Sounds good I am all for the scripted events, makes it easier to get everyone together all in one place.

Sounds good I am all for the scripted events, makes it easier to get everyone together all in one place.

@Robo27

Scripted lightly. It's not a railword event. It's scripted but there's a lot of room I'm there for people to shape their way they take it.

The event is more a tool, a nudge to get more charecters to attend one place, to get them interacting.

After that, it's up to people how they use it. Be it drama, romance, or plots abound.

[Robo27]

I got you, I use the word scripted very lightly. Scripted in that it's setup for us, but from there we have free reign, all for it as I said.

Zodiac Sign:
Gemini

Special Talent:
Dancing, Baking, and some would consider her kindness a special talent.

Profession:
She is currently a waitress at The Coffee Pot but is also studying at a performing arts school for dancing.

Bio/Personality:
Sadie and her family originally lived in New York when Sadie was growing up. Her life from birth to about 6 was fairly normal. She had many friends in Kindergarten, and first grade had started the same way until something happened.

You see Sadie wasn't born a Hill. She was adopted into the family at the age of six. She was orphaned when her family was killed during a kidnapping gone wrong. Her father and mother tried to stop two men who were attempting to kidnap Sadie and her younger brother. The parents were killed by the two men and Sadie and her brother had received serious injuries, but before the kidnappers could get away the cops showed up. The men were arrested and the two children were rushed to the hospital. Unfortunately, Sadie's brother died during treatment and when Sadie was stable weeks later they moved her to the children's wing. The long process of figuring out what to do with her began. She had no close or distant living relatives and they were most likely going to put her in the foster program. However, there was a family that had happened to be volunteering at the hospital at the time and Sadie quickly became attached to the twins of the family. The kids knew that Sadie was probably going to become a foster child but they couldn't let it happened. So after days of constant begging, their parents decided to undergo the adoption process. She doesn't remember much before the incident but loves her new family all the same.

Sadie was overjoyed with the fact that someone had chosen to take her in. She had two new older brothers, Oliver and Alex; two older sisters, Lindsey and Kiley; and a younger brother, Micky. Her new parents were Nathan and Taylor. Her new family was loving and caring and she didn't feel left out for one second. They always made sure she felt at home with them. This is only the first chapter of Sadie's story. After finishing her schooling with this wonderfully close family standing behind her, she decided to head out her on her own to pursue her love of dancing.

As far as who she is, Sadie is a natural caretaker. It is just who she is. Whenever she sees anyone hurting or in need she can't help but try to take care of them no matter who they are or what they've done. Although she does at times neglect to take care of herself and if anyone mentions it she will get upset. She makes friends easily, but she won't abandon her closest friends. Some people on the outside looking in probably think she has gotten over her past and is a perfect example of what someone should hope to be.

This isn't true in the slightest. She still has her issues. As a result of the trauma early in her life, she has developed chronic depression and Depersonilization Disorder. It hasn't been that bad in recent years because she is starting to get better but she is still very self-conscious.

@alexfangtalon

What happened to Image #2?? This app is denied!

Just kidding, approved.

@PrinceAlexus

[alexfangtalon]

@Pilatus

To be honest, another reason I do the vote thing is because sometimes it helps me see which I like better. (This is between you and me but I legitimately started feeling sad that img 1 got more votes). But I found a solution. Since the images both sorta fit my plan is to, when it starts getting warmer in the rp, to switch the images. It’s a compromise. Halfway happy. Cause I really really like both. I’m strange aren’t I.

[Robo27]

I like that reasoning! Also good CS I like it!

[RawrEspada4]

@PrinceAlexus @Pilatus

Okay so the character is finally done, the bio isn't really up to what I'd call par but today has been complete shit and I don't want to put this off any longer. I'll probably go in and flesh out the bio in the next couple days but really just wanted to get it posted.

That all said I also have a location on the way, Footsteps Sports Bar.

Zodiac Sign: Aquarius
Special Talent: Despite not playing in the last four years Tommy still has one hell of an arm. Additionally he can make some pretty solid mixed drinks.
Profession: Bartender/Owner
Bio/Personality:

It’s not a common event the birth of a star but that’s what the 17th of February 1989 marked. Thomas Lomax was the dream; quarterback of his high school football team, state champions all four years, a two time All-American, homecoming king--- he had it all. And life stayed that way for Thomas as he started university at Ohio State on an athletic scholarship. Tommy spent his first year at OSU mainly riding the bench, learning from the coaches and other players, his second year though saw him take the field as the first string quarterback where he proceeded to lead OSU to a conference championship. By this time the name Thomas Lomax was already making ripples in the professional community so it was to no real surprise that after Tommy followed the conference championship up with a national title that he was offered a spot in the NFL. In the 2011 NFL draft Thomas Lomax ended up a first round draft pick for the Sol City Icarus Angels. Dropping out of school Tommy relocated from the midwest to Sol City and began his training with the Angels. Tommy’s rookie year was a record breaking one in which he lead the Angels to the NFC championship, where they unfortunately lost. Going into his second year it was a similar story except in which the way it ended. The dawn of the 20th of January 2013 saw The Icarus Angels once again finding themselves competing in the NFC championship, once more playing for a spot at the Super Bowl. The game came down to the wire, it was a game that was decided by a matter seconds not a matter of points. However for Thomas Lomax it was a game with a life defining second. In the fourth quarter during the Angels’ last drive downfield Lomax took a nasty hit that shut down the dreams of the Sol City Icarus Angels and shattered the knee of their star quarterback. And so it was that the 20th of January 2013 marked the falling of a star.

With a shattered knee Thomas found himself back in small town Ohio, staying with his parents while waiting for the knee to heal. The small town was suffocating after the last two years in Sol City and it was only made worse by the constant pity he felt from those around him. Once he was back on his feet, more literally than figuratively, Tommy made the decision to permanently make the move back to Sol City. Thanks to the size of the city Tommy could almost start over. People recognized him from time to time, and some of them still pitied him but it wasn’t the constant it had been in Ohio. Despite the tragically short career Tommy had had with the Icarus Angels he had still made a small fortune, roughly eight million between his signing bonus and the payout for his two years. In all reality it meant that Thomas was set for life and could feasibly enjoy a very young retirement. And this is what Tommy spent the next year doing. However, as is oft the case, retirement didn’t suite Tommy well. A sedentary life was just not one that clicked with the former All-American.

Trying to find something to occupy his days as a retiree Tommy didn’t take long to settle on the idea of a sports bar. It made some level of sense, it was something to do that required near daily oversight and wasn’t liable to become too boring too quickly--- plus it also capitalized on his local fame. And so Footsteps Sports Bar was born. Since opening the bar in 2014 it has become somewhat of a go to spot for sports fans in the area.

Other than the running of a sports bar, which does take up quite a bit of time. Tommy supplements his semi-retired life style with as much exercise as he can manage however due to his knee injury this isn’t always possible, in fact sometimes, on bad days, Tommy has to use a cane to get around.

About Me

Tell us about yourself:

*Your age: 23
*What part of the world are you from? The great nothingness of Midwest, United States (central standard time).
*How many years have you been writing/roleplaying: I joined the guild in 2012, the year of Guildfall however I’ve been playing tabletop roleplaying games since 2006-2007 so total about ten years of roleplay experience. To be honest I have been on a rather long break from the Guild until very recently (roughly 2 years or so).
*How often do you have time to post? Right now I’m pretty much free whenever, and can post once every day or two. However I am getting ready to move in the next few weeks which will probably slow down my ability to get posts up, I won’t disappear though as I do most of my roleplaying through my phone.
*Misc.
Outside of roleplaying my primary hobbies revolve around attending concerts, playing Magic the Gathering and keeping up with wrestling and the numerous podcasts I follow.

[PrinceAlexus]

@alexfangtalon

Approved If you do genuinely want, you can always add the second image in a spoiler tab, if you find a perfect image feel free to edit that one.

@RawrEspada4

Great. Approved and tag or PM me the final version or the bar so I can edit you into the first page.

I'm OK with you fleshing it out as you feel like it.

You can both put in your opening posts.

[Furiosa]

Name: Ren White

Age: 21

Appearance:



Height: 185 cm / 6’

Weight: 78 kg / 171 lbs

Likes: Coffee, lots of it. Drinking – he loves to forget all about who he is, but hates being vulnerable of spilling his thoughts to other people. Arguing, and being right.

Dislikes: Nosy people. Annoying people. People who think they’re better than him. Going to bed - Ren loves to sleep, but hates lying in bed alone with his thoughts.

Zodiac Sign: Scorpio. Birthday: November 1st.
Strengths: Resourceful, brave, passionate, stubborn, a true friend.
Weaknesses: Distrusting, jealous, secretive, violent.
Scorpio likes: Truth, facts, being right, longtime friends, teasing, a grand passion.
Scorpio dislikes: Dishonesty, revealing secrets, passive people.

Special Talent: Ren was taught to play the piano as a child, and is really good at it. Not that he wants anybody to know. He is also surprisingly good at dancing.

Profession: Studying to become a surgeon at the most prestigious university in the city.

Bio/Personality: Ren is the only child of a rich family. His father inherited a successful pharmaceutical company from his father again, earning them a fortune. Growing up in a big mansion Ren had lots of servants and maids around him, but rarely his parents - who were busy working. He has few friends and big time trust issues. He’s snarky, short tempered, grumpy and sulky when he doesn’t get his way. He’s smug, arrogant and believes himself to be better than most people. Secretly he just wants to be accepted for who he is instead of what he has and who his father is. He envies people who makes friends easy, and though he will never admit it he is drawn towards such people. Ren is struggling with his sexuality, not knowing what he identifies as. He tries to forget this by studying in most of his free time. As his father wanted, he’s in Med. School studying to become a surgeon, unsure of this is what he actually wants to do with his life.

Your character's favorite song: Written in the Water by Gin Wigmore. If you bring this up Ren will turn beet red and utterly deny ever having heard of the song.

Tell us about yourself:

*Your age: 22.

*What part of the world are you from? Norway.

*How many years have you been writing/roleplaying: I’ve never roleplayed on a forum like this before, but I used to roleplay a bit with people online back in the day when msn was a thing (Online chat, kind of like Skype), lol. It consisted primarily of speed posting, so writing paragraphs will be a welcoming challenge. I would exclusively do fandom based RP’s, so RP with OC’s is new territory for me as well. I think it’s more challenging to come up with the concept of a whole person instead of just writing about a character you’re already familiar with, but hey, still equally as fun.

*How often do you have time to post? I’ll start by saying 2-4 times a week, but the way things are right now I’ll probably check in every day.

*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?
I just finished my bachelor’s degree as a kindergarten teacher, but didn’t feel like going into the work field just yet, so now I’m studying a master’s degree in pedagogy. Other hobbies include watching movies and tv series, creative stuff like needle felting, drawing/painting, strumming clumsily on my ukulele and singing (guitar is too hard for me, lol.), etc. I play video games to a certain degree, but the games I can play is limited due to sever motion sickness if it’s a first person kind of game (I’ll almost throw up after 30 minutes of games like Mass Effect or such… (ಠ‿ಠ’) ).

BTW: During winter here in Norway it gets dark most of the day. Right now, we get about 8 hours of sunlight a day, but it gets worse (ಥ_ಥ) Because of this most of us suffer from winter depressions, including me. Hooray ʘ‿ʘ. So if I get down in a funk and needs to step back from obligations I will give a heads up. I don’t think this will become likely right now, but maybe it will when I have exams on top of everything else. We’ll see (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ.

PS: Sorry for the emoticon abuse. I find them too funny sometimes （´・ω・ `）(send help).
