So I'm about half way done with the IC, and I'm jsut gonna add in two more NPCs as I feel like there should be at least one mortal at W&R who actually does the boring normal PI stuff. The other is the shall we say handyman. Basically scruffy.

Basically scruffy.

@jasonwolf

I've never seen him this down. Or ever before.

@jasonwolf

The Handy-Man guy should be like this incredibly large, and protective, yet polite butler. Think Lurch from the Addams family, just with more smiles. Or maybe he could be like this shady guy with a mysterious past that's slowly revealed piece by piece. Just spit-ballin' here.

[Polyphemus]

Handyman should be an ambiguously supernatural being or at least strong enough to lift the rear end of a car.

[AdobeFlash]

Literally make the handyman a carbon copy of Scruffy's character

Because Scruffy was the best character

But you should give him some supernatural powers or whatever. A normal human would also be cool. He would have to do things like taxes and electricity bills and all that

[Witch Cat]

Make him Scruffy, but with superhuman strength! Was he a body builder, or is it just magic? Who knows. The idea of Scruffy throwing fireballs is kinda weird.
Little disclaimer, I have no idea what Scruffy is like, 'cause I have never watched Futurama. But I mean, he seems slightly biased. The kind of guy that would mumble something not so nice about a group of people. Maybe out version of Scruffy could have this general distaste and distrust for anything or anyone magical.

Well I got ZERO work done so far on the post today. Instead I've been hammering concrete and reorganizing a shed full of crap.

@jasonwolf

Well I mean, reorganizing a shed is still work, and we appreciate every drop of sweat! Well, not every drop, that's kinda weird. But still, at least the post is close to being done, right?
(P.S. I don't want to come off as pushy or rude, you take as long as you need~)

I know the feeling I'm in the same boat but with Memorial Day party preparations. Best wishes

bump

[jasonwolf]

@AdobeFlashseriously we do not need bumps.

i really wish there was a way to delete posts bc im tired and on several forum posts. This was meant to go on a different tab but whoops. There is no way to delete posts. R.I.P

So two became three. I've also added Maria Yung W&R's quartermaster and enchantress. While not a field agent like the others Maria is an integral part of W&R serving as the resident crafting expert. While many of the crafting studies are used as sub fields to offensive methods Maria is purely a crafter and has learned how to make all sorts of magical devices and arcane weapons. She will do custom and specialized work, but it is not at all free. You will have to pay for the materials and time. Basic repairs and such are free of charge.

@jasonwolf

Amazing job with the new character :D!
Will we be expecting more before the first IC post? I do remember you saying you wanted a "normal" NPC too.

[jasonwolf]

@Witch Cat Yes I'm fiddling with that. I also have the handyman down, but I won't be giving him any more details to him here. He's meant to be a bit of an odd fellow with little info about him. No major plot points, but he's certainly not an open book.

I was also fiddling with official layouts of the building. I'm no master artist, but Minecraft is fantastic for very basic designing of buildings. I have a basic one thrown together that I think is good for a basic map. I actually once submitted a minecraft build as part of a business project where I had to design the floor plan for a small business.

@jasonwolf

This is all coming together quite nicely. Another slightly less accessible program I could recommend is SketchUp, which is more for architects, but could still help. Also, thank God for Maria because I was running into dead ends on how Atlas could get supplies

@jasonwolf

Can't wait to see him come into play soon, and good luck on the building thing! Things are coming along swimmingly, can't wait for it to start. Do you have any other plans you're working on for this RP?

While I'm obviously no master I think this gives a solid basic idea of what the exterior might look like.

@jasonwolf

Looking good so far! But I think it might be easier to find art that looks likethe building your envisioning, and then use Minecraft to build the inside of the building
