May You Live in Interesting Times (A Murder Mystery)

Name: Madam Muriel 'Mimi' Deidre Rousseau
Age: "late forties" 57
Companion: Her daughter "Tattie" Tatiana Evangeline Rousseau

Physical Description:

My Hider

Personality:
Muriel is a vivacious older woman with a large personality and loves to be the center of attention. She is loud and gregarious, and can be charming at times and at others appear overbearing, arrogant busybody. She can come off as being selfish and self centered, but she means well and truly does think highly of others and hold them in high regard.

History: Widow of one Beauregard Rousseau, the man had been a consummate bachelor and well into his fifties when he fell to the womanly wiles of his young secretary one Muriel Greenwood. Despite the scandal of being caught in a romance with a significantly younger woman, Beauregard was deeply in love and asked for her hand.
Muriel found herself married into a life of wealth and luxury, and found that it suited her very well. No expense was spared, no trinket to lavish for Beau in his display of his love for her. And when she finally gave him his long desired child, his only daughter Tatiana, he continued to shower them both with affection until the day he died. Which happened near ten years after at the old age of 78 when he finally passed in his sleep.
With Beauregard's will he left the larger portion of his estate to his wife and daughter, so that they would continue to be well taken care of now that he was gone. Although she loved Beau very much Muriel now found herself a wealthy widow at the age of 45, with her young twelve year old daughter at her side... and the attention bestowed upon her had changed significantly. Instead of scandal, people saw opportunity and soon young men were flocking to Muriel's side to shower her with attention, affection, and volunteer to be little Tatiana's father figure.
Muriel has yet to settle down with another man, few men she meets can hold a candle to her Beauregard's cherished memory, but she is also not shy about displaying affection herself and thrives on being in the center of attention. She is also not shy about pushing her wallflower daughter into social situations in hopes that she will meet a fine young man herself. Which is why when she received the invitation to the Acheson Family's Winter Ball in the mail, she lept at the chance to dress up her little girl and take her out for a night of dancing and 'hopefully' romance, not that she's nagging but she wants grandchildren eventually.

Name: Tatiana Evangeline Rousseau
Age: 24
Companion: Her Mother "Mimi" Rousseau

Physical Description:

My Hider

Personality:
Tatiana is a quiet and reserved young lady with a strong independent nature. She does not like public speaking or large crowds, and is very uncomfortable in most of the socialite circles her mother frequents. This not a sign of a lack of self confidence or self worth, as Tatiana is very confident and articulate on a one-on-one basis or in familiar surroundings where she feels comfortable. In such situations she can even prove herself to be quite clever and witty, but she is above all an introvert, and quite a wallflower much to her mother's dismay.

History:
Tatiana was born into a life of love, happiness, wealth and luxury. For how much her parents showered her with love and affection, wanting for nothing, she could have grown up to be a singularly spoiled and bratty child, however that was not the case. Instead Tatiana grew up to be an extremely sweet and timid child, preferring to stay home and pursue quiet indoor play that explored her creativity. She loved to read and paint and play music and was terribly frightened around large crowds which became largely apparent when her mother would try and show off her lovely and talented daughter. Tatiana would become shy and consumed with stage fright that would reduce her to tears when having to endure what would feel like a thousand staring eyes for longer than a few minutes.
Her mother often claimed it to be a phase, and that she would grow out of it in time. She continually pushed Tatiana to take pride in her accomplishments, not understanding that she was already plenty proud and did not need the approval of others to know if she had done well. Still, no matter how she argued her case her mother just could not understand her, fearing her beloved daughter would waste away as a shut in hermitess.
She has since become resigned to her mother trotting her out to some social gathering or another, and trying to foist her off onto some available young man. She has no problem with the men her mother finds for her really, she just does not like being forced into situations where she is uncomfortable and having to 'make nice' with strangers. With the Invitation to the Acheson Family's Winter Ball, Tatiana has braced herself for another tedious mind numbingly boring dance sparse with moments of agonizing anxiety as her mother drags her around to 'mingle'.

Caverns & Critters

@The Roman07 Okay, I'll drag your characters along with mine, but you gotta promise when you get your internet back, you'll pick them up again. Sound good? B)

Escape the Tempest[Closed]

Finally have posted my own characters now too!

Escape the Tempest[Closed]

Servant Character
Name: Anita Morgan
Age: 27
Gender: Female
Occupation: Scullery Maid
Appearance:

Maid Anita Morgan

Personality:
Anita is plain spoken and blunt, almost to the point of rudeness but she is as unfailingly honest as she can be under the circumstances. She has a lot of bitter anger and resentment lingering inside her and is prone to lashing out in her frustration at those who don't deserve it. She apologizes quickly however, and does her best to make up for whatever hurts she causes and holds on to the guilt she feels longer than she probably should. She has a kind heart, but she is stubborn and willful, and she tends to get carried away with her emotions.

History:
Anita lived with her mother and grandfather in the Hackamore Village. Her grandfather was a servant of the Lord Sinclair, and would accompany him on the man's travels. Her childhood was full of love and stories at her grandfather's knee, and memories of the happiness his visits would bring her mother.
Then one summer, when Anita was around her early teens, his visits abruptly stopped. Instead he would send them infrequent letters, cryptic and terse as he insisted that he could not come home, that they should under no circumstances visit him, or attempt to reach him at the Manor. His rare letters did nothing to sooth their concerns, and Anita could not understand why things had changed, why would her beloved grandfather make her mother cry. What had they done to deserve to be shunned like this. After a while, Anita refused to write him any more letters, because the reply was always the same- stubborn and unreasonable. By the time she reached her twenties she was full of resentment for her once beloved grandfather, and when his letters stopped coming she found it to be more of a relief than anything.
Then, after years of silence between them, she sent him one final letter. Mama is dying. Please Come Home.
He didn't. Her mother died of pneumonia that winter, and Anita was left alone to buried her mother.
Angry and grieving, Anita finally decided to do what her mother had always forbidden when she was younger and go up to the Sinclair Mansion to demand an explanation.
She has been there ever since.

Guest Character
Name: Father Marco
Age: 30
Gender: Male
Occupation: Priest
Appearance:

Young Father Marco

Personality:
Marco is an earnest young man. Growing up in an orphanage, he is very thankful for the opportunities he has had in life and optimistic about the future. He is generous towards others, always willing to lend a hand or an ear to strangers and compassionate to their troubles. He tries his best to offer whatever help or comfort he is capable of, but willingly admits that his is naive to the ways of the world and does not have all the answers. He is fresh faced and idealistic, but also passionate about the mysteries of the world both earthly and otherworldly.

History:
Marco grew up in an orphanage run by Sister Adelaide of the Holy Church. She was a kind hearted woman who instilled in him respect, moral virtues and a love for scripture. He joined a boys choir for the church in the city and earned a scholarship to pay for his education when his voice finally broke from his once boyish tenor into a rich and gentle baritone that belies his still boyish face. His college education focused mainly on counseling and delving deep into church philosophy and spirituality, and soon after its completion he joined the Church proper.
He has finally been assigned his own parish, a moderately small village called Kimblewick, which to reach he has had to pass through many small villages. Hackamore was one of the villages he had to pass through, and although he did not stay long, it was long enough to hear rumors and warnings of the Sinclair Manor. He had hoped to pass through the Trammel forest quickly, but was caught in the storm.

@merrrrideth @Mach2 Okay guys, your characters are great except for one small (largish) problem. This game is set more in the late 1800's early 1900's. Cars and Attornies can be a thing, and you're characters can even have had experiances with cars, but they are not really all that common just yet... especially in a small town like Hackamore. Beyond that though, i love the essence of your characters...

And @merrrrideth I like the idea of your Attorny character going to the manor for some law errand, so please pm me and we can work out the details of how she's heard of the manor and why she's visiting.

@Twhirtley we talked earlier, so your character is golden. Please move your sheet over to Characters when you can.

I cant wait to see what the rest of you cook up!

Caverns & Critters

I think you can continue to post @Twhirtley

Yo @The Roman07, @Eklispe you're dropping the ball get on it! Don't leave us hanging! It would super suck if your characters died before they'd even gotten into the Cavern now that we're so so close!

Bump By the Co-GM! Check out this thing!

Ooh boy that means we'll have to deal with crazy space shit, being forever lost to earth, AND a power vaccume! Sounds like a grand time to me!
