Description This is a little outdated but it's the best I got right now.

Mae O'Brian

Purpose: Important Supporting Character

Theme Song: Stupid Cupid by Connie Francis

Birthday: April 5th 1927pa (post apocalypse)

Height: 5’6”

Alignment: Lawful Good

MBPT: Introvert Sensor Feeler Judger

3 Base Adjectives: Caring, Meticulous, Classy

Weakness: She’s a workaholic who way overextends herself.

Strength: She is strong in her convictions and sticks to them no matter what. She is also pretty good with money and book keeping.

1 Sentence Summary: Mae O’Brian is co-owner of a flower and fashion shop.

Story Summary: Mae O’Brian co-owns Daisy Mae Flowers and Fashions with her grandmother Daisy Mae O’Brian who is pretty ancient and senile so Mae does most of the work. It was originally just a flower shop but Mae’s goal was always to be a designer/tailor so she started adding fashions to it when her parents died 3 years ago and she had to take over running things. Flowers remain the main income of the shop and the fashions are sort of a side project when she has time to spare. With the death of her parents, Mae was also made guardian of her 2 younger siblings and caretaker of her grandmother who all cause her a good deal of worry and stress.

Personality Summary: Mae is a busy bee who’s always trying to do everything. Despite running the shop and taking care of her grandmother and little sister, she still tries to find time to volunteer at church and community functions. She has a good heart and tries to be neighborly to all. She worries a lot and has a lot to worry about. She is, at her core, a lady and she lives and acts according to the standards of polite society making her polite to a fault and very conscience of her appearances. Family is very important to her. While she likes flowers all well and good, she’d much rather be a designer and the only reason she hasn’t fully converted the shop into a fashion studio is because of the sentimentality her family has attached to it. All of this leaves her feeling stuck and divided.

Setting Summary: Mae O’Brian lives in New Opulence City on the waterfront in a futuristic 1950’s inspired setting. To be brief, about 200 years in the future aliens crashed on earth causing an apocalypse that set mankind back about 2000 year. 1955 years later (pa or post apocalypse) we are back in the 1950’s except there are aliens and lots of other key political/social differences that I’m not going to go into right now. New Opulence City is the center of intergalactic travel and trade as well as intercontinental transportation so it’s a highly trafficked and important city.

Her undergarments are very pretty! Did she design them herself? 

Also now that I have more info on your setting, that's fascinating! Very interesting that society kind of retraced it's steps, all the way back to the 1950s. Was all the information about how life used to be lost? So now they just happen to be doing the same stuff? Or is it more of a "we have information about what life used to be like so we're going to mimic it" it's just a very interesting world building piece.

Yep, she designs just about everything she wears.

I actually don't really know They didn't retrace their exact steps, I think they were in a steampunk type renaissance age for a while before progressing to the industrial age and then onto the 1950s styled time, which they've actually been stuck in for several decades. I'd say archeological digs probably turned up some artifacts that have definitely influenced their lives in that direction (kind of like how the Egyptian digs influenced the 1920's)

The setting of her story is something I would never see it coming, wow! But it's an incredible idea!

Mae is such a hardworking person, she totally deserves a little break (though im not sure she would appreciate it herself, being a workaholic and all xD)


(also i saw that pun, even if not intended, calling her a "busy bee" lol yellow sure fits her appearance and personality very much  )

Mae is a really intriguing character in an interesting setting. I especially like the idea of her rather personal struggle, caring for her siblings and grandmother and the decision between fashion and flowers, in an utterly other-worldly setting. I do wonder how the sci-fi setting will influence her approach to solving her personal problems or if they will get overshadowed by a much bigger problem.

Thanks! Her own personal struggle isn't at the center of the story, though it will probably be addressed slowly throughout the story. How it all plays out, even I don't know yet

I am very intrigued by the setting It's interesting how the humanity took exactly the same route, taking the same amount of time to reach the culture of 20th century 50s. So the technology is much more advanced due to alien technology influence? Will aliens feature in Mae's round? What are they like? Is Mae friends with any of them?
She's really lovely, her underwear looks so fancy

All-is-Nonsense In reply to SpaceCastaway [2019-03-25 17:40:00 +0000 UTC]

Thank you They didn't take the same rout or time in each era to get to where they are now though (for the sake of being brief) my description does make it seem that way (I should probably figure out a better summery eventually)  The history of this 1950's is very different from our own and each country developed and changed at a different pace. After the whole apocalypse thing blew over, I'd say most of humanity found itself stuck in a colonial/Renaissance steampunk type era for a while until the aliens were able to get a bit of peace and fix up the intergalactic portal (it was damaged in the initial crash) which sent the world into a revolutionary 1950ish age and it's been sort of stuck in this 1950ish age for quite some time. Technology is more advanced in some ways and less advanced in others (I don't think they've really figured out the internet yet) and different countries and planets are advanced in different ways ("Russia's" genetic engineering vs "America's" alien robotics engineering) and aren't often inclined to share. There will be aliens featured in Mae's future tasks I'm pretty sure Peter (a 14 year old alien boy who works for Mae's neighbor Lee Anderson) will probably appear in her favorite food task and Timothy Tsuji (a half alien police officer with mysterious origins) will be in her fear and anger tasks. She's friendly towards most everyone but she's not particularly friends with any aliens as of yet.

Oh, I get it It's tricky with this kind of thought experiments, with this much time to cover and history to make up it's a challenge to write a concise and clear summary that won't omit anything crucial. It really does sound interesting so far, though
Can't wait to see the aliens and how well they get along with humans. Mae definitely sounds like someone who wouldn't be xenophobic, if that's an issue in their world.

All-is-Nonsense In reply to SpaceCastaway [2019-03-31 01:35:43 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, the story is supposed to have a lighthearted and possibly comedic raypunk and atompunk feel to, it if that helps describe the tech. I think xenophobia towards aliens is definitely an issue in many countries but, while still present, New Opulence is alien central so the prejudiced and segregation is less of an issue there.

She is classy! Gosh, I love the old style of undergarments, they're so pretty. Mae herself is gorgeous, and she sounds like a very strong and resilient character. I also love this world you've created, it'll be interesting to see how the Alien society is integrated into the 1950s society that we know.

Thank you! Resilient is definitely a good word for her . It will be interesting to see how the two societies intersect for me as well 'cause I'm not quite sure how I'm gonna make everything works yet (It's a work in progress).
