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!

✯New Potential Players

Player Name:
Character:
Canon: Please also list if they are post game!
Potential Family Option: List the teams you're considering! Nothing here is permanent/guaranteed.
AU idea(s): What kind of story are you looking to have? Did you have multiple ideas but not sure which one you like? List em here! If you're amnesia, go ahead and list that too!
Roles/CR you're interested in: Parent looking for kids, teachers looking for students, neighborhood cat looking for pets, local gamer needing ppl to dunk on, etc. Just a general idea of some things you're interested in.
Wants and Dreams: anything else that hasn't been mentioned yet, please note it here!!

Please don't take anything listed here as "official". Players are allowed to refuse whatever they're not interested in and they can change their minds if they haven't played it out yet!

Once you comment, please join the discord and LINK your post into the links subchannel. If you haven't received access to the discord, DM Celi! If you haven't gotten permission to join the game yet, you'll have to DM me anyway since this game is friends only!

✯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!!

When you post your comment looking to plot, please toplevel the post with OPEN TO ALL | CHARACTER CANON NAME (CANON) and then fill out the following:

Player Name:
Character:
Canon: Please also list if they are post game!
Family:
Looking for You can included things like regulars for cafe, regular patients, students, past lovers, etc.
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.

WE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT STUFF BUT it occurs to me that given Sparrow comes from a family with a lot of history and deep connections in the Cirrus Network, maybe one of his close relatives helped Firuz with the whole identity fraud thing (just a little. like with falsifying the paperwork or whatever.)

Anyway if Firuz wants to recognize Sparrow like "wait...you look like that person who I know is high up in the Cirrus Network. why are you a foul-mouthed tattoo artist who wouldn't know business casual if it bonked you on the head with a polo shirt." He can.

idk if that would mean anything or lead to anything but shrug emoji???

Actually it would also be funny if they had a one night stand way before the whole faking his death thing and Sparrow just never knew that he slept with a famous rock star once. Again I have no idea if this would be meaningful in any way, I just think piling on random connections in AU backstories is hilarious. UP TO YOU THOUGH. I'm just excited for the Solar-Abyssal staring at each other in passing cars shenanigans to come.

And next time there's public karaoke I'm definitely going to have Moray sing one of his songs GET READY!! by which I mean please tell me what song he should sing, I don't know anything about rock music or music in general.

LMAO ONE-NIGHT STAND IS LIKE THE FUNNIEST CR TO HAVE THOUGH just like "wow a lot of drinking happened there. i did NOT remember your name or your face". And his family could definitely have helped! I am SURE there's like. a lot of room for cooperation and many hands involved in stealing a rockstar lmao

i will prepare an inspiration playlist. for moray

idk when or how they would realize the one night stand happened, but that can just be a little something lurking the background. waiting to ambush them at the most narratively appropriate moment. >:3

they get really drunk and are like WAIT THAT'S HOW I RECOGNIZE YOU

and Sparrow STILL doesn't realize he slept with a famous rock star because he doesn't know Jackson is Totality yet
