Guards. Again. The guards have been increasing their patrols at night. Mostly cause of us. The sewer rats of the town. The lowly and filthy. Well, we're not all that filthy. It helps when you can steal your month's rent from your owner and pay him earlier than scheduled with a bonus to 'help his cause'. That's what we're about. Doing whatever it takes to get by. Sometimes we do very well and have luxuries, but alas, we can't take everything without being noticed. So, we take what we can and make enough to live a nice life. Not the penthouse apartment, but between us we can pay the bill for it. We're just a step above common thieves. Just scoundrel who have nothing better we can do but steal to pay for things. Or just steal things directly. We only have one rule, though: no killing. EVER.
We've had our eye on this crown jewel that was brought into town the other day. It had an ocean blue aura to it, and it must have cost a fortune. That's why we want it. It could set each of us up individually for life from selling that thing at the black market. Only problem is, it's being put in the highest security place: the Wizard's Manor. We tried breaking in, but it's like the place has its own force field and anti-theft walls. We can't crack it.
Now, thieves exist all over, and in many different types, so there won't be just the D&D-Rogue-Thief. There are bards and conversationalists who chat up guards and others for information. Sometimes luring guards away to chat. There are the techie thiefs who can make an electrical thing buzz, stealing a guard's attention. There are the bow and arrow users who prefer who use water, rope, and blunt arrows to move guards from their posts. The last example would be a typical shadow: never seen, never heard, but is usually the sticky fingers who usually snags the actual item of most importance. Or robs the house. Whichever works.

I'm interested, although my activity will be limited (I'm going to swim camp for two and a half weeks and the dorm we stay at doesn't have internet.)

@RomanAria oh, my. Limited indeed. Sounds good though

I am certainly interested. :)

Edit: Although I do have a question about the world; is it steampunk or modern? You have both of those as tags, but you haven't really elaborated on witch, and, as far as I can tell, they are different things.

Mostly I am asking as a way to decide on, well, a character, but mostly his/her background. :)

(Also I have no idea if editing in one of these things works, but here goes nothing.)
@Dragonite777

@SilverWolfAngel fair point. By modern, I was meaning it's like 2000-2020, but steampunk technology. Also, haven't seen you since Miso city, lol :P

@Dragonite777 Ah, okay. I'll see what I can do for a character. :)
Long time no see, (even though according to my subscriptions page it's only been thirteen or so days.) I miss Maggie and Ren already. (Seth no so much)

Actually, I just realized that I either have been or are in an RP with each of you so far XD
Also, @BlackCat, Lila looks good to go. Loyal and deceptive seem like oposite personality traits, but I'm guessing she's loyal to anyone she's working for but deceptive to any targets. Anywho, you can put the CS in Characters tab whenever you get back on.

Character Sheet

Name: Rand Zero

Gender: Male

Age: 20

Appearance: Starting with his face, he has a strong jaw line, fair skin, blue eyes, long shaggy blonde hair that ends about the middle of his ears and is combed to the side in front so as to not block his vision.

His clothing/gear: He typically wears large blue jean jackets, blue jeans, a white T-shirt that goes underneath the jean jacket, black running shoes with white laces, different socks depending on what he feels like and of course undergarments.

Speciality: General Information or Secret Stealing, but he prefers Identity Theft.

Background: His family was an average one, his father an electrical repairman, his mother a stay at home mom who looked after his older brother and sister and himself because of his father's long hours. Rand was kind of thankful for all of the nice things he got as a child, really nice varnished toy wooden cars to play around with, whatever kind of clothes he wanted, the type of stuff the typical kid wouldn't have.

On the other hand, though the typical kid got to play around with his father, and he didn't. As soon as his father would come home from work, the man would put his stuff away and then proceed to teach/lecture Rand about his job and how to do it. So from an early age Rand got a great understanding of how electrical objects operated and how to fix them if they ever malfunctioned.

While he was growing up he also had to attend school. It was boring, really boring, but he persevered and got good grades until his later teens, which ironically you'd think he'd have tried harder then because it was his last few years of school, but that is not what happened.

It all happened one summer having finished school for said year, he heard of a job in security, and applied for it. Within two days he had an interview and the day after that got the job.

At first the job was great, it had a lot of responsibility and a lot of information at his fingertips as his job was actually in the back monitoring cameras, adjusting cameras to see what was going around inside the building, carrying recording devices and/or camera's hidden on his own person if the camera's in the back failed to record information of what was going on as well as lockpicks, he had to use a time or two when suspect tried to change the locks on him.

Eventually though he got sick of watching people. Why? Because it was in a school... Monitoring kids, and why? Because apparently there were rumors about these kids doing illegal things... But he had the job for a year and he scoured the place up and down for this illegal activity, and there was none. He was sure of it.

So one day he decided to strike back at this company that continually monitored people who were innocent. When all the bosses were on breaks he cut the power to the security businesses control room, locked the bosses in their break room, and as a last kick in their face he took all their 'confidential files' and burned them.

As he left the place he decided to find a worthwhile use for his talents, and that is how he came across the band of thieves and in a short space of time, joined them.

Personality traits: Talkative, Clever, Sneaky, Acts on his emotions.

Tools/equipment: Wire cutters, electrical parts for repairs, a variety of recording devices, lock picks, a flash light, electrical tape, extra electrical wires, a compass.

Other: He does not like rainy days.

@Gareth What do you mean by "General Information or Secret Stealing"?

I'd be interested in putting up a CS, if there's still room?

@xCRAZYxFACEx Well, with one of those who reserved a spot being gone for two and a half weeks without internet, I think the spot's open. (Sorry RomanAria, but I'd have to wait 2.5 weeks to fully start waiting on your character :/ if someone drops out, I'll save you a spot)

Oh yeah that's fine. So sorry for the inconvenience.

@RomanAria It's not your fault. I think it's just inefficient to have one character introduced very late. Like I said, though: if, after you get back, someone has, officially or not, dropped out, then the spot's yours. Assuming Code of Burned stays up, I should be able to know when you're back, lol. I hope there's no hard feelings about that.

@Dragonite777 none at all.

Hey @Dragonite777 just being curious, it is important though; what does the average person on the street look like? Also how do they dress?

I'm nearly done with My CS, should be up this evening, or in the morning, depending on a few small factors in real life. (and your answer, dare I say it) :)

@SilverWolfAngel common clothes would be typical fantasy leather-and-cloth clothing. The fancier clothes would have smoother texture, silks and such. The really fancy clothes have gadgets built in them (watches, lighters, glasses case, and other everyday use items)

@Gareth What do you mean by "General Information or Secret Stealing"?

I mean like he can watch or record people and therefor he knows all sorts of information about them, and if they are trying to keep secrets from him, he can probably go up to them in a disguise and convince them to reveal their secret to him and then use the secret knowledge for his own personal gain.

Also I edited my c.s. a bit changing certain words in it to make it better.

@Dragonite777 Cool thanks. :) She should be done soon.

@Gareth alright. that should work. The CS looks good, so you can go ahead and post it in the Characters tab
