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: Kiva Contact: obscureinternetreference @ plurk Introduction: Hi, I'm Kiva! (she/her) I'm your local irish girl hyperfixating on metal hedgehogs. I love a lot of canons but lately I've just been full force soaking up old series I used to love as a kid and revisiting them as an adult. I like DBZ (which is kinda my forever canon), Sonic, Yu-gi-oh (reread the manga recently but I've played Master Duel since launch), vanillaware stuff. Most recently I've been playing Wo Lang, RE4make, vampire survivors...kinda love everything tbh!! I'm also a tour guide who will be leaving a shitty job at a historical church for an extremely better job this month so I'm pumped for that annnnd I'm writing a VN! Who the fuck knows when that'll be finished.
Character Name: Metal Sonic Canon: Sonic the Hedgehog
About: - Morris Robotnik is the younger near identical twin of a guy called Maurice, with their only different feature being the colour of their eyes. The two were a pair of orphans adopted by an eccentric inventor named Ivo Robotnik, whose biggest claim to fame is the oviphone, which is like...probably 4 or 5 spots down from your androids/iphones in terms of quality but hey it's not as expensive. - While Morris and Maurice are nearly identical in appearance, they couldn't be more different in terms of demeanour. Maurice is..look he's sonic the hedgehog, he's a fun loving free spirit thrillseeker who might rub you the wrong way but you'll probably begrundingly like him. Morris, however, is quiet - mute in fact - introverted, serious, short tempered, kinda rude and difficult. However, he's similar to his brother in that he's fiercely determined, never gives up and competitive - he may even be the more competitive of the two, but you wouldn't know that from first glance. - Because Maurice is a no good delinquent who thinks school is for nerds, a lot of their dad's attention is spent on trying to keep his more free spirited son in line. As a result, Morris is somewhat of a latch key kid - he actually does all the cooking and cleaning and his family have just kinda grown used to that. Spends a lot of time at home. Kind of neglected but not on purpose, that's a big contributing factor to why he is the way he is. - Morris attends school and mostly doesn't draw attention to himself. He's very studious but he probably won't help you with your work cause he's Like That. He doesn't attend any club activities, but perhaps Entirely Coincidentally he's really athletic when it comes to things his brother is good at! Almost like he picks up things his brother does to try and outdo him! Weird. - At one point another student who had beef with his brother tried picking on Morris because they figured him being introverted meant he wouldn't stand up for himself, but he proceeded to kick the shit out of them. Parents were probably called. Favours were called. Parents and officials were probably paid off. It was a mess. He doesn't regret it. - I like to think the twins' awakening happened simultaneously and he would have signed up for the DU as his brother did just because he's stupid and competitive. edit he tried this for a little while and then dinah recruited him to be a dark mahou so that's him now, he tried he's out - He really likes cycling. He is counting down the days when he's old enough to own a motorcycle.
Short Term & Long Term Plans: I actually want him to be a long term dreamer cause he's gonna be the most unhelpful piece of shit senpai but he will actually lend you a hand. He's not a robot anymore.
Otherwise I'm winging it.
Desired CR/AU Castmates: - So like to be completely honest unless it's Sonic and Eggman specifically, I don't really want like "fill ins" for his AU family. As with canon it's tied very closely to those two and I don't think I'd like substitutions. - While there are protags out there who I know will inevitably befriend him I'd like for some people who think he's weird/offputting/rude? Because he is, yknow. - But yeah come and be his friend it's fine, he's cold and distant but he isn't as evil as his robot self so he won't try to kill you.
Anything Else?: claire sent me this this morning and im still laughing about it
anyway the funny thing is despite always playing game metal when i thought of that happening it was literally surge i imagined being the one who did it so like........the fact you're here is really funny. but also yes absolutely, we can say they pummeled each other good
as an aside even au'd this is one of my most wanted CRs cause i could honest the god write you a whole ass TED talk about how metal/surge was a way more interesting enemy dynamic than sonic/surge so i was SUPER excited when i saw you!!!
honestly if there's anyone he should be in a neverending cycle of kicking the shit out of each other with it's scourge the hedgehog (human) so this tracks hard
That sounds about right. Scott would probably really resent Morris for getting the jump on him, and having to use his dad to keep them both out of serious trouble.
