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!

Henry

[livelongenough]

Name:
Doctor Henry Morgan
Species:
Metahuman
Faction:
Redbright Institute
Information:
App & Permissions
CR:
Henry's pretty new back to London, having gotten his position due to very old connections that he's just now figured out he has, so there won't be a lot of previous CR. Except for one case that will be mentioned below!
Students: Henry is a senior instructor at Redbright Institute, so there will always be students. I don't know if anyone fits this category yet, but I am totally willing to chat with anyone who does.
Fellow faculty: Again, instructor, so he has constant contact with others at Redbright.
Clients/Ghosts: Henry is a medium as well, capable of seeing spirits, talking to the dead, and helping them move on when they can/want to. Because of this, either ghosts he can talk to or people who have ghost problems are awesome.
Patients: Henry will also be moonlighting as a doctor for both humans and supernatural creatures, operating a small clinic.
Past CR: Henry is an immortal who knows very little about supernatural creatures. Because of this, the vampires and fae and other such creatures might have come across him in the US, France, Italy, or the UK when he's been there before.
General: Henry does like to get out and about, so there's a good chance of him meeting almost anyone.
Faction claims:
Henry isn't going to be worried about territory too much, since Redbright is pretty established and settled. It might change as things start to change, but that's later.

Okay so realtalk, I'm super bummed that Forever isn't getting a season 2.

That being said, I would like CR between these two, and Clint needing stitches or something seems like the best way to go haha. He could come into Henry's clinic with some kind of injury that was obviously supernatural in nature and make up some absurd story to try and lie about it.

[livelongenough]

IT IS TOTALLY GETTING A SEASON 2. LEAVE ME TO MY DENIAL LAND FANTASY!!

Um. Anyway.

Henry would be more than happy to patch Cint up, whether or not he was willing to tell him the exact causes. (Which Henry would kind of poke and prod about, but. Yeah.)

Just wanted to check, what subjects does Henry teach at the school? I looked and couldn't find if you mentioned it anywhere.

[livelongenough]

...Wow. I'm brilliant, aren't I?

I figure he'll probably teach history since, well. He's lived most of it. Politics, too, if that's an option. Since he can't really teach magic or anything. And after-hours as a sort of on-call school nurse, etc.

[brightwitch]

Haha, don't worry. I just realized that it's probably a good idea for me to keep track!

And yeah, that sounds fine. Redbright teaches all the normal curriculum subjects (History would be up to GCSE and A level, Politics A level only) as well as the supernatural stuff.
