PAST LIFE PLOTTING MEME: 01

[sticksandbonesmods]

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.

• 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.

Major NPCs who can be referenced, but probably aren't the focus here:

• 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.)

There's also been some elaboration here and here if you'd like to reference anything!

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? :)

NAME:

Ken Kaneki

ROLE:

A cook! Kaneki once upon a time was a surprisingly good cook, able to make delicious dishes out of very little. Even though he was very young, Kaneki was always very hard-working and diligent. He also had extensive knowledge on books and literature but that was for fun.

HISTORY:

Born into the family of a librarian/teacher (his mother) and a fisherman (his father), Kaneki learned a lot from both of them. They were loving, and kind and taught Kaneki the same kindness. They were genuinely happy. He may have had a sibling - either adopted, blood-related, or just someone he took care of - but for now, he won't remember WINKWINK who wants to be his sibling

Kaneki's love for cooking meant he'd often make meals to share with his neighbours, while he listened to their stories and kept them in his memory - perhaps later on to write a book on his own. He loved reading, too, which made him knowledgeable.

He wasn't shy. Kaneki always tried to help others and would often do so by offering some food or a book for them to read.

DEATH:

He sacrificed himself, trying to save his mother during Nene's fire. Both of them ended up dying AND THAT'S IT I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE

Plotting

I'm obsessed with organization so - please comment here if you'd like to share history with kaneki (I will edit the above thread as we plot out things and set things in stone, this way it's all in one place!).
