Re: Sign up: Nightmarchers
I've got a feeling you'll develop him plenty.
As discussed you'll be joining the group with miniphil, Doll, and Ellxeeva. You can see their character descriptions here in the sign in thread.
Currently they're talking together in a convenience store in town. You could just look through the last few pages of the RP for their lasts posts, and jump in off of that.
Hopefully that's enough info to get you in. If you feel unsure than shoot me a PM and I'll help however I can.

Re: Sign up: Nightmarchers
Name: James Cannon, AKA Jimmy the Cannon
Picture/description: Youthful and slim, but with an athletic build, Jimmy has dark brown eyes, an emo-style cut to his black hair, and a cocky grin to round out his good looks. He is just a few inches shy of six feet, with a long reach that aids him on risky leaps. Typical clothing is a slightly worn pair of bluejeans, a white tee, and a gray hoodie, generally worn with the hood down.
Age: 22
Background: Born in New York City, James spent most of his youth running around the streets and learning to climb buildings. In his mid-teens, he began to race others on courses along rooftops. A prodigy gifted with the ability to pick out the quickest and flashiest way to move over walls and roofs, James became known as “Jimmy the Cannon,” as he was always “off like a shot” as soon as the race started. His high profile in the parkour community led to a cocky attitude – after winning a race, he often disrespected his competitors, asserting that they never had a chance. Because of his skills and his attitude, he is respected by some, but hated by others. Jimmy began to travel from city to city, often hitchhiking, to hook up with the local parkour scene and get in some races, winning the majority of them. Eventually, despite his young age, he decided to take a break from the urban scene, buying a ticket to Hawaii to check out the more laid-back social environment present. He wasn’t there for long before he heard of the party scene on Lanai Island, and he decided there was no better place to stay while he was in Hawaii.
Personality: Jimmy is cocky and self-assured. A free-running race champion in various cities, he is well-known amongst the parkour community, respected for his skills, but disliked for his attitude. Jimmy is dismissive of the skills of other free runners, as he continually beats them, this is the attitude that gets him in trouble with others. He’ll act tough, and is quick to back up his claims in a race, but if pushed to a physical fight, he quickly backs down, as he is neither skilled in hand-to-hand, nor inclined to violence. A hit with the ladies, at least initially; if one takes the time to truly get to know him, they’ll learn that his attitude is largely a mask for insecurity, and evidence of a need for approval. At heart he’s a good person; he’ll help out a person in need. However, he’s still young and immature, and has to learn true confidence and respect for others.
Advantages: Parkour, Fast Running
Flaws (optional): No combat skills to speak of; insecurity regarding anything other than his parkour and running skills.

Re: Sign up: Nightmarchers

Picture/description: http://www.animefuel.com/forum/pictu...ictureid=10453

Re: Sign up: Nightmarchers
Name: Glass Skrekko
Picture/description: Attachment 35304
Age:26
Background: Unknown. Glass suffered massive amnesia due to a blow to the head when the vessel carrying him was downed. The only thing he knew upon waking was, *looking around* "I'm shipwrecked." PM me if you need details, I don't want to toss out nay spoilers SS. You'll like this I think. ;)
Personality: Unstable. He's extremely cynical, because all he can remember is pain. Years of it. Nothing specific, just prolonged agony in his past life. He just wants someone who won't hurt him, but ironically is afraid to trust anyone, seeing them as a threat. Unsure of anything, and with the world around him seeming to always fall apart, Glass is breaking piece by piece.
Advantages:
Mental Breakdown: I can describe in full SS so we can make sure it's not overly unbalanced. This ability registers when he starts losing sanity. I'll type in gradual color progression(text will be green when stable, progressing to red or possibly black at the worst) to show in post his mental state. Consume Karma like popcorn if he gets too delirious, but in return makes him extremely dangerous.
Weapon: A hidden 9" blade that slings out the top of his right glove(the left is just heavily weighted). Razor sharp, ad serrated. He keeps it away at all times, unless losing sanity or in combat.
Flaws: Mental Degradation: The longer he is stressed, depressed, unsafe, worried, or angered, as well as uncertain, his sanity plummets. This in turn drains his Karma, which can ultimately lead to quick death.
I'm really looking forward to joining this RP, just PM me SS if there's any problems with my char. I'm aiming to add some strange, yet interesting flavor with this char.

Re: Sign up: Nightmarchers
Alright, that looks interesting Tigris. I think I'll start you with Spawn and than blend in a couple others, and probably merge with Gaz.
I'll get a PM out in a bit.

Re: Sign up: Nightmarchers

Age: 20

I know it's short but I just don't want to give out much about the character.
-
Re: Sign up: Nightmarchers
The character looks fun! If you want to share more about her without showing everyone, feel free to Shoot me a PM.
Though "protective" is more of a personality trait than an advantage, so you could pick another one.

Re: Sign up: Nightmarchers
Oh, in case I get somebody new or something reading character sheets, Onna and I did finalize her character prior to her starting.
Here's that info for reference.
Quote:
Background:
She was originally born to a well-known family in Eastern Europe, the Donovans. But when the car accident happened she lost everything, their name in society, wealth and most of all her parents. She was taken to an orphanage by her uncle whom didn’t want to take care of her; by getting rid of her he got their property. Since no one in the orphanage knew who she really is they just treated her like every other child, bullied, misunderstood and most of all ignored by all. But while growing up she just ignored them too, she has her own world, a world where she listens to no one and follows her heart. Now you may think it’s not normal for a kid to not socialize with the others, but for her she got her hands full with other beings; if you could call what she sees beings. You see the accident caused her to see things, things we normally try to avoid seeing or if we could help it believe they didn’t exist at all. Yes, she sees ghosts; not the normal ghouls and stuff just souls of the dead, a floating transparent soul that’s stuck in the real world. No she is not like I see dead people – reaction more like Oh hey, are you new? Sarcastic she is, but that’s what kept her from freaking out all the time. With all these things happening to her life she grew up just fine, like every teenage girl who reaches her 20s she starts realizing she’s lonely. Since she is of age she gets to leave the orphanage and live her own life like every other adult. She starts with a vacation to a faraway place she have heard from a stranger - Lanai Island. She doesn’t expect much out of it, but she does hope to find someone special or good enough to not ignore her.
Personality:
Independent, strong-willed, protective and a street-smart. You know what people say when your clothes reflect who you are, well she believes that; for her, her outfits reflect how she feels everyday so she makes it a habit to make a statement out of her clothes.
Advantages:
Outsmarts people most of the time; sees and communicates with dead people (Can you count that as an advantage?)
Flaws:
A hot-head(sometimes) who hates people who tells her what and what not to do.

Re: Sign up: Nightmarchers
Age:24
Name: Pheonix Vitalis
Appearance: Standing at 5"6, with long fire-red hair and alluring green eyes. Pheonix isn`t the typical type of woman one would find in a heated fight. With long, toned legs and trim figure, many people do under estimate her ability and strength. She wears a variety of grecian style dresses, however when in combat, she is a bit of a minimalist to allow swift movements. Though she carries her sword, and a wrist guards to deflect attacks.

Thus being, Pheonix having skills in military formation, and her personal preference of; combination of Sword and hand to hand combat.
Personality: Well spoken and head strong. This woman knows what she wants, and will stop at almost nothing to achieve her goal. She lives strongly by the Hellenic motto "Freedom stems from Valor". She can be a little 'snobby' to those she does not know very well, but this is just to keep people from getting close. However, she is very loyal and caring to those she care and loves the most, her father being the one to top that list.
Advantages: Weapon & Good instincts
Flaw: She can be a little full of herself (Ego), and extremely bossy (Commanding)
NPCs he knows: None??

Well, mechanically the characters fine, and she seems like fun. A bit...odd with the military bit, but officers can be a bit excentric, and family connections might reasonably make a huge difference in Greece.
Also, "Greece" approves.

I'll work on getting you in.

Re: Sign up: Nightmarchers
Your character looks like fun frostbite :)
They are functionally ready to play, and I think I know where I want to put you into the game, I'm just looking for a post from Machinehead or Rogue and than I'll tie you into that.
Now a nit on the advantages, you're only supposed to start with two advantages, and you don't get more right away for having disadvantages.
Rather you either get points faster for interesting disadvantages or if a disadvantage features heavily in the RP than at that point I'd give you an extra advantage for it.
As the game has a gone a ways I'm up for being quicker with awarding that.
Therefore lets go with common sense either the extra karma or martial art as the other.
Even if you don't have the martial art advantage right away, you're still free to describe your character as being skilled in it, I just won't add the value in when I make rolls just yet. (Maybe your character is a little out of sorts and off their game right now)
But if your disadvantages make enough difference or you earn enough points I'll just add that right back in.
If you're wondering yes some other players already have more than two advantages as they've been playing a while. However your character is considered to start healthy and with full karma. In contrast characters that have been around a while tend to be low on karma and injured.
Rogue's character very nearly died, and a couple characters have gotten killed.
-
Re: Sign up: Nightmarchers
Very interesting; I have yet to go through and read the entire RP thus far. I really should...I know, heh ^.^"" But wow; which characters died? And what page(s) did Rogue's almost die? Interesting...(heh, Glass seems to be pushing it, though I have more risks up his sleeve if you couldn't tell haha)
-
Re: Sign up: Nightmarchers
Oh goodness, I've been checking this thread every day and I just recently saw this! I cant believe i havent noticed your response, I'm very sorry. I was a tad bit confused on the advantage and disadvantage part. Alright, Id like my character to have Martial arts and extra karma, if you will. Ill try and read up on the last few posts to see where everyone is, if that's okay, and then ill start posting!
-
Re: Sign up: Nightmarchers
Sorry for the delay, normally I'm quick but works been crazy the last day or so.
Anyway I'll shoot you a PM to get you into the game ai.
@Tigris.
Oh boy, it'd take a while to track down the exact pages. Let's see, who has gone down so far. LBs main, one of his NPCs, Hax's character, Hollow Ichego's character, and raycaptains character (though the last two still had some karma and could have used it to stay alive). Lots of damage all around. Rogues character had some very nasty wounds, though Machineheads got a doctor for a character and did a pretty good patch up job.

Re: Sign up: Nightmarchers
::waves his hand wildly:: My character very nearly died, too! :-D

Re: Sign up: Nightmarchers
Damn, I forgot about Hax. He died? I thought he turned into an owl. I went missing for that whole portion, didn't even know what was going on.

You have a number of options should your character die. One of which is to come back as a guardian spirit in animal form, he selected owl. LB chose to be a ghost. HOllow Ichigo also selected guardian spirit.

Re: Sign up: Nightmarchers
Name-Charles Cunningham
Picture/description-Standing at around 5'8", he has short, dirty blonde, unruly hair with a short tail in the back. He has green eyes, and has a small scar cutting across the right side of his face. He usually has an apathetic expression on his face. He's wearing an open green trench coat, with a black long-sleeved T-shirt on, and grey cargo pants. He wears a simple chain necklace that has the 9 pointed star of the Ba'hai faith.
Age-23
Background-Born to Kevin and Molly Stevenson, Charles has had a life dominated mostly by down moments. As a young child, his father was abusive to both him and his mother. At five years old, his mother finally got the courage to divorce his father, but it would not be the last time they saw him. Two years later, his mother met his future stepfather, Ollie Cunningham, and a year later not only would they marry, but his little sister Jenny would be born.
Ollie would be the person to get him into Kendo, which he would eventually be incredibly greatful for, as practicing it would help him get through most of his bad days after school. He was made fun of and picked on alot because he tended to stick to himself. He never really bothered to find out why they singled him out, and this would help him to eventually become very apathetic towards others.
At the age of twelve, his family moved from Wisconsin to California. He'd held no hopes of not being made fun of, though at his new school it was usually due to his avoidance of drugs and alcohol. four years later would be a day he would never forget.
The day his mother left.
Their had always been a part of her that was upset about leaving Kevin, but for some reason one day she just up and left, saying that Kevin needed her. He never heard or knew anything beyond that, but it devastated him. If it wasn't for the fact that Ollie had stayed and continued being their step-father, he had a feeling he would have withdrawn from the world. Instead, he began to focus almost solely on his own well being. He knew Ollie very well, but he couldn't be certain that he wouldn't do the same thing. After all, hadn't he known his mother his entire life?
At the age of twenty, Ollie told him that a friend of his was opening a Kendo on Lanai Island, and needed instructors. Using the savings he'd made with his part-time job, he accepted the offer, taking the chance to go on his own and not have the worries of being at home.
3 years of teaching Kendo later, an aquintance of his at the Dojo gave him a weekend pass for the Manele Bay Resort. Not having anything better to do, he took the oppurtunity, figuring it'd be better than spending another weekend watching the same old shows and movies.
Personality-Somewhat of a loner due to his past as a child and as a teenager, he is also generally apathetic to the problems of others. However, there are the occasionally people he opens up to. The number of them could be counted on one hand.
Advantages-15 years of Kendo, Katanna
Flaws-Tends to think of self first, trust issues, favors his right side in attacks
NPC-Ollie, his step-father. Back in Cali. Jenny, his half-sister, back in Cali. Orlando, owner of the Dojo he teaches at.
Finally got it posted, but am currently using a library comp, so I don't know how soon I'll be able to be active in the RP sunny.

Re: Sign up: Nightmarchers
Well the character is cool and detailed (eerily so)
Though animereality hasn't posted yet... I'll send you a PM about jumping in when I'm sure of where that would be.
