Disorient Express AU Brainstorming

A gif of an outline of a face in profile, hand on their chin in a thinking pose. The brain flashes different colors and patterns to invoke the feeling of thinking or brainstorming.

Welcome, dear players, to Grief Street! You've joined us for tonight's episode, The Disorient Express, a murder mystery aboard a train with secrets and inter-character drama galore.

Given the nature of the game and application, we've provided a collaborative space for you to brainstorm with your fellow players about your AU'd characters. This is where you'll be able to figure out who they are, what they're doing here, and also what relationships they might have to other characters on the train. Relationships can be as simple as "Character A and Character B are gossip buddies", or as spicy as "Character A is having an affair with Character B and is plotting to help kill their spouse". Have fun with it!

Remember to be respectful of each other's ideas! If you have any questions or want to talk about something you want to keep secret, feel free to reach out at [plurk.com profile] wolfnoir or on Discord at wolfnoir#4990.

Player Name: That's you!
Character Name: You can also add their AU name here, if you're changing their name.
Canon: If they have one, that is.

Age: How old is your character?
Occupation: Describe what they do for a living!
Appearance: A brief visual description of your character, if you're changing the way they look/dress/etc.

About: Write a few sentences about your character's AU. This doesn't have to be finalized in the slightest, but it'll help give people an idea of what your character's vibes are! It can be in paragraph or bullet point form--whatever gets the point across.

Looking For: What sort of established relationships are you looking for? Family, friends, enemies, rivals, etc? You may also want to discuss are potential relationship hooks (occupation, country of origin, habits, etc) to help others collaborate with you. You're also encouraged to integrate other player characters into your own character's secrets!

Additional Notes: Anything else you want to put down!

Player Name: Pom
Character Name: Mabel Mora
Canon: Only Murders in the Building

Age: 28
Occupation: Artist!
Appearance: TIL Selena Gomez is 5' 5". She has dark brown hair that rests just above her shoulders. She's generally pretty trendy with her clothing, usually with neutral or fall-ish colors, with a particular emphasis on marigold. She also wears a lot of knit fabric, too.

About:
- Born and raised in the US, specifically in NYC/greater boroughs area
- She went abroad to study and get inspiration for her work by going to different parts of the world.
- Uses a Parisian flat/studio/whatever that her aunt owns as a sort of home base
- Also may or may not have left to essentially move past some things in her life, mainly the events that left one friend dead and another behind bars. It's probably fine.

Looking For: Friends! Acquaintances! Enemies! Exes! Mabel is sort of someone who keeps people at arms length, but she's thoughtful and considerate, but also incredibly blunt, which may be offputting to some people

Her art has had a recent spike in popularity, particularly in New York, so her name might be familiar with anyone who knows the New York art scene. among other murder-related things, potentially

Additional Notes: oh god help me i have to make icons

Artsy New Yorkers let's goooooo

I feel like they'd maybe get along pretty well?? So if he actually likes her art he'd have probably thrown a little sponsorship money at her or something if she needed it.

I know Milred is from England but I like the idea of them being buddies/pen pals? and bonding over their blunt nature and their suspected murders

i'd love that! the one murder i was talking about isn't one that she'd be attached to beyond being known associates of both victim and the killer, but honestly i could see mabel seeing something about mildred's alleged boyfriend blow-up and reach out to her to lend some moral support or just "u go girl" or whatever and it growing from there.
