Well, the plot idea I have is something along the lines:

Da AU Group™ are called to a military base by an officer, being tasked to deal with an incredibly powerful, decades old, preteen-looking psychic, who is severely lacking in departments such as basic human empathy. It's been noticed that people have been disappearing and the sightings around the old facility he was in haven't just gotten more frequent, but also in the surrounding town he apparently couldn't even manifest in.

Da AU Group™ are sent in to deal with this child (name pending; maybe thinking "Shiro"). Things likely get worse quickly.

Just put up a new char sheet. Awaiting approval.

As a character, I don't see any issue with Travis Belmont as submitted. However, after seeing Herbert effectively act like a racist who was nearly constantly ready to put a bullet in Lovisia simply because she was a demon (even though she actually spoke to people and didn't immediately attempt to claw the faces off of everyone within reach), you have to understand that I am kind of nervous when you mention Travis being a "jerkass".

Understandable. I think I'll spend some more time with Herbert to make him adjust to Lovisia's presence and her behavior before introducing Belmont. Maybe I'll bring him in after the next plot.

Well, I have this idea about a plot where the group has to fight their evil alternate universe counterparts from the future. And the final boss is an anime character played by Hil...

I think we did that in the past, and honestly I would like to do that again, but I am not sure if AU is ready for that arc.

Besides we should create across universes: super evil edition first. >.>

I had a plot idea but considering that There's been only one major plot between now and then I was gonna save it. If you want I can post it and see who is interested.

Surprisingly this one will not involve giant robots.

Chuck, are we sure OUR guys aren't the evil alternate counterparts from the future? :P

I would like to hear more, Bcom

[up][up]I still see that working better as a one-off arc, to be honest. Being the bad guy is hard >.>

well short answer: AU does a bank heist and helps trains some rebels.

Long answer: the AU crew is hired by a struggling resistance movement on a planet where the government rules with an iron fist, but rather than being hired to directly fight the government via assassinating/blowing up some government stooges, the rebels are looking to hire instructors so that they can take back their planet themselves. At the same time, the best way to train someone is in the field, so they want the AU crew to help rob a major bank to show the rebels how you pull off a hit and run.

In short, the AU crew is likely gonna get a bunch of patriots killed due to incompetence, but hey at least they'll get paid...and also you are the vietcong.

Okay, we also have an Evil AU plot run by Rai in the running apperntly, but let's get this vote under way.

New experiential system, vote for any plots you would want to play, no limit on how many you can vote for, just all you would want to play.

I'm voting for both of Rai's plots, so AU vs the Deviants and that Evil AU thing.

Honestly? All of these look pretty interesting.

Discussing with Sunny, the basic of basic premises is that we're playing evil counterparts to our normal characters and going through one of their adventures.

Whether that means an exact evil twin ala Bizarro or Dark Link, or just someone who is their morally opposed counterpart ala Owlman or Judge Death, is up to personal interpretation.

I admittedly have not had a lot of time to come up with something, but I got enough down in my brain to drive a plot forwards.

It doesn't count if they're already evil, smart aleck. Otherwise it'd be the GOOD AU arc tongue

In seriousness, I don't care that much, but I'm going to be treating this particular arc as something not 100% related to the current cast or the events they experienced, so doing a straight port of a character might end up confusing for the plot I'm cooking up. But if you want to go that way, then go ahead.
