know how to cope with it yet :') ✿ Thanks to the stress/worries throughout his childhood, Amane was nearly attacked by a Nightmare when he was about 8 or 9, which was fended off by his brother Tsukasa-- who then proceeded to disappear for about six months in the Dream Sphere, which!! Understandably caused a lot of distress in their already strained household at the time!! Thankfully, Tsukasa returned on his own somehow, though he also came back a bit... off, and no one can quite pinpoint how or why. ✿ Attacked by the same Nightmare yet again at the start of middle school, thanks to the guilt over the incident with his brother adding on top of all of his other concerns, but this time he manages to fight back and Awaken as Dreamer Hanako! (Name possibly pending because I am creatively bankrupt, shhh) ✿ Quickly realizes how much more he can do in his Dreamer form compared to his weaker condition in the Waking World, and decides to live his best life by leaning into a more cheerful, playful, mischievous gremlin persona while transformed, vs the more shy, closed off nerd he is in his normal, day to day life. ✿ That said, he very deliberately refuses to talk about his regular self while in the Dream Sphere, and is very intent on keeping his Dreamer life and Waking life separate, to prevent the inevitable fussing and pitying that comes with people learning about his condition, because!! It sucks!! He deals with it enough while awake!!! ✿ Mmmmay have possibly joined the dark mahous for a quick minute, got freaked out, and then went to the DU because while he might not be an idealistic or starry-eyed kid, at least they'll pay him and MAN does his family have a ton of medical debt thanks to his ass and also maybe a girl was involved in his decision too ✿ Currently in his second year of middle school (debating on him going to Promised Morning or sticking to his old school to really keep his Dreamer/real world identities separate but idk) and first full year of Dreamer activities, and hopefully this double life won't go absolutely sideways for him (spoilers: it definitely will)
Short Term & Long Term Plans:
LONG TERM PLANS: AMANE PLEASE UNFUCK YOUR LIFE AND HOW YOU COPE WITH THINGS
But in all seriousness, Amane at his core is a deeply lonely kid who's masking a lot of concerns and problems under a cheery, gremlin façade in the Dream Sphere, so him being able to make friends and connections outside of his brother (which said relationship may already be strained at this point), is the top priority here! To quote a certain someone from canon, "he's more trouble than he's worth", but ultimately he's an alright kid who's dealing with a lot of messy emotions in regards to his family, his personal identity and his possible mortality, and I think finding the right balance between his Dreamer/Waking selves and getting him to actually be vulnerable about his feelings (as opposed to bottling them up) is the ultimate goal.
Short term, he's probably just be fighting critters in the Dream Sphere, pestering the other Novices, and dodging anyone prying into his real identity like a 4D Chess version of a Scooby Doo chase :')
Desired CR/AU Castmates:
✿ AU family aside from his brother (aunts/uncles/cousins-- maybe parents????? idek) I left things vague on Tsukasa in the off-chance anyone would app him, though I do also have Ideas about him (like maybe being a fusion of Torment/Nightmare and Dreamer?? would that even be kosher here, idek) ✿ DU mentors or teachers who know about his health situation/double life! ✿ Dreamers to gradually befriend, team up with and/or get tired of his nonsense ✿ On the flipside, frenemies, rivals or people who think he's just a pain in the ass is A+++ too ✿ Class...mates...?? for when he actually does go to school (including fellow nerds who like space and urban legends and horror movies) ✿ People who have clocked him in the waking world as Dreamer Hanako, because honey, if you wanted to reinvent yourself, maybe have a mahou form that doesn't look near identical to your real self ✿ Customers at his family's shop?? He does occasionally fix/tinker with broken items + current projects in the store during the weekends, should anyone want a cryptid Amane sighting ✿ a cute girl to rescue and get a crush on and flirt with if a Nene never shows upbut also someone pls app Nene, she'd be so perfect for this AU
