SEPTEMBER AU PLANNING POST (NEWBIES AND OLDBIES!!)
AU Backstory Planning Post
✯Information
Every month, we'll have a post where new characters and old characters can plan out backstories with one another. This should hopefully get characters something to work with when coming up with their alternate universes and get some prebuilt CR for those who are looking for it! This is NOT a requirement, you could be an unattached person if you'd like! However, for those who do want it, this is the place for you!
Before you start with making an AU, I would recommend getting familiar with some of the information to get an idea of how the setting works here.
◆ How to Build an AU
◆ What are Families?
◆ The Eight Families
◆ Names
◆ Full Navigation for any other questions/curiosities!
Once you get done with that, you can comment to the post!

✯Established Characters
For established characters, you can use this post as well! If you have an "open to all" type of CR where you're always needing a certain type of CR, you can do that here! This includes a restaurant needing regular patrons or a teacher needing students, guinea pigs for experiments, etc. Open to All is literally Open to All, it is never closed until the OP player adds a CLOSED comment so if you're a new player, don't feel like you're overwhelming them by commenting!!

Any other notes:
Whenever you reach your CR limit, feel free to comment to your toplevel with the header CLOSED to let new players know that you're not taking any more CR for the time being (of course you can still tag new potential players!). It will also close automatically once the new monthly post goes up.

UPDATED AU THOUGHTS
- Has a relatively normal home life. Parents that love her and shit ????.
- Absolutely still has a gift for Finding People (stalking) unfortunately but is more or less just casual about it because it's fun. like being really good at finding info via someone's twitter bio or some shit.
- Went to and graduated art school, got a lucky break as a professional artist and lives off of that income.
- Pretty into exercising, mostly does stuff like 5ks.
- Maybe married??????? or long-term interested in someone??? If any interest, anyway.
- possibly has a dog. very likely to be a border collie. does fun tricks with him. very well trained.
- Is/has always been a little sickly, gets frequent fevers and/or hallucinations, but generally not entirely enough to keep her out of commission for more than a day or two.
- this is just an overall character thing but she's Very Intense whether it's about work, love, hobbies, faith, etc... but her general personality is pretty easygoing so it's easy to never know what a freak she is about certain things.
- THE POTENTIAL OF "MAYBE HAS KILLED A PERSON" IS STILL THERE IF SHE DOES IN FACT GET INVOLVED WITH ILLEGAL SHIT VIA A SIGNIFICANT OTHER/RELATIVE/ETC. she's been to therapy though so it's fine :)
