The interest check you say? Gee, guess it would have been nice if someone linked me to that first. *Glares at KoL*.

The Interest Check is the exact same as the OP above. There's no need to show you.

@Awesomoman64

Oh you know KoL. Why show interest when you can go the whole hog?

More like that we wanted to see if the RP could flow normally without having to recruit people on the ones that already exist, but it seems like that no.

By the way, I'll give my opinion on your character later today. He's pretty much good, but there are some considerations that I'd like to do.

Didn't realize how many references I placed there when I write him

Name: Arthur Reyes
Age: 34.
Appearance:

Physically speaking, Arthur is not impressive, with a height of 165 centimeters, shorter than his country's standard. Like his peers, who favours dandyism as a fashion trend, Arthur's appearance is considered extravagant, yet unnecessary. He is usually seen wearing a jacket, with seven red horizontal stripes that extend to the edge of the front of the jacket, each crossing through a button. His pants is also slightly decorated with red embellishment, to match with the color of his jacket. His hair was jet black and neat. Arthur also has heterochromia iridum, where his left eye was as dark as night, while the other as blue as sky.

Backstory:

Born a descendant of a once very powerful medieval nobleman, Arthur is expected by many to be inheriting the family's tradition of becoming a governor of a Northern town that he was born and raised in. Yet, Arthur, from the age of 14, already had a different, a bigger vision of his future. Carrying the noble blood in him, Arthur, aside from studying academic subjects, was taught manners, politics and leadership, but Arthur was more interested in industrial economy. He was considered a complete outcast both at home and at school, for he was obsessed with the pursue of knowledge about entrepreneurship , something in which he and his parents often argued against, sometimes leading to serious conflicts. He was considered an exceptional student during his teenage years and was prematurely offered the chance to enroll in some of the most pretigious universities.

Despite having disagreements and relationship-shattering conflicts, Arthur was finally able to convince his father about his future. On one occasion when his father was dealing with a significant economy problem concerning a sudden cancellation of a mining contract, resulting in losses of money. Arthur, who was coincidentally at his father's office and understood the circumstances, asked his father to deal with the situation, which he eventually managed. In the letter his father sent him afterwards, in which Arthur kept with him until today, his father had actually wept with joy as he told his son to find his own "empire" that was big enough for his vision, for this land was too small for him. It was at that moment when his parents decided not to interfere with his son's decisions any longer

When he finally graduated from high school however, Arthur decided not to enter the many universities that sent him offers and scholarships to enroll in, and instead chose to be tutored at home by Aria, a young professor at Harsen University, who is also a friend of his father, known for her brilliance in the economy's philosophy. Arthur enjoyed Aria's tutelages, and, during the process, developed a passion for her work about the relationship between economy and industry. Aria gave him a shortened copy of her book, something which Arthur had always carried with him.

Arthur's education with Aria ended after five years, and he soon established his own company called Artem when he was 25, using the foundation of an old disbanded company. Initially a local mining company, but with Arthur's brilliance in leadership and economy, the realm of his corporation soon expanded to a quarter of his country. The varieties of industries also expanded, with ship-buildings, logistics, automobiles and the most recently, aviations joined the branch of Artem's products.

In just nearly 35 years, Arthur had earned good money and had achieved things that most people couldn't in a lifetime, but that did not satisfy his ambitions. He was still aiming for more and more...

Inventory:

Pocket watch: Contains a picture, taken with his tutor, Professor Aria, who he had come to greatly respect for her inspiration.

Philosophy book: The copy that Aria gave him a few years ago, which he still kept with him inside his jacket.

His father's letter: More like only one line in that letter. The one that has driven him to become who he is today.

Intro/Sample Post:

"You must find an empire big enough for your own vision."

That line. That sentence.

It had already been over a decade since it was first written, and yet Arthur could feel it as brand new as the tip of the pen was just being lifted from the letter. It was the first time his father had actually cried in joy for him, for a man who disregarded his family's traditions to pursue his own ambitions. It was the thing that had driven him to become such a successful young man as he was today, to become someone who had accomplished things that people could not in their lifetime.

He was grateful. Truly grateful. But somehow, he did not feel satisfied yet.

He wanted more.

Arthur folded the letter in four as he put it away in his jacket pocket, as he noticed something strange. He had not seen the area before. Arthur looked out of the window of his car, out to the cold and rainy sky. Through his vague and groggy vision, he barely managed to grasp the name on the metal fence in front of the car.

Revianne Solaire

What is this? How come a mansion exists here? The road can't have ended this early.

There was only one explanation for this: He was lost.

"Geez, I'm gonna be late for the contract signing. Well, it wouldn't hurt to ask these people the direction."

Arthur put on his jacket and exited the car, into the rain. For some reasons, the air around the mansion felt...frighteningly cold. He wondered if it was his imagination or by the rain, but he could feel his interior temperature drop as he knocked on the door, twice. A few moments later, a young, petite woman, with a notable scar on her face, was seen walking out of the door, greeting Arthur.

"Good evening ma'am. I am on my way to the Rasford household. Do you mind if you can show me th-"

It was at that moment that it struck him. Something. Something he could not figure out.

His ears began to ring like hell, like a drill was being operated on it. His head pounded as if a hammer was being brought down on him.

Arthur instinctively clinched his head with his two hands, but it was too late. When he realized it, he was on the muddy ground, and everything he saw was darkness.

Others: N/A

Actually, the interest's title pretty much shows the era of the RP, something in which the actual RP post did not mention.

Anyway, don't mind me. I'm just a math majoring student who was just looking a bit too carefully and too detailed. ;-;

Oh, I decided to not have all of that long title here on the actual. Perhaps I should've added the genre tags to the OP, but that escaped me.

Either way, I'll add my comments about your character later, along with Cypher's. For the time being he seems quite alright.

Well, I added the genre tags back at the first top of the first post. Since it maybe helpful. I still left the title clean, so that it can tickle people's imagination when they see it, though.

Don't say this near KoL.

Ok, time for some reviews.

@Lucius Cypher

Like I said before, your character is pretty much alright. However, I get the feel that he's too medieval inspired, which will make him someone way behind of his times. But, there's something that I must say, he's way too much talented and in ways that are basically way too unrealistic for this kind of narrative.

As far as I can see, he's capable of copying and recalling any sound or text he ever saw with pinpoint precision, which is way too much too give for a single person. So, I have two suggestions regarding this: Either you focus him on a single task (still giving him the unrealistic high skill), or you dial him back to a human level on those things that he can do (even then I still ask you to drop one or two of those skills and make him less spread apart in talents).

Other than this, he's good to me.

@Conscripts

Your character is good by my. There's nothing too out of context with him at all, except maybe your choice of terms when describing him/writing your intro. To clarify it, the term "steampunk" splattered on the text draws a bit of the seriousness of the post, pushing it too much to the fantasy side. Instead of using steampunk jacket why not just keep it to jacket alone?

This is just a bit to keep the overall tone of the story even. He's really ok.

@Faux Fox

Your character is good as well, but (because of the modern looks of the image you are using) I really have to ask that you at least give us a bit of an idea of how your character is dressed, etc. And probably revise that inventory as well to make it appropriate for their time period.

Otherwise, she's pretty good enough.

Well, that's all I had to say on those characters we have up to now. Please wait for @TheWindel's opinion before posting them on the Character's tab.

Yeah when I wrote Solaire I was still iffy on what exactly the time frame I was working with was. I wasn't certain if we were in actual Victorian times or somewhere more 18th century with certain anachronism. Still evil aristocracy, banditry, and the presence of religious institutes as a place of education and authority are timeless.

As for his skills I've dialed back his more extreme abilities, merely making him a more competent reader/writer (finishes essays and books within hours instead of minutes) as well as merely a skilled member of the choir, allowing himself to hit high notes normally done by women. His martial aspect has also been decreased to merely being competent at beating people with sticks, removing his hand-to-hand ability. His athleticism hadn't changed.

Well, he's ok by me now. Just wait for Windel.

I guess that, once @Awesomoman64 is done with his character, we are pretty much good to go. Four PCs ain't that bad a number, also makes the horror more personal, even if I originally hoped for more attention to this concept.

@Lucius Cypher

Pretty much what KoL said. Given you've edited him, he's fine by me. Place him in the Character Tab.

@Faux Fox, @Conscripts

Aside from what KoL has pointed out, you're both fine by me. Place them in the Character Tab after making the recommended edits.

@KoL,@TheWindel
Alright, the term is removed. I initially don't know that that kind jacket was called, so I Googled it and it says steampunk, so I just thought so. Thanks anyway.

Ohh, this looks interesting since it's an industrial age and horror setting, though I do have questions. Number one is obviously if there are slots still open. Two is I see both casual and advanced tags, so what are the posting requirements?

Oh, hi there.

We have plenty of space so feel at home, please. As for requirements, I know what you can do so it should be no problem. Sincerely, one or two paragraphs, decently written shall be good enough.

We are looking more for quality than quantity, to say the truth.

@Awesomoman64

Your character is good by me, by the way. Just wait for @TheWindel.

@KoL

Sounds good. I love dark themes. I'll come up with something, already running a couple of ideas in my head. Probably either an assassin or a trooper.

@Awesomoman64

He looks fine to me. Place him into the Character Tab.

We should be starting soon everyone.
