[OOC] The Day the Earth Fell |Reboot| Welcome to Paradise

[VioletRose]

He may be going down soon
He's been cuddling with me for a few minutes now. Lol

[pyroman]

[VioletRose]

OH MY GOSH!

[VioletRose]

I AM SO VERY VERY HAPPY THAT YOU'RE BACK!

Also, I'm negotiating bedtime with a 2 year old.
"Naunie, I no sleep. My eyes hurts."
"Cause you're tired, buddy."
"Oh no, I no tired. I need stay awake, okay? I stay awake, okay. I go play now. Bye bye Naunie."

Now he's having another melt down.
xD

[pyroman]

It's good to be back. It's just so... nostalgic. Man, Metronome, you guys. I'm getting all fuzzy from the memories. I still have the first one bookmarked!

[VioletRose]

@pyroman
I understand what you mean completely!
I was really hoping to get everyone (or mostly) back and start all over again.

[pyroman]

@VioletRosefrom what I've ready up on, it's been five years since the rather eventful few days of Part One? I'd love to put Marcus back up there, but my only problem is Blox and Shay. Shay isn't my character, and she was pretty close to Marcus, so I'll have to do some toe-stepping in that regard. Even more so considering that her last post was on Part One of this shindig, and unless they got a new account and I'm not aware of it, has been off the guild radar since.

[VioletRose]

@pyroman
We're just going to go under the assumption that they are either dead or missing.
So for now, we haven't seen them for a few years.

[pyroman]

@VioletRoseGot it.

It'll be interesting. I was planning on sleeping after a long day, but this has me all fired up now. I'll get to working on a new CS.

@pyroman

OMG!!! I keep saying this. And Exit said it too. I also have the first one bookmarked and i would always come back to it from time to time cause it was just sooooo good!!!!

[VioletRose]

@pyroman
Glad to have you back!

@Angel Eyes
That's freaking amazing.
Everybody has real photos but me...
Wanna help me find ones for Ravenia and Tank? Haha

[Angel Eyes]

@Pyroman Yes! I cant wait to see what character u make!

@VioletRose
ROFL! Sure I can help you. And im glad u like it. You should put it in ur second post of the ooc like u did last time.

Also, I immediately thought of Moon Bloodgood when u asked me to find a real life version of Ravenia


What do you think?

Also, what does Tank look like again? Give me a very general description so I can find something that could match.

[VioletRose]

Not a fan of that picture.
I think I may have one that I like.
Post it in a bit.

Tank is a huge guy. 6'7". Broad shoulders, pretty muscular. Light brown/dark blonde hair. The scruffier the better.

[VioletRose]

[VioletRose]

It's the tattoos that I like mostly.
xD

A little too seductive but I don't mind it too much.
I want something a little more rugged looking.

Marcus The Machinist

:.Born As.:

Marcus Halloway

:.What You See.:

"From the rise of the sun to... the rise of the next sun, I work to keep the city safe."

_{A general description of the character goes here. 1-3 paragraphs. Height, Weight, Describing things we can't see in the picture. Scars, Piercings, Tattoos, etc.}

:.Also Known As.:

The Gate Keeper
The Experiment
The Machinist

:.Appear To Be.:

Thirty Two

:.The Doctor Said.:

Male

:.I Swing Towards.:

Women with beating hearts

:.People Say.:

Marcus can be quite stubborn at times, and is known to but heads with people on several occasions. He dislikes it when people believe that they know more about technology than he does, and tries to make them back up their words when people say that they know more than he does. He wants only the best for people, and is willing to do everything in his power to try to move things back to the way they used to be long ago.

He's seen more than he wanted to, and lost more than that, but he continues every day as stubbornly as the one before.

:.What I Like To Do.:

There is no spare time for Marcus. He works day in and day out on the wall and the overall safety of the city, whether it be the wall itself, the vehicles, guns, armor, or anything else. The sunrise and sunset seem to be the only times in which he isn't working himself, and are usually when he passes out from exhaustion before getting right back to it.

:.Profession.:

Marcus is the aptly named Gatekeeper, the keeper of the gate and the monitor of the walls. Due to his special knowledge and abilities, Marcus also works on other things for the people, fixing what needs to be fixed and improving on what can be improved upon.

:.The Past Was.:

Marcus was born when his father and mother were traveling a fair distance from the Paradise Land. His parents were wanders who picked up whatever scraps they could and moved on. They had not anticipated his birth, and despite their thoughts, they kept him with them in their travels. Although their lives were much more difficult with a growing child, they did their best to help him, even if it meant that couldn't help themselves.

As the years passed, Marcus and his parents were attacked by a rather large group of wanders, wanting what they had and not feeling like leaving anyone alive. The group had meant to kill all three of them, but Marcus remained alive. He traveled for days on end with anything the other group had decided not to take. The young boy barely survived, but he learned from his late parents to take anything and everything available. He traveled far, but eventually he came to a stop. Another group of wandering bandits attacked him and let him go with an inch of his life, when he was found by someone who he later called his second father. The man took him to the Paradise Land and patched him up, using whatever technology he could to give the teen a working body.

He had never discovered his control over metal until after he reached his new home, and by then he was already adept with technology. His control over metal helped him work on his damaged body, and the only time he was more thankful than learning about his powers was when his second father saved him. Following that day, he worked on both his technological skills as well as his metalworking skills, hoping to one day become good enough with both of them to start helping people.

Five years since then, Marcus lives his life in near silence, doing the work that needs to be done and filling his life with more work whenever possible.

:.The Proud.:

Blessed one

:.A Glorious Gift.:

Metal manipulation, not to be confused with Magnetic Manipulation. Using his mind, will, and movements of his body, Marcus can bend metal to his will. Over the years, it has gotten even stronger, but even Marcus has his limits. Certain metals are harder to control than others, and due to how his arm functions, he is always using his ability to move his arm, even though is seems nearly completely natural now.

Incredible talent for Metalworking and technology.

:.What I Have On Me.:

(Equipment and weapons your character uses.)

:.Who I Know.:

(Your relations to the other characters. )

• Ravenia - Has known for most of his life, and has always served her as the gatekeeper and a faithful confidant.
• Item B
• Item C

:.Blood.:

(Your character's family members. Alive and/or Deceased)

• Issac Halloway (Father, deceased)
• Naomi Chow (Mother, deceased)
• Shay (Unknown)

:.Behind The Scenes.:

Marcus's left arm is entirely made of metal, from pieces in his shoulder to the tips of his steel fingers. His shoulder blade, shoulder, and even parts of his ribs and collar are metal as well. Even biological organs were replaced by mechanical ones, blurring the line between man and machine.

[VioletRose]

@pyroman
Accepted!

[VioletRose]

Option 2

I like that this is not so seductive, a little forlorn.

[VioletRose]

Welp. Went with option two.

Just need Tank now.
