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!

Hahaha Quay is definitely a good time! He likes parties and schmoozing, pretty much the exact opposite of Laerryn. She's the stick in the mud in the relationship. I imagine he was very much a lush, 'love them and leave them', carpe diem type of capricious person before they married, which is kind of just stereotypical theater life experience for you. He's an incredible character actor, though with the technology of the time he can really only broadcast his voice now.

I'm sure most people looked at Quay and Laerryn as a couple and have gone "Him/Her?" depending on which of the pair they liked better since they are polar opposites.

I guess my question now is do you prefer that she know Nathan but not yet know about that history, or do you want her to know?

I'm totally fine with whatever you think would be more fun to play with on your end! It seems like it might be fun for her to know for the sake of creating some awkward tension from the get-go, but if doing a reveal while they're here would be more interesting I'm good with that too!

THANK YOU FOR GETTING MY REFF

Her knowing is fine and would definitely start off with tension. I don't think she cared when she first found out, but now her relationship is on the rocks she's more sensitive and I pre-emptively apologize for any upcoming stink-eyes or whatever Nathan probably doesn't deserve coming from her. I imagine she will try to avoid him at first, but it's a train... there's only so far you can go, especially once murder happens.
