Xie Lian
Family Head
AU Link

Shigure
Courier
AU Link

For this world, only the above roles are plot-protected. They cannot be usurped or recreated. Otherwise on this AU Plotting Post, feel free to go wild! Volunteer to be the Right Hand of the Family Head, be the child of the former deceased mayor, you can even be another traitor if you'd like, do whatever your heart craves.

To elaborate on the purpose of the Courier, they essentially are the one-man postal service for the entire town. So please make liberal use of the Courier Mail Service if you're looking to have anything delivered across 'enemy lines', have gifts you want to send, are looking to get in direct contact with a Family Head, or even send stuff anonymously. It's highly encouraged in order to make sure that we keep our Courier running!

In addition, two roles are hidden amongst the Remixed characters. The Traitor and The Family Dog are both hidden roles and finding them is vital to the world's plot and the final decision! So get a hunting. :')

Mod Characters.
Mod Characters aren't necessarily role-holders who directly influence the plot, but if you ever feel lost in the AU, feel free to reach out to us and we'll get you hooked onto something!

[TWO FAMILIES]

The Xian Le Family, with Xie Lian as its head, upholds the core values of Grace and Loyalty. A family that previously relied on political collections, they once enjoyed the backing of the town's mayor in order to acquire power and lived luxurious lifestyles. However given the death of the mayor half a year earlier, and then the assassination of the Xian Le heads two months ago, the family now finds itself in a bit of turmoil. Unrest grows as smaller sects within the family are beginning to turn toward more nefarious acts in order to stabilize themselves. Knights, Nomads, and Rulers will be sorted into this family.

The Mori Family, with Chuuya Nakahara as its head, upholds the core values of Loyalty Above All Else as well as presenting a United Front. Previously there were many smaller families that existed in opposition to the Xian Le Family and were consolidated over the years into the Mori Family for strength in numbers. The former head before Chuuya was more paranoid and defensive, but would do anything in order to ensure the survival of their families and their comfort. However the general rule of thumb is that as long as you don't do anything to disgrace the family, you're good to go. Artists, Mages, and Thieves will be sorted into this family.

As per the last AU, if you wish for your character to be in a different family from the one they're sorted into - that's fine! Their faction will determine which one they were born into, but you can build their AU based on their swaying convictions if you so choose - but understand that there will be considerable IC pressure not to! Characters can also choose to be Neutral. It's difficult, but not impossible.

[LOCATION]
The AU will take place entirely on a small, sleepy town by the name of Montevallo! A river runs down the middle of town, and there are a number of bridges that will allow people to cross over it, but there is also a neutral zone that remains standing at the very center. The neutral zone contains a town hall, a school, the only bar in town (15's the drinking age), and the only ammunitions shop. There is no hospital, but characters are free to have their own individual practices. Isn't that nice?

The Xian Le live to the West of the river, whereas The Mori live to the East of the river. There are also warehouses, businesses, and houses on both sides, belonging to the people who belong to that family. Characters are free to claim ownership of whatever land they'd like! Outside of the town, they're surrounded by a forest that is overrun with bears, wolves, and moose. (Meese? Moosen? Moose.) Overall, the climate is rather temperate with the occasional rainy day.

For this world, there is no magic. Remixed characters will forfeit canon powers while they are remixed.

Additional location information will be provided on the opening mingle!

[POLITICS]
The mayor of the town died about half a year ago and well, considering that there are these powerful mafia families about - what use was there in trying to appoint a new one? Clerical staff still exists in order to deal with the nitty gritty administration in the places they can but well, it's the underworld's town and what they say goes.

They say that lately the families are trying to coexist but… who can say how well that's going to go?

[AESTHETIC]
Anna got to go on Pinterest. Please review her hard work. While these are provided to help give an idea of fashion and architecture, they are just guides! Do what your heart pleases as long as you don't break the general guidelines of the AU.

[TECHNOLOGY]
There is no wi-fi password because there is no wi-fi!

That's right, characters will be stuck in the olden days. Major forms of correspondence will be through mail and telephone booth. If you really want to telegram, you can. However there are no televisions, computers, or any form of digital technology. There's radio though? Lamp posts decorate the streets and your cars don't have seatbelts!

We die like men.

[UPCOMING-EVENTS]
Friday, January 31st: Date Auction. :) As a show of good faith between the two families, they will be mingling together for a good old fashioned date auction, you know, for charity. Please sign up your character here! You can also have someone else sign them up if they wouldn't do it themselves. We will later be crowdsourcing writing blurbs for them as well. ;)

Friday, February 14th: It's Valentine's Day, baby! A classic tradition for the town is to participate in a lantern festival where lovers and those who wish for love float their boat down the river.

Break-Ins: Well, with all those warehouses, don't you think they're just asking to be opened? The mods will be taking sign-ups for break-ins throughout the weeks that other events aren't happening.

[PLOTTING-FORM]
Well, without further ado...! Please use the following form to proceed with your plotting.

Player Name: Ari!
Character Name: obi-wan kenobi
Remixed or Original: Remixed..!!
Family:Xian Le leaning neutral.

Remixed Occupation: Martial Arts Instructor turned babysitter turned small business owner?
Remixed Backstory:

we’re doing this fast and loose i don’t fucking know what i’m doing fam

we’re gonna say obi-wan had ties to the former head of the family for whatever reason. given his teachers habit of knowing the most shadiest people we can absolutely say those two were friends and at some point he was introduced at a young age

after his teacher-dad was murdered in some dispute with a They Should Be Gone family, obi-wan was taken care of by the heads and given a job in the household as a tutor?

which means yea he’s the one harping on xie lian 99% of the time. it’s like nothing ever changed.

since he was an apprentice monk martial artist he continued that training and is ridiculously talented in all sorts of weaponry but mostly swords and the like.

he also doubles an assassin since no one really would pay that much attention to that nerdy professor looking guy

he’s semi retired now and works as a bookshop owner but still has close ties with the rest

Looking for:

please be his shady friends.

that being said, I’M OPEN TO EVERYTHING? give me friends, family, people he spars and flirts terribly with?

[goldenrepair]

ARI

please give me obi cr bc jc and obi are pretty much of similar ages and they can be very tired together

[infinitesadness]

oh my god

absolutely. please let him pet all the doggo's he's very tsun about not being terribly attached to while he complains about the latest round of shenanigans

[goldenrepair]

HAHA GOD okay yes. it'll be great. i love them already. i mean i love obi already too but LISTEN.

i just realized obi and him are similar age but he'll probably get anakin vibes from jc i really hate that

[rateup]

ARIIII can i have itaru come by obi's shop every now and then for medical books and shit. they can be huge nerds together hell yes

[infinitesadness]

HELLA. he probably sets aside the more obscure ones for itaru to browse through before it gets added to the shelves. i'm sure they've also compared herbal remedies and whatnot because haha, monk training.

[rateup]

YESSSS they'll have to do what they can in this internet-less world u_u im crying bc they're both pretty modern guys originally but now they're gonna live like wild animals for the next few weeks RIP

[osuni]

HELLO PLEASE let okuni be one of his gremlin martial arts students back in the day. she probably needles him from time to time to fight an underground boxing match in that extremely persistent and annoying way so ENJOY THAT OBI-WAN KENOBI

[infinitesadness]

GOD!!!!! His gremlin students are the best and worst blight of his life. it kills me that he probably grumbles his way into the boxing match and enjoys it far too much? okuni no bully.......

[osuni]

im wheezing it's fine obi-wan absolutely has a fan club that just congregates whenever he's at the boxing ring.... okuni may have encouraged this okay, the dilf factor is good for business (im crying im sorry obi-wan)

also xie lian is absolutely gonna show up at the boxing ring one day so obi-wan has to yell at them BOTH of course

[givethemhell]

FORMER ASSASSIN FRIENDS???? please let wwx give obi-wan reasons to just be constantly tired and dying on the inside

[infinitesadness]

WELL IT'D CERTAINLY EXPLAIN HOW THEY KNOW EACH OTHER.

[givethemhell]

sometimes you just murder some people and then retire it's fine ALSO TO GO OFF YOUR IDEA YA PLEASE LET OBI-WAN LIVE IN THE APARTMENT AND WWX CAN BE PARTIME HELP

[dianxias]

thanks for being the substitute guoshi

xie lian voice ) i'll take the third path

[infinitesadness]

u_u someone has to look out for these nerds

meanwhile, obi-wan, screaming in the background like he wasn't guiding him towards this way the whole time.

[souheki]

so like

lan wangji is mori fam but he's also a giant fucking nerd so he probably... hangs out in the bookstore... a lot...

[infinitesadness]

as long as they leave all chaos outside his shelves, obi-wan welcomes all into his shop. the fact that lwj is nice, polite and courteous gets his automatic approval. u_u

also the fact that he lives in wwx's building means shenanigans so :eyes:

[suddenlybees]

I wish Kano would learn to fight but he will never learn to fight and instead, sometimes he comes running into the bookshop covered in bruises and sporting a bloody nose and hides amongst the shelves and goes shh at Obi-wan bc you're not allowed to raise your voice or fight inside a bookstore and so he's safe here, just ignore him

[infinitesadness]

oh my god. obi-wan just sends whoever comes charging in looking for them with sharp words and nonchalantly directs kano to the hidden first aid kid under the shelves the first time and then every other time shoos him into the employee's section? congrats you're adopted a part timer now.

[quickpersuader]

Kino was born into Xian Le and from a young age turned out to be a genius when it comes to marksmanship, so she received some training in that until she ditched out at age twelve (four years ago) only to return now at age sixteen as a traveler. Maybe she was originally training as another assassin until she decided fuck it I'm outtie?

[infinitesadness]

ngl he probably had a hand in it. or at least was the one making shrugging noises when they questioned him about it. can't have done anything while he was training the others right? absolutely didn't contact his contacts to see her out safely without being seen.

[bywolves]

okay so i'm already loving obi and royce as it is, so??? friends?? assassin friends??

royce is shady but he's mostly responsible so he won't show up half dead or anything, but. he also likes books so he'll just come over and climb into the rafters and read maybe, and like smuggle obi some illegal tea or... something

[infinitesadness]

shady friend squad \o/!!!

obi will not say no to the fancy wine you can only get illegally imported.

just. fyi.

[genrouzan]

sup fellow "xian le technically, neutral really"

[infinitesadness]

hello 'bitching about all these kids we can't protect' friend
