Need For Speed
Join The Club

Some people are born artist's, speed junkies, criminals, or car fanatics; but there are a select few that are born all of these things and more.  Usually such interests are hobbies or a way to earn a living, but in a neighborhood where your choices are limited, and there's power in numbers, being a part of a group is the only way to survive and indulge in your passions at the same time.  In this case, it's the wild and highly illegal world of street racing in San Diego; where it's more than your name on the line.  It's here where your talent at building cars, and your meddle behind the wheel is tested, and it's all about speed, and winning.

I'm interested in starting a game centered around street racing, or more specifically, a street racing club.  It would work as a cohesive family of sorts, every member of the club loyal to the family above all else.  It would comprise of a group of people that all grew up in the same neighborhood, who've known each other almost their whole lives, and who distrust outsiders as much as they do cops.  There will be no one who just happens to walk in the door and joins the club automatically.  The secondary cast are all connected to the club through the shop or through family, but they would not be in on the actual illegal activities that go along with being a member, they wouldn't be privy to details; but they would still be considered family, and loyalty would still be expected. 


Tags/Warnings


  • BON: Human small groups
  • Written depictions of criminal activity/possible drug use.

Guidelines


  • Please don't consider this for your first game on E.
  • While I'm not picky, there is a two paragraph 350+ posting minimum.
  • This will be a slow paced game.  If you're expecting something fast paced, than this definitely isn't for you.
  • I reserve the right to ask perspective players to edit their submitted character sheet's if I see something that needs editing.  But I'm not heavy handed about this, so it'll only be for major things that I see need editing.
  • Player collaboration is not just suggest, but needed when working out each characters histories.  This is only because, they would have all known each other for most of their lives, and some common events are inevitable.
  • Depictions of Non-consensual sexual acts cannot be displayed in the actual main game threads.  If a scene of this nature wants to be played out between players, please PM me and we'll work something out.

Definitely interested in the brains/mechanic slot. Let me work up a sheet for you to see what you think Dis. :)

Any way to be a female driver still? Seems like there's a lot of female interest in this game.

Caela

[Micah Chapman]



Age:21 (almost 22)
Gender: Female
Orientation: Straight
Position in Club: Brains/mechanic
Specialty: Mechanic, she's never met an engine she didn't like improving.
Personality: Quiet with strangers she can be quite chatty with people she's close to. Honest, trustworthy, loyal, she'd do damned near anything for those she loves, very protective. Intensely focused at times, if she's under the hood of a car you may as well not bother, she won't remember a word you said later
History: Born in the neighborhood, she's know the group at the shop her whole life. They are more her family than her own relatives and she only sees her parents house when she goes there to sleep...if she goes there to sleep. Her days are spent in the shop working on the drivers cars, making them faster, more powerful, the meanest things on the road, and her nights are spent watching her babies eat up that quarter mile like it was nothing. Her happiest moments are when one of her cars runs across that line like lightening let out of a bottle, leaving everyone else in their dust.
Physical Description: Micah is a petite thing. At only 5'2 she looks younger than she is, like she is still supposed to hit that last growth spurt, but it never happened. Her golden mane of soft curls is usually back in a tight braid but falls to the middle of her back when she lets it down. All that hair frames a heart shaped face with ice blue eyes frames by a thick ring of dark lashes and that have just the slightest tilt giving her just a hint of an exotic look, like something not entirely nordic got mixed in somewhere alone the line. A straight nose leads to full lips and a stubborn chin that can give her a mildly petulant look when she's unhappy.

Despite her lack of height her body is well shaped. Firm, if smaller, breasts lead down to a flat stomach, small waist, gently curving hips and a tight bottom. Her legs aren't long but they're firm and well shaped. Finding time to keep in shape is a must for her so that she can handle moving all her car parts on her own...she's stubborn that way.
Extra Info:Micah is pretty innocent in some ways. Her whole life is her cars and her "family", anything beyond that she doesn't really care about. She's not entirely inexperienced with relationships but she's not exactly a font of knowledge either.

Just a rough draft Dis. Anything can be tweaked or changed entirely to fit better.

Defintely interested in one of the Driver positions; let me work on a character idea and mull over things.

One question though - what sort of cars are we driving?

Awesome, I'd love to have you.  And the kinds of cars we're talking about are the general streetcars, think Nissan's, Honda's.  Although the shop would work on meatier classics to, but for the most part, think shiny and lighter than the all metal frames that comprise classics.

I like her, although I would like it if she where a tad bit older.  The team would have been together for a few years now, and I see the Brains as being there from the beginning, but I'm only thinking of two years older.

If you don't mind taking the role of the Leaders sister/unofficial club member, than you could scoop up the last female drivers slot.  She wouldn't technically be a part of the club, but she would have grown up around street racing most of her life, so I can see her driving on occasion.

I wouldn't mind. A quick question though, were you going to have some kind of plot/events planned out, or will the game be mostly about daily life/events made by everyone?

I will be glad to join, that is if you have me. If you are full then good luck with your rp hon

There will be a plot, I'm just working on it at the moment.  But it will focus on character relationships and how they interact together to start off with.  If anyone wants to see something specific happen with the plot, feel free to let me know, so I can work it in while it's forming.

Hmm... I admit that Japanese 'tuner' type cars don't interest me that much. I also admit a soft spot for American "muscle" types myself (Blame it on being able to consistently beat friends of mine in the Need For Speed games as well as certain movies) which is what got my interest to begin with. Hm... compromise and having a mopre modern model as a "character" car?

Oh your character can have a muscle car, I have to admit to having a soft spot for them to.

If you don't mind playing a male character, your more than welcome to join.  For right now, we're full up on females characters.

Awesome!  I'll throw up a character thread so we can everything nice and organized.

I will be playing a secondary cast member, the last reserved spot on the list, the Auto-shop worker/Childhood friend.  She'll just be the girl who answers phones and works out appointments and such.

I'm working on my character now, although I haven't decided on what she's driving just yet.

Jenna Tabroson


Age: 24
Gender: Female
Orientation: Straight
Position in Club: Driver, racer
Specialty: Driving
Personality: Reckless, headstrong and impulsive, Jenna finds it hard to back down from a challenge. She likes speed, racing, challenges and taking risks if she thinks there will be a big payoff. Loud to the point of obnoxiousness, she tends to be rowdy and outspoken. However, at the same time, she is good to her friends and treats them well, enjoying hanging around and having a good time. She really likes her car. Really likes it.
History: Jenna was born to a lower-class family and lived most of her life in the neighbourhood. She met members of the shop group in high school, where she specialised in wasting time, barely passing classes and dropping out. However, at the same time, she developed an interest in cars, one that cumulated with her then-boyfreind who was inordinately proud of his ride. She realised that she actually found the car more interesting then him, which he took a blow to his ego. Next thing she knew, she was in a street race with him – and she smoked him easily. But the best part for her wasn’t the fact she beat him, but the thrill of the race. From there, moving into full-time street racing was a logical step.
Physical Description: Jenna is on the tallish side (173 cm) and has an athletic build accentuated by a generous figure. She is fit and conditioned, and clearly keeps herself in good shape. Her hair is long and worn loose, falling around her shoulders; naturally brown, she dyes it a deep red, but has been known to add coloured highlights. She has an attractive face but not remarkably so, centred on clear blue eyes.

Both arms are adorned with numerous elaborate tattoos that spill over onto her shoulders and upper back, with a hint of others elsewhere. Her typical attire is basic streetwear, oft consisting simply of whatever is clean that day; in truth, Jenna cares more for her car then her appearance.
Extra Info: Jenna tends to measure people’s worthy by their cars. Its an odious habit.

I like her a lot.  Although we don't have a position that's just a driver.  She'd need to be the shop's Graphic designer, or if you dislike that idea, I can shuffle it around and have my char specialize in that.
