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: Shini
Character Name: Sinbad. In AU, full name is Sinbad Tisoni
Original Canon: Magi - Sinbad no Bouken
AU Role: Infiltrator
AU Species: Human
Arcana: Chariot or Emperor
AU History Blurb: The child of a Lebanese-american woman from Ohio, and a naturalized Iraqi immigrant, he got some ambitions into breaking into the music business with sick guitar shreds and lyric writing. His dad unfortunately is currently in jail due to a dockworker's strike gone south. Sinbad and his mother insisted that their father never hit anyone.
Tentative Plans for character: A mix of trying to figure out the events that lead up to his dad's arrest, the trials of trying to get into the music scene, and general trouble with a High school brat who has issues with authority.
Pre-Established CR: Generally I play him as an only child, but siblings or other relatives would be great. Maybe some friends as part of a garage band of sorts.
Desired CR: Close friends - both troublemakers like him and those trying to keep him out of trouble, maybe mentors in the performing arts, and people he can regularly butt heads with over ideas. Also he does a lot of part-time jobs to help his mom out, so coworkers or teachers concerned about his grades can work.

did somebody say garage band?

b/c every garage band needs a bassist, right

[conquerorofwaves]

Yep, Sinbad mains guitar and is the songwriter, he can sing but he'll leave it up to someone who got a way better voice for it.

[effthecops]

mae can't sing worth a crap (or at least she doesn't think she can) but she can shred a mean bass

that's a lie, no she can't, she can just pluck on the strings alright and pretend BUT THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH ISN'T IT

[conquerorofwaves]

Everyone's gotta start somewhere.
