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!

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!!

Sam will flirt with her happily currently, since she's blonde (silver/white hair is blonde with in his book ok) and has purple eyes.

They could have known each other when they were younger through a few gala parties, but he got amnesia around 16 so she would have been like 14 when he just randomly disappeared from that scene. I would assume they didn't know each other very well but I mean if I understand the timelines correctly she's been murdering people a lot longer than he has haha.

yyyy that works for me! she's been murdering for a while yeah. would he have gone by Sam back then too? and looked like a younger version of his current self?

Yup, he has always been Sam Murdoch. Let's see, he probably looks similar enough, yes, just he was a short lanky kid that she b probably thought was younger than her with his luck. She probably could have easily beaten him up tbh when he was 14 no problem even without being trained. I think she would be able to see the resemblance if they interacted enough, although she probably would definitely probably feel like "is this some (hot if she finds his type attractive) super fit decoy dude because the real Sam went missing/died."

tbh it is so uncanny that no one has actually picked up in rich person land that this Sam Murdoch looks exactly like the dead one that I think she would be like "are they just thinking it's way too obvious so it must be a red herring situation that they can't acknowledge or is everyone just being a pussy for not calling it to attention for some reason and ignoring it."

On the flip side if she was around enough at events also to get to know Sam, I'm sure Sam's two older sisters doted on Felt like a little queen (they also were both skilled killers at the time, but Sam did not know this :D).

His sisters are Vera and Nadia. If she was friendly with them she would also probably know that Vera killed herself and Sam around 4-5 years ago. Obviously Sam did not die, even though he should have. :/c

( they are way older than her but they would spoil her and let her hang around with them instead of be stuck elsewhere so she could be more adult. )

YES TO ALL OF THIS

the sisters thing is cute. she'll prob think current Sam is a Sam Murdoch fanboy tbh. she appreciates a good bit
