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.
United or The Order for short, The United Order is a still-growing faction of supernaturals and psychics of all types, doubling as a support group as well as a rebel group to defend against enemies of all supernatural people, e.g. Torchlight, government coverups, etc. Largely, however, it's meant to provide a supportive community for all supernaturals, as well as a network to stay in touch. Those who have phones and computers share that information, but their leader isn't present online much.
It doesn't matter what flavor of strange you are; everyone is welcome. Their leader is a homeless changeling named Allen -- just Allen. His home base is Destiny Village, and it's there that he conducts many of his business meetups. He holds group meetings -- therapy, gossip, whatever you want to bring with you -- at the water park and Renzo's club, Crossroads. One-on-one meetings are typically done at a cafe or Destiny Village in Allen's tent. Or cardboard box. It varies.
He's currently looking to enlist warrior types. The rebel side of the Order is looking to expand.
Connections -- If any homeless supernaturals need supplies -- food, clothes, shelter -- Allen advises them to drop by the Sanctuary. If, for whatever reason, they don't want to deal with them, Allen will borrow supplies himself and hand them off.
Allen himself uses his own homeless network in order to gain fresh information off the streets. He peddles this information to the Sanctuary (through Helen), the Changeling Network (through Axel), Pearl's biker gang, Greg the Rose Queen's pet warlock, and the demon that hardly anyone knows as Psi. All in return for information and mutual favors. Sherlock comes to Allen for information every now and then when he's working a case, and Allen requests news on missing persons and murder cases for supernaturals in return.
Allen has his hands in a lot of pies.
So come join the Order. Because he's probably already harassed someone you know about it.
