Disorient Express AU Brainstorming

[thedirectors]

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 wolfnoir or on Discord at wolfnoir#4990.

Character Name: You can also add their AU name here, if you're changing their name.

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!

artemy knows next to nothing about performing arts (in fact, his small town's theatre was most recently put to use as a hospital, so. that about sums up his opinions on the matter LMAO) but he would likely be very familiar with the pharmaceutical company that nathan's family has ties to!!

althooooouuuugh we could always go the arts route for some history between them!! he could have produced a few shows in russia, maybe they've even been performed in artemy's town's theatre before it was shut down, who's to say? :3ccc

[campire]

omg rip to that town... i thiiink since he's not, like, a gossipy new yorker lmfao that artemy probably wouldn't know ahead of time about nathan's personal connection to the company since he has a different name and doesn't publicize the relation? but yeah, it could come up if they ever talk about that stuff (even though it is very much not nathan's own wheelhouse)!

i like the arts route though! the family does have connections to russia in canon (because of course rasputin was a vampire lmao) so it's definitely feasible that he could have done some stuff there before!

god it would also be kind of hilarious if he'd interacted with some ancestor of artemy's when he was there 70 years ago or something and makes some confusing offhand comment about it

[vorakh]

OMG HELP I THOUGHT I REPLIED TO THIS SOONER. WELL.

but absolutely yes to all of this! artemy will probably know of the company in question yet know nothing of nathan's connections to it -- just a funny little coincidence he may never learn about.

and it would be hilarious if nathan adressed artemy by, like, a grandfather's name, much to his confusion. he's used to being mistaken for his father and brother, but NEVER that, lmfao. cue a potential "ahh, i remember that town! total shithole" and artemy can't help but agree

[campire]

LMAO yes i will totally do that, give me a grandpa name and i'll make it happen
