SEPTEMBER AU PLANNING
Log Comm | Network Comm | OOC Comm | Navigation

Welcome to the September 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.

oh no it's another OC

[lifeforced]

I'm putting my previous idea on hold for now because I don't think I need an actual 100% clueless butt yet, so here's a less-clueless butt!

GENERAL INFORMATION
PLAYER NAME: Espilan
CHARACTER NAME: Rebecca Fulton
CANON: original
BLURB: n/a

AU INFORMATION
CHARACTER AU NAME: Rebecca Fulton
STUDENT OR FACULTY?: Student, 10th grade. She's older than she looks, shut up.
CHARACTER BLURB:
• Rebecca is the daughter of a pair of hunters in a clan that primarily largely deals with human threats on Earth itself that have been found to be actively working toward Nightfall or have otherwise been proven to be dangerous. Because the clan's activities have understandably earned them more than just a few enemies, its members frequently relocate as to avoid putting any single place at risk for too long.
• An incident that occurred when she was seven years old resulted in an early manifestation of her Flame; Rebecca is a Candle with an ability that initially pretty much amounts to accelerated natural healing with a few additional benefits as a result of said healing, and the ability to temporarily grant that same healing to others. It will eventually graduate into a full-blown proper healer power as her ability to actually tap into her Flame increases; the only reason it hasn't really done so yet is she hasn't really tried.
• Her Flame also has the added effect of preventing her from aging, and it has done so since it first manifested. She's spent the past decade like this, and being a seventeen-year-old stuck in a seven-year-old body is not as awesome as it sounds.
• She was eventually sent to Daybreak partly for her safety, but also specifically so she could learn more about the sort of work her parents do in a hopefully-less-risky way. It's expected that after graduation, she will join in on the clan's activities in whatever capacity she is capable of/comfortable with. Whether she actually will or not remains to be seen.
• She's friendly enough. Hard to anger, rarely stays mad for long. Finds it easy to forgive others (too easy, maybe). Has a good memory. Doesn't like talking about herself much. Dislikes large crowds. Can be a little impatient/pushy.

PRE-ESTABLISHED CR:
• Rebecca's parents, Terrence (Terry) and Marian (Mary), are part of a hunter clan that deals mostly with mage families or other organizations that have become threats to their fellow humans one way or another. Any other hunter clans, mage families, or rune guard companies that do similar work are probably at least somewhat aware of them or may have even worked with them in the past, and depending on the exact circumstances of those meetings, it's entirely possible that they could have met Rebecca as well. Because it was kinda kept under wraps, though, they're probably not really aware of the whole no-longer-aging thing, so if she was met within the past ten years, have fun finding out that she's literally the same as ever. (Physically, anyway; her mental age is absolutely what it should be.)
• Any characters that live or lived in the eastern US (particularly Florida, Maine, New York, Ohio or Pennsylvania) might have met her before! Any child/teen characters in particular may have been friends in the time she'd gotten to know them between any given moves, and it's likely that she would have maintained some sort of contact with them after moving away unless they completely dropped off the radar themselves for one reason or another.
• ETA: If your character is the sort to use online chat rooms and stuff like that, there's the possibility that they could have met that way, even if they never met directly. Her handle for those would have been Bekamari because she had the imagination of a grape when she first started using them and opted to just base her UN on her first and middle names instead. That's also the UN she'll be using on the network here, so it's totally possible to recognize her by that whenever she does make a post.

DESIRED CR: pffft, anything

OTHER:

[buddinghopes]

Teen characters that lived in the Eastern US, huh 👀

Lia definitely would've done her best to maintain contact if they knew each other!!

[lifeforced]

Becky would would have made an effort too! Though, depending on when they'd have met before, Lia might be in for a surprise when she finds out that her friend's still the same little shrimp as ever; the whole not-aging thing probably wouldn't have come up in phone calls, instant messages, or however else they were keeping contact unless it really needed to.


EDIT 1:
After a couple TDM tags and a little poking on Discord, what we've got so far is that they met five years ago, putting Becky in New York around that time, which as I said on Discord that's totally fine; I had deliberately avoided giving any specific locations any particular points in time so they could be decided based on who she's met and when she's met them.

Five years ago is before Lia's flame manifested, but it's also five years after Becky's, not that she would have mentioned it; as far as she knew back then, Lia was 100% normal. Meeting Lia again in Daybreak is...maybe a little bit of a MIND=BLOWN moment.

Becky's family moves frequently because the clan her parents are part of frequently relocates, so she wasn't in NYC for too long (up to a year at most, this way Lia wouldn't have had enough time to really notice that she wasn't aging or anything), but they definitely stayed mostly in contact via phone calls or instant messaging or pretty much any other way that doesn't involve webcams.


EDIT 2:
Becky would have been making sure to give a heads-up about any impending move, so Lia would know when she would be temporarily unavailable to chat or anything. This would have included her own move to Daybreak, without specifying where she was going.
