Dark Times (A Wild West Supernatural Horror) Recruitment Thread Roles Still Open

[thewomboldt]

I just think our town needs some bad guys and seedy establishments, being a western and all And Catalina has been put to work to pay off the debts of her previous employers and I don't imagine it being a good place, considering the slave-like treatment and little pay I've described in my character bio, haha.

messge me

[Capone]

I'm trying to get a sense of it, too, as the setting description makes it seem a bit shadier, like right now there's no such thing as a "good faction" and poor Duke is out-numbered by outlaws. I mean, even a lawless man might have an honor code he lives by, but one where you can slap a dame for acting hysterical and still be a gentleman. "As long as there's no mark like a black eye" sort of thing. So are the Valentin brothers rogues with a heart of gold? Or are they just a different kind of crooked from the current mayor?

they are a different kind of crook. They have their dark secrets like everyone else but i cant give to much of it away

[Untamed Skies]

NPC Thread is up, these are some faces for various roles around town. Just to give a bit more life to the game outside of the PCs.

Gotcha. Understandable, everyone's got secrets. :)

I did have another question about the Jiggly Hoots. Is it straight up casino as soon as you walk in? Or is there more of a bar/saloon setting with casino to the right, brothel to the back?

Also, some of us have been conversing in the OOC thread, in case people missed it, didn't get to bookmark it, or otherwise mark it for their "unread replies" and such.

the casino is most of the whole thing with private rooms in the back. The "company" walks around the casino floor brining drinks. I assume if you pay them enough they will help you win

Dr. Algernon Dumas

Player Name: PurpleJesus

Character Name: Dr. Algernon Dumas

Face Claim: André Holland

Age: 32

Sex: Male

Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual

Ons & Offs: Roleplaying, Intelligence, Oral, Vaginal, Kissing, Choking, Fondling, MFF, Public sex (covert), Cleanliness. Foreign beauties.

Place of Origin: Orléans, France. (Allegedly)

Occupation: Physician - Surgeon

Personality:  Generally speaking, Dr. Algernon carries himself with a chevalier sensibility. A seemingly worldly man of refine and culture. He frequently makes reference to subjects that are beyond most common peoples understanding. He has a fondness for swashbuckler adventure novels, among his favorite being The Count of Monte Cristo. He proudly alludes to his blueblood background, being a descendant of General Thomas-Alexandre Dumas of the renown Dumas namesake. His personal accomplishments are varied and many. His stories are remarkable. Many might mistake his unyielding self-assuredness for "uppityness", though he is a higher caliber, unperturbed by "lessers". His razor wit is sharper than any sword you could find. His silver tongue being his preferred weapon of choice. Though, he carries a personal revolver for those who can't be persuaded by non-confrontational means. Dr. Algernon is a self-described futurist.  He has a tendency to hypothesize at length about the possibilities of the future, and the condition of people, society and politics. He's not someone mired in the rituals of the past, he's outspoken in his support of the science movement and various other progress movements.

Known History: Dr. Algernon's reputation is fairly well respected. Being a competent surgeon comes with a certain level of gravitas among the community. Some view him as an eccentric madman for his less than conventional views.

Dark Secret:

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Algernon's background is a carefully crafted fabrication. When he's angry, his character tends to "slip" . Algernon is in fact a southerner originally from Mississippi. The son of sharecroppers. He puts on a Parisian accent for clientele. Believing people as unwilling to accept a man of his circumstances as legitimate. His skills as a physician, are in fact, first-rate. He studied at Shaw University.

Skills: In addition to his skills as a physician, Algernon is a talented pianist. As anything requiring manual dexterity. To keep up with appearances, Algernon is a fluent speaker in French.

Extra: Dr. Algernon is known to practice surgery with a partner, A chinaman by the name of Ping Wu. Skilled in Eastern medicine practices. Dr. Wu is his colleague and "muscle" so to speak.

It's always good to have a doctor. Welcome

[Tokyorose627]

It's always good to have a doctor. Welcome

Yeah I never actually thought about having a doctor until someone made one; good to know someone will be looking out for people’s health.

Though, practices back then were a bit strange right?

[TheLaughingOne]

heheeh, i had planned for skegg to know some herbalism stuff...

Maybe rather then brothel madam her being more of a "witch" without the actual magic stuff.. Yet.. ;3

depends on the doctor some tried to cure you of dysentery other sold snake oil

[PurpleJesus]

Dr. Algernon is more of a fundamentally sound doctor with good sense. Far from perfect, but he understands the basic principles of being good at his profession, moreso than what was the standard for his time. At the very least, he's well read enough to know the real from the quack stuff.

[Juggtacular]

Oh thank God. Finally someone Duke can speak French to.

How would you feel about a rivalry with another doc? Or maybe they work together now that the town has ballooned in size?

[Kore]

I'm working on putting a character together for this and I'm looking at the median age for current characters and I can't help but think, "Y'all know that 35 was middle-aged for this period, right?"

Anyway, expect something from me probably by tonight.

Thank you! Since everyone started mentioning what kind of character they were making I decided I better throw mine out here just in case lol She is still in the building phase as I work out some kinks (not that kind of kink).

Excited to meet her when you finish her! Hopefully she doesn’t wind up getting into any crazy trouble along the way. Lol
