Sweet!

I would like to dibs Elizabeth Wood for my FC, if possible c:

Edit: I'm also thinking that my character was in a relationship with someone in the gang and they split up during their last job, before going their separate ways. They then reconvene with the gang getting back together and things between them are....messy...in many different ways.

Rustic

Hmm I'm split on what I want to do. Either an old member, using Carl Urban. (can you reserve in the meantime?)

Or, have a young new member. Basically the son of one of the old members. His father passed away so he got the letter since he went by his father's name (just junior). Having heard all the stories, knowing where the hideout was, he decided to go and try to join up to provide for his family. (assuming this would be allowed)

Will have him reserved for ya.

Either way you look at it, I think both are solid routes.  If you go down the young, new member, he could get his father's letter from Earl and join up.  You could also, if you wanted, do up a little short thing on the father to really tie in everyone. I have a section just for that for the group.  Speaking of which...




Oooohkay, so since this thing got a ton of interest in a short amount of time (yowza) I a going to go ahead and officially open this up for recruitment.

I have posted a Game Information and Character Sheet thread located here...

https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=353149.0

I added in a section that deals with former and current members of the gang that are going to be GM NPCs.  These characters are there to help broker connections and tie people in to the group.

I have the reserved face claims listed there as well.  I have two for the moment for myself, as I have a sharpshooter character all done and ready, but have a male and female version that will be deployed depending on the layout and needs of the group.

I will also listen to ideas for general NPCs to be added to the group once we have enough sheets submitted.

The character sheet template is located in that thread above, and I will also be adding it to the main post.

Throwing my hat in there...would a person whose a tracker, or perhaps someone of a demolitionsit variety be needed/welcome etc?

Also the sheet in recruitment is lacking some things the one on the character page has...

Also also, requesting a hold for FC on AMber Midthunder.

Hi! I just wanted to give you a heads up as another player that I've actually put forth a scout-like character for submission (not that she's been accepted or anything yet.) I just thought I should mention it in case it sways your idea to demolitionist instead. Regardless, both ideas are cool!

Also, hi everyone! Its nice to see some familiar faces here c:

Kuroneko

The character I sent in as a highly charismatic quickdraw/gunslinger with sticky fingers. I pitched that he might get sent in often to case the place and sweet talk people. I'm sure that there's bound to be a lot of overlap with gun types. I also talked with Gnothi about a native character to bring connections to the native community, but he'd be an NPC.

Oooo, sounds really cool! Always gotta have a charismatic guy around! And yeah, I loved the face claim for the native NPC you offered :D

Rustic

I just submitted a character that's kind of a dick (Karl Urban, had to), but often does lookouts and is an excellent shot with a rifle from a distance.

I have awakened from my medication induced nap!  So many things to catch up on.  I've got a few sheets already submitted to me it looks like and will be turning my attention to those shortly!

Gah, crap.  I will go ahead and change that at once.  It was thrown together and I just -knew- I was going to fudge something up somewhere with transposing stuff. 

Also happy to see you're interested!

I saw the sheet, but haven't had a chance to read over it yet.

Also, for those interested, as we have two scout characters submitted, we will not be looking for characters that are primarily scouts at this time until I've had a chance to review.  I'm more than fine with two of those types, but three or more might be a tiny bit crowded.

And if you used the Character Sheet template from this thread, please double check it.  Apparently I didn't copy and paste everything over and cut off a ton of sections. 

Sorry about that.

Special thanks for Kadigan for bringing that to my attention.

Here's my contribution!
I'm looking to see if any prospective players, or ones with accepted characters, would like to have Kite and their character be ex-lovers. They broke up in the shit show of the Springs incident, went their separate ways perhaps spiting each other, or regretting their choices, and then are forced back into each others sphere's when called upon. If anyone does show interest, I'm more than happy to talk connections with them!

Also willing to talk connections in general, so don't be afraid to reach out! Either here or when Gnothi gets the Discord going c:

Looking forward to writing with you all!

Wow.  Some good submissions.  Took some of my ideas so I'll have to pivot.

Shall be my fellow; be they ne'er so vile,

Oh and here's my contribution.

She's lovely.

I wouldn't mind discussing a connection. Ex-lovers could certainly be a possibility. I could see them being opposites, and he would likely have lots of trust issues with her given his past. Feel free to PM me.

Seems like the story is an instant hit, judging by the interest.  I probably won't be able to send a character till Wednesday I'm afraid - being out of town with just my phone to type on is not that comfortable when it comes to working on character sheets. Though I am planning on writing a Confederate army doctor's daughter who took the trade after him, but didn't get a license.

Thank you so much :D Bo also looks great! He'll be an interesting character, thats for sure! I will drop you a PM as soon as I'm able!

We haz an OOC thread!

https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=353174.0

We also have a discord but I'm going to hold off on sending general public invites for now and keep it for approved characters only.

I'm planning on finishing up my own character sheet and opening a History thread for people who are waiting for the regular story threads to open up.
