Viciousmarrow — Roleplayer Guild

♢  Owner of Shadybrook Funeral Home, Funeral Director & T.A.  ♢  24  ♢  5’1"  ♢  95lbs


In Depth Appearance:
 Patience is slightly underweight for a woman of her height and age, but she's not lacking looks. Her emerald orbs and her shockingly red hair stand out in the crowd, which attracts potential suitors. However, they tend to run off when they learn about her profession. She has no tattoos and only basic ear piercings, but she hopes to one day get a tattoo of a hummingbird (cliche, she knows). On a day to day basis, Patience is known to wear dress clothes everywhere she goes, mostly out of a habit.

Personality:
 A bubbly and delightful presence, Patience doesn't seem to be the type of girl that would be working with the dead. In fact, most would guess that she was a used car saleswoman by her constant up selling of funeral goods, such as more expensive caskets or elaborate floral arrangements. True to her name, she is incredibly patient and she's always haggling and attempting to increase her profit margins, which can be a bit of an annoyance for her clients. Nonetheless, its quite obvious that she absolutely adores her job! However, Patience is very accident prone, perhaps even ditzy, and tends to make a mess when she's not paying enough attention to something. This has resulted in a few angry customers in the past, and it's something she's currently trying to work on. Despite her squirrel brain, she is an educated woman who knows her anatomy, chemistry, and even a good bit of history.

As a person, she is a sensitive woman who cries at every sad story and tries to be as empathetic as she can be. There are clear signs she is a workaholic due to her empathetic nature, and she tends to bite off more than she can chew, resulting in a frazzled jumble of stress. Aside from her money mooching, there doesn't seem to be a single evil bone in her although she does have a particular vice for alcohol. A woman can only see so many bodies before they start drinking to forget, you know? Patience has an affinity for men, especially the cute, educated ones, but she has found it is hard to snag a man that can deal with her profession. The smell of formaldehyde is apparently a turn off for most males. She worries that her bad luck with men will mean she won't ever have an heir to take over the family business when she's gone.

History:
 Patience, an only child, and her family come from the town of Klaksvik in the Faroe Islands, just to the north of Scotland. Historically, the Morgans had owned one of the few and most prosperous churches in Klaksvik, and they were largely regarded as people of high stature for their dedication to the community. Growing up, there never were any problems financially, and the tiny Patience was given a proper Faroe education, which included learning Norwegian, Danish, and English. However, her father never was a religious man and got tired of pretending to be something he wasn't. However, he was interested in the funerary arts and dreamed of starting his own funeral home. So around the time she was 11, he sold all of his property, including the church, and shipped his family off to Shine City, where he had bought a nice plot of land with plenty of burial space. 

Shine City was altogether a much different beast than the small town that the Morgan clan originated from. There were people everywhere, a huge difference! That was a good thing for business too since citizens were dying left and right, which was almost more than her father could handle. Patience begged her father to let her help him after seeing how tired he was from the constant cycle of funeral arrangements. Reluctantly, he agreed to make his daughter his apprentice, but only on the condition that she would go to college and pursue what she loved when it came time for that. Under her father's wing, she learned all there was to owning a funeral home, everything from embalming bodies to selling cemetery plots. It was quite a lot like wedding planning, only with a shorter amount of time to do it. Though her father thought Patience would give up and be disgusted by his work, she actually quite enjoyed it!

Recently, her mother and father passed away, just months apart, and she has now come in possession of Shadybrook Funeral Home. All the while, Patience has started her goal of obtaining a Master's degree in Genetic Biology, which combines her favorite subjects, anatomy and history, into one super fun major! While she didn't necessarily need to, she volunteers as a Teaching Assistant for Professor Matsuoka. She hopes that her expertise in genetics will help people find their ancestors and understand their cultural roots better when they visit her graveyard. This process has been incredibly taxing on her, but she's content with everything she has. Oh, another interesting fact about her is that she is an ordained minister, so she can totally officiate weddings!

Party Trick:
 She's double jointed! Patience can bend her bones back further than most people can, but this tends to illicit exclamations of disgust. Otherwise, she can show off her history skills by recanting lists of important dates! Unfortunately, this is more likely to bore people to tears than impress them. 

Side Character:







♢ Mechanic & "Pharmacist"  ♢ 27  ♢ 6'0"  ♢ 178lbs


In Depth Appearance:
There is a certain Southern American charm that radiates from Lucky's stormy grey eyes. Whether or not women find that attractive or not varies considerably on a case by case basis, but he has had some good luck with his looks in the past. True to his rural roots, Lucky has a distinct messy look to him, with his disheveled red hair and a preference for thrift store quality clothes. His typical outfit is a baggy set of grey cargo pants and a white tank top, which he'll accessorize with a light flannel jacket on occasion. Underneath his clothes, its quite apparent he's physically fit, but not overly so. He has a tattoo on his left arm, right below his elbow that reads "Protean", an expression of his versatile nature. Various scars litter his arms from his profession, and anyone with a keen enough eye might even notice the fading track marks from his history of drug abuse.

Personality:
Lucky is a firebrand and an adrenaline junkie above all else. He loves a good time and actively seeks anything and everything that'll give him a good high. Some people might say that he has an addictive personality, but Lucky would argue that all day, considering he is incredibly stubborn and doesn't know when to admit he's wrong. Moreover, he is prone to acting on his impulses and doesn't always think about his actions. Honesty is second nature to him, perhaps to a fault though. If Lucky thinks a certain lady is attractive or something is dumb, then he's not afraid to say it. 

Though he may not seem it or even look it, Lucky is a clever man. His rather short criminal record is a testament to his ability to get out of trouble. By his own admission, he'll tell you that he definitely should be in prison for half the things he's done in his life. Fortunately, he has a good heart and treats everyone fairly. He would never harm a person unless he had good enough reasoning to. In fact, those closest to him know that Lucky would walk a hundred miles to be there for a friend in need.

History:
Lucky comes from the small town of White Pine, Tennessee, right near the rolling Appalachian Mountains. He only had a single sibling, a sister named Stephanie, to roam his family's small farm. Being as poor as they were and having little access to modern conventions, such as high speed internet, out in the middle of nowhere, Lucky spent most of his days bored to death. The boy had to invent his own fun, whether it came from hunting squirrels with a slingshot, learning how to work on cars, or picking at his grandpa's old guitar. Unfortunately, the older he got, the riskier his hobbies got though. 

By the time he was in middle school, he was smoking and drinking with his band of rebel rousing rednecks. Somehow though, he was still doing well in school, something that would remain constant despite his increasingly reckless behavior. In high school, Lucky partook in and sold heavy narcotics, such as methamphetamine and heroin, and competed in an illegal racing circuit to afford his kicks. There were a few OD scares for him, but he never stopped. His lifestyle was just way too fun. 

Unfortunately, his post high school years were incredibly rough. Lucky had developed a crippling addiction to heroin, and he spent every single penny he had or trading favors for the stuff. It didn't help that his friends enabled his addiction and constantly pressured him into worse and worse situations. It wasn't until he was 25 that his sister had a talk with him and he finally realized that this lifestyle was incredibly toxic. The best way for him to get out of this predicament was to move away, but he didn't have any money. So, instead of saving the cash he needed, Lucky stole all of his drug dealer of a best friend's money, packed his bags, and caught a plane to the most exotic place he could think of: Shine City.

The last 2 years have seen him completely recover from his former dependency, yet he admits he does miss it. If Lucky didn't think it would kill him, he'd be right back on it. Since he doesn't have a college education and refuses to work crappy retail jobs, he currently runs his own business out a van while gaining some supplemental income by selling weed and pills, "light drugs" to him, on the down low. He has had some struggles adjusting to city life, but he wouldn't change a thing. There's just so much more to do here!

Party Trick:
Need something fixed? Chances are Lucky knows how to fix it. His repair skills aren't simply limited to vehicles! Not impressed by that? Well, grab a mic and he'll spit out some sick rhymes. He's surprisingly adept at rapping. Much better than Fred Durst anyway.
