Club Black- buy a character-open
 
Club Black
The room is black, fitting its name. The windows are covered so no un-welcomed eyes can see inside, but inside it is warm and you don't feel threatened. A woman with a black hoodie and stiletto boots steps onto the stage and clears her throat.

“Welcome to Club Black where money can buy only one thing--people!” She regards the audience silently before motioning to someone behind her. From behind a dark velvet curtain, a small group is pushed forward and they stand side by side at the stage’s edge. The woman gestures to them.

“Number 1, step forward. Do I hear a starting bid...?”

How This Works:
1. I notice often enough people putting out prompts and story starter ideas, but I realized that sometimes peoples writer’s block are in the character area, and maybe it’s fun to get an unexpected idea, so below are basic profiles that you can buy and once you’ve bought a character, it is yours and you own all the rights to it including changing and adding information. These profiles are like a prompt to set the wheels spinning.
2. Give these guys a good home. I don’t want to see you whoring them out on the street corner (lol!). These lonely characters just want a story.
3. I know I can’t really stop ya’ll, but don’t just take them because they’re on public domain. My main reason for putting a price on the characters is because there’s no point in having 500 copies of the same person running around. There should be something that marks ownership.
4. Things might change up, become more specific, etc, if this is a success.
5. You can tell me if this is a bad idea....really, you can.

May I have Jade? I'd be happy to pay 10g. She looks like a fun character.

Kat Dakuu 07-16-2013 05:20 AM

*stares* oh my god...is there a person in here? *puts on glasses* Why indeed there is! I'd be happy to sell Jade to you. Send me the gold and she's all yours.

Blahtastic 07-16-2013 05:33 AM

Done and done - thanks again!

hummy 08-13-2013 06:24 PM


i think this is a great idea, Kat
good luck!

Kat Dakuu 08-13-2013 06:41 PM

thankie hummy. I'm glad someone things so. My idea wasn't as popular as I thought it would be.

hummy 08-13-2013 06:43 PM


sometimes it takes a bit for things to take off
a lot of people struggle to find a character they can relate to
i hope more people pop in and decide to pick a character from you.

Kat Dakuu 08-13-2013 06:46 PM

you're quite right. I'd be very happy if people started popping in.

hummy 08-13-2013 06:50 PM


i will try to think of people who might need characters
oh!
i think mysticeyes2987: likes to role play
maybe she would be interested.

Kat Dakuu 08-13-2013 06:57 PM

haha, thanks for the help. There are a lot of rp writers out there and I'm sure I know half of them.

mysticeyes2987 08-15-2013 02:15 PM

OO thanks, Hummy for the Pin!

Kat, I'm really interested, though I have a few questions. Would you prefer me to ask them here, or in a PM?

Kat Dakuu 08-15-2013 04:21 PM

please talk to me here. I hate to have a conversation via pms when i dont have to,

Dream Castor 08-11-2014 09:42 PM

I know this is old, and I'm sorry if you don't want it brought back, but I wanted to say this is a really good idea, and it's a shame that it kinda died.

Kat Dakuu 09-24-2014 02:30 AM

I think I must have unsubscribed from this. I would be willing to get it back into shape and change things up to make it more appealing if there's an interest...somewhere. I sorta thought no one liked this.

Dream Castor 09-27-2014 02:55 AM

I don't know about others, but I really like it. I'm sure there's someone out there who feels the same.
I'm not trying to push you into starting this back up, I just wanted to share my thoughts ^_^

Kat Dakuu 09-27-2014 05:09 AM

I'm glad someone thinks the way you do. I was very excited when I started this, but it didn't get any attention at all. I would love to make this something interesting to people, but I never got any real feedback.

Dream Castor 09-28-2014 04:31 AM

I don't think it was this, I think it was just the fact that the literature section, especially the subsections, is so quiet.

Kat Dakuu 09-28-2014 05:13 AM

Yes. No one will ever look in these forums, but I don't think this belongs anywhere else.

Dream Castor 09-28-2014 11:03 PM

It's definitely where it belongs.
Hmm, maybe if we fix this up, then advertise with signatures? (It's yours, I'd just love to help when you like ^_^)

Kat Dakuu 09-28-2014 11:06 PM

You're really a doll. I can put the link in my sig again. Would it be better to make some kind of banner?

Dream Castor 09-28-2014 11:11 PM

[blush]
Yeah, it definitely would. Maybe we can get some help over in the art shops? I'd do it myself, but I'd rather have someone more experienced do it, as this has become strangely important to me

Kat Dakuu 09-29-2014 12:58 AM

important? Aw. I can make a banner in a couple days. I don't do stuff like that often, but it'd be quicker than getting someone else to do it.

Dream Castor 09-29-2014 01:45 AM

Ok then! (sorry, I wasn't sure if you were an artist ^^')

Kat Dakuu 09-29-2014 01:52 AM

Oh yeah...I went to school for art. [roll] Not that it means I'd be any good with banners.
I think I have something in mind. It'll probably end up looking creepy though. >.<
