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.

[lotusbeater]

100% reposting from the August post because I guess hitting it up near the end of the month isn't the best of ideas w h o o p s

Same disclaimer I made then still applies; I probably won't be going through with this anytime super soon, but still wanna try to get some things hashed out for when I do go for it.

GENERAL INFORMATION

PLAYER NAME: Espilan
CHARACTER NAME: Raelyn
CANON: Dungeon Fighter Online/OC; she's a MOG PC.
BLURB: A mage from a post-apocalyptic schizo-tech fantasy world which is actually post-apocalyptic New York City except there's magic and stuff, and also it's no longer part of Earth because science somehow did an awful way back before the events of the game and kind of unintentionally sent the whole city hurtling through dimensions and picking up various kinds of magical bullshit along the way.

Raelyn was transported into another world (one that's more just straight fantasy) in order to help find ways to restore her home to what it once was. She took up adventuring and helping people as a way of conducting her search, reasoning that she could get information from the people she helped, but she got a little over-invested in this other world and now largely focuses on doing good in it with her original goals becoming secondary, at least for the time being. She also had decided relatively early in her adventuring career that she needed to work on becoming less squishy, and in order to accomplish this, she learned to use a spear and changed up how she used her magic so it could act as a supplement to that, shifting from being a typical mage to more of a battle mage. Then she discovered that she really likes beating the snot out of people or things that deserve it, so now she helps people violently.

Also she's unknowingly part of a plot to destroy the very world that she was sent to.

AU INFORMATION

CHARACTER AU NAME: Raelyn
STUDENT OR FACULTY?: Student, could possibly be in 10th, but probably actually in 8th or 9th because reasons.

CHARACTER BLURB:
Raelyn is a girl from an Outland community that was, at some point in the past, originally a group of ordinary humans from Earth. Having spent multiple generations in the Outlands has changed them to something a bit different, with the more-recent generations showing obvious inhuman traits and a natural talent for magic (particularly fire/ice/light/shadow). The events that led to them residing in the Outlands occurred so long ago that none that are alive now know for sure how long they've actually been out there or even why they came to call it their home in the first place.

The community as a whole is mostly women with some men, and they live under the watchful eye of a Daemon known to them as Hilder. Hilder is seen as something of an oddity at large, treating the community well and even aiding it personally when necessary, and notably, none of the community's members are actually contracted to her. (One of the adults, Kate, is contracted to a Daemon, but that Daemon is not Hilder.) Hilder is aware of the fact that Earth is preparing for Nightfall but lacks knowledge on how exactly they plan to deal with it, and while it's not in her interest, she considers it to be in the community's best interest to see Nightfall stopped in order to save the world that they used to call home. With that goal in mind, she sends Raelyn to Earth, intending for the girl to be her eyes and see just how its people intend to face their impending doom, so she can determine if—or how—she should intervene. Except, currently unknown to anyone but herself, Hilder actually wants Nightfall to succeed. An unknowing Raelyn is to be her tool for helping to make sure that it does, and the mental connection that Hilder uses for Rae to serve as her eyes could be used to plant suggestions toward that end.

Raelyn spends some time wandering after being sent to Earth, probably occasionally getting really confused or mad at language barriers (she knows English thanks to her community's forgotten origins, plus a few common Outland languages, including a fair bit of Daemonic to facilitate easier communication with Hilder, and nothing beyond that), and helping some of the people whose paths she crosses, some of these being for mundane tasks and others being more along the lines of actual hunter-type work. Then she ends up stumbling into Daybreak somehow (maybe directed to it by someone? or she crossed paths with someone from Daybreak and they asked her to come with them). This is either the best possible thing to happen because it gives her the best chance to escape the fate that she's still unaware of, or the worst thing because it would also enable Hilder to do some really serious damage if she wants to.

PRE-ESTABLISHED CR:
• It is possible that anybody that's spent any significant amount of time in the Outlands within the past 16 years could have met Raelyn at some point. Anyone that met her when she was younger would probably remember the girl who constantly played with a little shadow-kitten named Pluto. Anyone that met her closer to the present would remember a more-serious Rae, and would recall either her practicing the use of her innate magic, or training under one of the adults—a woman named Niu—in order to learn how to wield a spear. The reasons for her practice or learning the spear were so she could help defend her home if she needed to; the Outlands aren't exactly safe, after all. (I'm totally OK with anyone she'd met in this way being more than simple acquaintances, too; if they'd been out there long enough and you want your character to have been friends with her during that time? Sure, let's heckin' do it!)
• Possibly people she met and/or helped during her bit of wandering prior to arriving at the Academy? ...though this would probably be limited to other more-recent arrivals, or people who frequently spend time elsewhere.
• Other than that, Rae probably wouldn't know anyone, though she might have heard of some of them, particularly if they had a reputation in the Outlands.

DESIRED CR:
• Friends, rivals, people to worry about/be worried about by, people to get mad at, tbh anything goes. I want the reveal later to hurt.
• Rae has never actually been to Earth before now. Someone please take her aside and teach her literally anything.
• She will definitely need somebody that would be willing to either 1) tie her the fuck down, or 2) help her somehow break free when Hilder starts actually messing with her head.

OTHER:

Touma Hashiba | Yoroiden Samurai Troopers

[streamofthesky]

GENERAL INFORMATION

PLAYER NAME: Sailor G
CHARACTER NAME: Touma Hashiba
CANON: Yoroiden Samurai Troopers
BLURB: An ancient mystical armor was broken into nine pieces and scattered across the world to stop a demon called Arago from using it to conquer all. A latch key kid genius with divorced parents, Touma was given the armor of Tenku and used it to defend Earth and humanity from the demon. After Arago's defeat, Touma continues to work with the other armor bearers, most notably the other four who, with him, can combine their powers to create the Shiroi Kikoutei (White Armor). They keep their powers and armors for several years, attempting to live normal lives around various supernatural threats.

AU INFORMATION

CHARACTER AU NAME: Touma Hashiba
STUDENT OR FACULTY?: Student
CHARACTER BLURB: Touma is a young genius, the only son of a brilliant scientist investigating the Nightfall, Outlands, and Flames. His mother is a performer and travels often, having divorced his father when the boy was young... at Touma's own suggestion. Being smart can sometimes have its disadvantages, and Touma figured out his parents were miserable together. His mother occasionally comes home to visit, but, for the most part, Touma lives alone with his dad... though he rarely sees him. Being on his own most of the time, Touma found that he was also interested in the things his father was studying, and he began his own investigations in his spare time. The last thing he expected was to come across a group of Mages attempting to summon and Contract a Daemon for their own gains. The daemon was Tenku. Unbeknownst to Touma, the Daemon had actually been watching the Hashiba's in their studies, and had taken particular interest in Touma. When the Mages discovered Touma watching their ritual, they captured him and had planned on sacrificing him to the Daemon. Tenku refused and, much to the Mages dismay, offered his contract to Touma. Desperate and scared, the young pre-teen knew he was in over his head and had no other choice. He accepted, knowing it would at least prolong his life if he was granted powers to escape. What he later discovered was that Tenku was part of a small group of rare Daemons attempting to thwart a much larger and much more evil Daemon, Arago, from attempting to accelerate Nightfall. In order to do this, however, they needed Contracted humans.
PRE-ESTABLISHED CR: Touma's going to likely be in honors classes, but still skimming by. He's kind of lazy, and tends to sleep a lot because he has low blood pressure and often stays up late. He likes puzzle and strategy games, reading mysteries, and baseball. He's a huge sweet tooth and has a huge appetite. He doesn't make friends easily, though, so I'm definitely up for having a few study buddies and gaming club mates... stuff like that. Maybe a small group of close friends to start (four or five at most).
DESIRED CR: Touma will need to get out of his shell and learn to make friends. So he'll need people who are patient with his tendency to be a nerd. He's also surprisingly athletic for a nerd, so if anyone wants to play a bit of ball with him, please do. If there are any other baseball fans in the school, having someone be a fan of a rival team to the one Touma likes would be great.
OTHER: Sorry, Shin... Touma didn't mean to piss you off.

[heartofasamurai]

TOUMA. TOUMA. TOUMA.

Seiji needs you Touma. But also I want to throw Sarona at him. She will slap a health rune on you Touma to wake you up. Don't sleep in class. It makes other kids think they can slack off and they don't all have your brains. :|

[lastexit]

Holding a contract with a non-evil Demon will just... confuse Maya to no end. Maybe it'll even sound weird to her.

But she's patient with nerds, most of the time. And carries the saddest sad energy you could have to deal with.

[streamofthesky]

Okay, but... health rune or not, he still stayed up way too late... ~_^ Besides, not his fault if the others can't deal.

[streamofthesky]

All the weird. LOL. But, hey... he had two choices: accept the demon's contract and power to escape, or get used by a bunch of Mages as a sacrifice to said demon as part of their ceremony. He picked the contract. She can understand that, right?

Oh no, sad girl... :(

[feathercloak_princess]

GENERAL INFORMATION

PLAYER NAME: Rakath
CHARACTER NAME: Ella | Princess Gunnella | The Feathercloaked Specter | Ghost of the Battlefield
CANON: Original
BLURB:

Once Upon a Time, and that's the way any story too old to really be known starts, there was a princess. To protect her people, she sought out a monster in the woods, and asked it for the strength and skill she would need to fight for her homeland.

The monster, impressed with her desires, granted her request. But as with all things attached a price to the deal. Nothing can be so free, especially not power like this. She would serve, at the time she was needed she would fight for more than her people. She would fight the coming of the Night.

The princess, who didn't see the full meaning of this deal, took it. She would fight this night, whenever it came to pass. And she thought, when she was alive, it had come. It was only when she was dead she found out that the battle she promised to fight was so far away...

AU INFORMATION

CHARACTER AU NAME: Same as canon.
STUDENT OR FACULTY?: Haunt, not really a teacher but not really a student either.
CHARACTER BLURB:

So all of the above is still true, the princess died in a battle long ago, but her ghost is still promised to fight in the Nightfall. So she's spent the past fifteen hundred years wandering the world, and the outworld. As a ghost, but as she's meant to fight she can become corporeal in certain times and places (battle & parties, mostly).

She's adapted to the modern world really well, eternal 20-something is great. Sure, there's the concern someone might attempt an exorcism on her but she's not a bad kind of ghost. Plenty of barfights she can get into, battles she can join. She's a ghost story, that's a lot of fun if you don't focus on what you miss out on.

She gets to keep going until the Nightfall happens, win or lose. Her spirit ends there. Her contract fulfilled. She's not sure if she's ready for her eternal reward. There's a lot of cool shit she'd miss if she left the mortal plane. She's enjoying her 'life' as it is.

PRE-ESTABLISHED CR:

She's a ghost story, at the very least a number of people should have heard a story or two about her (even without knowing her name). Ella is a bit of a diva and happily showed up in full pre-viking war garb on World War II battlefields just to make a statement. (Even if they won't put it together until she wears her full regalia.)

Otherwise, anyone else significantly old should have had one or two run-ins with her just because its funny. She loves parties and fights, we can work something out.

DESIRED CR:

She's sticking around as this seems like the right place to prepare for the apocalypse. Since it seems to be a sooner rather than later thing. She's never stuck around for very long, dead and living not mixing that way kinda hurts. So people to challenge how comfortable she is not getting attached (the last time she got properly attached was roughly a millennia ago, although she was also devastated when the Beatles broke up).

OTHER: Playing an OC is new for me so go easy, also it means I don't have a solid gifset for her... so I went with this!

[alreadyhuman]

It's entirely possible Vivi might have met a more serious Rae, especially since he was traveling alone for a significant amount of his 3-4 years of Outlands time and may have gotten into trouble (or helped Rae out with something, even). But I def think it'd be some interesting CR for these two to befriend each other considering future plot stuff!

[lotusbeater]

If they met before, particularly with it being somewhat recently, she would probably remember him!

As for how they'd have met to begin with, bailing him out of trouble or his helping her both make sense; he could have been passing by the village while trying to escape something and Rae provides a rescue, or happening to pass by while the village itself is being attacked and choosing to try to lend some aid himself. If you want him to actually know her rather than just having been acquaintances, he could have stuck around for a little while too, like to recover after whatever was going on, or one of the adults offering to let him stay around for a bit as thanks.

If you want, we could even go with both scenarios, where one of them happens at one point and then the second happens some time later with whoever had been the one being assisted returning the favor.

[tookashirototheknee]

GENERAL INFORMATION

PLAYER NAME: Quinn
CHARACTER NAME: Matthew Holt
CANON: Voltron: Legendary Defender
BLURB: Matt's an astronaut and scientist who wanted to explore and discover new things in space. What he got was captured and enslaved for his trouble. He becomes a leader of rebels, fakes his death and eventually finds his family again and helps save Earth from a bunch of imperialistic assholes.

Voltron is a science fiction canon with flying robot lions and a shiny blue force that binds the universe together. Matt's part of it is fairly small, but he loves his science and his space, and he's able to make a difference in spite of everything.


AU INFORMATION


CHARACTER AU NAME: Matthew Holt
STUDENT OR FACULTY: TA in Runes and/or science. Possibly also an RA.
CHARACTER BLURB: Matt was part of a prominent mission to the Outland to study the effect of runic objects on the innate magic of the area. He and his father were lost. Only recently did he come back from the Outland, scarred, but very much alive. He won't talk much about his experiences, at least for now.

He's part of the Garrison of the Rune Guard, and he's one of the brightest and best students of Runic Inscriptions that's been seen in years. He's also enthusiastic as hell about his craft, and will absolutely talk your ear off if you'll let him.

PRE-ESTABLISHED CR: People who knew him before the mission, and who would be wierded out by him coming back.
DESIRED CR: I am 100% open for anything! Friends, people who are dubious about him coming back, kids to mentor, anything!
OTHER: He's a good hobo. Be nice to him.

[marmoron]

HELLO FANCY SEEING YOU HERE.

Okay, so if you wanted more canon parallels, maybe the Galra (who are an Outlands lycan clan) could have abducted Sam and Matt while they were out exploring the Outlands during their mission. Not that this gives any real foundation for established CR between Keith and Matt but MAYBE it could be interesting for them to both kinda deal with when they both figure out Keith's also Galra.

[alreadyhuman]

Ooh I like the sound of 'both happening!' Vivi probably got rescued first, and then came back to return the favour and stayed with them for a little while, maybe?

[tookashirototheknee]

Ooooh. I like that!

I'm a sucker for canon parallels in AUs, and that's a great one.

I'm thinking if they did know each other, it's a passing acquaintance. More 'oh, yeah, that's another person at school.'

[lotusbeater]

Doing things in that order does make sense.

Going by what I've got down so far, the more-serious Rae practicing magic or learning how to use a spear started four years back, which means her meeting Vivi could really be at any point during his wandering. Do you have a specific point in time you'd want it to be?

[snookers]

GENERAL INFORMATION

PLAYER NAME: Jon
CHARACTER NAME: Eclipsa Butterfly
CANON: Star vs. The Forces of Evil
BLURB: A former queen of Mewni who abdicated the throne and married a monster. Was properly sealed away in a crystal and believed to be super evil. Though selfish and packing questionable morals, she is ultimately trying to do a good job now that the Queendom is in her hands once more.

AU INFORMATION

CHARACTER AU NAME: Eclipsa Butterfly
STUDENT OR FACULTY?: Faculty
CHARACTER BLURB:
Born into a relatively influential mage family known for their expertise in hunting monsters. Her mother, the former leader of the clan, died while she was young. She was raised by servants and what family members could be bothered, but she never really felt any attachment to them after the death of her mother. Eclipsa was taught the ways of magic and, when she became old enough, was given two artifacts that had been passed down her family for generations: a magic wand and a spell book containing every spell ever created by the Butterfly Clan. Over time her affinity with magic grew and she was labelled a genius by the clan, but she found herself increasingly dissatisfied with her lot in life. For one thing, she'd grown fond of the monsters who they were supposed to kill. Many, she'd found, were not nearly as horrible as the clan had initially led her (and others) to believe.

Although she spent some time leading the clan and making reforms, the elder members fought her every which way. The final straw, however, was when they tried to force her into an arranged marriage for the betterment of the clan. In retaliation, she took the wand and fled to Daybreak. She'd heard about the school years earlier and had decent relations with some of the staff there, so it seemed like a logical course of action.

PRE-ESTABLISHED CR: Fellow mage friends, people she met during her travels or during her guest visits to Daybreak, people who know of the Butterfly Clan and don't like their ways, people who've heard the bad rumors from said clan and don't trust her, etc.
DESIRED CR: Fellow morally gray types, students for her to dote over, kids who need advice, faculty to make friends with, etc. Honestly I'm open to ALL the CR.
OTHER:

She's really good at playing the guitar. Music club, maybe?

[ofexperience]

He can come talk both of mine's ears off about runes tbh Lia's been learning a lot about runes lately, and V here is very interested in them!!

.... V incidentally has also been in the Outlands for years so if that's something that could possibly be interesting, there's that.

[wonderland_vogue]

GENERAL INFORMATION

PLAYER NAME: Star
CHARACTER NAME:Lydia
CANON: The Adventure Zone: Balance
BLURB: One half of a pair of asshole liches that more or less create a labyrinthian game show version of Wonderland. Takes a lot of shit from a lot of people. Are kind of dicks. They kinda get murdered later, it's fine. She's fine. It's not like they tried to become gods in the god realm or whatever later, of course not, live shows aren't canon.

AU INFORMATION

CHARACTER AU NAME: Still just Lydia
STUDENT OR FACULTY?: No one is letting her near faculty ever, so she'd probably be a grad-student, maybe a TA if someone thinks she knows anything ever.
CHARACTER BLURB:
Kinda the same as canon, hilariously.

- Her particular kind of elf is pretty Outlands exclusive
- So basically her mom was kinda ousted from the elf group they were from for a Lot of reasons
- She kinda ended up pregnant from some other outcasted elf dude who fucked off like immediately
- Lydia and her twin brother kinda born
- Raised by a pretty terrible mother, oops
- Has another son later down the line and gets sick
- Kinda dies, leaving Lydia and Edward to raise their little brother Keats
- Use their pretty inherent illusion magic to hustle people in the Outlands and in the human realm (traveling ain't a big deal what)
- Keats kinda gets sick, oops with the same thing that killed their mom
- No hope there, kinda get into a necromantic cult and learn a Lot of Shit
- Still don't work, he die
- MAYBE BRING BACK THE DEAD????
- Don't work
- Well, fuck it, they don't want to lose each other so they become liches which no one in that cult has managed to do before oops
- Get run out from that cult because Why The Fuck Can They Do It?
- Kinda fuck off out of the Outlands and realize they need to feed on Something
- Love don't do shit, need something stronger. Suffering works real well.
- We won't talk about that One Place that lasted for a bit that evidently tormented people.
- INTERNET COMES AROUND AND GUESS WHAT IDIOTS FIND IT
- Apparently trolling people on the Internet and pissing them off works real well too somehow????
- Guess who also are stupid good at this human voguing shit and are popular Youtubers for that on top of people absolute dickweeds? It them.
- You know people hate liches? So she more or less took a deal from the school for security purposes. Promises to behave as much as she can.
- Having someone around who knows a Thing or Two about necromancy and illusion magic probably isn't a bad idea actually???
PRE-ESTABLISHED CR: Hey, anyone that might have heard about her and Edward's dickbaggery with AU Wonderland a good number of years ago. Or people who have run into her at weird balls and dance competitions. Or, you know, you're big on That Section of Youtube.

Mage friends would be kinda cool, too, since that's what she kind of is.
DESIRED CR: MAGES???? MAGICAL APPRENTICES??? Come learn necromancy from a not teacher, it's fine. It'll be fine. Open to all kinds of other shit, somehow this one is more hatable than Jolyne and I'm sorry. At least Jolyne has redeeming features.
OTHER:I'm not sorry for what I did.

[prince_type]

GENERAL INFORMATION

PLAYER NAME: Star
CHARACTER NAME: Tamaki Suou
CANON: Ouran High School Host Club
BLURB: Stupid rich school filled with stupid rich kids, this ding dong decides it's a great idea to make a host club to amuse bored girls. Kind of gets wrapped up in a whole weird ordeal with a girl who gets mistaken as a guy and brought into their little club. Something something deviation between anime and manga with how that relationship kinda goes.

Tamaki's kind of an idiot, it's fine.

AU INFORMATION

CHARACTER AU NAME: Same as canon
STUDENT OR FACULTY?: Student, holy shit
CHARACTER BLURB: His backstory is about the same as canon re: his existence and the whole ordeal with his mother and moving places. HE'LL BE PRETTY STOKED ABOUT COMING BACK TO FRANCE, ACTUALLY.

So basically he'd been training and going to regular school by his Japanese side of the family as they're all a pretty prestigious mage clan as well as businessmen in various capabilities. But of course, Tamaki being Tamaki, has other stupid frivolous nonsense he wants to do instead. Which leads him more towards taking a keen interest in the illusion side of things and using it for his club at his school at the time which does a great job of convincing people to his ridiculous cause or whatever?

Of course with Nightfall being a Thing and his grandmother Very Clearly wanting them to be involved for totally not prestige purposes, he's being shipped from his place in Japan (and his friends, dammit) to Daybreak to learn something actually useful.

Needless to say, he's going to be getting into a lot of dumb shenanigans. Maybe bring the club to France, who knows.
PRE-ESTABLISHED CR: Hey, other mage families might be kinda cool since they're kind of a Big Deal in Japan at least. Or I guess people involved in Japan's business scene might recognize his last name, too.
DESIRED CR: PEOPLE TO HELP WITH HIS STUPID SHENANIGANS, LET THE BOY LIVE.
OTHER:

[ofexperience]

Lia would be So Down With Shenanigans--that said, Lia's mother is a mage who keeps track of other mage families despite having split off from her own (mage politics are a Thing and she wants to keep an eye on things just in case of disaster :|;;;), so it's possible Lia's overheard her mother talking about Tamaki's family a bit.

[prince_type]

Shenanigans.

Lmfao, it's honestly entirely possible. His other side of the family is kind of the same, but that probably wouldn't come about unless he mentions what his last name kind of was before he ended up over in Japan and all that. So oops, double mages.

[spelleton]

did someone say ~mage friends~

or at least Someone She Might Be Vaguely Acquainted With considering House Gehring's whole thing, depending on how recently she came to Daybreak

[bolderfell]

WOULD WE BE GETTING A DAYBREAK ACADEMY HOST CLUB?

[prince_type]

HE'S GONNA DAMN WELL TRY AND GET ONE GOING.

[bolderfell]

THIS IS THE BEST NEWS OF MY LIFE

Therion won't want in, but I do

[prince_type]

TOO BAD, THERION.

Honestly, this is going to be the most horrendous thing and I look so forward to the mess.
