Now that you've had a week to plan, this is the official role call post for the AU. Please reply to whatever header your character is included in with a summary of their role in Portland, with your character's name in the post subject. You can just copy and paste summaries used in the plotting post if you like, though for the same of mod plotting I would ask that you name and bold any of the following in your descriptions:
Organizations: If your character is in a group or organization of any kind, please bold it! This will be important for the dispensing of IC clues and NPC attention.
NPC Connections: If your character has a powerful NPC of any kind that they are connection to, please list and bold them. The mods will be writing some of these NPCs into the metaplot, and we can't do that if we don't know they exist!
Meetup Points: If your character runs or is affiliated with anything that could be considered a supernatural hangout, it would be useful to make them easy to find, for the sakes of people who want to know what kind of places will be available in Portland for their characters to hang out.
Confirming your concepts in this post is not mandatory, but I would super appreciate anyone who does. If you do not reply to this post, your character will not be tied into the metaplot. Additionally, I will give everyone who does reply a +2 AC point bonus to their next activity check, per character they reply with.
The Collapse is the butt of every underworld joke, whispered nervously and then dropped immediately after the nervous laugh. Years ago, a group of plain ol' humans had too much money and, surprise surprise, wanted more than what they'd been handed. After the Severing, the former snotty bridge-club turned its focus to the occult and demon worship. Eventually just talking and reading about the subject and trying in vain to get demons to come to brunch, the group decided that the best thing to do would be to summon one, forcibly, via ritual.
It's common knowledge that the ritual actually succeeded, and now the group is more or less enslaved and in debt to the demon they summoned. It's a classic case of just desserts, and would probably be way funnier if the group wasn't so financially and supernaturally powerful. The humans pull the money around, the demons pull the humans around, and if there's something white-collar and shady going down it's likely that The Collapse is involved somewhere.
There is tension between the human and demon sides of The Collapse, but the humans aren't stupid-- they know who owns them. They get sore if their obvious whipped status is pushed in their faces.

Mister Knotley is the original demon summoned by The Collapse. All in all, he's not a totally bad guy to be under the thumb of-- unless you're his warlock in which case you're extra special and doing all of his errands both legal and illegal, normal and supernatural. He has a special team of warlocks who he tasks with luring people into the collapse or convincing them to sign deals with his fellow demons. He swears there's no quota, but everybody knows there's a quota.
He's the eerily calm type-- he's been around the block more than a few times and isn't terribly interested in getting into drama with anybody. Unless they're trying to take his warlocks in which case he will throw down and throw down hard. But still calm and classy. He likes gin and tonics, matching his pocket squares to his ties, and pointedly taking a roll call at every mandatory meeting of The Collapse and noting loudly who is absent. He doesn't like that stupid trend of having mismatched dishware, people interrupting him, and (surprise surprise) angels.
