Left Behind: Mulberry Street

If the group wants to hang on the Kurocord I'll be there, I suppose. Anyway, I'm working on a post right now.

Left Behind: Mulberry Street

I read that one of your characters is also 18 and just out of our high school, which means our characters were in school together and probably know each other. Would you wanna establish a friendship (#besties) there or would you rather not? Either is fine, but I would like to!

I wouldn't mind talking about relations. 👌 I imagine the street [inhabitants] would have prior interactions with each other so us as a RP group should maybe spitball some stuff in general at some point.

When Huddeen was small, Rutherford Graves – a veteran of the American Civil War – deciding to start a new page of his life far away from what he had become accustomed to. Through time he became the face of law and order in the New Hampshire township. It is through those roots that the Graves household traces back their residence in Huddeen. Though it may not be for very long. “There has been a Graves in Huddeen since Ulysses S. Grant became President.” That’s changed over time, but usually there’s been a Graves wearing a sheriff’s badge in some way or another. The last Graves to wear a badge, Paul D. Graves, died ten years ago after a terrible battle with lung cancer. He was a gruff, but charming and friendly character. But life carries on.

I like the sheet, but I do have a few concerns with Lorraine. Her information feels sparse(-ling, heh, anyhow) compared to the other characters mentioned within the sheet. I know she's struggling to support the family alone and is dealing with the loss of her husband, but what else? Did she have some kind of big job, was she a stay-at-home mom or something? Small details like that to give her more depth as a character.

Yep, I need to decide on her job which is pretty much it. That was the edit I said I needed to do.

Random question but if we're going to have people with multiple characters and/or potential npcs, should they be separate posts or lumped in one central post? Personally I'm more of the former just so the CS post tab can be used as a running total of all characters (pc & npc) but also it keeps things uniform, imo.
