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!

Oh my god it took me entirely too long to reach out here but do you want these girls to know each other? I'm pretty sure Laerryn would have a 'bad girls of science' on her radar in general, but she may also have written Mildred to consult her as an expert for some engineering projects she herself has been working on. Probably along the lines of 'how unstable is this as fuel/what materials does this chemical interact with?'. I could definitely see a 'you help me and I help you' type of relationship with their research. Depending on how willing she is to collaborate, they could have been working on... things... together that I would definitely want to PM you about.

Everett and I also agreed Arcade probably saw Laerryn exhibiting recently at a World's Fair type of conference, so that is also an option. May be the first time they've met in person, on this train?

I dunno. These two have a similar work ethic and seem like they would get along!

First of all I absolutely Need to hear the thing you're alluding to because she is Here for scientific discovery she doesn't even give a shit if other people are involved or not. She would absolutely throw her hand into helping with engineering shit if the idea interests her enough!
