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!

So I had a silly idea, and I was wondering if you would be interested in Aradia and Kenzi being buds? I had an idea for how they could meet if you're interested

I'm always down for more buds! They could bounce off each other really well, tbh. c: What's the idea?

[kleptofaeniac]

If Aradia was ever threatened with exorcism - Kenzi (in canon, even) pretends to be an exorcist and medium to con people into giving her money. How does an aborted exorcism sound as the ground floor for friendship?

[megidoomed]

Oooh I really like that idea. She'd definitely have been threatened with exorcism at least once, given Aradia tends to kick up a ruckus when something actually gets past the apathy, so Kenzi stepping in would definitely win some approval points. Plus, it's full of delicious irony over Aradia formerly being a medium herself (and also doing the same thing for Clara when she was alive, ahah).

+1 poltergeist of friendship. If Kenzi ever needs a intangible pair of hands for nefarious purposes, she's now got a ghost on the payroll.
