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!

I would so be up for that! Do you have any preference of when they knew each other and how it happened? I was thinking Clara would have known him then around in her early twenties - late twenties, perhaps? Just as she's settled into life in London and still has time on her hands despite being a mother at that point before it gets hectic and lost contact with him down the line.

[vampiracy]

What year would that have been? He started spending most of his time in London around the 1700s!

[warmheartedly]

Clara moved to London with her then boyfriend at around 1969 when she was still 18. I think they could have run into each other while she still had free time on her hands and she's running around, looking for jobs to keep her and Francisco afloat.

[vampiracy]

Yeah, that would work! he's most often found in seedier places or something related/near to the water, but he still could have run into her I think. I'm game for them meeting pretty much anywhere honestly! his sire took him all sorts of places.

[warmheartedly]

Ohhh if that's the case then I'm really tempted in having them meet waaaaaay before like, back in the Philippines during the 1960s or so. It'll be neat to have them meet that long ago and have her run into him again after she's become a ghost.

[vampiracy]

Oooooh yeah that would be awesome! he travels a lot, so I can definitely see him going there. C: any place you'd like them to have met would work for me? or maybe he could have hired her to be a translator for him while he stayed there? it says in her app she dropped out of school to help out with money and he wouldn't have been long but! it's an idea.

[warmheartedly]

Her being a translator for him is a good approach! She knew enough English to have conversations with tourists if they ever came to her barangay and she was always up to take jobs to help people while they were around back then.

[vampiracy]

That works for me if it works for you! As long as she could help him with a few tourist things I don't think he'd need her to speak perfect english. And he would have paid her very well, but I doubt he'd have been for longer than a few months.

[warmheartedly]

I'll totally be down for it. So they knew each other from when he visited the Philippines for a few months and she was his translator while there. Got it!

Will tag him soon. I'm really excited for this eeee!

[vampiracy]

Yeah!! this does sound fun I'm excited C: if I ever fudge something in a tag with presumed cr, just smack me and I can change it, I'm very easy going.
