AU PLANNING POST


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

Thank you for having interest in joining! When you post your comment looking to plot, please toplevel the post with NEW CHARACTER | CHARACTER CANON NAME (CANON) and then fill out the following:

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.

JINSHI! Oh I love him. Glad to see him here in the game!

idk I don't have much to add here other than to say I would love CR with him with either Till (Forte) or Tsukasa (Valerian).

Forte is closer in age and does a lot of underground gigs trying to make it as a singer. He has also worked like... everywhere. He's never been part of the group that has a lot of secret background connections or info on others though because he just doesn't care ='D

If he's visited the cat cafe though or sometimes hits up bars and various performances he might have seen him before. He's opened a few times for his sis (Rockstar) over on Eonia.

Likewise...! Tsukasa (Valerian) has been extremely sheltered and knows absolutely 0% of pop culture or things. He was raised on a shrine and lowkey his parents had him almost worshipped there (but he's not actually a living god or anything). If he's the type to ever visit one, it's possible he could have seen a foxboy with wings and crossed paths at some point. His parents have him 'bless' people who visit.

Yaaaay, thank you! I'm happy to have this horrible man here.

He does drop by the cat café every now and then, but he isn't a super regular and would most likely be incognito (think kpop idol airport vibes). If it's entertainment stuff they might have met or seen each other in passing?

For Valerian he could have definitely seen him at a shrine visit, especially with Holy Order mom. He would have been very confused by it but no judgment here.

In passing would work for me too! His sis (Rockstar) is more well-known than him and he's opened up for her a few times too, so anything works really. I don't actually know what agency she works for or if she's dong some of her own stuff though.

Shrine visit works for me too! He's just a lil foxboy. =3

Either way, I am happy to toss them at you!
