Potential CR Planning: Pre-game

[undergroundmods]

Potential CR Planning

Hello! This post is for all 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 first application round, 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 prospective players, but I'm happy to answer any mod questions you might have too. Happy planning!

Hey, other Eastender. This guy's been around in the pack for a while and works in the black market, so he might be someone Derek would want to question/ask for info? He tends to be kind of on the outskirts of the pack but he's an active member.

Joooooel omg :D

Yes absolutely! I imagine in that position Joel would be pretty good for contacts and stuff, so Derek would be absolutely likely to hit him up, and they could possibly click due to the whole keeping on the outer circle of things.

It's the first time I've played him so I'm hoping to do him justice cause he's one of my favourites.......

Yeah, absolutely. I could see Joel seeing some of himself in Derek which might lead him into being kind of parental? But not enough to stop him from doing him. So maybe more like an uncle, haha.

not!dad yes that would be amazing Derek can't really stop himself gravitating to familial-ness even when it's unintentional

[survivin]

Perfectttttttt!! Plus if he becomes not!dad, he'll definitely help Derek out if he needs it (even if he doesn't want it)

[viduation]

I'm pretty sure they'll both be terrible for NOT NEEDING HELP!! and then helping out anyway. Not that it means anything.

Would you prefer to have this start off in game, or begin with established cr? I'm cool working either way!

[survivin]

Hahaha, I'm so ready.

Well, at the moment I'm in need of some threads for his app, so would you mind terribly if we did start with established cr? I can hit up your post, or you can hit up mine.

[viduation]

Not at all! And let me know if that tag doesn't work or anything I'll happily switch things around so it fits what you have in mind better!
