*Stumbles in smelling of hydraulic fluid and grease*
Oh wow, honestly did not expect this many responses so quick! @PrinceAlexus has been holding down the fort nicely though. I've been working on getting the next thread ready all afternoon. Gonna take a break for a little bit. I've had a lot of coffee today and I can feel my pulse while sitting still.
Glad to see the interest so far! We're happy to have you!

Let us know if you have any questions,

Aye, Thankyou everyone. Things are looking to a good start to say the least.
@PilatusBoi I'm happy this revived my interest in the website. I had such a long hiatus on instead writing a novel that I forgot to come back here. You are my saviour!

βΊ Metal
Metal to Leo is metal. He doesn't bother with the fifty five thousand sub genres of metal. There are obviously bands and sub genres he dislikes, but he doesn't view the people who like them as any less of a metal fan.
βΊ Socialising
Whether it is sitting around chatting or taking in a movie, Sully likes to spend time with those he cares about.
βΊ Hiking
The fresh air, the exercise, the freedom. It all appeals to Sully.
βΊ Camping
Nothing like taking in the night sky with nothing but a roaring fire and good friends.
βΊ Food
His frame hides his hearty appetite and love of food.
βΊ Beer
Regularly found at a bar on the weekends, Leo enjoys a drink.
βΊ Gaming
Growing up with a console from almost every generation, Leo loves gaming. In the last few years he has taken more interest in table top games. This has expanded to a Tuesday night board game club in his bar.
βΊ Gigs
The only thing better than metal is live metal!
βΊ Horror Films
He has a wide taste when it comes to movies but if he could only have one genre it would definitely be horror.
βΊ Sport
Being British Leo has a love for football and rugby. Since moving to the US he has found himself becoming more interested in American Football.
βΊ D I S L I K E S
βΊ Bullies
He does not tolerate bullies and isn't afraid to stand up to them.
βΊ Drug Users
Unfortunately Leo has seen his fair share of overdoses growing up and has no interest in seeing any more.
βΊ Smoking
He has never understood why people do it.
βΊ Politics
Every politician is corrupt and has a price.
βΊ Pop Music
Pretty people with averages voices who don't write their own music. He has much more respect for other genres of music.

βΊ Owns a Metal Themed Bar.
Who wouldn't want to own a bar?
βΊ A S S E T S βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
One of the larger houses of Western Shore, it is fully detached with a large garden, hot tub and a garage below ground level that doubles as a basement.
The number 1 metal bar in the City. It earns him enough money that he doesn't actually have to work.
βΊ F A M I L Y βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
βΊ Parents | Nigel and Mary
Back in the UK, they keep regular contact with Leo.
βΊ Brother | Alex
Leo's younger brother who visits him at least once a year. Still lives in the UK.
βΊ Rufus
Leo's German Shepherd is on the larger size for it's breed, which can make him intimidating for those who don't know him. He is one of the friendliest dogs you could hope to meet.
βΊ P E R S O N A L I T Y βββββββββββββββββββββββ
βΊ Leo is very much a people person, willing to talk to whoever is willing to listen. He likes to laugh and joke but has no qualms about being someones shoulder to cry on. Compassion is strong within Leo and his loyalty to his friends is second to none. He is strong willed, verging on stubborn at times, but will always do whatever he can to help his friends. He regularly stands up to bullies sometimes to his own detriment.
Adventure is a big part of his philosophy and is part of the reason why he spends alot of time hiking and camping. He loves the peace and solace that nature brings, using it to break up what is often a very loud life as the owner of a bar.
βΊ H I S T O R Y ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
βΊ A standard upbringing for Leo left him with plenty of fond memories and built him into the person he is today. He loves life and has always tended to lean towards adventure rather than the comfort of home. That is how, when at the age of eighteen, he made his way across the Atlantic and make Sol City his home. Having a fairly strong Welsh accent rather than the generic English that the movies portray meant that many times early on he was mistaken for being German, South African and Swedish to name a few. He always laughed it off and would offer to explain where he was from should anyone ask.
His first bout of employment saw him working several bartending jobs throughout the week, enough to keep the food on the table and a roof above his head. He spent little beyond bills and rent, saving as much as he could. As the years rolled by the numbers in his bank account began to grow until he finally had the money to enact his plan. Moving to Sol City was no accident, Sully found that the biggest bands in metal would always stop there on tour. The support for metal was pretty big in the city and that is what drew him there. With enough money saved he bought a property and set about opening a heavy metal bar.
Doubling as a bar and nightclub, The Aether was a big hit with the metal scene and draws big crowds on the weekend. The aesthetic and design was created by his brother and is part of the reason why the place is a big hit. Competitive pricing and friendly staff also help, but there is something about the place that keeps people coming back for more.
Most recently he has been able to take a step back from running the bar day to day after hiring a bar manager. Instead he simply lives of a percentage of the profits which allows him to have a comfortable existence. Often he'll find himself in the bar himself for the company and will help out where necessary. Even with the success he has had, he still feels as if he is missing something or someone important in his life. He tried the dating scene for a while but with no success, finding many of the women interested more in his money than in him as a person.
βΊ F A V O U R I T E S O N G ββββββββββββββββββββ
βΊ His favourite song changes regularly, but there is often a core set of five songs that he will always go back to.

βΊ Located just a few streets away from Light Lane, Club Aether is part of The Run. It is primarily a bar for anyone looking to escape the monotonies of pop music and find something significantly heavier. With a jukebox loaded to the brim and various types of entertainment available, it is a metal heads dream. It is owned by Leo Sullivan who leaves the day to day running to his bar manager. With Sol City having a one of the more active metal scenes in the US, it is a highly popular destination.
βΊ Live Music
Regularly features live music ranging from open mic nights to karaoke and up and coming metal bands to established acts.
βΊ Jukebox
The jukebox is of an old style in its design but is in fact linked up to the massively popular Spitofy. If you can find a song on Spitofy, you will find it on the jukebox.
βΊ Multiple Bars
Being a fairly large venue, Club Aether has multiple bars. There is one main bar with several smaller ones located nearer to the dancefloor.
βΊ Games
The bar features general pub games including snooker, pool and darts. It also has a Neo Geo arcade machine that has access to the entire back catalogue of games created for the Neo Geo system. In addition it is possible to play old school classics from the early 80's.

βΊ The Run is located several streets from Light Lane and is effectively the epicentre of Sol City's night life. With every other building being a night club or bar, The Run is a street where people go to party the night away. While the weekdays tend to be quieter, as soon as Friday comes around The Run comes to life.
The single street is home to eight night clubs, four bars, one strip club with various small eateries scattered in between. Given the high density of people and the amount of alcohol consumed, it is a safe area even at peak times. Instances of alcohol related crimes are minimal. Several churches and other religious establishments provide support and assistance to people who are heavily inebriated before they can become a menace to themselves or others.
Security is fairly heavy but is another reason why The Run isn't the free for all it was in the late nineties. In addition the security detail introduced a special biometric ID card. Without one you are unable to gain access to any of the facilities that sell alcohol. They are free to whoever wants one but at sign up proof of being legal drinking age must be provided as well as a finger print. When entering an establishment on The Run you must swipe your card and provide a finger print.
<Snipped quote by PrinceAlexus> Oh hell yes! Best idea I've read all day!
Lol. Metalspoons?
We take player created locations, so if you do do a bar, we could add you to the cities wide array of locations. City scale does kinda mean we can give no guarantees about use though.
For some reasons, I feel very interested in this one. I have a character concept that I have been writing on, and may want to copy it over here to get a feel of it
