Character Name: Gilgamesh Wulfenbach
Blurb: A scientist by trade who could be described as a trifle mad. He gets very excited when he's building things, and is prone to fits of manic technical brilliance. On the other hand, he's also kind of bad at reading people and tends to miss social cues even he's NOT in the Madness Place.

AU Info: Son of a politician and minor noble family that has only recently become prominent in politics. His father had him raised not just in secret, but also in ignorance of his bloodline. To teach him self reliance and independence, you see. Gil only recently discovered his father's true identity, and is coming to terms with suddenly having to deal with the upper crust.
Steel/Electric Engineer

Pre-Existing CR: Gil went to one of the most elite schools in Union, his way paid for by a "mysterious benefactor" (his father). People may remember him as a troublemaker who liked to take things apart to see how they worked, sneak into places he wasn't supposed to go, and get very excited about strange things.

Even more recently, he was publicly declared the heir of House Wulfenbach, which has been making waves in the last few years.

Looking for: Other tech whizzes. People who are easy to boss around (Seriously. What kind of self respecting mad scientist doesn't have any lackeys or minions?), people to laugh at him when he misses something obvious. Someone to give him his trademark hat.

Potential Connections: Obviously other engineers and such, but he also has been known to sneak into bars despite being technically underage.

Other Info: Despite being Enlightened, he doesn't really have any enlightened powers. Or rather, he does, but they're entirely mental. He can't shoot lasers or turn invisible, but he can intuitively understand devices or natural forces and quickly understand how to bend them to his will.

Anything Else?:

He SERIOUSLY hates that hat.

Character Name: Morgiana
Blurb: Tiny, soft spoken ex-slave who can kick people through walls.

AU Info: Ex-servitor from Gigas, Morgiana escaped and is living in exile/hiding in Union while she works against her former oppressors. She is a member of the Fanalis clan: a group of people who have superhuman strength, speed, and senses, but very poor ability to connect with Pokemon.
Fighting/Fire God of War.

Pre-Existing CR: She is from Gigas, as mentioned, so anyone else from there might...conceivably have known her? Unlikely. She also spent the last six months ~~being dropped from the game~~ traveling the lands to the South, so if you're from there you might have run into her there.

Looking for: A group for her to join. Bad people for her to beat up. People to help her get over her various mental hangups from a lifetime of abuse.

Actually, I also kind of wanted to do a plot where Morgiana and someone else get captured by slavers, hoping to sell them to Gigas for Servitors or some similarly awful fate. Obviously, this would lead to daring escapes and heroic rescues and such, but it would put her in interesting (sad) mental places.

Potential Connections: She spends a lot of time helping out around her neighborhood. She doesn't make a lot of money, but since she helps out everyone and since crime in the area has started dropping, she doesn't tend to NEED a lot of money. When you help everyone, sometimes people want to help you back.

Other Info: Nothing comes to mind..........

Anything Else?:

Lenna and Gil should thread sometime, both being from noble houses and all. Especially since Lenna's friends with Lux.

Also, we should talk sometime about how to take Chie/Morgiana stuff forward, since I think they're edging closer to it after the event.

Alright well lets see...Lux doesn't have a very high opinion of Gil, so Lenna might not have heard good things about him. Gil doesn't understand WHY Lux doesn't like him, because he's really dense with that kind of thing. I don't know where this would lead, but probably somewhere funny.

As for Morgiana, I was actually toying around with the idea of her looking for a roommate so she can afford a bigger place. With Pangoro being so much bigger now it makes her current, tiny home feel kind of cramped. I dunno if jumping from "friends and vague crush" to "ROOMMATES" is the direction you want to go, but even if it isn't, Chie considering that would probably be interesting...

Yeah, I'll have to talk to sheepy and find out what kinds of things Lux might have said about him. Cardinal sin in Lenna's book is being selfish and callous, so if it's anything like that, she might not have that great a view of him either.

I'm all for that plan with Chie and Morgiana. It would make it easier to awkward stuff up for a while before she gets herself together enough to make a rabu-rabu confession at her. Also for easy excuses for them to spend a lot of time around each other.
