[OOC] Withering Dreams of Viel (Steampunk-esque Street Urchin Roleplay)

[Savo]

Specific character story arcs, where we focus on one characters story.

[Daemyn Sterk]

Scratch the part where I said it was getting dark, I'm gonna edit that out.

[Daemyn Sterk]

Bump :p

[The Fated Fallen]

Name: Bill Granger

Gender: M

Age: 14

Personality: Struggles against a violent nature. Although hardy and big, Bill wishes there was a better way then violence and is open to such things. Often assumed to be a dumb grunt but is far from a moron

Appearance: Large, muscular. Ugly and scarred face. Hunched over and perhaps crestfallen. Long double breasted coat with a hidden hammer

Bio: Hired muscle for the Black Rats, the leanest meanest gang in town. When you see him you know there is trouble.
Often seen 'helping at Drydocks' with heavy lifting and 'encouraging' others to leave. The Black Rats is a hell of a mean group for a 14 year old to be around, and Bill wants the first meal ticket out of it, even though he knows it will haunt him

Other: Likes hamsters. Looks up at the palace every day and fantasises of one day feasting there, but that dream slowly withers beneath layers of beatings and hunger

[Daemyn Sterk]

Accepted! I'll add you to the character list :p

[Savo]

Another lamb to the slaughter, heh.

I guess we could say that we have two 'Bills' to pay *bad dum tiss*
I wonder how is the cast going to pay them off, considering their financial situation.
(Ok, it's actually Bill and Billy, but close enough).

Also, where is everyone else? I'm feeling kinda scared right now, I don't want this to-...well I'm not going to say it.

End badly for your character?

Also, why would the others pay them off?

[Completlie]

The "paying bills" thing was a just a pun I made because I was bored.

Also, I was trying to imply "I don't want this RP to die just as it began." (Didn't say it to prevent accidental jinxing) I'm more used to more fast paced RPs, where responses are quick (about less than an hour) Slowed down activity is usually a sign that an RP is going to be abandoned (for me anyway). Usually I just say "Oh, the RP died, time to move on." But here, I'm too in love with the premise that I don't want it to end so soon.

So, yeah.

(I would've posted in the IC except I wanted to maintain my little "post everytime two posts are made after your last post" thing. Just look at how often I post in the IC and that'll make more sense. Hopefully.)

[Daemyn Sterk]

I'll try my very best to make sure that the roleplay stays active and I won't abandon it, really! My character's still lying low a bit after that first little predicament, so I haven't been able to post again. It seems that a few of the players that signed up haven't started yet, but hopefully they'll decide to join in too. If it comes to the worst, we can still try recruiting more and the such. At the moment, you could probably post as much as you'd like, but I'm hoping that the other players that signed up will join in, too. Hmm.

Edit: Perhaps we could plan out a few more things OOC to get our characters to all meet up sooner

[Completlie]

It's not how the characters aren't meeting up sooner, it's the rate of how stuff is being posted both in IC and OOC that bothers me.
Though your post did make me feel a little more reassured. This RP is shaping up to be my new favourite, so...
And I'll screw my little posting pattern, it's posting time! (Though the post itself may be a little on the short side...)

[Daemyn Sterk]

I'm really glad that you're liking the roleplay, and I hope I'm able to make it fun for all of you involved. Yeah, the posting rate hasn't been super fast as of yet, but it's moving at least. I imagine it'll start getting easier when everything gets set up and all that. And we shouldn't worry about the roleplay dying or anything, if there's at least a few of us still interested we could still work things out and figure out a way to find new players. I dunno, but what I'm trying to say is that as long as we don't give up on the idea it'll still be here :)

I've got an idea about this... Psych can post that she heard something, encounter Billy, or it could be the other way around where you could wander around the building and encounter Jinx.

Ceil, and Selena could look for an abandon building and meet up with you two in the building, thus forming a group of four.

The others... Idk, it depends on when they get a post in.

[Voltus_Ventus]

I think my post will ensure my meeting with Billy!

[Savo]

Quick question, do the soldiers have protective headwear?

[Voltus_Ventus]

im assuming so

[Daemyn Sterk]

Generally, yes. Billy could only throw the rock and hit the pilot in the head because during the parade the pilots of the war machines were out in the open So everyone could see, and were in dress uniform.

[Savo]

Gotcha

Also, Comp, your character is going to leave the alley with my character right? I'm just asking because I might make a post that is seemingly controlling your character, even though I'm not trying to control her.

[Daemyn Sterk]

I'll post my response to your post as soon as I get home, Voltus. Can't wait!

[Savo]

Ok, going to get my post in.

Comp, just tell me to change the post if I'm controlling your character a bit too much. I'm just assuming that she's going to follow after the way you posted it.
