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...

OH MY GOD YES.

We need Giles around here.

HOKAY so this is Nancy from Oliver Twist. 18-year-old hooker with a heart of gold. Except this time, she's also a Circle Midnight witch, cofounder of Shadow Coven and willingly lets vampires bite her for a bit of cash, because it's a pretty decent business. She always needs father figures, given her own lack of one that isn't the worst.

IDK but I would love some CR

Wow this sounds like several things Giles would disapprove of LET'S DO IT. He will be charmed by her against his will, they can reluctantly end up relying on each other and get that mentor-type CR rolling, I can absolutely see this happening. Watch him accidentally adopt all the Midnight kids.

fuck yeaaaahhhh. this will be fun!

adopt all of them. they need good homes with kind people. midnight has attracted some troubled girls lbr.

My name is Shea, btw.

If Giles has been around London for a while, and during his rebel punk years, if he was into summoning fae and dealing with their awful things, he'd probably have heard of her guardian. Creepy old fae named Fagin who has a host of kids basically at his command that run around and pick pockets. And sell drugs. And other terrible things no child should be doing.
