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!

because I'm 90% sure I feed off your pain and misery bro. you are my mealticket to existing.

I've baaaarely tagged anyone yet because I am a terrified baby bird but the game seems so much fun so far and I hope I can get in. We need to organize a fight club for new recruits. /nodnod

I'm not actually sure what building she'd haunt yet, only that she sticks to her old apartment building because it's safe, while she works out her jam. I'm not sure which idea I like better, though the idea of her just slowly congealing over both buildings is slightly winning out. Because that's hilarious.

FUCK he immediately regrets everything

And don't be terrified! I know one of the other anons mentioned going flatview and then going after people are still tagging around the TDM, which is a pretty good idea. I just want everyone to at least have the minimum for the app so they can. You know. Actually app.

And we have time to figure it out! But oh god, slowly aradia oozes to haunt all of england. Country-wide losses of socks and papers hanging from the ceiling. Anarchy ensues.

It's too late now. You've made your bed, now lie in it.

I'm just always terrified, l-lmao. Social anxiety makes rp really awkward, especially for the first month or so in a new game. Hear hear on the app thing though *A*

... you know what, it needs to be canon now. that's her endgame. right there. you heard it here first folks. Also, on a totally unrelated note, I'm now wondering if undergrounds!ghosts produce ectoplasm.

but he doesn't have a bed he has a couch

I would suggest my method of coping but I hit the booze so. Don't do that. I mean unless it helps in which case do it but don't say I said you should do it. Vodka is never the answer except for the times its the answer. EITHER WAY tag out young dead girl. Take all the socks.

And ask the mods! Or mod, I'm not sure if it's one or a collective hivemind horde or not, but they're speedy about answering questions on the FAQ or as PMs.

It's rectangular and comfy. Counts as a bed! :D

and psshhh, vodka isn't the answer. Tequila and cola is*. It is known. But out I shall tag, and it shall be good.

I think I'm slowly amassing a hoard of questions by now. I think that's a good thing :|a


*DONT BE ME PLEASE it's my job to make my bartender friends cry

[alethiological]

oh no, nope, tequilame should never be allowed anywhere near ANYONE. at least vodkame is functional, even if occasionally becoming a megalomaniac

And yes it is imho. Better to drop them all at once than think of one at the last minute and be like "shit i don't want to double-post fffff" and then run away in horror.

[megidoomed]

I'm lucky. I just go giggly and emotional and then pass out, regardless of the drink. Drunkme is lame.

Agreed, plus it's so much more satisfying to infodump all at once. :D

[alethiological]

at least it's better than blackouts? i don't want to know what tequilame does.

Damn right it is. Now GO FORTH! Dumb the teal deers on the poor unsuspecting hypothetical mod horde.

[megidoomed]

Gets up to wild adventures that you don't get to be a part of, clearly. Neener neener.

*/salutes.* Aye aye, cap'n.

[brightwitch]

Ectoplasm: afraid not. Our ghosts are far too classy to ooze.

[megidoomed]

Drat. Aradia can't rub slime over everything, woe is me. /silly

Thank you for dropping by with the answer, though C:
