<Snipped quote by Shoryu>

It's still open.

In fact to everyone else, I need to know who is 'interested' and who is actually going to take part.

@Shoryu Profile looks good, go ahead and post it.

@Katthaj Let me know when you've finished up your profile.

@Bell

I think you accidentally '@'d me for that second message, I just 'got' here and am getting started, so I haven't submitted a profile yet XD

But good to know! I'll try to be punctual about producing a CS ;3

[Bell]

@Shoryu That I did, my bad.

@Gunther Meant YOUR profile is good to go.

[Salenea]

I want to join.

My charcarter sheet:

Jillian Bosson

Name: Jillian Bosson

Age: 25

Background: Jillian was born and raised in Baltimore together with her little brother and sister. Her parents both worked full time, her mother as a teacher and her father as a smith. Her grandparent often told her about the surface and what had happend during the Atomic Awakening but both her parents and herself have never seen the surface and certainly never seen the war or the beasts other then a few scarce pictures at that time.

As child, when she wasn't in school, she mostly wandered the streets. Often she nimbly climbed the buildings and jumped from roof to roof, even trying to get on top of the wall. Always trying to get higher and higher. She made it a game to not be caught by authorities. When Jillian turned 16 she fell through the roof of a house belonging to an elderly woman. The woman decided not to turn her over and after severly lecturing Jill she started to teach her how to fix things by telling her to fix all kinds of things around her house as 'punishment'.

When Jillian turned 18 her father learned her his trade, smithing. It was hard to get coal but her father was an excellent smith so he was allowed some coal for important projects. When there was some coal left Jill could smith with scrap metal if there wasn't any she fixed things around the house. Jillian often went to the docks to barter for additional coal and looked at the floating ships with a longing gaze.

At her 21st birthday her parents gave her a toolbelt and a toolbox for smithing and tinkering as they called it. Exalted Jillian took them and went to search for a job as her brother was now learning the trade.
From her 21st till her 25th she did all kinds of jobs on the shipyards, airdocks and on board a ship between cities. Jill worked hard and saved hard because the more she worked there the more she longed to get off the city and fly in the skies. When she witnessed how one of those ships got taken down by one of those beast Jillian decided it was time to fight back and that she could help Humanity with her skill set. She found a ship to enlist in and found herself one step closer to fulfilling her dream.

Personality: Jillian is adventerous and ambitious. She knows what she wants and she goes for it, no detours. Jill can be headstrong if she thinks she is right and she can make rash decisions, not always having safety first in mind. She might take some shortcuts in not work related duties but she is very precise when it comes to repairing and creating. She likes to be around be people and is always in for a game although she is a sore loser.

Crew Position: Engineer

Aspirations: Jill dreams big. She loves fixing things and tinkering but what she really wants is to fly the skies. She aspires to be a pilot one day and who knows maybe even become a captain and have a ship of her own.

Appearance: Jillian has straight chestnut brown hair that reaches halfway her back. She braids it when working and when she is free she has her hair hanging loose held in control with a small braided leather headband. Her eyes are sea green. Jillian is about 5ft3 and is slender. She has a fair, warm skin tone. Jill wears tight fitted dark black trousers and a grey tunic with a sleeveless black blazer. She wears her brown leather toolbelt pretty much constantly. Jillian carries a small dagger in a sheath and a pocket pistol in one of the compartiments of her tool belt.

[spacepirate]

There be dragons here, indeed.

This looks like fun! I will be working on a CS, if it's still good to apply. :)

[Bell]

@Salenea Go ahead and post it.

@spacepirate Yep, all good to apply.

I'll be getting an IC post up soon just to get it started, and people can join as they are accepted. We'll just assume that anyone who applies to the RP is in some shape or form, around. Whether it's just an unnamed member of the crew now having a name, or a new addition, we'll figure it out as we go.

[Rtron]

I don't think I'll have the time for this RP. Apologies for the inconvenience and any issues I may have caused.

@Rtron

Same-ish. Best of luck! ❤

[Shoryu]

I'm in a bit better condition than I thought was to focus on this now XD sorry, I had a few days of really busy family issues that needed the real focus for a while!

[sassy1085]

Here my character

My Hider

Name: Loralie Sicarius

Age: 24

Background: Loralie Sicarius was born and rise in a assassin unit, The Poisonous Snakes, just like her mother. At age seven, her mother and other members of the unit train to how stealth and kill targets, she also learn medical expertise from her mother. Even though Loralie only have her mother, she consider The Poisonous Snakes as her family, the unit and her mother were always there for her when she needed them the most and she's always grateful for that. By the time she turn fifteen, she finally got her assassin name, "Yellow Fang" and got her first kill, everything was coming up to Loralie…...But by the time she turn seventeen, that where everything change.

After Loralie kill her target, she gone back home hoping to find the same warm smile of hello from familiar faces.....But all she can find were dead bodies of her assassin unit and her mother. Loralie try to wake some of the members up but all of them never did, they were all dead but when she try to wake up her mother, her mother open her eyes and with her last strength, told Loralie that a rival assassin unit, The Claw Wings, barge in into the headquarter and attack them, she also say to Loralie that she and assassin unit love her very much, she close her eyes and she...was gone.

After that incident, Loralie vow to kill every member of The Claw Wings.

Personality: Though bit eccentric and sarcastic, she takes her jobs as a assassin and doctor, very seriously and care so much about her crew

Crew Position: Doctor

Aspirations: To kill every member of her rival assassin unit, The Claw Wings

Appearance:
Loralie stands 6'0" and weight 82 lb, she wears a black body-length suit, which extends downwards to her knees.
Loralie also wears a white doctor coat with the sleeve roll up to the elbows along with two silver bracelets on both wrists but under underneath the doctor coat, she have a snake tattoo on her right arm, the tattoo is the tribute to her assassin unit. For her facial features, her blonde hair arranged in a spiked style, with two long strands extending downwards framing either side of her face, her eyes containing yellow irises with black pupils.

[Bell]

@Shoryu That's fine.

@sassy1085 I don't mean any offense by this but, that whole profile is like broken English, and as I said in This Post the ship would not currently have a doctor, as it's not large enough to need one and doesn't go out on extended trips. Also I'm just not really sure about the whole idea of the character. Aside from just seeming like she's basically Medusa from Soul Eater but with Blackstar's backstory, I don't really understand why an assassin would join a crew that goes out to fight monsters, if her goal is to kill other people, specifically ones who killed her family. I'm also just in general, not sure about the idea of a bunch of assassin groups going around killing each other and other people. The world is basically in a post-apocalyptic state where everyone is coming together for survival, and the most conflict that has happened between humans is really minor crimes, and disputes between the different cities.

[Vertigo]

Planning on a younger guy who just wants to break away from his mundane life and chase some adventure and adrenaline. Probably underestimates the danger out there severely, at least at first. Until we run into an actual dragon and he turns out to be the one with the girliest scream.

Not sure about his position in the crew yet. I was thinking helmsman at first, but I'm not sure how realistic it'd be to hire a greenhorn to steer your boat. Unless he maybe has some street cred as having piloted some other vessels in the past exceptionally well (do they have airboat racing out there with some smaller vessels? Maybe he won a recent race and showed particular skill or something.)

[Bell]

@Vertigo I wouldn't say it's unlikely that there's some sort of racing going on mostly with the younger people, this of course leaves them open to dangers such as being attacked mid race though, so could be that he not only won races, but out maneuvered some creatures that were chasing the racers.

[Vertigo]

That would actually work perfectly. It'd help explain why he underestimates the real danger out there too; having outmaneuvered some monsters already, he's feeling invincible and needs to venture further to get his next rush of 'drenaline. He'll be in for a rude awakening eventually, I'm sure. And I'm all for it.

I'll go ahead and make him the helmsman then, if I may. Will work on a CS today/tomorrow, got a solid idea now so it shouldn't take super long to finish.

[Bell]

Been sick the last two days. An IC post will be up within the next 24 hours.

[Bell]

@Gunther@Salenea

Just making sure you guys are still here and ready for this. I know it's taken a while to get started.

[Salenea]

Still here and ready

It would take a lot more than a few days to get rid of me. I was once in an RP where people took up to a month to post on occasion and I did not quit. I also had another rare moment. I was in a group of 8 role players who actually finished a Role Play! That is unheard of...amazing, right!? It took us 7 months and it was a lot of fun. I was camping this weekend and didn't get a lot of time to check my computer or the RPG site.

@Gunther

Alright. I've just found that on RPG RPs die off far more often than they actually get going, mostly as a result in how every 2/3 people who says they start working on a profile, will never be heard from again and it really just kills the drive to even run the RP.

So I'll get the start up tonight, and whether there's 2 of us, 3 of us, or whatever we'll get this going.

[Vertigo]

Yeah, I admit my profile writing was halted since there was silence and I was afraid this'd died. Just recently I made quite a long sheet only to see the rp it was for die before it even began, so I wasn't eager to have it happen again.

But since this is kicking, I'll definitely go ahead and finish that sheet! Won't be able to write tomorrow, but should have it later this week.

[Gunther]

@Vertigo

FEAR of an RP dying is merely a self-fulling prophecy. Believing it will be the best Role Play ever in the history of role playing and putting all of your creative juices into it will help to make it just that. If it is an idea you truly enjoy, put all of you into it.
