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...

okay so "today or tomorrow" was overly hopeful but I'm on it. have a Giles, too.

also: I might have skimmed your app while picking at my own, and seen that you want a Daybreak mentor, potentially. I have a guy who adopts shitty teenagers. you have a shitty teenager. it could be beautiful.

YOU DID? god it looks and contains so much awful currently, i'm so sorry about that. it's a big work in progress spread across like four entries.
but oh my god that could be beautiful. karkat is a very shitty brand of shitty teenager. (/*u*\)

NO WORRIES MAN I was just honestly curious how everyone else is doing things like birthdays and parents, I didn't give it a proper read your wips are safe with me.

yes indeed he is, I don't know if you're familiar with Buffy at all but Giles is basically Accidental Dad to a band of variously difficult people. he has literally parented worse. they can not talk about feelings together and be stupidly heroic in bad situations and Giles will just roll his eyes at most of Karkat's life but never actually leave, it'll be great.

you can even convince him to unironically watch terrible movies if he's really, really bored.
