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!

HOW LONG AGO DID ARADIA DIE? This is important. 'cause maybe Nancy knew her beforeeeeee?

[megidoomed]

Two to three years! She lived in London all her life before that too. c:

and they're both Midnight-ers I think?

[stauncherhearted]

Yes, they are. Though Nancy's still newish at it, I think there's a chance they briefly met before things went south for Aradia!

[megidoomed]

I'd be entirely down for them knowing eachother. Aradia was only briefly actually in Midnight before she died, honestly, but it was long enough for the ~*~bad crowd~*~ attitude to sink in. C:

[stauncherhearted]

For sure! Let's do the thing! Nancy was pretty new as well so it'd be easy to say that the two new kids kinda sought each other out.

[megidoomed]

Yessss I love this idea

(alternately, they could've jumped into the same coven to try and stick together? :o)

[stauncherhearted]

Me toooo

That works, though Nancy was isolated for a good chunk of her life.

[megidoomed]

Tentative coven-ness and then whoops somebody died? Midnight's already got a bit of a bad track record by the looks of it, lmao

[stauncherhearted]

For sure for sure, sounds perfect. SO FIND A WAY TO GET IN CONTACT WITH HER. or something.
