R3 - Foundation AU plotting post
Welcome! If you're here, then that means you're ready to make your AU history for your character.
For Round 3, all characters entering the game will be agents of the Foundation. This means that they must have either willingly joined the Foundation, or they were coerced into joining. The exact motivation is up to you, but the end result will be the same: they will be a D-class agent for the Foundation.
The process goes something like this:
1: Your character won't remember exactly how they were removed from their world. As far as they know, their memories just 'cut off' abruptly at whatever canon point you choose for them. They will have the feeling that there is a gap in there somewhere, but they won't be aware of how long it is or what happened during that time. Their first memory after this gap will always be the same: waking up naked in a cold room with a large, strange machine nearby. Regardless of what they were wearing before, they will now be wearing an orange jumpsuit.
2: Shortly after awakening, they will be taken from the room with the strange machine and brought to what looks like an interrogation room. In there, they will have their intake interview. The interview will vary based on how your character responds to being questioned, but in the end they will either agree to be an agent or end up being subdued and locked away in a cell until they agree to cooperate. Here are some examples of the intake interview: (1), (2), (3).
3: After the intake interview, characters will be taken away for training. This will vary based on what your character already knows, but by the end of it they will be proficient in the following: technology use (on par with 2019, as well as the use of Foundation-specific tech), reading and writing (in English, which all characters are suddenly able to speak), firearm use, containment protocol basics, and testing/training in using their powers. This process could last as little as a couple days (long enough to test out of all the training) to a few months (for people who know none of that and need to learn everything).
4: After their training is done, characters will start being assigned on missions. Characters will generally be assigned to tasks that fit their talents, but you can expect any mission they are sent on as D-class agents to be very dangerous. Casualties will be common. If you want, you can have your character be injured on a mission, but they will need to be fully healed by the time Round 3 starts. There are healers working for the Foundation, so you can say the damage was healed away.
For Round 3, steps 1 and 2 are mandatory! Your character must get through at least the intake interview. However, you may have them working for the Foundation for up to six months, which is enough time to get through training and take a couple missions. Any length of time between 'just finished the interview' to 'six months as an agent' are acceptable for Round 3. The other requirement is that they cannot permanently die during their time with the Foundation prior to the start of Round 3. Temporary death is possible, since there are plenty of ghost-power-people within the Foundation who will shove souls back into bodies, but if someone dies and a ghost-catcher isn't right there then they are dead for good, and they can't be apped to Round 3.
TL;DR -
- Characters will be agents of the Foundation.
- They can be there for anywhere from 'finished the interview' to 'six months'.
- You must write up a summary of their AU history.
- You must also explain how this AU history has affected their personality.
- Time matters! Someone who only did the intake interview will be pretty much the same as they are in canon. Someone who has been with the Foundation for a few months will have Seen Some Shit, and their personality will probably have changed a bit.
As a final note, you must seek permission from other players before you may use their character in your character's AU history! If you want to have your character trained by Atsushi, for example, then you must ask Atsushi's player for permission, and we will seek confirmation from that player. Apps that fail this step will be automatically rejected!
So go ahead and get planning!

Gebura | Lobotomy Corporation
-She's been here for roughly six months.
-Wound up agreeing to join pretty quickly, once she found out that she's basically going to be working for Lobotomy Corporation but with a lower body count (somehow)
-Her duties tend towards combat stuff, which makes sense considering that she has a wide variety of weapons that can even hurt SCPs that would normally be immune to physical damage. Still, she's probably lost limbs a couple times. (It's fine, they were repaired and reattached, possibly by rats.)
-The Foundation probably has a small armory consisting entirely of weapons and armor pulled from Gebura's body. While the stuff inside is generally classed as "safe", the section place is locked up with unusually high security due to the fact that many of the equipment have compulsion, tactile, and infohazard properties. Which is to say, they will mess you up if someone not appropriate were to touch them.
-Off-duty, she mostly spends her time training or training other people, sometimes bringing some of her weapons out of her armory to help teach new people "muscle memory", exploiting the fact that EGO weapons cause the wielder to instinctively understand the best way to use it as long as they're holding it. If anyone wants weird EGO weapon related incidents, just tell me. (Psst, there's a weapon that looks like an ordinary gun that gives the wielder a compulsion to shave their head, if someone wants to inadvertently try it because it's the only gun that doesn't look like a toy, we can have a noodle incident.)
-She's actually a lot... calmer than she is in canon? It turns out that when people aren't dying horribly in front of her every day with her unable to do anything, she chills out a bit.
-As a result, she's... actually okay with the Foundation? Yes, the casualty levels could be improved, but it's still way better than what she had in canon, and she can actually help change that by giving people outside her division proper fighting training? Sure they don't treat us like humans, but that's not any different from Lobotomy either.
-She'll still call everyone weak and insist on using Lobotomy Corporation classifications, though. After several months she has finally accepted that Object Classification is fine with the Lobotomy classifications mixed in, but she's probably annoyed quite a few people by talking about "Safe Zayins", "Euclid Waws", and "Keter Alephs".

Just please don't let him use the gun unless he absolutely needs to. The last time he got hooked up to something that messed with his mind, he went mad with power.

(And in noodle incidents)

...This spring, you too can have literally beaten someone over the head with Christmas in the past. It's made of Christmas spirit! ...Which is to say, irritating Christmas songs that won't get out of your head, probably.

Of course, it also has a horror story that was only revealed in the art book and never gets brought up in canon, because of course we can't have nice things even in the tutorial.

So yeah, canon has three abnormalities listed as "magical girls", and they're... very effective at killing lots of people quickly if they breach. One of those also tends to break out to try and "help"... Except if too many people die while she's out, she turns into a dragon and just adds to the chaos. She uh... is not fond of magical girls.
Still, great opportunity for negative CR, right? Especially if someone calls her out on her bias about it, since confrontation is how she learns.

SO this is going great.

But yeah, sparring is always okay! Let her fight all the people specialized in fighting!

Anon will be so excited to have all these fighting people to keep in shape. ☆
