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!

Abby

[acrookedchild]

Name: Abigail Widdowson
Faction: Circle Midnight

Information:
App & Permissions

CR possibilities:
* Circle Midnight people! "Widdowson" is an old name in the world, especially where dark magic is concerned, so it's very possible for people to know the family by reputation even if they've never met.
* Society. Abigail is a socialite, so she flits about parties and charities. In charities, she's usually invited because of how much she donates. In parties, she is the 'oddity.' She gets invited so people can boast about it.
* Random. Seriously, the girl needs friends. She's never really been out in the world before, so she's got a flat in London rather than constantly spending her time in Geap Manor.
* Fae. The Widdowsons keep themselves alive and fertile by making deals with Fae, so the name might not be unheard of among some of those circles.


Territory: Circle Midnight doesn't actually have a territory yet, but Abigail will probably get the idea pretty quickly to make a proper coven location, once she runs into non-family Midnighters. Most likely, she'll want to look at Enfield, since that's where her family home is, and, therefore, feels most like homefield advantage to her.

Hmm, so Heiji might end up at charities and so on, just to check out what's going on, but he's also a fae. Does anyone ever come around and poke around Abby's place?

[acrookedchild]

There are definitely stupid people who poke around Geap Manor uninvited, and they tend to... Well. They might get into the house, but most don't ever make it back. Lots of ghost stories, rumors, etc, involved there.

[detectiveofthewest]

Oh, that's too bad. Heiji's the curious sort, so I thought it might be a cool chance for cr.

Maybe if Abby ends up at a party he can come say hello, then :|a

[acrookedchild]

Well, hey, since he's Fae, he might not die! Just... have to deal with creepiness inside the house, etc.

[kleptofaeniac]

Hayyy qurl. So do we want these two to be an established acquaintance, friendship or have not met yet?

[acrookedchild]

Hmmm. I'm thinking an established acquaintance. Probably not well known to each other, yet, but a vague knowledge of each other.

[kleptofaeniac]

That sounds good. Kenzi could have crashed a lot of society parties.

[megidoomed]

Acquaintances via Circle Midnight before Aradia died, y/n?

[acrookedchild]

Sure!

The association would have probably been pretty vague, just because the Widdowsons tend to keep to themselves a little. (Still have some connections, etc, but she just doesn't know many people. That's one thing about her family she wants to change.)

[megidoomed]

Fair enough! c: Aradia was pretty new to the scene herself before she died, so it's probably a case of 'met a few times, kept intending to get to know eachother, whoops somebody died'?

[acrookedchild]

Sounds good!

Re: Abby

[stauncherhearted]

Nancy heard of Abby first through her Fae accesss. so totally went to investigate when she actually met her. that is my thought.

[acrookedchild]

That sounds good to me!

[stauncherhearted]

fab. should they already know each other orrrrr?

hell, maybe Abby's family actually went to Fagin at one point?

[acrookedchild]

I think we'll go with not having met yet? Since Abigail really hasn't been out on her own before.

[stauncherhearted]

Sounds good to me!
