Character Workshop

Welcome to the Underground! This post is a permanent AU workshop where you can discuss the character(s) you're considering applying, get feedback on your character's AU background and establish pre-existing CR with players already in the game. 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. Alternatively, we also have a Discord channel where you can do the same thing. Feel free to pop in for a chat.

Before you start, have a read through the FAQ, species and factions. These will help you to think about what role you would like your character to play in this supernatural world.

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.
• Work out potential shared history with other characters.

Use this handy form to get started:

<b>Player name:</b> <b>Character name:</b> <b>Canon:</b> <b>Species:</b> <b>Faction:</b> <b>AU summary:</b> <b>Notes/ideas/questions etc:</b> <b>Play with me:</b>

Player name:
Character name:
Canon: Or put "Original" here if you're playing an OC.
Species: Say which species you're considering! Or ask for suggestions.
Faction: Say which faction(s) you're considering! Or ask for suggestions.
AU summary: Here's where you can give a rundown of your thoughts so far, including a summary of who your character is and their AU background.
Notes/ideas/questions etc: This is your opportunity to ask for feedback! Is there any pre-existing CR that you'd like to establish? Are you looking for ideas on what role your character could play in their faction or what rank they should be? Do you have some cool ideas for what you'd like your character to do in the game that you'd like to share. Whatever you'd like to hear current players' thoughts on, ask it here.
Play with me: Link to your test drive meme thread, or anywhere else you'd like to test out your character!

Please note that posting about your character here is not the same as reserving and there is no guarantee that any advice you are given here will be accepted in your application. 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.

If you have any specific questions that you would like to check with the mod, please refer to the FAQ where you can ask any questions.

Happy planning!

Heya! I'm Shea, and I have Dame Frye here (as well as some other incredibly dangerous women). The way I've gotten it set up so far is that essentially, Templars=vampires, Assassins= hunters, for the most part. Occasionally an Assassin gets turned, whoops here we are.

THIS WOULD ACTUALLY WORK, truth be told. Depending on how far removed you want Desmond to be from actually Assassin stuff, we could have a lot of fun with that!

Hello! I've been looking for an excuse to play Desmond forever, but trying to make remote sense of AC canon sometimes is very [helpless hand gestures]. I did take a look at Evie's history/bio to get a sense of what's been established with the Brotherhood so far -- if you've got anything written up orrr have general big points I should be aware of, please let me know!

I know I'd definitely like him to catch on to the whole 'wait there are other Assassins!?' situation in London so I'm definitely interested in getting him involved! I'm leaning to keeping him from America (hey, they somehow end up in Italy between the AC1 and AC2 games so weirder things have arguably happened) which is a convenient excuse for his general ignorance of what's going on.

My main questions atm is whether 1. hidden blades are still a thing, 2. weird alien artifacts (although I suppose the better analogue here would be ~enchanted fae objects~ or something) are still something the Templars are after. :|a I'm happy to bounce ideas for maximum flexibility because a lot of this is still very nebulous in my head.

1) Hell yes they are! Often times Evie loads hers with a stake.

2) Yes, yes they are.

Most excellent. That gives me a good idea of how to write up some parts of his backstory, at least, so now it's just down to writing the app, figuring out the last of the faction-waffling, and probably tossing him at the TDM sometime!
