If you feel like you need help no shame in going out there and getting it. Take care of yourself.

I think you can develop a flair. A personal style. Words and phrases you like. That's why I don't get using Grammarly for word suggestions.

Birth Name:James Howlett

Codename: Wolverine/Logan/Patch/Weapon X

Age: 80+ Estimated

Gender: Male

Appearance: Subject is 5'3 and 300 pounds. Much of this weight being derived from his Adamantium skeleton. Short, well-muscled, hairy, often angry. Long hair and sideburns make subject stick out but when subject shaves those away it can be difficult to track visually.

Personality:
Subject is resolutely resistant to controls. Responds well to leadership and mentor roles but resists any longer term assignments which would include schedules and limit ability to travel. Subject responds poorly to authority. Subject questions orders publicly, disobeys order, dresses down subordinates and superiors, and will occasionally walk away from posts and duties without a word of explanation. Often into the wilderness, definite preference for Canadian wilderness.

Subject seems to desire company of others yet often will depart from that company to go dwell alone for extended periods of time or seek new company. Subject displays great long-term loyalty but poor short-term loyalty. Often best method of re-acquiring subject is to acquire those associated with subject and provide a trail of crumbs. Such actions require authorization from the highest levels due to inherent high level of risk entailed.

When acquired can be controlled for short stints of time through combination use of carefully controlled substance exposure and psychic or other mental blocks or insertions. Subject has built up resistance to these methods due to repeated exposures and proximity to Subject Charles Xavier. Reference Weapon Series and Cross Reference to World Wars, Vietnam War, Iraq War, further cross reference suggestions available from Level 4 Supervisors.

Extra/Notes:
I particularly like two versions of Wolverine. The street level vigilante bits where he is chasing down murderers and kidnappers and human traffickers and that sort of stuff OR the stuff where he is acting as more of a mentor and less of a weapon to be used. My intention at least, if I can stay on point, is to sort of combine the two. This version of Logan is tired of being used. Tired of the people he puts his faith in turning out to be monsters. Professor X and Hydra/SHIELD in particular. I have a particular interest in the concepts of mortality and what eternal or wildly elongated life would mean in practice. So yeah.



History:
Spent a lot of time staring into that abyss. Sometimes wasn't the only one looking through my eyes. France, Germany, Africa, Japan, Viet-fuckin-nam, Madripoor, Mexico, good old US of A, Canada of course. Shed blood all over the world, bled a lot of it too. Seen all manner of cruelty and evil, come to the conclusion it, Evil, ain't some alien thing from Hell that reaches out to us every few decades. It's a thing that lives in all of us, some more than others. God knows I've got enough of it in me. Ol' Kurt Wagner taught me plenty 'bout that.

Stare into that abyss and it stares back at you. Me and it we old friends. Very old. Ain't no spring chicken anymore. Body still is, but the shit takes its toll. Wonder sometimes how we do it. How we keep on pushing year after year, decade after decade. More than a few of us been doing this for generations now. Run into folk I've been friends with or enemies ta or both for longer than most folk get to live. Plenty of folk tried to help or tried to stand in my way. I took plenty of their lives, those that tried to stop me, and just me being me ended up getting plenty of them that tried to help me dead. Plenty more of them just wilted, like people do eventually. It's like them Kansas fellas said, Dust in the Wind.

I can't see myself just sitting by while bad things happen. Not in me. But maybe I can stop being such a damn ass about things. Stop running out on friends first sign of them caring a little too much. Got kids to think about, them that don't hate me and ain't tried to kill me at least. I can hope for redemption for them that do want to kill me too can't I? Nothing says I can't. Maybe this old dog can learn a new trick. Maybe this short hairy mutt can even make up for the dark old days.
That should be fine.

Trying to find a mate would likely be a pretty common thing at a big gathering during this time period. I definitely am not a fan of the Mary Sue/Gary Stu self insert kind of thing, but that's usually a part of developing.

That's part of why I usually make characters quite unlike myself, makes it harder to identify with them and easier to see them as sort of a creation rather than like an avatar.

I'll work on getting an OP up today and fleshing out the factions a little. They do all have some interesting history but if none of them strike your fancy you could always say So and So traveled here from a far off land. So long as it's not too goofy
I've been thinking about characters and wanted to run a few by you.

Rage from New Warriors, although reworked as a Super Soldier rather than Toxic Waste exposure

The Golden Dragon, as a pastiche of the Iron Fist gang and the Bronze Tiger character from DC (a Richard Dragon ally/enemy)

Wolverine (because goddam if I don't love me some Wolveriner)
I'd generally prefer IRL but you can use an anime one if you've got one you really like.

I'll start work on an OP for the actual RP shortly.

Largely the same thing but I'll reference the wiki and try to provide a bit more history for the factions and short notes for some of the smaller factions in case anyone wants to be a raider or bandit group or something but needs a little inspiration


Name: Malva

Guild RP/Other RP: A story I had planned out pretty thoroughly with TyrannosaurusRex before he left.

Background: When she was quite young a pair of greedy violent all around just shitty people came upon her family home in the hills of Sauerabfel. Her parents showed them hospitality and allowed them to sleep in their living room (the only room a normal human could comfortably sleep) under as many spare blankets as they could gather. Their kindness was repaid with murder and an attempt to do something arguably worse. In the ensuing scuffle Malva froze up in panic, her father was killed trying to defend her mother, her mother was badly beaten after coming back at them with a heavy pan, and shortly after the cowardly humans fled her older brother took off to hunt the men down. His bravery and quest became well known in the small town.

In time, and with some encouragement from her mother, Malva grew up under the shadow of that day and of her brother and decided she would go out and find him. Record his adventurings and acts of heroism, help him find the men who killed her father if they still lived, and atone for her failing to act that night and

Other: Simple Halfling Adventuring Clothing, Drawstring Bag filled with papers and charcoal pencils, a few pieces of silver rattling about in the bottom of the bag.

Initial Post


"Ruins near here," a small soft voice spoke from a spot under the stairs up to the bedrooms.

"Shouldn't be, haven't any on my maps and my maps are the best in the land...unless maybe...hmmm."

A small plain but pleasant Halfling gets up from where she had been quietly sitting, writing in a notebook and referencing a fold out map she now folded back up and tucked into a simple drawstring backpack. Standing at her full height she is still rather short, perhaps half the height of a normal human. That is likely where the term Halfling came from. Her hair is brownish red, roughly shoulder length, roughly cut, and quite messy. Poorly held back in a ponytail. She is dressed as most Halflings usually are in simple browns and greens and has the standard symbol of Yondalla necklace hanging around her neck. A cornucopia against a green shield.

"I'll go along then yes," she phrased it as a question but meant it as a statement, "Won't hardly notice I'm here, few do."

She trotted up to the bar and placed her bag up atop it for the bartender to keep safe. Precious drawings, maps, studies, naughty little limericks that might get her a meal or a mate in whatever town she found herself in next.

"I'm Malva," she introduced herself walking up amid the group, "I'm quite small, as you may have noticed, so I'm not all that much good in a tiff but I'm pretty quick on my feet and I'm a fast thinker. Don't survive out in the wilds at my size if you aint. Alls I want to do is tag along with you all. Write about what we see, work on my maps, come back here and have a drink and a meal with you fine folks and be on my way. You can keep the gold I just want the experience."
What is your stance in regard to Halflings?

Fandom RPs are a lot more numerous around here but every once in a while someone posts a completely original one.
It was the writer who left this site. We had a whole story planned out for our characters but stuff happened and he didn't want to be here anymore.

I do like the idea though of either having a send off for characters you never really got to the end of a story with or just want to revisit.
