I am not sure if this idea has been brought forth before or not. Unfortunately I am far too lazy to check so I'm just going to go ahead and ask. Are there going to be special events in Sol City that will bring all the players together so that we all have a chance to socialise? Or do we all have to somehow find each other in this vast city like Sleepless in Seattle? If you want ideas for possible festivals and events then I would be more than happy to do a little brainstorming.

@TwelveOf8

We have one now :)

The Jazz night is meant to bring together any player who wanted to join, and is active now.
Its at Swan songs and is basically a jazz evening with room for any musically talented characters to take to the stage too!

We made the event, how you take it and make it your own is up to you :)

We welcome ideas, please near in mind we may not use it, or it may be adapted, events are harder to please everyone than locations.

[Pilatus]

@TwelveOf8

We have regular events like what's going now with the jazz night. A couple pages back here in the OOC there is a GM Update we did to make it easy to stay current without reading all the conversations we've had. It would still be a good idea to skim over them.

Venue.

Swan Songs: by aladdin_sane

Located in our beautiful historic district Swan Songs has been Sol’s number one provider of records and tapes since 1976.

“My father Isaac was always adamant that a healthy city is artistically vibrant. And at least to me music is the most important of the Arts” says Rupert Kingsley 44 who inherited the business after his father at the age of 87 retired with his wife Mandy to the sunny shores of Florida in 2004.

Rupert and his staff have curated a large collection of music from all genres; they also offer great selections from both mainstream staples and more eclectic artists. While they do not carry everything ever recorded Rupert ensures us that Swan Songs is always adding new stock and the store would be more than happy to appraise your collection if you wish to sell.

Throughout the years, the shop has offered more than just albums; they have provided a spot for our more musically inclined residents to congregate and perhaps perform. Rupert prides himself on supporting local bands and the windows of the shop are normally plastered with ads for upcoming gigs or “musician wanted” posters. Swan Songs also sell albums, EPs, and singles from local bands and artists; some these great local selections include Lyclene obscurilinea from the post-punk outfit Louis-Pierre Gravel, Bottle Rocket the latest release from the darkwave band Kremlin, and the somber new album from M33 entitled L'Estaque, Melting Snow Once or twice a month the store will transform itself into a live venue for a local or touring band to perform.

“Newcomers to the city are always asking about the local scene and what bands they should check out” says Kingsley “Our helpful staff are always happy to point those folks in the right direction.”

So if you are looking to expand your musical horizons you would be doing yourself a huge disservice by not visiting Swan Songs. They are located on 412 W 18th street next to Café Clover and Lawful Good Gaming.

@PrinceAlexus

@Pilatus@PrinceAlexus

The jazz nights on Mondays look fun. I will be sure to skim over the previous OOC posts a little later. To really acclimate myself to things. Thanks for the help.

[Pilatus]

@TwelveOf8

Sounds good, the last big update we did can be found on Page 9.

[King Tai]

I'll try to have a post up tonight. Just catching up on replies at the moment.

[RawrEspada4]

Currently cranking out a post right now. But just wanted to say @PrinceAlexus and @Pilatus the map is amazing. The lay out is just great. Especially love how close Old Harbour (where Tommy lives) is so close to The Coffee Pot, Luna Sports and most importantly Footsteps.

Also on the note of Footsteps, I've put together a list of npcs with a bit of personality to act as staff of Footsteps and add a little flavor to Sol as a whole. Where would I post that?

[PrinceAlexus]

@RawrEspada4

If you post that here. I can edit that into your entry tonight for me or satay morning.

Thanks. But you must thank Pilatus for the map. I only coded the top post.

[RawrEspada4]

@PrinceAlexus alright I'll get the npcs up, wanna find them some pics first so that they feel a little more fleshed out.

Footsteps Sports Bar Staff

Tommy Lomax- Owner/Bartender/Waiter/Host

See Character Tab

Ted Preston- Fry Cook

Hider

Vital Info
Age: 33
Weight: 72kg/159lbs
Height: 180cm/5’11

Ted and Tommy met when Tommy first moved to Sol City, Ted was Tommy’s favorite cook at a local diner and the two became well acquainted. When Tommy opened up Footsteps Ted made the jump and became one of the two cooks for the bar. Ted is the definitive non-morning person, taking multiple alarms before he’s out of bed and not one for any sort of small talk before the clock says 11. When it’s not morning Ted is recognizable by his boisterous voice and terrible jokes. Ted is also best friends with Will, and the two live in the same apartment complex and often ride to work together.

Parker Mors- Fry Cook

Hider

Vital Info
Age: 22
Weight: 78kg/172lbs
Height: 188cm/6’2

Parker is a student at Solaris University studying in the culinary arts. Outside of school and work though Parker drums in a local band and can often be found spending his nights off at the various local venues around the city. Parker’s personality is defined by his quick-wit and charm, if it wasn’t for his incredible skills in the kitchen it would almost be a waste to not have him upfront as a host.

Will Logan- Bartender

Hider

Vital Info
Age: 32
Weight: 71kg/157lbs
Height: 178cm/5’10

Will is Ted’s best friend, the two have been friends since they were in high school together. Now days they live in the same apartment complex and often ride together on their way to work. Will is a highly sociable person with a charming smile that has won him more than a few phone numbers while working the bar.

Jess Hanson- Bartender

Hider

Vital Info
Age: 24
Weight: 55kg/121lbs
Height: 173cm/5’8

Jessica Hanson is nearly a stereotype; long blond hair, baby-blue eyes, long legs and a buxom chest. In appearance at least she looks like the butt-end of every blonde joke that’s ever been told. That however is where the stereotype ends. Jess Hanson is currently working on her masters degree in psychology, not quite the stereotypical blonde pursuit. Beyond that she is a devastating combination of smart and charismatic, traits that along with her looks help bring in the tips.

Ellie Mercer- Hostess

Hider

Vital Info
Age: 28
Weight: 49kg/107lbs
Height: 160cm/5’3

Ellie is what people refer to as a social chameleon, always shifting to reflect those around her. While this makes her excel in the service industry it does make it a little hard to know who she really is. On the surface she appears friendly, helpful and well-intending but then again that’s what the job requires.

Mark Landers-Host

Hider

Mark Landers views his job at Footsteps as a way to make ends meet while he pursues his primary love, the saxophone and while he hasn’t seen any major success he does have a couple records on sale at Swan Songs and plays there occasionally. Despite viewing Footsteps as simply a way to make ends meet he is a consummate professional and has been working at Footsteps for the last two and half years. His smile and deep bass voice only serves to enhance the warmth and inviting nature of Footsteps Sports Bar.

Vital Info
Age: 27
Weight: 83kg/184lbs
Height: 185cm/6’1

Sadie Hill-Waitress

See Character Tab.

Laura Jackson-Waitress

Hider

Vital Info
Age: 32
Weight: 65kg/144lbs
Height: 166cm/5’5

Laura Jackson is a mother of two children and in addition to working at Footsteps she waits tables at another restaurant in Sol City. Due to working two jobs and taking care of two kids Laura nearly always looks tired, she is however an efficient worker. She can be a bit short sometimes but does a good job of maintaining her friendly face around customers. Laura is one of the two most senior employees of Footsteps (along with Ted), due to her time with Footsteps she has developed a bad habit of trying to abuse her seniority to get prime tables and shifts.

Eric Jacobs-Waiter

Hider

Vital Info
Age: 17
Weight: 69kg/152lbs
Height: 172cm/5’8

Eric is a high school senior at Sol City High. Because he is still in school Eric primarily works weekends and a few post school shifts a week. Eric is a hard worker and goes out of his way to make good impression on people. Outside of school and work Eric spends his time like most teenagers, with his friends or the internet.

This is the staff for Footsteps @Pilatus and @PrinceAlexus, I'm working on finding fitting pictures for everyone right now.

[PrinceAlexus]

[Pilatus]

@RawrEspada4

[Pilatus]

Map updated with two new bridges named.

[King Tai]

Here's another place to add to the list lol @PrinceAlexus@Pilatus

SCPD

Sol City Police Dept.

Sol City's finest. The proud law enforcement that's here to protect and serve. They are fair and just. No toleration for racial prejudice or profiling, corruption, nor instance of man slaughter. they fight to keep a clean record to give the people of Sol City trust and dependability.

[Furiosa]

I'm working on a (long) post now! Wow, awesome with more NCPs and bridge names.
