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!

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

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 :)

[constantprisoner]

I'd assume he's heard of them in passing, yeah. At least in shapeshifter circles (though they would deny any association with Sirius to be honest).

But yes, that should be interesting.

[detectiveofthewest]

Well okay then :)

Always like to check when it comes to these things...

[acrookedchild]

Abby and Sirius need to hang. She was 7 when he went away, so she'd have heard about it. And they totally need to start spending time together.

[constantprisoner]

Yes, absolutely. He needs friends.

[acrookedchild]

So does she. She is honestly in a position where she will take any friend/ally, even ones other people wouldn't consider reputable. ...As long as they don't terrify her first or run afoul of her admittedly sharp temper.

She didn't go out much anyway, then she was basically shut in the house alone with her 'uncle' from 13 to 18. "Well adjusted" is not her.

[brightwitch]

How would you feel about there being a bounty on Sirius' head? Also Sylvia was in charge of the Night Council when he got put away, so it's quite possible that she was involved in sentencing him! (She'll think he's a dangerous escaped murderer...)

[constantprisoner]

Doesn't everybody? Haha.

I'm not opposed to the idea, as long as it doesn't prevent him from doing too much. What sort of bounty would it be?

[brightwitch]

Money, most likely. If Sirius was in prison outside of London, then the bounty may not go out across the city immediately so that could give him a bit of breathing space. If you wanted, he could hear about the bounty via the Hillingdon Clan? Then his own clan would need to decide whether to turn him in and claim the bounty or not...

[constantprisoner]

Both of those ideas sound good to me. I am hoping to have him make contact with the Hillingdon Clan soon so that works.

[brightwitch]

Great, feel free to go ahead with it!
