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!

Azula | fae, Seelie Court

[divinerighttorule]

Character & background: Azula is a Seelie fae from an Asian court that spans several countries without belonging to any one place. She is, technically, in London to experience other cultures and expand on the political and social training her father and tutors have provided her with so far. She has rarely left Asia, but she has been around for 1500 years. She hails from the Dragon Court, which is made up entirely of fire and lightning based fae. She likes to make deals with humans and is usually fiar in what she asks for. However, trying to get out of a deal usually results in the forfeit of the soul of the person trying to back out of it.

Since Azula is a newcomer, she's only loosely connected with everything. She is a Seelie here, so she does consider herself part of the court. However, she's also aware she's still very much a foreigner.

Plans: Right now, Azula's getting her bearings. She's checking out the other factions, trying to decide where things stand. Which means she's not pleased with Redbright and Daybreak, as they're locking the Doors to the Other Realm. She's contemplating infiltrating Redbright come the fall term if she can manage to figure out a way for them to take her. Her hopes aren't high there.

The longer Azula is around, however, the higher her ambitions are going to rise. She has been trained to be a monarch and a conquerer, and she may eventually decide that she wants London for herself, at the very least as a Seelie. That's a long way down the road, but it's possible.

Wanted CR:
Allies: Azula is going to try and make "friends." That actual term will take a lot of work to get to, but she will play at being much more fond of someone than she actually is to get her way. Or to try and pass herself off as a witch or metahuman. Overall, Azula is going to try and worm her way into as many sects as she can so she has a fly on every wall.
Enemies: Naturally, Azula (when she really speaks her mind) is an abrasive personality, especially with anyone who proves to not be useful or who crosses her early on. I fully expect her to have a good deal of negative CR, especially as she begins setting her sights higher.
Victims: Azula very much likes power and having power over people. So she makes deals with mortals easily. Usually, she sets the stakes low. A few simple transactions to make herself seem much more trustworthy and easy to work with. As time wears on, however, her prices will increase or become more and more vague. So, of course, I'd love people who might be interested in dealing with her.
