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.

I would like to start this off by saying I saw your username and, without any hesitation whatsoever, shouted WILDCATS aloud. In the presence of another person, so I then had to explain myself.

IN ANY CASE. I'd love it if they worked together at some point in the past, and for them to talk shit about people in the present. Would Ogata do anything like a break-in to steal a specific item or paperwork, from somewhere (moderately) dangerous? They could have been hired by the same person or put out feelers for someone to join in on the job when they realised it needed to be a two-man thing maybe ??

And it's not goodness that bugs him so much, but Felix sincerely believes that there's no one inherently selfless enough to do things without wanting something in return. At least, they don't if they've got even half a brain about them. So, yeah, he's v ready to laugh at all the idiots thinking they can get by in a place like this trying to actually be do-goody. It's been just terrible having to roll his eyes at people in secret.

I AM SO GLAD!! I often wonder if the meme is too old for people, so I'm happy you immediately went there hahahahaha

Ogata is a sniper first and foremost, so he could easily be in on a heist like that. He probably wouldn't have personally broken in, but provided cover / surveillance for the operation. Hired by the same person and only in tangential contact (but knowing who the other is / recognizing each other in prison), working more closely start to finish, or being with a bigger group - all of those options work for me! Do you have a preference?

The belief that no one is inherently selfless jives with Ogata for sure. They can be misanthropes together... He'll shit on the good kiddos with you, buddy.

And get up to shit in prison, too, I'm sure. If Felix is ever trying to carry out another heist/any other kind of operation, loop Ogata in. He'd be down to help.

HSM is classic, wildcats are a team 4 lyfe.

Felix likely wouldn't work with a bigger group on a single job, his absolute max would be 4 people, and that's including himself (his complaint largely being that it'd take away from his cut of the payout). I could definitely see them with tangential contact — Felix working inside with Ogata having eyes outside, having one another over comms and maybe spending a collective 20 minutes in the same room together.

Oh yeah. Once news comes to Felix that he's in here for more than a couple years (aka once his benefactor stops paying lawyers to defend the other charges out against Felix), Felix'll be ready to destroy Obsidian as best he can, and will def. reach out to include Ogata.

That scenario sounds perfect to me - Ogata isn't one for lasting loyalties or establishing friendships ever on the job. He did his part well, got his payout, and vanished as expected...

Ogata loves creating chaos! He'll definitely be on board
