Appearance:

Margarette has extremely beautiful features. Wild black hair that flows in big curls around her face. She has deep green eyes and a smile adorned with dimples that could take a man for all he's worth. Soft and radiant skin, voluptuous curves and a taunt body. Y'Vanna is extremely fit and athletic and fairly tall. She also has a certain grace to her gait and movements, all very calculated, but seamless and effortless in appearance.

Background:

Maggie comes from a port city called Avondy'llac, which is located in the southern most regions of the Lands of the Nine. Her father was a merchant and skiff sailor there in Avondyllac, and he was murdered when she was 17. He was rather keen on gambling and his debts had finally caught up with him, costing his life. She was also taken, kidnapped as means to compensate for the loss and she was used most accordingly. Repeatedly beaten and raped for nearly a full cycle.. Days turned to weeks, weeks to months.. She was eventually incorporated into a brothel under this same racket's thumb and was made to work as a prostitute for the remainder of her days. Having been hardened like a wooden stake by flame, and as sharp as blades that had tasted her flesh, had devised a plot with a wooed client. It was a rushed and hurried affair, but somehow she and her accomplice had managed to pull it off.

She had no home, or no one left to hold her there so she decided to take up with a band of pirating sailor merchants who were a vivid and vibrant bunch. They took her under their sails and mentored her in every possible aspect they could, and they were very honorable by her. She would use these new talents to develop and refine incite her own voracity and would one day plan to use these skills to get her revenge . She soon became quite the duelist, and an avid lover of the sails and seas. She remained with them for the better part of a decade before she was caught and charged with multiple acts of piracy, and was incarcerated and branded, but she managed a hasty escape which has brought her to the area some 3 years prior.

Mag is an opportunist to the fullest extent of the term.. Aye, she may be a mercenary and a thief but she is an honorable one, if there's any to be had amongst the likes. She is very loyal and protective to those she considers close, and often by morality will take up for those who cannot fend for themselves. She is extremely hard on herself, and judgmental to a fault, though she is anything but lenient to those who oppose her. She is extremely smart, and her charisma and charm are devastating. Because of her "pleasant traits & assets" she can be highly manipulative, getting what she wants quite often from the opposite sex, and sometimes even her own. Making any sort of eye contact should be avoided, if at all possible.

Thanks! I'll work on my CS tonight. Going with a Swashbuckler- Rogue/Thief and I should have it done by lunch tomorrow if not tonight. I have to go see to my battlefield 4 platoon for a bit though as well but I do have a 3 day weekend so.

The Saltaire District

Thanks @Lord Orgasmo. Im just getting in from work and its 10 but Ill have a character by tomorrow evening (US Eastern) for sure, and a post if I get the okay.. I can go ahead and tell you my character will be a female, mostly like a swashbuckler/sea faring flintlock pistolero rogue/thief, reputable of course.. After all, it takes a thief to know one..

[Is there a better class that Im not aware of? Im 38 and Ive been roleplaying for 2/3 of my life.. haven't looked at a rule book in ages. Im mostly creative literature..

Here is a link to my writing style and how much I put intomy own campaign stuff.. I also have maya 3d and I like to make visual aids when I can.

Thanks.

NCQuest - A Mecha RP: The Defense of Darwin (BeeNCQuest)

Hey @Letter Bee I was thinking about adding a current gear list under my collapsed CS in the characters thread to keep up with my personal gear and ammunitions. This seems as though it'd be a good way to keep up with all of that at a quick glance. Also, how are we going to go about acquiring more ammo, is there a payment system or quartermaster, a rationed amount, etc.?

Maggie -

Water blasted down from the shower head. Possibly the best thing about the base in Haven was the water pressure, she thought.. The water was piping hot as it fell from her hair, trickling down her face and dripping from her chin. Her hands were posted up on the permacrete walls of the stall and her head fell between her shoulders. She let the water fall upon her, as if to wash some imagined stench, a stain of battle from herself. She stayed like that for a while, lost in her memories. She liked to replay memory clips in her retinal HUD system, afforded her when she lost an eye in combat during her second infantry term. She liked to do this while she bathed, or anytime she had a spare moment to do so. She also remembered from them that repetition is the real reaper of rewards, and that proper planning prevented piss poor performance. The water suddenly stops and the GC is heard hailing the 1st International Volunteer Battalion to OP. Her head sank lower as the last of the water had its last bout with gravity, and lost as it always does.. She stood and ran her hands over both shoulders and down to the elbows to swat away the last of water. Her fingers traversing the contours of her Reflexx terminals and scars alike, and she had plenty of both. She pulled herself from the stall as she passed through the latrine, cutting through the thick steam as she passed. It was thick enough to make breathing labored, and the water was so scalding that her skin was nearly red. She swiped a towel from the rack and threw it around her waste haphazardly, pinning it steady with one hand. She made her way down the barracks the short distance to her room, automated door closing behind her.

"End data log 473" she sad, closing the video in her HUD while she began to dress herself. What am I even doing here?? she thought to herself.. International VOLUNTEER Battalion.. exactly that.. she thought. Then she threw on a sports bra top, rubbing the towel across the back of her neck and threw it in her dirty bin. She swiped the hex key from her desk and placed it in her left elbow terminal. She turned it until it clicked twice, making a minor adjustment before heading to the OP.

Water still beaded on her skin as she made her way in to the Operations room for the briefing. She was one of the first to arrive, taking a seat midway through the room. She fiddled with her hex key until the GC began his briefing. She didn't turn to acknowledge the other pilots as they filtered in. She would silently initiate a record order for her HUD to record the briefing. She had not always done this, but it became habit as she had accumulated several instances where the need had arose and she was behind lines with zero in the way of COMMS.. Having done so she found the readily available information was invaluable, on occasion.. She would take special interest in the image of this man- "This is Osamu Akiyama, an artificial human built by Red-Star, much like our recent defector," taking a snapshot of his image. She also took a special interest in the mention of a defector? Soft overtones of "be prepared to shoot each other down - non-fatally, of course." which caused her interest to peak, and her tongue slid across the contours of her teeth drunk with intrigue...

She didn't speak out during the briefing, nor did she turn when the other pilots did. She was a bit surprised at the timing of this suggested rendezvous for a drink.. her talents could be better utilized given the current situation, but then again, she liked shotty odds so perhaps they did have time. She half agreed with Isaac, being perfectly content with the thought of being intoxicated during battle..
