[OOC] La Vie Boheme (Slice-Of-Life/City/'90s)

Thanks.

Alright, my CS is done!

[TheRider]

Jace

Name: Jason 'Jace' Rollins
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Ambiguous
Occupation: Aspiring screen writer and not a half bad bartender.
Apartment Description (If Applicable): (if someone wants Jace as roomie just ask...otherwise if no interest I’ll give him an apartment after I wake up)
Personality:A natural charmer whose ego is often fuelled by either his friend’s critiques on his writing or the person he slept with the night previous, Jace consistently walks a dangerous line between charming confidence and full blown egotism. His workplace does not help this line that he walks, as he is consistently given new things and people to try after his bar closes.

Consistently armed with a sly smile and quick words, Jace can be seen from an outside perspective as a womanising man whore...which isn't too far from the truth at a surface level. His friends that have gotten past that find that he is a closet geek that consistently gets lost in his books and writing, though his passive addictions have more often than not lead him to become reclusive and on the verge of losing his social life and job.

Despite his more than apparent short comings; Jace is a friendly, charismatic person that thrives under the constant pressure of the bar he currently runs with the land owner of the bar currently set up making a new thriving establishment elsewhere in the city. He loves serving the customers of the Lost Drop and is always experimenting with new and different drinks to add to the menu, you’ll more often find him serving up drinks these days and pouring out his signature ‘Rainbow Shots’.

History: Jason was born to an average family and led an average life. Always the ‘creative’ type through his school life, he deemed it unnecessary to continue his education at the age of 17. His parents had always said that Jace would have his own say in life and thus let him into the world to attempt to make something of himself. He bummed around his friends apartments till he found a job. He spent a few years as a barrista, a checkout guy at a super market and the occasional stint as a model for some low traffic clothing brand that died quite quickly after he stopped modelling for them. He likes to think that he could've changed that.
Between all this, Jace still yearned to write. He captured the art of the city and the lost words of the people on the street on his paper and had written manuscripts upon manuscripts of book, plays and movies. He had written comedies that turned tragic at the last second, tragedies that were darkly comic and heart wrenching dramas. At least that’s what he thought they were. It seemed none of them were up to scratch for the current ‘scene’. This wasn't going to stop him from writing.
He decided to learn the art of pouring drinks to help his passion for writing and became fascinated with alcohol and the effects of it on people. He loved the idea of bringing art to drinking. Soon he found himself with a nice apartment and a job at the Lost Drop, which soon exploded in popularity due to the new bar tender serving up interesting drinks with a cheeky smile.

http://fontmeme.com/fonts-by-themes/pick a theme, type what you want in the text box there are many different types of fonts, so you'll have to generate many of them to get the one you want (you can even choose a color and size), make sure you download/save it on to your computer, and upload to someplace like imgur or photobucket you post it here.--- I might end up making a third character

You don't have to download it if you use this way.

It's the same general concept, type in your text, pick the font, colour and size and then drag the font onto a new tab and insert as an image.

After re-watching Rent i hope to god none of our CS' get AIDS.

[DragonBeastMode]

Edit: And if any of you guys chars go to the clubs you could say that you know Corbin from being in the clubs and seeing him DJ, something like that if you want.

Evie could have seen Deb at the video store a few times? It could be situated not too far from her apartment?

Perhaps? Really we should think up some core places where these characters could meet and interact, like the video store ('Video Dungeon', known for it's back room with a wide selection of gore and horror titles) and the record store that Mat works at, or whichever cafe/restaurant/coffee shop any of the characters might work at, places like that.

[Stephanie96]

The bar Jace works at?

[Swarley]

All non-WIP characters are accepted, and all the WIPs are looking good so far. This looks like it's turning out to be a really good RP.

I agree. I know at least my character would spend a lot of time at Video Dungeon, and I'm pretty sure Deb and Corbin would spend a lot of time at the record store (Called "12 Inches, 33 RPM"). And as it looks like a lot of the characters are going to be bartenders, we could probably make one or two bars that they work at that can also be hubs. And with Annie being a waitress at a restaurant that would probably be a hub. Those are the places that characters would find each other in the most. And then other locations can be made up as they are needed by the players.

Frederick will probably spend his free time at home but he will be at Video Dungeon, having a taste of Western films.

[Stephanie96]

Evie and Cari-Anna are simultaneously similar yet very different characters. That's going to be interesting. :)

[ArcanicNeon]

Fun fact about annie: She has no F**king clue how to dance the waltz, but is damn good at the foxtrot.

and I kind of hope that this is like Friends in a comedy sense. But i know jack Sh*t about that type of comedy so yeah...

[EsmetheGreat]

Any chance we could get an exact year and possibly month the rp starts in? So I know what VHS' I'll be pawning? Also so we can respond to events of that year? Like that could be a way to kickoff a sub narrative, like the gm could announce news bulletins '1994, it's a sunny morning in april and you wake up to the news on the radio that Kurt Cobain has been found dead', stuff like that that easily would have created an impact on the artist community, and can help create conflict or even creativity in our characters?

Alright, I'm going to say that it takes place in the winter of 1995 (Jan-Feb, not Nov-Dec), Radiohead has yet to make OK Computer, Richey Edwards has just gone missing, Elliott Smith is still alive and has released his self-titled album, and Richard Linklater has just recently released his third feature: Before Sunrise

And the 90s classic cartoons are still going. Animaniacs, and Pinky and the Brain has just lifted off.

Me Either

[Stephanie96]

How long till the IC goes up, do you think?

[HellOfALife]

Gonna make some image changes to my characters, and add the third one I was planning in, also I changed Theo to a Boxer since that seemed to fit the most as far as what his dream occupation would be. If you see the pictures change don't be alarmed, I'm just trying to get the aesthetic I want for the CS.s >.<
