Good news, everyone! We're All Going To Die!

[racial ghoul]

We're still waiting for one more, but we can start if you guys want to. Vote here, I guess. I've already made a post in Free, but I'm still polishing up some stuff. We can definitely wing it though, would probably be fun. If you guys vote to start, I'll write the intro and you can start RPing.

wait for final

[Rogue Colm]

*raises hand* one more you say? (didn't read all the icheck posts before submitting interest in the OOC... Whoops)

[Rogue Colm]

Just in case I can join, here's a CS:

Character

Name: Cecelia Sothée
Sex: Female
Age: 19
Personality (optional): Weird medieval-history girl who has trained all throughout middle and high school in what medieval people did.
Some Backstory (optional. You guys should discuss how your characters know each other either IC or OOC):

Strengths (Try to be specific and not choose a lot of wide scope skills e.g. combat. Instead, choose something like brawling, or wrestling, or firearms.)
1. Whittling/carving (because she couldn't buy medieval weapons, so she made them out of wood/sticks)
2. Swords(wo)manship
3. Jousting
4. Medieval times knowledge

Weaknesses (Try to have sensible weaknesses. Having weaknesses doesn't mean it's crippling, but phobias are welcome. Try something like "Sucks at directions" or something solid like "swimming". Yeah, I'm not good at swimming.)
1. Technology use
2. Fear of heights ("No, I'm not afraid of heights. I just have vivid fantasies of me falling from them and don't want them to become reality")

Backpack: One wooden sword (~20" long 'blade') and one wooden dagger (~7" 'blade'), a pocket knife with whetstone, camera, pens with a pocket-sized composition notebook, and a gallon bag (zip-lock bag) filled with "trail mix" (m&m's, skittles, Reece's Pieces, and nerds candies).

[Phantomlink959]

That sounds more like a candy bowl.
When you say medieval, what specifically do you mean? (just curious, I have a friend who went ballistic when i mixed up words once and referred to a combat lance as a jousting lance. she really does do the medieval thing)
Also, would you be interested in having the loony old man be her grandpa?

[Rogue Colm]

@Phantomlink959 I just mean she constantly reads books and such about weapons across the world in the "dark ages" with knights, jousting, swordfights, etc. And if you're referring to your character: hell yeah. That'd give her an even better reason to be interested in weapons.

*your character tries to scare off another person in our group*
me: "Grandpaaaaaa. You didn't get abducted in '95 by aliens. It was the mental hospital trying to check your mental health. _{No wonder your daughter moved across the country...}"

[Castle]

I can see this is going to be a really funny RP with the group of Characters we have

[Phantomlink959]

I never said he thought he was abducted.
This is going to be exactly the kind of insanity I need to prevent me from burning out.

[Rogue Colm]

@Phantomlink959 Sorry, that was just the first thing that came to mind when thinking of "retorts to old man talking about aliens". Just exasperated in general about his "alien" theories as explanation.

@Castle Yup. Looks like an odd bunch'a coconuts! Which is great for a "most of you will 100% die. Maybe everyone."

[Phantomlink959]

I imagine he would be of the opinion that they haven't abducted anyone in decades.

[Castle]

@Rogue Colm at least we will die smiling

[Rogue Colm]

@Phantomlink959 I apologize for stereotyping your character. Still, Cecelia will most definitely be exasperated any/every alien explanation he gives. Most likely will also begrudgingly play along with said theories.

[Phantomlink959]

Nah, the primary version of that character is a stereotpical badass old man vampire(sort of vampire at least. long story) hunter. It is perfectly reasonable to assume the abduction angle, as that is quite common.
Am very much pro begrudging and/or sarcastic agreement with crackpot theories.
Don't expect psychotic rambling though, super serious about it, not the excitable pushpin wall type.

[Rogue Colm]

@Phantomlink959 I'll do it. She will sarcastically add his crackpot theories in the list of possibilities, and even sarcastically throw in more crackpot stuff into his theories (i.e. "and I'm sure they also needed Sasquatch's help to navigate this forest, huh?")

[Phantomlink959]

I like it.
"Sasquatch isn't real, those are just (insert alien type here) in a gorilla suit trying to find (random item) to refuel the ship"

[Rogue Colm]

@Phantomlink959 So I'd guess my character would have been adopted by your character's child (son or daughter, whichever you'd prefer). Now why are just the two of them in this setting?

[Phantomlink959]

He's chaperoning a trip that her and her friends are going on as a favor to them?
(also, why adopted?)

[Phantomlink959]

Should PROBABLY discuss this in the OOC instead of the intchk

[Rogue Colm]

@Phantomlink959 Aye. Probably a good idea.

[racial ghoul]

@Rogue Colm

You're accepted! I like it. A weird but positive contrast with aliens, haha.

Old man's right, we're ready to move this to OOC. I'd love it if you guys move your updated sheets to OOC though. And then when we've decided about your backstories I can start with the first post. OR I wil make a catch all post instead.
