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!

Dandy Mott | American Horror Story

[affluenza]

No app yet, alas (although I do have old apps in my journal if you want a more detailed rundown of his canon personality and background).

The basics:

• Spoiled vampire brat born around the year 1800 to a wealthy family in America.


• Very rich and elitist, tends to act childish despite his age because he's been so sheltered and never disciplined or told 'no'. A huge sadist on top of that, loved emotionally manipulating others as well.


• HUGE enthusiast of all things Hollywood, wants to be an actor despite the obvious difficulties that would pose. Especially fond of the golden age of Hollywood. Buys film reels of his favorite movies.


• Had to flee to Europe in the mid 1950s after going on a murderous rampage in the small town where he had lived quietly with his mother for decades, and thus currently resides in London.


• Basically sees most people as playthings, but will be nicer to you if you can act/sing/dance or have two heads or something interesting like that.


• Likes to straight up bathe in blood because decadence and excess and all that.


• Fairly ambitious and cunning, despite being childish.


• Essentially idle rich, as the Mott family business is still going strong.


• Aligned with the Islington Nest.

Looking for:

• Any castmate related things if you're apping from AHS! From any series, not just Freakshow. I'm keeping the deaths and things related to Gloria Mott vague in his background just in case.


• Other vampires.


• Ghost pals, because the blurb about ghosts and vampires making good friends caught my eye.


• Fellow enthusiasts of Hollywood/theater/the arts in general.


• Friends (if anyone actually would be).


• Enemies (which should be easy enough to find).


• Fellow rich socialite types.


• Minions.


• Anything really! Hit me up if you have an idea.

Hey rich socialite, wanna hang out with another sociopath?

[affluenza]

Of course! If you're a sociopath you're probably alright in Dandy's book.

Hello! I'm a terrible individual and I think it would be funny/neat/awful/great if somehow Dandy and Clara knew each other. She's a ghost and a decent person so maybe something interesting can come out of this?

[affluenza]

Sure! Dandy's the opposite of a decent person but at least he can't harm a ghost...

[warmheartedly]

There's no way this could go wrong, am I right? I'm super pumped for this.

Hi five for potential Islington nestmate?

[affluenza]

I was about to tag you on the test drive anyways haha, so sure!

[emotioneater]

Heh I was thinking about doing the exact same thing. Great minds RP alike!

[kleptofaeniac]

Hey rich guy you wanna have some daylight jewelry to go out and murder in the daytime without witches knowing what you're up to?

or maybe just a stupid kid who keeps crashing rich people parties and bothering you?

[affluenza]

Sure! To both~
