thetube | 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!

RACE: Human
AGE: 17
PERSONALITY: Clumsy, excitable, and awkward teenager with a wicked dry sense of humor. Tends to put foot in mouth often, which is unsurprising given the fact his mouth is usually running a mile a minute at any given point. Has a good heart and ultimately wants to protect his friends/loved ones, but is also willing to adjust his moral compass when necessary; he definitely leans towards a chaotic neutral/gray morality, unlike his heroic best bro. He’s drawn irresistibly to mysteries and the unknown. Expect him to be poking around everywhere he shouldn’t be. Despite his general friendliness, he’s slow to trust and has a very suspicious nature.

BACKGROUND: Stiles grew up in Beacon Hills, California. He’s been utterly unaware that supernatural creatures exist until relatively recently—when his best friend was bitten by a werewolf on the night of a full moon. The next chunk of his history is dependent on the decisions of a Scott McCall player, so if anyone would be interested in apping Scott, please hit me up! I’d love to plan out the details. For now, here’s what I’m thinking…

> Scott triggered the curse: Stiles has spent every full moon since that fateful night helping his buddy through the werewolf transformation. This probably involved chaining him up, breaking more than a few laws, etc. Additionally, they’ve come to realize that there are other supernaturals in Beacon County and have been helping out as they can.

> Scott didn’t trigger the curse: Stiles discovered the truth about what happened said fateful night through obsessively and extensively researching. This acts as the boys’ introduction to the paranormal world, and they soon get sucked into helping out the resident supernaturals in Beacon County to the best of their abilities.

Stiles’ father becomes increasingly concerned about his son, who is constantly coming home injured, is skipping school, is somehow involved in crimes around the town, and is blatantly lying to him. So he decides to send Stiles overseas to spend the summer with his mother’s side of the family in London. (If anyone wants to app Scott, maybe it was a joint-plan by Melissa and Stilinski!)

PLANS: Stiles has only just arrived in the UK. While he’s originally meant to just spend the next few months here, he’ll eventually decide to stay for an extended period (thank god that his Polish dual-citizenship grants him EU citizenship). Once he realizes that London is basically the supernatural epicenter of activity, he’ll be sticking his nose in EVERYTHING. In fact, he’ll likely march himself down to the Night Council HQ and try to barter, bribe, and sweet-talk his way into admittance at Redbright Institute…despite being 100% human! If/when he is turned down, Stiles will turn his sights to East End Pack, since he’s more familiar with werewolves than anything else.

In the long run, Stiles will definitely get involved in the political intricacies of the Underground.

LOOKING FOR:

> Friends!! Stiles is in a new country (potentially without his security blanket best friend) and will be desperate to make new connections…

> Enemies!! …except Stiles doesn’t always make a great first impression (or like, ever). Negative CR would be great, as long as we can plan out Stiles not getting his neck snapped in half by the supernatural types. (He's basically 150 lbs. of noodle, so.)

> Opportunities!! Does your character have a business of some kind that’s hiring? Maybe a witch looking for a delivery boy to bring those potions to dangerous territories or something? Stiles needs money. Stiles wants money. Stiles is willing to do stupid and dangerous tasks to get money (and information, always more information).

> Castmates?? Let’s plot!

Hey hey I hear you need money kid

Wow did you hear right, dude. So long as it doesn't involve needles, he is game. What're you offering?

There are a couple of options. He can drive delivery vans with the companies products in them, do low level intern/office work (with the chance of moving up in time), if he has any salable skills in the market world, that's also a possibility. Plus, Jack's an American too, so he's happy to help out a down and out countryman. Especially one who might be willing to do some underground footwork.

AYYY expats!!

Stiles would probably be best suited for delivery van driving. He'd probably get himself fired within a week as an intern—his attention span is horrific...

Haha, delivery van driving it is!

I feel like these two should meet. Cooper would probably take an immediate shine to him. He's got a soft spot for teenagers who are poking their noses in where they shouldn't be.

ABSOLUTELY. Stiles might be very wary of Cooper (if/when he learns about the vamp thing) but I am game for them building up their CR. I am also game for mind influences and blood snacking, so

TAKE STILES UNDER YOUR WING, COOPER.

Yay! Cooper will make sure the easily-breakable human doesn't go squish and size him up for, ahem, blood donations. Win-win situation in his eyes.

Wow Cooper, that's so selfless of you. You're the best pal a dumbass teen could ask for c:

Hey kid you want a second job with someone whose like... 3 years older than you and doing something super stupid and illegal?

SIGN HIM UP. HE LOVES STUPID AND ILLEGAL.

so what is the job :Db

for starters he can smile like that at EVERYONE. /shot

Kenzi is looking to fill a gap in the black market by selling illegally made charms and magical objects - Stiles can honestly do whatever you want him to, but I know I am looking for people to help Kenzi meet clients, people to help her get ingredients and junk, ect. ect.

If you have any other kinds of job descriptions on your mind i'd love to hear them!

HE CAN DO THAT, creepy evil smile here we come

That is absolutely something he can/will do. Especially if he can get his grubby lil hands on dangerous stuff. TOO COOL.

YEHA DANGEROUS STUFF

i foresee a lot of getting a lot seeing as how they're both the annoying sidekick in their own canons.
