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...

Hello! I'm Teresa and I play Faolan here, and I feel like the pair of them could have some shared backstory perhaps? Faolan is a hunter who's been doing his own thing for ~10 years or so, ever since his family was killed by vampires in Ireland.

Giles could either have encountered him when he was younger as one of those who was probably a little too old to have been one of his kids and a little too embittered to have been taken under his wing. OR depending on where he was 10 years ago, Faolan might have known him instead from his darker years -- running into him when he bought some enchanted items off of him during his black magic phase maybe? It could be fun to have them run into each other now, years after the fact, and be like "WEREN'T YOU THAT GUY..."? :')a

Oh man I would love "WEREN'T YOU THAT GUY" but tragically Giles stopped being ~punk rock~ when he was... 25ish, and he'll be 40-45 here. But he was probably still a bit low-ranking and disgraced when Faolan met him, so he was still of a mind to sympathise with the embittered loner thing, and they might've shared info or something a bit.

ALAS and Faolan's really only 28 years old so that's...a little before his time then, HAHAHA. But Giles could have run into him when Faolan was just starting out in London, then? His whole family was killed by vampires when he was 18 so he ran off and became a hunter himself and had a pretty rough time of things, maybe Giles could have tried to help him out a couple of times? Even though Faolan was probably angry and bitter and didn't really end up being all that grateful for the help at the time SORRY GILES. He would have been without a family or support system or without a home so. He would have been a hunter, not a witch, but he would have been a good trial for an attempt at what Giles has going on now maybe? Before he got too ornery and disappeared off into the streets of London or something HAHA???
