My thoughts mainly concern Tuckyr's relationship with SALT and how it changes before and after FoB. This is partly inspired by my real life absences from the RP and any potential plots that could have come from it if I had stayed consistent, but Tuckyr never really melded with the rest of the team. He was there physically, of course, for classes and assignments and training, but any relationship between any of the other three was treated more like a faint acquaintance or a forced group project with strangers. He was a jerk, he never really took the time to try and cultivate much of a repertoire with anyone, even with his own partner.

If given enough time at Beacon, that may have changed gradually, with his stance towards his team becoming softer and his motivations more recognizably altruistic, but that chance never comes. Instead, FoB is a karmic wake-up call to his reality: He's not going to amount to much in the grand scheme of things with the way he is. All his bluster and pride were wasted on useless sentiments and actions. He really spirals deep into depression in the sobering aftermath of the attack, and he finds it hard to see anyone around that he can turn to. So he leaves.

However, since this IS Tuckyr Gainsboro, he decides to do something a little reckless as he struggles to find a new path for himself. He begins to run after fairy tales and legends, all sorts of spoken myths and rumors, trying to find one that holds some kernel of truth. He wants to be part of something larger than himself again, as he sees himself as never really being a Hunter, not the way he acted and treated people. He wants to feel proud of himself again, be able smile and wink flirtatiously at his reflection when he passes it instead of frowning in distaste.

As for Raise, since I've yet to work on her in full. I don't really have much of a plan for her. I have a couple scenarios in mind, but I think it'd be more wise to wait until I flesh her out before acting on any of them.
