It's also perfectly fine to tell me I'm thinking about this too much. I won't stop thinking about it, but I will stop bothering you with it.
If knowledge is power, then I'm using confusing terminology.
If knowledge is advantage, then I'm telling you no more than I have to.

In short, keep thinking, but don't expect an answer.

Basically, if I can raise a half dozen interested players who I can trust to stick around and help me make this work, I'll set it rolling. Without them, never.

I am interested. I will add a sheet to this post in the near future. Can I be slightly vague? Typing on an IPhone isnt set out for paragraphs of text as such.

Name: James Fenton

Description: James is male. He is 25. He is of average height, (around 5'10), and is quite thin.
 
Appearance/Notable Traits: James has Brown hair and pale skin. He looks kind, and "smiles" alot. He is quite athletic.  James wears a suit. A dark grey pinstripe with a white/blue striped shirt and a silver tie. He does not know why he is wearing this suit. Things happen like that. He speaks with polished English. He has impeccable taste. He acts as though he has been raised well. He stands up straight and speaks when spoken to, and comes off as a considerate individual. He has dead looking eyes. This is a façade. In truth he is as dead as a stone inside, as cold and sharp as ice, and as cunning and calculating as any master criminal. He is clinically insane, but you wouldn't know it, after all...that smile...

Hope I'm not jumping the gun with this sheet....

Aditional Clause: the characters are to be real people from the real world. The insane, especially, may be "cool" or "quirky", but they will not befeatured in this Rp.

He is highly logical, athletic (but not as much so as , for example, a professional sportsman) and is also a rather competitive and proud (as in arrogant) individual. However, this works against him as well, as he becomes irrational and frustrated when things generally don't work in his favour. He would like people to consider him to have a seamless personality, but the reality is far from it.

In heed of what you said, I have updated my character. I have removed insanity, and brought him down to earth. He is more or less the same, but is now arrogant, and with a volatile temper when things aren't favouring him. 

I'm happy to change pretty much anything other than name, gender and description. Hope this fits the cut!

Name: Roland Roberts

Description: Male, 37, 6'2", has dark brown hair with many grey strands popping up here and there, has a moustache of moderate thickness kept well groomed. Pale skin bearing many freckles and pockmarks.

Appearance: His taste in clothes is partly gothic; he wears very formal, almost Victorian clothes, but in very loud, bright colours. Carries himself with an air of confidence and a smile that is the only good-looking thing about him. His accent seems to be part a posh, southern English enunciated melody, and part a Liverpudlian drawl.
mostly polite, if breaking with tradition. Currently wearing a yellow opera-cape, a sea blue top-hat, a sweatervest of the same colouriver an red and white striped shirt. Black gloves, black pants and very, very bright white formal shoes. He likes to draw attention to himself.

Notable Traits: An excelent speaker, a fast runner, an eccentric disregard to social protocols (partially an act to draw more attention to self).
Suggestions and critique appreciated.

Please, could I have a more believable character? Roland seems to be an exercise in eccentricity rather than an actual character, and I suspect that he would have been written as insane if I had not already specified otherwise.

I have no direct objections to this sheet. It will be considered when the characters are selected.

mostly polite, generally selfish, but kind enough if he doesn't have to go far out of his way to help. Currently wearing a black and red velvet opera-cape, a black top-hat, a black tailcoat and a sea-blue sweatervest over a white shirt. Black gloves, black pants and very, very bright white formal shoes. He likes to draw attention to himself.

Notable Traits: An excelent speaker, a fast runner, an eye for detail.

Here you go...

Name: William Baxterson

Description: Male, 27, about 5'8, average build, medium length dark brown hair, greyish blue eyes.

Appearance: He looks like the kind of guy that you wouldn't want to aproach, which is what he wants. He's usually cold and distant, and gives off the aura that he really doesn't like those around him, a feeling that ,quite commonly, is acurate. His hair is unkempt, he has bags under his eyes, and his cloths, preticularly his grey coat, are dirty half the time due to him not being bothered to wash them/ not being able to afford them. aside from the coat, he also wears button down t-shirts, those of the darker green and blue variety, and blue dark pants. He stands either lazily, or slouchingly rarely standing straight, saving that for when he's annoyed or attentive. He speaks with a british accent but speaks with normal english, with a condisending tone, as if he's berating you for something. He becomes visibly angered thought when people preach something while doing something else, and prefers if things stay constant. He's not preticuarly athletic and doesn't care for physical sport, thought he understands why someone might.

Notable Traits: He's Constant and likes the world to be too, usually angered when someone like a politician comes to disrupt it. He's also Antisocial as discussed before. But...he's also Understanding, he can understand why someone ay have done something or why something is the way it is, which just adds more frustration when he comes across something he doesn't like.

Hope it's good enough.

I voice much interest! Is this an acceptable/suitably realistic character?

Name: Liam Albreeno

Description: Liam is male, 25 years old and athletically built. His upper body strength is nothing spectacular, but he is a competant runner, competeing in numerous race events for his university. He has short blond hair and blue eyes, with the beginings of a beard/excessive stubble.

Appearance: Liam dresses in jeans, a t-shirt and a hoody, typically. He also has a gold stud-earing in his left ear. The only other piece of jewelry he wears is a small crucifix in a silver chain around his neck. Liam is confident and cheerful, with a friendly smile. He always seems approachable to people.

Notable Traits: 1) Liam is an accomplished distance runner. At his university, and bible colledge, he competed in numerous long distance competintions, often placing well, but never quite achieving the podium places. His upper body strength and agility are nothing extra-ordinary though.
2) After an unfortunate and violent episode in a homeless shelter, Liam was stabbed by a man with a bloody knife. Two months later, he discovered he'd become HIV positive. His family and friends assumed this had occured through sexual contact, and due to their devote Christian nature, shunned him.
3)Liam was studying to be a preacher at a bible colledge. He has done lots of volunteer work, both at night shelters, and in churches. Over time, he has found it increasingly easy to "chat" to people. While this may note equate to inspiring charisma, it certainly makes him a people person. His faith in God is going through a rocky time however, due to the rejection he recieved when his friends and family discovered his illness. Waking up in a random labarynth isn't helping much either.

Hope this is ok for a first draft!
