Well I have been considering a character which could fit nicely into the current cast and have some role in the ensuing chaos.
So far I have thought of two, firstly a human serial killer, sophisticated and insane to the highest level, not directly involved in anything - but a nice red herring perhaps especially for the detective types. Leaving bodies and crime scenes in his wake, his deceased wife (a fabrication of his mind, to him she is alive and with him still) is with him and the main cause of his psychosis.

Or secondly a 'possessed' human psychopathic drug addict, perhaps working for one of the factions or as a mercenary type. Regular drug user of all types, using the boons they offer combined with his somewhat unstable companion - a demonic type entity which inhabits the shell of his mind, to compete with the otherwise more deadly other races throughout the city. The entity could have been 'obtained' against his will in a failed spell or summoning, and what is left of him is now split vying for control - something along those lines.

Either of those sound appropriate? Any feedback or suggestions would also be very appreciated.


Both those ideas sound amazing, but the first one is appealing to my inner Hannibal Lecter, so there's where I'd put my two cents.

Awesome! Think I've got a good idea of what character I want to make... I'll begin to work on it once I get the chance.


Awesome sauce! Can't wait to see what you come up with.

Me and @the crafty pig are working on a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge collab post involving the story down at the Santa Somabra Power Station, so once that's done I'll be posting the whole shebang here. It'll basically end with the power coming back on, but expect the in-universe timeframe to take at least an hour, maybe two.

That's some mega serious damage described in the plot post, is two hours or even a day really enough? I don't want santa som-hiroshima to happen when you guys turn it back on! :P.

would like to second this, and point out that it wasn't just a case of someone flicking the off-switch.

So I guess I should abandon my thread then? Seeing how a bunch of mobsters trying to restart the main power plant would be impossible, according to this.

Because I literally have nothing else. Restarting the power is the only thing I can think of for Andy to do that would be important and welp you guys just squashed that so thanks.

They were just pointing out that there is a fair amount of damage - and that it would take perhaps some level of engineering or Jerry-rigging or something to get it back up and running.

Perhaps it's only partially repairable, enough to restore a few power zones? Perhaps clearing out a few remaining goons, taking note of the damage and who it was caused by and then letting whoever know that the station is gonna be fucked up for some time and by whom?

If you want constructive advice acting like a child isn't the best way to get it. Its written quite clearly in the plot post that some of the consoles were broken.

That doesn't mean that there's nothing to be gained by turning the power back on, but that doesn't mean the entire city will instantly go back to normal.

Restarting the power is not the only 'important' thing to do, I imagine if I had guns alongside no skill in engineering and the world is going tits up - I'd protect wherever I live and whoever I care about than bother with the electricity. Who knows what lurks in the unfathomable darkness.

I'm just giving an example.

@Kingfisher Well that wasn't clearly stated enough I'm sorry.

Was a pissy night for me last night. Got rained on in bed cause of a huge rainstorm that hit my camp. Got woken up at one in the morning to doors slamming things shaking and rain spraying in through windows that can't be closed because of how old this army camp is.

@Tsar Gatto and @Inuyasha Hello to both of you! And welcome :)

@Everyone
Well, I'm back and fully energized. I've been mulling over a problem with the plot that me and RIengo have entered, and have pm'ed them about it. So post not to come quite yet, though I am here.

Also, I may separate Chase and Johanssen. As potatochipgolem said, I think Jo would want to protect whoever she cared about, and the first things that comes to mind is her girlfriend and mother back at the apartments. I'm not 100% sure about this plot idea, but if anyone would like to encounter Jo and has an idea for a plot line for the characters, then feel free to approach me :)

Her monsters swarmed over the control room, flicking switches, pressing buttons, and smashing consoles.

All across Santa Somabra her minions were swarming through the grid, shutting off power plants, generators, and back-up generators.

Then the city went black.


Its written right there.

HOWEVER

I appreciate that a lot of time an effort has gone into your collab, so I'd ask that we go with Tsar Gatto's suggestion, and end up with a situation where some of Santa Somabra, perhaps the more upper-class neighbourhoods, regains power, and other areas are left in darkness, atleast until the situation can be properly rectified.

JUst thought I had better let people know I am still in the roleplay as well. Am waiting on Rockette to let me know when she is ready to collaborate. Real life sucks but unfortunately we all have to deal with it before we can have fun.

I'm hoping to have my character finished today. Little bit more work to do yet, and still need to find an appropriate noir themed image for him.

Also of course to write up a delicious introduction post…

If in doubt; chuck a black and white filter on a normal picture.

Whatever it is that you find, I'm going to be shaping it into a character banner so don't fret over it too much.

An update on my current state: I read over the IC again just to get back into the noir-niche. However, I am currently in the state of limbo when it concerns Maharet, but "brick by brick", ever get that state of where you know what you want to write, but the words refuse to flow? It's maddening!.

Ah, we all know this state to well, I'm sure. Sometimes its best just to write and eventually it will take shape, other times its best to leave it for abit and wait for your inspiration to return to you.
