Potential CR Planning/ATP: July 2015

Potential CR Planning

Thinking of joining the Underground? Come tell us all about it. This post is for 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. Oh, and feel free to jump into our latest test drive meme!

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...

Helen Poole | OC

Hey guys it's Kim again, yaaaaay. While I've been thinking of bringing the above girl into the game, I've also been considering apping a few characters in solely for plots as antagonists or whatever, to eventually be killed or redeemed.

And that brings me to this lovely girl. Helen Poole. A ghost. She's still being worked on as far as the specifics of how she died and exactly how old of a ghost she is (all i know is she's ollllld), but she died young and horribly. And slowly, over time her ghost has gone from someone simply wanting to find the young man she was in love with at the time of her death (who couldn't save her) and be reconciled to pass on, to a much more vengeful spirit.

She fools people into helping her 'pass' and then drives them mad to kill them. Very lovely girl.

I'm thinking she has an accomplice, simply to do the killing for her. And I'm thinking vampire (because why not) and for her to be allied with the Islington Nest because of it.

Sound interesting?

I'm always up for more ghosts in the game as I'm sure you know and I'm always up for more variety in the types of them.

Helen sounds reaaaally interesting. I'll be super interested in seeing her in the game with her wrecking some havoc in the environment!

I can't wait for her and Clara to meet!

If she's ever in the TDM or any voicetesting posts you put up, let me know! I'll totally tag her with anyone you want.
