PLAYER: Glazed
CHARACTER: Yondu Udonta
CANON: Guardians of the Galaxy

AU NAME: János "Yondu" Dusza
AU AGE: 50
AU OCCUPATION: President of the Ravagers Motorcycle Club
BLURB:
-Was a Hungarian refugee that immigrated to the US as a child.
-Has a lot of rumors about things he's done. He doesn't contest a lot of them because he likes the reputation.
-He's gotten out of a lot of suspected criminal charges by the skin of his teeth. Pinning things on him has been ridiculously difficult.
-Most of his actual crimes has been stealing and smuggling. Though there's this supposed story about what he did to one of the clubhouses that betrayed him...
-Lives at the Ravagers clubhouse, Recolle Chapter.
-Wandered into Recolle all by his lonesome fairly recently and has been laying suspiciously low.

LOOKING FOR:
-Cops to be suspicious of him.
-People with things he might eventually want to steal. This can include tiny trinkets he attaches to his motorcycle.
-People he could intimidate.
-People he could be strangely protective of.

ALL OF THIS considered with the understanding he might end up in jail at some point unless he can keep miraculously playing the system.

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: This is very iffy, but I wanted to throw out feelers.

Can I just say GOD PLEASE? I would love to see Yondu in game and I think we need more characters like him. Also Yosuke could be easily intimidated although I don't know what that would do for him. I JUST ENCOURAGE THIS APP.

Poor guy just being randomly intimidated by this angry southern biker giving him "get the hell out of my way" eyes.

I love Yondu but finding a place for him is always super hard. And maintaining his Yonduness.

Who wouldn't be intimidated, lbr. I could see Yosuke being like "wow that guy looks super cool" at a distance and then running into him in person on his dumb bicycle and feeling like the biggest tool.

That's understandable! You can definitely come up with some interesting backgrounds and ways to fit him in this game. There's a rising interesting in sort of criminal and/or less than fully legal activity going on too. So he could be coming in at a time where he can find a good niche!

My other character, Fynn, is a Recolle PD cop. Maybe he could start hunting this bad ass down? Idek! I'm tossing ideas at you, so toss them back at me.

I figure he wouldn't be too hard to find at first but there would be a lot of those pesky. "I ain't done nothin'." and "I got cleared of them charges, boy. So it's best you set your sights elsewhere." and maybe even a, "So is that what they're sayin' about me, huh?" Until he actually did something questionable.

I love you for potentially bringing this one in, and the AU sounds amusing. I'll admit that there's not a lot of likelihood the two would have run into each other beforehand, but bad influences in the future are a thing.

Yeah, see, that's my big hold up right now. I know from playing The Lost and the Damned that Bikers on social media can be a useful game mechanic but still, there's not a lot of excuses for him to interact with people.

At least not in a 'pre-set' sort of way. He's the sort of character that draws interest once he gets dropped into the bucket, so to speak. Sometimes, that's not such a bad thing. I tend to think of someone like him as good for drawing quick, unexpected interest.

The main issue for why these two wouldn't have met is that it's Chloe's canon that's got her on the wrong side of the law. Her AU is clean as a whistle, other than underage drinking really. She's only been breaking laws much more recently, and keeping it pretty much petty and "Against Retrospec."

Either way, I hope to see him sometime soon. It's a solid AU skeleton you've got here, and I've gotten to really like the character.

Seconds the encouragement...!

But also I am laughing because Tony's NPC Pepper stand-in was killed as a bystander in biker gang violence ~20 years ago. So. HE IS MAYBE NOT SO COOL WITH BIKER GANGS but naturally likes to pretend nothing gets to him so fine drink in the same bar as him B(((. If you want someone with things to steal though Tony is a novelist with multi-media IPs and Swarovski crystal doorstoppers in his penthouse ~~probably idk I keep joking about it~~. So he's got tons of nice stuff!

Other ideas uh idk he's a hit writer who writes grocery store novel trash/James Patterson-esque stuff so maybe he talked to Yondu a lot at a bar and based a character off him??? Before he made it big he took any writing job he could get so there's also the possibility he interviewed Yondu a few times for an article on biker gangs.

And then there's the copious amount of times Tony is super drunk in bars and talks smack to people and bar fights break out IDEK but hi laughs

Poor Pepper D:

He'd get so mad if he found out that a bad book character were written about him. If Tony ever met him he probably would have been playing up the tough guy act. Except he's legitimately good at the tough guy act in that he has something to back it up.

But also if he caught him on a good day he would have gotten a lot of great stories about biker babes and honor among brothers and stuff.

I'm still thinking hard on it.

Well I mean when you marry Handsome Jack... Just don't marry Handsome Jack laughs.

BUT ANYWAY HMMM if you are cool with it I think we can say they met in a bar...or bars...places. And Tony has a book series where the protag is based on Yondu. Some unscrupulous type who winds up in noir-esque stories except he's just a thug who can't walk into a bar without running into a murder mystery his name is somehow attached to and he has to weasel out of while discovering ~the truth~. OR SOMETHING. We can say it's got a cult following and Tony sasses Yondu every time they drink at the same bar and Yondu takes his watch/cufflinks/idk designer sunglasses. Ngl I think it'd be hilarious if they had a tradition of playing darts or something and every time Tony lost he'd have to hand over an accessory/his wallet/his ridiculously expensive shoes/etc laughs.

If this is no good though I can def think of something else all good!
