@Kingfisher

Bow chika bow-bow.

[Lady of Lore]

I'm still here! Been tossing a few ideas around for this, think I've settled on one, so getting to work on my profile tonight. <3 Love the characters already up!

[Kingfisher]

@KingfisherThat's actually pretty awesome. I'm basically just basing Tara off what I know, though. My cohort and I have been extensively interviewing strippers in a lower socioeconomic area of our hometown, and most of them come from super broken homes.

@Valeriana

Oh yeah, I'm sure she's the exception rather than the rule. In most instances I'm guessing its not so pleasant.

@Kingfisher
Yeah.
Sure you enjoy it aswell.
Bow chika bow-bow.
:^).

@MegaOscarPwn

Haha, already tried it on with her, my friend. That ship has sailed.

[Heretic]

Interested. Will have something today!

@Heretic

Excellent, I look forwards to it!

Nice to see you here, as well!

Name/Nicknames: Chase Derrick Covington

Gender: Male

Age: 21

Appearance: Chase is of normal weight. He stands at about 6’1 and although he’s not the typical gym junkie, he packs quite a bit of muscle. He has black hair, hazel eyes, and he’s covered in tattoos.

Ignore facial tattoo

Personality: Chase is the typical trouble-maker around town. Ironically, his uncle works for the sheriff’s department, although that’s never stopped him from causing mayhem. He usually deals with difficult situations by being the comedic relief, and needless to say it’s earned him quite a few deadly stares over his lifetime. Chase enjoys being an adrenaline junkie just as much as sitting in his room smoking weed until sunrise, and everything in between is fair game as well if he’s in the mood for it.

Although not necessarily an easy person to anger, Chase will step up to anyone whenever he sees something he doesn’t like. The thing that angers him the most is when people take unfair advantage of the less fortunate, as that is something he simply won’t allow. With that said, Chase definitely has a greedy streak as most of the time he’s looking out for himself.

Bio: Chase was born and raised in Washington, DC. His father being a politician without having much of a say in it, Chase was actually the one who broke the long-lasting family tradition to attempt to find a completely different career. His family wasn’t too happy about it, especially his grandfather (retired Vice President), but there wasn’t much they could do to stop him.

In high school, Chase started taking art classes. He actually enjoyed expressing himself through art, and that’s when he first realized that he wanted to be a tattoo artist. That same year, though, Chase’s parents were killed at an event hosted for high-ranking political figures. The attack was perpetrated out of thin air, and no one could have seen it coming. As a result, Chase was just 15 when he moved to Geurchville to live with his uncle, Adam Covington. He’s lived behind Adam’s house in the small cottage since then.

Currently, Chase is about to finish his last year of college with a double major in art and computer science. Not the joint degrees one would expect from him, but Chase is smart enough to know you gotta have something to fall back on. He’s not necessarily attached to anyone in Geurchville aside from his uncle, and as soon as he has another year or so of experience working directly in the local tattoo shop, he plans to move away to be in the big city again.

Other: Chase doesn't have any alignment to either group. If they use him for whatever means, he will use them right back. Additionally, he will give up information if the reward is higher than the risk, although he knows how to sell himself just right to get people to trust him.

"Ratso"

Name / Nicknames: Jesse Aaron Fielder -- known as 'Ratso' in the Bloody Moons MC. (There was that time he bit the head off a rat on a dare, coupled with the fact that he was so skinny as a prospect, which meant naturally the Sergeant at Arms referred to him as 'Fatso.' "Ratso" kind of stuck.)

Gender: Male

Age: 39



Appearance: Jesse is 5'7", 165 lbs. He is in good physical shape (boxing, weight training) but can't really ever keep a lot of extra mass on. He would be best described as a 'wiry, tough little bastard.' He carries ink in the form of the Bloody Moons three-part patch on his back, 'Hard Luck' on his knuckles, 'FTW' on his neck, the AOA middle finger on his forearm, two outlined prison-tat tears by the corner of his left eye, 'ACAB' in gothic type on the chest, and a couple of Marine Corps tats on his arms from his stint in the service. (1 tour in Afghanistan, 2 in Iraq.) Jesse walks with a noticable limp, the result of having broken his patella and shattered his left leg some years ago, while riding as the Moons' Tail Gunner.

Personality: Jesse moved to Geurchville after his last turn inside, after having gone 'nomad' with the Moons, and it was intel passed on from Jesse regarding the town's relaxed views on crime that led to the Bloody Moons staking a claim. He claims that part of him is in the past, though he still has ties to the Moons, and is still a part of their Nomad chapter, officially. Currently works on a local road crew as a heavy equipment operator. He is slow to trust, a bit of a loner, but fiercely loyal. He suffers from PTSD, and occasionally finds it difficult to 'switch off.' Oftentimes he is soft-spoken, and there is the fire of intelligence and determination behind his eyes.

Bio: Jesse lived the life of the 1%er for ten years after his discharge from the Marine Corps. He was a good member, and bought into the life 100%, eventually working his way up to the rank of Road Captain, and then Tail Gunner, with the Baton Rouge Chapter. There was a violent changing of the guard in the Chapter in Jesse's 12th year in, involving some deaths and a lot of bad blood. Rather than weather the storm, Jesse went Nomad. Later that year he was framed and implicated by members of his own MC for a huge drug bust, and did 6 years inside. He's been out nine months.

Other: Jesse has history with Lady of Lore's character. (TBD)

@Heretic @deegee Both characters look great! Feel free to add them to the CS tab.

[Heretic]

@Kingfisher Sooo, I was thinking of making a secondary character, maybe Chase's girlfriend or something. Of course I'd have to edit him around a bit but that's no problem. If not, let me know what type of character you want/need and I'll see what I can come up with.

[Valeriana]

Well, looks like Tara will have a good bit of business :,)

I just love how all of you have super cool pictures and I have myself with fucking Thomas the Tank Engine's eyes and mouth.

[deegee]

@Kingfisher Thanks!

[deegee]

So who's starting us off IC?

@Heretic

I'd rather we wait until the balls rolling before people start making additional characters, but once things are on their way, that's fine :)

So who's starting us off IC?

@deegee

Just waiting on @Tsar Gatto and @Byrd Man to submit a cs, then I'll kick start the IC.

[Tsar Gatto]

So I've made a CS pretty much (appearance is the only missing but so far), who is basically an African child soldier who's grown up to be a contract killer - but I'm not sure how I feel about the character right now.

I'd post it up for consideration but it's on my PC at home (site still blocked at work these days - but handed my notice in yesterday to move to a new job).

Might try making something else today instead - something more up my usual alley.

Sure thing, man. Think it over and see how you feel :)

Try to put something up tonight after I'm off work.

Charlie Knight

Charlie Knight

”Sleep when you’re dead.” – Charlie

Name/Nicknames:

Charles Victor Knight
(Hates the name Charles)

Gender:

Male

Age:

24

Appearance:

Charlie has very dark brown hair, almost black in appearance that is kept short, messy and generally concealed under a cap which he has many of and tries to keep as pristine as possible. In comparison the many hoodies, jeans and trainers that he owns are much tattier and show signs of regular use and frequent wear and tear. These generally bear a skate brand or some band logo and it would be a cold day in hell before he would ever consider wearing something that could be called ‘smart’ or ‘formal’.

His physical build is quite thin and lithe, somewhat muscular though a lack of any regular workout regime or particular care for healthy eating has kept him towards the thinner side rather than building more muscle bulk despite his quite active lifestyle. His left ear has a small stretcher and his lower lip shows the signs of a previous piercing that has long since been removed and mostly healed up. He has a Celtic tattoo on his right shoulder of the Celtic shield knot within the Celtic symbol for the sun, representing infinite power, though he simply chose it as he thought it looked ‘badass’.

He often has slight dark bags under his eyes, though this is mostly due to his affinity for late nights, partying hard and of course living up to his motto. His eyes themselves are a deep emerald shade of green with lighter flecks, expressive and even sometimes intensive with his gaze. He often has a cheeky smirk or expression that shows his general lack of seriousness. Occasionally his face is covered by a thin stubble, though this is due to laziness rather than a desire to grow any facial hair and he usually shaves it sooner rather than later. He occasionally dons a green and black afgan-shemagh that he usually combines with a pair of well-worn Aviator sunglasses.

Personality:

On the surface Charlie is a carefree, quick witted layabout. He is generally easy-going and always up for a laugh, sometimes even taking things a little far being somewhat of a thrill seeker when that particular mood takes a hold of him. Loyal to his friends and honest when it matters he generally is a pretty good guy, though it definitely depends on who you ask. Others, like his old teachers or his parents might say he is irresponsible and unreliable, lazy and generally good for nothing. Some girls may tell you that he is a liar and a cheat, a two faced snake who only cares about himself and deserves to die cold and alone - but they're ex-girlfriends or jilted lovers, and he would assure you that they were all crazy and were bound to say such slanderous things. He has a clear problem with authority and doing what he is obligated to do, preferring to go his own way and make his own mistakes, sometimes only to prove that he can simply for the sake of it. He often takes risks, both in small matters and occasionally in large, betting more than just money on occasion.

Going a little deeper into what really drives him, Charlie is an intelligent but extremely unfocused and frustrated individual. He follows his whims and desires with little thought to anything other than the immediate future when it comes to making the big decisions that really matter. Instead he lives in the moment and enjoys things as much as he can given whatever situation, something that generally attracts others and makes him likable to most (especially those in situations as shitty as his). That being said he also has more than one substance abuse problem, which isn't so much of a problem until it is he isn't able to enjoy any of the substances he so loves for a prolonged period. Like every addict when finding themselves sober Charlie is downright mean and unpleasant, grouchy and ill-tempered to say the very least. Fortunately such incidents are rare and he will do almost anything to keep it that way.

Bio:

What is there to tell? Charlie’s parents were as is often the case kids having kids, his mother barley out of school and his father only a few years older at 20. His father stayed in the picture only for a few years, but eventually grew up and abandoned Charlie and his mother in lieu of a 'real life' with a real family elsewhere. They remained in Geurchville and since then he has scarcely left to travel anywhere or do anything of particular note (aside from the occasional out of state romantic entanglment). An unexciting school life Charlie was told constantly that he was bright and intelligent but simply failed to apply himself – funny how they never told him how to actually apply himself with these particular comments.

The older he got the more he seemed to rebel against the system that continuously failed both he and his mother, leaving education with barley the required grades to get even a job at a greasy spoon café. Throughout his adult life he has held a small number of legitimate jobs, but always soon getting sacked for either poor attendance or his ‘attitude problem’.

Because of this and the need for financing to live, he has turned to a life of crime with the Laurents (having gone to school and been friends with a few of the younger Laurent brothers), a scam here or there or maybe even the occasional burglary or theft - whatever was required of him. Thus far he has drawn the line at violent crime and always tries to keep things as ‘victimless’ as possible, unless of course he deems they happen to deserve such things. He has found an affinity for growing cannabis for the Laurents, having progressed from just a few plants in his cupboard to the majority of his house now being used as a grow-operation. He seems to have green fingers to say the very least, having thrown himself into the cultivating scene. His only problem is that on occasion he might just happen to smoke a little too much of his own product.

His mother, though far from approving of such activities tolerates her son's line of work - of course the fact he pays for her small house and costs of living certainly helps things - though she does wish that he'd pack up and get out of Geurchville before it's 'too late' and make something of himself.

Here we go. Much more my style. Though once things are going I do have a very nasty contract killer waiting in the wings we can involve too.

Looks great, man.

Charlie is accepted, feel free to put him in this CS tab.
