Potential CR Planning/ATP: August 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. Our next test drive is due to be posted tomorrow, Saturday 29th August, so look out for that!
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...

Seriously though, such a perfect character for the game. I would love to see a slayer sometime too. I'm Athena, I play Mab (obviously) the Lady of Air and Darkness in the Unseelie court. If you'd like him to know her that would work for me. She's one of the big bads for the first half of her own series (where she is the Unseelie Queen) and is kind of 'summon at your own risk' but I'd love for them to know one another if you want. She's not much of a 'friends' person so much as an allies or acquaintances person. Or someone you might owe favors to that might make your life miserable.

This would be interesting-- Giles has been known to call on 'summon at your own risk' types when it's time for desperate measures. Possibly he encountered her during some
apocalypsecrisis situation in the past, so they'd recognize each other as potential allies if it came down to it-- 'this person kept their end of bargain and is as trustworthy as can be expected' type of thing.Though I'm interested to hear how she'd call in a favor, because that could happen in the future.

As fair warning, owing Mab a favor for something big and apocalypsy would have likely resulted in him nearly dying to return the favor. But yes this would be awesome. Mab holds up her end of bargains well.
So far her favors have been pretty benign, but the bigger the thing you ask her for (ie: saving someone's life) the deeper in debt you'd be. She generally aims for suborning someone into becoming hers. Curing someone near death would basically require their agreement to complete loyalty to her. (Becoming her vassal, I built it into her ability to heal as a requirement.) She has Faust trying to find a way to key the doorways to the other world so she can control who can pass through the ones she makes. She might ask them to assist with a territory claim, or to defend a territory for a certain period of time. To get information for her at their own risk etc.

Yes, she has been spreading around seeds waiting for them to bear the fruit of favors asked. So this fits in wonderfully. I would love to get him in over his head at some point in the unknown future when you really want him to suffer.
