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!

Oh, absolutely, it's a day in the life/Tuesday when Nora completely forgets what he was arguing about because he was so focused on being right he forgot to keep track of the actual conversation. It's stupid. He's very bad at this. And honestly Sandy is free to physically yeet him or something because he is very much the type to follow around and argue smh.......
Oh god though lmao the best way to get him to do stupid shit is to condescend like this, watch him end up guzzling coffee all the time and HATING IT EVER MORE thanks Sandy you're just making this worse I'm crying--
at some point he just throws coffee at him and yeah they're going to get banned from the kitchenHeheh yeah knocking out Cerberus is fine with me tbh, it's a relatively rare occurrence for the doge to go completely berserk but when it happens it's a mess. Overall it can be a combination of either 1. Waiting it out/weakening/delaying until Nora reseals himself to human OR 2. Just straight up overpowering the dog and I think Sandy is probably capable of 2 either way. :)
And I mean yeah omg competitions while you're supposed to be clearing a mission and friendly fire is absolutely Nora's brand we can do this stupid thing (it might even be done more than once given /waves at everything about this CR already LOL). Like, they've probably done the whole -- STOP INTERRUPTING US WHILE WE'RE FIGHTING /EXECUTES A PERFECTLY SYNCHRONIZED SMACKDOWN thing. /o/
no subject
tbh Sandy's more likely to just try and fly the fuck away because he's had enough!!! leave him be!!! so what i mean is that their stupidity will probably continue in the yard with Sandy on the roof or something. or with him trying to retreat to his room and trying to keep Nora out as he slams the door.
but omg Nora... why!! he's such a disaster dafdfa he's great... suddenly kitchen fights are making a lot more sense with caffeine-hyped dog demon on the loose
and if coffee also gets banned Sandy will be salty forever--ahaha yeah i don't expect doggo containment to have happened to him more than once probs but he'd definitely have some questions for Nora afterwards because general stupidity is one thing, but being a threat to everyone else is no bueno. it will probably be the least productive interrogation ever.
ouo!! other teammates groan while the two of them snipe at each other but can't deny that they get the job done (sometimes)
no subject
Nora is extremely stupid and bullheaded so he would end up yelling at/climbing on the roof or just yelling at the door for like an hour. Don't underestimate his ability to be really really stubborn and unshakable about dumb shit pffffff, he is truly a disaster doge both metaphorically and literally. But yeah caffeine would make it worse, lmao.
I'm sorry Sandy this is your life now. They're going to have to smuggle caffeine from Site 2 or something depending on what site it gets banned at.....Yup having to contain Cerberus is relatively rare just because it takes exceptional circumstances to actually send it berserk since Nora himself is kind of cautious/freaked out about it but his contract means that it's basically up to the Foundation how Cerberus is used and like, lol. Nice containment everyone, bang-up job. Nora would basically just blame his shitty Foundation master probably and refuse to talk about the details while trying very badly to change the subject. /laughs We can hash out minor details over discord at some point if you want!!
The job is so done it's actually been burnt to a crisp. \o/
no subject
god, Nora's just going to keep chasing him while yakety sax plays in the background huh, this is indeed his life now
so salty... meanwhile everyone else who needs coffee to function is also mad at themouo i'd be up for discussing the the details more!! although this will be one (1) thing he can't actually hold against Nora because he totally does believe the Foundation is stupid enough to send out uncontrollable monsters to contain worse (???) ones so. that's something
no subject
Yeah honestly a lot of Nora's life is yakety-sax so this would fit right in?? So I guess their CR is now just coffee challenges and yelling....... and no coffee after a while. Honestly Nora would be so smug about coffee getting banned because he didn't like it anyway and then blame Sandy for it to anybody else who's getting salty.
How much salt is there in this mystery site.... how much....Hahaha it's absolutely something the Foundation would do and Nora's probably just like GRUMBLES because it isn't completely unlike what he was doing at home but??? He doesn't like these guys at all?? And the folks at home at least know to be cautious of Cerberus but welp. We can hash out the details over discord ye ~
