Definitely

[aladdin_sane]

Finally finished my post. Hope I tagged everyone in the venue.

[Pilatus]

@aladdin_sane

I cracked up seriously when I read that. That was gold.

[aladdin_sane]

@Pilatus

I consider that a success then.

[Monacho]

Well that was... Quite unexpected, lol. An unpredictable change-up. I'm pretty sure it'll be fun to see how every character reacts to that.

@aladdin_sane

I'll try to have a post up either tonight or tomorrow morning.

[RoccanIronclad]

Name: Milo Ventri
Age: 25
Appearance:

My Hider

Height: 6'0"

Weight: 200

Likes: Drinking, smoking, seafood, big band and swing, Hema (historical european martial arts), Smithing, fishing, boating.

Dislikes: Gambling, shouting unnecessarily, pop music and those that love it, kendo, computers.

Zodiac Sign: Taurus

Special Talent: despite his age he is a skilled longswordsman, as well as a somewhat accomplished blacksmith.

Profession: Milo is an old world Blacksmith by trade, he works out of a small workshop that he owns and lives in The Old Harbor part of the city.

Bio/Personality: As a child, Milo was entrenched in the world of iron. His family, living in a large steel producing city, were all part of the industry and so he was constantly exposed to the sights, but he chose to take a different approach, he chose to be a Blacksmith. Fantasizing about knights in armor, warriors clashing swords, he began to forge blades, and soon he began to use them. Milo soon began making a name for himself in his city on the tournament circuit, and with every win, new customers followed after seeing his own blades used in competition. This was surely the life he wanted and the one he was going to lead, all until he was involved in a car accident. With his leg badly damaged there was little hope of competition, but he could still practice and fight to an extent, the doctors all gave him hope that maybe someday, maybe he could compete.
Milo soon fell into a deep depression and began to drink heavily, but soon he was given a gift, a small workshop on the dockside of Sol city, his dream home, a new beginning, and maybe and solid chance to come back from his injury, a chance to make his name relevant again.

Milo tends to be a stubborn mule when it comes to most things, however, when he has been drinking you can get him to bend with a smile and a kind word, though be prepared for payback for taking advantage of him when he sobers up. Milo is very competitive and will fight to the bitter end with no sign of quitting even when he starts losing, now made more intense ever since pulling out of his depression, now that state is the fire that drives him.

Your character's favorite song:

Tell us about yourself:

*Your age: 24
*What part of the world are you from? USA
*How many years have you been writing/roleplaying: on and off for seven years
*How often do you have time to post? I can post everyday

[Rabidporcupine]

Well, here's my app. Tell me if I need to change anything.

CS Sheet

Name: Joseph Moore

Age: 20

Appearance:

Height: 180 cms

Weight: 93 kg

Likes: Anime, gardening, cooking, games, reading, writing, most forms of spirits, the occult.

Dislikes: Wine, Beer, social interaction with most people, confrontation, himself.

Zodiac Sign: Scorpio

Special Talent: Joseph is a surprisingly good cook, a talent that comes from living alone for a few years now, wandering the country and doing what he can to make the food he scrounges up somewhat edible.

He is also a decent writer, keeping several journals filled with stories from his travels, often adapted into a fantasy setting.

Profession: Unemployed, and technically homeless. If you were to ask him, however, he'd probably say he's a wanderer, like Kenshin. He'd then immediately hide his face and shy away, realising he'd just tarried to talk about anime with a 'real' person.

Bio/Personality: For pretty much his entire life, Joseph has been a fairly withdrawn person. He never quite managed to get the hang of social interaction, and he had an annoying tendency to miss a lot of social cues.

This got to the point where, by the time he was fifteen, he had only ever had two friends, a pair of sisters who he knew when they were all kids. They managed to be friends for a good six years, before they moved away to somewhere across the country. After they left, he all but gave up on talking to other people entirely, retreating into the magical digital world of games, anime and writing. Things were going great, right up until one day when he was sixteen. What changed, you ask?

Well, his parents died. Car crash.

This led to a problem, in that back when they got married, it wasn't exactly with the approval of either of their parents. In fact, according to the stories they told him, it was with very adamant disapproval. Therefore, they did something that, in their minds, was the obvious choice, and ran away to the other side of the country to elope. Honestly, Joseph could kind of see his grandparents points, considering that his mother was the only child and 'heiress' to an honestly ridiculously wealthy family, his father was the son of an abusive heroin addict of a mother and a father who quite possibly didn't even know of his existence, having disappeared before his mother even learned of the pregnancy, and they were seventeen and sixteen respectively at the time of their escape. However, it also led him to a problem.

He was still a minor, and the government would probably try to place him in his richer grandparents care. He'd seen enough anime to know how they may very well see him, especially considering how they apparently saw his dad.

And so, out of fear of being put in the care of resentful grandparents, combined with the less than stellar mindset you tend to find yourself in when both of your parents have suddenly been stolen away from you, he did the only thing he could think of at the time.

Ask uncle google what you would need to survive on the road, gather it up along with your important keepsakes, and run away from home.

For the next four years, he traveled all across America. He managed to make enough money to not starve to death doing odd jobs, usually helping out on farms and the like. However, he still remained fairly withdrawn socially, never connecting with the people he helped in the way he would have liked.

Now, he has arrived in Sol city, wondering if perhaps it might be a nice time to stop wandering.

Your character's favorite song: Going Home, from Bleach.

The following is not required, but we strongly encourage you to at least put a little something. In the past we have found that when players get to know each other as real people, not just as names on a screen, it helps the longevity of the game. Seriously, please get to know your fellow players.

Tell us about yourself:

*Your age:
21

*What part of the world are you from?
Australia

*How many years have you been writing/roleplaying: (if you're on your first year, that's totally fine too)
Well, I started around January this year, so I'm still kind of inexperienced compared to a lot of other people I've met.

*How often do you have time to post? (this is just a general, honest question, no judgment)
Gonna be honest, it kind of fluctuates. Sometimes I'll be able to post once a day, or even more, and then other times a full week will pass before I can get to it.

*Anything else you want to mention? What you do for a living? How much do you work a week? What do you enjoy doing besides writing? Put as much as you want.

Honestly, I don't really know what to say. I'm currently looking for a job, but don't have one at the moment. I'm dreadfully shy in real life, so that makes it a little difficult. Apart from writing, I don't have a whole lot of real hobbies. I guess martial arts and cooking could also count, but I haven't cooked in a little while.
So yeah, not really a whole lot I can say...

@RoccanIronclad

Approved. @Pilatus just needs to double check .

Approved. @Rabidporcupine . but @Pilatus has to check it. Also any new apps will have too go to female preference for balance again though.

[Pilatus]

@RoccanIronclad, @Rabidporcupine

Both approved

[Rabidporcupine]

Nice, I'll get to work reading up on what's been happening in the IC then!
