Shadow Metro OOC [Timelines? Yes, we have two now...]
 

This is the place to discuss the Shadow Metro RPG. Hence the title. Please keep planning and other OOC posts here. They tend to clutter up a game, otherwise. ;)

Yay! Well, yeah. And thanks! Open as in... it's being planned. :yes:

Yeah, I know. Wow, I feel like I've accomplished something today! :boogie:

yaya!!! now I need to think of a character. I don't know enough fantasy creatures!!

yesh, where is wingsy and her encyclopedia of magical creatures when you need it?

Hey, I haven't even written anything for my character. XD

okay, i think I have it figured out. I will be a gargoyle!

Ooh, that would be awesome, Kat!

yeah, I wanted to write something I haven't before

I'm looking forward to them. To all the characters, actually! (I haven't written a naga, either, not really, but when inspiration strikes...!)

cool zea.

hm, I have much more planning to do!

yeah, always good to listen to inspiration

okay so wings needs to decide on a character type. i kinda wanna do another half-breed cuz they make life fun

hai! just checking out the rp yo!

Name: Jacquelyn Jamison (JJ)

Age: 52

Species: Gargoyle

During the day, JJ is like any other stone gargoyle on a building. She has her usual spot to rest when the sun comes up. But during the night, she turns into a mobile winged creature that resembles the stone she is during the day. She has a snout and fangs and has dark grey, scaly almost, skin. (I’ll draw a picture I promise). Her eyes are black completely and her hair short and grayish. All in all, a rather scary looking creature.

Strength: She’s strong and can fly as well as see well in the dark. She is capable of very short term illusions which she uses to look human though the illusion lasts for only a very short time. Maybe a full minute. oh and gargoyles live a long time because they're only awake half time.

Weakness: during the night she returns to stone and has to take care to find a spot to roost, preferably on the top of a building or somewhere out of sight. When in stone form, she is vulnerable and incapable of movement though she is aware and can break the same as stone or crack and such on.

Alignment: chaos

here is my character, I will add in a picture and a description of her personality when I have that figured out.

Ooh, a Gargoyle! I have a Gargoyle character named Xiaf. :P
He fell off the roof of a cathedral and suddenly existed... Very fun concept, if I do say so myself. :roll: Always fun to have a character that can't recall a thing, and knows he shouldn't be among the living... :lol:

...Hm... Now what shall I do? :O I had an idea, but now I can't recall~

----------

Name: Orpheus "Orphy" Stiletto

Appearance: In human form, standing at a daunting 6'6", Orpheus has a clean-shaven head, although he usually sports a worn fedora. His eyes are large and almost bug-like. He likes to sport a single maroon suit at all times, although his shirts vary from black to slate gray... No real variation there.
In his "triggered"/"affected" state, he appears as such: Click

Race: Anthropomorphic Lobster

Alignment: Chaos

Age: Mid-Forties

Personality: Orpheus is a bit... Simple-minded, to say the least. Even as one of the Arcane, who are looked towards as being more on the sophisticated side, he isn't one of the brightest bulbs. Hell, most Mundanes with collegiate degrees make him look bad.
Besides his simplicity, he's pretty one-dimensional. Keeps track of the local sports, eats in the local seafood joints, conducts his "business" without question. At the first of the month, half of his earnings are immediately withdrawn from his account and put in his ex-wife's; half of the remaining sum is then stashed away for retirement. Then whatever's left goes to his own daily needs. Simple, simple, simple.

History: Has two kids, who live with his ex-wife, Maureen. Never really sees them, except on Christmas Eve and for a week in the summer.

Whatever else there is to know shall be discovered throughout RPs, both to me as well as my fellow RPers. Will hopefully add to this at a later date.

Strengths: He can really pack a punch... And he can also stretch a dollar pretty far. Oh, and if you're one for seafood, he's your guy for recommendations as to what the happenin' joints are.

Weaknesses: Needs everything dumbed down for him. Everything. He's also dyslexic, and self-consciously so. As of late, he's taken to demanding others read stuff for him - that's how embarrassed he is of it.

Other Interesting Facts:
-Orphy is a hitman, as well as a mobster. He conducts the simpler ends of business transactions for "the family," as well as "taking out the trash" when need be. He's trying to get away from that, though; he went so far as to even take summer courses in Accounting in order to be up-to-par as something other than a meathead.
-Whether in human or "lobster man" form, there is a strong scent of fish around him. Strong. When confronted about it, he just passes it off as having had a bad tuna melt for lunch.
-As the atypical lycanthrope turns into their wolf form at midnight, Orphy transforms into his lobster form whenever immensely aggravated. All it usually takes him is the thought of his ex-wife, and he's good to go.
-He conducts most of his "hits" in his lobster form, these days. He's gotten a bit pudgy over the years, and as such hardly classifies as a proper hitman in human form.

yesh, facade wrote a lot. methinks he thought a wee bit too much....:sweat: erm...hehe, jk!! descriptions are always good but you make mine look so dinky!! :gonk:

How is that a lot!? :gonk:

I'm accustomed to writing boatloads more... :insane: I actually kept it pretty short and to-the-point, in my opinion. :P

well, I'm always willing to knock the bar down again! ;) because I don't do well thought out.
