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!

Short version!

CEO of a quickly growing company that focuses on biotech and enhancing the future, Hyperion

Hillingdon member, possibly on a higher rank

Provides jobs for needy magical sorts

Has a secret hate for fae, plans to eventually put them in their "place"

Also a sarcastic, joking, (sometimes backstabbing) asshole but oh so handsome

Looking for...

Underlings who work for him, either in Hillingdon or in Hyperion

Frienemies

Respected friends and confidants

Someone to reign him in

People who straight out hate him

Anything!

~~an Angel would be too much to ask for wouldnt it~~

Well I can't provide an Angel. But I can provide an angel. ;D

Aziraphale is a fae in hiding so it would be rather great fun if eventually he had to watch his back for Handsome Jack. It'll probably be a long term much later down the line thing but I could see Jack outing Outcast fae to put them in danger.

Dude, I'm all about Aziraphale. I love Good Omens and I'm super excited to see where you take him! So uh. YES PLEASE. Also yes, along the line that could be a lot of fun to play out. Whoops villain struggles.

Are there any sort of factions that may give them a reason to interact? Does Aziraphale hide his fae identity?

I'm so glad to see more fans of Good Omens! It is hands down my favorite book.

Aziraphale is an instructor at Redbright Institute hiding his fae identity, so these two would be natural enemies~ it'd be more of a long term thing if he were to be outed, so I guess that would be FUTURE cr and not pre-cr haha. I have more info on my app, on my account, if you wanna take a look?

Aziraphale was on the streets for 17 years so he probably had at least one bad run in with Hillingdon during that time.

It's definitely up there in my favourites, I honestly read it over and over.

Yeah, but in terms of being future cr, that sounds like a lot of fun. The fact that he's posing as a meta-human strikes me! I'm angling to get Jack in as a senior clan member or a clan leader, so it's possible if Aziraphale was acting as meta-human during those years, Jack may have stood up for him? Seeing as meta-humans sure aren't the problem round these parts.

Aziraphale may have! Problem is Aziraphale could only pose as a human until midnight, when his illusions would break and he couldn't cast them again til sunrise. Those deadly five to seven hours would have made him a solid target for vampires and fae haters/hunters.

It's up to you if Jack was friends or foes with him during that time, if they'd met before!

OKAY I've been thinking and writing Jack's history and such and I have two options for ya, lemme know which one sounds better.

One is that Jack is making technology to help locate other supernaturals, which may come in handy as being an outreach person, so they could interact that way and it could just be tenuous and we can run into fae trouble later OR

Another would be that they ran into each other while it was obvious Aziraphale was fae, and though he got away from the Hillingdon when Jack scars up his face, maybe he blackmailed Aziraphale to cast longer lasting illusions in order to hide the scar?

I'm thinking about it pretty intensely, I love the blackmail idea though the problem is that Aziraphale's illusions probably wouldn't be too helpful because they're dispelled when midnight rolls around and so would need to be redone daily. His powers are sadly quite limited now that he's an outcast >8Ia The other problem would be having to go editing my background which is literally exactly at 500 words as it stands right now haha.

Aziraphale isn't an Outreach Program member himself, he's just well acquainted with them and involved in a political sense in that he has connections and some minor influence because of these acquaintances. He would have heard of Jack, maybe, but he wouldn't have attended any meetings.

SO HM, if there's any reason that Jack would have tried to blackmail him into helping him back in the day while Jack was a member of Hillingdon AND Aziraphale was on the streets, we could have that? Perhaps some minor thing where Jack caught him off the street and forced him to do something for him? This could give them the beginnings of a rather nasty relationship later down the line.

Ugh dude I feel that, I've got 499 words. This was a struggle!! Usually you have to be so long winded it was an interesting exercise to cut down.

Oh. Oh no. I've got it. How does Aziraphale feel about human testing? c: How would he feel about helping/advising Jack on early experiments on increasing fae power, either on himself or Angel....?

Would Jack have ANY need for black market magic hooha? Maybe they can be sorta business acquaintances and then Jack can straight up ditch or turn Kenzi into the right people when she stops being useful for him?

Mmm, black market stuff.... We can definitely work that in. He's doing some underground research that might cause some need for it! And yeah, he may straight up ditch her, is she fae?

I decided on witch for Kenzi just cause it'll be easier for her to make all the charms and items that she sells.

That makes sense to me. Yeah, they can definitely work together some as long as she's good at keeping her mouth shut. Hell, if she does well enough, he might try to befriend her.

sweeet. she's shockingly good at keeping crap to herself, so we'll have to see how it goes!

I'd snark about Aradia taking the effort to prank-haunt his offices sometimes as a running joke, but that'd probably end in exorcism. :|a

I can definitely see her ghostly butt keeping tabs on him though, if you're cool with that? He's loud enough that it'd ping through her apathy. ~~plus backstabbing always get her attention.~~

... also, I'd like to take a moment to appreciate that your icon keywords are TFLN quotes. That's beautiful.
