Welcome to Obsidian's first AU workshop meme! Just fill out the form below and tag around to your fellow potential applicants to form potential pre-existing relationships and generally bounce ideas off of each other.

This meme is always open and you are never late! I'll make sure to draw some attention to new comments if they're posted after the initial rush. Posting here is part of the informal "application", but it's also for fun. Don't worry about writing an entire detailed backstory. In fact, we encourage you to keep some details of your character's past secret and reveal them in the flashback comm!

Feel free to post as many characters as you want. Posting here is not a commitment to app.

OOC Information
Player Name: Magellan
Contact:

shinra_dog

IC Information
Character Name: Reno
Canon: Final Fantasy VII (pre-AC, will draw from Remake)
Age: 28 (Ultimania finally confirmed!!)
What were they arrested for?: Where to start with this asshole? Multiple counts of murder, attempted murder, assault, kidnapping, grand larceny, mass murder, corporate espionage, tax evasion
How long is their sentence?: Consecutive life sentences
How long have they been at Obsidian?: Fresh Flesh
Character Description: This Reno is not so concerned with atonement and rebuilding as "The Kids Are Alright" and Advent Children will influence him to be. No no, Shinra has been dissolved and this Reno is at his peak dickishness. Sticking close to canon, definitely post-Plate but pre-WEAPON / Meteor crisis so he hasn't quite faced the existential dread of facing the consequences of his actions. Still thinks dropping the Plate was a shitty order, but he was still going to do it.
Potential CR wanted: Omg I thrive on sass. Reno is violence on a hair trigger and lots of mouth. He needs someone who can match his wit and keep him entertained (if not in his place). He's not above making strong friends for his protection, but he's also the guy who is going to immediately start a fight to climb up the hierarchy as quickly as possible.

Dimitri's not very sassy, but he's one to try(?) to keep upstarts like Reno in their place. Try... fail... but at least be a nag.

They're new blood together, as well, and I'd love to see how their experiences contrast!

Omg, Dimitri is gonna make himself a target so fast. XD Reno is not in the mood for someone trying to be "good" or tell him what to do.

It's gonna be amazing. Reno will take out-nagging Dimitri as a sport.

I'm so glad that he can establish himself as a fucking white-boy narc so quickly LOLFHWFE Though he doesn't want anyone to get their asses kicked by the guards so he's more likely to try and take things into his own hands...

Which will go well I'm sure.

Anyway! I can't wait for Reno and Dimitri to bicker and aggravate one another. It'll be great

Do you have a cellblock assignment yet?

I DO NOT.... :eyes:

I'd love to stick him in with Reno though, if that's where you're going ohoho...

Ayyyyyyy ;)

I'm not sure how the assignments work but it'd be dope if they were together. Even if they're not, they'll definitely run into each other.

IC Information
Character Name: Relenu Serothi
Canon: Elder Scrolls
Age: 26
What were they arrested for?: Murder, manslaughter, assault, larceny/theft, prostitution, treason, desecration of a corpse. Charges of polygamy dropped when prosecution could not produce sufficient evidence of another husband.
How long is their sentence?: 25 to life
How long have they been at Obsidian?: New
Character Description: Relenu is slim, dark, and bootylicious and she knows how to use it to get what she wants. That said, she always has a bigger plan in the works and a deeper motivation than what appears on the surface. She sees herself as a vigilante and her actions are guided by what she deems "justice." More lore/history to be added to the Locations page later in terms of AU'ing Dunmer to human society. But suffice to say that Morrowind/Vvardenfell is currently under sanctions by many other modern societies for their continued adherence to the practice of slavery and religious persecution.

At first glance, Rel does not seem like she's guilty of her charges. She's bubbly, seems almost too innocent and naive, and friendly to everyone. That said, she has a wicked streak reserved for violent offenders and can be especially spiteful in her acts of vengeance. She is a staunch follower of Saint Veloth and the "Good Daedra," especially Azura, which put her in direct conflict with the Tribunal leadership of the Dunmeri nation who claim that they are deities. (Think ancient Egyptian pharoahs). This dissent (as well as the economic damage done by repeatedly freeing slaves) marked her as an enemy of the state & a threat to the current leadership.

Relenu is also a member of the secret society Bal Molagmer, a covert group of thieves who would use their skills to fight corruption and steal from other thieves. Relenu refused to offer any information about this shadow gang, even in exchange for a reduced sentence.

That said... she absolutely is guilty of murder, manslaughter, desecration of a corpse... Hail Boethiah?

Potential CR wanted: Relenu will Mama Bear any petty thieves and young'uns. She will be a loyal and true friend if she sees your crimes as justified. She doesn't mind being in Obsidian since it's essentially a "bad guy buffet" where she can still make people face the errors of their ways, either with a stern talking-to or physical violence. I also thoroughly expect juicy negative CR from "villain" type characters. :3
