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.

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!

Hmmmm...with the funeral industry per se it's unlikely they will get entangled into it unless there's money to be had, but honestly it's possible they would reach out to have a connection or two because hey, you never know what can come useful in the future. It could be good to have a link with someone in an industry even if they're not doing business in it.

They're reasonably international, focusing most of their assets in Japan and America. It's not much of a stretch to think they could reach out to China and nearby areas, though -- Eva's father spent quite a bit of time in that area. It could be easily said that he still had connections from that area, leading to that.

Absolutely eager to have Hu Tao know that they're untrustworthy and pretty much a walking den of vipers even if they're not heavily entangled, though. Perhaps she even could be glad they haven't sunk their gnarly claws in that industry...yet.

Laughs I was thinking less of them muscling in on the business and whether with all the shady stuff they do and the rivals they keep backstabbing if there's murder or mafia stuff going on behind the scenes that would produce Unusual Bodies™!

That said if it's strictly business then connections are still totally possible, the funeral industry isn't quite as global as in modern times but the grapevine still exists, especially for a family as old as Hu Tao's and because she's also been traveling. :D

This makes me laugh because Liyue in her canon is also full of cutthroat businesspeople... some things never change. :>>
