CR Planning: June 2015

CR Planning: June 2015

Welcome to the Underground! Newbies, we're very excited to have you! This post is both a CR meme and a general update about what's happening in the game, so please do read and feel free to ask any questions.

You can use this post to:

• Discuss your character's background history with other players and make changes where needed.
• Work out shared history with canonmates and build in cross-canon CR.
• Say what kind of CR you're looking for and reply to others to offer CR.
• Say hi to the members of your faction and discuss your in-game strategy.
• Think about what territories you might want to make a claim on.

Newbies, are you wondering how to get started? The plotting post for June is still live, and there's room to jump in! Here are some plots in the works that are open to join:

Vampire & hunter shenanigans
• The Bloody Countess (20th June, Heiji Hattori)

Fae shenanigans
• Litha Feast: aka kidnapped by the Seelie (21st June, Heiji Hattori)
• Missing teens: aka who got kidnapped by the Seelie (in-progress, Pel Lavellan)

Witchy shenanigans
• Forming a Circle Midnight coven (25th June, Abigail Widdowson)
• Throwing a Midnight party at Geap Manor (1st July, Abigail Widdowson)

There will also be some new game information to be added this month: the Elites, a list of the most influential characters in each faction. These will be exclusively made up of level 4 or 5 ranking characters, and therefore to start off this page will be populated by NPCs. The twist? They'll be made up by you, so that you can put a name and a face to your faction leaders. Look out for an OOC post on that soon.

In the meantime, happy planning!

QUESTIONS

[undergroundmods]

Heiji

[detectiveofthewest]

Heiji is a friendly, chatty kitsune from Osaka, Japan who loves mystery novels. His alliance is with the Seelie fae, though of course since he mostly tools around the human world in human form, characters may or may not know this. Due to recent events, he's been considerably more active in his court, acting as a source of information to fellow fae and establishing connections with people from various London factions. Oh yeah, and he attracts dead bodies like it's an episode of Murder, She Wrote.

Here is Heiji's itinerary for the rest of June + July:

• Helping to take down a vampire countess (~June 20)
• Ferrying contestants back home from the Litha feast (June 21)
• Attending the Circle Midnight party on June 25th. Party.
• Leading a territory claim on Bromley on behalf of the fae. (July)
• Aiming for a promotion to Lord in the Seelie court. (July)

Some general areas I'm planning to tackle:

• Court happenings! There are quite a few new fae in the game, so Heiji will be getting to know folks. Sup lords and ladies!
• Alliances! Heiji is particularly interested in establishing good relations with the werewolves, though he'll also be getting into contact with Hillingdon's hunters. Should any dark witches need his help, he may also show up behind the scenes in areas taken by Redbright or Daybreak to offer them escort out of danger.
• Politics! Heiji is AFAIK the most open of the fae when it comes to discussing politics and his own motivations, so if your character is interested/would be involved in that.

CR I'm looking for:

• Other fae
• Spooky supernatural nonsense
• Action/comedy/horror
• Characters that can have conversations about whatever esoteric garbage Heiji is interested in. Like cryptids or serial murderers or archaeological sites or Commodore Perry.
• Other? In canon, Heiji ranges between serious and goofy. He's constantly doing things and meeting people, and if you add his naturally curious fox nature onto that in UG, he'll just be bumping into people left and right.

[warmheartedly]

/slides everywhere on your post

Can we have some silly fluffy comedy in the future where Clara accidentally causes a super spooky haunting my accident and Heiji investigates it and realises it's her but he needs to pretend banish her to give the poor scared party peace of mind. So it's just an over-the-top B horror movie camp.

Or is that too specific.

Balem / Unseelie Fae

[entitles]

Balem is a douchebag Unseelie fae lord who loves space and is pretty okay with other fae and pretty snobby towards anyone else. He's also really damn old (50,000) and has been in London for around 200 years, and before that places like Italy, France, Ancient Greece, and Ancient Egypt, if your character would have been in any of those places. He's arrogant as hell and enjoys art and manipulating others.

PLANS:

-Nothing set in stone for the rest of June, so feel free to suggest something!
-In July he's planning on getting the Unseelie on the map, probably going for Bexley because it's neutral and right next to Greenwich where his beloved Royal Observatory is.
-He's really angry about all the Night Council business, mostly because Circle Daybreak tries to keep fae out of their territory and he hates being told what to do, so he's going to be doing things (including any territory claims) just to stick it to them, pretty much.

DESIRED CR:

-Fae!
-Alliances with werewolves, circle midnight witches, and anyone else that feels scorned by the Night Council.
-Anyone who is also interested in space and star-related magic, he may grumpily mentor you.
-Baically anything, pre-existing or new, negative or positive, really.

[detectiveofthewest]

Sup Balem let's hang out and talk about fae junk.

Actually, if you were interested in a log with the other fae planning strategy and whatever for Bexley/Bromley, that might be cool. Presumably after they've gotten the OK from the Elites to put their plan into action, jaw about the other factions etc etc.

Abigail Widdowson - witch, Circle Midnight

[acrookedchild]

Abigail is a socialite with a family history of tragedy and dark magic. The Widdowsons are notorious for their connections to Circle Midnight and for the fact that they tend to die unexpectedly.

Abby's current goal is forming a coven for Circle Midnight. It will be officially started on June 25th.

She'll be throwing a party at Geap Manor on July 1st, where she'll announce the coven publicly.

Other than that, during June and July, I'm totally open for planning and CR establishing. Especially since her family's old society, even though she's been isolated since she was thirteen until about a year ago.

[jointheclub]

Lousy old society. Don't think Slughorn won't recognize that name and its histories! go go wizard snobbery

Kenzi | Circle Midnight | Witch

[kleptofaeniac]

Name: Kenzi Malikov
Faction: Witch, Circle Midnight
Info: Application and Permissions

In-Game So Far:

The most notable thing Kenzi has done so far is rob a dead girl, sell some fake art, dand upset several different people. So all in all, it's been an average month. I'm planning on there being a book that Kenzi thinks exists and can help her do advanced spellwork without being advanced in practice herself.

(AU Backstory is in the app!)

CR Ideas:

- Fellow black market people Kenzi can associate with or compete with!

- ex-associates, ex-bodyguards, ex-boyfriends. Basically people that used to work with Kenzi and have stopped for their own reasons

- Lawful good types trying to catch her. I'd love to have law enforcement tracking her down, trying to find her and coming close a la Javert. Give me your obsessives pls

- Flirting options (exclusively male unfortunately) and potential love interests?

- Anyone who wants to help her improve her magic?

- Clients!

- Any neg or pos CR.

Faction Stuff: So Kenzi herself isn't particularly motivated in politics and gaining ground Kenzi is reluctantly getting involved in establishing Circle Midnight with Abigail (acrookedchild) and Nancy (stauncherhearted) and will be becoming more active in underground politics. We'll see how that goes.

[detectiveofthewest]

Fae magic is clearly not witch magic, but Heiji might be able to help Kenzi out in that regard -- he's been around for a while, and he's also just naturally really good at things like illusion magic.

smh at her looting that vampire corpse though

Horace Slughorn / Circle Daybreak Witch

[jointheclub]

Slughorn! Probably the oldest witch in the UK at this point, and responsible for a great deal of witch politics for decades now. Possibly including the rise of one hell of a Dark Lord back in the WW2 days.

I have no specific plans for the old man, but in general:

Collecting. As in canon, Slughorn has connections and favors that stretch back, and rigidly maintains his acquisition of more by adding people to his personal circle if he believes knowing them will be advantageous -- or if they're just pretty awesome in some way. Despite what certain Chosen Ones might think, this really isn't reprehensible -- it's just Good Ol' Boy politics at play, more like a Skull and Bones Society than anything malefic. If your character has worthwhile connections or is useful or interesting, Slughorn will want you.

Unless he knows or suspects you're into dark magic. He doesn't want that.

Potions. Slughorn has opened an apothecarium, and so long as you're not gunning for Circle Daybreak or plotting evil, he has no problem selling potions to those in need.

Favor-trading. Half of the first and half of the second, Slughorn is willing to keep in people's good graces and keep favors coming his way by trading them out. A good deed here for a good deed there? You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours?

A Dark History. People versed in the lore of Circle Midnight might know that his talent and skill have been a desirable acquisition for decades.

CR I'm looking for:

-Really, pretty much anything at this point. He's barely established, so toss stuff at me and we'll see what sticks!

[livelongenough]

Since Slughorn is relatively older than most people, would you be interested in having Slughorn and Henry meet and say that they met last time Henry was in London? Which was probably 30+ years ago?

Sylvia Redbright (NPC)

[brightwitch]

Sylvia is a witch, and she's in charge of Circle Daybreak, the Night Council and the Redbright Institute. Last month the Redbright Institute successfully claimed the territory of Barnet, adding it to the green safe zone! That was an introductory territory claim and from now on I won't be making any claims as a mod. But of course Sylvia would absolutely support further expansion of her factions.

Here's a brief outline of Sylvia's overall strategy for the Redbright Institute:

• Extend the green safe zone to the north of London
• Take over disputed territories and make them peaceful
• Stamp out dark magic completely
• Eventually, negotiate with the vampires and werewolves to broker a peace agreement
• Support Circle Daybreak and Night Council where possible

And her strategy for Circle Daybreak:

• Make a slow expansion to gradually dominate the entire south of London
• Avoid pissing off the vampires unless they get aggressive
• Support Redbright Institute and Night Council where possible
• Aggressively squash any attempts by Circle Midnight to gain territory

Daybreak and Redbright characters, I fully encourage any future territory claims and/or countering the potential horrors of fae/Midnight power grabs. There's more information on Sylvia as a character here. Hit me up if you want CR!

[livelongenough]

This is just to remind myself: need to arrange a thread between Sylvia and Henry to discuss shifting his position IC after AC time if the necessary points are there for him.

Henry Morgan - meta human, Redbright

[livelongenough]

So! Henry is currently a teacher of mundane politics and history at Redbright Institute and looking to open his own practice for humans and supernatural creatures alike.

Within a few months, I'm planning on having him become, instead, the on-call physician at Redbright and a medical examiner with the Night Council as a Civil Servant.

He is an immortal like in his canon, and he's just recently back from time in NYC. I would love for older/immortal characters who might have seen him around years and years ago, etc, or students. Or, really, anyone who might come into his circle of influence.

[rules_winter]

I would love for them to have some sort of history even just in passing. I don't know how they would have met though he doesn't seem like the type to go to fae shindigs.

Lancelot (Meta Human, Circle Daybreak)

[knightscode]

Lancelot is brand new to the game, but not new to London! He lives and works as a police community support officer in South-West London, but likely kicks around travelling on days off etc. He was kidnapped away to the Seelie Court when he was young, after witnessing his family die in a horrible faction war, and after being dumped back had his memories locked away! Currently, he thinks he's just a plain old human and doesn't know the supernatural is real!

Thus:

June/July plans:

Find out about the Supernatural! Lancelot needs to have a close encounter of some sort to kick-start. I'm open to ideas! Traumatic, comical, awkward or otherwise!

Make friends! Since Lancelot, even after his memories have been unlocked, will still be pretty behind! His only knowledge will be wildly out of date and based around his time in the Seelie court. He'll need to read up and some coaching to make sure he doesn't get himself killed.

Investigating! Once he's realised what he's in for Lance will probably want to learn about the different factions, histories, etc! If you'd like to investigate too, he's your study buddy! If you want to fill in our resident Jon Snow and make faces at him, go ahead!

You Don't Belong Here: I figure with all his poking around he should mess up at least once and get on the wrong side of someone. If you want to chase him out or get into a fight with him, I'm open!

Cr With Me!

Lancelot is a community officer, so easily someone could have seen him around in the South-West before! He specifically works in Richmond!

He also has a big fluffy white Samoyed dog, which is probably recognisable if you walk around the area

He volunteers for the RSPCA! Do you like animals and volunteer too? You could be friends!

Do you have any fae-based history or ties? You might be able to sense the fae magic on him!

Are you in Circle Daybreak? He needs someone to recruit him officially once his memories are unlocked!

Do you want someone annoyingly nice to scowl at and roll your eyes at? He's your guy!

Do you just want a friend to be confused with? He's still your guy!

[detectiveofthewest]

Yo, if you need something supernatural to encounter, we could hash out something with Heiji, since he's... pretty supernatural. He might approach Lancelot at some point and realize oops, mistaken identity, it's just a human who got tapped by a fae or something :|a

Wanda Maximoff - changeling fae, Unseelie Court

[chosetofight]

So, Wanda.

Wanda was raised in a clinic setting by people promising her revenge for the destruction of her hometown. Unfortunately, what they actually taught her to do was kill for them. She and her brother broke free, but she thinks he's dead. She is a hunter by trade but will be integrating into the Unseelie Court.

Which I need to work on the hows. Ideas for connections to help pull her into the Courts and other associations are more than welcome.

I'm totally cool with negative and positive CR, so bring it on!

DEREK HALE | EAST END PACK / ALPHA

[viduation]

INFO: ( full | permissions )

As his namefield might suggest, Derek can be difficult to befriend. He's acerbic and temperamental and prone to either deadpanning or snarling, and all this loveliness is rounded off with being incredibly suspicious of basically everyone. Even when he starts to trust them. Maybe especially then. THAT SAID, Derek's incredibly protective, even of people he doesn't necessarily like, and he's a lot quicker to form bonds than he'd have you believe.

He's only been the alpha for two months now, following the death of the previous alpha and his second in command, who happened to be Derek's sister. Since then, he's been struggling between finding his feet as leader and also finding his sister's killer. He's not getting particularly far with either.

CURRENT PLANS:

• Continuing the ever-fruitless search for his sister's murderer.
  
• Helping out Circle Midnight with grabbing a territory! He is not going to directly involve his pack in this, but he will let them know that he's doing it.
  
• Attending the Circle Midnight party, since even werewolves have to keep up appearances.
  
• Possibly helping out the fae in their territory grab too? I AM NOT SURE but he might get roped into both, same as above pack-wise.
  
• THE BAREFOOT CONTESSA Derek's going to want to fight the vampire countess that's visiting this month! He's probably going to run in alone, get his ass kicked, and reluctantly work with others. (I need to hit that post still but he will be involved)

CR IDEAS:

• If your character has knowlege of the supernatural community, then they might be aware of the Hale family - an old and relatively prestigious clan of werewolves - the recent murder of Derek's sister and the fact that he's searching for information, or even that he's recently stepped up as alpha/there's a new alpha in power.
  
• and AS BEFORE, Derek contacting a character in a bid to try and get information about his sister is always a possibility. If your character is well connected, he might seek them out!
  
• Conflict/enemies! While he's making more of an effort now, Derek is still laughably easy to goad into a fight. People who would butt heads with him, whether it leads to a lasting grudge or not, are more than welcome to apply! Maybe you've got beef with werewolves. Maybe you're a hunter he can't trust. Maybe you're just as great at picking fights as he is.
  
• Alliances/friends??? Derek's unexpectedly landed himself in with Circle Midnight, but despite his lacking personality he's willing to network when he has to. From a pack point of view, he'll be looking for anyone that can provide for his group, whether it's information or just having each other's backs. Mutual benefit will also mean he trusts it more. Alternatively, maybe your character gets on well with tough assholes?
  
• ANYTHING honestly feel free to hit me up I am still hungry like the wolf

SHARED CR?

Derek has been in London for a couple of years now, and I'm absolutely down for plotting previous run ins with new characters! As stated above, people are welcome to have some kind of knowledge of Derek/his family/his position/his manpain.

FACTION PLANS:

For June, Derek is focused on keeping his pack together and finding allies/connections. In July/August, he might go for a territory grab! His eyes will be on either Havering or Greenwich, the latter of which is currently contested. But yolo, right? He's unlikely to just hit people up like HEY ALLY WITH US, but I'm totally amenable to figuring something out.

[detectiveofthewest]

Sup sup, so in light of their recent conversation, you can count Heiji in to help Derek with any territory grabs. I think that at the point in their current thread, Heiji's not dead set on participating on the whole territory thing. However! He could somehow get a hold of Derek's contact info (maybe through Stiles) and talk about it at some point?

Since Derek didn't try to eat his face or anything.

Sirius Black - Shapeshifter/Hillingdon Clan.

[constantprisoner]

Sirius is new to the game, and has recent returned to London after escaping prison, which is where he's been for the past twelve years after being framed for a murder he didn't commit. If you were part of the supernatural community then, you probably heard about it and I'm sure nasty rumours have also come up now and again. His name would be known both from his infamy and because he comes from a rather prominent Shapeshifter family.

CR Plans:
-Re-establishing Sirius. He doesn't really know much about the outside world and what's been happening having been locked up for so long. He needs information and allies. (I am cool with new friendships or pre-established ones)
-Reconnecting with the Hillingdon Clan. After falling out with his family, Sirius kind of drifted away from the clan, so getting him back in in some way would be great.
-He'll likely be at the Circle Midnight party, but more out of the need to steal food.
-He has an intro post Here

[detectiveofthewest]

Heiji is a fairly recent move to London, so he's probably only heard of Sirius's family in passing, if at all :|a. However, I am kind of interested in the way they're both shapeshifters, and Heiji certainly doesn't mind giving people the lowdown.

So yeah, looking forward to how our current thread unfolds :)

Jennifer Walters | Werewolf | East End Pack

[mucknoodles]

So Jen's fresh on the block here! Her background is she's a lawyer(/werewolf) with her own practice located in Bromley! She mainly handles supernatural community cases, either those between supernatural and supernatural or those between supernatural and non-supernatural that needs to keep the super aspect hush hush. When she's really strapped for cash she takes straight up human cases, but they're not her favorite to deal with.

Established CR??

♦️She's a werewolf from a long line of werewolves so werewolf bros come at me!
♦️She's a werewolf from a long line of werewolves so anyone who might have dealings with well-established werewolf families come at me??
♦️School friends/acquaintances! Jen's a social...bulldozer. So even though she's 31 now and has been out of school for six years, if she knew you in school at any level chances are she's kept up with you. She's on your supernatural Facebook. Liking your posts...!
♦️Former clients! Jen worked at an established firm for three years before starting her own practice which she's been happily running for the last three years. Parking ticket disputes to murder charges, it could have been anything.
♦️Or maybe she was the opposition in court against you and made your life hard, oops.
♦️Bar buddies/enemies! Jen likes to party. People congregate in bars. She goes to bars. Anything from drinking or arm wrestling friends to people she got into scuffles with (maybe she scuffles with you on a regular basis).
♦️If there's something else you can think of hit me up I'm open!

Current Plans

♦️Going to that party!

I'll poke around here and there, but feel free to throw things at me laughs.

[jointheclub]

Slughorn has an information network of sorts, after all; perhaps he's heard of her through it? She sounds like someone worth collecting, to him...

Uchiha Sasuke | Hillingdon Clan | Metahuman

[eyeforaneye]

Current

Right, so Sasuke is right now a senior clan member and is attaining/maintaining that status by starting to supply weapons for the clan. He's got the contacts and can definitely keep the ball rolling for lowered prices. He's just had his first up and personal contact with vampires (which was NOT enjoyable), is partnering with Heiji to pitch the fae-Hillingdon alliance, is starting classes at the Redbright Institute, and works for Apollo Justice at his law offices. He's also training his skills which are largely fire- and electricity-based.

Future

I'd love to expand his cr to include more factions! He's pretty open to talking to whomever since he doesn't have the personal grudges that a lot of others do, being new to the Underground society and all. He wouldn't be opposed to doing business with them too in terms of weapons and supplies, though they won't get the rad Hillingdon discount.

Wanted CR/Past Connections

I cannot even tell you how open I am to plotting on either of these fronts. I genuinely want all kinds of CR and I generally put Sasuke in situations where he is as far from dignified as you can get, so come at me. My Skype and AIM are both pyrrhicbattles and my plurk is pyrrhic! I have my friend button hidden so feel free to private plurk me so we can kind of introduce ourselves and kind of get the ball rolling!

This icon is my real personality.

[jointheclub]

I feel like "weapon and supplies" procuring would be pretty likely to cross over with "potions" at some point, perhaps? They are both businessmen, at least as a hobby!

Clive Dove - Human, Redbright

[vengefulyears]

Clive is a member of the outreach group at Redbright Institute as well as an investigative journalist who is a London native, but has only known about the supernatural world for a few years. Feel free to check out his app for the full rundown on his character, plus his permissions post.

I just got accepted today so I don't have a whole lot of plans yet, but one thing I know for sure is that he's going to be at the Litha feast on the 21st as an unwilling contestant. I'm going to assume that he was kidnapped by an NPC fae by default, but if anyone wants to play the role of his kidnapper then feel free to hit me up for that!

Otherwise I'm totally open to any and all shared or fresh CR. Some specific types of CR that I'm looking for, but definitely not limited to these:

• Fellow humans, journalists, or Redbright employees/allies
  
• Black market types, human or supernatural
  
• Drinking buddies or even gambling buddies, Clive likes to hang out at casinos sometimes
  
• Any supernatural troublemakers that Clive can harass/has harassed in the past

Re: Clive Dove - Human, Redbright

[detectiveofthewest]

CLLLIIIIIIIIVE let's set up something at once, not tomorrow though I'm helping out at a taikai.

Picnics? Journalism? Something?

captain homer jackson | witch | circle daybreak

[damnyank]

This is Captain Homer Jackson, aka, he who fulfills the stereotype of mouthy and crude American. He's also a borderline alcoholic, a gambler and card fixer, and licentious enough to live in a brothel!

In canon, he lives in Victorian England, working as a surgeon for the division in charge of the Jack the Ripper investigation. I've transposed him to modern day, where he now works as a forensic pathologist for the MET at Leman Street. He's a witch by blood, but identifies primarily as a member of the mundane world.

NOTES
I'm very open to developing pre-established CR! Here's a bit more about Jackson:

Jackson has very bad blood with vampires.
He betrayed a good friend of his, Frank Goodnight, and sold out the location of his nest to hunters. They were a violent and infamous group of vampires in Chicago. Your character may have heard of them, their swift downfall, and perhaps the rumors of an American witch at the heart of it.

He'd look for allies who'd be good to have on his side, should Frank come looking for him.

He has a large bounty on his head.
And indeed, Frank is out to make his life hell, so your character may have gotten a bounty notice & picture for "MATTHEW JUDGE." Returned alive only. Jackson goes by a fake name now, but he hasn't changed his face.

Enemies who figure him out & threaten to give him away are always welcome! 8D

Jackson's been working forensics in Whitechapel for the past year and a half.
If your character has ties to the human police force, you may have heard of him. Or maybe you've come under the radar of his division for a crime. Or maybe you're a cop too!

Employment History
He was an army surgeon in Iraq. He worked for the Pinkertons ( in UG: a modern, supernatural offshoot of that infamous American detective agency), who are described as "mercenaries with badges" in canon. He also had a stint doing "supernatural forensics" for the Midwest American equivalent of the Night Council.

PLANS
— Trying to figure out his place in the London Underground. He's a part of Circle Daybreak, but by name only. He doesn't associate with his coven very much.
— Diverting and covering up supernatural cases that land in the hands of the Leman Street Police Station. It'd be fun to play this out!
— He lives in a brothel and is sort of the caretaker of it at the moment. Tenter street's always looking for employees and clients!
— Partners in iniquity, boozing, whoring, and gambling!
— Anything and everything.

[mucknoodles]

Did you say cover ups.... Jen is a lawyer, but does take cases where the supernatural aspects have to be covered up. There's that countess around town right now causing lots of murders. Would something like covering up one of the Countess's minion's murders in Jackson's jurisdiction sound good? Jen could be the lawyer tapped to convict the guy, but obviously she can't submit supernatural evidence to court...

Barring that she likes drinking laughs.

grimmjow jaegkjsbekfjsbg | shifter | hillingdon

[jaguara]

look the joke about his last name being changed several times will never get old to me

THE RUNDOWN
     ➧info
     Grimmjow has spent his life gallivanting around the globe, killing people, hunting things, the family business hunting supernatural bounties and generally leaving a trail of dead bodies behind him. And one time, he's pretty sure he ate one of them, but that's neither nor there. He keeps telling himself that London is just a pit-stop in his long line of country-hopping, but with all the supernatural activity here, he keeps finding reasons to stay.

Aggressive, snarky, and always looking for a good time, if you need someone to kill indiscriminately or to jump in the middle of a fight, he's your guy.

AND ON THIS MONTH'S EPISODE...
     ➧Grimm just got here to London (just got here = 6 months ago), but he's probably swung by before when he was younger. If you've heard of a supernatural bounty hunter with a preference for bringing their marks back dead, that was probably him (or his mom). He's basically still getting his footing, making contacts, and things like that. And, of course, always looking for trouble.

NEXT TIME--!
     ★CR ideas
          ➧more hillingdon interactions! grimmjow's whole posse was just killed two years ago and he kinda liked having a crew.
          ➧other shifters or even werewolves! grimmjow would honestly make the change permanent if he didn't like alcohol so much and he were a less rare animal. he also seems to be able to get along with werewolves, despite their whole rigid pack attitude and the dog smell.
          ➧do you also like to get in trouble? lET'S FUCK EVERYTHING UP
          ➧vampires need not apply. unless you want some neg CR, in which case BRING IT ON!! grimmjow hates vamps and not even because they did something to him personally. it's more like he thinks they're all egomaniac assholes and he'd rather see them as smear underneath his boot.

     ★Character planning
          ➧basically, i'd like grimmjow to eventually establish himself as muscle for hire. he's not into the political climate NOW, but if he ends up liking the clan, he'll become more and more loyal to them only. otherwise, he'd be completely up for helping whichever side pays him most. vamps will get an asshole fee tacked onto his original asking price uvu
          ➧i'd like to also try to get into the royal vampire plot, but since it's like a week away, MAYBE IVE COME IN TOO LATE???
          ➧that's all i got for now..............

[mucknoodles]

Jen likes having a good time and is also a werewolf! Meet up in a bar and somehow end up fighting vampire minions of the Countess in town together? She can maybe pull some of her connections and get him a reward for "protecting the local population" or something laughs.

Nancy "Fagin" | Witch | Circle Midnight

[stauncherhearted]

Name Nancy Fagin
Faction Witch, Circle Midnight
Info app, permissions

Nancy is a young witch who was born and raised in London. She was raised by a slimy Unseelie Fae named Fagin, and she grew up to be a thief, prostitute, and blood-worker. Thanks, dad. Fagin himself was a fence (sold stolen goods) and worked in the black market of the underground. He also has a gang of prepubescent boys that steal for him. It's not good.

She's generally very friendly and easy to talk to, Nancy's the girl you want on your side. She's stubborn as hell and loyal to boot. She's also a bit of an alcoholic, WHOOPS. She's very much a neutral party, despite working with Circle Midnight. She tries not to get involved in picking sides, if she can help it. Yeah.

Plans

-Somehow she's being dragged along to starting a proper Circle Midnight coven.
-And she'll be attending that party.
-Making sure Stiles doesn't get himself killed.
-That's it.

CR Ideas

Faebow Connection I'd love for her to have some Fae connections. She wasn't exactly a secret, Fagin pretty much collects kids. So if anyone would have reason to deal with a mad-shady character like him, maybe you knew her. Or at least of him.

Sex, blood & rock n' roll She's been working for some time, so if there's any chance your vamp would want to borrow her for a either a night or a bite, I'm totally down. Anyone, of course, is welcome.

More Witches! maybe you bought some magic drugs from her. or maybe you met her through some witchy shindig. Other Circle Midnighters are more than welcome. Daybreaks may also apply.

Negative Nancy Negative CR? Yes please! It's some of the best. Ex-friends that fell apart, one of you screwed the other over, she stepped on your toe? Seriously does not matter At all.

etc., BRING EVERYTHING ON.

[jointheclub]

Slughorn doesn't approve of this whole 'Circle Midnight, dark magic' business, but as one of the rare Daybreak witches, perhaps he can provide an example to her of how to get stuff done without going down dark paths OR being a goody-two-shoes.

Faolan | Human (hunter) | Hillingdon

[reticence]

Faolan is a gruff and standoffish hunter with the Hillingdon clan. He's been doing this hunter thing for a while now (10 years of his adult life or so, to be exact) so he's gotten to be pretty good at what he does. He's new to the game but not new to the city, although he originally hails from Ireland, and despite having relocated a while ago and never having gone back, he still maintains the accent and is basically really Irish (Faolan O'Neill I mean come on, really now). He came from a family of hunters although his entire family was slain by vampires - it's a long story but to make it sort, he doesn't like vampires very much. He doesn't kill them on sight but he only needs so much reason. Similarly, he's fairly hard-hitting for other supernaturals as well. There's basically no such thing as a second chance in his book. He has a secret soft side (he went to school for music!) but on the outside he's also tough as nails.

PLANS/DESIRED CR:

Interactions with Hillingdon hunters - Faolan would have been around for a while there now but it's totally reasonable that, if they predate him, he just wouldn't have been sociable enough to talk to them until this point >>

Interactions with supernaturals - good, bad, ugly! COME AT ME I am one of those odd ducks that really does enjoy some good negative CR. Faolan certainly enjoys growling at people haha.

Fri...ends for him? Despite everything I said about him being gruff and scary, he does have the secret softy side, and idk how long it would take for someone to discover/tap into that, but I'd love it if at least someone eventually discovered it :')a

IDEK BEYOND THAT I AM TOTALLY OPEN HAVE AT ME I WANT YOUR CR!!!

[detectiveofthewest]

I am not sure what Sasuke-mun's plans are for Hillingdon (if any), however Heiji is interested in making contact with Faolan's clan. So we could try and see if they hit it off?

trevor | hunter, hillingdon

[crystalmethod]

SO. HI. trevor's really not all that different from his canon iteration aside from the fact he moved to london semi-recently and is still getting used to the supernatural shenanigans.

plans

as far as planning for june i don't have much solidified aside from him ramming his car into the countess' vampire headquarters. if you'd like a particular scene after he smashes his car into the building that'd be great, and i'm open to, say, your character deciding he has an amazing idea, this whole ramming thing, and deciding to join him. anarchyyyy

cr desired

- people to get in fights with.
- people to get drunk with.
- people to get drunk with, then get into a fight with.
- people to boss around employees! trevor's always on the lookout for those who wish to dabble in crime, or are too naive to realize what they're getting into and he's able to rope into working for him. he runs a drug/weapons trade business, so if you'd like your character to get in on that let me know. right now he just has nux working for him.

really tho i'm not picky about anything and if you have a random idea of your own throw it at me.

Re: trevor | hunter, hillingdon

[detectiveofthewest]

....is it okay if when trevor drives into the HQ, Heiji jumps onto the roof of his car

[rules_winter]

So, Mab is new to the game as of last week. She is a winter fae who isn't great at pop culture. She is spending a lot of time networking right now. But I hope to expand on that soon.

Here's what she wants to do (or I want her to do) in the next month or two:

• Lend some assistance in the territory claims, to give her some goodwill with her fellow fae (and because it benefits her)
• Attending Heiji's little get together.
• Establish a home for herself in the Other Realm
• Start meeting non fae who will be useful to her.
• She will eventually want to move up to Lady of Winter, but I want to get a feel for things before I really dig in and start trying to accumulate heavy power (ie: get a few minions and make more connections)
• Get herself some minions, specifically Grimalkin (A lynx size fae cat)

CR I'm looking for:

• If you have something said out in public that a pixie might overhear let me know if you want the info passed on to Mab. Gimme all your secrets *grabby hands*
• Meet any Fae she hasn't yet met.
• I would love for her to save someone's life, just for word to get out that she can. You would have to swear loyalty to her, though she might let the wording be sketchy so you can wiggle out of it. It helps her own ends right now. And you'll owe her a Favor just fair warning. Also it'll hurt like hell. But if anyone gets hurt in an upcoming territory dispute or something else let me know if you want assistance.
• She still wants to meet anyone with powers.
• She needs a BFF. Not because they'll actually be her friend but some human she can dupe into service of taking her stupid places like cafes and clubs and other places so she can fail miserably at being human while learning to be human-like.
• Anyone who wants to have known of her before anywhere or wants to have a history with her, let me know :)
• I'm free for other ideas! I'm kind of wiped out as I just got off work so my brain isn't as creative as it might be.

[detectiveofthewest]

Nothing in particular in the works right now, but looking forward to that continued CR :|b.

CLARA SEVILLE ;; GHOST, REDBRIGHT AFFILIATED

[warmheartedly]

NAME;; Clara Seville
SPECIES;; Ghost
FACTION;; Redbright Institute
INFORMATION;; [ APP ] | [ PERMISSIONS ]

SUMMARY;; Clara is a friendly ghost who has been haunting London since the 1990s! Originally an apartment complex, her haunting spot is now a trendy coffee shop and she's been around long enough to gain control of her powers to leave her original domain and explore the city. Can you blame her not wanting to be stuck in a Starbucks-esque place 24/7 can you I thought so. She spends most of her time hanging out with people she likes and fussing over her only living relative/anchor left, Magra Seville who is part of the Redbright Institute due to being a metahuman. Meaning yes Clara likes to go the school at times to check on her.

CR PLANS;;

→ THE CLINIC in which she helps Dr. Henry Morgan in solving the mystery of the suspiciously nice clinic that people are claiming can do miracle cures. She's spying on it and will be reporting back what she finds there because she can't help but have this nagging doubt about what it claims it really is.

→ BLOODY COUNTESS in which she ends up involved in it when Magra is kidnapped by Carmilla before the final showdown with her. She panics and causes trouble with her powers when her emotions overwhelm her, attracting people's attention. Heiji, Eren, and Clara are going to rescue the poor girl while later on Dr. Henry Morgan will check up on Magra after for wounds or signs of injuries. I just like making Clara sad okay.

→ ANCHORS AWAY in which she and Aradia try to learn more about ghostly things like anchors and then some to learn more about themselves. I hear ghostly hipster music playing in the distance as I type this.

→ AND EVERYTHING NICE...ISH I'm hoping to aim for her to meet new people and forge more relationships, positive or not, with the new characters here! I'm also planning to flesh out more of the reasons why Clara is still lingering on the living side when, by all accounts, she should be at peace.

CR IDEAS;;

Some things I mentioned in the past that I'm interested in trying out in the future!

→ OLD CONNECTIONS because like I said she's been around for a looong time since she moved to London around the late 1960s - early 1970s. She would have had the ability to move beyond her haunting spot by the mid 2000s and began to really explore what's out there. I can see her making friends with mediums who wish her to do no harm or metahumans who aren't scared of her presence and even a fae or two if they so desire.

→ SPYING POTENTIAL because I love the idea of a ghostly little old granny taking notes of a conversation and relaying the information to her handler and then going, 'And they didn't wash their hands when they came out of the stall. Just headed straight back to the table and touched the tea. I never.' But seriously -- I would love for her to be involved in the game and her being a spy for a faction would be a good way for her to enter. Since she's a ghost, she's invisible to most people and she has a great memory meaning she can remember a lot of stuff to give back to people. This can be either with her consent, for Redbright's sake or for her friends, or against her will, someone threatening to hurt her loved ones or binding her to do their bidding. I'm up for it going either way!

→ TOO SPOOKY because sometimes Clara has bad days and she loses control of her powers when she's in the coffeeshop, causing the lightbulbs to go out and machines to break and things like that. Anyone is welcomed to investigate these matters since this is kind of a regular happening at her shop and the shop itself has a reputation of being haunted ever since it opened.

→ AND EVERYTHING ELSE HERE I'm so up for her having positive CR to negative CR. Clara isn't really part of a faction, heavily affiliated with Redbright but what can she really do about that, so she merrily floats around minding her own business so I can see her getting involved in things by accident or so.

[rules_winter]

Holy yes ghost spy. We have got to get her and Mab to meet. Which we will even if Mab can't make her a spy. But still, now I feel all greedy. Is it bad that Mab doesn't care what faction anyone is with? LOL I'm sure once she's into more of the politics it will make more of a difference.

malia tate, shapeshifter (coyote), ally to east end pack

[tippytoes]

ABOUT:

Malia is a shapeshifter, and her animal form is a coyote. Up until just recently she's been mostly living on the streets of London in her coyote body, taking only the occasional moment to shift back into her human form, mostly to keep herself from going feral. She's now an ally to the East End pack via her cousin, Derek, with whom she reunited with roughly at the end of May.

CR PLANS:
Malia is brand new to the game, and as a result I don't have much in the way of plans for her. However, there are a few things!

-I plan on getting her involved with the Vampire Countess plot as soon as I can find the OOC plotting post for that! Malia likes to punch first and ask questions never, plus she really doesn't like vampires so this plot is perfect for her.
-Integrating herself more with the East End pack! Have an East End werewolf or ally? Let's do stuff!

IDEAS:
Again, Malia is brand spankin' new, so I don't have much. Here's the few ideas I do have.

-More people other than Stiles to help her get used to society. He's a terrible moral compass.
-She doesn't have too many good thoughts about other shapeshifters/the Hillingdon Clan, but there were a couple of people who helped her out a few months after her mother was murdered, helping her gain control and outfitting her with clothes and a place to sleep if she needs it. I'd prefer a shapeshifter or two for this, but anyone will do!
-Malia's also spent a lot of time as a coyote. People who've discovered her (for good or bad) wandering in this form prior to her are always welcome!

I think that's everything; if you guys have anything you'd like Malia for let me know! Right now, I'm fairly open to everything.

[detectiveofthewest]

If you'd like, once they get acquainted, Heiji might be able to help with the getting used to society thing although he's not even human. he does hang out with them a lot, though! or hanging out in their other forms or something. malia sounds fun :V.

Willard Wright / Hunter, Hillingdon

[alethiological]

Info: Hey look there's a bunch of shiny links here that have words on them. Tldr head hunter murderboss of a psycho cult branch over in America; off the job is a really irritated mother hen to dumb teenagers and bad life choice makers the city over. May or may not also be a really irritated mystery writer. WHO KNOWS!!! (he is)

Current Stuff: During midlate June there's a small hunt going down with Clint, Ringer, and some tiny little ASSHOLE, but the Shenanigans that go down due to that make him all but useless for the remainder of June. And he's getting lectured by Clara at some point after that for maximum points.

Plans: But hey! Due to that combination of the above, halfassing is No Longer Acceptable, so July is going to be a month of actually dealing with Hillingdon and all of the crazy dumbasses in it. So probably a rank up, a minion, and some murder. You know, the usual. On top of all the territory grabs going down during July, late-July/August is probably going to shift into making Hillingdon get off its flighty ass and deal with the political nonsense going down instead of just punching randoms. Maybe I'll even do an open post?? The possibilities are endless.

CR Ideas:
• Hillingdon get over here. Particularly in late-June/early-august, he'll have switched from stonewalling everyone who tried to speak with him to Actively Participating in conversations.
• So hey any characters from America, if you were in the northeast area particularly Massachusetts, the Wright surname/title thing might be familiar. Oops.
• MORE SUPERNATURALS! He's less of a bastard when he's not rocking the cult badge and forcing him into social situations is hilarious for everyone. Go for it.
• especially not-midnight witches he really needs to stop being racist its rude as hell
• Mystery dorkssss. Since he'd be kicking up the Hunter gig into high gear starting mid-June, pointed reminders are necessary to remember Hobbies Are A Thing. Worst writer.
• bonus points if they know his alias, it only turns up in literary magazines so expert-level nerds only
• PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE no lie I will just hoard all the CR if I'm given the chance don't test me

also re: the Test Drive threesome, if you want to keep the TDM + build off of what was there, poke me here and lets punch each other lovingly

[detectiveofthewest]

Mmm let's see, I guess introductions, take two? I know we mentioned something about that a while back, though I suppose by now Heiji's heard about the outcast thing.

Aradia Megido / Ghost / Circle Midnight

[megidoomed]

godddd I suppose I should show up :I

INFO -App annnd permissions, + my navigation's on my profile.

CURRENT -Getting lectured politely talked to by Clara about getting her butt an Anchor
-Worrying about her flesh-and-blood roomie due to him getting his ass kicked (later in the month)
-Might be helping in the Circle Midnight and Seelie Fae territory claims, due to CR! :D

IDEAS - I'm pretty much open to anything. She's a nosy little shit and adamantly fond of befriending random people, that makes for interesting combinations. Additionally, she's willing to put her ghostly powers to nefarious use if someone gives her a reason to. Hit me.

PREVIOUS HISTORY - Again, open to anything. Specifically, Aradia used to be a teenaged-medium-for-hire for most of her life, up until she died two years ago. Her rates were also dirt cheap due to said age limit, so if your character needed a quick seance, she could've helped. Other then that, she's lived in London all her life. Folks may have seen her around (or heard of her sister, Damara - who is kind of a bitch. A destructive, sex-drugs-and-black-magic bitch)!

Additionally, I still really want someone to be her murderer, provided you don't mind. possible eventual REVEEENGE being a thing. HIT ME UP PLEASE

[detectiveofthewest]

let's rock out and grab some territories B).

I think Heiji would be interested to know in the whole former-medium thing so they really should meet up again at some point and chat!
