MARCH 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.

Hmm. I'm not sure what past connections these guys could have had. Probably none with Val.

Forte has worked every part time job imaginable though. Sometimes does graffiti but he's mostly focused on his music and streaming now.

She can have stolen from him before, or attempted to if you want. Since he used to as a kid before Hyuna took him in though he might notice it. That said, if it seemed like she needed something he would probably just let her have some cash, or tell her to get a meal from the cafe.

meeting Val on the boat and immediately fighting with him is funnier anyway

what's the funniest thing she could have stolen from Forte? noticing is totally fine, if he didn't seem too dangerous she might have kept coming back to... hang out...

[Hisses at the new girl]

But man, what would he carry that would be funny. I'M NOT SURE. He probably regularly carries his phone, headphones, journal/notebook, wallet. Maybe some tickets to a show?? Stealing tickets to his own show only to realize it was his own show would be funny tho lmfao. He also carries some make-up for performances (think eyeliner), and sometimes nail polish.

But her coming back to hang out is cute. This is essentially how things went with him and his sis.

I'M DOWN WITH THE TICKET THING

she'll come hang out but also scowl reluctantly when he suggests going to the cat cafe + make excuses to avoid it cuz that means appearing in public

CUTE-! We can go with they have established this cute awkward friendship then of him trying to look out for her on some level, but keep it as lowkey as possible. Cat-coded people need to sniff your hand a bunch of times and circle around you a bit before they can decide if they trust ya.
