Okay, a definately workable concept, he may have trouble getting around though with a wheel chair.

So that's 3, I think I'll stop at around 8-10 characters.

Bermyduck, Fondant, did you two want me to keep spots open? I will definately do so if you get me character concepts soonish.

 

[killer8531]

i added a bit to it to match your concept to take a look

 

[ThePoodonkis]

Can I join in?

 

[PedroSteckecilo]

Yep, we're still in the "sign up" phase. So come up with your concept, I'll make comments and then give my approval, but as soon as you post your concept you're basically in. Next up I'll post "Da Rulez" for this RP, once I have some time to make them up...

[7dollarbill]

Name: Jacky "The Blade" Slade

Occupation: Alchoholic/Gambler EX. Bounty Hunter

Age: Forty-one years old.

Description: Jacky is a man of average height and build, his face showing signs of aging. Dark close cropped hair crowns his head but is often unseen due to the large black hat he often wears. A long brown trenchcoat hangs down to his shins, with bits of random metal fragments adorning the bottom. Undearneat it he wears a raggity dress-shirt and tattered and worn pants.

Motivation: The only thing that really motivates him to get out of bed in the morning is the oppurtunity to get back in it at the end of the day.

Personality: Jacky is painful to be around for most people. His sarcastic and pessimistic ways scaring most of them off, and his dark and often offensive humor pushing away the rest. The only time one might see a true smile on his face is when he's at the poker table, but then only when he's winning.(Which due to his expertise at "Leveling the playing field" is quite often) But around the right crowd he can be a riot.

Allegiances: Booze, money and women.

Fighting Style: Jacky often tries to talk his way out of fights, most of the time he can succeed. But he didn't earn his nickname as "The Blade" for talking. In his bounty hunter days he was known for his distaste for guns, often prefering to engage in hand to hand and flay his targets with a knife. He is an expert in the use of surgical weapons (Small knifes) prefering a good hunting knife in each hand over a cumbersom sword. He's also deadly accurate with a well balanced throwing knife; but only when he's had a few drinks. He's a little rust from his old days, as he dosen't get as much regular practice, but he's still not a good man to piss off.

Skills and Abilities: Knife fighting, knife throwing, card fixing(cheating), agility(Only after a good few drinks), perssuation, stealth and good bounty hunter instinct.

Deficiencies: Guns, explosives, black tech, staying sober.

Equipment: Dual sheaths on his hips each with an seven inch dualing blade. Two bandoliers hidden under his jacket holding several throwing knives. A hidden blade in his boot heel for catching victims off guard, and his favorite flask on his waist.

((You had description asking for personality aswell as the personality subject. I figured it was a typo maybe?))

((Ahh, someone else got the ole' boot heel blade too. ))

 

[PedroSteckecilo]

Just something to point out, I'm not big on dark characters and I tend to run light hearted, somewhat humorous games (in RL, this will be my first forum RP so bear with me), I don't mind moody characters, but this is a downright wacky universe at times.

EDIT:
Here is the rough turn structure. I will post a Turn Opener, which will be labeled as such and then everyone is allowed a single Turn, please label it so I know that this is your turn. Once EVERYONE has posted their turn I will respond, at which point everyone can react with another Turn. You may of course talk and plan IN CHARACTER ONLY during/between/after turns, but you are only allowed one TURN per post from the Game Master (myself). Hopefully this will work for everyone, any comments?

 

[7dollarbill]

Thats cool. I personally don't mind wacky, but you do need some moody guys to balance it out a little. Now when you say humor are you sayin slapstick or are you leaning towards Fallouts dark humor?

 

[Dcarty745]

Name: Carty
Occupation: Drink, and heavily at that.
Description: Now, in his mid forties Carty has seen much of the world. He is a drifter, an alcoholic, doing what he can to get booze. Because of this he has been involved with many illegal activities over the years. A grizzled,tall, and lanky man he is good with a six-shooter,even better with a couple of drinks in him. At that, he has been known to pull off crazy acrobatic and dangerous moves if he at least a gallon of alcohol. He normally has a very gruff personality and is not very approachable.
Motivation: Booze, and getting more of it.
Allegiances: Booze, wealth, power...
Fighting Style: At a distance, with a six gun. Or up close and personal, with a broken bottle.
Skills and Abilities: Fighting, Drinking (Can enter a Matrix-like focus mode with a gallon of booze in him...)
Deficiencies: Being a people person.
Equipment: Six gun, much ammo, booze, bulletproof vest
Summary: I am aiming for a Roland (the Dark Tower) like character, except much more dark and angry. Pedro you are welcome to change him in ways that you see fit.

 

[Dcarty745]

Shit,
I did not even notice 7 dollarbills character as I was writing. I normally make dark characters but is it possible you could make me a wacky, happy one Pedro?

 

[Conqueror Kenny]

I'm sure that I can fit in some crazy features during my stealing/sneaking.

 

[PedroSteckecilo]

Thats cool. I personally don't mind wacky, but you do need some moody guys to balance it out a little. Now when you say humor are you sayin slapstick or are you leaning towards Fallouts dark humor?

Not so much slapstick, mostly just weird humor and a lot of reference jokes, for example

A group of villains from one of my RL sessions is known as The Roxies, a group of all girl 80's rockers who use insturment themed weapons.

I also tend to have quirky NPC's with odd personality traits, funny accents etc. So in places it's similar to Fallout.

But of course I'll allow moody characters, I just don't want them ALL to be moody.

 

[7dollarbill]

Ah, so it's kind of like anime in the sense that it just gets downright weird at times. I'm totally cool with that haha.

P.S. My guy isn't really so much of a dark character anyway. He'll be wacky belive me, he just has a very black sense of humor.

 

[Conqueror Kenny]

ThePoodonkis and I have very similar characters. Do I seance an alliance here?

 

[ThePoodonkis]

possibly...

 

[PedroSteckecilo]

That's fine. I'll post some more character examples if anyone needs help adjusting...

For starters
Pedro Steckecilo
Bandit with a heart of gold, expert gunslinger, master of disguise and accomplished con artist. His personality is best described as spastic, jumpy and he often appears quite cowardly to those who don't know him.

Lone Wolf
A thoroughly insane Russian Gangster known for his twin desert eagles, his terrifying battle cry "oogi boogy boogy boo!" and his nearly unshakable stupidity.

Michael Beretta
An ex-cop turned bounty hunter who dresses like a rocker from the early 70's, carries a guitar on his back and pretends he's some sort of rock god, right down to the ego trips and womanizing (rarely recieved well).

 

[John Galt]

J. Galt

Age: 33

Bio: A small time slaver native to the area around Pre-War Tampa Bay. He's been cruising the desert for over a decade, rounding up whatever loners or tribals he comes across and selling them off at Federal Holding Pens. While not sadistic, he's got no qualms about kicking the teeth out of any of his merchandise. Occasionally he forgoes the government route and sells his wares to private citizens in exchange for the occasional Black Tech. At an even six foot, Galt has a charismatic presence about him and constantly wears the trademark drifter look of denim jackets, jeans, and boots. He's always accompanied by a ranch dog he stole when it was just a puppy. The dog can be frequently seen riding shotgun in the junker Galt carries his 'product' in.

Deficiencies: Not everyone likes a slaver, would be crushed if dog was killed
