That's kind of inefficient, Beo.

[SirBeowulf]

Well.... your face is inefficient!

Yooooooo I probably should've finished this about a week ago, but here it is:

Name: Vanessa Hills

Gender: Female

Age: 43

Appearance: Vanessa stands at a mere 5'3". She is a wide woman with brown skin and thick, dark hair that is difficult to manage. As a result, she keeps it relatively short and often has it tied back. Despite her age, she has a young-looking face with lively, dark brown eyes and nearly flawless skin. On the left side of her bottom lip, there are two sliver rings, similar to the graphite-colored one on the cartilage of her right ear. She enjoys wearing jewelry, but most of it is fake due to her low income. In addition to the jewelry previously mentioned, she is also wearing small, square earring studs that are meant to seem like diamond, along with a matching necklace that is much larger than it has to be.

In regards to clothing, she tends to wear over-sized dresses with unappealing patterns and a pair of over-worn sandals.

Personality: Vanessa is very independent and brave, but sometimes to an extent that gets her into trouble. She's curious and a natural leader, but her decisions are rarely thought through, and she has a bad temper. Although she is 43 years old, she has never been married, to the contrary of what most would assume. She feels no need to have a partner, as she worries it would restrict her freedom. While Vanessa has low endurance pertaining to exercise, she is very strong. Even in dangerous situations, she displays remarkable bravery, and motivation even when confronted with hopelessness. She is very open with people, familiar or not, and she has a loud personality.

A Brief History: Vanessa was born to Eden and Dale Hills, a schizophrenic mother and a persistent father. When she was 9, her parents got divorced. Dale could no longer tolerate Eden's irresponsible behavior and volatile personality, both of which could have been better controlled if she hadn't refuse to get the help she needed.

After the divorce, Dale gained custody of Vanessa. As a single-father family, life was difficult for the two. Dale was a plumber, but it was difficult to work when he had to care for Vanessa. He never did remarry. Dale would have a girlfriend every-so-often, but they never lasted long.

Vanessa managed to graduate high school with average grades in every subject except math, where she excelled. She was clueless about what she wanted to do in her future, and she wasn't even certain if she wanted to pursue a career at all. The highest level of her education is one year at community college, where she studied art and accounting.

As an adult, Vanessa lives in an apartment in New York City-the same apartment she's been living in for years. She doesn't make much money since she works at a fast food restaurant, but she manages to pay her expenses by making some extra money playing the guitar at various places.

Anything Else: Vanessa is an only child.

Oh. Hey. And yes, you should have finished it a week ago. Hoho.

Axe-cepted, you can go ahead and post.

[Wayne]

I've been struggling with a withdrawal from risperidone lately, and I've been having episodes of psychosis. I don't think I'll be able to be in this RP any longer, so I'll sadly have to drop.

Discontent, do whatever the hell you'd like with Thomas. I'll only go completely over the top with him, and I don't want to be responsible for the RP Guild losing Adsense.

[Discontent]

I'm sorry to hear that, Wayne. I hope you feel better soon.

As for playing Thomas, I don't really like the idea of two of the characters that I control being 'partners'. I think that's... really, really boring. I'd be roleplaying with myself. I've also never liked the idea of controlling another person's character.

I'll do it if I have to, but I'd like first ask if anyone else would be interested in controlling him.

[WittyReference]

I'd consider if I didn't already have two in the chamber. Any more and I'm just asking to shoot myself in the foot.

[Discontent]

Yeah, not wanting to control 3 characters is another one of my reasons.

[SirBeowulf]

That is very saddening.

[Demensia]

in any case we need posts!

Yeah, Beo!

WittyReference said
Yeah, Beo!

Post, then! I'll add the other recording to my post as well, since you want it.

[Discontent]

Looking at everything, Beo, it seems like you just really need to post the other recordings before anyone else posts.

Don't be lazy, dear GM.

There we are! Such a kind and reasonable man, this Beo. Quite glad he's running the show, I am.

[WittyReference]

While you're getting the other cards typed up I had a question about what exactly Rahj found. From the word 'Gauntlet' I figured some sort of spiked finger Freddy Kruger thing but the three long blades would be more in line with a Bushido claw type deal. Which did you have in mind?

[SirBeowulf]

More of a Bushido claw.

[WittyReference]

Thank y'sir.

[SirBeowulf]

Sorry for not adding the recordings, I've been waiting for Discontent to discuss some of it, but he hasn't been on as of late. In the mean time, those of you that can post, go ahead.
