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!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Player name: Orlando
Character name: John Constantine
Canon: Hellblazer
Species: Witch / Human?
Faction: Questioning

Notes/ideas/questions etc:
First premise: John has known about the Underground for a while, but has never been there. He normally avoids this kind of thing, since he is not exactly dear to supernatural creatures (taking a piss on the King of Vampires' corpse, anyone?). One day, however, he turns the wrong corner and gets trapped here. He assumes he's got trapped by a foe, but it's something we have to work on.

Second premise: I can't really fit him into a faction. Circle Daybreak seems to be the obvious one, since he is a mage, but he isn't really the "healer" type. Since I play him pre-canon, I was thinking about getting really pre-canon, and get him in as a human who wants to learn magic. Dark magic, that is, since he wants to resurrect his mother.

Other ideas are welcome!
