Hopefully he works. Lemme know.

If this is set in London, your character is committing a felony offence by carrying around bladed weapons without lawful reason to do so (and there is pretty much no legally acceptable reason to carry them in public).

My character would too actually, unless she's an Authorised Firearms Officer (if this is set in London, I'll probably change her background a bit).

It's a Swiss army knife; I can't remember if they're legal to carry here or not. Anyway, it seems in character as long as he doesn't flaunt it.

I think James Joseph Emerald is referring to the two medium sized knives that IamShmgeggy's character has, not the Swiss army knife.

Well if it helps, i would be a foreigner who is mostly clueless as to how the city in question will be working. So... yeah I have them, but they are in my bag and i haven't used them.

Wait, he brought over a couple of big knives from America? It's kind of implausible (though not at all impossible) for someone to stick that sort of thing in their luggage. He could have got the knives locally in the UK, but he'd know better than anyone else (working for a security company), what you can and can't carry. If we were talking about a security guard who was knowingly breaking the law and didn't care, that would make a lot more sense.

Eh... This seems silly so i'm gonna pull out. I don't want it to be a constant form of contention. Forgive me for not having a perfect back story and not knowing about other areas. Have fun

Well, fuck. Then we have one less person. Seriously though, I don't get it, those knives could be of important value to him or just really good ones, it's perfectly plausible that he would carry them around then, and what does that have to do with the character working for a security company in America? Why would that require him to know about British law? I would say it's completely plausible, shame people keep hassling you about it (I am sorry if you thought I was as well, I was just trying to point out to the GM what the discussion was about so that he didn't mistake it.)

I wanted to know more about your character, but I get why you don't want to keep answering questions about it.

Goodness, I don't want to drive people away, I'm just trying to understand the character better.

The thing about about a security guard coming to work in the UK is that he would have been told what is and isn't allowed. I honestly don't mind him carrying the knives, as long as the character knows what he is doing. Perhaps he does just likes his knives and is disregarding the law. If it gets explained in the sheet, I'll understand.

This is all assuming it does take place in London, which it might not.

It seems that might have already happened, but you're not the only one who has questioned it. And, I would say that he might not have been informed of it, considering he was transferred in something that seemed like a hurry, considering they were trying to keep him from finding out something. (at least, that's the impression I got.) It might even be a set up.
But I don't know if we'll find out.

 

[Viking Incognito]

Spoiler: My character

Name: Eli St. George/Cain/Solomon

Age: 29/25/56

Height: 5?11

Eye Color: One eye is deep emerald green, and the other is pale faded blue

Hair: Long unkempt mop-top with premature patches of grey, 5?o clock shadow on face

Clothing: He wears a pair of durable jeans with stains of various colors on them, and old grey undershirt. On top of that, he wears a very worn red and black lumberjack shirt, leather gloves, and a dark green baseball cap with what looks like a scorch mark on the bill. On his feet he wears

Miscellaneous Appearance Descriptors: He carries a backpack with a variety of supplies, from a Swiss army knife, to a first aid kit, to a raincoat. But that is not all there is; he carries things on his back that hold the weight of souls who died trying to obtain them. Their weight can hardly be felt by his body, but they will never stop being felt by his soul.

Personality: Eli- Eli is a practical if pessimistic person. If faced with a begging man, he would toss him some change. Life as a modern nomad (a.k.a. wandering bum) has taught him to be wary and cautious. He is a bit twitchy and not very trusting, but when it comes down to it, willing to do what must be done.

Cain- This is the aggression personality. When Eli feels physically threatened to the point that he can?t handle it, he turns into Cain. When faced with a begging man, Cain would ignore him completely, but if threatened, he would strangle the man to death. Cain was developed as nothing more than a defense mechanism, and as a result, doesn?t know how to talk, though he can understand simple speech. He is much more formidable than one would immediately suspect, being able to beat two average size men into submission with only relative effort.

Solomon- The voice of reason. When a feat requires thought, reflection, planning, or mental fortitude, Solomon is there. He is a weary old man that walks with a limp, but is filled with wisdom from head to toe. If he met a begger, he would probably tell him the location of the nearest homeless shelter. Solomon was made to withstand the mental trials of the Holders, which he does with frankly amazing resilience.


Occupation: Devoted to being a Seeker, but will also do odd jobs to stay fed

Abilities: 1: He never has to sleep [http://theholders.org/?The_Holder_of_Sleep] 2: One of his Objects can hide him from hateful supernatural beings [http://theholders.org/?Holder_of_Hate] 3: And a pistol with one clip that can kill supernatural beings. [http://theholders.org/?Holder_of_War]

Fears: The Holders, The Hunter of Rage [http://theholders.org/?Holder_of_Rage]

Background: Eli was born to Mary Benedict and Peter St. George. The problem was that they were both 19, unmarried, and living deep in the Bible belt. His mother was committed to a mental hospital one year after his birth and his father was forced to leave his home, taking Eli with him. He tried to bring Eli up as a good Christian, but life on the road was hard, and many sins had to be committed to survive. Eli was working 3 jobs when he was 16 years old, trying to support his father who had become an alcoholic. Each night he would come home to their apartment exhausted, get yelled/preached at by his drunken father, eat some fast-food, then go to sleep and wake up early the next day. One night, his father was drunker than usual and attacked Eli when he came home. Peter bound his hands with duct tape and began repeatedly dunking his head in the sink water while yelling about being baptized and God?s mercy. Eli almost drowned. When his father had tiered himself out, Eli tried crawling to the door, but his drunken aggressor was immediately upon him, punching him in the back of the head repeatedly until he blacked out. When Eli awoke, he found that his bonds were broken, and his dad was dead. His head had been slammed repeatedly between the door and the doorframe, cracking his skull and breaking his neck. Horrified, Eli fled.

After a long time, he managed to track down his mother and visit her in the mental hospital. The meeting only lasted 10 minutes. Eli tried to talk to her but the only thing she would say was, ?Holder of the Path?? [http://theholders.org/?The_Holder_of_the_Path ]. When he got up to leave she suddenly went wild. She jumped on his back and clawed at him with her nails screaming ?HOW DID THEY AQUIRE GAURDIANS?!". When the orderlies came in to detain her, she bit one of their ears off before they could use the Taser. Dazed and horrified, Eli went to the front desk to check out. Out of morbid curiosity, he asked the orderly ?Who is the Holder of the Path??. From that point on, he was a Seeker. Now his search for the Objects has led him to Lightless City, where more than Holders await.

Is this the first character to be based entirely around the mythos of a different creepypasta?

I didn't mean any offence. It's perfectly understandable that you wouldn't know about London's laws/views on carrying knives. I was just trying to help your character fit the setting better.

But if your response to minor contentions like this is to bail out, maybe it's for the best that you do that now rather than half-way through.

You spelled offense wrong. It didnt seem like you were trying to help me fit better, you seemed as though you were trying to pick a fight, and rather than engage in that with you, i'd rather just drop out.

I use non-USA spelling because I'm not from the USA.
And I wasn't trying to pick a fight. Why would I do that?
I was just pointing out a minor inconsistency, something which I never blamed you for missing.
It may have been pedantic of me, but I never imagined it would turn into a big deal.
In fact, I was fairly satisfied that you were in the right. So I dropped it.

Gah, so many people carrying penknives with them. I've edited it out of my character's sheet (if I need one, I only have to ask anyone else).

Hah, the funniest part is that in this kind of horror setting, it doesn't seem like a weapon (particularly a knife) would even be useful.
Any bad guy who can be defeated with a penknife is a pretty pathetic bad guy.

Yeah, I know. That's why I imagine people would start waving them at each other, rather than the shadows and monsters I wonder what kind of creepy pasta (Apart from those that apply to the title) there will be. Perhaps one of them can only be killed with a penknife? JK

What if he was defeated by ten guys with ten penknives? I think we might be in with a chance against the Slender man.

I have a couple of penknives in real life, but I always forget to bring them. Luckily, I very rarely have to dig bullets out of people's legs. It's kind of convenient that everyone remembers to bring theirs along for the RPG, but meh, never mind.

He doesn't really posses the abilities, it is just the Objects that have the properties. And the multiple personality disorder isn't so much a power as it is, well...a disorder.

Cain- This is the aggression personality. When Eli feels physically threatened to the point that he can?t handle it, he turns into Cain. When faced with a begging man, Cain would ignore him completely, but if threatened, he would strangle the man to death. Cain was developed as nothing more than a defense mechanism, and as a result, doesn?t know how to talk, though he can understand simple speech. He is much more formidable than one would immediately suspect, being able to beat two average size men into submission with only relative effort.

Solomon- The voice of reason. When a feat requires thought, reflection, planning, or mental fortitude, Solomon is there. He is a weary old man that walks with a limp, but is filled with wisdom from head to toe. If he met a begger, he would probably tell him the location of the nearest homeless shelter. Solomon was made to withstand the mental trials of the Holders, which he does with frankly amazing resilience.

Fears: The Holders, The Hunter of Rage [http://theholders.org/?Holder_of_Rage]

Background: Eli was born to Mary Benedict and Peter St. George. The problem was that they were both 19, unmarried, and living deep in the Bible belt. His mother was committed to a mental hospital one year after his birth and his father was forced to leave his home, taking Eli with him. He tried to bring Eli up as a good Christian, but life on the road was hard, and many sins had to be committed to survive. Eli was working 3 jobs when he was 16 years old, trying to support his father who had become an alcoholic. Each night he would come home to their apartment exhausted, get yelled/preached at by his drunken father, eat some fast-food, then go to sleep and wake up early the next day. One night, his father was drunker than usual and attacked Eli when he came home. Peter bound his hands with duct tape and began repeatedly dunking his head in the sink water while yelling about being baptized and God?s mercy. Eli almost drowned. When his father had tiered himself out, Eli tried crawling to the door, but his drunken aggressor was immediately upon him, punching him in the back of the head repeatedly until he blacked out. When Eli awoke, he found that his bonds were broken, and his dad was dead. His head had been slammed repeatedly between the door and the doorframe, cracking his skull and breaking his neck. Horrified, Eli fled.

After a long time, he managed to track down his mother and visit her in the mental hospital. The meeting only lasted 10 minutes. Eli tried to talk to her but the only thing she would say was, ?Holder of the Path?? [http://theholders.org/?The_Holder_of_the_Path ]. When he got up to leave she suddenly went wild. She jumped on his back and clawed at him with her nails screaming ?HOW DID THEY AQUIRE GAURDIANS?!". When the orderlies came in to detain her, she bit one of their ears off before they could use the Taser. Dazed and horrified, Eli went to the front desk to check out. Out of morbid curiosity, he asked the orderly ?Who is the Holder of the Path??. From that point on, he was a Seeker. Now his search for the Objects has led him to Lightless City, where more than Holders await.

Is this the first character to be based entirely around the mythos of a different creepypasta?

Seems that way. I don't think anyone has any special powers, as of yet.

He doesn't really posses the abilities, it is just the Objects that have the properties. And the multiple personality disorder isn't so much a power as it is, well...a disorder.

Ah, okay. I'm not familiar with The Holders mythos. I'm an SCP man myself.

Wow, I looked up the Lightless City and Holders mythos, and now I'm feeling like my humble barman is a little underpowered... This should be interesting.

I've just done a bit of reading, and have remembered why I wanted the American setting in the first place! Do any of the Americans here live around or in an area with easy access to remote, heavily forested areas?
