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!

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.

/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.

[detectiveofthewest]

Yeeeees oh my god that would be amazing

[warmheartedly]

PERFECT. THESE TWO I SWEAR.

I will make it my life's mission to have a part where Clara literally is wearing a bedsheet over here with holes cut inside of it. I will if you're cool with that if not that's fine but if you are fine with that my life's mission.

YES clara, a ghost after my own heart c:
