Do you like cyberpunk? Do you like stories? Do you like complicated characters, and conspiracies? Take a look! roleplayerguild.com/topics/1..
Bio
Hi! I'm Naril. I write, build things, and I'm incredibly busy, all the time. I'm probably older than you. I'm not interested in isekai, school settings, sandboxes, excessively grimdark settings, or invitation-only threads; I'm very picky about militaria, I don't care for A Song of Ice and Fire, Nation roleplay bores me to tears, most fandom doesn't really catch my attention, and though I prefer Advanced-level writing, I'm not going to help you write your book (Unless you feel like paying my day rate) - which almost certainly means I'm not here. Some day, maybe. Probably not, though!
I am interested in science fiction, cyberpunk, space operas, and stories of working together, uplift, and progress. You'll catch my attention with fantasy adventures in an interesting world, or with almost any modern fantasy. I have a soft spot for superhero stories, and you might find me in the occasional Star Wars or Star Trek fandom.
My standards are high for myself and mild for everyone else; I love writing dialogue and making you feel like you can taste the place I'm creating. I write in the style I like to read, which is the part I find fun. If you want an example of the authors I enjoy, look at Ann Leckie, Tamsyn Muir, N.K. Jemisin, Martha Wells, Terry Pratchett, and Neil Gaiman.

Hiya!
If you're talking about Bigfoot, the Ogopogo, and Jackalopes, then I don't see why they wouldn't be a (quiet) part of this world. If you're talking bout were-creatures, then that's fine too. I'm surprised nobody's written a werewolf character, not that I'm necessarily complaining. :3
And if you show me that your mute character works really well with the world and the other characters and in general is a character I would let into the game, I'll let them into the game. That's rather a tautology, but it's the best I can do right now. In general, I have few limits on characters - they just have to be interesting, complex, work well with the story, and all the other nonsense I put in the first post.

Excellent! I'll look forward to it. I'm touching this thread when I can between quite a lot of plate-juggling today, but I'll at least glance at anything you post, I'm sure. :3 I have a very busy evening, so anything meaty may wind up bleeding over into Saturday or Sunday, but they'll get done!

There certainly is still room! :3 I would love to see another character, and especially another woman.

I'm working with a couple of other folks on some prospective characters. :3 I'm hoping we can make everything work!

Excellent! I don't see why the various characters wouldn't have "partners," or at least other people they liked to work with. I imagine that pairings and groupings are generally at the various employees' discretion, save for those times when it might make sense for a specific person to come along on some weird task or other. Or, of course, if they specifically ask for someone.
For some reason I'm very taken with the idea of Jacob's daughter having spent "after school time" with Shiloh or Morgan on more than one occasion. Hmm...

@vietmyke - You're in! I like this character a lot.
@Habibi359 - Good enough for me. :3
@Everyone else - While I do love these two characters, no more ex-cops! There are lots of other backgrounds. :3
@myke/Habibi - Do your characters get along? Are they friends? Do they see too much of one another in each other and have a simmering dislike? You don't have to answer in the thread, but think about it. They seem like they'd get along, to me. Also, has Jacob ever introduced his daughter to the rest of the PHI weirdos? Do they know he has a daughter? So many juicy questions!

@Habibi359 - I really like this character. Well done! There are a few things I would change - some of the wording (starting in the Personality section) is a little rough, like you started writing one sentence, decided to crop most of it out, but left a few dangling words. Don't worry, I've done the same thing more than a few times. :3
In the last paragraph, "...The reasons why Robert exactly chose to join the PHI are somewhat vague..." is a little too vague, since the wording sets up an omniscient uncertainty. There's more narrative interest (and even room to play with for character growth) in something like "...Robert keeps his reasons for staying with PHI to himself...."
Once we get a more full cast, I'll be certainly asking everyone to make sure they know what their characters think of the others as well, so give some thought to that, too. :3
Just polish those couple things a little, and I'd say you're in!
@vietmyke - I quite like that picture! :3 Just the right kind of atmosphere.

@vietmyke - There's no "specific" way that magic works, really; if you provide me with a good framework for why your character can use magic there's a very good chance I'll let you roll with it (provided the story makes sense, of course :3). Talent for magic tends to run in families but not always; that talent will rarely manifest the same way from one person to another (One person might be good at turning invisible, another person might only have the talent of hard boiling a single egg with a thought, others will be Dresden-style wizards, and on and on), and I expect that just about everyone will have a different idea of how it works (An order of wizards is certainly something I'm open to, if you write a good addition to the setting. :3)
I hope that's only mostly confusing!

@vietmyke - Mmhmm, IPAs seem to be taking the whole country over (Including where I am now) for a little while now. There's a few I don't mind - Half Acre does a great one called Daisy Cutter that I really quite like - but this "quest for a bitter, undrinkable swill" makes me a little sad. I don't drink a lot, but I really do love a good Scottish ale. :3
