Its actually illegal out here to 'live in the woods' - aka being Homeless. Cops will go to a reported 'site' and clear it out or take the person to jail. So I'd imagine the Mtn Man is known to the local cops. It is a SMALL town afterall.

It's illegal to be homeless?

*rolls eyes*

Only in America.. :P
If he owns a shack somewhere in the woods, he wouldn't be classified as homeless!  He'd have a home, but it'd likely to be a pain to get there without and off-road vehicle or on foot.

Yeah, I'd imagine Mountain Man comes in every now and again when he's got something wrong.

And to visit his friendly farm girl friend. :D

I think in the CS it said it was more like a hunting cabin in the woods he went to with his father so he's not homeless, just a recluse now. Sure he'd be known but being a small town, it could be more that they know and since he's harmless, leave him be.

Correct. The shack is actually a very nice two story log cabin. It's a summer retreat and hunting cabin that the family has own for a few generations.  While I'm not sure the exact legality of living full time in such a cabin, I imagine it's a lot different than just being a vagrant.

Name: Jessica Miller
Age: 24
Nationality: American
Job: Farmer
Address: The Miller’s Ranch - 398 County Road 132
Connected to: Andrew & Allison (Brother & sister), Edgar Lamont (Mountain Man)

About: Jessica grew up alongside her brother working the land. Jess and her brother were strangely best friends growing up, possibly alienating their younger sister at times with the age difference. The little patch of land their small, certified organic farm sits on was cleared and first developed by their grandparents. With their parent's long dead in a car accident, there was nothing left but the farm to work and make prosper.

Jessica became a mother figure to her siblings, drawing comfort from her brother, more so once Allison left UCLA.
Can die: Yes

GnothiSeauton

Name:  Claire Hendrickson

Age:  Twenty nine years of age

Nationality:  American

Job:  Police Officer (Lieutenant)

Address:  1353 Willow Brook Lane (Modest neighborhood)

Connected to:  Tim Phelps (Criminal she's had a few run ins with), Johnny Andrews (new coworker on the police force)

About:  Glenwood Springs has always been Claire's home.  She grew up in the town, and with a father who was a former chief of police, became surrounded and sucked into the life of law enforcement.  From a young age, it was all she ever wanted to be.  To make her hometown a safer and better place, to keep it peaceful and happy ha always been on her mind.  Even when her father died, it did nothing to deter her from her choice in becoming an officer of the law.  If anything, it only strengthened her resolve to make the town a better place, in his memory.

A serious officer, one who is good and tries to look out for the good guys, she puts effort and heart into her job and career.  She rose quickly through the ranks, becoming a lieutenant in the force at a relatively young age, and often sacrificing her personal life for others around her.

Can die:  Yes

GnothiSeauton and KingSerperior,

you both have police officers. This is fine but it means your characters know each other right? Just checking :)

The Millers look good.

Can't wait to meet the Millers :P

Is anybody else interested who hasn't posted a character yet?

*Nods*  I would assume so.  As Johnny is the 'new kid' on the block (only 2-3 weeks on the force), everyone should know him.

I am, I'll post him at some point today

Dashenka

Ideally I start the game off this weekend. Some of you have been patient for a long time already and I hate to keep you all waiting even more.

Just a quick poll...

Would you like to start with the dome coming down, the dome already down or a few days into the dome?
Out here in the fields, I fight for my meals and I get my back into my living.

I don't need to fight to prove I'm right and I don't need to be forgiven.

King Serperior

I would personally like to see the Dome come down early in the morning of the IC.  Let everyone get their opening posts up doing their everyday morning routine, then BAM!  The Dome comes down.....let's say around 10am?

Same that's how I saw my first post ...normal start to the morning then BANG not a normal start to the morning.
260916 Sigh, on the back end of my laptop dying last week and getting a new one delivered, we now have had some local flooding where I live....fortunately for me no major damage since my house is a few feet above ground, however my back yard looks like the swimming pool I don't have ...so might take a day or two to get back to posting

I'm of the same mind. Feeding the chickens. Bam! The Miller's place and Edgar's cabin would be closest. Assuming the cabin is in the hills above the farm.

Piling on with what everyone has already stated so far...  I'm in favor of starting just before the dome comes down.

Offers a chance to see how people are before it comes down and how it changes people.  Sort of to show the development of certain characters. A history thread might not be a bad idea either.

It's a bit further out. I'll try to make a map with a circle :)

I'm not for a History Thread since, as it is a small, tight-knit town, you can make references to events in the past while talking in the present.  Plus, there are at least two characters who don't live in the town, so the history thread would kind of exclude them a little.

People could embellish CS s with more history if need be. But I agree with KS it can be in post. Flashbacks even.

Not sure I know what that is? :D
Effectively, it is a 'Backstory Thread' where events before the main IC thread take place.  Since this game would focus on the interactions within the Dome, I am not certain that the past playing out at the same time would work.  That's just my two cents though.  It's up to you in the end  :)
