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!

Linhardt is a part of the 'academia' scene and potentially a fellow rising medical researcher because why not. But he is perhaps one of the most irritating ones, constantly going against the grain, shirking manners or expectations resulting from others, and seeming half-hearted in his appearances with others in the field in discussions. He is very blunt, opinionated, appearing lazy unless interested (falling asleep in the midst of people's conversation so Arcade can observe that too lol), and such.

Rich too, to boot, thanks to his parents.

Also a point of interest for him would be Arcade's ties to that organization. He'd consistently ask about it or poke around into his business bc knowledge is power. Maybe that can be a source of tension/annoyance for them so they end up somewhere between enemies/rivals even if he is not interested wholly in the rival aspect?

OH BOY. arcade would definitely view him as a rich brat who never had to work or care abt actually helping others (even if not necessarily true) so this is tasty as hell. I'm down for that!! maybe they met as students once and arcade was like "I've had enough of this dude" but they kept running into each other over and over again?
