[OOC] Ashes over the Rivianne Solaire [On Hiatus]

[Bushman501]

I'll should be getting my CS up tomorrow or, failing that, by the end of the week.

@Bushman501

No worries. We just got the IC set by now to facilitate things, you don't need to feel rushed at all.

[TheWendil]

Hmm.

[KoL]

Such a lack of activity (or at least some notification) is indeed worrisome. I really hope we don't have to consider placing this RP on hiatus before even beginning.

[Lucius Cypher]

I have a post in the works, just gotta get home to put on the finishing touches.

[TheWendil]

Even so, I'm not sure how willing the GMs are to be doing an RP with barely 3 people. We'll wait and see how this progresses but it's not looking well.

[Awesomoman64]

Will also post here tomorrow. I was waiting for @Bushman501 to get their character first but if we need to progress that's fine.

[Bushman501]

Character is in progress. All I got left to do is the bio and the intro, but been taking my time on it.

@Bushman501@Awesomoman64@Lucius Cypher

If the three of you stick around, we can still do this, or at least see how far we can go. Small numbers are better for this genre, after all. It's just that @TheWindel and I have a bad story when RP's fall down this hole. Hopefully, this can work.

The thing is that, sadly, this RP came out in a rather bad timing, it seems. Considering that we were deceived into pushing it by newbies that can't stick to their word, this situation is rather understandable.

I really want to keep this up if it's possible, so let's see what we can do.

[Conscripts]

I'd love to be in here, but considering that not all has submitted their own character, I don't want to begin just yet.

[KoL]

Talking about this, @Lucius Cypher, your character should be on the CS tab already.

[Lucius Cypher]

I dunno what you're talking about, my character has always been in the character tab.

[Bushman501]

Looks at CS, then looks at edit button. Alright, I got a CS. I'm just gonna get it up here before I decide that editing it for a lifetime is the best idea. Let me know if something is in need of change/improvement.

Seiler

Name: Alina Seiler
Age: 26
Appearance:

Seiler

Alina is fairly clean for someone of her darker profession. She stands at about 5'5.

Backstory: Alina was born into a family in a small town along with a twin brother named Adam Seiler. While the mother died giving birth to the twins, the father took care of the twins after her death. Being a soldier, some of his profession's talents naturally passed on to his children even if he was not home for extended periods of time. When they both grew up, Alina and her brother began to take separate paths. While Adam decided to take the path of their father, Alina had connections with the underground already established. Through these connections, her involvement with the criminal underworld was assured.

As the twins went their separate ways, so too did their thinking. Alina became greedier, having a lust for money and power take her. At first, it was harmless. Then her first assassination, killing a nobleman, offered too much money for her to turn away. For whatever unknown reason in the eyes of others, she continued the bloody trade of death-dealing gradually developing the skills necessary for such. In particular, she started to deceive, use poison, stealth and other indirect means when a firearm or knife would not do, though the direct approach was also just as viable to Alina.

Eventually, a contract killing was out for a peculiar case: the Rivianne. With Adam Seiler having disappeared 3 months prior and Alina's contacts pointing out the Rivanne mansion as a possible location, Alina decided to hit two birds with one stone: assassinating what was left of the Rivianne family and their servants and finding her brother.
Inventory:
-Backpack: contains an extra similar set of clothing and carries most of her equipment.

-Knife: For the more quiet assassinations that cannot be dealt with by other means.

-6 shot revolver: A revolver. Comes with 6 shots.

-Lock-picking kit

-Canteen of water

-Poison mixing kit(Empty): Used for the mixing and making medicine...or poison

-Makeshift map of outside the mansion

Intro/Sample Post: It was a late night, however it was the night that Alina found was where she was at her brightest. This was especially true with her trade, which required her to be subtle yet deadly. Plenty of times she has had to kill in the open, but rarely was it during the day. And yet she was about to commit yet another deed of dealing death to another soul.

That poor soul or perhaps even souls, were those at the Rivianne residence, of which Alina was approaching. Alina has visited near this place several times, marking down everything she could and mapping the outside. She paid special attention to the entrances and exits during these runs, ensuring she had both an escape and an infiltration route laid out. Tonight was when all of this preparation was put to the test. Squeezing through a hole that was in the fence, Alina passed the first barrier. Now, the second barrier between her, her money and potentially her brother was the mansion itself. Going around the back, she spied a door that would suit her needs: not the main entrance and more importantly unguarded. Taking out her trusty lock-picking kit, Alina got to work on the door. With a quiet sound, she heard the tumblers tick into place and the door unlock.

However, upon opening the door Alina suddenly felt lightheaded and fell onto her knees. She felt her strength being sapped from her body as she struggled to crawl inside. It was the only thing she could think of to do, but the last thing she thought before she went unconscious was that it was a trap, and that she knew she should have brought the shotgun instead of trying to sneak inside.
Other: N/A

@Bushman501

She looks fine to me. The only thing I'd comment on is maybe getting rid of the gun since there won't be much combat in this RP. However, I'll leave that final jurisdiction for KoL. Who knows, maybe people will listen to her if she's the only one with a firearm.

[Awesomoman64]

@Awesomoman64

Am I the only one without weapons?

[Lucius Cypher]

@Conscripts

Solaire is without a weapon unless you count a tiny pocket knife as a deadly weapon.

[Conscripts]

@Lucius Cypher

Yeah, it can still kill. For Arthur, a book, a pocket watch and a piece of paper. Possibly if anything happens, I'll go with you guys

[KoL]

@Bushman501

Your character is fine by me as well. As @TheWindel said, if you want to get even more into the horror side of the story, dropping the gun might be good. Combat, will be rare and far in between, if any ever happens. It'll likely not be that important in the end.

It's just a suggestion, though. After all, @Awesomoman64's character already has a gun, if you feel like so, it would be unfair to deny you.

@TheWindel

I don't really plan to use that example character, but he'll be referenced in the story, that's for sure. One thing worth of note is that, no where in the description, have I implied that the characters got to the mansion around the same time, have I? Maybe some people have been there for ages and don't know about it.

@Conscripts

@Lucius Cypher

*Points at the medieval mace in his description* I'm sure of this, I'm really sure.

@KoL

I assure you may good ladypants, this is but a humble cane for my travels. Though young and spry my journeys take be far and wide, and this staff has served me well to guide my steps and help me on my way.

You wouldn't deny an old, wounded missionary his walking stick, would you?
