CR Planning: July 2015

Welcome to the Underground! Newbies, we're very excited to have you! As mentioned in the calendar, there will be a welcome log posted on the 19th for newbies and current players alike to mingle. However, don't feel that you can't post until then, feel free to jump in right away! In the meantime, this post is a free-for-all for everyone to make new CR and figure out how to get involved with the game.

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.

The plotting post for July is still live with a couple of prompts left to claim, so please do feel free to use it!

I also want to add a quick reminder about the HMD meme that went up a couple of days ago, and in particular my request for feedback on the game. I've had a lot of great feedback already and am very happy to hear more suggestions, whether you've just joined or you've been around since the beginning. I will be starting to make the changes discussed from this weekend onwards, and more input is always welcome.

In the meantime, happy planning!

Sylvia Redbright (NPC) | Witch

[brightwitch]

Sylvia is a witch, and she's in charge of Circle Daybreak, the Night Council and the Redbright Institute. It's probably safe to say that she is not a happy bunny right now. In the last couple of weeks, Circle Midnight openly declared a coven and claimed the territory of Enfield. Then the Seelie and Unseelie Courts took over both Bromley and Bexley. From Sylvia's perspective, all of those things are Not Good.

As previously mentioned, I won't be making any territory claims as a mod. But of course ICly it would make absolute sense for Sylvia to react to these events so if anyone wants to make a territory claim on behalf of Circle Daybreak or the Redbright Institute, she would definitely be in favour. Until that happens, I'm assuming that she will keep an eye on the situation as it develops, and possibly bide her time with info-gathering. Spies and double agents could be a thing here. Bring me your ideas and I will be happy to discuss!

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

There's more information on Sylvia as a character here. Hit me up if you want CR!

I'm just... apologizing right now. For everything. Haha.

And throwing in that: DOUBLE AGENTS, YES PLEASE. I mean, obviously, you and I won't have that CR, but. I just want to say here that I totally encourage spying/double-agenting in either direction between the Circles. Because it'd be awesome.

[brightwitch]

Not at all, it's great! This is what drives the game plot, after all. And yay double agents!

[acrookedchild]

Still apologizing for the force of chaos (...even though she's Seelie..) Azula is going to cause. but that's what makes things fun

[chronobreak]

I'd actually like to make a territory claim for Redbright and I'm all in favor of spies and double agents. Ekko's ability isn't particularly fight focused, but he could definitely be used as a spy.

[brightwitch]

Awesome, go for it. In terms of spying, Sylvia would be interested in finding out what's going on with both Circle Midnight in Enfield and the fae in Bromley/Bexley. It seems kind of awful to send a teenager into fae territory, but either way if you wanted him to snoop around I'd suggest talking to the relevant characters! Lynn acrookedchild just said she'd be open to spies and double agents.
