[OOC] Post-Cataclysmic Earth

[aladdin_sane]

A Katana Sword and Sheath stolen from a novelty Shop. He sharpened the blade.

@Jasonhero

It it is not a problem that your character knows how to use a sword, but would sharpening a novelty "for show" katana just be a waste of time? The cheap stainless steel making up the blade is produced to retain the shine and prevent rust; they do not hold edge well and would probably shatter on impact after a strong swing. To me it would make more sense for your character to find a vintage real katana in an abandoned thrift shop and fix that up.

Here's hoping that more people post their character sheets.

[merrrrideth]

Were you planning on using the character thread/tab? I don't know about everyone else, but I'd really enjoy having all of "our" beautiful faces in one place for quicker reference. :)

@merrrrideth

I am actually, was just waiting to see if anyone had any negative opinion's of my own Character sheet XD

[aladdin_sane]

Not GM, but your character sheet looks pretty good @merrrrideth I would just add an equipment list; does not have to be expansive, but should at least consist of what your character is carrying at the time of the incident. While, I like the vagueness of your powers and the embracement of the discovery aspect make sure not to go crazy with the amount of powers she ends up getting.

[Shoryu]

Character's tab is open now. IC should be open in an hour or 2.

Edit: Unless I get interrupted...

@Shoryu

There are some pretty close to the entrance. Also, he could have stolen it from a Park Ranger storehouse. Like most police units they have a SWAT Team and those rifles are popular with snipers for being able to shoot out windows or take out car drivers and whatnot.

Or ya know, it's possible a piece of Earth which had a Gunstore on it landed nearby him when it was put back together haphazardly.

@aladdin_sane I did the novelty thing because I figured a real one would bother people. If y'all are cool with him finding a legitmate one I'd totally change that so be had it xD

@Jasonhero

There's still the question of 'when' he stole them xD This Cataclysm came on suddenly and the RP will be beginning within 'hours' of when everything settled back into place, so he'll have to have stolen it beforehand, or in the first hours after it all was pulled back together, the latter option leaving little time to stop and sharpen it.

And this 'pulling back together' was not gentle, if there was a chunk small enough to only have a gun-store on it, it will have shattered on landing, so that situation would either make him have to scour through rubble or finding them scattered allover the general area around it. Which... just struck me as the perfect bullshittery to fulfill that cliche that's in some post-apocalyptic 'games' where you can find weapons and stuff just bloody 'everywhere'. Of course, if guns were raining from the sky because a gun-store shattered like a pinata, it's more likely to be 'pieces' of, or broken guns people would find laying around XD

Personally, I like when there is plenty of room for a character or their equipment to be improved over-time. So, a 'fake sword that's sharpened' seems totally fine, maybe he'll find or someone'll 'make' a real one later. Or hell, maybe he'll find someone 'with' a real one who can't use it!

Just to note, I'm not against your weaponry so far, or the sniping bit XD It'll be interesting to see what happens over-time... Hopefully it won't lead to a 'Nether' moment. If you know what I'm referring to then you win the internets.

[JessieTargaryen]

@Shoryuunfortunately it looks like I didn't win the internets. I have no idea what that is. XD.

Anyways, he would've taken then after. And I'll keep the crap sword until he finds/somebody makes one/He takes it cause somebody else sucked with it for a real one

@Jasonhero

Then it sounds like you'll need to start somewhere on the edge of the part where you mentioned the novelty shops were, they'd probably have some ranger stations in the same area, so I suppose it's believable XD

Unfortunately, the map I have doesn't clarify locations with enough information to tell me where such shops actually 'are', so you'll probably have to clarify that point yourself.

[oakman]

...shared history...

@aladdin_sane

That actually sounds like something that would have happened between the two. It is only logical that because they both grew up in the same city and same upper class circles that they would bump into each other. I am all in for what you have suggested, but I will throw in the fact that Nathan would, too, forget his encounter with Pierre for added dramatic value. Maybe there are some more recent interactions, perhaps a sarcastic battle of subtle comebacks at some gala or fundraising event in Manhattan.

Also I like this new image better, looks more Pierre Athene and more manipulative.

[Shoryu]

I like pierre's new picture too! It makes me want to punch him without even knowing him!

Also, sorry for the delay, I hate predicting accurately that I'll be interrupted mid-post.

on a side note, I'm half done now, and feeling torn between the idea of using 'Psuedo first person'['I/me' but no 'you/your'] like I've never actually done in a 'group' RP yet, or stick with the standard 3rd.

I'm tempted to do 2 versions of the post and see what everyone things clicks better.

@oakman

That would work, nothing wrong with some repressed memories. Lol. Of course our characters would have more frequent interactions; a gala hosted by a mutual acquaintance is a good starting point for "the escalating conflict" between the two as described by the sensationalist media. Two people with a history of animosity towards each other would be apt to engage in a war of the words in a less public setting, therefore periodically throughout the night sarcastic quips, subtle barbs and low-key insults are exchanged between the two culminating in a heated yet reserved confrontation. However, gossip distorted the true events of the evening and portrayed the event as a rather tactless argument; headlines read such nonsense as Et Tu, Brute?: Thumberstock to Athene, "I will f***ing bury you!" or A Hard Night's Fight: Athene assaults Thumberstock...Chief of Police prevents deescalation.

Thanks, the new picture is an improvement; saw the guy in a BBC Herald Sun article and knew he was born to be Pierre.

@aladdin_sane

Oh my god, just looking at him makes me want to slap his shit for some reason! XD

Also, the IC is up.

And as a note, I realize that the actual 'organization' of my post is probably sub-par, this is actually on purpose as a representation of the mental state within the post! or at least I am experimenting with the idea of setting it up that way.

[GloriousSunbutt]

Name: Diane Bright

Occupation: School Teacher [Grade School]

Age: 26

Appearance: Please, do not mind the battle ax.

Items: Button up top, jeans, boots, satchel of pens, pencils, notebooks, and an attendance sheet. First aid kit, survival knife, flares, and flare gun.

Basic Background: Miss Diane Bright, a simple school teacher for a collection of fourth grades(Adorable little tykes, really) won a raffle that her school was putting on. A free trip, all expenses paid, to Yellow Stone Park. The class even got to stay in cabins. It was the chance of a life time for the school teacher, really. Give her kids an experience, and another reason to be called the coolest teacher of Winter Grade School. That was a week before the entire world blew up.

[A little basic, I know, but I've never been big on the huge bios.]

[JessieTargaryen]

Note, I changed Jason's age to 23. Also added a mutation to him which states that his body will become tougher over time. Not something he turns off or one, but when it is finished he can survive three story falls with only some scratches and bruises.

@Jasonhero

I'm guessing you're not intending any of his 'mutations' to actually be physically apparent are ya? XD

and that's fine actually, considering that problems are liable to grow in threat overtime too.

[JessieTargaryen]

@Shoryu Well, I mean it'll be pretty Obvious when his eyes turn red for thermal vision. Or when he starts turning invisible. Or Teleports.
