Name: Golden City Prequels
Sort of thread: 1x1 (x3)
Size: (Aisling Grey x Corbett Baines), (Minerva Eliza Gifford x ???), (Katherine Llew x ???)
Location: Land, Any, Underground
Plot: When the main story begins, a wild array of interesting characters that make up the Golden City will spring to life - but I'd like to establish at least one pre-existing relationship for each of my characters as well as get a feel for their recent past. Where were we at Main Plot -2 years?
Aisling: It is six months since the death of Aisling's family, six months since her exile from the Sky. Six months since the pampered youngest scion of the family suddenly found herself scrabbling to survive on nothing but her intellect, technical skills and towering sense of injustice. She has somehow made it this far, but with business above and below the Stairway and quarters in Pariah Bay she hardly needs to go looking for trouble. It's bound to find her - unless Corbett finds her first.
Minerva: All her life, Minerva wanted to find her way out of her family's rut; birth to death in the endless grind of the mines, smelteries and dense habitations. She wanted to make a name for herself, but not as a criminal or a tinker. She wanted to write, to use her gift with tongues to paint pictures with words to capture the events of the day for all to delight in them. She just had to find someone to give her a chance. Maybe the story of Minerva's first big scoop? No clear image of what it would be about or how YC would be involved, let's share ideas and see where we land.
Katherine: Kitty Llew's life is far from what she ever expected it might be, but despite tragedy after tragedy she is beginning to make a go of it. Once The Walls was barely six packing crates and a barrel of Arcadian Whiskey; now it is a regular drinking hole for dozens of locals and Kitty is wondering if she may even be able to hire on an employee soon. With her resources stretched to the limit and working eighteen hour days at the same time as she minds her daughter, when the next crisis comes along Kitty finds that try as she might, she cannot handle this on her own. What happened? How does YC help - and why exactly? There are no saints in the Underground, or not for long.
OOC/Interest Check: Yes please, for discussion and planning.
Additional Notes: Not really - except that since this is set two years before the current plot line, the main intent is to set up back history and existing relationships for the story to come. When the main plot begins, we can finish things up and extrapolate the rest - unless we're both keen to continue.
