fhplotterywheel | 20 Year Reunion Brainstorming!

Character Name: Hernando
Age at the Reunion: 40-ish
Backstory I've Worked Out So Far: Hernando and Sparkle are happily married and have several adopted children.
How Your Character Can Fit In: They're just gooey and domestic at each other like always. I'm not real sure what you mean by how he'd fit in?

Character Name: Delirium
Age at the Reunion: Exact same age she appears to be now because she doesn't really change.
Backstory I've Worked Out So Far: She's going to be there. She's going to look exactly the same. She's going to be very confused.
How Your Character Can Fit In: Some people might be surprised that she doesn't age.

Character Name: Vette
Age at the Reunion: She'd be about 35, if, you know...
Backstory I've Worked Out So Far: Going back home wasn't kind to Vette. There was that brief stint of imprisonment, more notable than all the other ones because it left her in service to a Sith who eventually served as the Emperor's Wrath. She spent a few years running around with a Devaronian con man after the Sith disappeared, and then the Galaxy kind of went to hell and she got involved in an uprising against an invading force and... kind of didn't make it. It was an ugly way to go, sudden and cruel and ultimately senseless. So, for this reunion, Vette's going to just poof out of existence and poof back again when it's over!
How Your Character Can Fit In: If you're likely to have kept in touch with Vette up until that happened-- it would've gone down about ten years before the reunion. Plenty of time for that ache to have dulled, if you're of a mind to care about that. Feel free to poke me to noodle what kind of relationship your character might have had before she went, though!

Character Name: Sparkle
Age at the Reunion: 42
Backstory I've Worked Out So Far: Eventually Sparkle had to grow into a Sparkle who had his shit together, right? This Sparkle is that Sparkle-- the Sparkle who decided to clean up his act, who went back to face the music in Toronto and who sorted out his legal issues, who grew up, started a career (if you want custom clothes suited for any gender presentation or body type, hit him up), married Hernando (they're still disgusting), adopted roughly ten million kids, and who happily bops around the multiverse to visit friends and just kind of be a happy, healthy Sparkle with few regrets.
How Your Character Can Fit In: Do you figure you've been a part of his life through all that? Hit me up. :D

Character Name: Atton Rand
Age at the Reunion: ?? [55, if he was around]
Backstory I've Worked Out So Far: Time wasn't good to the Lost Jedi, and whittled them down one by one. When Mical finally went, Atton became the last little bit of the way unmoored, and finally gave in, chasing after the Exile into the Unknown Regions.

He hasn't been seen in seven years. Give or take. Sia's the last one who saw him. Their departure was... complicated. Seven-years-old-and-has-the-best-tutors complicated.
How Your Character Can Fit In: Ask Sia! Atton hasn't been around in years, and no one knows if he's alive or dead.

Character Name: Liam Kincaid (Price)
Age at the Reunion: 26 (but looks at most few years older than his present-day self; alien DNA is weird)
Backstory I've Worked Out So Far: Liam and Verity have had an extremely eventful twenty years. The first few, in a good way: got married, adopted a kid, had a couple more kids... and then the Covenant made its way to North America in a big way and things really went all to hell.

They dropped off the map as far as Fandom's concerned completely for a couple years (around the time their third child was born) before resurfacing a few years later... still with three kids, none of whom are a toddler. Weird. They don’t really talk about what went down during that time.

These days they're more or less on the run, and have in fact been separated for several weeks at this point; Verity’s been busy laying a false trail for the Covenant, while Liam’s taking the kids (all young adults/teenagers by now) to spend the summer somewhere relatively safe. That accomplished, the plan was to meet up in Fandom and lie low for a few days (while enjoying the party they’d conveniently been invited to attend) before heading back home.

How Your Character Can Fit In: Liam would've kept in touch with/visited friends pretty regularly for those first few years, and then there would have been a period of a two or three years where no one would have heard anything at all from either him or Verity. Until one day emails just started popping up again out of nowhere. Ever since then, communication would've been much more sporadic, with silences sometimes stretching on for weeks or even months. And then suddenly an email, or a phone call... perhaps even a gaggle of Prices showing up on your character's doorstep (please shoot me & Nu a line if you'd like this to have happened) out of nowhere, needing a place to lie low for a bit.

Leading up to the reunion specifically, Liam would’ve been out of contact for about a month, which is on the longer side but also not unheard of.

Character Name: Dr. Paris Geller
Age at the Reunion: 38
Backstory I've Worked Out So Far: Paris is now a doctor specializing in fertility issues and a divorced mom of two (because her husband, Danny Strong, got a big head after becoming a famous Hollywood writer, hilariously played, Gilmore Girls.) She mostly lost track of all of you people because she kept getting intervention talks about drugs when she'd mention talking squirrels.

She's back because she's super lonely but she isn't telling ANY of you that.
How Your Character Can Fit In: Oh, talk to her! She'll spin you some kind of tale about her legitimate successes and probably drop in a mean word or six about her ex-husband.

Character Name: Miguel O'Hara
Age at the Reunion: Mid-to-late 40s, but doesn't look any older than he currently does. (Healing factors are fun.)
Backstory I've Worked Out So Far: Miguel's been hanging out in Fandom when he's not with the Exiles. He's a senior member of the teams now, but not much else has changed.
How Your Character Can Fit In: If they've been in touch with Fandom, they know Miguel. If you want them to have been friends, they can be. If they want to have joined the Exiles, there's always room for more!

Character Name: Steve Rogers
Age at the Reunion: hella old
Backstory I've Worked Out So Far: ENDGAME SPOILERS ALL UP IN HERE. DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT.

So FH!Steve goes through the Civil War movie at some undisclosed period in the future, leading to a massive falling out with his universe's Tony and a hugely ugly break-up with FH!Tony. He bailed on the island, went through the rest of the movies including the Endgame ending and is now back to be yelled at.

Because honestly.

How Your Character Can Fit In: Steve dropped most contacts after he broke up with Tony, let's say five years from now, so he's been off most people's radar for about 15 years. He still shouldn't look 90 but MCU canon, SO. If you're Bucky, you know the whole sordid ridiculousness -- everyone else got very short "I'm fine!" texts with a whooooole lot left out.

Character Name: Beaker
Age at the Reunion: God, who even can tell. He looks exactly the same.
Backstory I've Worked Out So Far: Beaker has left Fandom, went off to intern for Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and got blown up, monster-ized, set on fire, covered in foam, etc., etc., etc., etc. for years. He's now back at Fandom teaching chemistry. Fear for these hypothetical students.
How Your Character Can Fit In: He'll happily meep at anyone :)

Occasional put-upon teaching buddy who tries to minimize the explosions?

Of course! Poor Miguel.

Eh, at this point he's used to it. XD

Character Name: Peter Octavian
Age at the Reunion: Still over 1K
Backstory I've Worked Out So Far: He went through canon a while ago and came out of it a bit more somber and a lot more human. He...still doesn't seem to be aging. He's been back and forth to Fandom; he spends time here when he needs to get away from his family and responsibilities back home.
How Your Character Can Fit In: He's been more or less in touch with people, with occasional bouts of silence for a while. If you're a Fandom regular and a friend, he's probably kept in contact.

Character Name: Dante Sparda
Age at the Reunion: 40. Doesn't look a day over 20 once you shave off the month's worth of facial hair.
Backstory I've Worked Out So Far: Anders left and got stuck in Thedas years ago. Ever since, Dante and Kathy have been trying to make their life in Limbo City work.

A few weeks before the reunion, SOME ASSHOLE showed up and grew a massive blood-sucking tree in the middle of Red Grave City, and clobbered Dante so hard he wound up disappearing on everyone. He's fine, the asshole was just taking a catnap in the middle of nowhere to recover from his wounds.

And then he wakes up and he's on the island. Oops?
How Your Character Can Fit In: Dante's been around and in operation - if not aging - for twenty years, as a demon hunter in Limbo City, bar the month or so he's been missing. So...

Character Name: Kanan Jarrus
Age at the Reunion: Nope, sorry.
Backstory I've Worked Out So Far: Yeah, Kanan went through his canon, which, for those in the know, means that he spent about the last year and a half to two years of his life blind, and then died a martyr for the cause. By the time of the reunion, he's been gone about a decade. So there won't be any Kanan at the reunion. There might be a giant wolf in the preserve just chillin' out with dinosaurs, but, you know, that's not exactly Kanan. Probably. The Force is weird.
How Your Character Can Fit In: If you figure you got involved in the rebellion, you'd definitely know Kanan is long gone. You probably wouldn't know about the giant wolf thing, unless you figure you also chatted with Ezra (his Padawan, not the fox) about some weird Force-visions he had after Kanan's death. But if you really really really want to, we can figure something out, just nudge me.

Edited 2019-05-13 13:11 (UTC)

Character Name: Jack
Age at the Reunion: Won't be there, see post above.
Backstory I've Worked Out So Far: Kanan's (or Kaidan's) death would be an unsurvivable wound. Jack would either have gone out before them or she'd have gone after whatever took them out. Prior to that, she'd have been a teacher both on Fandom and at Grissom. I decided when this was announced that if either of her on-island do-gooders went dead, she would follow.
How Your Character Can Fit In: If you would've known Jack right up to the point where she became dust on the solar wind, feel free to reminisce or make up wild stories about the shit she got up to in your timeline. Or feel free to ping me and work out some stuff they got up to in the meanwhile.

Character Name: Marasiah Fel
Age at the Reunion: 42
Backstory I've Worked Out So Far: Sia's still Empressing, stick as the last remaining member of the original Triumvirate because that's the Imperial monarchy for you. Jessica's returned to her recreated home, so Sia's more or less on her own now, aside from being a single mom to a seven-year-old, this accidentally perpetuating the cycle. Oops.
How Your Character Can Fit In: Aside from Jessica, Sia probably hasn't talked to anyone except the occasional update to family. She sucked at keeping in touch before, and she especially does now. She definitely tried to get in touch with Atton and probably left contact info with Sparkle.

Character Name: Sabine Wren
Age at the Reunion: Thirties!
Backstory I've Worked Out So Far: Sabine joined up with Kanan and Hera and the rest of the Ghost crew and got her found family, became a symbol-creating Rebel and propagandist, and eventually dragged her space brother Ezra back from wherever he is. The fighting's over, Kanan's been gone for years, and Sabine's trying to figure out where she's needed most now. She's still hopping around the Galaxy, whether it's adventuring with Ezra somewhere or helping Hera out.
How Your Character Can Fit In: If you're Hera, you hear from/see her all the time. Otherwise, if you're the type to initiate the conversation Sabine probably kept in touch with you pretty well (she's been busy), even if she hasn't been physically back to Fandom much.

Character Name: Hera Syndulla
Age at the Reunion: Early 40s
Backstory I've Worked Out So Far: Hera split time between Fandom and home, gradually trending more toward home as the rebellion picked up. Then Kanan died and she had a small child and a Generalship and...she hasn't really been back much. There's a lot to do back home, even after the Empire falls.
How Your Character Can Fit In: She's kept in touch with Sabine and anyone else who wants to, but she won't have been back much.

Character Name: Owen Corley
Age at the Reunion: 36
Backstory I've Worked Out So Far: Owen went home after senior year. It took him five years to finagle a way to contact Fandom, and he was more or less decent about staying in contact for about four years.

Then he disappeared from the grid.

He'll be coming into Fandom a lot more bitter than the last time anyone saw him, with scars on his face and eyes an unseeing milky white.
How Your Character Can Fit In: Did they stay in contact while they could? Who knows! Everything's open. He's new.

Character Name: Ben Skywalker-Wiggin
Age at the Reunion: Age is but a number!
Backstory I've Worked Out So Far: Ben and Ender are Sirs Not Appearing at This Reunion due to landing on a planet with a wee...tiny...virus that infects you, rewrites your genetic code, is impossible to get rid of, and would kill everyone and everything if they leave the planet.

(WTF, Orson Scott Card. WTF.)

How Your Character Can Fit In: Ben and Ender are still in touch with relatives and close friends, of course, but haven't been seen physically in years.

Character Name: Hannibal Lecter
Age at the Reunion: 70ish, not that he looks it.
Backstory I've Worked Out So Far: As at the last one, Hannibal went vampire so as not to die and leave Jono alone. Of course, about a year ago, Jono died sacrificing himself for the greater good. He just came back recently, because X-Men. They're going through a bit of a rough patch, because Hannibal was Not Happy.
How Your Character Can Fit In: Hannibal and Jono have split time between Fandom and New York over the years; Hannibal's been having to spend more time back in New York lately to compensate for a lack of Jono, but he's still kept in touch with his friends and taught from time to time. If you've been on Fandom, you've seen them around; if you'd keep in touch, you've been kept in touch with!

Character Name: Lana Beniko
Age at the Reunion: 36 (and she actually ages!)
Backstory I've Worked Out So Far: Lana returned home after Fandom, was stationed a few places, had canon happen, and is currently in the middle of organizing a alliance between various factions in order to fight a bigger, more evil Empire.
How Your Character Can Fit In: Lana has been pretty scarce for years at a time - she's kept in touch with friends, and dropped by when things are slow, but war hasn't left a lot of time for that, except when she's needed to hide out for a while. If you want to have kept in touch, let me know!

Character Name: Kitty Pryde-Barton
Age at the Reunion: 46
Backstory I've Worked Out So Far: Kitty's been mostly working with the X-Men for a while, teaching and headmistressing and leading the team when events call for it. She doesn't let go out as much these days but is still very active in it. She and Clint have a second kid, Nathaniel, who's still pretty young (oops), whereas Lexi is now 20 and doing her own X-Man thing. Why does that make me feel old.
How Your Character Can Fit In: Kitty absolutely visited and kept in touch with people when she couldn't be there in person. If you needed her help with something she'd have shown up and might've asked for yours sometime in the last 20 years.

Character Name: Isabelle Lightwood
Age at the Reunion: 40+

Backstory I've Worked Out So Far: Izzy is married to her high school sweetheart and has been the head of the New York Institute for many, many years now. She also teaches about one class a year in Fandom, usually about fighting and/or having confidence.

How Your Character Can Fit In: Over the past decade or so, Isabelle would've made something of an effort to make connections with fellow monster-hunting types among Fandomites, to share knowledge and generally create a very informal multiversal network of ~~supernatural police~~ people actively working against monstrous forces. So if you're one of those, you may very well know her!
