[Metronome]

[Embrz]

For clarification, Nicole just developed an unhealthy obsession for Eros. My apologies if she had plans tonight...

[shivershiver]

Whew, posted. I decided to throw in a couple of new technologies since it is the future and all, even if it is a slum. If anyone has any problems with the stuff I make up, just lemme know and I'll gladly change it! Also, would it be a good idea to add a list of gadgets and tech crap we make up and add it to the front page so there isn't any confusion? I know I'll have a hard time keeping up with everything.

I liked the tracker idea, I needed a reason why the guns wouldn't be super advanced :p

Hey Metronome, i've been thinking. Would it be okay if I create a 4th gang that is allied with yours against the other two? That way we'll have a 2-on-2 battle for power instead of a 2-on-1, which honestly dosen'y seem very okay to me.

[Metronome]

I'd rather not. Is there any particular reason you wanted to make another one? You can PM me if you want.

Name: Carlos Diaz "Iceman"
Age: 34
Gender: Male

Sexuality: Heterosexual
Race: Chilean-American
Position: Hitman for the TI-32 gang

Personality: Despite his line of work Carlos is a very respectful, calm and open-minded person. At the same time, when the gang orders him to eliminate someone, Carlos becomes a ruthless killer that shoots first and asks questions later. He is a gentleman when it comes to women and has the charm that all latin-americans do. Carlos has proven to be able to maintain his calm even under the most stressfull situations, which is why he earned the nickname Iceman.

Appearance:


History: Carlos was born in Calson City. His parents were chilean imigrants that came to the Unites States from Santiago, the capital of Chile. With his father a chef and his mother a teacher, Carlos and his family lived a fairly decent life. He was fascinated by fighting ever since an early age and as a teenager he took mixed martial arts lessons, feeding that passion. After going through high school and university, Carlos found work as a bodyguard, working for celebrities, rich people, politicians and others that could afford protection. After 6 years in the bodyguard business, Carlos became a favorite, many requesting his services. At the age of 27, disaster struck in Carlos's life after the people he was protecting at the time, some rich guy and his wife, were killed by some unknown attackers in a car. Carlos himself was injured at his left leg and spent a couple of days in the hospital.

After that incident no one wanted to hire him anymore, although it wasn't really his fault that those people died. Carlos started looking for work anywhere but he was unsuccessfull. Like those things weren't bad enough he also lost his apartment because he couldn't afford paying taxes anymore. Desperately wanting money, Carlos made a deal with a drug dealer and agreed to sell drugs for the guy in exchange for money. However that lasted only 3 months because afterwards the dealer was caught by the police, and although Carlos managed to avoid the authorities for 2 weeks he was arrested as well. He as sentenced to 5 years in jail plus a fine. During the time spent in jail, Carlos lost his parents. After getting out of prison Carlos found himself with nothing and nobody to rely on. He had to restart his life, do everything all over again. He moved in the slums, where he lives in one of the crappy apartments he found there. He also found work as a hitman for the TI-32 gang. Of course he had to prove himself first, which Carlos did very well.

Other:
- Trained in mixed martial arts;
- Speaks perfect english, with his latin accent barely noticeable;
- Plays the guitar very well;
- Loves cats and seeks to own one;
- Carlos is a huge NASCAR fan and never misses a race.

She didn't, and if she did she'd probably change them in favor of Nicole, I think they're going to have an interesting relationship. ^_^

[salamimike]

I felt like I needed to bring this up.

He pulled his phone out and checked the time: 8:00 PM.

Considering it's night, no surprise. No-one is out at night.

It was time for an evening adventure

"It's too goddamn early in the morning for this shit." John muttered to himself

Now as the GM put that it was 8pm I am going to guess that that is the actual time, or at least around that.
If so some of these wouldn't make any sense...
Are we working on different timelines?

[Sixx]

Sixx said It was time for an evening adventure

To me, 8pm is evening, late evening, but still evening.

Also:

I think (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here), that this one isn't time relative/specific. When Emrbz says 'day', it could just mean within that 24 hours, as in, that's all the food she'll have for the next 24 hours?

That's my two cents, anyway. But yeah, some of them don't make great sense, or they're just running different timelines.

Some where fine and made sense. Including yours.
The main ones where.

Thank ya! It was just my way of making an excuse so I wouldn't have to describe new futuristic guns :D

Hey, I can't help it that Nicole is cruisin for a bruisin!

[salamimike]

Any chance people who have gangs could give us some info on them? I wouldn't mind knowing what their views on dealing in the areas are.
And if any buy from any other characters? ( John "Lab Rat" Salsades, Flint White etc.)
And just anything that might help other role-play in specific gang areas.
Not forcing just wondering :p

Metronome said
. As Dylan lumbered by, the noise and lights of a pub caught his attention

Is this the pub Renton owns that Flint is in?

[Metronome]

It is
