Rhett rummaged through some rubble in a branched off part of the dim tunnels. It was damp and smelled like dirt. His boots sank deeper into moister parts of the earth. He grunted as he pulled himself out of the mud. This sucks. Why did he have to take this job? He could've gone with a caravan into mountains inhabited by crazy tribals. Or picked up an easy job protecting some rich brat. But no, he had to take the job looking for something that doesn't even exist! He pulled himself out of the mud into one of the main tunnels, where the ground was much more solid. He made his way out of the tunnel, passing by scholars busy at picking through wet dirt. He squinted as light hit his face, the sun was rising over the city. Workers went around the camps in front of the tunnels with purpose. Rhett was surprised they were doing anything other than digging. He took off his hat and ran a hand through his short brown hair. He had been in those damn tunnels since midnight.
He walked over to a certain tent, fresh mud overlapping the dried mud on his boots. There a big, dark skinned man snored in bliss. Rhett kicked him in the thigh. The man awoke with a start and gazed with bleary eyes at Rhett. "I took your shift, where's my payment Kurt?" he demanded. Kurt nodded groggily and reached into his pack. He pulled out a wooden box with a picture of a flame on it. Rhett snatched it out of his hands and Kurt's head fell back onto his makeshift pillow. Rhett opened the lid and pulled out a cigar, he stuffed the box in his satchel. He pulled out a box of matches and lit the cigar. He sighed as the nicotine hit and puffed. He blew out the smoke, feeling infinitely better. He looked around the camp and saw a worker struggling in the mud with two buckets of water. He walked over to the worker and out a hand on his shoulder.
"Hey Pal, where are these going?"

Nice, so, do you wanna start?
There ya go.
Name: Rhett Lovelace
Age:36
Appearance:
He has a wild-style goatee as well.
History: Rhett was born in a small village several miles from The Capital. His father was a factory worker and he rarely saw him. He was taken care of most of the time by his aunt, who had an extraordinarily large heart. Rhett quickly got a reputation as a hard worker and gentle heart in his village. He was content with his life, not like those extremists in that short-lived rebellion. He was an obedient citizen of The Kingdom. Until his father died in a factory accident. His father was the only thing keeping him in the village, in hopes of getting to know him better. Filled with grief and anger, he left his home village to become a mercenary. A career path that eventually lead to this tale.

Age: 15
Frequency Online: Nearly Everyday
Responsibilities Offline: School, Working Out, doing chores, nothing that will dig into my time with the RP
Favorite tv show or books: Atm, Sons of Anarchy and Game of Thrones (I'm reading GoT before I watch it)
Why do you like to write/RP: I like to create stories. I like to make a character that has a personality I create and to see how a story I create pans out. I like to read other creations and improve upon my own and every once in a while, participate in a kickass rp.
Character Sheet:
Name: Isao Whitehead
Alias in the DgtWld: Deddoai (Dead-Eye)
Age: 24
Average Appearance: 
Corrector Appearance:
Weapon of Choice: A .357 six shot revolver decorated ornate flames and skulls. It uses .357 magnum rounds and he carries all ammo in bandoliers on his person. He usually has around 50 bullets on him and when he runs out he has to resort to using his fists. The weapon is slow firing unless he fans it (repeatedly slamming down the hammer while firing to speed up the rate of fire) and he could easily be out gunned by modern weaponry. It's a short range weapon, meant for relatively close encounters. It packs a punch though, and when used efficiently, can be extremely lethal.
Cell Phone
Personality:
+Born to be wild- Isao loves going wild, whether that be on the road or on the battlefield, sometimes he turns into an absolute animal. (Enables Ghost Rider form if GM allows it.)
+Friendly- Isao is a pretty friendly guy, it's hard not to get along with him.
-Brutal- Sometimes Isao's wild side can turn dark, and in the heat of battle, he can be merciless.
+Thrill-Seeker- Isao is an adrenaline junkie, if his friends jump off a bridge, he might just be crazy enough to do it as well.
-Loose Canon- Isao doesn't always think before he acts.
+Loyal- Isao is as loyal as anyone can be to those he cares about.
Background: Isao Whitehead was born on August 17th, 1998 to Ko Matsumura and Hunter Whitehead. He was born in Tokyo, Japan. From an early age, Isao's father played western Music in his home, especially Rock and Blues. His father taught him about the history of these genres, feeding Isao curiosity for this wonderful sounding music. Motorcycles and westerns were a big part of his childhood as well. He loved to watch Clint Eastwood and John Wayne with his father. As he got older, Isao's interests in motorcycles intensified, he learned how they work, what models there were, their history and he found a comic book series that was based around an Anti-Hero riding a motorcycle. Ghost Rider. He was fascinated by the total badassery of this hero that it affected some decisions later in life.
His mother was less thrilled at this wave of western culture upon her child. She attempted to teach him about their samurai origins, but he wasn't nearly as interested. Eventually she just stopped trying. The older he got the more he adopted his father's interests. He and his father would go into the mountains to camp for days at a time. In high school, Isao was incredibly good at Science and Zoology. Part of this was due to the fact that his father would give him lessons when they ventured into the mountains. Isao was popular in high school, his friendly personality made him fun to be around. When he was 16, his father took him to America. He was amazed by the different customs and ways of life there, what America lacked in technology, they made up for in spirit and love for their country. Not to mention it was the home of the Harley Davidson motorcycle. He graduated high school in May, 2015. He went on a road trip with his best friend, Jurou, around the country. He entered college in march of 2016.
It was around this time that the DgtWld became huge. Isao could understand the appeal but he saw what happened to people who relied on the internet too much and he was determined to stay in touch with reality. That's why he chose to major in biology, specifically a career path that would place him in the mountains. In 2017, Isao's father got him a Harley-Davidson Sportster for his 19th birthday. It was the best gift he had ever gotten. It came with a link to the DgtWld and a radio. He disabled the link to the Dgtwld first thing, but upgraded the radio to surround sound. Jurou was there every step of the way with him, except he was training to be an officer in the military. Isao was contacted by a mysterious caller in 2018. The caller explained that Isao has been chosen for a special secret program to help protect Japan from hackers. The caller would not disclose why, only that refusal is not an option. So for the next 2 years of college, Isao worked as a corrector that goes by the alias Deddoai. He chose his appearance based on his favorite comic book hero. Sometimes. He was trained for 2 years by someone called Bosu. Bosu said his training was complete a couple weeks before graduation. Both Isao and Jurou graduated in 2020. Jurou was sent to a military base on the coast and Isao got a job with a Federal agency that operates in the mountains an hour from Tokyo. So he moved back home, much to his parents' delight.
Isao has been working as a biologist for two years and a corrector for four. He's had a steady relationship with his family and friends as well a doing good in his job. Everything is going well. Well, except for the fact that he can't seem to find a girlfriend. Maybe it's due to his 'weird' affiliation with western culture and the outdoors and that he's a secret anti hacker that poses as a sorta undead hell biker for the government. Nah, he just needs to find the right girl.

An admitted male feminist, Weenie is ever vigilant against anti-progressive attitudes. Though he seldom comes into personal contact with the working classes, he keenly feels the pain of their oppression nonetheless.Wow, I've never read a more perfect explanation of the exact opposite of myself.
