I may still make a character for this if I can find some time before the weekend.  Are we restricted to just one?  I'd sort of like to make someone less than nice...but my experience is that can be very restrictive in terms of interacting with others, so I'd kinda like someone more sociable as well.

(A history thread is a thread dedicated to scenes that occur in the past before the game opens, usually used to establish connections between characters.  Never seen them before coming to E but they seem fairly popular in some of the bigger group games here.)

The reason I thought I might mention it is because of the emphasis on connections to others. Sort of to keep track of flashback posts and help make whatever connections stronger. That being said, the game doesn't need it. Just an addition I thought would help with establishing connections and provide more of a chance to create back story with their characters.

So basically they are trapped in the town?

Yes they are trapped.

I like the idea but I think I've been hammering a bit too much on the connection. The connection I mean is so that there are no loners in the game that have nobody to interact with. That's not fun for the player who plays it and it's a bit awkward for the others.

You are obviously free to describe your relationships to others or your history in your posts. By all means do.

Also I'd like to keep the story lines a bit together. One, two, maybe three story lines at the same time. With total strangers or people who are not connected, that's difficult.

You are free to join after the weekend as well. Ideally I start it in the weekend but that doesn't mean everybody has to have their sheets in by then. You are free to play out more than one but it might so happen that both characters are in the same scene.





Still considering if I should play a character or not :D
Out here in the fields, I fight for my meals and I get my back into my living.

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

I might change the age of Doctor Nicky. She is currently 31 but I'm considering moving it to 28/29 is that okay?

And I'm fine with it starting the morning of the dome coming down.

ON HIATUS AGAIN

Rel Mayer

Name: Rebecca "Reby" Sato
Age: 25
Nationality: Japanese Roots -American born
Job: Temporary Manager at Starlight Lodge Hotel
Address: W 6th Street
Connected to: OPEN for PM discussion
About:
Reby has been described as an unique personality. She's usually extremely cheery and fun to be around, sort of the life of the party. Although, there are times when she can appear to be a little ditzy and forget about common things. There is almost always a smile on her face and she's willing to go out of her way to help anyone. One of her problems is that she absolutely lives for gossip, so usually she will be hanging around anyone that will dish out some information and one of her co-workers or friends. She's a great listener and also a great talker. She's also very extroverted, so the more people she's around the more energy she gets. Reby has never had the opportunity to be responsible and she actually would be still living with her parents, but they moved away from Glenwood Springs and she's been secretly living in one of the hotel rooms that she works at. Being that her hair is constantly full of other people's secrets, she's really good at hiding the fact from her boss that she's actually staying in one of the cheaper rooms in the small hotel for the past few months.

She never went to college, but has a high school degree. One of her flaws is that she's not very bright when it comes to intellectual facts, even if she does have a bit of common sense. She's not the type of person you want on a quiz show team, but she is the person you want around if people ever need help persuading or cheering someone up. Because of her qualities of always being pleasant, she can be a hoot to be around, plus always super respectful of people and their boundaries. She has earned herself a temporary position of managing the Starlight Lodge. It's probably the most responsibility that anyone has ever given her, and she's only been managing the hotel for a couple days now. The owner mentioned that they were going to be gone on a tropical vacation for a couple weeks, so Reby has been enjoying her new sense of power and responsibility.

Can die:Yes

Prince Truhan


Name: Tim Phelps

Age: 34

Nationality: American

Job: Smuggler

Address:105 4th street

Connected to: Open, Been arrested several times by Lt. Hendrickson

About: Tim has been on shady side of the law since he was born, his father taught him at an early age that they lived in a small town that needed their services to survive, after all the prices that they had for stuff were cheaper than retail. He believed this tale and continued providing the town with stuff he just happened to find, even if said stuff had "fallen" out of "abandoned" trucks.

When he had the option to expand his reach he took it, and now his distribution reaches places far away from the little town, however he still believes his own story of being helpful, even if he has been leaned hard on townsfolk to take his products more than once.

He has been arrested several times although so far he has always been able to get out.

Can die: Yes

I'm almost positive there has been no mention of a mechanic until now, and I'm positive my character could use a friendly one

Name: goes by Ahna Peters.  (Actually Tatianna Lyeta Petrovich)
Age:  27
Nationality:  Russian-American
Job: un-employed; a long time guest at a hotel
Address:  currently the Starlight Lodge Hotel, room # ? 
Connected to:  Rebecca "Reby" Sato (Hotel)
                        Alex Sadovsky (tenuous via Nicky Yurlov)

(non-resident) - 
ex-boyfriend -Nicky Yurlov
Sister - Valentina ‘Tina’ Petrovich (age 17)
Father - Yegor Petrovich (runs a small neighborhood grocery / cigar shop in Brooklyn NYC)
Mother - Lyeta Petrovich (deceased)


About:
Brown/blond hair, blue eyes, 5’7”, a smoker. 

Ahna arrived in town in a red Ford Mustang that had seen better days about 3 weeks before the dome came down.  Broken down and in need of a long week’s sleep, she found herself at the Starlight Lodge. 

Initially reclusive to the extreme, she’s begun to get out, buying new clothes, a laptop, lunch out at a diner, treating herself to an ice cream.  Always pays in cash. 

*not public knowledge*          A 2nd generation Russian-American, she can have a slight accent when emotional or exhausted.  Her mother was killed in a robbery five years previous. Her father runs a small neighborhood grocery that spares a corner for a large cigar case.  Her sister is 17, much more cerebral and on a track toward college.  Ahna wants to leave the old neighborhood behind and tries to seem more worldly than she is, even after a failed foray into modeling (she was too short and unwilling to screw photographers.)  After an aborted college education and a rousing tour of the NYC club scene she landed in the company of Nicky Yurlov, a Russian... businessman.   ::)   


Can die:  yes, I suppose so.





i'm working on fleshing out the connections.  so this will be updated at some point.

Rel Mayer, lovely character.

Truhan, good, we needed more men.

Letrixa, I like her. Are her parents and brother in the dome with her?

aurora, nice character but it's spelled Tatyana in Russian ;D

Strangefate, I like both characters.

Kitty's brother is my character Simon...their elder sibling is in Denver (due back for a week stay in a few days time to ensure the house isn't destroyed) and their parents are in England on holiday for two weeks
260916 Sigh, on the back end of my laptop dying last week and getting a new one delivered, we now have had some local flooding where I live....fortunately for me no major damage since my house is a few feet above ground, however my back yard looks like the swimming pool I don't have ...so might take a day or two to get back to posting

I have taken a few liberties in the above mentioned list when it comes to connections. Some are a bit far fetched but I think we got enough to have one or two big groups. If you don't agree with something I've put down, please let me know alright?

Also we got 7 males and 7 female characters. Did you do that on purpose? :P
