thetube | AU 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:

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!

For current players

ahaha, see: my stresses about wanting to AU Connor and screaming

more seriously though, Evie's player has established the Brotherhood as a Thing in the wider world, so I'm sure there's stuff there you can work with. And honestly I think you've got a pretty good outline there too. You could also play with the ~*~muscle memory~*~ of the Animus with the fauxstergo rituals having the side effect of giving him a better understanding of magic (that he never wanted a bloo bloo)

WRT factions, I think Hillingdon is probably more fitting for Desmond overall (since it kinda offers that space to just... be himself and do things he wants to do at his own rate,) but Daybreak offers some interesting potential; his moral dilemma like you mentioned. And you can move later on.

EDIT: I see Shea got here before me, so I guess you can tell she's down to clown.

Oh lord, Connor would be hard. A million directions you could go with that one depending on how closely you wanted to stick to his canon history. But you shouuuld definitely do it anyway! I get to cheat a little because Desmond's already in the modern times, so it's just a matter of tweaking.

Fauxstergo is a great word but YES that's pretty much what I was thinking with that too (poor Desmond, life so hard, etc). wrt factions, it is DIFFICULT because I can easily see him going into either and then making a switch later (either disillusionment with the Circle or 'Hillingdon is great but they're not really helping me stop going crazy'). Decisions, decisions.
