Disorient Express AU 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
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!

Character Name: Anne Boleyn
Canon: SIX The Musical (i play six as if the performers are reincarnations of the queens come back to life to throw a pop concert and rewrite their own stories. so they may have the herstory of the historical figure, but their personality is v much that of their stage persona. since this is the au most of the influence will come from the stage show-- but im too much of a tudor freak to not throw in some references from the real woman)
Age: 33
Occupation: Socialite | Singer
Appearance: pb andrea macaset, who is 4'11. loves to wear green. her lipsticks red.
About: - lived abroad in france (oui oui bonjour)
- came back and let her arranged marriage fall through-- all the british dudes lame (epic fail)
- she's just trying to have some fun
- constantly in the gossip rags and may have broken up a marriage or two (but she didnt mean to hurt anyone)
- has OPINIONS about religion (everybody chill its totes gods will)
Anne's a fun-loving gal, with high ambitions. The middle child of an old-money family of high prestige, Anne's parents have always expected greatness of her-- greatness that her time abroad was supposed to help flourish. Instead, she got some really bold ideas re: feminism and religion during her vacation, and came home fiercely independent and ready to cause some trouble. I'm going to leave WHAT trouble she's been up to pretty empty, but y'all can guarantee that she's made it into papers nationwide with her antics.
She loves to be the life of the party, believes that any attention is good attention, and tries to use that attention to further her own desires and ambitions. Anne believes she's going to change the world. She just doesn't intend to do it the same boring old way her family wanted her to do it.
comes off as really dumb and airheaded but every now and then she'll just quote some academic theory and make everyone stare at her like "wtf"
Looking For: everything.
Additional Notes:

Maybe one of her academic theories got him mildly interested, depending on the topic (if it is unusually Out There or something...like about origins of people) Or a segue from it or a "hey let's escape the party and do whatever we like" though seeing as she is life the party that is likely not to happen. There is also the option of 'very unenthusiastic when dragged along things party member' option, with variations of them getting to know each other but because they are just Themselves about everything, it is a funny dynamic of sorts.
