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.

I hope he's ready for it to go straight over her head. the brightest star in the sky based on apparent magnitude is the sun followed by sirius but that doesn't consider non-stellar objects that might be perceived as stars from a distance or variable stars or changes in photometry tech and systems an

... all of whatever that'd be aside she probably hasn't ever taken him up on the discount offer just yet, but if he's observant it feels sort of. less disinterested or bothered and more like, trying to figure out what space it'd occupy in her public image? you can't try new things without considering where it fits in the narrative you've constructed of your life or, whatever. like every time he brings up work he can all but see the gears turning in her head.

Look, he'll nod and smile along and offer his support while most of the science stuff flies over his head.



And the offer is always open should she ever wish for an evening of magic...or mostly alcohol and verbal pampering.
