How is it that I can operate under 3 hours of sleep just fine, but when I'm given a decent 6-8 hours zombie mode is activated?

Bio



I work full time, go to school full time, and whatever time I have off is spent either exercising, eating, reading, watching sports, or rping. This makes for a mundane Algorhythm, but a functioning one no less.

All I did (and if I remember my browsing right, what Algorhythm might have done in one case) is just plug in "steampunk characters" into Google image search


Yeah. It ended up taking more time than usual as I began pulling NPCs instead of making my main lol.

@rocketrobie2 I can't wait to see what you come up with as well! Glad you found a pic that you like for your character.

@Karos Nice work! I like Otto's plague doctor mask look. You can go ahead and put him in the character's tab.




We've got a unique group of characters so far and I like that very much. Thanks for putting in the time to make your sheets. We'll likely start as soon as I accept a couple more. If you're still in the process of making one when we start, don't feel rushed to complete. The intro parts of this RP will make it easy for you to right jump in.

Hope everyone's day is going well. Just saw Batman vs. Superman and don't know how I feel about it lol.
Went ahead and posted a prologue in the IC. Again, no rush for cs, just got inspired to write it up.

Prologue: The Smile of a Childless Heir


600 Years Ago...

Cold was the night, vanquishing the sun and all of its hopeful rays upon a lone, ivory castle. The tired eyes of a weary man stared into the fire pit of his chambers. Oh, how he desired a moment's respite from the madness that possessed him! Every sound was a nuisance to his psyche. The floorboards groaned like yawning hell hounds. The wind echoed through the halls of his kingdom like whispering sirens, murmuring into the darkness of his mind. But above all, an unmistakable noise kept clawing at him. It was distant... muffled, like a feint heartbeat. The man cupped his ears, desperately trying to block it out.

"I beg you, please...STOP!!!" Silence came as demanded, and for a moment, he felt the grace of normalcy once more.


Ahhhhhhhhh...
Ahhh...
Ah...


He clenched his teeth and violently shook his hands. He kicked and screamed, then leaped off of his oaken chair toward the double-doors. He forced them open with all of his might as the flames from the pit bellowed, casting his eerie shadow down the corridor. His boots clanked against the stone floor in a frenzied panic. The castle that was his, a monument to his reign, was a building that he once knew like the back of his hand. But in this moment he knew nothing. All that was certain was that the noise must be dealt with. For the sake of his sanity, it must be silenced! He searched and searched, walking up and down spiral staircases, fishing for the cryptic annoyance that haunted him so. Each turn brought him deeper into a labyrinth, losing all sense of direction with each turn. That godforsaken sound was his only guide. The man began uttering nonsensical things, the language he had spoken all of his life slowly becoming indiscernible, slurred, and cluttered.

"R-rugath...Shrethh..Umayethh" The words rolled off of his tongue like oozing blood. He could feel himself losing all sense of control. Then he heard it. The sound...it was beaming now! Intense as ever, growing louder and louder. He shuffled forward like a drunken fool, hands desperately probing outward into the darkness.


Ahhhhhhhhh...
Ahhh...
Ah...


His hands felt immediate resistance, but he pushed forward, opening steel doors to find an empty room. A lantern in the corner did little to light the small area, but there was no mistaking it: whatever made that sound was here. He entered without hesitation, and as he did, the noise was no more. Silence. Absolute nothingness. Even the sounds of his boots clanking against stone cobbled floors could no longer be heard, but he stepped forward anyway until a feint silhouette came into focus. The dim lighting made the object appear like a shadow until he was just within reach. There stood a black cradle, and within it, a sleeping babe. The newborn was glowing with a radiance that contrasted with the raven painted crib it sat in. It was the most beautiful child he ever laid eyes on.


Ahhhhhhhhh...
Ahhh...
Ah...


"You're the one making all of this racket?" A wave of calm washed over him, reverting the man back to his normal self. He delicately plucked the infant with both hands and cradled it into his arms. "You're a beauty." Overwhelmed with emotion, tears began falling down his cheeks. "What is your name, little one?"


Ahhhhhhhhh...
Ahhh...
Ah...


The man frowned. That sound...no way could it have come from this child. It was asleep in his arms, cooing softly, not making the slightest disturbance. His own question played back into his mind, but the voice was not his. Its tone was much lower, menacing.


What is your name, little one?


The child's eyes shot open, revealing two sickly orbs of putrid amber.


"The Yellow King."


End of Prologue



The following has been added onto the character tab op:

***Beastiary on The Mangled Ones, and the Spirit Wraiths

**Anti-Wraith Equipment

No worries @IceHeart but thanks for letting me know.
@FantasyChic@rocketrobie2 Sweeeeet! Thanks for checking in.
So, several more people have shown interest in joining.

Can I get a roll call to see who is planning on submitting a character sheet? I originally planned for a group of 4, but willing to add on a couple more people.

**Added my main character
*Added a map of Aegis Luna in the OP.

@Tojin head on over to the casual ooc! I originally wanted a small group, but we'll see what we can make happen.


Name: Ezekiel 'Bones' Walters
Age: 34
Gender: Male
Occupation: Police Detective
Investigator Rank: 1st Class

Appearance: Ezekiel is quite pale, almost sickly, (hence the affectionate nickname) but his confident stride and animated blue eyes show a man of purpose. He's rarely seen without a bowler hat that covers a slicked-back pompadour hair style, nor a three piece suit tailored to his wiry musculature. 5'10 and 175 lbs.

Personality: The Aegis Luna-born city slicker is a driven workaholic, the type of man you'd hate going against, but love to have on your side. He possesses an other worldly talent to quickly assess situations and problem solve accordingly. Sly-tongued, but not pretentious like some upper class bureaucrat; years spent working brutal cases on the force saw to that. He exudes a calm, yet predetorial-like demeanor, and is unafraid to break the rules to achieve his goals.

Biography: Ezekiel came roaring out of the police academy with top honors. He worked his way up from beat cop and was promoted to detective within a span of two years. The 53rd Precinct had jurisdiction over most of the outer shell districts of Aegis Luna. The crime activity in these parts were significantly higher than anywhere else. Ezekiel worked various cases involving drug and human trafficking, but the one he is most known for is capturing the Skin Mason. He was a bonafide serial killer, whose MO involved skinning victims alive and then draping said skin around monuments and statues across the city.

There were other obscene cases he worked, but that one always rubbed him the wrong way. What made it worse was that the man was later identified as Harvey Bloom, nephew to Secretary of Defense Anthony Jacobs Bloom. Ezekiel's findings on their relation was met with a lot of scrutiny by his Captain, who wanted to keep that piece of information hidden. Bones was having no part of it, as there were various pieces of evidence during the Skin Mason investigation that hinted at Anthony's involvement. Of course, before Ezekiel could investigate further, the Mangled Ones attacked Main District, putting everything on hold.

He was initially set on reenlisting into the military, but Professor Hartwell convinced him to join The Consortium. The supernatural horrors unfolding within Aegis Luna went against his entire belief system. He felt compelled to join this specialized brigade of do-gooders and put his analytical mind to use in uncovering the truth behind these strange happenings.

Equipment:
-Energy Gun - Pistol Variant
-Lantern
-Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle
-Colt Revolver
-Silver Timepiece
@justTypical Benjamin Moore is accepted! Nice work. You can go ahead and add him to the character's tab.
