Still WIP!


Username:
    Tea.For.Two
Name:
    Bonnie Holcomb
Visual description:
    She'd never consider herself pretty, just sturdy and that's what she is. She doesn't have much of a figure (though is by no means flat chested), that lot went to being well muscled. Her skins paler than she'd like it to be, the freckles not helping either, and especially not her mess of bright hair. There really isn't much to say about Bonnie in terms of looks, she's rather good at blending in in that regard. She wears the colour red a lot, for some reason not minding how attention grabbing it can be. Anything lose enough not to get in her way, but still comfortable and she'll wear it, she generally doesn't have a preference in style besides that.
Height:
    5'6
Weight:
    135 lbs
Alignment and Profession:
    Neutral, works any and every job that comes her way, but the only steady one is at the local bar.
Age:
    Thirty - Three
Personality:
    She's mean. There's no way around it. She's a sarcastic, snarky, selfish and she wont deny any of it. She's learned that to survive in this life you've got to look out for number one and that's exactly what she intends on doing. Now that she has a brood of children to look after it's a little different, she loves them more than anything, but she's still not getting close to anyone else.
History:
    At one time she was dreadfully normal. She grew up in an average family, not doing to well in terms of... anything, but she got through it. She married an average man, also not doing to well at anything in particular, but they made it work. That all led to four perfectly normal children and a shack of a house that looked like it might fall apart at any given moment. In hind sight, she could have been more appreciative. She was a nag, she was ungrateful for hundreds of things that were perfectly wonderful, and she did make the others around her miserable because of it.
    Unfortunately, it took something like death to make her realize that. Her husband died - the cause never really having been all that important - leaving her with the children and little else. Of course she blamed herself, he was the one thing she nagged after the most and worst, and now she would give anything to take it all back.
    She never really remembered how they had managed the first year, the second being a haze, and the third still surreal. She and the eldest two pooled their efforts to earn enough to live on, leaving the younger two to practically raise themselves, but it worked and still is as far as survival is concerned.
Strengths:
    Controlling Chaos; While she might not be the most organized of people, she can at least keep things manageable. She rather likes being in charge of things, even when she knows she totally cannot handle it.
    Yelling at People; She's mean when she's angry, and it's usually enough to get what she wants... when she isn't using some other means.
    Manipulating People; When she isn't chewing their heads off for what she wants, she actually might be nice about it. She doesn't really care about what situation she might have to get into for it, she's perfectly confident she can get out of anything, just so long as she gets what's due to her.
Weaknesses:
    Acting without Thinking; She's horribly impulsive and will definitely act more on emotion than on logic.
    And then Thinking About it; Unfortunately, whatever she's done without thinking has a way of creeping back up on her and making her sick over it. It might be minutes later, it might be years later, but every once in a while she'll just start getting emotional for no visible reason.


Username:
    Tea.For.Two
Name:
    Virgil Knighton
Visual description:
    He looks the part he plays, scraggly, unkempt, maybe a bit wild. His honey brown hair never seems to be smoothed, but usually kept under his hat, and his face never falling in either cleanshaven or beard-like categories. His clothes are layered, first his dirty white shirt, then the old tattered waist coat he ended up winning in a game of cards, and his heavy brown over coat. On that hangs any number of bobbles he found interesting - old pocket watches, sometimes just their chains, spy glasses, anything really. It also serves to conceal his arsenal of guns hanging from his side, though there is one tucked into his boot as well.
Height:
    5'11
Weight:
    166 lbs
Alignment and Profession:
    Neutral, Rogue Sailor/Pirate
Age:
    Thirty-Five
Personality:
    He tries to be the stereo typical shady character, the witty come back, the arrogant attitude, making things harder than they really should be just for the sake of it. But he's not too good at that, and just ends up coming off a bit crazy. He doesn't like doing things the conventional way, whether it's for the attention or his own personal reasons was never clear, but he does at least have some sense of justice, albeit a little skewed.
    He is selfish and has no problem admitting it. He doesn't try to get along with people and he usually doesn't expect them to try either. He loves his ship, drinking, and maybe a pretty girl once in a while, but he doesn't do the socialization thing.
History:
    He's been a pirate practically all his life, seeing as his father was one. He's never known or wanted anything different, drifting on and off ships like some people change their clothes. He's never really had ambitions either, not liking the idea of having to command a crew, so he simply doesn't. Sure he's been in more than one and does at times like being part of a larger organization besides himself, but Virgil is much more content the way he is now; alone on his little ship, picking up odd jobs like murder, espionage, and other criminal activities, and over all just existing.
Strengths:
    Quick Wit; Obviously, if you're going to be a dead pan snarker like Virgil, thinking fast is something of a must. It might not always make sense to other people, but to him it's hilarious.
    Good with Handguns; He's never really been one for long distance combat, but hand to hand fighting never got him excited either. Handguns though, they're right up his ally.
Weaknesses:
    Getting Along With Anyone; Cant do it. Even if his life depended on it.
    Fist Fights; He's just not good at that, he's much more for the whole 'sneak up on them and kill them before they notice' thing.

Shadows all around you as you surface from the dark
Emerging from the gentle grip of night's unfolding arms
Darkness, darkness everywhere, do you feel all alone?
The subtle grace of gravity, the heavy weight of stone

-----------------
you are the moon
-----------------
You don't see what you possess, a beauty calm and clear
It floods the sky and blurs the darkness like a chandelier
All the light that you possess is skewed by lakes and seas
The shattered surface, so imperfect, is all that you believe

Username: BlissfulFarrago
Name: Adelle Umber Sin-Kay [Occasionally called Geerk, but that's a childhood nickname and she doesn't really like it. Prefers to be called Umber or Adelle.]

Visual description: Picture~
Another~
[I drew these, so I hope that's okay. xD]

Adelle has curly, deep-auburn hair. It's frequently messed up because she's constantly moving her goggles around and because she just doesn't really care. She has fair skin and dark brown eyes. She's slightly chubby, but she does have some muscles. She's not particularly tall or short. She almost always wears her leather-whatchamacallit [honestly, I don't know what to call it. xD], but the rest outfit varies depending on the weather and what she's doing. She always wears her locket, except while working.

Height: 5' 5"

Weight: 146 pounds

Alignment and Profession: She's fairly neutral, but currently works as a mechanic for the Federation. Mostly because they'll pay her the most.

Age: 23

Personality: Umber isn't really a social person. She enjoys chatting every now or then, but people tend to annoy her most of the time. Believing herself and her ideas above other people, she doesn't really see the point in discussing things with them. To her, most things are black and white, and her view is always right, no need to argue about it. She's fond of a few people, but it's more in a slightly condescending way, like you would treat a child.

Despite her mild contempt of most people, she also finds them fascinating. Umber likes to study in her mind what people do and think about why they do it.

However, her true interest is all things mechanical. If it's got cogs and gears, she loves it. She devotes most of her time to her work, and spends the rest reading and thinking. She's happy where she currently is in her life.

History: As a child, Umber was about the same as she is now: entranced by mechanical things, though she did have a few friends. Her fascination with gears earned her the nicknamed Geerk, short for "Gearkid." Umber quite liked this nickname, even it may have occasionally been used as a putdown. She'd still go by it if it didn't sound immature to her.

Over the years, Umber sort of distanced herself from her friends and vice versa. She decided to continue her interest in mechanics, which her parents encouraged, and become a mechanic.

Strengths: Good mechanic, intelligent.

Weaknesses: Doesn't give people enough credit, doesn't really pay attention to the world, doesn't always get along with other people.

Re: ∷∷ẗℋℰ Ɲℰẘ ẘℴℛℒⅅ∷∷ (Steampunk Semi-lit.)

Postby fawnkisses » Tue Sep 13, 2011 10:53 am

Username:
ForgottenFilly♥

Name:
Ace Connor Bennett

Visual description:
Putting his ailments aside, Ace has dark brown hair that falls about two inches below his ears. He parts his hair to the right, and his bang goes to his shoulder ( he got his hairstyle from a mess up while cutting his own hair, and ended up liking it ). He has those all-the-rage brass goggles going on, too.

Ace usually wears a plain t-shirt, dark colored trousers, and a brown trench coat. The pockets are usually bulging from all the notebooks and pencils he crams in them...

Height:
6'2

Weight:
140

Alignment and Profession:
Federation / clock repairman / mafia member

Age:
23

Personality:
At first glance, he could seem like just another shady civilian of the great cities -- until you speak one word to him. Then you will never get rid of him. Not to worry, though! He can't annoy you by talking one hundred miles an hour, considering he can't talk. Ace usually stays in the comfort of his disheveled mess of watches, gears, and other mechanical pieces ( also known as his nameless watch shop ).

Since Ace is mute, he communicates by writing on a notebook. These notes are usually sarcastic remarks or crude humor -- almost always resulting in a slap from the ladies or a punch from the men. He's a bit more of sweet-heart if you understand his humor. Despite acting innocent, Ace can kill without a second thought -- well, all but women and children. He's also one of the best secret-keepers out there, since he can't tell the secret in the first place! He is quite the mysterious fellow, and no one knows how many secrets he keeps locked inside his mind.

When not shootin' em up for the mafia, he's tinkering with clocks in his workshop. He has quite the obsession with clocks and their gears. He's usually seen either fixing someone's pocket watch, or taking apart a discarded one to make it into something new. He made himself a little watch-lace, since he hates the feeling of something on his wrists. Heck, he even has a clock built onto his goggles ( it doesn't tell time...yet ). He absolutely adores the ticking of a clock, and if he could giggle, he definitely would.

Ace is generally a nice guy, always out to save a damsel in distress. He's the type of person who can talk his way to bed -- but in this case, write, I suppose. When he's angry, Ace can give a pretty frightening glare. The only type of person he dislikes are the kind that dwell on their past. His logic is that it's over and done, you can't change it. Get over it and try to make the best of the life you have left.

History:
Ace's father volunteered himself to be an experiment -- an experiment that went grotesquely wrong. His mother was also an experiment, but one who stopped experimenting on herself before her body was terribly mutated. The two somehow conceived a seemingly healthy child, until they found that their son hadn't spoken a word, even at age five. He had no depth perception, and his left eye was clouded. After taking him to a doctor of sorts, it was revealed that due to his mother's modifications, it affected him in the womb. Ace has no voice box, and has a bionic left eye that gives him depth perception and a little sight ( implanted at age fifteen ). His mommy didn't drop him on his head, but she might as well have.

When Ace was around nine, his parents died an early death due to their modifications. They left him no inheritance, and barely a house. He found it better to simply leave his home and live in the slums. He fought tooth and nail through school, and proudly graduated. Why is he proud? Well, simply because he survived through all the rough housing from the other students, basically.

Ace came to be a member of the mafia as a child. He was stolen from the streets after a fight with a rough young'n from his class at school, and found almost unconscious. After checking to make sure he was not the son of any mafia members, he was admitted to the lowest ranks. They allowed him to finish his 'education' at school, as long as he stayed quiet -- since, you see, most children blab about such things. Ace simply couldn't. At age nineteen, he was promoted to the highest ranks.

For his regular job, he opened a watch and clock repair shop. He makes pretty good business, and enjoys being his own boss of the day.

Strengths:
Ace is good in mechanics, shooting, and writing.

Weaknesses:
The left side of his body is slowly breaking down, so he is weaker on that side, and his joints sometimes ache. Ace's mechanical eye isn't of the best quality and messes with his vision often. Last but not least, he obviously can't speak or make any sort of noise.

Other:
{ post script, for my own reference. art is done by me. steal and i'll eat your face. :3 I can switch it to a celeb photograph if you need me to, but i prefer this since it's how i see him. "orz }

((Holy... okay, let me sort this out.
ForgottenFilly, you're accepted. Your picture is fine, you don't need to go photo-hunting.
MBRShorse, whatever you can come up with! Evidently there are some constraints, video-game designers, airplane pilots, that sort of thing. If your character doesn't have a job, that's fine too. Once a few more of these W.I.Ps get finished up we can start. I'll add the accepted characters and make a few of my own to poke the plot along here and there. If any of you have an idea for the roleplay, don't hesitate to message me! Ah, and that's perfectly okay, BlissfulFarrago.))

((Alright bleh... I filled out the forms, and had it all nice, then the computer goes buggy. Sooo I filled it in again, kind of annoyed, and definitely not what it was before. I hope to add things and make it not sound as rushed, but I guess I'm just anxious to get going... consider it done? ))
