Bio
Hi. I'm Matt. You could say I'm a Case of Identity...
1. The Important Stuff: Faith and salvation
I am a Christian. I believe the KJV Bible and that God is real, Jesus died for me, Jesus rose again and offered salvation to the world. Heaven is real, Hell is hot and the only escape is Christ. I accepted salvation the only way you can: by admitting I was a sinner (and I still am), believing that Jesus died for me and rose again, and calling on Him to save me. Anyone can do it anytime and be granted eternal life.
"Matt, why are you saying all of this?" you ask.
Because last time I was here, I did a crap job of establishing that and just tried to 'fit in.' I'm going to add a little more of this to my characters and to my signature, because it's the right thing to do and because there's freedom on these kinds of sites. Not to an extent that interrupts/derails the story, though. Your game, your rules.
2. The Actual Bio:
Hi guys. I'm Matthias Emmanuel Angel, I'm 24, and this is where I spend time when I'm not doing other things (church, homework, studying, video games).
///
What I like:
-Landscape Management (my major)
-Guitar (over a decade of experience and not much to show for it)
-PC Games (gave up on Xbox, no regrets)
-RPGs (I play them too often though)
-Water instead of soda (oooo look at how healthy I am)
-Google SketchUp (awesome 3D models, free download)
-The number 23 (it's the best number)
///
What I don't like:
-Profanity (especially when it's just filler in comedy)
-Lewd content and porn (and anyone bragging about it)
-Gory movies (how are they going to get butchered this time?)
-Jerks (you aren't a jerk, are you?)
-Insects (kill them all)
-Dying in video games (and forgetting to save)
///
I realize, of course, that this site doesn't have limits on profanity of lewd content. No worries. I'll work around it, and won't join up with RPs rated 18+. If you feel like it will be a problem, let me know BEFORE the RP starts.
3. Other Internet Presence:
You can find me in a couple other places.
Armor Games: MattEmAngel
Steam: club_blizzy
...and Comments here, of course.
See you in another world.
-Matt

@MissCapnCrunch Need confirmation on serial killer actually being a contracted hit man for the alligator mafia. Will need someone to RP at least one alligator, preferably the Don. Also need approval for the nerf gator and alligator fedoras.

@BassDropp Well, it was a sarcastic suggestion. Like, we COULD do that. But yeah it wasn't very obvious. I'll try to separate my sarcasm more blatantly in the future.
What if the serial killer is in cahoots with the alligator mafia and he's actually a contract assassin?

@BassDropp I was joking. It would be a "The dog was the mastermind" ending.

@Fabricant451 The killer throws his victims into the water to be eaten by an alligator? Like he knocks them out and throws them in the water.

What if the serial killer is literally just an alligator who kills swimmers?

@MissCapnCrunch Sorry for DP'ing, I want to respond to your vote:
1. Yes, but make sure you plan it out. I've read all of the original Sherlock Holmes books, so if you make it up as you go, I'm going to catch loopholes. You could give him a motive of revenge, but you could just as well make him just get a kick out of killing people.
If you want, I'll gladly collaborate via PM to figure out how it would go. I'll compensate for RPing a guy who gets offed early on. Even better, if I was a popular, loved person, it'll encourage them to stay (WE SHALL AVENGE HIM!) rather than run for their lives.
2. Not really interested. Then it's just a lot of character development and nightmares, and it doesn't have a clear ending. For multiple murders, they can still do those things, but it'll have an end goal (catch the killer and everyone goes home), and they'll have something to do.
3. Nonononono please no. Then we have to figure out what it is and how to kill it, and we'll end up with stereotypical "Monsters aren't real!" arguments. Would they have to use Google or a library or something to learn how to combat it? "Siri, how do I kill the swamp kraken?" Haha.

@MissCapnCrunch This kind of thing could rapidly devolve into panic and everyone arguing and turning against each other. I'd suggest a stable, older person to hold them together. I'm willing to RP an adult. Say, someone's uncle, who's fun, popular, responsible, and who can take control and advise them...and who gets killed next. BWAHAHAHAHA.
@CourierSix
1. Typos happen.
2. Oh okay, I see where you were going. I thought you had a standardized militia of some kind. Randomness seems more appropriate.
3. Awesome. I like having someone who's firmly established as a bad guy, especially a clever, devious one.
@iHxzardx
I contacted @CourierSix privately and mentioned that if I was being rude, I apologize and won't do it again. As for correcting everyone's posts, I've mostly being requesting changes in the display of the writing, not the actual writing, and at times have questioned facts and story elements, not entire posts (aside from Courier, whom in hindsight I really should have said to him in private). There really isn't anything wrong about a critique, as long as it doesn't directly insult the creator. It means someone is reading your writing and has enough interest in it to suggest (suggest, not demand or harass about) changes, in the interest of making it better. I'm not saying you're a bad writer or you're doing it wrong. I'm saying you could do it differently or better. If you don't like the changes, just reject them. Even if you were to shoot down an entire post of mine, at least I know you read it and have suggestions on how I could improve it.
Of course, if I actually did it to everyone on all of their posts, okay, I can understand that becoming obnoxious, but I haven't. Not even close. I went back through the OOC and checked.
In the future, though, I'll restrict comments about a single person to PMs.

@CourierSix Ok so a handful of comments on your post, all of which you are free to dismiss, because it is of course ultimately up to you.
Except for this first one:
1. Typo. You wrote "grouo" instead of "group" near the end of the last paragraph.
2. Generally avoid saying "high-grade military weapons" or "powerful guns" or whatever. Do a little research and throw some names in there. M4 barbine for the modern military rifle, M16 for a little bit older (Vietnam era). Remington 870 for the modern military shotgun, Winchester 1912 for a little bit older (also Vietnam era). Some SMG's, like the MP5K and Skorpion vz. 61, are classic mob/gang weapons that your guys could have looted. I encourage you to look up models on your own to find something appropriate for the year, availability, or just the fun. The more details, the more of your picture we get to see.
Wikipedia is even nice enough to provide whole pages per category: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_combat_s.. Just make sure you get approval from the GM!
3. I'm a little confused by the behavior of the leader chilling in the truck bed. You set him up to be a formidable person who He was calm and confident and just instantly melted. Like, he didn't prepare at all for Raguel thinking he had backup? I was kind of expecting him to eyeball Reguel and lie with a straight face. Instead Raguel was like "Hi, whatcha doing in your truck?" and he was like "OH CRAP I WASN'T PREPARED FOR HIM TO TALK TO ME."
If you want to go ahead and write him off as easy prey to emphasize Raguel's cunning, by all means, but maybe make the leader look less like a formidable opponent.
