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.

Oooh yes, I do like this. Maybe a support group online or something, if we need some reason why they came together pre-game. Otherwise, I'm definitely interested in pursuing CR with these two. Terra and Celica I feel share a lot in canon, especially when it comes to being kind, but not being able to express emotions when it comes to connecting with others.

Online support group sounds like a good idea!

Terra has a tendency of just casually mentioning really upsetting details of her life and then not elaborating at all so if they haven't done a RL meetup by the time the game starts it'd probably be a good excuse for Celica to look for her, maybe?

Awesome.

That could work too. She would be a bit alarmed and seek her out, so that gives us a start if you wanted to go with that. I could go either way myself. She's just coming back to the states herself so.
