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...

Hey all, Frank here! AKA Eames' player. I'm not sure if I want to bring this character in this round or not (since I'm gonna be busy most of August, only having one on my plate may be for the best) but I'm def thinking about bringing in an OC of mine.

So this is Emir, he's a nerdy ass witch who moved to London for university and in the process discovered that the reason people get weird around him sometimes is because he's been unconsciously throwing spells around like a massive loser. He has a natural affinity for any kind of magic that affects emotions, but as said, he's a giant fucking nerd and so is super fascinated by getting his hands on any and all knowledge that he can. I'm pretty sure there's a lot of scope for spells going wrong or getting involved with people he shouldn't because of this.

I'm thinking he's more likely to be affiliated with Circle Midnight than Daybreak - not that he's super keen on practising the ~dark arts~, but rather because he feels like he should be allowed to decide for himself what kind of magic he wants to learn.

Ohhhh I really like Emir's specialisation! I'm wondering if there's any way for Emir to know either Clara or Matthew. Maybe he frequents either the coffee shop or the bar, respectively, and they get to know each other in the process?

I could see him hanging at a coffee shop a lot, mainlining espresso and trying to finish assignments before the deadline. How amenable is Clara to having some nerd ramble about theology to her and/or ask her lots of questions about what being a ghost is like?

[warmheartedly]

She's super cool with people talking their favourite things to her and asking her things! When she finds out he isn't going to try and banish her or anything, she'll be more than happy to talk with him for hours and hours while he spends his time there trying to get work done.

If/when you bring in Emir, he and Abby will have to run into each other, since she's setting up a formal, public coven for Circle Midnight. She's not much of a practitioner of the dark arts herself and generally disapproves of magic being used to hurt people unless it's truly deserved, but her entire continued existence depends on making a contract with a fae, so... Circle Daybreak has always kind of been out.
