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...
tavros nitram | homestuck
Race
Werewolf
Faction
Probably loosely affiliated/allied with the East End pack, but not a committed pack member due to the fact that he doesn't live there (yet). He's a big lonely dude who definitely isn't cut out for this lone wolf junk.
Personality: Easy-going, gentle, slow to anger - but when that anger boils over you're in serious trouble, avoids his problems like the plague, cautious, a complete geeky nerd who loves everything cute and fanged, something of a nerd elitist.
Canon BG: Can best be summed up as: Tavros has the worst luck in the world and the worst taste in friends. He was paralyzed, had one of his besties die tragically when she tried to get revenge, blinded a friend due to mind control, then got pushed around for a while before deciding enough was enough and getting stabbed for it. Then! He was a ghost. And maybe kind of dated the person that paraylzed and killed him, before realizing that she was a jerk and broke up with her, raised a ghost army, then immediately kind of reverted back to just being a second in command when someone bossier came along.
AU BGPossible Connections: People he went to highschool with, werewolf friends/enemies/frienemes, friends from all species and definitely negative cr. I love. Negative CR.
Plans: First and foremost, I'd actually love it if he got his ass kicked for not genuinely committing to any faction and basically just skirting the territories trying to not cause problems. That can't last forever.
***** I'm still not 100 percent on who is all involved in this and how it goes down and all that bc it's referencing a huge part in canon for him, and it's always more fun to use cr than it is to just random npcs for terrible things.
Re: tavros nitram | homestuck
Hi, I'm Skull, and I play this dweeb that totally doesn't know who Tavros is nope. Methinks we should hammer out backstory details for if you decide to app, given Pretendy Murder Funtime Games are currently on record as having happened (parts of it have been hammered out between me and Sollux-mun already) and I'd love having your opinion in the mix too.
I can hit you up on skype as elimyx, if you'd like, or we could do it here?
no stop dreamwidth
rest in pieces

I'm also apping an older Daybreak witch who might know how to make wolfsbane. If Tavros needs a guy to keep his lone-wolf self safely subdued during the moon, Giles adopts outcast teenagers like it's his job.
no subject
he'd also love to be adopted and/or learn how to control his wolfside.
no subject
Giles is a mentorly guy with a gigantic library of supernatural bs and he doesn't know how the fuck Youtube works or what a Pikachu is but he could use more earnest teenagers to worry about.
no subject
ok so my inner buffy nerd is screaming at me because i also play andrew and tavros would totally want to read every supernatural book and try to emulate giles. HE CAN'T DO MAGIC but he'd love the theory of it.
no subject
Giles has no one to tl;dr supernatural exposition at which is A TRAGEDY come let him teach you obscure things, Tavros, he will be so much happier.
no subject
TELL HIM ALL THE THINGS he's such a nerd. he'll sit and listen for hours on end and only interrupt for questions.
au bg since dreamwidth ate it
Tavros basically still has bad choices in friends and it leads to nothing good for him. His dad, a werewolf, skipped town on him, his mother and brother a little after he was born. No one really knows why, but an educated guess might say it was because he was from another pack and shouldn't have been there in the first place. His mom later remarried a gangster who was elbow deep in supernatural gang wars, but they weren't all that aware of that.
Tavros continues to have bad choices in friends. This friend decides she wants to toughen him up and recognizes the birthmark on his shoulder for what it is.
Everything was pretty normal until he was involved in a fatal car crash. Mind controlled most likely, because he doesn't remember it and has no recollection of anything afterwards beyond waking up in the hospital. The court case pretty much ruined his family. The ruling was that he'd lost control of the car and didn't have anything revoked, but that was probably because they figured the kid with the shattered legs wouldn't be able to drive again. Except due to the werewolf thing, that kind of wasn't that big of a problem.
He transformed for the first time in the hospital. They moved citing the need for a "fresh start", and ended up moving way up to a tiny village in North Yorkshire where the small pack there, consisting mostly of wizened old dudes obsessed with tradition, took him in. Being a werewolf meant that he healed faster and actually healed, but he still has a bit of an odd gait in both wolf and human forms.
He never went back to school and just makes most of his money running a Youtube channel that's him driving around rescuing dogs. And vlogging. Like - super nerd. He does LPs of Pokemon doing dumb Nuzlockes.
