Changed my theme

Hope it's alright.

Oh boy. Link brought me to White Wolf. This shall be interesting to read :p

[ragnarok97071]

Yup.

Not just white wolf.

Exalted.

:p Essentially the idea for the character?

FATE NINJA BUREAUCRATS.

[Powder Miner]

Oh man, I'm gonna conjurer up in this so hard.

My maptools attendance might be somewhat flaky, because I'll have to stay up late for the sessions and my parents will likely attempt to prevent that; nevertheless, I'll try.

Spoiler: My Sheet (click to show/hide)

Character Name: Leilani Kaeo
Gender: Female
Location of Origin: Honolulu, Hawaii

Class: Conjurer
Theme/Style: Ambience caster; focused on smell, taste, touch and hearing, typically creating illusions to decrease balance and depriving her own senses to increase it.

Preferred Meeting Date: Don't care; however, the time will be a bit late for me, not that I won't certainly try to attend.
Do you foresee any problems moving the playing date to Friday in Late August/Early Sept? Heck no I don't; in fact, if it's not moved, school will present a hefty obstacle to my attendance.

Character Background: Leilani Kaeo grew up in the urban center of Honolulu; while it gave her a good understanding of the modern world, it did leave her at a partial (but not total) disconnect with Hawaiian culture. Through middle school and the first three years of high school, her main worries were about school and such; the average things. However, in the middle of her senior year, she found herself in the middle of fits of sensory deprivation- and often times, people went into sensory-based hysteria around her, and her life got often more wild and often more boring than usual. It was mystifying- but as the year went on, she began to figure out that she had control over this (mostly); but she hasn't quite figured out balance, making her life quite the non normal. Now that she's managed to salvage her highschool graduation, she's been wondering what to do. And all of a sudden comes a job offer.

IC Response to Jan's Email:
Well. Uh. I dunno who you are, but I do really need this opportunity, what with the things that've been happening to me. And though I'm not really sure at all about the "killing" psychopaths part, I guess I really really need this! Count me in!

Physical Appearance (for the heck of it):
Leilani is a (native) Hawaiian girl of 18 years old, at a height of 5'6'' and an actually average build- she's not flat-stomached nor flat-chested, but not overweight nor buxom ((unlike every female in fiction ever )). Her hair is black with a purple streak dyed in, going down to her shoulders and pretty well groomed, and she has brown eyes. She usually wears a purple t-shirt and blue shorts (purple sweatshirt and jeans in colder weather), along with a pair of white tennis sandals (or tennis shoes).

HOLY GOD ALL THE NINJAS ohwait just had this tab up forever.
not all that many actual ninjas

Character Name: Miles West
Gender: Male
Location of Origin: Boulogne, France (circa 1500's)

Class: Merchant
Theme/Style (What kind of magic do you like to use? Describe in a sentence or less): Miles is a skilled temporal mage, capable of communicating and interacting with a wide amount of contacts from Earths past-he can obtain advice or information thought lost, and with great effort, transport materials or even persons from one time to another-in this way he is often referred to as a 'Timebroker'.

Preferred Meeting Date: Any of those days can work, Thursday preferred
Do you foresee any problems moving the playing date to Friday in Late August/Early Sept? (Y/N, Explain if yes) N. Shouldn't be a problem.

Character Background: Miles West was born 'Milo', a French peasants son, almost 500 years ago. At 17, he discovered the ability to 'look back' in time at past events. Concentration and practice revealed that, while he seemed unable to change events that had already happened, he could use knowledge and materials to affect his own future. Furthermore, he was surprised to be contacted by far-future mages who shared his ability-and could indirectly subvert their own temporal restrictions through his lifes actions. He spent a lifetime, learning to wheel and deal across the time stream-sometimes as a facilitator, other times a buyer or seller. Of course, his goal was always in sight, as it is for all timebrokers-to be drawn into that future, leaving a copy of their selves to live a normal life.

And so he did. Miles found transport to 1879 Baton Rouge, almost 280 years forward-also finding out that the transport tended to regress ones age and mind. It was not so much immortality as learning to do everything again, only the strongest memories and skills having been preserved.

Thus, process began again...and again...and again...

...

Eventually, the fifth iteration landed him in New York, circa 1981. He began to trade the times once more, quickly tiring of the eras quick and cheap amusements. Miles had always been a protector of some sort, and becoming a cop came naturally to him to pass the years. Criminals never really changed, no matter how much society did. It was here he met Kathryn Lynch, the person who he might have stayed for-after all this time.

But, for one who has cheated fate so often, it is not surprising that she has no love for him.

Miles was caught in a bad position during a routine job, forced to make a quick contact, and be pulled forward in time without proper preparation-and he was bringing a 'friend'. He took this something worse with him, though, only recognizing that it could only really be delayed at that time-not stopped. He saved Kathryn Lynchs life, but when he landed 2013, a freshly shaven twenty one year old (again), with a good deal of his former skill and memories gone...

He realized he had lost something much greater than merely a few years.

Miles West is a man with no direction, finally succumbing to the melancholy of his long travel. He is a lonely man, looking for a purpose and, as always, looking out for people who need help. If nothing else, he still wants to do some good.

IC Response to Jan's Email:

Ah, I was 17 when I first realized I could look back. I couldn't change anything that would happen-had to happen-but, my future? well that happened yet.
Money doesn't mean so much to me anymore, but I'm still a bit of a crusader. Even after all this time.
I like the sound of that. I've been to some pretty impressive places, though, so you'll have to wow me.
Can't be bad as pre-electricity Scandinavia.

Spoiler: My Character (click to show/hide)

Character Name: Alice Baskerville
Gender: Female
Location of Origin: London

Class: Performance Mage
Theme/Style (What kind of magic do you like to use? Describe in a sentence or less): Magic that manipulates other people, forcing them to do her bidding

Preferred Meeting Date: I don’t mind
Do you foresee any problems moving the playing date to Friday in Late August/Early Sept? N

Character Background:

Alice was born an orphan, even to this day she had no idea who her parents were. She grew up in an orphanage in the centre of London and her time there was not a happy one. One of her caretakers took a particular dislike to the young girl finding any excuse to punish her and those who decided to be with her. Because of this the young child grew up alone; separate from the other children who were too scared to get to know her.

As she grew older she spent as much time as possible away from her home, doing anything to avoid going back there. She joined as many clubs at her school as possible trying out many sports and other activities. The one thing she had the most skill at was singing. She found that when she sung she could forget about the world for a while simply focusing on the words and the music and everything else would fade away.

The caretaker at the orphanage forbid her from practicing inside the place, so not even her singing could distract her from the oppressive atmosphere. Every day she looked forward to the day she would finally be able to leave this place and as her 18th birthday grew ever closer he spirits began to rise. The headteacher invited her to sing at the final assembly to say goodbye to the school, she accepted eagerly.

She did not feel nervous as she looked out across the audience, not until she saw him in the audience. The one person who had made her life such a hell, he had come to the one place that she had used as an escape. As she began to sing anger boiled up inside her, fury like she had never felt before. She began to wish that the bastard would just kill himself, she focused all of her energy on that fact and as the audience sat in silence his body began to move.

He pulled out a knife from his pocket and conducted out her secret wish. She did not feel angry or sad as people began to scream as her tormentor’s body slumped to the floor, instead a smile formed on her face. She stopped singing and began to walk towards the dead man, the twisted smile still on her face. The orphan had gotten her wish; she spat on the body and walked out of the hall while people watched in horror.

The police interrogated her on the incident suspicious of her because of her actions after the attack, but of course they could prove nothing he committed suicide and how could she have caused that. So they let her go back to the orphanage, she moved out as soon as she could renting the cheapest flat she could find. She managed to get a job singing in a club and practiced using her powers more. Alice found that she could only use them when she had an audience and that the more enchanted the audience was with her the more she could make them do. It was only a fortnight before the Email came.

IC Response to Jan's Email:

I will come to the meeting place.

You know about my powers that must mean you know something about how to truly master them as well. If you teach me that I will do anything you desire.

@Dwar

As much as I absolutely hate nitpicking a character's backstory to make it fit with the plot I was planning, I'm going to have to mention that the first game took place ICly in the late summer of 2011. This game takes place in December 2013. Oliver Lynch would still be a kid.

If you want to submit the character application without changing anything, I will bend over backwards to allow it, but just be warned that my attempts to reconcile your character sheet with what little cannon I have will likely involve something corny like time travel or parallel universes.

[Dwarmin]

Oh blarg. I couldn't remember the time frame for the last game and was hoping it could be finicked somehow.

I don't really wanna do crazy time travel stuff...I'll go pore over my dusty old RP some more.

[EagleV]

*Sigh* Sessions at 4am in the middle of my working week? You Americans and your silly time zones...

Yeah. Sorry bout that. But don't worry, once the Wiki is ready, you can run a Euro-game or find others to run one for you.

[Dwarmin]

Hows this WS?

I can't remember if I ever got around to telling my old partners story...

It's not so much 'woohoo time travel shenanigans' as having an extended list of interesting clients...

Watching this with interest, along with giving any propective players a word of advice: It'll help if you aren't squeamish, since you'll be walking in knee-deep metaphorical shit (This being weird, that stuff reaching the neck wouldn't be out of the question however )

If any player of mine feels that things are getting to creepy, gross, or utterly immoral, please let me know and I'll tone it down. I've been rather uninhibited over my last few games because I've been able to get a decent feel for where my players draw the line.

We will start slow with the crazy, and then I'll test the waters and slowly push towards near white wolf level nuttiness if I don't think it will drive anybody away.

[Dwarmin]

@Ws: So whaddya think of my new char? Dose that look like we can make it work?

[Weirdsound]

Unless I see a fundamental issue with a character, I'm not going to comment on it until I select who gets in. It would be unfair to give some of you feedback but not others.

Since I'm not commenting however, you can assume no fundamental issue with the character exists.

[Dwarmin]

Yay, I think.

Sorry if I was acting entitled, btw. It's been so long since we've actually had so many people want into of your games, usually there's no competition.
