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!

... kids this is why you don't post when tired

Sorry about that!! D: I think I got fried from that plurk convo.

LMAO no worries! It's all good B)

OKAY SO, how about like... Stiles will start looking into all the mysterious deaths that have happened in London (after he realizes it's a supernatural hotspot). Maybe this leads him to coming across an article about Aradia's death and deciding to investigate her old haunts (hahaha pun). That will at least get him in her area/snooping around her business. What do you think, for a start?

[megidoomed]

That sounds great, actually! :D Especially since Aradia's death was probably never resolved in-character - she'd know who killed her (even if I currently don't, thanks Obama) but it fell by the wayside.

Snooping around is a great way to get her attention, though. Feel up to living a b-rated horror movie, Stiles?

[mensrea]

His whole life is one big b-rated horror film. The cheapest budget possible.

We can side-step around the whole who killed her thing somehow. What if she was cursed so she could never give details about her killer (to give you time to keep poking around OOC if anyone wants to play her killer)? Just an idea! 8]

[megidoomed]

At least he'd feel at home then B)

... I didn't even think of cursing her lmao, that works perfectly! Also doubles nicely as something to gradually piss her off c:

Home sweet home c:

AWESOME, glad that works.
