Did not expect to spend my Saturday in bed with a nightmarish headache. Replies might be slow today.

Bio

So, hello all, I'm Shi. I've been participating in play-by-post roleplays for the past 8 years, though I did just come back from a break. If I'm working with you and go silent for more than a week without any explanation or heads up please send me a message and call me out on it. (Check my status if this happens. I leave most of these warnings there now.) I honestly just lose the motivation to write a lot...or forget to give a warning and then feel super guilty and put off replying longer.

On a better note; I just recently completed college and my schedule has opened up for the first time in years. Unlike before I am no longer balancing school, work, and life.

That is all...

"My life is my own, its secrets are mine,
I keep my world to myself, so don't cross the line,
But if fiction is what you are looking for, then I will be there,
A pen in my hand and a story to share.

That is what I am here for, to create stories galore,
Epics of heroes, battles of gore,
Lives unheard of, worlds not yet explored,
I am here to write, to no longer be bored."

Name: Grace Baur

Age: 27

Nationality: American of English-Romanian descent.

Profession: Blacksmith’s/ Gunsmith’s “Assistant”

Apperance/Clothing:

Grace stands at 5’7 with a thin and toned frame. Her skin is lightly tanned with several small scars scattered across her arms where she has accidentally been burned or even cut herself during work. She has light brown eyes.
Usual work outfit consists of a simple mid-length sleeved blouse, a pair of trousers, and a pair of brown leather boots. She dresses this way to avoid incidents when she is working.


Combat Skills: Knife, decent markswoman, explosives, quick on her feet in close combat.

General Skills: Weapon repair, Weapon construction, explosive/gunpowder knowledge (She can make her own TNT and other explosives.) , Horseback riding, Cooking, Negotiations, and swimming.

Languages: English and Romanian.

Weapons: Smith and Wesson model 3, an altered Colt Single Action revolver, and a personally crafted double edge dagger.

Possessions: Clothing, small tool kit for repairing/constructing weapons including explosives, rounds, gunpowder, Belt with holsters for her weapons, whatever money she made from working, and a black American Quarter Horse.

Personality: Strong willed, loyal to a fault, quick learner, confident, cunning, and fiery in spirit and in temper.

History: Grace Baur was born to Vivian and Luther Baur, a Romanian immigrant who spoke little English and a smithy born in the United States. They lived a humble life in Brogden , her father owning a blacksmith and gunsmith store in town. She was four when the Civil war broke out and with it her father was recruited into the army, separating the man from his only daughter and wife for four years. Her mother died of TB when she was ten, leaving her father on his own to raise his little girl.

With no womanly influence Grace was practically raised like a boy. Her father taught her his trade, took her hunting with him, taught her how to fight. Sure, it wasn’t usual but Mr. Baur wanted his daughter to be able to take over the family trade when he retired and making sure she could fend for herself was one of his top priorities. Her grandmother, who hardly visited, disapproved and when she was around she made sure to teach Grace etiquette and more feminine hobbies. Grace was more fascinated with weapons though, working alongside her father when he finally let her. She goes by assistant to keep her aging grandmother happy but she does the same work her father does.
Name: Lucinda Blackwell
Age: 261 years old but appears 21.

Occupation: Hotel Decorator, primarily Gardner.

Race: Wizard half Wood Nymph

Appearance pic:

Resembling her Nymph blood Lucinda is a slender woman who stands at around 5’7. Her brown hair falls in curls just past her shoulders, often decorated with flowers. She has bright green eyes, slightly tan skin, and pointed ears.

Personality: Lucinda is a calm, soft-spoken individual who almost always has a smile on her face. She enjoys the beauty of the world around her and thoroughly enjoys her job. Though she doesn’t talk much she can be extremely friendly, and to those she considers her close friends she doesn’t seem as soft spoken as others perceive her. After work she can be found helping out around the hotel, anywhere she can be useful.

Bio: Lucinda was born to an odd pair of parents; one a powerful wizard and the other a wood nymph. Not long after she was born her mother left, leaving her daughter behind to rejoin her nymph sisters. After that it was just her and her father. Most of her abilities took after her father, though she had a knack for elemental magic that Mr. Blackwell associated with her mother. When she was 21 she realized that she was no longer aging, though her father hadn’t aged a day since she was born. She had always stayed away from human civilizations and only knew about them through the stories she was brought up on, thus she grew a fear of them. Sometime after her 213 birthday she decided to move out, having heard of Hotel Transylvania. She started off as a mere guest but soon turned into an employee when her predecessor retired.

Name: Magnus Von Drake

Age: 183 years old but appears 26.

Occupation: Guest

Race: Necromancer
Appearance pic:


Personality: Magnus is usually a well-mannered man with a gentlemanly way of talking. He can be rather flirtatious though, to both men and women and sometimes he’s oblivious to the individuals’ dislike of what he merely sees as compliments. The man would rather find a calm place to sit down and drink than any sort of wild function though he has a hard time saying no.
I'm very interested. I'll start working on a CS as of immediately.
I might just be interested.

Im totally in.
One last thing before I go back to reading the IC,

I was wondering if I was aloud to guess what Marianne is 'cause I think I have a good guess.


Yes you can guess but send it to me in PM, just incase you get it right... I'm letting everyone find out on their time.
Well if you ever decide to make another 'The collector' rp please PM me, I love the concept to a flaw and am already trying to come up with a character for the next time that the mysterious collector takes in new collection people. Collectionites? Collectionians? I'm not sure what to call them.


I will keep you in the loop my friend, and I'm sure they are called collectibles. He doesn't see them as equal to him or even above him, the collector treats almost everyone like a possession.
Dang, well that sucks on the part that your rp grinder to a halt but I'm glad to see its going along, seemingly steady now!

Also that's pretty cool having the Mr.T cameo, it's pretty cool that he helped with the other group in a small way. I'm actually skimming through the IC of this rp right now and it makes me wish we could have gotten farther in the other rp.


Me as well, that group had such promise...though I truly enjoy playing Rosaline instead. Her history with the collector just makes it hilarious, and also will assure us that this will not be our last confrontation with the man.
Just found this and it reminds me of the good 'ol days in the first collector rp. That was so cool.


I still miss Mr. T... I may or may not have given him a cameo in this one, sort of. His name is mentioned by Alexandra, my character from the old collector, and she's holding another teddy bear who she thinks is him. He escaped with the others, she didn't. She gave her sanity to save everyone...

Sadly that wasn't the first, the original was done over two years ago and died quickly due to neglect and the fact that we had close to 30 participants who either left everyone behind or was left behind, or ignored the GM's (Me.) leads and such.
@shi12

Wow. Impressive. If I may ask, what other sites do you roleplay on?

As for what Marianne is... not sure if I said this already, but honestly, my best guess is (maybe still) some kind of demon or reaper. Or a mix thereof. I'm not as well-versed in the mythological as I would like to (and probably should) be, and for all I know it could be derived from an anime/other show I haven't seen. Ha.


I'm only on two sites; here and Kik...which isn't much of a site. A friend of mine pulled me into this 24/7 rp that I can't leave for a second or I miss a week in the storyline.

I don't think anyone has guessed that... though there have only been three people to guess on her identity, in this thread at least.
I have realized that it has been quite some time since I asked this question. Has anyone figured out what Marianne is?

I'm also kind of wondering if we should add a new character or two to the mix as well... That's up for debate though.
