In an Alternate Earth

Sentinels and Guides – For as long as they have existed, one has needed the other to survive and function. Life as it has come to be known and understood has always heavily relied upon the guardianship and protection brought to it by the natural relationship existing between these to. Sentinels protect, Guides nurture, and wars are fought and won by the frightening militia force formed when using both. The same wars fought by these two would lead to the creation of a horror – The Empathy Bomb – that would eradicate thousands of Guides in an instant. Numbers, once high, dwindled. Now Guides are rare and Sentinel outnumber them a hundred to one.

The Tower oversees all Sentinel and Guides within their district, carefully policing them and their actions. Now, in a time of quasi-peace, bonded pairs are not consistently required for the military and Sentinel and their Guides may pursue different occupations. Some choose to become Hunters. Others police. Some choose to remain with their passion for the military or medical sciences. The world, and the options, are endless.

Life goes on, but always under the watchful eye of the Tower.

Will you, Sentinel, manage to find your Guide and bond? Guide, will you come out of hiding and accept your calling to be at your Sentinel's side? Or will either of you choose to aid in the fall of the oppressing presence of the Tower that controls your lives?

And what of you, Normal? You who are neither Sentinel nor Guide, but merely the average. Will you support the Tower, who has always protected you? Or will you side with the Rogues whose words are beginning to make sense?

The choice is yours.

Welcome to London, and enjoy your stay.

So What's it About?

Broken Bonds is essentially a game vaguely inspired by the television show The Sentinel that aired on UPN from 1996 until 1999. If anything, this game has been heavily influenced by the Alternate Universe work that has been constructed around the original idea. Don't know diddly about the show? That's great. Come play. It literally won't change a thing.

What you have at the core of this idea is pretty simple – There are three classifications of people (Sentinel, Guide, and Normal) that are open for play to potential players. What you need to know up front is that Sentinel have heightened senses, Guides calm their nerves through Empathy, and Normals are on the side living their lives as best they can in the midst of all this. The ever-looming figure in all three lives is the presence of the Tower, the facility that serves as Government and Military and oversees the training of Sentinel and Guides, and may be considered a headquarters of sorts.

Sentinel need Guides to survive - there is no getting around that. Guides provide their Sentinel a stability of mind, improved control over their heightened senses, and calm the bestial instincts that may otherwise take over in an Unbonded Sentinel. In this game, there is a distinctly low number of Guides turning themselves in (they are required, much as Sentinel, to turn themselves over to the Tower when they turn eighteen) and that is a big problem. Thanks to the Empathy bomb, the birthrate of Guides to Sentinel is about 1 to 100, so the need for Guides to be found and Bonded is significant. Un-bonded (meaning they have no Guide who is theirs and theirs alone) Sentinel are often sent on “Hunts” to claim these rogue Guides and bring them back. Sometimes rather forcefully...

And, of course, there is the undercurrent of resistance and rebellion against the Tower and its overarching Government to deal with. . .




This game, due to possible content, is located within the NC-Large Group section of Elliquiy. The Bonding aspect of Guides and Sentinel may not always go as predicted and may hold an undercurrent of Non-Consent to it. It may. I am not guaranteeing that it will. This is something that the two players must work out amongst themselves.

Rules & Regulations

The following are the rules and regulations set for Broken Bonds. Please read these thoroughly and understand that by applying it is implied that you understand what you have read and commit to it. While we attempt to keep these rules stagnant throughout the course of the game, if something begins to pose a problem we will make a rule about it and enforce it.

Disclaimer : We reserve the right to add rules as necessary.

• Be excellent to one another. Do not fight. Do not squabble. If an altercation between players occurs, please bring the matter to myself or your residential Co-GM who will periodically patrol the thread for me when I cannot. He and I will be perfectly happy to sort out the discrepancy between the players and arrive to the most fair and just solution allowed. Do not turn us into a broken family.
• Do not God Mod another player's character! Due to the nature of the characters it is easy to accidentally cross into this territory. Please do not control their actions. YOU control YOUR character. On that same tangent please do not make yourself invulnerable to everything. Nothing more boring than a “perfect” character.
• NO PLAYER CHARACTER MAY BE KILLED WITHOUT PLAYER'S EXPLICIT PERMISSION TO DO SO. There is no leeway to this rule. Don't do it.
• Never, EVER do something to a player's character they do not like. Consult with the player before making a decision that you think might be a bother to them, even if they list it as okay in their Ons and Offs. Communication is paramount between players! Please use it.
• Communication is important. If you are going to be gone longer than a day or two, please try to notify the GMs. We are very understanding about outside life – Trust us. I, myself, am a Full-Time student and the Co-GM works Full-Time as well. We are busy and sometimes it gets hectic. Everyone has lives. That is okay. But let us know so we're not missing you.
• You are not expected to post once a day. While it isn't expected of you, more posts are undoubtedly appreciated by your fellow players. However, if you know you are getting ready to leave for a week, we ask that you try not to get your character wound up in a plot that is going to change things drastically. That will bog all players and prove to be quite a pain. We ask that all players post, minimum, once a week. A single post within seven days isn't so bad, is it? Quicker is always better and preferred, though.
• Please have a good grasp of the English Language and Grammar Structure before applying. We fancy individuals that use complete sentences, full thought, and detail their posts with enough for another character to react to. I am not tying certain post lengths to this game, but I beg you not to use one to three line posts. That would be VERY difficult for another player to react to. Use your best judgment, but give enough for the players to respond to. Multi-Paragraph is best. Remember, a paragraph is a construction of thought usually ranging between three to five sentences.

_{Original Version of Broken Bonds was implemented, coded, and created by Faustus, as inspired by The Sentinel and the fanfic "Chameleon" by Velvetmace. Credit for 95% of this awesomeness lies with Faustus.}

On Sentinel and Guides

Please refer to the tables below for more detailed characteristics of Sentinel and Guides.

Sentinel : Characteristics, Statuses and Suggested Careers Characteristics Heightened senses – All five work in overdrive. It is not advised to use all senses at the same time as overload, referred to as Zoning, is easy to occur, especially without the presence of a Guide. Senses are comparable to animalia in strength. Greater reflexes – Sentinel will react faster and stronger than their average counterpart as their bodies are better equipped to handle the stress. Have spirit animal – While it may not always be visible, and is invisible to a Normal, the spirit animal is often present in their lives. It may serve as an aid but will often have difficulties interacting with the tangible world. Exists as an animal representation of the individual. Higher aggression rates and possessive tendencies – A Sentinel is more in-tune with their “animal” nature and may behave in a territorial manner that an animal might. Scent marking is especially common to state their territory to other Sentinel, primarily due to their heightened sense of smell. Statuses Available Bonded Sentinel – Has a Guide that they have bonded with. More level-headed than their Un-bonded counterparts, but has the downside of going everywhere with their Guide. Higher on the status chain. Un-Bonded Sentinel – Has no Guide to call their own. Will often be more aggressive and hot-headed. These sort will often compete with one another over a Guide, given the chance. Usually not as calm and collected as their Bonded comrades. Lower on the Sentinel hierarchy. Rogue Sentinel – The most feared of the three types, as the Tower has no control over them. May be Bonded, Un-Bonded, Calm, Aggressive. . Who knows? This sort has turned away from the Tower and participate in the Rebellion against it, while actively avoiding the Hunters sent out to pick them back up. Suggested Jobs and Careers Available Head Guide Hunter – This Sentinel has risen their way to the top through hard work and proved themselves in-touch with their senses to a frightening degree. They spearhead all of the Hunts for Rogue Guides (and sometimes Sentinel) and work closely with the Matchmaker when they are brought back. Virtually the head of the Tower. In many Towers, the Head Guide Hunter and the Matchmaker are Bonded. Positions Available : 1 Position Filled Military – As the title implies, this Sentinel serves the military portion of the Tower. They may be training to go to the front line or they may be back at the Tower to work on a Hunting Squad. Not to be confused with the Police Force for the Tower. Positions Available : Unlimited Police Force – Functions exactly as one would expect the police to except they follow Tower rules to a fanatical degree. These Sentinel are often the ones that get the first tip off about Rogue Guides or Sentinel and will alert the Tower to their presence for a Hunting Squad to be sent. Detectives and other basic cops fall under this jurisdiction. Positions Available : Unlimited Trainers – Train the new incoming Sentinel. Pretty basic idea there. Positions Available : 3 All Trainer Positions Filled Rogue – Sentinel that cast the Tower and their rules to the wind and now run with the resistance. A dangerous sort who are often shifty and unpredictable. Positions Available : Unlimited Government – No one wants a Guide or a Normal in a position of power, now do they? Government literally controls everything within the area via their comfortable position in the Tower. What they say often goes, so it isn't a half-bad gig if you can get it. Positions Available : 3 Other – Got an idea? Run it by me. Chances are you are NOT going to be denied.

Guides : Characteristics, Statuses and Suggested Careers Characteristics Emotion Sensory – Also referred to by society as “Empathy,” Guides are fully able to sense emotions in others. Training leads to it occurring in varying degrees, but it is the defining trait of what makes a Guide. Emotion Projection – Once trained, many Guides are able to actually project emotions onto others. They can send out feelings of joy or calm to help relax a fried Sentinel, or help them close their senses down to a manageable level again. It is this very gift that has made them so invaluable to Sentinel over the years. Emotion Manipulation – You've seen my face before. No, really, you totally have, I'm a normal not a Guide. Manipulating others into having certain feelings, sometimes used to disguise, is a trait reserved for only the strongest of Guides. Once they understand how to do it, though. . . Mental Exhaustion – Because they project feelings or absorb others, Guides will often become mentally exhausted. This shows up in the form of headaches from exertion, but can go so far as to have physical effects. Have spirit animal – Exactly as Sentinel have a spirit animal that aids them and is a representation of the self, a Guide also has one. They function in the same manner. Have different pheromone scent from Sentinel and Normals – The scent is usually only noticeable when around un-Bonded Sentinel and is their body's natural, chemical reaction to the Sentinel. On a basic, biological level all Guides seek to achieve a Bond, whether they like it or not. . This scent is what many Guide Hunters use to track them during Hunts. Statuses Available Bonded Guide – This sort of Guide has a Sentinel they have bonded to and are devoted to. They exist by their side at all times and aid their Sentinel through their days. If their bonded Sentinel agrees to it, a bonded Guide may still be used to calm other Sentinel if they require. Un-Bonded Guide – If an un-Bonded Guide has come forward of their own will, they are kept within the Tower and trained on how to be better Guides by those above them. They do not live in glamour, but they are safe at least. Un-Bonded Guides will eventually be given “interviews” with Sentinel in an attempt to facilitate a match. Rogue Guide – Guides that have refused to turn themselves in to the Tower and are trying to live their lives as they please in the outside world. The Tower views this sort of Guide as dangerous and requiring immediate attention, thus Hunts are staged to locate and bring them in. Suggested Jobs and Careers Available The Matchmaker – This Guide has risen to the highest position awarded and works hand in hand with the Head Guide Hunter. Their job is to take and analyze the Rogue Guides brought in for their strength level, then sort them appropriately. They are also in charge of finding suiting matches of Sentinel and Guides in an attempt to facilitate Bonds. In many Towers, the Matchmaker and the Head Guide Hunter are Bonded. Positions Available : 1 Position Filled Military – Though never on their own, Bonded Guides will be placed into the military alongside their Sentinel to help guide and protect them during their time. Strong Guides may be placed on Hunting Teams, but this is rare and highly discouraged by the Tower. Positions Available : Unlimited Trainers – Much as Sentinel need someone better than them to train with, Guide's need someone who understands and knows the ropes. These Guides will see to the new individuals being brought into the Tower for the first time and may drop hints to the Matchmaker with who they think may be a good Bonding Match. Positions Available : 3 2 Positions Available Doctors / Medical Staff – Though dissuaded from doing this as a career pursuit (the Tower would MUCH rather all Guides be bonded), Guides who have lost their Sentinel to unfortunate circumstances who have been judged as having a low chance of Bonding again by the Matchmaker may go into this field. They can still help Sentinel this way and feel useful, but remain safe and mandated by the Tower. Positions Available : Untilimted Rogue – These are presumed dangerous and must, at all cost, be brought back to the Tower. Tower Governmental Officials almost fear Rogues and want them all brought back no matter the cost. Many end up putting their allegiance with the resistance. Others simply try to hide and blend in with the Normals. Positions Available : Unlimited Other – Have an idea I haven't listed? Feel free to run it by me and ask if it's good for play. Chances are that I will say yes.

On Normals:

What about Normal Characters who are neither Sentinel nor Guide? In the midst of Guides with Empathy, and Sentinel with heightened senses, where does the Normal fit in? Won't a Normal Character be boring? A character is only as boring or as exciting as you make them! It should be mentioned that if you want a character who can move relatively freely, with little oversight, a Normal might be the right fit for you! Normals can have Tower or Resistance sympathies, or they may want nothing to do with either faction! If you're not sure about making a Normal character, let me point you towards some stellar examples of exciting Normal characters:

Briony Devon || Julian Peach || Roman Bettencourt || Colin Hart

A note on Character Types vs Gender and Roles: There seems to be a notion that all Guides must be submissive females or males, and that all Sentinel must be dominant males or females. I would like to debunk this particular assumption. A Guide may be male or female with dominant or submissive or switch tendencies. A Sentinel may be male or female with dominant or submissive or switch tendencies.

While Sentinel often tend to display a bit more aggressiveness, due to their inherent animalistic tendencies, this does not require them to be dominant. While Guides may be able to read and to an extent manipulate their empathy, this does not require them to submit to another's will. For a good example of playing against type, I'll link here to a Sentinel and Guide pairing that don't necessarily fall into their "expected" roles.

Basically, YOUR CHARACTER can behave however you wish, be whatever gender you wish, and whether they present as Sentinel, Guide or Normal is entirely up to you! Your character can also be whatever sexual orientation you wish - just be aware that this is a LGBT-friendly game, so even if your character isn't gay, lesbian, bi or trans, there are several characters who are.



Current Character Needs: Guide Submissions are now Open on a Limited Basis: We need a few very specific types of Guides at current and will no longer be accepting anything outside the specified parameters.

Positions Open:

• Guide Trainer (Guide)
• Guide Hunters (Sentinel)
• Guide Care Assistant (Normal) (junior or senior position)
• Any position - Seeking the fanatically loyal to the Tower (Sentinel/Normal)
• Members for the Siege Resistance faction (Guide/Sentinel/Normal)
• Fanatical Resistance members (Sentinel/Guide/Normal)

Character Sheets

There are few rules in regards to the actual Character Sheet system. Take just a second to read the following, then feel free to enjoy yourself and create your character!

• Play only as many characters as you can handle. I'd suggest starting with no more than two per person, then progressing on as you feel comfortable. The maximum amount of characters any one player may take on is seven. No player may have a greater amount of Guides than other types of characters at any given time, so if you have two characters, they may NOT both be Guides.  Remember, Guides are fewer in number at this point, so we don't need an imbalance in their favour.
• Please make your character image NO LARGER than the suggested image in the application. If you need help resizing, I will be happy to assist you. Just PM the image to Dotley and she will fix it!
• It should be noted that Guides are meant to be outnumbered by Sentinel, not the other way around. We would like a greater number of Sentinel or, at least, an equal number to Guides, otherwise this might look a little strange. . .
• Spirit Animals should be real animals that exist in today's world. If you wish your character to have a spirit animal that has recently gone Extinct, a member of the species has to have been alive at the time of the Sentinel or Guide's birth. (For example, Golden Toads were last seen in 1989 - if your character was born prior to that year, it could, in theory, be their spirit animal.)
• GM Team Request: Given the rate of murdered Guides in our current batch of Character's histories, the GM's would like to request that you refrain from implementing this particular trope in your own character bio. Exceptions will be made rarely on a case-by-case basis.

Character Sheets should be PM'ed to Secondary Co-GM's Emmykins and Dotley. They will then forward the CS to myself (Stygia) with notes intact. Please don't be surprised if you recieve suggestions for modifications to help flesh out your character, or changes to help them better fit within the constraints of the world.

Player Username : Mostly a notation for the GMs, but what is your Elliquiy username?
Player Preferences : This is an LGBT friendly game and I need to know ahead of time if you have a problem with playing opposite LGBT characters, male characters played by females and vice versa. If you are uncomfortable with this, please let us know.
Sentinel and Guide Preferences : If applying to play a Sentinel or a Guide, we ask that you state if you are comfortable with being Bonded to someone of the same sex or opposite sex only. Please remember, not all Bonds are sexual and may be platonic. If you have distinctions (will only do opposite-sex sexual Bonding, but same-sex Bonding is fine if platonic), please alert as well. When it comes time for matching we want it to be the best possible!

Full Name : As much as is applicable for your character!
Codename and Nicknames : Codename only applicable for Sentinel and Guide characters. Normals have no need to worry about it, unless pursuing a career where one would be required. Feel free to explain the reasoning, if you want, behind a nickname or codename!
Age and Birthdate : Pretty obvious here.
Gender : Male? Female? Trans? Genderqueer? Non-Binary? Go for it!
Marital Status : Single? Married? Divorced? Yes, Guides and Sentinel may be married before Bonding, but there is a sticky situation about that. . .

Sentinel, Guide or Normal? What is your character? If Sentinel or Guide, are you already Bonded?
Occupation : What does your character do for a living? See the section on suggested jobs and careers for some suggestions. Normals, you have the world at your fingertips. Go crazy.
Alliance : Do you ally with the Tower? Or are you a member of the resistance against it?
Spirit Animal : Applicable for Sentinel and Guide characters, not Normals. What animal is it that best represents your character? What is it they see?

Height : Simply put, how tall is your character?
Body Type: Skinny, Buff, Built, Chubby, etc. Detail as much as you desire.
Hair : Colour? Style?
Eyes : Colour
Distinguishing Features : Any tattoos, piercings, scars, etc. that may be unique to your character should be listed here.
Anything else? If the character image you have chosen to use is absolutely perfect /except/ they need to have a lip piercing, note that! Or if their hair is styled differently. Wrong fashion? Whatever you need to correct with the character image, note that. Anything you believe we forgot in terms of appearance, feel free to note that as well.

Likes : What does your character like? Name a few things to help us get to know them.
Dislikes : What is your character less-than-fond of? Give us a few examples.

Personality : Here is where we really get to learn about them as a person. Attempt to shoot for two, good and solid paragraphs, ideally describing how your character shows themselves to the world, and the personality hidden beneath that, if their "game face" is different than what's going on beneath the surface.

History : What is your character's history up to this point in their lives? You can be vague, but try to give us things to work with. Be creative with the history and enjoy writing it! Please go for two paragraphs minimum.

Sexuality : Please give us your character's sexuality. It is open to change throughout the course of the game and does not need to remain static unless you want to.
Sexual On's : Put simply, you may name a few of your character's greatest YES PLEASE items. You may simply directly link us to your own Ons and Offs if you do not feel like typing this section out.
Sexual Off's : These are your hard-limit NO'S with your character. You may directly link us to your Ons and Offs if your character's hard-limit no's happen to coincide with your own.
Are you comfortable with Non-Consensual Activities with your character? What I am asking here is simple : If the situation arises, are you alright with your character being involved in a NC activity, either being on the receiving or giving end? It is given that any player would PM you checking about it, but you may want to include "PM first" to ensure they understand to check in about that. You will not be denied for your answer, nor will you be forced to participate in this if you state no. All trigger-worthy items during the game will be tagged appropriately if they appear at all.
Are you alright with sexual activities beyond your character's stated sexuality? In some cases, a player may list their character as "Heterosexual - Straight", then allow them to have a Homosexual experience. While their CHARACTER may not explicitly want it to begin with, the PLAYER is okay with it. What we are asking is if you, the player, are comfortable with this or if what you put for your character is ALL you want. You will not be denied for your answer, nor will you be forced to participate if you state no.

Anything Else? If you think something should be noted that I did not have listed above, please feel free to add it here! You may also use this as a section to communicate with us about issues you may potentially have as a player or other items.

It looks like a lot of information and a big game but we've got an amazing group of welcoming writers! Come and play!

~leaves cookies as a lure~

[Countdown]

Is there any interest from Female Sentinels having a Male Guide that are obviously not bonded yet?
Just checking before I start writing stuff up!

[Caela]

I would say that it would probably depend on the character you made up and if any of the writers felt that he would mesh well with their Sentinels. We have very few characters that are absolutely, totally, and utterly against the idea of Bonding, but many that are rather wary of it.

[Cerevan]

There are in fact a number of unbonded female Sentinel open to male Guides, both Tower and Resistance affiliated, to include: Celestine Parker, Skylar Fawkes, and Jospheine Worthington. While not all of these ladies may be compatible with what you have in mind, this should give you an idea of the variety that Broken Bonds has. :-)

Also, since Caela sort of beat me to the punch...there are obvious compatibility things on both sides when it comes to something like a Bond. Obviously you'll have to communicate with the other players on this end. ;) But, I doubt that you will have too much trouble finding interested parties assuming you write up a character.

[Caela]

lol Suuuuuuuuuuure Cere, go and be all kinds of more thorough than me!

[AngelOfDarkness]

This actually look interesting

[shii]

This actually look interesting

It actually is darling  ;D

I have played nothing else for months... o . o

[Kokaine]

*Taps the mic*

Ahem... this thing on?

For anyone taking a peek in here I am actually looking for a male guide for my spray paint wielding sentinel skater girl, Skylar Fawkes. Have a look HERE and if you're interested just drop a line here or PM me :)

[Stygia]

Potential new players: please note that as we fill up on guides once more, I will be significantly more picky about which ones I approve. As noted above, guides are meant to be rare. Also note, I'm more likely to approve a guide if you're making them for a particular sentinel, and have communicated with the player in question.

Edit 6/21: Guide Submissions are now Closed. Those of you who have already spoken to me about your pending Guide Characters (RogueFairy & Countdown) are still fine, but any other inquiries will be directed towards playing a Sentinel or Normal character. Thanks!

[Bloodied Porcelain]

Are you still accepting?

[Stygia]

Hi BP! Yes! We are still accepting Sentinel and Normal characters. Do let us know if you have any questions :)

[Caela]

BP!!! Come and play with us!!!  ;D

[Bloodied Porcelain]

I tried to get people to talk me out of it... all they did was the opposite of what I asked. My friends are bad listeners. xD

[Kokaine]

I tried to get people to talk me out of it... all they did was the opposite of what I asked. My friends are bad listeners. xD

Pfft. Your friends sound like they are intelligent and wise beyond their years!

[Caela]

I tried to get people to talk me out of it... all they did was the opposite of what I asked. My friends are bad listeners. xD

I will agree with Koka and add that it sounds like they only want what is best for you! ~nodsnodsnods~

[Asher]

I am interested. :) Are there a lot of military? Or little trainers? My character could fit into ether one. :)

[Dotley]

Hello Asher! Thanks for stating your interest. Let us know if you have questions or need any help figuring out a character to submit  :-)

[Asher]

*Points back up to his pervious post* I do actually! I didn't notice someone had replied and didn't want to double post. :)

[Cerevan]

In terms of Sentinel Trainers, I believe we're pretty full up. However, we do welcome military personnel. ;) There are a few others who are military, so you'd have people to play with in that capacity.

[Asher]

Fantastic. Military was my first choice, but I am used to a lot of people making militaristic characters when they have a choice. :)

[Dotley]

Cerevan is right that we are totally full on Sentinel trainers  :-)

[Asher]

Okay, I should have him up later "today". I just need his history and likes/dislikes. Plus some touching up of things. :)

[Stygia]

Be sure to PM your character to Dotley and Emmykins for review, once he's ready. They will then send your boy on to me for the final approval/suggestion/adjustment period. Once your character is approved, you may post him up in the accepted character thread.

Thanks!

[shii]

If anyone is interested I have a Resistance aligned guide who I would like to find a Sentinel for. I am looking for someone who is willing to do D/s , Non-con and of course a very heated Romance between the characters. PM me if your interested!  ;D

Aster Richard Black

Guide,Resistance,Unbonded

Platonic or Sexual Bond? I would prefer a sexual bond with this character.

Sexuality : Bi. If it’s a woman she needs to be bold, hands on, unafraid, shamelessly playful, witty, and have a strong desire to make Aster her man and keep trying until she does.

If it’s a male he needs to be patient, loving, Dominant, persistent, bold, hands on, and willing to keep trying even if he gets “bitten” by the wolf he seeks to tame.

Either way it will take time for Aster to consent to a bond so your in for a chase ;)

Specific Traits a Bond should have : I would like them to be Tower aligned. I want to explore the aspect of forbidden love and the two very different worlds they come from. Star crossed lovers, they met in the middle of two powerful forces bigger than themselves. Does love conquer or will the fires of war burn them all? What happens if Aster is captured and brought in for questioning? Will his lover save him? Perhaps offering to bond the rouge guide and control him in exchange for his life? Could his lover watch him die, tortured in the depths of the Tower? Could Aster ever forgive his lover for not letting him die first rather than bond? These are possibilities I have in mind for this bond. It will be a very strong bond  with passionate romance but it will be a bit chaotic and a power struggle as aster tries to reconcile his beliefs with how he feels for his lover/partner.

I was thinking they could keep meeting up randomly like at the grocery store, the park, a restaurant or bar and slowly the relationship deepens. Maybe your sentinel character asks him out to dinner eventually? Your sentinel's persistence pays off as Aster falls in love with them. However Aster's kept a secret; he's actually the dangerous masked resistance man who has been causing all that trouble and who your character has been hunting all this time. Now it makes sense those times your character could have been killed by the masked man but oddly the man staid his hand.

If your up for this sort of thing let me know!
Non-Romantic: Resistance members to get up to resistance stuff. ;D
Seeking : Friends, rivals, hunters to hunt him, enemies, people to convince to join him.
Time and Place : In London pretty much.

Describe the Scene : A guide hunt would be great! Have a sentinel hunter but haven’t had a chance to hunt down a guide yet? try him he will give you a proper run for your money. It would also be a great way to establish a hunter/hunted relationship with not so easy prey.

Resistance people, it would be awesome to meet up and have a sit down and perhaps heated discussion about what can be done about the Tower.

Friends, can he crash at your place? things got a little hectic last night and he needs a place to stay to let it blow over how about it?

[icecradle]

*pops in to read info*

[Dotley]

Heya icecradle! Let us know if you have any questions  :-)

[Stygia]

-clings to ice-

Is your muse back, darling?

[icecradle]

Heya Dotley, thanks =)

Yes Stygia, in spades. XD

[icecradle]

question: are sentinels and guides sort of predestined for each other or can any sentinel and guide bond, or is it somewhere in between, where they are more suited to some than others?

[Dotley]

Heya icecradle! We've received a question similar to this before so I'll link you to what both Stygia and myself had to say about it  :-)  I think this should answer your question though if you'd like any further elaboration or clarification on something let us know. I'll just also add that it is definitely possible for a Guide or Sentinel to bond again after losing their first bondmate. We have various Guides and Sentinel in game who have been widowed as part of their backstory.

I'd say to a Guide or Sentinel with super high compatibility that bond it might seem like they are total soulmates and were born only for each other, destiny and fate and etc. But it's really just a case of the Guide and Sentinel having a rare super high compatibility with each other. Compatibility kinda works on a scale, and as for what makes low or high compatibility between Sentinel and Guide - so far it's kinda been left vague so we're free to determine compatibility levels between our Guide and Sentinel characters.

As for the 'just any will do' - considering the current climate of very low Guide birth rates it has become increasingly common in some cases for Sentinel to make bonds with Guides that they aren't truly compatible with simply out of desperation. While our PC Sentinel have a great chance at making a bond our NPC/background Sentinel in the setting of the world are looking at a birthrate of 1 Guide to every 100 Sentinel. So it's almost guaranteed that most Sentinel won't ever get the chance to bond. So I can definitely see certain Sentinel considering any Guide to be good enough, since any Guide might seem better than no Guide.

As far as the Bonding urge goes, there is no "one true Bondmate" There is a compatibility scale, and Guides and Sentinel can most easily attain a Bond with one another when they have high compatibility. Low compatibility pairings are generally not happy pairings, and they may experience difficulty when physicallly separated from their Bondmate. (I'll stop here, since Dotley has explained it far more eloquently than I currently have the brain to do so)

Regarding the benefits, it's primarily an instinctual draw. Sentinels need Guides, because without them, they're at risk of Zoning due to their incredibly strong senses. A Guide will help the Sentinel keep control as well as provide emotional/empathic support. Can a Sentinel survive without a Guide? Many do, but they don't flourish. For some of them, it takes every ounce of will they have to keep their senses at bay for day to day living. Lots of Sentinel have gone mad, or committed suicide because the strain became too much.

Guides need Sentinels, though their need isn't as pronounced as the Sentinel. Guides tend to feel an instinctive urge to soothe Sentinels and help ease back their senses with their empathy. They provide a...sort of barrier between the world and the sensory synapses in the Sentinel's brain. Can a Guide survive without a Sentinel? Yes, but they'll live with the sensation that some part of them is unfulfilled. Whether or not they choose to ignore that inner emptiness is dependent upon the Guide's own sense of self.

When Bonded, a Guide will instinctively know when their Sentinel is pushing their senses too far, or when they need to be soothed. A Sentinel will instinctively know when their Guide is in danger or needs protection. The mental link between a Bonded pair is based on empathy, so they can't speak mind-to-mind, but they can feel each other's emotions on a much deeper level than even what the guide would be able to delve into on their own.

Hopefully that helps. Let me know if you need further clarification.

[icecradle]

that's very helpful thanks.

I am thinking of playing a young male, gay/bi sentinel, in training? Would something like that fit your current cast of characters? I started reading through the accepted list and woah there's so many o.o So.. I might be a while xD

[Stygia]

There's always room for more sentinel trainees in the tower, if you're leaning that direction. :)

Do let us know if you have other questions. I know it's a big world, and a bit overwhelming,  but everyone in the game is amazingly friendly and helpful.

[shii]

Hi Ice! *tackles*  ;D

So, I updated my Want Ad to make it more clear as to what I'm looking for.

[icecradle]

[Stygia]

Broken Bonds is currently accepting Guide applications for a brief period of time.

Only 3 Guides will be approved at this point in time. We would prefer that any submitted Guides have an alliance (no "neutral" characters) and be made with a currently-existing Sentinel in mind to be Bonded to.

It is also strongly preferred that one of the Guide applicants choose to come in as a Guide Trainer.

All character sheets should be PM'ed to Dotley and Stygia for review by September 1st. Not all submitted Guides will be approved if more than two applications are received. If your Guide is rejected, don't take it personally. It's not an attack against your character or creativity.

Sentinel and Normal character slots remain open at this time.

[Nico]

I seriously have to move my lazy butt and actually read though the rules and stuff one of these days. ~lazy Nic is lazy~

[Stygia]

Please do, Nic. We'd love to have you :)

[Dotley]

We really would so move that lazy tush Nic  ;)

But in all seriousness please let us know if you have questions after you read up. As a co-GM I'm always happy to answer questions or help out in any way I can. 

[Bloodied Porcelain]

I'd love to submit my second character as a guide.

[Nico]

~laughs~ I'll try to do some reading today. And probably bug the shit out of Dot.
  >:)

I wanted to check it out for like... you know, months already.  XD

I'd love to submit my second character as a guide.

Go right ahead Porcelain! I'll be accepting Guide applications through September 1st

*sets out cookies for prospective new players*

My unbonded, unaligned Sentinel Raisa is in need of someone sexy to play against. She's wild, she's feral, she's passionate, she's completely untamed. Come and get her. :)

[BitterSweet]

Looking to make a difference?  Join the Tower Police Force! 

My expatriate character Paulo is looking for fellow cops to chase bad guys with.  There’s a potential serious criminal case coming up, as well as plenty of opportunities for day-to-day cop work.

In Broken Bonds, the Tower Police deal with Sentinel or Guide related crimes from investigating domestic disturbances to drug deals and Guide trafficking.  They are also the iron fist in the kevlar glove that the Tower uses to keep the populace in line so you can also expect to be doing a certain amount of unjust harassment of freedom fighters and idealists protesting Tower abuses.  The Resistance is also fairly organized in London, and the police occasionally deal with them as well.  This role is a great place for players who like to do plotty-investigative type things, with a nice dose of moral quandary thrown in.

Want to play a naive new officer who hasn’t seen the ugly side of the Tower yet?  We can knock that innocence right out.

A jaded officer who’s been assigned to the new guy’s squad as a punishment?  Paulo would like to butt heads with you!

A Normal resenting the easy path to promotion and perks that Sentinel get?  Why is that a problem?  Sentinel are better suited, my weaker, dimmer friend. ;)

Characters are likely to be Sentinel or Normals.  The only Guides in the force are bonded to police Sentinel - unbonded Guides are delicate little flowers and need to stay safe in the Tower.  Really.

Scary uniforms and jack-boots provided at no extra charge.

[bubby]

Hrm....

*Ponders a return.*

I could possibly bring back Saara. Wouldn't need to change much really.... and I'm oh so good at 'butting heads'. ;) What say you GM's? Your decision.

[Stygia]

Of course you're welcome back, Bubby! I'll PM you with the things that have changed since you left us.

[Stygia]

The Tower is in need of new medical staff! Doctors, geneticists and scientists are all welcome! This is a place your Normal character could really shine! PM Dotley or Stygia if you have questions.

[Bloodied Porcelain]

BB needs more straight (or at least preferential to females) men! Step right up, gents, we have cookies!

Raisa O'Connell

Sentinel,  Unaligned/Rogue,  Unbonded

Non-Romantic, Romantic, or One Night Stand Plot? Any!
Seeking : Any, really. Raisa is unaligned because I want to play out her encountering members on both sides and going wherever she feels the most appealing path to be. It should be noted, however, that if the plot is going to be romantic or a one night stand type thing, the character in question must be dominant and able to top her, or else she’s liable to break them.
Time and Place : Anywhere in London. Raisa lives out of her car, so she is sort of on the move at all times and so can be found anywhere. At the moment it is for certain that she’s been participating in cage matches to make money, though, so that’s a convenient place to find her.
Describe the Scene : Open
Anything else? I will generally only post a couple times a week at max, as I am currently GMing one rather active game and co-GMing two others, I'm also in several games. My weeks are devoted to my groups, but weekends tend to be reserved for my solos/relaxing. I’m really open to just about any and all possibilities because she’s such a new character, so just PM me and let’s get to plotting! Connections that are already being plotted for Raisa are: Cavan (future employer), Felix (future “friend” with benefits).


Sexual Bond? Sexual preferred though like everything, I am willing to consider something else if the storyline is good.
Sexuality : Hetero bond preferred, though a bond with a female or trans guide is possible if they bring the right personality to the table.
Specific Traits a Bond should have Raisa’s bond should be with a strong guide… one who has a personality and physicality dominant enough to back it up. Her Sentinel tendencies leave her wild and untamed, almost animalistic at times, which means that she generally will only respond to someone strong enough to “tame” her. In most instances, a gentler touch will do little more than bore her and the lack of excitement and appeal to her animal instincts will turn her off.

[Bloodied Porcelain]

Avalyn Moriah Somerset

Guide | Tower Alligned | Unbonded

Non-Romantic, Romantic, or One Night Stand Plot? Non-Romantic or Romantic
Seeking: Any, though any romantic plots I would prefer an unbonded male sentinel for.
Time and Place: Anywhere on Tower grounds.

Describe the Scene: Avalyn has been living within the Tower’s custody for just over a year, since the death of her first (and so far only) Sentinel. The first few months she was there, few people were even aware of it, as she was kept quarantined due to her grief causing her to lose control over her empathy. Now that she has regained her control and it has been a year, the Tower is allowing her more free access to their facilities, especially the medical department, where she is a research specialist and doubles as a doctor.

Anything else?: Looking for anything… friends, lab rats, unbonded Sentinel eager to attract a guide (please note she’s not actually wanting to bond, but I enjoy the idea of making her uncomfortable and possibly finding her a bond mate against her determination to never bond again), other guides curious about the new girl with three PhDs… really anything! Avalyn is incredibly socially awkward, so don’t expect her to flirt incessantly or anything like that.




Non-Romantic, Romantic, or One Night Stand Plot? Non-Romantic
Seeking: Guide Trainer (Tower Aligned)
Time and Place: History

Describe the Scene: Avalyn comes from a wealthy, influential noble family. Her powers manifested when she was 13 in an extreme, uncontrollable manner. She obviously had a lot of power and potential, but no way to control it. Her family would have taken to donating regularly to the Tower in order to obtain a guide trainer to make regular visits to try to work with Avalyn, even after her bonding at the age of 16. Most likely the training wouldn’t have been too necessary after she turned 17/18, but it would be nice to have a connection established prior to her entry in to the game.

Anything else?: Avalyn also spent several months after coming to the tower just over a year ago in quarantine, kept away from normals and sentinals as her grief over the loss of her sentinel caused her to lose control of her gifts. I would love to have other guides who were brought in to see her/work with her during that time.




Platonic or Sexual Bond? Sexual preferred, though platonic is a possibility with the right person.
Sexuality: As of right now, Avalyn isn’t entirely aware of her sexuality, though she does know she finds men attractive. Due to her history and high-society upbringing, she actively tries to deny any impulses for those of the same (or any non-male) sex.
Specific Traits a Bond should have: This is open, though a Sentinel would need to be dominant and not easily made to feel inferior or intimidated by her intelligence. Someone who would allow her to go back to medical school would be a definite bonus.

-waves- Halloooo!
So, Cerevan ever so gently nudged me towards this board. Because she's evil.  >:)

There is probably somewhere I can go for this information, BUT I was wondering what exactly you guys are most in need of as far as Sentinels, Guides, and Normies go? I'm fairly flexible, and for the two characters I have I'm leaning towards one of them being a Sentinel and the other being normal. :P But, if for some reason there's a need for guides, I'd be more than happy to do that. :P

[Stygia]

Hi Jet!  A friend of Cerevan's is a friend of ours, for sure! :)

We are currently doing pretty well on our numbers for each type of character, but Normals are always fairly low. We currently have 23 Sentinel, 17 Guides and 7 Normals. We've had a pretty recent influx of Guides and Sentinel for the Tower though, so if you were interested in making a Rogue/Resistance character of any type that would definitely be welcome.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

[Dotley]

Cerevan directed you towards us? That luscious fox. Thanks for stopping on by!  :-)

It’s always exciting when someone expresses interest in creating a Normal as they’re the minority in our cast list. A Sentinel and Normal character would be most welcome. And as Stygia as stated we would definitely be thrilled to see some characters aligned with the Resistance.

If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask!

Woot woot! Thank you both. :D Definitely was thinking of going in the "rogue"/Resistant direction of things. I'm excited.

Question(before I get too far ahead of myself): So, would it be realistic to say that /if/ a sentinel character of mine got into a tussle with a npc police force type person - perhaps leaving said police person guy severely injured or possibly dead - would the Tower opt to do away with her or keep her around if she showed enough promise and/or if her super sexy man-friend with lots of medical expertise and knack at tinkering offered up his help to the Tower to keep her alive?

PLUS! tempting little tid-bits

[Bloodied Porcelain]

UNNNF! *grabby hands* Can haz? :D

[jetblackmirror]

UNNNF! *grabby hands* Can haz? :D

>:)
Possibly. Maybe.

::)

[Stygia]

It's hard to say without more specifics, but I'd have to say that it would depend on the presentation of said NPC. Sentinel are given a lot of leeway so long as they wear a Tower badge, so if it were a Normal she injured, and she pledged to reform her ways and work for the Tower, there's a decent chance it would be overlooked. If she were a rogue, or if the NPC were a Sentinel, then it would be significantly less likely, and would probably put the rest of the Sentinel police force on her tail. They don't look kindly on cop-killers. ;)

-strokes chin-
blerrrrgh. So many ideas i has, precious!

Basically - in my brain - I would like her (well, the both of them, really) to have been a pain in the ass for quite sometime. Her being a rogue Sentinel, and him trying his best to help her out. But, short of finding her a Guide or getting her addicted to Guidine(which, obviously not a good idea) he's running out of ideas to try and help calm her when it's obvious she's not getting any better with uh... ~dealing~ with feelings and things. breaksalotofshit. breaksalotofpeople. Ya know? XD

I suppose Mr. NPC guy could be Normal. Confronts her and she rage-quits on him. More cops show up, Sexy-man-friend-whom-really-needs-a-name shows up, gets her to calm her shit a bit and talks her into just going with them - which she does so very reluctantly. XD

-cough- Sorry, that mostly seemed like I was talking to myself, I think. But I guess what I'm trying to ask is: Is that a Yay or Nay possible scenario?  :P

[Vael the Destroyer]

So, Jet turned me on to this game since Cerevan turned her onto it. I really like the plot of this game, very unique. So, I was wondering if ya'll had any need for an attractive Irish Rogue Sentinel? I'd be more than happy to fill that role. ;)

Well, I am just beyond thrilled. :) Getting something ready as we speak.

Since this is an alternate universe, would the Irish Republic Army still be a thing? In the past at least?

[Stygia]

I *think* so, but I'll have to check with Cerevan on this, since she's the only other one with an Irish character and has done the research/history on that particular point in history. I'll check with her and let you know.

[Cerevan]

Well, I am just beyond thrilled. :) Getting something ready as we speak.

Since this is an alternate universe, would the Irish Republic Army still be a thing? In the past at least?

Aw hellz yes. When you get him/her working send them toward my Cavan Talbot. He's uniting all the sexy Irish rebels under one flag. By which he means his flag. The IRA and it's subsections were active previously. And some are still present, if not as active as they once were.

You got to it before I could even message you x3 So prompt <3

This is good to know. Thank you, love. Finn doesn't play well with others, though. Unless he's getting something out of it, like money or a lot of sex.

Cere isn't the only one with an Irish character, just fyi. Raisa is from Ireland as well, and close enough to the border that she's seen the troubles and been affected by them.

Player Username : AShatteredSymphony67
Player Preferences : I enjoy people of all genders/sexualities.
Sentinel and Guide Preferences : Same or Opposite-sex bonding is okay. Same-sex bonding only when it's more than platonic though.

Full Name : Finneas Elwynn Riordan
Codename and Nicknames : Codename - Irish Nicknames - Finn, Irish, Prick
Age and Birthdate : Age: 23 Birthday: October 25th
Gender : Male
Marital Status : Single

Sentinel, Guide or Normal? Sentinel - Unbonded
Occupation : Rogue Sentinel
Alliance : Resistance Allied
Spirit Animal : Ailurus fulgens - Red Panda, and his name is Jake.

Height : 5’11”
Body Type: Slender, however has a good amount of muscle. Slightly toned, almost swimmers build.
Hair : Dark Blonde/Light Brown, short on the sides and longer up top. Always styler messy.
Eyes : Blue. Sometimes vibrant blue, sometimes dark, almost sapphire blue.
Distinguishing Features : Gorgon tattoo on left side of neck, stars down his right forearm, and a sleeve going down his left arm.
Anything else? Gauged piercings in both ears instead of just the left.

Likes : Smoking (cigarettes and marijuana), Chinese food, Cats, Being left alone, Occasional hookups (almost every night)
Dislikes : Mexican cuisine, Annoying people, Crank, Crack, Heroine, The IRA, The Tower, Damsels, His father (Liev Riordan)

Personality : Finn is a stoic guy. Most of the time he’s quiet since he isn’t a big fan of talking, mostly because he doesn’t like arguing with people since his anger issues tend to get out of hand and breaking someone’s nose isn’t one of his favorite things to do if he can avoid confrontation. Though despite his usually stoic demeanor, Finn feels very deeply, he just tends to keep those feelings to himself which is a lot of the reason why he doesn’t have any friends or a stable lover. Usually Finn can be found with a cup of coffee in one hand and a cigarette dangling from the other. It’s only because stimulants keep him more docile and less likely to freak out on anyone.

Finn doesn’t play well with others since he has a very abrasive way of speaking. He swears more than a sailor and drinks as heavily as one, so on the off chance that he isn’t cussing someone out he’s usually too drunk to care. Finn also loves a good fight. To him there’s nothing more disappointing than a fight that builds up and seems like it’s going to be good but is over before he can have any real fun. The excitement he feels from fighting is better than any tumbler full of whiskey or perfectly rolled joint, and it shows on his face when he is fighting. His eyes usually turn to a deep, sapphire blue and he actually smiles for once, other than scowling or looking unamused by everyone and everything.

When it comes down to it, Finn isn’t a bad guy though he has a mercenary state of mind. If he finds someone he likes enough to spend time with, it’ll usually be a large chunk of his time. Finn is lonely, and wants someone to help him overcome that, however it has to be a specific person that can deal with his heavy drinking/smoking, swearing, and occasional mood swings.

History : Finneas was born in Belfast, Ireland to a wonderful mother named Irena, and a strict, overbearing father named Liev. For almost half of his life, he was raised in Belfast, alongside his mother and his father. When he turned twelve was when things turned ugly in the city and they had to escape, so the Riordan family packed their bags and moved to London, leaving most of their possessions behind in Ireland for the time being.

Finn never understood why they had to move out of Ireland so quickly, and it wasn’t until he was old enough to listen in on what his parents were saying (without really knowing why he could) that he figured it all out. His mother’s side of the family were tied in with the Irish Republic Army, and once they wanted to pull Irena back in, she fled with her husband and her son. A couple of months later Irena traveled back to Ireland to retrieve the rest of their things but never came back. Finn’s mother was killed before she could even make it back to their old house, leaving the young boy alone with his father who never really seemed interested in what Finn had to say about anything.

At the age of fifteen was when Finn started to realize that he was different. Quite a bit different, actually. When he could actually concentrate, he could hear almost everything in an entire room, smell all of the notes of things other kids couldn’t, pick out all the different tastes in food, he felt things much heavier than the other kids did, and his vision was never called into question. Finn was left in the dark about these things until he put it all together, remembering the things that he was taught and applying it to himself. Finn was a Sentinel, and there was no doubt in his mind about it. When he confronted his father about it, all he received was a bruised cheek bone and a good scolding for being so foolish.

As the years went on, Finn continued to prove to himself and to his father that he was exactly as he believed he was. Getting into fights at school over the smallest things since he couldn’t control his anger. Locking himself in his room and destroying everything he owned only to put it back together again and repeat the process. This went on until Finn turned eighteen and his father demanded that he hand himself over to the tower. Liev was a large supporter of the tower and everything it did, however Finn was not. He hated the thought of being locked up like a caged bird, so instead he ran off and pulled himself off of the grid, keeping himself alive with odd jobs that didn’t leave a paper trail and finding places to sleep that were inconspicuous enough.

Now at the age of twenty-three, Finn is looking for a reason to join the resistance against the tower, however still doesn’t trust either side enough to be completely swayed one way or another. In hopes that he can get himself someplace safer and away from the ever-watching eyes of the tower, Finn is contemplating going to the one man who could help him more than his own father was willing to.

Sexuality : Homosexual
Sexual On's : Dominant men, foreplay, biting, scratching, marking, oral, handcuff and other bondage accessories.
Sexual Off's : Scat, vore, piss, extreme pain
Are you comfortable with Non-Consensual Activities with your character? Definitely, especially if there is anyone that can deal with being elbowed/hit numerous times. Please PM me first and we can talk about the details. Finn will never be on the administering end of non-con, only the receiving.
Are you alright with sexual activities beyond your character's stated sexuality? I do not wish to have Finn in a sexual situation unless it is with another man, however he’s up for befriending plenty of women. Well, as up for it as he could possibly be.

Anything Else? Uhh, not really.

Calling all rebels, freedom fighters, intellectual revolutionaries, or anarchists!
Broken Bonds is currently in need of some characters to engage in active defiance against the authority of London Tower.

So if you’ve got an idea for a character that has a bone to pick with the Tower or the government in general now is a great time to join. While any character with Resistance loyalty would be lovely to see be aware that the Resistance faction known as Siege is currently in dire need of some new blood!

Siege is a relatively new faction of the Resistance that has been created by the characters Elliot Lee and Claus Sayer. Siege can be considered an academic and ideological arm of the Resistance. The activities and projects that can be attributed to this faction are overwhelmingly nonviolent and erudite in tone and practice. Siege resistance focuses on harnessing cultural and intellectual power to discredit the authority of the Tower, challenge unjust laws, and encourage widespread civil resistance within London and the United Kingdom at large. Through academic articles and journalism exposés Siege reveals the corruption and systematic abuse people suffer within and under the shadow of the Tower. Siege can be credited with making anti-Tower and pro-Resistance texts popular and available for free on the internet.

Siege would love to welcome Resistance inclined scholars, academics, intellectuals, writers, editors, artists, readers, hackers, or others inclined to (usually) nonviolent activities against the Tower. If you're interested in creating a character to join Siege please post in this thread or PM both Dotley and Ultimategeek.

Also, unrelated: Is it possible for a Guide and Sentinel to interact sexually with no bond taking place? Or even being close friends for that matter? I would assume there's ~things~ on both sides that would have to take place for a bond to happen, right?

While it's *possible* it would have to be between a pairing that is already incompatible for bonding, and no biting allowed. Here's the Bonding page of the wiki to give you a better idea of the bonding process. There is a certain level of active participation when establishing a bond, but there is much more going on chemically/hormonally to produce the link between Sentinel and Guide for the completion of a successful bond, which can't be controlled.

[Dotley]

Echoing what Stygia has said! Also going to add that platonic bonds are also a thing as well. It is possible for a Guide and Sentinel to bond without engaging in sex (though the bite still needs to occur).

Player Username : AShatteredSymphony67
Player Preferences : No preferences, I enjoy everyone!
Sentinel and Guide Preferences : Same-sex bonding preferred. Phoenix would work better with a Guide that he is romantically involved with, that he can trust more than anyone.

Full Name : Phoenix Nathaniel McNally
Codename and Nicknames : Codename: Blondie Nicknames: Nix, Nate, or McNally
Age and Birthdate : 26 April 23rd
Gender : Male
Marital Status : Single

Sentinel, Guide or Normal? Sentinel, Unbonded
Occupation : Police Force
Alliance : Tower
Spirit Animal : A female Ocelot named Winry.

Height : 6’2”
Body Type: Athletically skinny
Hair : Dark blonde on the sides, bleached up top
Eyes : Blue
Distinguishing Features : Various tattoos littered over most of his body (mostly chest, arms, back, and left leg). An amazing beard.
Anything else? Nipple piercings.

Likes : People, Affection, Animals of all kinds, Italian food, Cuddling, Anything with bacon or sausage, Being tickled, Grilled cheese sandwiches
Dislikes : Beef, Prison, Guyliner, Not having a beard, Having no friends, Being anger prone, One-night stands, Being called by his full first name, His brother, Death

Personality : Phoenix isn’t like most other Sentinels. Sure, he has his anger issues, however he is very good at hiding them. From the time that he was starting to show that he was a Sentinel - just like his older brother Luca - Phoenix decided that he wanted to be different than his brother. Even without a guide, Phoenix can keep himself in check most of the time. However when there is something that pushes him over the edge, he needs someone to pull him back in before he does something irrational and stupid. If someone can’t get to him in time, more than likely Phoenix could harm someone beyond repair and then kill himself with the guilt later on.

Phoenix feels very deeply. Everything that others say or do to him can either rip apart at his soul or make him feel like the happiest man on Earth. Even as a child he was like that, and most of that was because his father was a very compassionate person. His brother on the other hand was not. Phoenix uses his brother Luca as a representation of everything he doesn’t want to be, so with that in mind he tries his hardest to be as nice to everyone as he possibly can be. Phoenix has the tendency to open the door for little old ladies, or attractive men or do other chivalrous things that other people don’t. He also enjoys cooking for his friends and helping everyone else that needs help. As much of a sweetheart as Phoenix is, when he’s being taken advantage of the roles quickly switch and the other side of Phoenix comes out that is less pleasant to be around, so try to stay in good with him.

Though Phoenix is with the Tower, he doesn’t completely agree with everything they do and it weighs on him, so it isn’t unusual to find him sitting alone from time-to-time so he can be left alone with his own thoughts. All-in-all, Phoenix knows that he has it good with the Tower, he just doesn’t want anyone to be captured against their own will if they don’t want to be part of what the tower stands for. Regardless, he does his job and keeps his mouth shut, not speaking to anyone about the frustrations he holds inside most of the time that are slowly starting to build up, and he just hopes that it doesn’t lead to him exploding any time soon.

History : Phoenix Nathaniel McNally and his brother Luca McNally were left by their parents after Phoenix was around two weeks old and Luca had just turned six. They were thrown into foster care and quickly picked up by a loving same-sex family, Michael and Keenan. Luca didn’t take as well to the men who adopted them, however dealt with it because he knew that he would just go back into foster care. It was hard for Michael and Keenan to handle Luca when he started to show that he was a Sentinel. His outbursts of anger usually left either one of their loving parents with bruises. At the age of sixteen they kicked Luca out, however let him come by to visit his younger brother every once in a while so they didn’t lose contact.

Phoenix had never been a big fan of his brother, especially since he was afraid of Luca who had always been quite a bit bigger than him. Phoenix stood at six foot two inches when he was full grown, however Luca came in right around six foot five and was twice as wide as his younger brother and twice as strong, so it was natural for Phoenix to be afraid of his older brother.

At the age of seventeen Phoenix lost both of his adopted parents in a car accident while he was at school studying after hours. They were on their way to pick him up and were t-boned by a large truck, killing them instantly. The only thing that Phoenix could do was go live with his brother until he was old enough to turn himself into the Tower despite his brother’s advice not to. Luca was a rogue sentinel and wanted his younger brother to follow in his own footsteps, but Phoenix didn’t want to follow his brother, he just wanted to be safe and away from the frightening man who held him down beneath his thumb.

Once Phoenix turned eighteen he had gotten involved in his brothers drug running business and got caught up in a deal that was shut down by the police that then arrested him. He knew that it wasn’t going to end well for him. He was facing a long stint in prison that he didn’t want to face, so he took a plea bargain. If he was to join the Tower then all the charges would be dropped. He took it without complicating things any further and even dropped some information about his brother on the side, hoping that the authorities would catch him and lock him up for good.

Eight years later, Phoenix is now part of the Tower Police Force as one of the many that finds rogue Guides and lets the Tower know about them. Sometimes it allows him to vent his frustrations, and other times it just adds to them. Either way, Phoenix plans on staying in good with the Tower so that he can stay safe and away from his brother that might still be out there, looking for the little brother that turned him into the authorities. It’s also a good opportunity to find a Guide to match up with, that could fill not only the empty spot in his bed, but the empty spot in his heart, and keep him from exploding and doing something stupid that could cost him his job and his life.

Sexuality : Homosexual
Sexual On's : Phoenix likes passion and is a switch hitter. He loves the romantic mushy gushy love stuff, but can also get rough with it if he’s feeling up to it. Pretty vanilla though. Not really into bondage. Biting is possible if he is bonded with that person. Definite scent marking if he’s with a guide.
Sexual Off's : Scat, blood, vore, bathroom play.
Are you comfortable with Non-Consensual Activities with your character? More than likely not. Phoenix is a sensitive guy, so Non-con things would probably break his heart. However, you can PM me and try to convince me and it might work.
Are you alright with sexual activities beyond your character's stated sexuality? No thank you. Phoenix only likes the penis.

Anything Else? Did I mention that he’s a huge sweetheart?

More Phoenix

[jetblackmirror]

May add more. But for now, here's ma bby's! Also, lemme know if anything needs to be tweaked or changed!

Jasper Creiden

Player Username : Jetblackmirror
Player Preferences : I love every color of the rainbow and the people in it. :)
Sentinel and Guide Preferences : Would prefer a romantic/sexual bond with a Sentinel of any sex. This guy's not picky. :P A platonic bond would also be ok.

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Though he is currently bonded, it really isn't meant to be permanent. I would really love to eventually pair him up with someone else. -cough-may or may not have his eye on a certain Mikhail Sokolov.-cough- ::)

Full Name : Jasper Creiden
Codename and Nicknames : Natalie affectionately sometimes refers to him as Sugar-lumps but he's really hoping that isn't a trend that catches on. But, Jas is acceptable.
Age and Birthdate : 26, Sept. 18th
Gender : Male
Marital Status : Uh... it's complicated.

Sentinel, Guide or Normal?: Bonded Rogue Guide
Occupation : Acting as a current medic/doctor-type person for normals, Sentinels, and Guides of the rogue variety. Mostly helps patch up pit-fighters.
Alliance : Viva La Resistance! But could have Tower ties under the right circumstances. Still very much not aligned with them.
Spirit Animal : A Beagle named Bastion. Spends most of his time napping and smelling butts. However, he does have a knack for leading Jas places that always seem to be for a reason, even if that reason isn't known right away.

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

[/i]

Height : 6'3
Body Type: Muscular without getting too carried away.
Hair : Dirty blonde, kept short and often just buzzes it off when it gets too unruly.
Eyes : Sky blue with a burst of vivid gold around the pupils.
Distinguishing Features : A scar about an inch long on the left side of his jaw. A casualty of working with lots of rowdy Sentinels.
Anything else? Nothing I can think of. May change!

Likes : Reading, tea, music, taking things apart and putting them back together, taking care of people, Bastion, helping where he can.
Dislikes : Fighting rings though it's where he spends most of his time - but he tries to offer his help to help the injured, knowing most people there are just trying to make money. The Tower, corrupt assholes, the belief that certain people's lives are more valuable than others, deep water.

Personality : Jasper is grounded, compassionate, loyal, and a bit of a nerd. The idea of learning something new makes him giddy and often takes on multiple projects that he (somehow) manages to complete. Nothing makes him feel more gratified than helping someone out; whether it be patching someone up or calming a Sentinel down. While he believes the best way to work out issues should be through peaceful matters, he understands that sometimes people need to be given a taste of their own medicine.

History : Originally from the united states, Jasper and his family moved to London when he was six. His father was a surgeon and was offered a pretty damn good position from the Tower. Jasper spent a lot of his childhood reading over his father's studies and textbooks and became quite captivated in the world of medicine. Jasper was 21 - in his fourth year of medical school - when he presented as a Guide. The sudden and unexpected change flipped his life upside down. After all, most people had all ready presented by the time they were 18. Late bloomers happened but Jasper had never thought he might fall into that small percentage. One thing was for certain that he did not want to turn himself over to the Tower where they could glorify their protection while also doing a damn good job of stripping him of his rights and other freedoms. He left school and slipped into a more underground life style, finding ways to make money with the skills he had along the way.

He has made his way in and out of money groups; helping the Resistance and offering his aid where ever fit. Within the past year he met Natalie (one of those moments when Bastion led him somewhere he needed to be) - a young Sentinel who's quite the firecracker and was just trying to fit in where ever she could. The two quickly became friends - him aiding in keeping her out of trouble. Well, the best he could. It seemed the littlest things could set her off. It became obvious early on that to keep her from drawing too much attention the best solution was for them to bond. It was a bit reluctant on both sides - seeing as while they made great friends... well, her emotions still managed to get the best of her even with him there to soothe her. None-the-less, the thought of him loosing her was a painful one with or without the bond. It was hard to come by people who you could trust - let alone love on some level.

Sexuality : Very much Bisexual. No preference one way or another. Completely capable of having sexual interactions or relationships with any gender.
Sexual On's : Rough sex, gentle sex, giving/receiving oral, Anal on the giving end of things, Fiesty lovers.
Sexual Off's : My general off's - None of the more brutal or socially unacceptable kinks.
Are you comfortable with Non-Consensual Activities with your character? Jasper would never engage in assaulting another character. However, if you have any ideas involving him being on the receiving end of things lemme know. ;)
Are you alright with sexual activities beyond your character's stated sexuality? His sexuality leaves a world of options. :P

Anything Else? Uhm, well, as I mentioned I would eventually like for his bond with Natalie to no longer be a thing. Mostly because I like putting my characters through emotional traumas. >:)

More Jas!

Natalie Duncan

Player Username : Jetblackmirror
Player Preferences : I love every color of the rainbow and the people in it. :)
Sentinel and Guide Preferences : This lady needs to bond with a Guide that can handle her. No, really, good luck.

Full Name : Natalie Duncan
Codename and Nicknames : Nat, Firecracker.
Age and Birthdate : 19, May 4th.
Gender : Female
Marital Status : Oh uhm... well. Jasper's sort of a thing.

Sentinel, Guide or Normal?: Bonded Rogue Sentinel
Occupation : Ring-fighter and fucking things up in general.
Alliance : With the Resistance type peoples.
Spirit Animal : A Grey-headed Canary she often calls a flury of swear words. But it's real name is Lottey. Natalie thinks she's pretty useless if not useless.

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

[/i]

Height : 5'5
Body Type: Slim - Athletic.
Hair : A mess of sandy reddish-brown waves that fall just past her shoulderblades.
Eyes : They range from a turquoise blue to a seafoam sort of hue.
Distinguishing Features :

Tattoo on her right hip

Anything else? She may be little but she is very... spirited. ;)

Likes : Resting bitch face, fighting, fire, pain, men who can handle her, taking control, compliments(she is a lady, after all), making things difficult for the Tower.
Dislikes : Spiders, cauliflower, people with no backbone, "whimps", being told who to do, losing, being alone.

Personality : Natalie is a complicated girl. Beneath many, MANY, hardened walls there is a sweet and loving person hidden away. Once you have earned her trust she is loyal to the end - unless of course you screw her over, then you're fucked. It's easier to be angry. She often is unimpressed and unapproachable, quick to be defensive, and likely to throw the first punch.

History : Natalie had a fairly average childhood - nothing too big other than the usual bumps and bruises. While her parents never had much money, they always at least had enough money for food. Her real problem was school and interacting socially in general. She was always in fights and going against the orders of her teachers. This led to a lot of suspensions, being expelled twice and her leaving school completely before she was 16. Of course, a lot of this had to do with the fact that she offically presented as a Sentinel at the age of 14. She never could get a hold of her emotions, and it seemed the slightest thing set her off. The way someone tapped their foot, or the way someone even seemed to glance in her direction. It was hard on her parents, which is why on the day she turned 18 they had no problem with trying to force her to check in with the Tower (as she should have, right?). Natalie, of course, did not agree with them.

She left home and began making money in her own ways. Fighting seemed like the perfect way to do so. She didn't always win, but it was a great way to relieve some tension, none-the-less. Everything changed when she met Jasper, though. She'll never forget the Beagle that padded up to her ever so sweetly as she rinsed blood out of her mouth behind an old warehouse and nudged against her. Then Jasper rounded the corner and... things got easier for a moment. She tried for a very long time to not let Jasper know she liked him as much as she did. He became her best friend and as much as she fought it, it really was best to bond with him. For both their sakes. Even then, there were moments when he couldn't handle her - or it took a hell of a lot longer than it should. She tired him out so quickly and she knew it was because while they made great friends, their compatibility at a bonded level really wasn't the best. But, it wasn't as though their was a vast amount of options.

Sexuality : Heterosexual/Bi-curious
Sexual On's : She likes it rough and wild. Anyone who can get her to submit gets a great big, gold star and probably a killer blowjob.
Sexual Off's : My general off's - None of the more brutal or socially unacceptable kinks.
Are you comfortable with Non-Consensual Activities with your character? You might end up with some broken/detached limbs but you're welcome to try.
Are you alright with sexual activities beyond your character's stated sexuality? F/F is a possibility - but probably nothing more than a one-night stand type deal.

Anything Else? Same little blurb I wrote for Jas.

More Natalie!

Oooh Thanks Jet!

Dotley and I will look over all three of the new darlings, possibly tomorrow and will send out PM's regarding any changes or tweaks that may need made.  :)

[Caehlim]

Hi there, I'd like to get involved with this group game. I've heard some really great things about it, I've been reading through all the information and tried to figure out the setting even though I don't have any previous familiarity with it. I've created a Guide Hunter character who hopefully can fit into the game.

Troy Latnov

Player Username : Caehlim
Player Preferences : I'm a rainbow writer.
Sentinel and Guide Preferences : Same-sex bonding preferred (sexual or platonic), Troy will only bond with a willing guide.

Full Name : Troy Latnov
Codename and Nicknames : Frost (partly a physical description of his blonde hair, pale skin and grey eyes but more referring to his lack of emotion).
Age and Birthdate : Twenty-five, born on the seventh of September
Gender : Male
Marital Status : Single

Sentinel, Guide or Normal? Unbonded Sentinel
Occupation : Guide Hunter
Alliance : Works for Tower.
Spirit Animal : American Black bear, when Troy sees him though he always appears to be bound by heavy chains and a collar, covered in scars that can be seen through the fur.

Height : 6'1"
Body Type: Athletic build.
Hair : Blonde, short and neat.
Eyes : Grey
Distinguishing Features : Has a tattoo of a bear on his left shoulder-blade, scars from several bullet wounds on his front and back on the right side of his chest, a long knife scar on his right upper arm.
Anything else? Would usually be more clean-shaven than in the picture.

Likes : Coffee, feeling safe enough to relax, classical music, quiet surroundings, being out in nature, enjoying someone's company in silence, making people happy, listening to other people's problems or being there for them when they're sad.
Dislikes : Losing control, Being forced to talk about his feelings, Alcohol or other drugs that lower inhibitions, Being confined, Doctors, Being in a hospital, Wild parties, Harm coming to children and Torture.

Personality : Troy has a cold professional demeanour which is especially heightened when he is around people from Tower, he tends to be a man of few words and remains on focus with the task at hand. He constantly hides his emotions and tries to restrict them as much as possible. This is the result of the "therapy" he endured at a young age. However he actually remains quite compassionate and caring about others, even if he has a hard time showing it. When he can't bring himself to talk about his feelings, he likes to show them in other ways for example by doing small favours for people he cares about.

He acts most of the time as though he's completely 'by the book', especially when it comes to reporting any abusive behaviour or corruption that he witnesses. However he is willing to turn a blind eye where there's an action done to help someone else or done out of compassion. Most people don't expect this from him because of the way he usually acts which helps him to keep these things secret.

History : Troy was young, only twelve, when his sentinel abilities first manifested and they developed so quickly that he was completely unable to control them. His senses would frequently heighten without him attempting it and he was often overwhelmed by them. He couldn't sleep without wearing a blindfold and earplugs. Between his heightened senses and animal instincts he couldn't concentrate in school and it was growing harder and harder to interact with others without aggression taking over. Although his parents were both normal, they recognized that he was a sentinel. They were worried about him, unsure if he would even remain sane and stable long enough to receive proper training at Tower.

Reaching out to others who had dealt with similar problems they were eventually recommended to see Carlos Voight, a shady figure who some parents claimed had achieved great results for their extremely troubled children. The "Doctor" (who had been stripped of his medical license a long time ago) used brutal methods in forcing Troy to contain and control his abilities. Medical sounding phrasing like "aversion therapy" and "stimulus control" concealed what amounted to torture to stop Troy from using his senses and to restrain his instincts as much as possible. He came out of the doctor's training much more disciplined and in control but also emotionally scarred.

Going to the Tower frightened him, since he often imagined that their techniques would be similar to the training that he had gone through. However his parents early inquiries meant that the Tower was fully aware of his nature as a sentinel. He wasn't able to bring himself to go on the run to avoid it and so voluntarily turned himself in as soon as he turned eighteen. To his surprise though, the Tower's training was nowhere near what he had gone through before and actually helped him recover and embrace his abilities rather than constantly suppressing them. He started to see his spirit animal again, something which hadn't happened since before his training. His bear though showed the physical signs of his emotional scarring and the way he had forcefully controlled his abilities led him to see the bear as chained and shackled whenever he saw it.

He joined the hunter program because he knew that the Tower was better than many of the alternatives that were out on the street and believed that guides and sentinels were dangerous without proper control and training. To his mind he was rescuing rogues and bringing them home, not arresting them and viewed their attempts to fight back as being merely frightened and out of control. After a few years of experience he is aware of some of the troubling facets of the Tower, but prefers to try to reform the organization through legitimate channels rather than going into outright rebellion. He thinks that the world needs the Tower, and that getting rid of it would do much more harm than good. However he's strongly in favour of any attempt to remove corruption or report any abuse of power.

One thing he particularly doesn't like about how guides are treated is involuntarily bonding, he knows it's part of the system and something he can't do much about. He wants a guide himself, someone who can help him control his instincts without the constant painful mental discipline he has to endure. However he has deliberately fought against bonding with people who didn't feel something for him, even when he could sense that they were compatible. He wants to find a guide who truly wants to be bonded with him, something which hasn't happened yet and has stalled his advancement within the tower hierarchy.

Sexuality : Gay.
Sexual On's : (Versatile, but prefers topping): Rough consensual sex, passion, playful bondage, intimacy (with someone he trusts enough), affection, biting, licking and smelling.
Sexual Off's : Sadism, inflicting injury, humiliation, dirty-talk and NC.
Are you comfortable with Non-Consensual Activities with your character? Would not inflict NC activity on another, but I am open to him receiving it so long as it's discussed with me.
Are you alright with sexual activities beyond your character's stated sexuality? Yes, I'm comfortable with it.

Anything Else? I'm not familiar with the setting so I'd welcome any feedback if I've misunderstood anything.

[Stygia]

Caehlim! You're more than welcome, and Troy looks fantastic! (I used this guy's faceclaim in my first days on E and I have a sincere fondness for him, he's delicious.) I'll confirm approval with Dotley tomorrow and send you a PM with all the helpful links. :)

[Caehlim]

Great. I don't actually know who the man is for the faceclaim, I found him by a google search for "tough looking male models" but he's certainly delicious. The intense grey eyes on such a beautiful guy inspired a lot of the idea behind the character's backstory as well.

Personality : Troy has a cold professional demeanour which is especially heightened when he is around people from Tower, he tends to be a man of few words and remains on focus with the task at hand. He constantly hides his emotions and tries to restrict them as much as possible. This is the result of the "therapy" he endured at a young age. However he actually remains quite compassionate and caring about others, even if he has a hard time showing it. When he can't bring himself to talk about his feelings, he likes to show them in other ways for example by doing small favours for people he cares about.

He acts most of the time as though he's completely 'by the book', especially when it comes to reporting any abusive behaviour or corruption that he witnesses. However he is willing to turn a blind eye where there's an action done to help someone else or done out of compassion. Most people don't expect this from him because of the way he usually acts which helps him to keep these things secret.

History : Troy was young, only twelve, when his sentinel abilities first manifested and they developed so quickly that he was completely unable to control them. His senses would frequently heighten without him attempting it and he was often overwhelmed by them. He couldn't sleep without wearing a blindfold and earplugs. Between his heightened senses and animal instincts he couldn't concentrate in school and it was growing harder and harder to interact with others without aggression taking over. Although his parents were both normal, they recognized that he was a sentinel. They were worried about him, unsure if he would even remain sane and stable long enough to receive proper training at Tower.

Reaching out to others who had dealt with similar problems they were eventually recommended to see Carlos Voight, a shady figure who some parents claimed had achieved great results for their extremely troubled children. The "Doctor" (who had been stripped of his medical license a long time ago) used brutal methods in forcing Troy to contain and control his abilities. Medical sounding phrasing like "aversion therapy" and "stimulus control" concealed what amounted to torture to stop Troy from using his senses and to restrain his instincts as much as possible. He came out of the doctor's training much more disciplined and in control but also emotionally scarred.

Going to the Tower frightened him, since he often imagined that their techniques would be similar to the training that he had gone through. However his parents early inquiries meant that the Tower was fully aware of his nature as a sentinel. He wasn't able to bring himself to go on the run to avoid it and so voluntarily turned himself in as soon as he turned eighteen. To his surprise though, the Tower's training was nowhere near what he had gone through before and actually helped him recover and embrace his abilities rather than constantly suppressing them. He started to see his spirit animal again, something which hadn't happened since before his training. His bear though showed the physical signs of his emotional scarring and the way he had forcefully controlled his abilities led him to see the bear as chained and shackled whenever he saw it.

He joined the hunter program because he knew that the Tower was better than many of the alternatives that were out on the street and believed that guides and sentinels were dangerous without proper control and training. To his mind he was rescuing rogues and bringing them home, not arresting them and viewed their attempts to fight back as being merely frightened and out of control. After a few years of experience he is aware of some of the troubling facets of the Tower, but prefers to try to reform the organization through legitimate channels rather than going into outright rebellion. He thinks that the world needs the Tower, and that getting rid of it would do much more harm than good. However he's strongly in favour of any attempt to remove corruption or report any abuse of power.

One thing he particularly doesn't like about how guides are treated is involuntarily bonding, he knows it's part of the system and something he can't do much about. He wants a guide himself, someone who can help him control his instincts without the constant painful mental discipline he has to endure. However he has deliberately fought against bonding with people who didn't feel something for him, even when he could sense that they were compatible. He wants to find a guide who truly wants to be bonded with him, something which hasn't happened yet and has stalled his advancement within the tower hierarchy.

Sexuality : Gay.
Sexual On's : (Versatile, but prefers topping): Rough consensual sex, passion, playful bondage, intimacy (with someone he trusts enough), affection, biting, licking and smelling.
Sexual Off's : Sadism, inflicting injury, humiliation, dirty-talk and NC.
Are you comfortable with Non-Consensual Activities with your character? Would not inflict NC activity on another, but I am open to him receiving it so long as it's discussed with me.
Are you alright with sexual activities beyond your character's stated sexuality? Yes, I'm comfortable with it.

Anything Else? I'm not familiar with the setting so I'd welcome any feedback if I've misunderstood anything.

Caehlim! Yaaay! So happy to see you. <3

Hi there, I'd like to get involved with this group game. I've heard some really great things about it, I've been reading through all the information and tried to figure out the setting even though I don't have any previous familiarity with it.

Glad to see you decided to join Broken Bonds. If you need any help with anything Jet and I could help, as well as the wonderful GM's, Stygia, Dotley, and Emmykins. :)

[Stygia]

Great. I don't actually know who the man is for the faceclaim, I found him by a google search for "tough looking male models" but he's certainly delicious. The intense grey eyes on such a beautiful guy inspired a lot of the idea behind the character's backstory as well.

His name is Taylor Napier. He's stunning <3

[Caehlim]

Well, I know I only just got started, but I do have an idea for a pair of characters to be involved in the resistance and possibly Siege.

Luther Jackson

Player Username : Caehlim
Player Preferences : I'm a rainbow writer
Sentinel and Guide Preferences : Same sex bonding preferred (Sexual or platonic)

Full Name : Luther Jackson
Codename and Nicknames : Guardian (mostly called that because he's his brother's guardian, but occasionally likes to believe that it's because he helps people with the resistance).
Age and Birthdate : 22, born on the 14th February.
Gender : Male
Marital Status : Single

Sentinel, Guide or Normal? Unbonded Sentinel
Occupation : Finding people who will pay for a guide's abilities, protecting his brother.
Alliance : Resistance
Spirit Animal : Scimitar Oryx, although Luther usually just calls him a goat when he's feeling annoyed. He feels oddly possessive of his spirit animal and doesn't like talking about it to anyone else, figuring that if they can't see it then they're not meant to know about it.

Height : 5'11"
Body Type: Lean and wiry.
Hair : Blonde, wild and/or styled when he's in a casual environment, more carefully tended for business.
Eyes : Green/Grey
Distinguishing Features : Has a small black loveheart tattooed just above his ankle, doesn't tell anyone who it's for or makes up stories about it (it was actually just a boyfriend back in high-school, things didn't work out that well and they broke up, nothing like as dramatic as he pretends).
Anything else? When needing to blend in, he'll usually do his hair in a more conservative style.

Likes : Being admired, Becoming famous, Fresh food, Luxury of any sort, Being needed by others, Feeling like he's making a difference, Sleeping in.
Dislikes : Getting dirty, Hard work, Farms, Being called a kid, Other people touching his things, Conventionally creepy animals (spiders, rats, snakes, bugs, etc.), Admitting ignorance.

Personality : Luther can be fairly shallow and self-centered. Something bad happening to him or to his friends is a tragedy, something bad happening to other people is a pity. He claims to have high ideals and he genuinely does care about injustices in the world, he just rarely does anything about it unless it affects him in some way. He likes to show off and tends to be a bit of a drama queen.

History : Luther grew up in a small town in rural Wales, expecting to become a farmer like his parents and one day take over the family farm. Discovering he was a sentinel, like his grandfather had been, was an exciting discovery for Luther. Sure there were some hassles with his senses and he acted a bit strangely, but he felt like he was someone now. He presented at fifteen but couldn't wait to become a part of the Tower and be a hero like all the Sentinels you saw on TV. In the meantime everyone at school was paying attention to him, he could get away with a lot by claiming "sentinel instincts" made him do it and his parents started spoiling him rotten since in a few years he would head off to the Tower in Cardiff and they probably wouldn't see him much.

When he finally arrived at the Tower, it mostly seemed like all that he could hope for. He didn't really like how the guides were treated but it was hard to focus on that when everything else was going so well. Then he got an email from home. It was from his younger brother Reece, who had always been a bit annoying but hero-worshiped him enough that Luther couldn't help liking the kid. Reece had just seen an animal that no one else could see and couldn't wait to come to Cardiff with his brother and become a Sentinel. Luther decided that his brother probably wasn't faking it for attention, and got leave to visit the family home to congratulate his brother.

As soon as he walked through the door though, he could smell that something was wrong. That wasn't the way the other Sentinels at the tower smelled, his brother was a guide and hadn't realized it, just assuming that he would be a Sentinel like his brother when he saw the first sign that he was different. Luther had seen how the guides were treated and couldn't handle the idea of that happening to his brother. So he arranged with his parents that when his leave was over he'd bring his brother back with him to show him Cardiff Tower. Instead, once they were both in the car he drove to London with his brother, letting them both be written off as missing people and going on the run.

He hadn't really come up with any plan for how they'd survive and remain free of the Tower but tried to figure it out as he went along. They had a rough time of it, until they started meeting some of the underground community of rogue Sentinels and Guides. The resistance would often help them where they could and the black-market rogues often needed the help of someone like Luther's brothers to keep their Sentinels balanced. He refused any of the permanent offers from people wanting to bond with his brother but they'd pay well enough just for temporary services calming their emotions or senses. Having him as a sentinel on hand, a little luck, some good friends and a lot of vigilance stopped anyone from stealing his brother away or bonding him against his will.

They did what they could to help out people from the resistance as well, in return for the many favours they'd received that helped them out. His own abilities as a sentinel came in handy as well for the pair of them, even if they weren't as often in demand as his brother's much rarer gifts. He was able to teach his brother how to conceal his scent, figuring that if he couldn't smell it no other sentinel could. He also found it easier to keep his senses and emotions under control with his brother helping him. So far they've survived three years on the run.

He hopes that he can do more than just lay low. One day he hopes to find someone worthy of bonding to his brother, but hasn't found anyone yet that fits the bill. He'd like to find a guide that he can bond with as well, but hasn't managed that either. The thought of bonding with his brother just seems weird to him and he's never had any feeling of compatibility from him.

Sexuality : Strongly prefers men and tends to only fall romantically for guys, but wouldn't rule out a one night stand with anyone else.
Sexual On's : Being dominant, being dominated (doesn't admit to this or seek it out but it would be a secret thrill), being admired, teasing, receiving oral, light bondage, hearing his name during sex.
Sexual Off's : Incest, humiliation, outright sadism, trash-talk.
Are you comfortable with Non-Consensual Activities with your character? Yes, wouldn't go further than dub-con (most likely asking sexual favours in exchange for something) in terms of giving, receiving is fine. Please discuss with me first.
Are you alright with sexual activities beyond your character's stated sexuality? His sexuality is fairly broad, but sure under the right circumstances.

Anything Else? Looking for Luther and his brother to potentially join up with Siege. He won't ever bond with his brother.

Reece Jackson

Player Username : Caehlim
Player Preferences : I'm a rainbow writer
Sentinel and Guide Preferences : Same sex bonding preferred (Sexual or platonic)

Full Name : Reece Jackson
Codename and Nicknames :
Age and Birthdate : 19, born on the 9th January.
Gender : Male
Marital Status : Single

Sentinel, Guide or Normal? Unbonded Guide
Occupation : Using his guide abilities for hire with various rogue/resistance types
Alliance : Resistance
Spirit Animal : European Kestrel, he rarely sees him inside but whenever he's outside can usually see him flying high above him. Occasionally he perches nearby but usually only when Reece is up somewhere high.

Height : 5'8"
Body Type: Skinny and small-framed.
Hair : Blonde, spiked
Eyes : Blue/Grey
Distinguishing Features : Nothing unusual
Anything else? Always wears clothes that his brother wore the previous day to mask his scent or look like he's bonded.

Likes : Privacy, High Places, Security, Being near friends, Being comfortable, Fresh air, Reading, Animals, Friendly people, Relaxing.
Dislikes : Not having food with him, being cold, invasions of personal space, being watched, most sentinels.

Personality : Being suddenly taken on the run and living on the street has hit him hard. Reece used to be fairly quiet, a little shy but basically friendly. Now he's internalized his brother's warnings and tends to be paranoid and suspicious. Thanks to his empathy he knows the way a lot of the people he interacts with feel about him, particularly amongst the underworld they rarely have good intentions. He keeps his things packed at all times, ready to run away if need be, always has some food hidden somewhere on him and plans constantly for what he'll do if things go wrong. More than anything he wants to feel safe and secure, but it's not something that's easy to happen for him.

He also feels guilty sometimes that his nature as a Guide, brings all sorts of trouble down on his family and forced his brother to run away from the Tower. Sometimes he thinks about just turning himself in, but he doesn't want everything his brother did for him to be in vain though.

History : Reece dreamed of the day that he would become a Sentinel just like his brother, he thought it came as well when he first saw his spirit animal. He emailed his brother who came home from the Tower to visit him and shattered his world. Discovering he was actually a guide, being whisked away from home and everything he knew, going on the run and living on the streets of london were tough.

Thankfully his brother has always been with him and watching out for him. They've received plenty of help along the way from the resistance and Reece always encourages his brother to help them back in kind. Most of the other help they've received has been from some fairly shady individuals who have gotten him involved in things he'd rather not have seen. He knows that things could have been a lot worse, especially if his brother hadn't been there for him. He know what they were feeling which makes it easy to guess what they were thinking. Most people he's met have seen him as either something valuable to possess or as some sort of cause. They've never really seen him before, he doesn't even really know who he is anymore.

Sexuality : Gay
Sexual On's : Intimacy, Affection and Reassurance. Otherwise Reece is very sexually inexperienced and not certain what he likes.
Sexual Off's : Being bound, restricted or held down.
Are you comfortable with Non-Consensual Activities with your character? Yes, wouldn't inflict, receiving is fine. Please discuss with me first.
Are you alright with sexual activities beyond your character's stated sexuality? Potentially depending on circumstances. Discuss it with me first.

Anything Else? Looking for Reece and his brother to potentially join up with Siege. He won't ever bond with his brother.

Caehlim, can you please pm your characters to Dotley and myself? Thanks!

[Caehlim]

Caehlim, can you please pm your characters to Dotley and myself? Thanks!

No problem, I've sent them now. Sorry if I've put them in the wrong place, should I delete them from here?

[Stygia]

Nope, you're good, it's just easier for us to discuss any issues if we have it in pm format. :)

[Caehlim]

So I had some more ideas for characters... hopefully I'm not going too crazy with this. These two would be for the Tower faction, a Sentinel and Guide who are father and son.

Devin Remington

Player Username : Caehlim
Player Preferences : I'm a Rainbow writer
Sentinel and Guide Preferences : Would prefer a sexual bond with a female Guide or either a platonic or sexual bond with a male Guide

Full Name : Devin Remington (née Brogen)
Codename and Nicknames : M (as in James Bond), Chairman of the fiscal solvency subcommittee, "Petty cash" (insulting, not used to his face by people who want money)
Age and Birthdate : 41, 8th April
Gender : Male
Marital Status : Remarried (original wife died)

Sentinel, Guide or Normal? Sentinel - Widowed
Occupation : Government Accountant and Bureaucrat
Alliance : Tower Government
Spirit Animal : Pandinus imperator Emperor Scorpion (I won't put any pictures of this up in case anyone has phobias) which he has named Cecil.

Height : 5'11"
Body Type: Tanned, fit, broad shouldered and lightly muscled from activity.
Hair : Dirty blonde, lightly greying.
Eyes : Blue
Distinguishing Features : Scar from donating a kidney to his father.
Anything else? Dresses more formally, the picture here is more what he might wear boating or at a very informal occasion. Fakes a more upper-class accent than his natural speaking voice.

Likes : Camping, Rock-climbing, Golf, Boating, Having power over people, Long weekends, Talking about his children's achievements, Showing off his beautiful wife.
Dislikes : Being embarrassed, looking weak, drinking (only one kidney), being kept late at the office (happens frequently), not getting what he wants.

Personality : Devin is a politician and wears his public image like a mask, nothing can be allowed to embarrass him at the risk of weakening his position. To most he appears a quiet man, focused on numbers and keeping the tower running smoothly. Those who deal with him more regularly learn that he manages his position with a great deal of favour trading and that people who want additional expenses approved by him for their department may be expected to do a favour (not strictly speaking for Devin, but for someone whom Devin owes a favour usually). He can be petty and vengeful, doing whatever he can to repay any insult delivered to him. He has spent the last years attempting to destroy the career of another man in Government who had an affair with his late wife.

He is concerned with gathering power, prestige and wealth attempting to set up his family with the best he can provide them and using his influence to help his friends and destroy his enemies. He has also inherited a mess of political alliances and network of favours from his late wife's circle of allies which he is attempting to fulfill as many are in a position to destroy him if the doesn't toe the party line. In his time off he enjoys slightly less than extreme sports, and spending time in the outdoors.

History : A young Sentinel, especially one new to the tower, would be lucky to be chosen for a bond to any Guide. When that Guide is more experienced they have a way of shaping the life and future of the Sentinel. Especially since Devin was chosen by the elderly widow of a senior Government official. Madame Eleanor Remington was a fiery figure, who had blazed the corridors of power on behalf of her late Sentinel husband and bondmate. She knew how to play the games of Tower politics and even as a Guide was a figure of influence. She didn't have a hard time getting her choice of Sentinel. Most of the senior government Sentinels were already bonded and her political allies were able to block less suitable candidates. She chose Devin, seeing him as both a man with potential but also someone who would bow to her decisions and over the years groomed him into a position within London Tower's Government.

Devin was stunned by the older woman who had chosen him and fell completely in love with her, they married (with him taking her last name) and he tried to learn the political game. He was always a touch too earnest and bookish to ever manage the greatest heights of politics, despite his wife's best efforts but he did rise within the financial section of Tower Government as one of their chief accountants. In later years their relationship began to fall apart as she steadily became more disappointed that he would never return her to the lofty position she had previously held and he discovered that she had engaged in extra-marital affairs. Most troubling of all was his discovery that their only child Joshua wasn't actually his son, something that he has kept concealed from everyone including his son to this day. Although their relationship never recovered he was still grieved when she, being twenty-five years older than him, died of natural causes.

Since her death he has since remarried to a much younger woman, Samantha, a specialized art dealer who helps supply neutral decorations for Sentinel housing and the Government offices of the Tower. She is Normal, much to the surprise of many who expected him to bond another Guide. However he has so far refrained from doing so, even though his position would make it much easier for him to obtain interviews. After his relationship with Eleanor he is far from eager to enter into anything quite so permanent as a Guide bonding, and although he has married Samantha, he has ensured via prenuptial agreements that he can more easily divorce her with only minimal difficulty and expense. He fully expects that one day, if he's ready to bond again, he may have to divorce Samantha. In which case he is prepared to ensure that she spends the rest of her life well-taken care of but no longer dealing with him.

He has had three more children; Tyler 11, Morgan 9 and Eleanor 7 with Samantha. He dotes especially on these three children, knowing that they're his. His relationship with Joshua is a little more complex, flipping between loving him as an extension of his mother and seeing him as a living reminder of her affair. Things became complex when Joshua presented as a Guide at 14. Devin has taken extra care of him since then, but made clear that he is going to be sent directly to the Tower on the day of his 18th birthday. He knows that there is little he can do for Joshua since he will be watched closely for any signs of favouritism, how he feels about that depends on how vindictive his mood is on any given day.

Sexuality : Heterosexual, potentially a little bi-curious but unlikely to ever admit it.
Sexual On's : Being in a position of power.
Sexual Off's : Threesomes where he isn't the central figure, being less 'manly' than his partner,
Are you comfortable with Non-Consensual Activities with your character? Yes, contact me if you want to discuss details. Under the right circumstances this character could both give or receive NC activities.
Are you alright with sexual activities beyond your character's stated sexuality? Yes. Under appropriate circumstances Devin could enter into same-sex activities. This would be particularly likely if he is bonded with another male Guide, although Devin wouldn't be open about it. "I was drunk and it was the pheromones, don't tell anyone what happened."

Anything Else? He's not a very pleasant character and being in a relationship with him would be a matter of power-games. Happy to use this character as a rival, villain or foil if anyone needs the services of such a character in developing their story.

Joshua Remington

Player Username : Caehlim
Player Preferences : I'm a rainbow writer.
Sentinel and Guide Preferences : Preferred same-sex sexual bond with male (or male presenting) Sentinel

Full Name : Joshua Remington
Codename and Nicknames : Josh, Joe, or J (his father hates him abbreviating his name)
Age and Birthdate : 18, 28th December
Gender : Male
Marital Status : Single

Sentinel, Guide or Normal? Unbonded Guide
Occupation : Getting locked in Guide Housing until the Matchmaker finds him a Sentinel
Alliance : Reluctant Tower Allegiance
Spirit Animal : Suricata suricatta, a Meerkat named Auckland.

Height : 5'9"
Body Type: Lean
Hair : Blonde
Eyes : Blue
Distinguishing Features : None
Anything else? Faceclaim is Ryan Taylor

Likes : Predictable or stable people, video games, television, his meerkat Auckland, understanding people better, studying psychology, helping others
Dislikes : Accounting, people assuming that his rich family gave him a good life, people believing his father instead of him, dishonesty, unpredictable people, not being able to help someone

Personality : Josh accepts people for who they are and tries to understand them as best he can, that usually applies to himself as well. He knows that he has some issues of his own, that he likes to test people and find out their limits just so that he knows where he stands, that he likes to rebel just to see if he can get away with it and that he's a little too curious. He tries to be honest with himself and other people. He cares about other people and wants to help them, but he also wants to do it on his terms. He hates being pushed around and used or taken advantage of, the fact that that's practically the Guide job description has him a bit worried as well.

History : Josh doesn't have a lot of memories of his mother Eleanor who died when he was six, most of his family life has revolved around his relationship with his father who seems to Josh to act like he's manic depressive. One day his father took him out of school to take him to Disneyland, they walked around all day getting photos taken but he wasn't allowed to go on any of the rides or do anything. When he started acting out as a teenager his father came good on his threat to send him to military school, until after a week when Josh started crying during a phone call and his father drove overnight to pick him up and take him home. That's the kind of memories he has of his father. The worst part is, everyone else thinks he's a great father... "just look at all these photos from when he took you to Disneyland, you don't even look happy in half of these photos, what a spoiled brat."

It bothered him sometimes, but he focused on other things instead. Sure sometimes his father messed those up for him, but plenty of people have crazy families. So he actually enjoyed going to school and just dealing with normal situations most of the time. Hanging out with his friends when he was allowed to. Indulging in what rebellion he could get away with, though he was careful not to push his father too far.

When he turned fourteen he started getting the headaches that plagued him when he was around people with strong emotions. His father recognized the signs and sent him to a Tower doctor who verified that he was beginning to present as a Guide. It was made clear straight away that there was no chance of him avoiding going to the Tower. It took some of the enjoyment out of going to school, knowing that for all his studying he was bound to end up just as someone's Guide and having no future of his own. With his empathy though he discovered a new interest in psychology and started reading everything he can on it. He had a crazy dream of somehow becoming a psychologist, though he doesn't know how he'll manage that as a Guide.

After spending a final Christmas with his family, Josh's 18th birthday has almost arrived and he's about to head into the Tower. He wants to run away, but doesn't see how he'd live a life like that, he'd probably have more chance of fulfilling his dreams as a Guide.

Sexuality : Gay, versatile
Sexual On's : Talking, knowing where he stands, trying out new things.
Sexual Off's : Playing guessing games, fake affection.
Are you comfortable with Non-Consensual Activities with your character? Yes, discuss it with me if you have an idea.
Are you alright with sexual activities beyond your character's stated sexuality? Yes, if appropriate to the situation.

Anything Else? Josh is pretty straightforward and planned to be a part of the Tower faction, albeit not terribly happy about being there.

Devin Remington

Player Username : Caehlim
Player Preferences : I'm a Rainbow writer
Sentinel and Guide Preferences : Would prefer a sexual bond with a female Guide or either a platonic or sexual bond with a male Guide

Full Name : Devin Remington (née Brogen)
Codename and Nicknames : M (as in James Bond), Chairman of the fiscal solvency subcommittee, "Petty cash" (insulting, not used to his face by people who want money)
Age and Birthdate : 41, 8th April
Gender : Male
Marital Status : Remarried (original wife died)

Sentinel, Guide or Normal? Sentinel - Widowed
Occupation : Government Accountant and Bureaucrat
Alliance : Tower Government
Spirit Animal : Pandinus imperator Emperor Scorpion (I won't put any pictures of this up in case anyone has phobias) which he has named Cecil.

Height : 5'11"
Body Type: Tanned, fit, broad shouldered and lightly muscled from activity.
Hair : Dirty blonde, lightly greying.
Eyes : Blue
Distinguishing Features : Scar from donating a kidney to his father.
Anything else? Dresses more formally, the picture here is more what he might wear boating or at a very informal occasion. Fakes a more upper-class accent than his natural speaking voice.

Likes : Camping, Rock-climbing, Golf, Boating, Having power over people, Long weekends, Talking about his children's achievements, Showing off his beautiful wife.
Dislikes : Being embarrassed, looking weak, drinking (only one kidney), being kept late at the office (happens frequently), not getting what he wants.

Personality : Devin is a politician and wears his public image like a mask, nothing can be allowed to embarrass him at the risk of weakening his position. To most he appears a quiet man, focused on numbers and keeping the tower running smoothly. Those who deal with him more regularly learn that he manages his position with a great deal of favour trading and that people who want additional expenses approved by him for their department may be expected to do a favour (not strictly speaking for Devin, but for someone whom Devin owes a favour usually). He can be petty and vengeful, doing whatever he can to repay any insult delivered to him. He has spent the last years attempting to destroy the career of another man in Government who had an affair with his late wife.

He is concerned with gathering power, prestige and wealth attempting to set up his family with the best he can provide them and using his influence to help his friends and destroy his enemies. He has also inherited a mess of political alliances and network of favours from his late wife's circle of allies which he is attempting to fulfill as many are in a position to destroy him if the doesn't toe the party line. In his time off he enjoys slightly less than extreme sports, and spending time in the outdoors.

History : A young Sentinel, especially one new to the tower, would be lucky to be chosen for a bond to any Guide. When that Guide is more experienced they have a way of shaping the life and future of the Sentinel. Especially since Devin was chosen by the elderly widow of a senior Government official. Madame Eleanor Remington was a fiery figure, who had blazed the corridors of power on behalf of her late Sentinel husband and bondmate. She knew how to play the games of Tower politics and even as a Guide was a figure of influence. She didn't have a hard time getting her choice of Sentinel. Most of the senior government Sentinels were already bonded and her political allies were able to block less suitable candidates. She chose Devin, seeing him as both a man with potential but also someone who would bow to her decisions and over the years groomed him into a position within London Tower's Government.

Devin was stunned by the older woman who had chosen him and fell completely in love with her, they married (with him taking her last name) and he tried to learn the political game. He was always a touch too earnest and bookish to ever manage the greatest heights of politics, despite his wife's best efforts but he did rise within the financial section of Tower Government as one of their chief accountants. In later years their relationship began to fall apart as she steadily became more disappointed that he would never return her to the lofty position she had previously held and he discovered that she had engaged in extra-marital affairs. Most troubling of all was his discovery that their only child Joshua wasn't actually his son, something that he has kept concealed from everyone including his son to this day. Although their relationship never recovered he was still grieved when she, being twenty-five years older than him, died of natural causes.

Since her death he has since remarried to a much younger woman, Samantha, a specialized art dealer who helps supply neutral decorations for Sentinel housing and the Government offices of the Tower. She is Normal, much to the surprise of many who expected him to bond another Guide. However he has so far refrained from doing so, even though his position would make it much easier for him to obtain interviews. After his relationship with Eleanor he is far from eager to enter into anything quite so permanent as a Guide bonding, and although he has married Samantha, he has ensured via prenuptial agreements that he can more easily divorce her with only minimal difficulty and expense. He fully expects that one day, if he's ready to bond again, he may have to divorce Samantha. In which case he is prepared to ensure that she spends the rest of her life well-taken care of but no longer dealing with him.

He has had three more children; Tyler 11, Morgan 9 and Eleanor 7 with Samantha. He dotes especially on these three children, knowing that they're his. His relationship with Joshua is a little more complex, flipping between loving him as an extension of his mother and seeing him as a living reminder of her affair. Things became complex when Joshua presented as a Guide at 14. Devin has taken extra care of him since then, but made clear that he is going to be sent directly to the Tower on the day of his 18th birthday. He knows that there is little he can do for Joshua since he will be watched closely for any signs of favouritism, how he feels about that depends on how vindictive his mood is on any given day.

Sexuality : Heterosexual, potentially a little bi-curious but unlikely to ever admit it.
Sexual On's : Being in a position of power.
Sexual Off's : Threesomes where he isn't the central figure, being less 'manly' than his partner,
Are you comfortable with Non-Consensual Activities with your character? Yes, contact me if you want to discuss details. Under the right circumstances this character could both give or receive NC activities.
Are you alright with sexual activities beyond your character's stated sexuality? Yes. Under appropriate circumstances Devin could enter into same-sex activities. This would be particularly likely if he is bonded with another male Guide, although Devin wouldn't be open about it. "I was drunk and it was the pheromones, don't tell anyone what happened."

Anything Else? He's not a very pleasant character and being in a relationship with him would be a matter of power-games. Happy to use this character as a rival, villain or foil if anyone needs the services of such a character in developing their story.

Ooooh~

I don't need to make another character for BB. I don't need to make another character for BB. I don't need to make another character for BB. *mantras*

Hey there folks! I've been lurking around these parts for a little while and finally felt the big push to make contact. I just wanted to check in and make sure the announcement made in December was still valid. I have an idea for  Guide character that I would love to throw into the mix, if there is still room?

[Bloodied Porcelain]

no longer needed

This is long over due for a bump.

ALSO! I am potentially looking for a straight (or bi leaning toward women) male Sentinel for my rogue guide. If someone steps up wanting to play her future bondmate, my idea is to have her captured by the tower, tortured for information on the resistance, and then force-bonded to this character.

So he would need to be:
Tower-loyal (extremely so, if possible)
Strong willed
Experienced
Firm handed, but not completely lacking in empathy
Strict
and able to handle a guide who brutally murdered her last bondmate.

This would probably mean their story arc would have a lot of violence, abuse, noncon, etc. I know this isn't for everyone, but I'm hoping posting about it here will help garner interest.

This looks amazing. -starts to create a character!-

Hello Amarlo! Let us know if you need any help with your character application or if have any questions  :-)

Hello Amarlo! Let us know if you need any help with your character application or if have any questions  :-)

Thanks, I already placed a question for your general players in the ooc thread ^^; I am so looking forward to this. I already have a general concept going in my head, I just need to know what type is needed by other players :P

GODDAMNITBP. It's like you're taunting me.  :P

[Bloodied Porcelain]

GODDAMNITBP. It's like you're taunting me.  :P

LOL I actually found someone to fulfill that need. HOWEVER... I would totes make you another if you really wanted. :D

[Dotley]

Similar to what BP did above I also come into the recruitment thread dangling an idea that a newcomer (or hey possibly someone who has already joined BB) may find appealing.

If anyone is interested in playing a brother to a character already in the game (would be an easy way for someone to jump into the story with an established connection) I am currently looking for an older brother to my character Hart. Basically I'm seeking someone interested in playing a male character that is black, biracial, or multiracial (to match Hart's own race). The brother can be a Normal like Hart or he could be a Sentinel or Guide and his sexual orientation doesn't matter. His personality, career, etc are also entirely open. More information about my request can be found in the Want Ads located right here.

In general the Want Ads are a great place for newcomers interested in joining Broken Bonds to poke around to see if anything catches your interest  :-)

Have a cute Hart pic!

Adding to this thread, the lovely lady pictures here is in need of a companion, love-interest type person. Take a look at her character sheet here! She is a hot-headed Sentinel who is really a big softly and is in desperate need from someone to love on and other fun things. :P Men or ladies, or anyone in between are welcome. Also Sentinel, Guide, or Normal are all fine. Feel free to shoot me a PM if you're interested!
