Potential CR Planning: Pre-game

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!

Sounds good to me! How do we wanna go about that? do you wanna develop it in game or assume they've known each other a while?

Well, I was thinking Cooper's probably been in London about four or five years now, so he'd probably have run into Joel by now and butted heads with him. Probably a level of hatred mixed in with some grudging respect.

Hmm, yeah that works! Joel will have been around for longer, so they could have definitely met. What's Cooper's money situation? It it's not great, the two of them could be neighbors, which would be hilarious.

Ohhhh, that would be great! I'm still figuring out what Cooper does for a living, but I'm leaning towards motorcycle mechanic, so I could definitely see them being neighbors. They'd be like Sam Sheepdog and Ralph Wolf.

I'm so down for that. It'll be a fun dynamic. Especially because Joel likes to keep a low profile so they can't have huge explosive fights all the time, just strained and snarky ones
