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!

Willard H. Wright / Seacats

[alethiological]

Race: Meta-human, stupidly hardcore Fae bloodline
Age: 28
Voted In High School As: Most likely to be mistaken for a werewolf

Background:

• Oh Look At That Dumb American Over There Hitting Their Head On The Doorframe Hahaha What A Jackass
• May or may not have spent his life in america murdering hypthetical witches all across the east coast under contract with a christian psycho cult
• HAHA THAT'S A JOKE HAHAHA
• He just works as a totally normal person for a publication firm. Totally.
• (No he actually transferred to work as a Hunter/Consultant for Hillingdon welp)
• Frequently seen lazing about coffee shops and bookstores.
• writes murder mystery novels for funsies. WHAT A LOSER

Personality: RUDE. RUDE AS HELL. So very very very rude. But he's one of those "huge tactless assholes with a heart of squish" archetypes, so we all know how that goes. TLDR particularly of the type that also takes "let's kill it" as a valid problem solving method. He'll get over that through CR. Or get worse. WHO KNOWS!!!

With people he's close to, he tends to try to pull his rude punches. And fails at it. Also more likely to joke around or assist with menial tasks that have absolutely NO PAYOFF, even if he doesn't really understand it cause he's dumb with human values and human morals and human anything else ever. He's also surprisingly patient in regards to everyone else's problems, so A+ School Counselor future on the horizon.

Looking For:

• HILLINGDON MATES. Pile of radicals yes good.
• Or any Hunters ever so they can all be confused how someone this lazy turns into a war machine
• LET'S KILL ABOMINATIONS TOGETHER GUYS /o/
• Obnoxious teenagers to whine about their life problems since he's a magnet for that kind of abuse.
• Traveling sunshine brigade to force cynics to be less cynical. Bonus points if they're legit humans to attempt teaching the almost-fae how to not be a Dumb.
• Non-humans that aren't bugfuck insane because he's kind of a racist and needs to stop that. Bonus points for witches.
• EVERYONE EVER BECAUSE I LOVE YOU ALL AND WANT TO HOLD YOU TO MY BOSOM

no really everyone get over here let me love you

COMES IN LIKE A WRECKING BALL

[goldenstar]

hello it is a proud member of the sunshine brigade here telling will to suck it up and put the vanilla&brownsugar shampoo in your hair, punk

SMASH ME ANY DAY BABY

[alethiological]

NO HE DOESN'T WANT IT
but the instant she offers strawberries and creme then yeah, fork over the vanilla

[goldenstar]

so he DID find something in that giant sample basket!

[alethiological]

yes. he found STRESS AND DESPAIR

[goldenstar]

he misspelled 'hope' and 'happiness' again

[alethiological]

they're close words on the keyboard sry

Re: Willard H. Wright / Seacats

[torestoreorder]

Hello Hllingdon friend, wanna earn some hunting money under the table? And then drink nice alcohol and talk in graphic detail about it?

[alethiological]

Yes. A thousand times yes. Irritated murderjob drinking buddies yes.

[torestoreorder]

Sweeeeeeet.

[mensrea]

yes hello stiles would like to apply for the position of obnoxious teenager are you still hiring, y/y

They can be asshole americans together while Stiles harasses Will to let him see the transcripts of his unfinished novels. DON'T LEAVE HIM ON A CLIFFHANGER DUDE.

[alethiological]

yyyyyyyy

Yes asshole american bros in a country of ponces with bad steak anD HE'LL LEAVE YOU ON WHATEVER CLIFFHANGER HE PLEASES FIGHT HIM. Oh god and Stiles can slowly weasel his way into making Good Life Choices and hanging out with non-humans.

just don't good life choices into nogitsune plz. please.

[mensrea]

THIS ALL SOUNDS EXCELLENT.

ha ha ha nogitsune, that sounds like something out of a kid's book, pffffft

[alethiological]

.... welp

Bad Ideas Brigade, ASSEMBLE

[emotioneater]

I think you need a non-human who is ridiculously good at getting along with people. Cooper's a nice likable vampire, though he does have no compunctions about munching on all the little people-shaped blood bags wandering around.

[alethiological]

If he can honestly say he only bites people for sustenance, then it'll be friendly CR. If he can't, then it'll be 'why cant i kill you in public' irritablebros CR. EITHER WAY I'M GAME

Yesssss vampire come to me

[emotioneater]

Muhahaha! Excellent, since I adore negative CR almost as much as I like friendly CR. Cooper will just think he is crazy either way (complete with making the face in this icon), though as of late he's tried being less of a bite-everyone-in-sight monster.

I shall rub my hands together in anticipation.

[alethiological]

yessss someone who appreciates negative CR winds around your legs. And to be fair, he's a christian extremist that wants to kill all non-humans despite being one. He Is Crazy And Deserves That Face.

Complete with villainous cackles. I shall accost you momentarily.

[megidoomed]

so I hear you want obnoxious teenagers to whine about their life problems

but consider this:

obnoxious teenagers to whine about their life problems while being intangible.

[alethiological]

HE CAN'T FIX THIS PROBLEM HE CAN'T PUNCH IT D:

aka yes

just don't go poltergeist on his paperwork at five in the morning when he has a deadline

he has salt shakers and OCD aradia, don't test him

[megidoomed]

fine.

she'll just go b-list poltergeist at 4:55M in the morning when he has a deadline.

8I

... forreals though I'm cackling. I've been here like two hours and I'm already so hype.

[alethiological]

ffffffFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

>:|

see aren't you glad you came LET US CACKLE TOGETHER

[megidoomed]

mwahahahahah *hides all your left socks*

I am super glad I came thank you for talking me into this! :D (And thank you to the other two anons too if you're reading this ily2)

Also - do you think he'd merely be in the same building, or close to the actual apartment that Aradia "haunts"? ouo

[alethiological]

oh my god that is the worst torture why would you even
GHOSTS D:

YOU'RE WELCOME! I've actually really enjoyed everyone I've tagged here, and they all seem the pretty chill sort + good writers. And that combination is enough to make me content and willing to fight more people into joining the horde.

Realtalk, the place he lives is the cheapest trashy studio apartment he could get his hands on because quitting college to be a religious extremist does not actually pay the bills. That is the extent of my thought to his apartment, mostly because even if there were stories pandered about the neighbors about some ghost girl stealing their socks, his care levels are like. Beyond negative.

SO if you want to have Aradia haunting the same building, or just slowly oozing her way over to possess both, either works! He still whole-heartedly regrets yet still offers her full use of his place for practicing.

[megidoomed]

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.
