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!

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.

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!

✯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.

If she has a floaty mechanical whale with her on the boat, she and Sam need to need meet on principle because he also has one (it's a narwhal but still.)

Sam is very into art, so I could have him be a client.

She's also within age range for Sam to flirt with her so he probably does on principle she doesn't have to flirt back though wew.

Whale friends! Also if he's a client, she is definitely the type of artist who makes beautiful things but sometimes it takes a while if the inspiration isn't there. Or he'll get a piece of art that is...not exactly what he commissioned, but still looks great. Oops.

She will flirt back with anyone attractive who does it in a non-creepy way

Yee!!

Ohhh, that's perfect, Sam appreciates beautiful things and the expression of the artist more than having special specific ideas in mind so he would absolutely love that about her and her work. He'd still give her commission guidelines, but fully know there's chance for fun surprises. (He's also rich so like it's not a big deal to him if the commissions don't match since he can just pay again if he really wanted it.) He's also very patient.

I do like to think he's very good at being charming and flirtatious rather than creepy about his flirtations because he's also not ever looking for anything out of it other than to be positive towards the other individual, so that should be pretty safe, ehe.

Would she ever be open to teaching him some sculpting basics? I have Sam having done a lot of craft in his spare time (like he has no social life or friends so he spends a lot of time learning craft things) and he mostly likes to do it with food, but it would be really fun if I could say he actually got a few of his basics from someone who does work he admires, too, rather than like just scouring around Estoria youtube. Even if just like he could ask her basic questions about certain techniques and things.

She would be fine with teaching him some basics! He will probably learn actual techniques and then unhelpful hints like "just feel the clay"

Yay, thank you! Looking forward to more CR with you (and I'll def be still bothering Elegy for fun food times too)
