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.

Hey there, I've decided to app Leonard! Here's his AU workshop. You're free to decide what Felix knows about the lab and what that means, but as you can see, myself and another player have decided that Charon was a rival to Invention Labs from the pharmaceutical industry.

The good news is, Felix didn't always pay attention in criminal class, so he probably knows less than he should about everything. He'll be able to identify the major players from the company (such as the director and the au equivalent of the leaderboard freelancers), and even that might have been partially forgotten once Invention Labs went down.


Hmmmm..... on the thought of Charon being in the pharmaceutical industry, maybe Chorus is a charity organisation that has something to do with providing medical care/education to a small country that Hargrove honestly wanted to stay in a bad state of disrepair bc he made a lot of money off shady things there. Felix's involvement might have had something to do with ensuring Chorus was not successful by doing things behind the scenes under the guise of volunteering his time with the charity. I've been unable to pin down what the AU for the Chorus job could have been and that feels suitable.

That explanation for Chorus makes sense! And I didn't even think of who the 'freelancers' might be...maybe they should be the doctors that Leonard employed to do the stem cell research and such. I imagine him giving them privileges and perks in exchange for more research completed, their ranking being equivalent to the leaderboard.
