AU PLANNING POST
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!

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!!

For Charon he does have a couple of hooks because he both works teaching students and runs a weird little quiet hybrid bar/cafe, so some possibilities are:
- he COULD tutor her if she's still attending school in some fashion at 18. this does not necessarily need to be something she hired him for; if she hung out and studied at the cafe as a regular they could easily have struck up a casual friendship where he just let her chill there with drinks and free wifi and occasionally would sit down and help her out during lulls if she seemed to be struggling with something.
- if you want her to have a side job or something, it's possible for her to work part-time at his business during the day (when the cafe portion is open and the bar portion is closed -- this is not due to her age, he just runs it at night alone for Reasons.)
- OR SOMETHING ELSE if you wanna take bits of this or have a more interesting angle in mind I am open to tweak, he ain't even placed yet so there's time lol. I will note that I don't know where he'll go but did request Unholy Disorder as one of his possibles, so if he ends up there we could figure out something around that.
I'm still stuck on how to make something work with Vash's AU so I think quite possibly he will just meet her on the ship and think she is a nice young lady.

i could mix both of the first options since she is still in school (and is trying to figure out if she wants to try for college or go straight to work since she has to be out of the orphanage soon), but honestly she'd probably offer to help out at the cafe also since its one of the few refuges she has and its very dear to her. it's a unique area where she doesn't have to be the big sister- or at least not as big of the big sister as she normally is, if she's not allowed to go out without some of the younger kids- while letting her still be productive but also offering relaxation...
this also does put charon in the position of being an adult she actually does confide in instead of her trying to be seen as more of an adult since thats how everyone else is treating her, which is very dear to me (i cannot emphasize enough how much i love charon and sonata seth) (this is a different take on mafuyu but still)
his being potentially unholy disorder is also very good because thats two there she'd know and like now, but also i can already see an arc where she becomes disillusioned with the holy order and this sets up pieces of that beautifully

I will touch Mafuyu with Vash once IC time moves a little and he's not under wack personality status effects anymore also /o/

MOM HOLY FUCKAMITY I HAD A THOUGHT okay!!!and thats so valid honestly
