CR Planning: May 2015

Welcome to the Underground! As promised, this is a follow-up post for players who have been accepted into the game to discuss your characters' AU backgrounds with canonmates and other characters, and to establish pre-existing CR (character relations). Feel free to revise your character's history as appropriate to fit in with other characters in 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 begin discussing your in-game strategy.
• Start thinking about what territories you might want to make a claim on.

There will be a plotting post on the 18th where you can stake your territory claims for the opening month of the game, choose a prompt from a list of plots and start planning the events listed in the calendar.

Read the factions page to remind yourself who your allies and enemies are, then take a sneaky look at the territories map as it currently stands and have a think about your faction's goals. Do you want to make an aggressive grab for power? Sit tight and defend the territories you've already got? Play nice and build alliances with other factions? There's no right or wrong way to play: the tactics employed by your faction are completely up to you.

As before, this is a player-led discussion, but I'm happy to answer any questions. Happy planning, and I look forward to playing with everyone when the game opens!

He writes under an alias because he is a big jerkface that thinks people who can't even figure THAT out aren't worth talking too /pretentious author scoff or something - Which just makes it all the funnier to me if Heiji is the one that figures it out and stands there just "oh no why is it an outcast D:"

Ganbatte ne Heiji-san. Also he'd know right off the bat he's a fae but. He doesn't care. At all. why does it even matter FAE ARE STUPID He won't tell if you don't broseidon

this means i actually need to commit to an alias though shit bbl

[detectiveofthewest]

Yeah, I guess fae are also supposed to sense other supernatural beings, too, but maybe Heiji would kind of overlook that if he was hunting down an author :|a

He could always do the time-honored tradition of stealing names from other authors/mystery stories.

[alethiological]

Shoosh it'll be okay friend just don't tell anyone. And if anyone tries to outcast heiji for enjoying books, he will headbutt every fae in existence DON'T TEST HIM

Realtalk, I'm tempted to do that because Haha Van Dine Expy My Canons Why but at the same time, on a personal level, his last few books annoy me SO MUCH. So much.
And I think it's fun to try and have players figure it out too. Join in the mystery puzzle shit abyss with meeee

[detectiveofthewest]

I feel that way with the Special Agent Pendergast series, stop killing off/maiming my favorite characters :(

I hope at least D'Agosta remains safe...

someone needs to confiscate my ps3 i have a problem

Anyway, I have long since learned that any character I love 9 times outta 10 dies in some terrible fashion. The faster you accept it, the quicker you can be pleasantly surprised when they don't die. It's great.
