Welcome to the March AU Planning Meme for Daybreak Academy! This post is intended to help prospective players plot their AU and figure out who their characters are in this setting and where they want to go, as well as work together with other players to plan future CR, build Secret Societies and Clubs, and generally determine where they want to start their characters, and where they want them to go. In addition to posting up the form, you are encouraged to tag around to other people's forms and discuss potential CR and plans with them. This post is an open forum for all prospective players to hash out interesting ideas for their characters ahead of joining the game.

Not sure where to start? Feel free to look through the Premise and FAQ for notes on what the game is about, and what to expect. We also encourage you to take a look at our information for in-setting Powers and Secret Societies to help flesh out your character's backstory.

Please note, simply posting here is not enough to guarantee your spot in the game. If you are interested in playing a character, you will want to Reserve them.

PLAYER INFORMATIONGENERAL INFORMATION

PLAYER NAME: Jess
CHARACTER NAME: Jan Sauer/Ziggurat 8/"Ziggy"
CANON: Xenosaga
BLURB: 130 year old cyborg who watched his wife and stepson get killed constantly tries to either erase his remaining humanity or get himself killed so he won't have to keep suffering, tries to act colder than he actually is.


AU INFORMATION

CHARACTER AU NAME: Jan Sauer/Ziggurat 8 ("Ziggy"), probably a bunch of other nicknames people call him by.
STUDENT OR FACULTY?: Faculty, probably going to be teaching short-range combat, strategic planning, and surviving in the Outlands and other hostile territory.
CHARACTER BLURB: Jan was a German police officer and Rune Guard member in the era of WWII. After the occupation of part of Poland, he moved there with the intention of helping prevent violence against the locals, and ended up helping targets of Nazi genocide either hide or flee. Then he married a Jewish widow with a middle school aged son, only to see them both brutally murdered by a coworker, who happened to also be a vampire contracted to a powerful being from the Outlands. Faced with a choice between being turned or having his soul absorbed by the vampire, Jan took a third option and shot himself.

Thanks to some unscrupulous mages and their "Project Ziggurat", he's now a zombie enhanced by runic replacements for his limbs and augmentations to various internal organs. He's also kind of legally dead and under a magical geas that keeps him from abandoning a mission, so he's sort of resigned himself to being treated like an object.

He's spent the past 70 years or so seeking out the most dangerous missions he could find, often going on trips into the Outlands, and somehow coming back intact from all of them. Seriously, it's insane the kinds of jobs he's taken and unlived to talk about. Some of these missions have been in cooperation with the school, but he's only recently signed on as proper faculty.
PRE-ESTABLISHED CR: People he's gone on missions with, people he's gone on missions to rescue, former enemies, other really old people who might have known him when he was human. Or any other way someone might have met a 100 year old mercenary.
DESIRED CR: Give him all the smols to melt his steel-cased heart. Or idealistic people to clash with his cynicism. Or idealistic smols for him to become determined to protecc. People to worry about his mental health would also be great.
OTHER: Feel free to come up with nicknames and/or Chuck Norris-style "Ziggurat 8 facts" your characters use/spread around. In fact, I encourage it. The guy has 70 years of trying and *failing* to get himself killed in action behind him, there's gotta be some Stories there.
