AU Planning Meme - Pre-Game

[phantommods]

Welcome to the first AU Workshop for Phantom Thieves International! This post is intended to help incoming players plot their AU and figure out who their characters are in this setting and where they want to go. This is completely optional but players are encouraged to use this post to establish some pre-existing CR and goals for their characters.

CURRENT EVENTS

The following events will be occuring in the setting as the game begins:

-There’s an open casting call for extras for the production of an artsy film by a well-known Hollywood producer.
-Pop superstar Leanna Rapide is playing at the Staples Center. Tickets are almost entirely sold out.
-There has been an uptick in vandalism in Chinatown and Japantown, including anti-Asian graffiti as well as light damages to local independent shops and restaurants.
-Tensions remain high as police continue to conduct drug raids in poorer neighborhoods not seen since the height of the war on drugs.

Player Name: Phi
Character Name: Gallerian Marlon, Gallagher (insert surname here)
Original Canon: Evillious Chronicles
AU Role: Accomplice, or maybe Operator? Idk.
AU Species: Human
Arcana: Heirophant
AU History Blurb: Growing up in an affluent family, attending Harvard Law School in his youth, and going on to become a lawyer and then judge. Gallagher has a ten year career as a judge, and is a fairly well respected figure of the law. Gallagher had also made numerous questionable decisions in his life, including becoming a teen dad at one point, getting involved in a legal conspiracy involving major corporations, and overall having witnessed much of the corruption of the system from within it. Composed, formal, and also a complete workaholic. I mean pretty much most of his family is dead anyways so not like he has much else than 60 hour work weeks. He is very much in favor of legal reform, although he isn’t wholly open about it. While not a Persona user himself, he acts as the thieves’ insider with the law. Also he’s, not corrupt as hell like in canon but he still loves his money.
Tentative Plans for character: Gall is fundamentally conflicted, between his position and between what he thinks is morally right. It is a conflict between his own personal morals, and society’s morals. While he knows that by aiding the thieves as he is he has to stand by those convictions, or else suffer the consequences, he wonders whether or not those convictions are write in the first place. And whether or not by acting on them, he’s going to truly be able to change anything in the first place.
Pre-Established CR: Probably other law people, not like he gets out much otherwise. Also he has a bastard daughter (zangenasai), so that’s fun.
Desired CR: Please let him Dad people. Please. Also it’d be nice for him to meet people who are far less lawful than he is, it’d make for some interesting developments. But yeah I’m up for anything really.

Dad? Yukio has rotten luck with dad's but third time is the charm?

[moneymoneymoney666]

I mean... Gall has zero demon contracts in this universe so yeah, Yukio is probably fine. Probably.

What's the worse that could happen? Lol! Looks like I had roped me a Rin too! So would he be up for two twin boys that have a murderous cult leader father after them?

[moneymoneymoney666]

Yes. What could possibly go wrong?
