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!

Canon: B: The Beginning
Age: 19
Time in Foundation: 1 Year
Agent Rank: D-Class, on the cusp of C Class
AU History:
◙ Initially he was pretty uncooperative during intake! He didn't try to fight the interviewer but he did yell a lot and threaten them. But after about a week or so he did a pretty sharp 180 and completely changed his tune. Weird, maybe?!
◙ Training did not take long at all because Koku is more than an adept fighter, and he's familiar with tech as well (though he dislikes using his phone/computers and only does it when necessary). He also probably knew English beforehand.
◙ After that he likely spent sometime in one of the bases just being checked out by various scp doctors/agents because of his powers.
◙ Once they were reasonably sure he wasn't going to go week 1 redux on them, he's been both a front line fighter as well as used for precision targets.
◙ He's been bouncing around sites wherever he's needed the most, and he's pretty friendly though won't necessarily go out of his way to be social but will chat up people if it looks like they need help.
◙ In his downtime you can find him playing the violin! Occasionally you can find him in the kitchen making things like gumbo, soups, and comfort meals. He can't bake at all, but he will more than happily trade for baked goods esp red bean buns.
Personality:
◙ Koku is laid back, friendly, and generally very helpful and kind about 75% of the time! ...On missions he's very determined, cold, aggresive, no-nonsense but don't take this to mean boring because he has this whole shounen transformation thing going on where he sprouts wings, turns ebony, gains a mystical eye and a bladed arm + leg. just look for yourself here.
◙ While he's pretty friendly he's not very open eith information about himself, and he will 100% redirect the topic to his conversation partner.
◙ He's used to working alone, but he's completely willing to be a team player even if he might zip off sometimes oops. But he will totally come back to save if a teammate is in trouble once he's done tunnel visioning.
◙ His attitude towards the Foundation is amiable and while he's not the type to suck up he's probably asked any other higher agents if they needed help with anything. And he is for sure gunning for C-Class.
Misc:
◙ While he diligently will submit his paperwork/post mission debriefs, he.. handwrites them for some reason? Sorry not sorry?
◙ Anything that needs handiwork he's happy to look at/attempt to restore, his specialty is wood working.
◙ He likes to hear about history!
Desired CR:
◙ One of his powers is the ability to erase memories. This is something the Foundation only let him test out on other agents in the past few months, but I'd love to play this out with someone \o.
◙ Sparring partners/mission partners. He's pretty different in mission/fighting mode and he is very much looking to get stronger. As far as power scales go he has insane regeneration, and equally insane speed. We're talking moving so fast it looks like he's teleporting, and being able to eat multiple katana's in his abdomen. His blades are made of a blue alloy that can slice through pretty much anything.
◙ ...Someone who can make clothes/ a tailor cause like. Every time he grows his wings RIP that shirt.
◙ Doctor/medical cr! He has a lot going on as a demihuman and he's really very used to people poking and prodding at him.

...it might be a bit awk when koku defaults back to :) mode given vanitas in general! Its very much a light switch thing but yes he does want all the combat exp he can get.

and eating itthis is still v much a mood with him OKANYWAY you reminded me this guy was probably poked and prodded for a while when they put him away too for fighting the interviewer lol. Fellow frontline fighters \o/ maybe he will mooch food \o/ even though he has nothing to trade, just feed him so he doesn't whine at you all the time it's fine (or just tease him with food that's also fine ww).
Also Nora is going to side-eye him (he side-eyes a lot of people tbf) for his weird personality switcheroo, why this. Him with nonhumans but especially nonhumans like this is just like IS THIS A
BUTTERFLYDEMON?? meme, honestly. It might take a while for him to get curious enough to really prod at it, so WE SHALL SEE about training/stuff.P.S. He is so easy to confuse tbh just redirect him all the time he's never going to get to the topic of the thing.

although with Sandy being Sandy, friend is a somewhat relative term but he'll likely take an interest in Koku either way because he'd probs... think he's a fallen angel at first and be pretty wary laughs. honestly he'd be pretty direct with asking Koku what he is and basically turning it into an interrogation because what is subtlety rip.
if that misunderstanding ever gets cleared up, I think they'd be able to work pretty well together during missions because he would appreciate the no-nonsense aspect of his personality because he's all for getting these things done as speedily and efficiently as possible ☆ Their powersets also match together well enough, especially since he has some zoning capability due to magical swords + light-based shit so he could provide cover for Koku when he's meleeing things up \o/ He doesn't usually spar but he might humour Koku if asked though; he typically uses a sword.
outside of missions they'd probably most likely run into each other in the kitchen because waves hands at coffee shit
