[OOC] A City on Fire

[KiwiBaer]

@FallingSkies
If it does, we'll be eagerly awaiting your return and hoping that everything turns out alright!

[Solaris]

@KiwiBaer is it still possible to join?

[KiwiBaer]

@Solaris
Yes it is, you may chose any group but Avia!

[Solaris]

@KiwiBaer out of curiosity do I have to be an official member of a group, or can I be affiliated with one or two groups, but essentially act alone?

[KiwiBaer]

@Solaris
Well, see, I originally made this world with the help of one of my friends as an au for our characters and in that we had a character that was what we called "A Jack of All Groups". He was basically just a dude that kinda got requested for certain jobs by different groups, most of the time behaving like a child of a divorce with his time split up between the two houses. So in my opinion, yes! That's totally possible.
However, I'm not the only leader of these groups anymore, so you'd have to check in with everyone else and see how they feel about it, they may be more closed off than Avia is.

EDIT: I just realized this was an unnecessarily complicated response for what could've just been "Yes, as long as the leaders are okay with it", I'm sorry!

@Urukhai@bluetommy2@Keksalot@Kronshi
What are your guys' opinions?

[Bluetommy]

I think Liam would be fine with it, as long as it furthered his agenda.

[urukhai]

If they did as they were told, and did not compromise Belladonna. Arthur would have few problems

[Kronshi]

It truly depends on how much money the guy could bring in. As long as he's worth the pay, Cello should be chill with it.

[Keksalot]

Impossible. If the dude tried to find employment in Familia, we'd cut off his head, piss down his neck and send him away from our district after some strict beratement. Money hold no loyalty and mercenaries are abhorrent in the eyes of the Empress.

Name

Annabelle McConnor

Group

Belladonna

Position

Assassin

Codename

Solanaceae

Age

28

Appearance

At first glances, most would realize the same: Annabelle is beautiful in the common sense of the word. She's attractive and certainly knows how to play her cards right. Especially her deep red hair and glasses that give her a bit of a young librarian look. She got a slender figure that's clearly kept in shape through workouts. While not particularly strong, she's fast and flexible. The result of several years of gymnastics when she was young. Her clothing style could best be described as simple. Mostly just t-shirts or tops covered by sweaters. With her legs in a comfortable pair of fitting (but not tight) jeans. She has a light brown leather jacket she wears on colder days too.

Personality

Annabelle is actually quite a caring person at day. She smiles, talks and generally looks very happy. This isn't really a facade. Even alone she seems to radiate happiness. Mostly through her artwork. Her happiness and friendliness aren't just on the surface. She'll help her friends in times of need and will go through fire for those she loves. But when it comes down to assassination targets she's rather cold and distant. She prefers to get as little personal information as possible. Annabelle also tries to be as far away from the dying as possible: generally poisoning their food in some complex way and get out or administering a slow working poison. This is generally not to let her mind turn her target into an actual human. Terrible but so far it kept her sane. Despite this she does have a personal code of conduct: she will not kill children nor in the presence of children. Neither will she kill pregnant women or people below a certain line of poverty.

Background

Annabelle' life started out rather boring. She was the youngest child out of 3, with 2 brothers. Both went into the military (one joined the marines, the other joined the army. They have their discussions over which one is best during thanksgiving dinner). Both also made it through their tours so far. A real blessing for Annabelle. Her father was a doctor while he mother was a florist. It was her mother that sprouted her interest in plants from a very young age. From since she could walk, Annabelle helped out in the garden.

Being the youngest of a family of 2 brothers wasn’t an easy task. She often had to stand up for herself against them. Which often lead, inevitably, to her being locked up or locked out somewhere. While most people would just resign to their fate or acted a little less brattish, Annabelle did neither. Instead, she started going through the barriers of her brothers. She learned how to pick a lock or climb the walls. During this time she was a pretty cheery girl in school. Someone who always helped everyone, except for the bullies.

Many uneventful years later and Annabelle took over a pharmacy in the garden district of the city. The business was incredibly successful. Successful enough so she could take a morning off every now and then to help tend the botanical gardens. Her name swiftly traveled through the right communities. One day, while she was closing her shop in the evening, a man stumbled inside. While gluttonous, nothing else really warranted him having bloody eyes, bleeding nose, and a corpse-pale face. He didn’t say anything but just stumbled inside, having difficulty breathing.

Annabelle, obviously, swiftly came to help. By chance, she noticed a very infected looking wound on the back of the man’s hand. From it, the very distinguishable poison could be smelled. Luckily for the man, Annabelle had an antidote in her shop. His life was saved and he gave her many thanks. Two days later he collapsed face first into his soup and stopped breathing. But Belladonna wasn’t ready yet with Annabelle. The woman that defied their will. But instead of killing her too, they recruited her. Wooing her into their little group by showing her the truth about the man she saved: he was the banker who would have forced her pharmacy to close.

Leisure activities

Annabelle mostly tends the botanical during her free time. Like many members of the community. At home, she sometimes brews small remedies from the plants she is allowed to harvest from the gardens. Aside from that, she makes bouquets.

Extras

She's not that strong in hand to hand combat. Nor is she particularly skilled with a gun (but she does own one). With knives, she's a bit better but far from a professional. But when it comes to poisons or chemicals, few are her match.

[KiwiBaer]

@Legion02
Cool, she's accepted

[Solaris]

@KiwiBaer I'll probably have the sheet done by tommorow night, I have quite a bit of stuff on my plate at the moment.

Okay, phew, that's a lot of us! Time for a long awaited (maybe) update that'll hopefully reach everyone!

First of all, I finished off all my character sheets and updated the first post on the character page to include everyone who has submitted their characters officially. So anyone who's still in the ooc that's been approved (which is everyone in the ooc) should move their people on over so they can get included in the major list. So anyone who has not made a character sheet, I really hope you'll manage to do that soon. I won't rush genius or anything, but I'm hoping to be able to start soon and am waiting for everyone's character. If any of you still pending out there have lost desire in this rp, that's perfectly fine, but please let me know so I won't keep waiting infinitely?

Speaking of the start of this rp, I wanted to address that. What I'm thinking is, I'll start it by setting up a crisis in each of the different sectors that specifically pertain to your group, then its free reigns to the leaders on how they are going to deal with that crisis and of course on to all of the people within the group on how they react and follow orders. However, after that first starter boost, I'm imagining everyone will want to become pretty self-sustained and figure out their own issues. If this is not the case or ideas start to run dry, I have no qualms with jump-starting things all over again.

Does that sound good to everyone?

Oh, also, quick side note, I'll be gone for this entire upcoming weekend and won't have access to a computer so don't burn the place down while I'm gone, I'll be back when I can be.

[Sohtem]

@KiwiBaer Sounds good to me, glad we're soon going to be starting this, been eagerly awaiting for things to start. :D May add another character as well, just need to finish up the second cs I've been working on.

[Rune_Alchemist]

@FallingSkies

Welcome back

[Solaris]

@KiwiBaer I'll try to get my CS up sometime tommorow

[Kronshi]

@KiwiBaer I really don't want to drop this but I've been very occupied recently with life in general and all my free time is taken up by another roleplay I'm in. I think I'm simply too busy right now.
