[OOC] You Get What You Give

[Qdkowboy]

I was trying to make it less direct but the actor that picture is of is short so fuck it Little John it is if that ain't takin

[rush99999]

It isn't, we're actually waiting for someone to make a Little John character because the maker of this RP says that Little John is essential.

[Jones Sparrow]

Looking for a Little John, his character in my mind would be a second conscience to Robin, him being huge and an awesome fighter, but also seeing a lot of shit and having this sense of what's right and wrong. He'd be one of the first on the Merry Men team, also giving them a stronger connection than the others

[Jones Sparrow]

Won't be able to post anything long at the moment, my Saturday is sadly busy

But I do plan on getting an IC up and if you still want to join, everyone is welcome! I'll also look at all the new CS's once I can!

[Qdkowboy]

I think my character fits that if you're down and I'll be the first to reply to an ic post

[Jones Sparrow]

Awesome!!! I read all of them, and all are accepted!

I'll get an IC up later today so we can start!

[Rowdyruff]

ngl, my characters inspired quite a bit from Felicity Smoak from Arrow
not a fan of the show - but i do enjoy Felicity's character

[Jones Sparrow]

Haha I love arrow! The second season made it a lot better for me hahaha

[Mistress Dizzy]

Name: Jinayah Ifriti
Alias: none yet
Age: 18
Appearance: 5'0, petite, black hair worn short and shaggy. Tends to pass for a young male when it suits her- which is most of the time.



Faction: Merry Men (she hopes)
Occupation: Pickpocket, freelance mechanic, runner
Bio: Jin had a rather normal life until she was about five. Her parents, who worked in the justice system, were killed by a criminal that her detective father put away years ago. Little Jin escaped because the criminal didn't know she existed.

Jin was heavily damaged by the event, and spent the next several years in and out of the foster system.

The loss of her parents made her terrified to connect, which made any potential new families hard pressed to deal with her. When she wasn't struggling through school or staying awake at night, she was between foster homes. The holding house for the foster children was a joke- Jin continued to sneak out over the years. Pickpocketing was easy when she was young, and had tiny hands. Soon enough, she moved onto conning tourists and playing the adorable lost child- an easy distraction for older thieves to work with. They taught her the finer points of lying and quick steals, and Jin felt far more comfortable on the street than in any house. Still, a part of her gripped tight to her faded memories of her parents. Knowing full well stealing was against the law, she tried to make up for it by giving away a portion of her proceeds to younger, hungrier children, those who couldn't make it without help.

She grew into an unsure, androgynous teenager, and managed to barely graduate high school before unceremoniously being dumped from the system after her 18th birthday. Now she's on her own for real, fixing cars and appliances, fixing card games and swiping wallets, and wondering if this is the rest of her life.

Personality: Sharp tongued, slow to trust, energetic, but with a deep (and sometimes illogical) hatred for rich people. Also has a definite geeky side when around cars or devices, like a kid in a candy store, if candy was gears. Seems unsure of herself without the tough street girl personality.
Skills/abilities: Pickpocketing, parkour (though she's never heard the term, what she does is more or less the same), agility, mathematics, mechanics
Family/Loves Ones?: When she lost her parents, she told herself she'd never care for anyone again. So far she's kept that promise.
Other: Apparently in Robin Hood lore, there's always one character for the "Saracen" role. Basically that was the term for Arabian people, or those of dark skin... I guess Jin suits this role.

Alright! Jin is all done and awaiting approval.

Also, the only thing I liked about Arrow was Slade. Mmm... I do love a bad boy. The accent helps. I cared more about the 'bad' guy than the main character. Oliver Queen bored me to tears.

[Rowdyruff]

i didnt like the fact that i never really felt like the villains were unique
wow another corporate bastard that has loads of henchmen or a person that can.. wow.. HIT PEOPLE REALLY WELL!??!?!?

i prefer the flash and gotham by a mile

[Qdkowboy]

I haven't watchedthe flash or Gotham yet but I think I enjoyed the origin inArrow more than anything. I'm ready for ic when y'all are

[Jones Sparrow]

I did not like Oliver the first season, he had that "anakin skywalker" acting thing where he showed little emotion, but I loved him in the second season! I also really loved Barry, and slade was badass!

Never seen flash or Gotham thanks to my schedule, but I really want to!

And your character is accepted!

[Qdkowboy]

T.I. - My Potna [OFFICIAL AUDIO/LYRICS]: http://youtu.be/GD4Krv3V4KM just saying this should be the merry men's theme song

[Mistress Dizzy]

Wow. I listened to about 15 seconds of that song and felt my brain leaking out of my ears.

In other news, Gotham is a really, really freaking good show. I'm pretty sure I have a crush on Fish Mooney. This crush would likely get me killed. But I love bad girls just as much as bad boys.

[rush99999]

I do think the music would make a suitable theme tune for the Merry Men, but as for the lyrics...Well let's just say that guy says 'Pussy nigga' one time too many if you ask me.

[Mistress Dizzy]

-_- Rhyming a word with the same exact word does not make one a poet.

[rush99999]

You can say that again, Dizzy.

[Rowdyruff]

also in regards to my posting
i havent done forum for a long while, but i'll try and write as lengthy posts as i can without rambling on about random nonsense
if you do want me to write more please state in the OOC and i'll try my best to add on to what i've written too!!

[Qdkowboy]

Damn. Hatin. That's the chorus you have no listen past the hook but anyway... Won't post rap again got it ..

[rush99999]

Well to be fair, it was good music.
