LIMELIGHT STAGE (OOC AU PLANNING POST)

[modmaster]

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!!

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.

Player Name: Nishi
Character: Jesper Fahey (Affogato)
Canon: Netflix's Shadow&Bone (PGAU Snek)
Potential Family Option: He's EONIA BB
AU idea(s): Affy has absolutely seen the progress and guidance Eonia has provided so many. The way they have taken lives and shifted them.

And realized: Gee. That could make a LOT of money. I could make a LOT of money.

Which is good because he is absolutely terrible at keeping money in his pocket.

He's absolutely had a number of channels and identities on various social media, from the simple heavily edited and completely dumbass 6 minute crafts. To ALL sorts of sponsorship deals.
Get rich quick promotions.
NFTs and crypto scams.
He's absolutely promoted Syrup a deal hunting browser extension.
He's absolutely tried to rip off Syrup when it realized what it was doing NEAT!
He has been involved in vacation scams.
Confidence scams.
Gambling apps
Not paying the poor fucks who coded this for him-
Ghost writing bullshit
Content mills

Right NOW he's doing fashion influencer channel so most of his stuff is gggenerally above board except for the numerous promotions, wheedling for a bunch of free shit, and maybe selling information well whatever there was fine print it was certainly there!

Roles/CR you're interested in:
People he has scammed who has realized they were scammed
People he has scammed who has not realized
People he is CURRENTLY scamming
People who have turned him in for scamming
People he owes money to (legally)
People he owes money to (illegally)
Classmates
Friends, family, crushes and flames

Wants and Dreams: Come play with me he is terrible and wonderful.

I feel like Jackson Umbra has definitely written articles explaining and debunking the crypto scams on his finance blog. that's all

[hottest_shot]

So Jackson Umbra has had at LEAST one reply video talking about his poor comprehension of strategy in this era of diamond hands and honestly, would you look at what he's wearing? (If Jackson has never posted any pictures of himself Jesper will have absolutely grabbed a stock photo of a nerd)

[throughbamboo]

it would be really funny if he owed this guy money

[hottest_shot]

!@#$!@$! YES. It's not just owing someone a part of FORGE money. It's owing ORE specifically.

He's just. Immediately. "Oh hi, HELLO. I ah, seem to have NOT packed my wallet or any of my credentials but the money is DEFINITELY somewhere. I could get it. SOon."

[audacity]

ok nishi we gotta make this happen

[hottest_shot]

There's no way it CAN'T happen. It's destined.

[ahahadotwav]

goldi follows his current channel religiously and parasocially and has no idea there is any scamming involved

[hottest_shot]

Scamming? There was never any scamming! His beautiful gatitos are just here to be their best selves.

[thefaultinthestars]

do u want pos CR or neg CR. there is no circumstance under which booker would give Jesper money but they could have everything from... real internet beef to fake internet beef

[hottest_shot]

Lets ABSOLUTELY do negative because all of his Kim Dokja memories are hilariously positive and cute. And this is the way it should be-

[hottest_shot]

Unless you'd like the Actual playful beef where they enjoy each other's game. And oh no there's TWO OF THEM problem for the rest of the ship

[vitainmorte]

hi local rich modern artist (this is absolutely, to an extent, some kind of money laundering) and crime family member here whose family absolutely also deals in high level financial schemes. Do with this information what you will

(Being on morettas hit list is probably not the best idea though)

[featherduster]

concept

tried to get Aloe to stock some snake oil or other and it's just https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=152svKF-dBk

[rugpull]

Breezy sliced clips of his videos into a song about how he wants to be covered in syrup and romanced by a bear.

[monkeyseemonkeydoom]

what if: a scambaiter

[doggonemad]

okay but how about jesper's content mills stole content from some of gray's clients and he keeps trying to copyright strike this guy into the ground

[nymphcompoop]

Yue, former model with lots of Complicated Feelings about that, has recently discovered his fashion channel and was instantly Disgusted and Appalled. How dare this man have a career in this. He can't be normal about his investments so he might have also dug into Affogato's past and potentially found his previous dead channels/accounts? Unless he cleans up after himself which is also fine, Yue will be dismayed and hate him on principle anyway.

Shura was 100% scammed by him in the past and never realized. Even better if it was the confidence scam.

[endsjustified]

owes eriks money (just legally) (eriks never remembers who owes him money)

owes frost money legally and illegally

[restitui]

I'm just here for jesper times idk how because amnesiac teenagers such but also



Wait fashion influencer and he's a beauty/fashion nerd who makes his own clothes even tho he has a clothes blessing ... so fan maybe

[notlikeanyone]

I DEMAND JESPER CR no but Affogato and Heron are roughly the same age so MAYBE when they were smol they were classmates, before Heron skipped grades and dipped from school entirely?? back when he was Amantius and all quiet aloof semi-nerdy rich kid coded. A rich kid who skateboarded.

ALSO POSSIBLE for him to have investigated and busted some of Affogato's scams as his infobroker self, Crow; most likely he sold or gave the info to the people who actually busted him but he does do the hacking.

[weboftruths]

Is it funnier if they have CR or not, and if so, what do they even do to get along. Do they just play gacha games together, did you scam him of his beloved f*te grand order account, what's happening here you punk!!!

[constellationprize]

Ristretto is in grad school so I'm not sure if she'd be up for classmatening but they at least need to be ins*a contemporaries. maybe y*utube. her channel was primarily astronomy lecture GRWMs and has expanded somewhat since so they could network!

... she may or may not be pretending she does not see the scam articles as it benefits her.

[untilldeath]

I don't know how either of mine would know him, but I would be happy for something! Or just straight out new CR.

Valerian doesn't have experience with technology at all and he's never allowed out of the shrine much (except recently for school) so he probably hasn't been able to scam him. He could try not tho?? I guess? His friends are protective tho.

Since he's older than Kasa, they probably wouldn't have known each other in school either. Unless he's visited the shrine before (in which case, Tsukasa is there to 'listen to prayers' and bless others. People donate lots to the shrine for a 'blessing' from him =')
