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!

Atsushi Nakajima | Bungou Stray Dogs
Atsushi is a (relatively) good person who grew up in horrible circumstances. He's friendly, polite and even a little timid at times-- but he's also painfully stubborn when it comes to things he cares about and not afraid to call people out on bullshit or punch faces when he has to. He's Seen Some Shit and lived through even more, but he's driven by a powerful survival instinct and a desire to help others initially rooted in his own incredibly low self-esteem and rather unhealthy coping mechanisms.
He was employed with the Armed Detective Agency in his world, so some of what he's learned there is definitely going to be carried over into his work with the foundation.
I'm completely new to SCP things, but this is what I have so far.
Name: Atsushi Nakajima
Canon: Bungou Stray Dogs
Age: 18 (maybe 19?)
AU:
-Probably on the newer side of things, the minimum six months. D-rank though a hard worker. Had some difficulty learning how to use firearms, his aim is terrible. Has some experience working as a detective, so he's decent at what he does... though he's committed to ending things without having to kill.
-probably mainly a field agent. Definitely been on containment missions and has his own powerset he's probably used on the job, which can essentially be summed up as 'changes his limbs into that of a tiger to fight and can regenerate'. regularly destroys his clothing doing this and has probably gotten some scolding for it.
-Homesick. Misses his friends and the Agency terribly. Probably reads a lot in his spare time, often in the break room.
That's the basics I've got down, anyway.
changes/additions
-He had quite a few struggles starting out, homesickness, learning how to use a gun properly, and most importantly, trying to learn to control his own ability without Fukuzawa stabilizing it with his own.
-After some initial wariness, Oda Sakunosuke eventually took pity on his abysmal performance and helped him learn to use a gun better. He's passable now, at least.
-That being said, the skills he'd learned as a member of the Armed Detective Agency do help him navigate things. Once he was out of basic training he was assigned as a field agent, due to his experience, combat based ability and innate regeneration.
-Has heard about the Other Atsushi and met him in passing. Isn't sure what to think about him, but low self esteem + sense of inadequacy definitely plays a part in his avoidance in learning more about him.
-Part of a bookclub with Saki, who has been looking out for him a little. They complain to each other some as coworkers and she tries to perk him up after full moons.
-Has been on Missions with: Nora, Karen, Gonta, George
-There's been at least one occasions on missions where he's killed other agents when he lost control of his ability. He was horrified and barely ate for a week after, and he definitely has some real innate fear regarding his own ability now.
-there was also another occasion he lost control on a mission, but no one died thanks to Nora's intervention-- he wrestled the tiger down until Atsushi reverted back. Atsushi was horrified and disgusted with himself, but grateful. Nora's still kind of a jerk though. There was a lot of property damage.
-has had to be tranq'd and locked up through full moons. It's highly unpleasant for him and brings back memories of his time at the orphanage, so once it's over he's generally drained, miserable and very quiet. Saki occasionally makes him Chazuke after since she notices he responds well to it.
-has also been aided by Azura with her magic, on at least one occasion. She lulled him to a peaceful state of mind through the full moon, and it was something of a relief for him. It wasn't as traumatic as the drugs so he was grateful.

She might also complain at him a little when her missions are especially rough, but she cools it once she's a C-class agent because aw yeah less crummy missions now. Maybe they even did a few field missions together? She can use her cantus to fight somewhat, so maybe they took down an especially tough beast together or something.

Think they would have chatted about their histories in their worlds? Though Saki would have only ever really talked about the surface things where she's from.

He's used to eccentric, to be honest. It might even be a relief because he misses his coworkers and they're all nuts. Good people, but nuts. He'll probably work well with George!

Listen he's perfectly safe to be around people, ok! But yes, this definitely works!

He might ask some questions about his 'Other Self', but he probably won't ask a lot because uh... one of the things the Atsushis have in common is having self-esteem in the negatives. He's going to fully assume the other Atsushi is far more amazing than him.
Also oh no... he'll explain what a hitman is but why??? are you asking???
Re: Atsushi Nakajima | Bungou Stray Dogs
(she does not think to clarify for him that she and cure aqua are the same person so from his perspective this is inexplicable.)
no subject
He will probably not catch on to the Cure stuff unfortunately, so there can be some comedy there.

Let's see... I play a dude who's basically Atsushi's polar opposite and turns into a dog so clearly we need to have dog vs. cat shenanigans at some point. Maybe some idiot at the Foundation decided to put these two on the same mission and then it just spirals, that would be a total disaster but honestly I think it would be hilarious. They both turn back and everything is just a wreck. /o/
Also Nora will totally make fun of him for destroying his clothes like?? You suck at this transformation thing, says the demon who somehow just magically keeps his clothes intact because demons are cheating or something.
no subject
And gooosh yeah it doesn't help that canonically Dazai is his mentor and he's prone to believing in him (Though Canon Dazai is trying to be a better person).... so that's very likely to go to hell quickly.
Also realtalk I am SO HERE for Dog vrs cat antics, I love it when Atsushi meets people who he'll clash with or destroy shit with. He's not exactly the neatest fighter cries...
And listen, he's still figuring out how his ability works don't judge him!!! HE TAKES HIS SHOES OFF FIRST IF HE CAN AT LEAST...
'if he can'. He's gonna go through so many pairs of shoes transforming his legs, please mock him Nora.
no subject
PFFFF I get the feeling everything with Dazai is going to be a mess but vs. Atsushi in particular, time for everything to be on fire! \o/;; And yeah Dog vs. Cat will be amazing, Nora clashes with pretty much anyone he comes into contact with especially upon a first meeting because his default social mode is just yelling and insulting people so. RIP. And he really does a lot of property damage because he likes using big destructive attack spells... and Cerberus is just a whole other mess of its own LOL...
It's too late though Nora judges everyone so I guess at least Atsushi is in good company...! He's just going to ask him how many clothes got destroyed since last time every time he runs into him. Just drags him to the moon it's fine. Atsushi can probably retaliate by asking how many dog treats he's gotten since the last time because why wouldn't SCP agents keep giving him dog food/treats as a joke. Such is the life of a hellhound ~
no subject
traumatizingfun experience to struggle through for 6 months....Maybe Nora can wrestle his tiger form sometime on a mission gone bad and he'll be extremely apologetic and horrified after?
And gosh yes please to the clashing, Atsushi is fantastically petty and argumentative when someone properly pisses him off. He will definitely throw comments about dog treats and maybe dog breath don't worry
