@Eviledd1984 By all means, please do.

@BCTheEntity

I will be making my post right away.

[Guess Who]

Alright, first villain CS is up. Still not completely done with it (still need to add a personality and will probably tweak the backstory a bit) but I just wanted to show that I am making progress.

[Xandrya]

Alright, should we have an overnight time skip?

[Guess Who]

Alright, should we have an overnight time skip?

@Xandrya

I was going to suggest that and write a post of that happening a couple days ago but it seemed that people were still interacting and I didn't want to just skip when people were in the middle of a conversation. Is there anyone who disagrees with a time skip?

[Doc Doctor]

@Xandrya@Guess Who

Fine with me, skipping to the morning and after that to the time of the conflict.

[Orlan]

Identically named man and appearance, however he is quite different... and downright strange really.

My Hider

Name:
Formerly: Marcus Dillon
Currently: Hamish Lancaster

Age: 40

Gender: Male

Appearance:

Hamish stands at a respectable 6 foot at an average weight, amazingly enough he only has one scar, something you could definitely say is a bit of skin off his nose, as in he was wounded by Greggory's cult when conducting revenge.

Bio: Marcus was born in London, an average baby for about a month before his parents died in a fire, their only way to save the baby was to drop him and many blankets in the open window of a train which was heading to Scotland... He was soon discovered by a woman who had the unfortunate luck to have the poor Marcus drop on her, she quickly claimed the surprised Marcus as her child. As soon as the train stopped near a port in Scotland the woman and Marcus went to Stornway, which is where the newly named Hamish lived for around twenty years of his life.

Unfortunately he moved over to America once he was discovered by Greggory Dillon, a vile American uncle of Hamish's... Greggory was an antique dealer on the surface and a reasonably big Cult Leader in Ankora who looked very much like Donovan Booth; Ankora was the home for both Hamish and Greggory lived after the kidnapping. Hamish did escape Mr Dillon's kidnapping within a few months by stabbing the cruel cultist in his neck with an initiation knife, said initiation was castration because of both Greggory's distaste of Hamish and the wanton desire to initiate then indoctrinate the poor sod, the Cult thankfully couldn't complete the initiation before ending up like Greggory Dillon for such odd and vile practices by a mentally crippled man who incredibly managed to inherit everything his uncle had.

Ever since Hamish has been attacking criminals as a form of stress relief, selling antiques makes up his career when he isn't conducting his hobby. Hamish has been the conductor of two mass murders, the "Cult Cataclysm" where the shocked Hamish chased down and murdered every Cultist in an old church with a knife and a whole gang jumped on in a museum dubbed the "Blood Red Exhibition".

Personality: Hamish has managed to keep sane despite his incredible and unfortunate past. He is cocky and sarcastic as the Tempest while a still cocky but less sarcastic and friendlier man as Hamish.

Vigilante Name: The Tempest or The Knifeman of Ankora
Costume:



Hamish always wears these three items of clothing when he is throwing knives at criminals. Through his antique deals he managed to attain a stab vest from a police office under renovation which fits well under the Inverness coat. The said Inverness coat and Venetian Mask were bought in auctions and the balaclava was a criminal's mask that Hamish fancied.

Abilities/Skills: Hamish is a strong man, he managed to wrangle a knife from a rather fit man then stab the said man off a ledge with the knife and a push, all while the man was struggling and kicking, he can also withstand five bullets and still go on to kill, he did collapse around ten minutes after but he is still a tough git to fight, and that was when he was malnourished and wearing rags. Hamish is an incredible knifeman as well, he did manage to kill a whole building filled with cultists with a knife and a toaster, the toaster only killed one man when it pinged in the poor sod's arms just before he flailed on the stairs to his death so it doesn't really count. Interestingly enough the Tempest has a few friends in the Police force for the Blood Red Exhibition, the police and their information if the knifeman of Ankora brings in criminals to them.

Equipment:

The Tempest's Weaponry

One Bowie Knife:

The Cult Classic (The knife he used on his uncle's cult):

Five throwing knives:

One butterfly knife:

One cigarette case that hides both throwing knives and cigarettes:

Alignment: Chaotic neutral, the Tempest just wants excitement and a reward, he doesn't care weather he has to go through a policeman or another vigilante to get it, he does draw the line at civilians who he thinks have done no wrong and who don't support the Accord.

Reputation: The Knifeman of Ankora is a reasonably well known criminal killer and cult carver, however his involvement with the police isn't very widely known, to most he is a unique vigilante with a knife and ornate mask obsession.

Accord Compliance: The Tempest doesn't care for the Accord, or for anyone who supports it.

Sorry for not posting very frequently, guys. For the purposes of gameplay, I'm going to assume @Eviledd1984 and I are still in the starting night for now, rather than the night after that, though I don't imagine progressing to the next night fairly quickly won't be impossible, considering the, uh... relative lack of activity from most other players up to now. Ya might want to poke them some, @Guess Who.

@BCTheEntity

Alright, I'll make a role call then.

@Doc Doctor, @fluorescent, @FantasyChic, @Heat, @Amelian Draco, @Xandrya, and @Eviledd1984. You guys still here?

Also, @Orlan your CS looks good, though it looks like you stopped mid-sentence for the personality. Go ahead and move it over to the Character Tab.

[Doc Doctor]

@BCTheEntity

Xandrya and I will be waiting for when you're ready for the main event. Talk about build up.

@Guess Who

Uhhh... Right.

@Guess Who

Uhhh... Right.

@Doc Doctor

I just included everyone since it was easier than checking the OOC for who has posted recently and who hasn't.

[BCTheEntity]

@Doc Doctor Well, it gives us time to plan if nothing else. I can only assume you don't want the Red Claw to actually kill Donny. So, uh, this is going to be an awkward second meeting.

[Eviledd1984]

@Guess Who

Sorry im here and i will be posting something soon.

[Xandrya]

Still here

[BCTheEntity]

@Eviledd1984 I've seen your post, and not to nitpick, but how does Il Corvo know the direction Graffiti went if he only encountered the Red Claw after Graffiti left the area?

[Eviledd1984]

@BCTheEntity

Shit good point perhaps he should ask where she is instead of insulting Red Claw.

[Guess Who]

Alright, since no one has disagreed with a time jump, I'll have a post up sometime around noon tomorrow PST doing just that. Anybody who hasn't finished any interaction they're in with other characters can continue to be behind in the timeline or skip with the rest of us and give a quick summation of what happened. If anybody is against this, speak now or forever hold your peace.

[Eviledd1984]

@Guess Who

Im good to skip lets get going :)

[Orlan]

Internet conked out unfortunately, I'll finish that off then move him over.

[FantasyChic]

I'm here. Been anxiously awaiting an update. Players can only do so much so once, as the GM, you progress things I will post again.
