The Relation-By-Reincarnation Meme

[scramasax]

Hello, current Earthlings and potential appers alike!

How'd it be if your deadbeat father, school-age daughter, or ex-lover turned up on the network?

Come on in and use this meme to list notable friends, relatives, acquaintances, etc. of your characters or characters who you plan on bringing in who are available to turn out to be fellow reincarnates! Give basic necessary descriptions and information of the people in question (so, say, your character from a strict household doesn't wind up getting a mother who is by nature as impossibly laid-back as they come!) and plan as you like with others!

Jack's wife is already fairly well defined (works in film, loves arty/indy movies, Jack married her because of a pregnancy whoopsie and now has a 9-year-old) but if anyone might be up for THAT terrible relationship ping me. His son's kinda young, so that's probably off the table.

BUT Jack also has relatives in the Locke City area. Who are basically all shitlords and refused to deal with a moody, violent kid after his parents died. He also has a pretty long military career, so ANY MILITARY TYPES, let's CR!

SO. I'm still putting together the AU history for the character I'm apping, but I'm thinking of putting her in military academy. Would that be enough to work off of?

Ehehe, in which sense of the phrase? If she's in the same age range as Jack and it was the highschool equivalence type, absolutely, let's do it! If the other kind... well, Jack never went on to be an officer. He did have a bunch of advanced training though, so maybe there would have been some potential interaction around the base or something too? Just throwing a few more ideas out there!

Erk, need to do more research! I was looking at the academy in West Point, New York (just as reference).

My character's pretty young, so them meeting on base or something would probably make more sense!

Haha, no I feel you on the research. The amount of time I spent getting lost in the military-related pages of wikipedia was unreal, and I'm still paranoid about making some kind of dumb mistake.

Jack was likely back at the base a couple of years ago on leave... and about a year ago he would have been around during his arm-related rehab, too. Even within the past year or so we could probably do something, since I figure Jack kept visiting the base now and then to catch up with buddies.
