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...
Jensen | The Losers (movie)
Potential new application in the works. I’m friends with the Mab-mun and after months of telling me about this place I figured I’d give it a shot and see how things go.
I’ve decided on Captain Jake Jensen from the movie version of The Losers. He has the mad skills but is kind of a goofy derp about things for a vast majority of the time. For now I was thinking of just going the Human route, and I’m told there’s a Hunter faction but I don’t see any information on it. I’m not sure if it’s a faction or just a job occupation within the game, some clarification would be great. Chances are I just missed where it was written (I wear glasses for a reason).
A bit of background: Jensen is / was part of an American Special Forces unit, until a minor unfortunate incident in Bolivia sent everything haywire and the whole team had to go underground. Apparently some douche-mcgouche by the name of ‘Max’ has been pulling some strings on some high-fangled ecological global terrorism bombs and framed Clay’s entire team along the way. Long story short, Clay and crew (Jensen: “Me me!”) managed to halt that whole diabolical cluster-mess but Max got away.
Plans?: I figure at this point Clay splits his team globally in hopes in trying to find Max. Jensen, being the more personable one of the bunch, is sent to London and handed over to (insert faction here) and briefed that he’ll be dealing with some exceptionally strange, yet dangerously skilled, people. From there it’s kind of a blank slate. Behind the scenes he’ll be trying to sniff out Max, but I figure this is where he can get swept up with all of the other things within the Underground world. Ultimately I’m playing him for the laughs for this game, I like bringing comic relief to the table when I play.
Looking for some input on how to slide him in so that I can tweak things to make him fit snugly into this particular game. Always open for suggestions, but I’d like him to stay human during the initial stages. If he ends up being turned into something else later on down the road I’m game for that. Jensen is a military guy, so if I can fit him in where he’s instructed for certain missions along the way that would be great. His primary skills are Technology and Communications, so he could probably have a job at a software company or be an IT guy along the way as far as his everyday job prospects are concerned.
He is also mad-skilled in being the biggest cheerleader for his 8-year old niece’s soccer team (“Go Petunias!!”). He hacks satellites in order to get the latest footage on his niece’s games no matter where he is in the world. Not to mention he likes Journey, playing with dinosaurs, and making failed attempts at picking up women.
I’ll be jumping in shortly to start getting some test drives going prior to application season beginning once again. Y’all can see how I drive…blindfolded, and eating bananas. It’s GISHWHES week right now, so things have been hectic on top of the usual work obligations.

So factions I think Hillingdon Clan might be his best shot - factions wise. I will think more on this after I have had more than five hours of sleep.
Also I need to get you on plurk. It makes for easy plotting.
edited because five hours does not provide for good html-ing

So are the Hunters dispersed amongst different factions then? I read the factions part multiple times, and I guess I'm just confused since the rules say I must join a faction, but there's really no place for humans that is being specifically mentioned other than being a vampire's chew toy. Everything else seems reserved for meta-humans. This is where the confusion is setting in for me at the moment.
I wanted to go the hunter route, but it appears they're not even listed or explained. So who would give orders, and how would I go about this whole business?
You'll probably just tell me tomorrow when I visit you. But at least you have something to read. XD
