[recolle] Hey, anybody want to help me AU plan for Zack Fair?

Pure Class
Depends on what you have planned already lol

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
Lol, working on it. Still making it up a bit as I go along. Nothing set quite in stone yet.

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
I don't think I want him to really have a military background

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
I'm looking at what our former Zack had to see if I want to keep any of it, or if I'm going 100% original

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
I aim to kind of go with the "before canon" Zack Fair's temperament, going with a slightly more jerkish attitude. But overall still playful and out to have fun

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
I'm still trying to settle with a career.

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
Carpenter, maybe?

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιηis
carpenter even still an actual profession?

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
Or is everything just "constructionists" now?

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
Maybe a landscaper

Pure Class
lol there is still wooden furniture and bookcases and other items made of wood

Pure Class
that means there's still carpenters

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
True!

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
I could have him open his own customization shop!

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
(Looks like I'm going 100% own concept on this one. Didn't find anything I wanted to keep)

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
Yuff ☼ Hey, I know you had Elliot have familial history with Zack. Would you mind if I asked you if you wanted to keep any of that?

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
It's fine if you do or don't, no obligation. I just thought I'd offer

kikibug13
... well. This will be fun...

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
kikibug13: Lol, what about you? Would you like anything particularly?

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
I'm accepting ideas at this point

kikibug13
I mean, their backstory WAS the military

kikibug13
so Zack suddenly saying he never was there will... hit hard

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
Awe :<

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
-pets Andrew-

Yuff ☼
Yeah I would have to also talk to Charles/ That one guy about it, since Natalia also a cousin of Zack's

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
Yuff ☼: Yea, that's fair! I don't have them on my timeline, so thank you. I appreciate it ^^

Yuff ☼
if you want to dramatically change his story that much, it might be hard though since that'd mean retconning for us, but again I'll have to talk to them to see what they think

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
Of course, I totally understand

Pure Class
I think it would be better if you just made it that this is a different Zack rather than keeping his previous CR

Pure Class
Since that's a thing that can happen

Yuff ☼
yeah

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
Yea, you're right.

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
My bad, yo

kikibug13
Hooow does that work with people who have Memories of him

Yuff ☼
I'm not sure actually...........

Yuff ☼
you mean in regards to regains right?

Pure Class
like AU memories? or canon memories?

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
kikibug13: Ah! I actually was reading up on this one!

kikibug13
/nodnods Andrew has memories of Zack that they discussed - I mean, IG that conversation can be retconned but ahah ha ha

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
So, basically, it becomes a "glitch"

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
While you can remember things, they would now be considered inaccurate memories of present Zack.

kikibug13
but regains memories

kikibug13
hmph

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
Regains would stay the same. I don't think that would change

kikibug13
I'll sleep on it and see if it computes better in the mornings

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
Alright, sorry for the confusion. Let me know if I can help with any clarifications, okay?

kikibug13
NAH not your fault, your own AU is best way to do it

kikibug13
otherwise it gets weird if the other AU doesn't fit you

ι - aм тнaт ιѕ
/CRASHES IN HERE

kikibug13
o7

ι - aм тнaт ιѕ
 hi

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
ι - aм тнaт ιѕ: Yay! I got a Genesis card for free!

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
Welcome to the Hell that is my Plur

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
Plurk* even

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
See what I mean?

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
ι - aм тнaт ιѕ: If you have any ideas you want to throw at me, I'm all ears

ι - aм тнaт ιѕ
Please, I'm so much worse.

ι - aм тнaт ιѕ
But yes, his new AU would be a glitch. Other people will retain what they had, I believe, but it'd be presented as a glitch.

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
Hahahaa! Good, I expect you to be above my level, then

ι - aм тнaт ιѕ
regains, however, don't stay.

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
Hmm?

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
Oh, wait, yea

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
They're right

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
Zack's regains don't sta

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
stay*

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
istg, I can type

ι - aм тнaт ιѕ
So anything previous Zack remembered is gone. But if he told anyone about it, those people will remember.

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
I thought we were talking about Angeal's regains and I'm like, "Those... don't go.... anywhere????"

kikibug13
yeah. And Andrew and Zack talked about shared memories

ι - aм тнaт ιѕ
As for any ideas for me, I don't have any? Genesis was more or less just on acquaintance level.

ι - aм тнaт ιѕ
So idk what'd change! Hm.

ι - aм тнaт ιѕ
Well, aside from, "Weren't you in the military?"

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
Zack throws in confusion line of, "You must have me confused with my brother. No biggie"

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
because I'm mean

ι - aм тнaт ιѕ
Unless like, idk, Zack built Genesis bookshelves or something. "You sure you want another one? Dude, you have a lot already."

ι - aм тнaт ιѕ
(LOL)

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
AHAHAHA!

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιηhas
to hold all his literature somehow

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
Also, doesn't your Genesis have a bookstore? Or something?

kikibug13
oh he does

ι - aм тнaт ιѕ
yup

ι - aм тнaт ιѕ
Bookstore with his home being on the second and third floors :3

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
Then yea, let him customize all of your furniture, yo

kikibug13
and books EVERYwhere

ι - aм тнaт ιѕ
Also, in regards to the glitch, I went over the FAQ, I think the glitch might effect everyone? I'd probably ask the mods to clarify though.

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
Yea, I'll check with them

ι - aм тнaт ιѕ
Yes, Genesis has way too many books. Look, his family is kinda rich, there are worse things he could have spent that money ok.

ι - aм тнaт ιѕ
Dun judge him

kikibug13
Andrew's not judging. He likes it

ι - aм тнaт ιѕ
spent the money on ok*

ι - aм тнaт ιѕ
gosh see I fail at typing too.

Yuff ☼
Okay I talked to Charles! Since you're looking to have a completely different backstory, I'd say it'd probably be easier for all of us if they're not related and he's a different Zack altogether

Yuff ☼
I'd still really like CR!

Yuff ☼
If anything Elliot would be like whoa weird that this guy who has the same first name looks so much like his cousin

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
Yuff ☼: Sounds good, thank you! I really appreciate it! And sure, I'd be happy to have CR. Do you want anything preconstructed? Or brand new when he gets in?

kikibug13
y on cr, though probably will have to be built in the last 10 months or so

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
ι - aм тнaт ιѕ: Typoists gotta stick together! o/\o

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
kikibug13: Sorry, come again?

Yuff ☼
HMMM, would he happen to do any customizations on instruments or instrument cases?

Yuff ☼
if he's doing a customization shop?

kikibug13
Andrew's only been in Recolle for about 10 months

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
Yuff ☼: Absolutely!

kikibug13
so CR even with backdating would have to be at most from that

Yuff ☼
okay! Maybe something through that? Because Elliot would totally bring in his stuff sometimes to be fine tuned

Yuff ☼
I'll tihnk on specifics. Some would be normal requests, some would be...weird..since he's a mage

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
kikibug13: Ohhh! Gotcha. Yea, I can work with that for sure.

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
Yuff ☼: Alright! That sounds great.

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
How old is Elliot?????

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
He's so freaking young looking, I don't know how to deal

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
(I could just look at his app, huh. brb)

Yuff ☼
He's 18!

Yuff ☼
19 next month

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
Lol, thank you.

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
But whoo! Congrats Elliot!

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
Elliot runs a shop, too? Right?

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
Selling his foodstuffs and magic edibles?

Yuff ☼
he sells food yeah, usually just online and at the farmer's market

Yuff ☼
it's to pay for his music stuff, so it's not a serious gig

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
That's fair

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
I'm just thinking

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
Maybe something like

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
I'm sorry if this sounds like a total mess

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
But what if like Zack offered at some point for him to run like a conjoined cafe with his shop? Something his customers could go to while he works on their things?

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
wow, that came out clearer than I thought it would

Yuff ☼
oh he doesn't have a physical shop, it's just a stall at the farmerk's market on weekends

Yuff ☼
he's not interested in owning it long term, just until he cna support himself as a musician- it's a nice thought though!

яεcүcℓαвℓε тιη
^^
