PAST LIFE PLOTTING MEME: 01
Welcome to the very first PAST LIFE PLOTTING MEME! As many have discovered by now, player characters are reincarnated versions of themselves, with their previous lives having been settlers living in none other than Aldric's Grove. Though something went very wrong... and at the end of their lives in the Grove, a massacre timed with a desperate ritual to save them cast everyone's souls from the world, reborn eventually into their current canon lives. Time within the Grove was long enough for both the Grove to become a full-fledged town within the woods, and for characters to reach young adulthood, if they started out as little kids.
This meme is dedicated to establishing some things about the past life you lead! But there are some stipulations.
Please fill out the following, and then tag around! It's a shared history after all!
NAME: who are you!
ROLE: what did you do in this slowly-growing town? were you a teacher? a cook? just a kid?
HISTORY: no need to go super in-depth right now, we're just hashing the beginnings out!
DEATH: so how do you think you died in the final massacre? :)
This meme is dedicated to establishing some things about the past life you lead! But there are some stipulations.
- Although magic exists within the world of Sticks and Bones, all past iterations of player characters were human.
- Your past life should not be a one to one copy of your current life! If anything, the au life may even be better, honestly? We are the bad ends now. But mostly, this is to allow both past life cr growth, exploration in charcter and backstory, and unique opportunities for later revelations!
- Though currently unapped major castmates may show up in the backstory, if they do ever get apped you are to let them have control of their character's past! Of course, it's great if you can build something together, though.
- The current highest level of technology is lightbulbs, basic electricity and indoor plumbing. The electricity might be magic-based however.
- Aldric (founder and leader of the original expedition, a kind merchant who sought to expand trade across the continent to allow the flow of high quality goods and medicines to reach more towns. Father of three, 'mayor' of a sort, and probably unofficially adopted half the grove.)
- Olivia (Aldric's sister, co-founder, and probably the most willing to get aggressive of the three- but only when necessary. Otherwise she's commemorated as jolly, gentle and vibrant.)
- Renard (Aldric's closest friend, co-founder, and a man for the finer things in life. Despite this, he's no less unwilling to get his hands dirty with hard work.)
- Grace (The original and main town doctor, mother of two.)
- Nene (Grace's adopted daughter, a gardener, the first to be corrupted and the future demise of the town, much to her dismay.)

AddEdward Grenore (Add might still be a nickname, someone else make up a reason how that happened because the canon excuse is ?????)ROLE: gestures at Grace on the known-NPC list........ Edward is the eldest son of the town doctor, extremely proud of his mom & her work and training to be a doctor himself!! He's still a bit prickly and shy but the lack of several key traumatizing events in his childhood means he is WAY more well-adjusted and sane, though he still takes personal offense to any other doctors/healers trying to "threaten"(???) his mom's very important job.
HISTORY: Grace came to the Grove with her son to get away from her shitty abusive ex-husband. Sometime after settling in as the town doctor she would also end up adopting Nene. Edward would've been extremely shy and anxious as a kid, clinging to mom, overprotective of mom, initially VERY wary of Nene......... but hey so it turns out growing up in a healthy environment is good, actually?? So by the time he's in his teens he would've been way more relaxed/comfortable around people, still very protective of his mom but far more willing to talk to others and maybe even?? make friends???? he is also overprotective of Nene... she is his #1 fan and that means the world to him, anyone who bullies his little sister gets laxatives slipped into their food get fucking wrecked
NOTABLY he wouldn't have his funky face tats in any photos and sticks!Edward didn't have an interest in robotics. His dad was probably still an engineer and forced him to learn all that shit but like. canonically, as a kid Add hated his dad's lessons and only ended up liking robots because he had an entire library of Cool Robot Facts injected into his brain... so, in sticks AU he stuck to medicine and botany (just like mom!!!!!) and retained a general interest in the other sciences, had a disdain for engineering in early childhood that he eventually grew out of and before he died he was neutral towards it.
also his shitty dad tried to get into the Grove at least once and got his ass beat by Aldric, this is canon lore.
DEATH: looks directly at amity :) i think Nene should have the honours so u tell me!
Specific gory details aside, he probably died trying to get to Nene while she was burning everything down... and if anyone tried to stop her by force, he would've gotten in the way to protect her. mom probably died first because i'm mean and want to set her on fire. Edward would've been 19 to keep him lined up with Elsword.
