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!

Age: 15
Rank: D-class, Thaumiel in training
Yoshi here has been around the Foundation for over a year now, from May 2018 to May 2019 He's been working as a thaumiel in training due to his power to see everything as data and convert that data into something understandable, thus making it entirely possible for him to learn everything about whatever he's looking at. Likely from about May 2018 to October of 2018, he was assigned on missions that might have caused the deaths of some escapee agents, as his power is useful for tracking people down. He was pretty much fine with this and super loyal to the Foundation during that time, because it was "for the greater good." Since then he's learned better and started turning down those requests, though he'll still help anyone with pretty much anything they request as long as he doesn't see a way it could hurt anyone.
Pro tip: it's possible to get around that if you're cleverer than he is.
He's extremely good at tech and can in theory make just about anything using his power, and on top of that he's a total pushover and will do "almost literally anything" people ask of him, as long as it doesn't involve loss of organs or death on his part. Push him around! Bully him! He'll take it all with a smile. Since he came back from R2, he's been more genuinely friendly and caring instead of just kind of blanket helping anyone who asks.
He's around Site 2 (Canada) if anyone wants him /o/
no subject
Goro would have been coldly cooperative with Yoshi if they ever worked together.
Either way, boy does he Not Like Him. It'll show in just about every way possible, depending on interactions.
no subject
As mentioned in chat, his palace is probably easy enough to use as a training ground. It's probably something like keyword: computer for the whole dang site since his desire is to be a useful program.
no subject
Stop being such an easy target for bullying. :/ Stand up for yourself, you pathetic weakling!!!
Man, that would hit Goro where it hurts, too, and just make his issues towards him skyrocket, LAUGHS....... Because, like most people, all he wants is to be useful and needed.
no subject
Yoshi probably doesn't even have a desire to be needed ahaha, just useful is enough. It's totally cool if people throw him away after they get what they want /o/
I'm so sorry
no subject
He REALLY HATES THAT WAY OF THINKING, TOO
Cry, Yoshi probably pissed him off enough for Goro to very nearly punch him - if not, actually punch him.........
If he hit him, he'd feel so conflicted, because that wouldn't make him feel even a little better. Just worse. And thus would begin a spiral of getting angry and nearly snapping/actually snapping. Someone help this disaster, christ.
no subject
I'm fine with him having been punched, his usual reaction is to just smile through it and accept it, sasso. Did that help? Does it make it easier if he has someone to punch? Ah, but try not to actually kill him, ahaha ☆
no subject
God, the smiling would make it worse, probably ... But, at least it would all go quickly, given... how little reaction there is. Most likely, he only hit him twice, at most, since he'd wind up even more frustrated with himself.
He hates bullies a lot, and this would make him feel like a big one, whoops.
... Cue him secretly doing nice things for Yoshi after that??? And all that stuff was probably what happened during their early days of interacting, since. He'd be trying to be on his best behavior during a majority of the second year with the Foundation.
no subject
Continues to lose points via being garbage
no subject
He would probably have played dumb, ngl. He has! No idea what you're talking about!!! (see: icon expression)
no subject
And then my phone froze. But anyway, if they met again after R2 he might have improved a little... maybe...
no subject
And, somehow, Goro improves a little during that brief separation, so... IDK MAYBE THEIR CR TURNS ALMOST NOT NEGATIVE AFTER THAT
They could just be [ FB Status: It's Complicated ] zone, or something........
no subject
...But his palace still exists and has pretty much the same themes, there's just pictures of people in there now.
no subject
Maybe he'll figure that out during this round, or something, laughs.
Although, maybe he would dryly point out it's great Yoshi's trying to help out of an actual desire to help. Maybe.
Possibly????
