[quote=@Roman] With Hexaflexagon's delightful news of an official release on John Constantine, there's no better time to submit my second character sheet for consideration.

Eventually."[/color][/sup][/CENTER] [INDENT][INDENT][i]Every time I've tried playing Constantine in the past, I've started slap-bang in the middle of his career as an occultist, exorcist, detective, magician, etc etc, and often include nearly every major event of his canon in the biography. And I usually end up directionless after 2/3 posts with no real plan or solid character development to pursue. No more! This Constantine is young. He's just been released from Ravenscar after an eighteen-month incarceration, with no home, family, friends or life to return to. His sister is still disappeared; his mother is still dead; his father still may as well be. He's a blank slate to carve scars and stories into, and there's a clear vision to begin setting him up as the equally legendary and infamous mage we know from DC today.[/i][/indent][/indent] [COLOR=BDB76B][INDENT][B][SUP][SUB][H3]C H A R A C T E R M O T I V A T I O N S & G O A L S:[/H3][/SUB][/SUP][/B][/INDENT][hr][/COLOR][INDENT][INDENT][i]I want to play Constantine because I fucking love the character. I love the morality (or lack thereof), I love the occultism, I love the magic, I love the mystery. I love the psychological horror that John brings to the genre. I want to do all of this with a blank Constantine, I want to inflict my own traumas onto John. I'll immediately start this by dealing with the mystery around John's sister and his unknown heritage, and then work on building Constantine's ability and reputation as a mage befitting his inherited title. Slowly John will build a network of allies and enemies and mixes of both, but I'll always try to keep it grounded in the occult crime-mystery roots I've always adored.[/i][/indent][/indent] [COLOR=BDB76B][INDENT][B][SUP][SUB][H3]C H A R A C T E R N O T E S:[/H3][/SUB][/SUP][/B][/INDENT][hr][/COLOR][INDENT][INDENT][i][hider=Ravenscar Psychiatric Hospital]A large mental health facility in the North of England, Ravenscar has existed in one form or another for hundred of years, and will exist for a hundred more. The 'treatment' used within is questionable and often outdated, and the staff are often negligent or outright cruel. It is not a place of dedicated healing, and most patients do not leave. John Constantine was one of the lucky few - but the fear that his fragile psyche will lead back to that shadowy building hangs over him eternally.[/hider][/i][/indent] [INDENT][i][hider=Cheryl Constantine]John's elder sister, who cared for John during their childhood and did her best to protect the both of them from their father. John and Cheryl enjoy a deep bond with each other via their shared childhood trauma, but also find it difficult to spend time together due to the memories that tend to resurface. Two years ago, Cheryl disappeared in mysterious circumstances, and shortly afterward John started experiencing horrific nightmares and strange visions. Coupled with his grief and the inability of all invovled to find her, he suffered a nervous break, and was committed to Ravenscar. Cheryl remains missing, and John refuses to believe she is dead.[/hider][/i][/indent] [INDENT][i][hider=Thomas Constantine]John and Cheryl's alcoholic, abusive, general degenerate father. still in Liverpool. With several misdemeanor crimes on his record, he works basic labour at the docks, and uses the money to drink himself to death. John reckons he's well over halfway there; with a bit of luck, he'll do himself in by the end of the year.[/hider][/i][/indent][/indent] [COLOR=BDB76B][INDENT][B][SUP][SUB][H3]S A M P L E P O S T:[/H3][/SUB][/SUP][/B][/INDENT][hr][/COLOR][INDENT][INDENT][i][/i][/indent][/indent] [COLOR=BDB76B][INDENT][B][SUP][SUB][H3]P O S T C A T A L O G:[/H3][/SUB][/SUP][/B][/INDENT][hr][/COLOR][INDENT][INDENT][i]NA[/i][/indent][/indent] [/hider] Cheers! [/quote] Also, I keep forgetting, but John Constantine is accepted. [@Roman] and [@Stein], if you could both move your CSes to the Character Tab that would be much appreciated.
