So I've got a plot idea brimming, but I need help fostering it. I'll start with a little background information.
My character Aerynn is an aegyl from FFXII: Revenant Wings, and the main idea behind aegyls is that part of their soul was stolen by Feolthanos, the end boss of the game. After the game completes, supposedly their souls are returned to them, but in my own head canon I don't make it so easy that everyone is immediately happy. Aerynn has trouble recognizing these emotions and accessing them. I kind of treat them like level ups. But that's beside the point.
She left the world of Ivalice in search of the missing pieces of her emotions. Surprise, surprise, she can't find them.
What I am looking for is someone who has a good knowledge of nobodies that can feed her information that leads her to suspect she herself is a nobody. This could be anyone. A former nobody, a current nobody, or just someone who has interacted with one or is well-versed in their lore. I have spoken to a few of you about this, but I would like to extend this to as many hands as I can. I think just suddenly encountering a nobody is too easy. We should take baby steps to lead her to this decision.
If anyone's character knows about nobodies, I'd like to plot with you. We can make it happenstance, but in the end I'd like Aerynn to have names so that she can hunt these people down. Zidane, I think we were gonna try to breach the topic of conversation in our After Raid Party thread, but if the conversation doesn't turn that way, I'd like to see who else might be willing.
After this, I'd like a thread with someone who used to be or is currently a nobody. They can answer more of Aerynn's questions, but by the end of the thread we can see what decision Aerynn comes to about herself. Xion might be really good for this, as I've seen the way she rps in the cbox and I think she would be a really good person to bounce off of. I know Naminé wanted to thread, and I've seen Axel buzzing about, too. If anyone else has an idea or would like to offer up their character, I'm totally game for it.
Right now, Aerynn's history designates that she already knows about nobodies and is searching for more information about them. I'm considering retconning this so that she knows little to nothing about nobodies. Only that they are white heartless-like creatures she's come in contact with but nothing more about that. I imagine the initial conversation would work best if Aerynn is called out for being bland and boring, like a nobody. If anyone is brazen enough to stir this pot upon their initial interaction with her, I'm totally for it.
This is just the first stage. I have more stages after this, but I don't think I need to go any further than what I've got right now.
To summarize, what I would like is:
If anyone is up for this or has ideas, please let me know. The second stage involves keyblades, so if we can throw that in the mix, that'd be awesome too, hee.
*Edit- I hear Lightning would be a good candidate for stage 1 of this plot. Any others?

To summarize, what I would like is:
- Someone to call Aerynn out for acting like a nobody.
- Aerynn getting basic information about nobodies, that is, emotionless beings who are the shell created after a heart falls to darkness (this is important!!).
- Aerynn getting names of nobodies or former nobodies.
- A final thread with a nobody or former nobody, hopefully with a conversation that leads Aerynn to believe she herself is a nobody.
If anyone is up for this or has ideas, please let me know. The second stage involves keyblades, so if we can throw that in the mix, that'd be awesome too, hee.
