Round 4 AU Workshop
In Round 4, all characters will be veteran Agents. That means they have been Agents for at least 6 months, and up to 2 years. This post can be used for sorting out that AU history.
Arrival at the Foundation
Arrival at the Foundation will generally follow this pattern:
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.
Rankings
If a character survives being a D-class agent for long enough, they have the potential to become a C-class agent. C-class agents are generally given better assignments (to Safe SCPs with well-known containment protocols), and often are expected to be the 'leader' for groups of D-class agents.
For this round, your character can potentially be a C-class agent if they meet the following qualifications:
1: They have been at the Foundation for longer than 6 months.
2: They have been generally cooperative with the Foundation.
3: They have a particularly useful skill (mundane or otherwise) or a useful power.
If they don't fit those requirements, go with D-class to be on the safe side.
AU personality
Depending on the length of time they have been at the Foundation, a character's personality may be somewhat different from how they are in canon. This is to be expected, given the kind of work the Foundation does. However, characters should still be recognizable as themselves, and all changes in personality need to be explained on your app.
Any AU history or personality changes that are not listed on your app will not be considered canon for this game!
TL;DR -
- Characters will be agents of the Foundation.
- They can be there for anywhere from 'six months' to 'two years'.
- 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!

This is Giriko from Soul Eater. He's a chaotic evil scumbag who turns into a chainsaw and is so ridiculously loyal to a witch made of spiders that he's spent the last 800 years bodysnatching his own children to give himself a kind of parasitic immortality so he can continue to protect a woman who kind of treats him like garbage. Then the protags killed the witch and if you thought he was full of hate and bloodlust before oh boy
(Side note I'll probably be going with she/her pronouns because Giriko is a very... "I have tits I'm a woman now fuck you" type of person who is not inclined to think too deeply about gender)
SCP-wise, Giriko's probably been around just under a year. C-class, someone put her in charge of managing D-class agents on missions because she's actually got skills in that and just gets pissed off when agents die, not upset.
Her two big skills are making enchanted golems for grunt work/basic protection and also turning into a giant chainsaw (or turning parts of her body into chainsaw parts). Her hobbies are drinking, fighting, and actually that's about it.
She's got basically no personality changes because once you're an 800 year old man child fueled by hate you're kind of stuck there.

I want CR. I got nothing for HOW, other than hurray for characters who don't really care for gender one way or another?
They might have just run into each other on missions though.
no subject
But yeah working on missions together would make a lot of sense. Giriko would uh... not be impressed by the fashion or makeup or duck wing hair.

Nora's just the reincarnation of a several-thousand-year-old-at-least hellhound so really he has no room to talk but he's still going to side-eye her like. Bodysnatching and spiders and chainsaws and the whole schtick is like, horror B-movie stuff?? He knows how this goes because he's watched too much TV, pls. (He really has no room to talk Nora you are literally a demon)
Anyway I think this CR is going to be hilarious. Oh yeah and this is Fyre I always forget to name myself on different journals.
no subject
and don't worry she's like, totally self-aware about chainsaws being like, a hallmark of slasher films. she's real good at that kind of thing.

This is going to be such ridiculous CR honestly what the heck. Is she going to freak him out on purpose please say yes, it would be so easy and especially as a dog he would jump so many feet into the air bc he has wings, too.
Just jumping straight up with his mane puffing out like a cat--

giriko would absolutely 100% be terrible at nora especially once she realizes she can get a rise out of him
