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!

Snake | 999 | Redbright

Snake aka Light Averly is 24 years old and recently came to London to teach and research physics at university. He's extremely smart and dignified and has very little patience for people who think less of him because of his handicaps. He can read minds but not in the traditional sense. His mind's like a radio that mostly hears static but every so often if the signal from other people is strong enough, he can read thoughts. He cannot, however, project his own thoughts. Mostly Snake keeps his mind shielded and doesn't really use his talent that much, which I'd like to change.

He gained his powers because of a chance encounter with a fae that saved his life as a child.

Basic Plans
Although he is affiliated with Redbright, my idea is that he'd have to be really persuaded to learn about them. He didn't really mix with any of the supernatural in Washington State as his parents, both human, wanted to protect him. Snake would like to learn more about the physics of powers. It's going to be a challenge to get him to really be comfortable with his powers as he considers them a crutch and he cannot STAND those.

Also, he needs some friends, even though he'd rather shoot himself in the foot than admit that. If you came from near Washington State, you might have heard of Snake as the accident that handicapped him came complete with a lurid trial that revealed all kinds of juicy things and left bad blood between his family and his assailant's family.

Since he's kind of new to all supernaturals, he'd be open to making friends with all of them and drawing his own conclusions.

Anyone who'd like to go harass Snake because of handicaps, go nuts. He will react in kind. Snake likes negative CR as well and positive.

Obviously, Heiji's totally down to be friends with Snake, and I think once he finds out Snake works for Redbright, he could definitely help with getting him more comfortable with his powers.

WOULD YOU LIKE HEIJI TO INTRODUCE SNAKE TO SOME OF HIS FRIENDS

I think that would certainly work. Although good luck getting him to admit it.
