AU Backstory Planning Post

✯Information

Every month, we'll have a post where new characters and old characters can plan out backstories with one another. This should hopefully get characters something to work with when coming up with their alternate universes and get some prebuilt CR for those who are looking for it! This is NOT a requirement, you could be an unattached person if you'd like! However, for those who do want it, this is the place for you!

Before you start with making an AU, I would recommend getting familiar with some of the information to get an idea of how the setting works here.

◆ How to Build an AU
◆ What are Families?
◆ The Eight Families
◆ Names
◆ Full Navigation for any other questions/curiosities!

Once you get done with that, you can comment to the post!

✯Established Characters

For established characters, you can use this post as well! If you have an "open to all" type of CR where you're always needing a certain type of CR, you can do that here! This includes a restaurant needing regular patrons or a teacher needing students, guinea pigs for experiments, etc. Open to All is literally Open to All, it is never closed until the OP player adds a CLOSED comment so if you're a new player, don't feel like you're overwhelming them by commenting!!

When you post your comment looking to plot, please toplevel the post with OPEN TO ALL | CHARACTER CANON NAME (CANON) and then fill out the following:

Player Name:
Character:
Canon: Please also list if they are post game!
Family:
Looking for You can included things like regulars for cafe, regular patients, students, past lovers, etc.
Any other notes:

Whenever you reach your CR limit, feel free to comment to your toplevel with the header CLOSED to let new players know that you're not taking any more CR for the time being (of course you can still tag new potential players!). It will also close automatically once the new monthly post goes up.

Player Name: Aru
Character: Nebula
Canon: MCU
Family: Unholy Disorder
Looking for
FAMILY: Either found or extended family is good! She is also technically a middle child of three in total siblings so if you want Actual Family. Do not worry you do not have to be blue we'll figure something out. I JUST. Really enjoy found family tropes (obviously) and that's such a big thing for GoTG I do want to play with it a little bit in LL as she develops into regains. Loyalty/family is conceptually a really big thing for her so she would always put that kind of thing first and eventually may only be nicer/more open around them??? (Look I don't know how she'll react).

Please just let her be the older sibling for once. Even the cranky younger sibling is fun

CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES: Okay, so Nebula takes from the what if? heist stuff a bit here. She's from a filthy rich family and they're trying to push her into a role she doesn't want so she uses it to her advantage ??? She's still a preAtty stellar mechanic and hacker so she's often finding out about more nefarious things and trying to put a stop on them behind the scenes?? IDK QUITE HOW IT WORKS OUT. but her focus usually is getting people out of bad homes/shitty situations as quietly as possible.

So she'd need contacts/people to get information from (Cirrus???) probably. All of this would be online and tagged as C. If in person was necessary she would appear as a human and still only go by C/Corvus. They can figure it out, maybe, because she's not super hiding it. But connects/people who would help/people who may look into it (and yeah it's seedy but it's Generally for good).

SPARRING/MARTIAL ARTS: She is/was a championship martial artists who does self-defense classes regularly and free ones for youth on the weekend!!!! So if your character is someone who would look to take such classes or would in fact want to have some fun on the ring at some point.... She is happy to oblige.

PAST LOVES/FLINGS: Another thing I hold out my hands on because once she remembers canon she is gonna become so much more closed off. She will have been more extroverted/playful/social especially as a teenager and in college. If anyone is roughly in her age range (28ish) and want to have them have crossed path and either had a couple nights of fun, some trying and eh it's not us, serious or semi-serious relationships... Please. I'd really like one that was seriously positive for future things??? Doesn't mean they have to be together now/any present interest, but something we're they're close if you're up for it!!

GENERAL CR: I'd really just like??? A lot of positive CR for her. THIS IS NOT NO NEGATIVE CR. I am happy for negative stuff!!! If it works out that way, maybe they've got a rivalry. Maybe she accidentally got in the way during a heist or whatever- I AM TOTALLY COOL WITH IT. This is more of a Nebula is going to have a drastic character regain arc and I'd like her to experience having self worth, love, etc. while she can. That and also it'll hurt more later - but also I think she just deserves to see what she cold have been.

So I am genuinely happy to consider!! and take any CR you might want to offer.

Any other notes:
In short the complete opposite of canon: She was born into a happy family as a middle child. She was well-loved, no one was killed, and she lives a good childhood where she was taught that doing the right thing was okay and that having a soft heart wasn't weak. (:

Her parents were in a middling successful health resort that became super popular/funded when she was in Middle School. As they grew in money/respect she was moved to a rich school. You know the kind Ouran High School style - she felt a little out of her depth and was eventually dragged into some Host Club esque shenanigans because it's funny and I might as well live this.

Her main hobby was martial arts and motorcycle racing and that still holds true today. She's seen as a very physically fit person. SHE IS PROBABLY WELL KNOWN in like martial arts circles and mildly known in motorcycle competitions as the person who shows up to race once and a while and still manages to do extremely well. Since the resort she's been assigned to has a bar she is often there?? Not even drinking, sometimes "working"

I'm pretty sure we decided that Jun worked in the cafe/coffee shop there??

Even here she always seems to be busy.... Very confident and tried to be empathetic. Can get a little awkward and be dumb off ass sometimes. Like why is this person actually smart but still managed to do something so stupid??? kind.
