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!

Late to the party here
They decided he was caught up enough after he patched into the base's PA speakers and started a loop play of 'What Does The Fox Say'. Introducing Kurama to the modern internet was a terrible idea.
He's a more than competent agent, though, between his fighting skills and his tactical capabilities. He even does his paperwork correctly and on time!
There is a note in his file that he isn't to be sent for plant-based SCPs. His powers make him uniquely suited for them, yes, but he would want to keep them.
He's not happy with his situation. He's far from blind to the ugly side of the Foundation and while he cooperates because many SCPs are legitimate large scale threats, he despises their methods and the entire concept of 'D-class'. When it comes to SCPs that are both sentient and not a threat, there's a building anger to him that might be a problem someday.
Which would be part of why he conveniently failed to bring Vanitas in when he ran into him on a mission. Oops. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ He had to prioritize his original mission objectives~
He spends his down time catching up on the twenty years of video games and pop culture he missed, and honestly he's become nearly symbiotic with his smartphone. He might be pretty and charming but he's also a huge nerd.
