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 NAME: Jeff
CHARACTER NAME: Philoctetes / Phil
CANON: Disney's Hercules
BLURB: Phil's a stubborn old satyr who was in the business of training heroes, except none of them were really up to scratch, and often died. It became a recurring pattern. All Phil wanted was to train someone who'd be remembered in the stars, that people would look at and be like "that's Phil's boy". He got close with Achilles, he thought he would be the one to go the distance...but then, you know, the heel thing. Phil spent years in isolation and retirement becoming generally cranky and cynical until Hercules, son of Zeus, showed up at his door.
AU INFORMATION
CHARACTER AU NAME: Philoctetes / Phil
STUDENT OR FACULTY?: Faculty. Probably teaches like...practical...heroics. Or something. Like Phys Ed but mad intense.
CHARACTER BLURB: I'm gonna try and keep it as similar to his canon backstory as I can. Old Greek goat man was, at some point, in the business of training heroes, failed a good number of times, and almost had The One but then...he died, and Phil decides to fuck off into isolation because you can only take so much of that. Then, with Nightfall approaching, and a school needing teachers, he was probably reached out to by a concerned party who knew of him as a trainer of heroes...and even if you're retired, you can't really say no to helping save the world. ...Except he probably did, a few times, before giving in. All of his students are his last hopes, so he's pretty harsh on them.
PRE-ESTABLISHED CR: Living most of his life as a hermit, he probably won't know anyone personally before becoming a teacher at the Academy. He'd probably be Known Of by people in the business of knowing about heroes and myth, though he might be more likely to be seen as a failure more than anything.
DESIRED CR: Negative, positive, I'm all for it. Phil having a student who can be his Hercules? THE DREAM. But also, frustrate him by being a bunch of untameable feral teens. Make him want to quit.
OTHER: Oh, you know.

Exactly the sort of guy who needs a trainer to be harsh on him if you ask me.
I also play Mario who has been all around the Outlands being heroic for a little less than 100 years and for some reason, my immediate thought is a sort of 'urgh THIS guy' reaction to the moustached man who embodies heroism who seemingly has everything fall into his lap.
no subject
Also YEAH he's gonna hate Mario for being Mario. Just feels personally targeted by his entire existence.
