Right folks can I please have a headcount.  Goodness I sound like school teacher.

Anyway I would like a quick head count, then I will set up an OOC  and an IC.

Characters can come here or by PM if folks want to be more secretive.

I am looking forward to this.

Crovonovin

I'm right here!  I'll have the Cohort statted up and fleshed out before we start in on this.

Muse

Still intrested! 

I couldn't find my hardcoppies last night, so I'll use digital  That means a mage since I know them a tad bit better.

I'm definitely still interested. If you want a bio with stats from the game system I will need a little help setting those up.

Senti

I can help with the number crunching... all I need is a Bio

rememder its the 80's/90's.

Blitzy

Still here, Senti!

This is just going to be a crazy week for me. I have a little over a week before I am leaving from Minnesota to Florida. So I won't be able to have a char involved and invested yet. But I will bring one in once I get settled and things calm down at home in FL!
One on One stories on hold currently. Apologies to my writing partners.

Gah.  I was trying to find Shana to adapt into a mage, but I can't find our sheets, only our RP thread.

Senti

there is no rush, the first scene is relaxed and anyone Vagabnd or not is free to join in.

Blitzy I hope your move goes well and just join in when it suits RL.

Muse dont stress too much about points...background is more important...

I believe that the only thing missing from that which I PMed you is a character name, and the game stats.

Senti

I have you Elf....and will PM some bits and bobs for you :)

Elf

Thank you. I am still trying to come up with a name, but will have it by the time it is needed.

I'll be playing the figure known as Bloody Chav, Dexter Wright to his friends.   He's a nomadic jack of all trades who was once a licensed pyrotechnician, but lost his license in a near death experience.  Since then, he's been haunted by spooky things, and tends to run around with a robe and wizard hat being obnoxious a lot.  Naturally, nobody ever pays him any attention when he does this.  He's pretty good at making or buying fireworks, and seems to be the go-to guy if you ever need something set on fire. 


What he looks like:



Meow!  I'm a kitty; made of fire.

I'm still interested in a wolf, though, as Blitzy can attest to, when it comes to making a sheet for a WoD char... I can take a while. *L*

Blitzy

Not just making the sheet.... Finding the right picture, getting the history right, getting the personality right.... *Grins.* Geeklet takes a while. But it's why I love hir! :P

I actually based a lot of my character on a particular actor, which made finding the right picture really really easy.  :-)

*snickers at Blitzy* Hey.. thats what you get when you mix a perfectionist with a procrastinator. May take a while to do, but dammit, I make sure its done right!

Hellion000

My basic sheet is done, and the rough sketch of the background is firmly in mind. I just need to sit down and hammer out a few details.

Just a little extra ask... if anyone wants to think about a 'theme song'  or the like for their chracter I love that.


Muse

Once upon a time,
There was a beautiful tropical island,
With blue lagoons and clean white beaches,
Blacktop roads winding through green jungles,
And little frogs singing in the trees. 

A girl grew up there in idyllic bliss. 
She didn’t know it was idyllic bliss,
because she’d never known true suffering. 
She didn’t have much money. 
But she had food to eat,
School to attend by day,
Beaches to dance on at night,
And a boy with a motorcycle to love with all her heart,
Who grew up into godlike Adonis of a man,
And gave her a ring,
And a baby,
And a home. 

She didn’t know she lived in idyllic bliss. 
Or that her heart was so pure,
And her beauty so great,
That she would attract the jealousy of a queen from the other side of the sunset. 

So jealous grew Titania herself
That she stole  the girl away,
And carved her face upon a soulless fetch to leave behind,
To love her husband and raise her child. 

“You will be my new handmaiden,” Titania said,
“Untill I tire of you, then I will add  you to my collection,
“And you will be but another treasure. 
“A pretty bird in a gilded cage.” 

In humiliated servitude Titania’s slave did all she could to please her mistress,
Yearning for her smile and caress with every fiber of her being,
Waking every night screaming in dread of her displeasure,
Driven by desperation to retrain the tenuous personhood of a slave,
Crying as she danced for the girl’s who’d already been diminished to dolls. 

The beauty of her dance was irresistible. 

At last one day Titania gathered her slave in her arms,
Stroking her hair with proprietary passion,
Cooing with possessive love, she whispered,
“My girl, my girl, my pretty slave,
“I have a new handmaiden now to take your place,
“but not for you the life of a dancing doll.” 

With a last transcendent kiss,
Of ecstasy that seared her soul to ash and made her anew,
The girl was reshaped into a dragon,
With scales of red and gold,
Bones of adamant,
Blood of fire. 
“This is my final command to you, monster who was a girl,
“Guard my treasure ‘til the end of time and dance no more.” 

Bitter and broken,
Driven by hate for her beloved mistress,
Consumed with covetousness for the new girl’s prized place in her arms,
The monster stalked a daily patrol amongst the tens of thousands of dancing dolls,
Forgetting that she was to have been one,
Heart beating in vain hope for the day when her mistress would be pleased enough to take her in her arms once more. 

Then, one day,
for no particular reason at all,
The monster looked up,
And saw that the hall was vast and wide
With a vault so high it stretched towards the heavens. 

Days later,
She decided to do something about it.
She spread her wings. 
And beat at the air,
Breaking the chains of the ground,
Soaring into the sky. 
For just a few precious moments. 
Then she dropped to the ground again. 
And for days after she wept bitter tears,

The girl remembered freedom. 

An eternity later,
She flew again. 
And wept again. 
Then flew again. 

The pain grew heady. 
The pain gave her life meaning. 
In pain and exlation,
The girl danced through the domed skies. 
And the world itself watched. 

Daily, now, she danced her yearning prayer for freedom,
Til at last the world understood her desire,
Daily, now, she danced her yearning prayer for freedom,
‘Til at last th world fulfilled her prayer. 
The wall pealed back too bare a thorny hedge,

Confused and terrified, the girl did not hesitate,
But crashed her draconic body into the hedge,
Thorns ripped at her hide,
Rended her wings
Shredded her scales,   
She did not look back. 
Fleeing between the hedgerows now,
She sought her home, 
The thorns rent and tore,
Ripping away her burning blood,
Ripping away her adamant bones,
But when she reached the human world,
She was still fairer than ever before,
Stronger than ever before. 
She could still here the fire singing,
And make the world yearn and weep when she danced.

Thank you Muse...

Right ok I can set up OOC and IC, as the start does certainly not require character sheets, and folks can turn up when they are ready.

All alright with that?
