Potential CR Planning/ATP: June 2015

Potential CR Planning

Are you thinking about joining the game? Then you've found the right place! This post is for all prospective players to discuss their characters' AU backgrounds with canonmates and other characters, and to establish pre-existing CR (character relations). The aim is to help you figure out what to write in the background section of your application and to give you a starting point for building CR when you join the game.

You can use this post to:

• Share your ideas on how you'd like to adapt your character's background to the game.
• Ask questions and request feedback on your AU plans.
• Discuss potential shared history with canonmates and build in cross-canon CR.

Please note that nothing discussed here is guaranteed, since not all prospective players will submit an app or be accepted into the game, while others will app without having commented to this post. After the next round of applications have been processed, there will be a follow-up CR planning post for accepted players to confirm initial plans, make changes, and look for new CR.

This post is intended to be an open discussion between current and prospective players, but I'm happy to answer any mod questions you might have too. Happy planning!

For current players
Are there any characters that you'd love to see in the game? Post your requests here! I'll add them to the ATP advert, and who knows, they might inspire someone...

So, I would love for Mab to know Violet, also being Unseelie and now involved heavily in court. She does not have a full retinue it would be nice to have someone to deliver messages for her when necessary. And Mab would be interested in the child of any seer. And in the seer parent as well. I don't imagine Mab is all that comfortable to speak with for someone really friendly but she might be someone that Mab has shown an interest in taking under wing. I imagine her mother has warned her off of Mab.

Maera would certainly be willing to help out a lady in her Court! However, almost nobody knows that she can actually see the future. Her mother's had her keep it a secret because she's worried that if people know about Maera's ability, they'll want to take advantage of her. Which... is fair.

But Maera will totally be Mab's messenger whenever she needs it!

[rules_winter]

Oh I didn't mean she'd know Maera was a seer, only that she was the daughter of one. Unless the mother keeps it secret as well. :)

[goroesi]

Ah, got it!! Sorry, I misread things very often ^^' But yeah, her mother is publicly known as the Court Seer and she's there for anyone who wants to know what might lie in their future! So that might be reason for Mab to have known of Maera in the first place.

[rules_winter]

A perfect reason! I don't suspect Mab would use a Seer regularly but perhaps on occasion it would be useful, ie: before territory claims and such. But a messenger is always useful and I won't have to resort to pixies then.

Awesome! That works out wonderfully, then :D
