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!

I'm so down with these two having CR you have no idea.

I was thinking for the backstory, maybe Clara was contacted by another medium to help them find and root out Clara for one reason or another. But when she saw how nice and harmless she was, tried to persuade the other to not do it thus giving Clara the time she needed to get out of danger.

After that she looked for Aradia and tried to befriend her at that point but possibly found out she died by the time she found her or they only met a handful of times and I do this because I like making things even more tragic/sadder. ; ;

Yessss I love this idea. The distraction thing sounds like something Aradia'd do, especially since Clara's an entirely peaceful ghost.

Even if it'd be super sad if that was the only time they met before she died, I feel like Aradia would've tried to check up on Clara occasionally after that? She is(/was? whoops.) hella fond of ghosts.

... actually that's almost more tragic, 'cause then Clara would've gotten a better idea of what Aradia was like pre-death. Ow ;-;

[warmheartedly]

Just a super polite ghost who right off the bat said hello when they first met and asked Aradia if she's okay why on earth are you here? It's very late is something wrong. :<

Oh my gosh this hurts so much but yes let's have them meet a few times and get a chance to know each other better and then one day Aradia doesn't visit her on the day she thought she would and she just. Waits. And waits. And waits some more until she drifts off in search of her and finds her.
