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...
KARKAT VANTAS | homestuck
personality: bad-tempered, easy to annoy, easily frustrated.. and yet somehow staggeringly emotional, compassionate and caring. loyal, steadfast, determined and practical. intelligent. leader-centric. takes no shit.
canon bg: karkat is an alien in his canon who will scream until things go his own way (which they mostly do not) and who spends a good portion of his time trying to make sure everyone's problems/arguments/murderous tendencies aren't getting in the way of the end goal or getting his friends killed. fun and games ahoy, really. he's a mediator. and everyone's agony aunt.
au bg: human. the most reluctant and untutored medium, if you can even call him that. afflicted against his will with sensory talent and party-trick level abilities he comes out the other side a flashing neon sign for those of the Other Side, but with very little experience to actually help them out.
he's a med student in the making - uni probably - he's good with helping alive people. there's not much he can do with dead people and his trial-and-error psychic abilities.
possible connections: he reluctantly (he makes a fuss but probably really wants to be helpful) assists any wayward whisp that might ask him for help when he makes eye contact. he works in a hospital clinic as reception staff in his down time. he's terrified of most of the shit he sees, and he doesn't like blood. he's a fucking cliche, he knows, thanks. he's also had five hundred side jobs bc shit is expensive. and he's loud.
so failing everything, characters might have just heard him around as opposed to having seen him.
you can read the skeleton of my app here, for more info on my ideas for his background and his personality.
any more info, feel free to ask, or catch me at
no subject
Hi, I'm Skull, and clearly nobody has any idea who this ghost dweeb is. Karkat as a untrained medium is a weirdly fitting idea and. oh my gosh
Sorry that I'm so incoherent but - we should probably iron out whether these two'd've known each other before Aradia died or something. Since medium buddies! :D
