JANUARY AU WORKSHOP

Welcome to the AU Workshop! We understand adapting a character for an AU game can be a difficult process, even if you have all the creativity in the world, so we've put this together to help! Just fill out the form and post it in a comment below, and sort of brain out which ideas stick!

Keep in mind this is not a reserve. Reserves will open on the 3rd, as always, and you don't need to use this if you're already sure of your ideas! This is just a fun creative exercise that we hope you enjoy and find helpful!

Be sure to check out our Premise, FAQ, Locations, and NPC posts for worldbuilding info to help you get started!

Here's the form!<b>PLAYER:</b> <b>CHARACTER:</b> <b>CANON:</b> <b>AU NAME:</b> if the character's name is different, you can note so here! If not, feel free to put n/a <b>AU AGE:</b> same here! <b>BLURB:</b> Write a short description of your character's AU! Are they a Meta-human? If so, what are their powers? Are they a normal human? Do they have anything else unusual about them, such as cybernetic parts or other features? What's their background? Hobbies? Anything interesting you want to say! <b>LOOKING FOR:</b> Are you looking for family members or friends or enemies for your character to be pre-planned? Or are you asking for ideas or feedback on your AU idea? Anything goes, just specify what you would like. <b>OPTIONAL ENABLE ME:</b> Are you torn between which character to app? Let us help! Post your ideas in a comment and let fellow players offer feedback and CR ideas. You can also use this section to ask for canonmates you would like to see in-game whether it be in your specific AU or for different CR.

PLAYER: Dassa
CHARACTER: Nephenee
CANON: Fire Emblem

AU NAME: Street name is Nephenee, but her adopted first name is Marigold. She goes mostly by her street name. Taken last name is Vertegrez.
AU AGE: 24-ish

BLURB: Meta-human who can manipulate metals and, to a much lesser extent, earth. She's lived in the city for several years now after being rescued with others from a project that essentially tried to make child soldiers out of meta-humans and helping a small group of meta-human vigilantes take that group and another out so others don't deal with the same thing she did. She's been searching for her family, but with no real success beyond some possible leads.

She's very kind and nice to a fault, but also shy and a bit socially-stunted from the whole affair, and while she legally does work as a guard and other things, she's been helping the NSO for a bit now. She can also be a bit too serious just by virtue of everything, and is VERY protective of kids.

The main physical difference Nephenee has from her canon counterpart is her hair color. It's naturally a darker auburn, but her powers tend to shift it to her canon color of emerald green, like copper developing a verdigris. In-universe, this is either an effect of her powers normally or some of the stuff they used with her while she was in captivity.

Hobbies include training in various disciplines and some martial arts, cooking, and...probably some other stuff. Maybe reading. Despite not remembering a lot of her childhood, she also shows a strong affinity for plants and animals, having grown up on a farm.

OH, and she has a rather strong country accent. In RL terms, probably roughly a South Carolinian one. I don't care how she sounds in Heroes because her voices there suck, she has an accent that doesn't go away fully even when she tries to force it off.

LOOKING FOR: Ideas/feedback and friends/adoptive family! She's kind of lonely and she desperately needs people that can keep her from getting too serious and that she can love on.

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: I would LOVE to have canonmates from her games. So far I've figured that several people in the group she worked with are tied to others in Greil's Mercenaries, but I'm open to ideas and people apping those however they wish! But CR in general is what I want, with everyone!

So what would her thoughts be on Yakashbah aligned Metahumans like this technokinetic?

[nephtunium]

I'm not quite sure how militant the org is, or rather how willing they are to hurt innocents in their pursuit of equality for metas, but she supports the equality bit at least, though it'll depend highly on if they take the "ends justify the means" route...

On an individual level, she'll judge based on how the person acts, not so much on the org necessarily...she might be wary depending, but given she was fighting anti-meta-human groups at one point...she can't throw stones too much.

Also auto-correct kept trying to correct "metas" to "meats"...We're Arby's now, y'all!

[scarlet_devil]

Well... Emilia here is definitly the 'ends justify the means' type, much like Magneto actually.

[nephtunium]

uh oh, this gun be good. Well, she'll still be judged on her actions...so take that as you will. Neph will totally try to talk her out of doing dumb stuff!
