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...

One of the characters is Lady Zozo from Code of Princess, also known as Milk Macchiato. Zozo is a gloomy witch (though she prefers necromancer) who's skilled in the dark arts and is...pretty casual about the whole "raising the dead" thing. Probably because it's like the family business. In canon she lost her body and was forced to make one out of corpse parts and bind her soul to in. Should I app her to the game, I plan on having be in largely the same boat...though with some strong illusion magic to appear normal. Aside from that, she's not personable and lacks social skills, but she's loyal to those she cares about and never takes offense to anything.
Except being called a zombie. Don't do that.
The next character I'm considering is Metallia from The Witch and The Hundred Knight. Metallia's a young witch in training with incredible power and an incredible temper to go along with it. She's hot-headed and brash, but really kind of childish on the inside due to a lack of anything resembling a childhood. However her canon counterpart was much stronger and went through a lot more, so I'm interested in seeing how an AU version of her could differ, grow, and adapt.
Another character I'm considering is Valvatorez from Disgaea 4. In ancient times he was a fearsome tyrant, one of the strongest vampires known to man. Legends spoke of him like some sort of boogeyman. However, one day he met a human woman who wasn't afraid of him. She asked him not to drink anyone's blood but hers, but he refused because his pride wouldn't let him drink blood from anyone not afraid of him. So he made a promise that he would refrain from drinking blood until he scared her. Then he would drink her blood.
Except she kinda died. But keeping his word, Val refrained from drinking blood and thus lost his power and influence, instead feasting on the blood of other things. Mostly sardines. If I brought him in I'd probably keep that part of his backstory, but I'd also like to bring him in his tyrant form to play out the inevitable de-powering.
Those are the main ones right now, but I'm also looking at Shadow Labrys from Persona, Jeane from No More Heroes and Lambda from BlazBlue as a Meta-Human, Meta-Human, and Ghost respectively.
