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!

Henry Morgan | metahuman, Redbright Institute/Night Council

[livelongenough]

Character & background: Henry Morgan is a doctor who's been alive for 235 years. He found out he was an immortal when, at 35, he was shot by the captain of a slave ship. Since then, he hasn't aged. He's been involved in both World Wars as a medic, and he's moved between New York and London frequently, as well as a few other places when he's been recognised. Mostly, though, he gravitates toward those cities. He is constantly seeking something new, something to remind him that life is still worth living.

So far, he's gone from taking a position at Redbright Institute to teach politics and history to being an on-call physician and member of the outreach program. He's also taken up a post at Scotland Yard through the Night Council as a medical examiner. He usually pokes his nose where it shouldn't be, having worked with a New York detective and gotten a real taste for crime solving.

Plans: Right now, Henry's pretty content where he is. He's on a bit of a high from a case he found himself on (and dragged a few other people into), so he's content with his typically boring medical examiner's job.

Wanted CR:
- Friends: Henry isn't too social of a creature by most standards, but he learned to be a little better at it from his time in New York. He hasn't actively engaged in trying to find social circles, but I'd love to find a few people who would pique his interest enough in things to have him seek out their company.
- Enemies: Henry's working for the Night Council. That's bound to make a few people uneasy, I'm sure, and I'd love to see things happen because of it. He hasn't done much to make enemies yet, but I'm happy to see how we can change that.
- Immortals: In general, Henry is very new to knowing about the supernatural. I'd love to see him get more involved with other immortals, be they fae, fellow metahumans, or vampires.
- Anything else: I really am open to a lot. If there's something specific you want and none of the above appeal to you, let me know. I'm sure we can work something out.

I think we discussed on my intro about Henry having known Liam during one of the wars? I am definitely down with Henry being very confused about the tiny freckled vampire who looks exactly like the weird tiny freckled medic he used to know.

[acrookedchild]

That would totally work. Though at least he wouldn't be extremely confused since he's learned there are more supernatural creatures and other immortals than just him.

[iceolationqueen]

I'd still like to do that thread of them having tea at some point! Maybe end of this month or beginning of next?

[divinerighttorule]

I'd love to, definitely.

[vampiracy]

HMM I'm pretty new but they could have some immortal cr? I wanted to see this show because I love Ioan's face, so instead of that maybe I can just get some cr with the char C: KJ is 300ish and maybe they could have met in the past and re-meet, which sort of gives both of them away at the same time? Hook would probably assume he's a vampire at first, could be interesting!

[livelongenough]

I would love that. I always like the idea of Henry meeting people he'd come across in the past.

[vampiracy]

Any place in particular you have in mind?

[livelongenough]

Hm. Is Killian the type to enjoy culture? Because Henry loves music, theatre, etc.

[vampiracy]

Not necessarily BUT his sire was, so, he went to all sorts of those things with her. They could have met that way!

[blind_badass]

A member of the outreach program? I think Snake needs some of that. He also needs a doctor, if Henry has any skill with prosthetics.

[livelongenough]

Henry's worked with vets a lot, actually! He was a medic in the world wars and continued to practice actively until the 40s, I believe. And then he's been a medical examiner, so... all of that!

But yes. Outreach/doctor, right here.

[blind_badass]

Awesome! Snake can fiddle with his prosthetic to a small degree but since he's blind, he wouldn't be able to tell if there was a serious problem.
