Bio

New roleplay: https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/189457-the-eye-of-the-needle-where-fantasy-and-sci-fi-collide/ooc

Hey, I'm Catharyn! I joined the Roleplayer Guild on 2nd Feb 2011, then rejoined on the 17th Jan 2014 after Guildfall.

I was active every day until late 2015, accruing (i think) around 7k posts across dozens of roleplays. Then, I started working and had to gradually slow down my RP schedule. In 2017, I officially went on hiatus when other commitments got fully in the way of roleplaying.

This continued until the COVID-19 pandemic hit, when I suddenly realised I had a lot more free time in lockdown! So in mid-2020, I returned to the Guild with a vengeance. I also managed to get The Cradle 1x1 off the ground - a story i've had percolating for almost a decade.

My posting schedule has slowed down a bit now that the world has opened up again. I still love science fiction, fantasy and espionage themes, and generally aim for around 300 words per post.

so many criminals and miscreants to be caught :)


That's right Also, who are the criminals and who are the protectors of justice? Tricky question here.

CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS TO KICK OFF! ESPIONAGE AND INTRIGUE HO! I'm really glad the Skytower's back, Cathy. It's been too long since I've been involved in the universe.


Hehe, i'm glad you're excited. . It's been an emotional rollercoaster for me in the production stage, forget the IC

I like the first one, but I do hope he'll show some Burt Young tendencies.


I'm fairly sure that's going to happen. He plays the mob boss role so well that it'll be hard not to pick up some of his traits.

I agree, go with the first. There wouldnt be a lot of luxuries available to him out in the desert. Plus, with him being an immigrant with a hard past life, it would make sense if he wanted to stick with what was familiar.


Cool I have big plans for him. The family unit itself (The Three Jacks) is going to be very solid but also very selfish. I plan on making them see the error of their ways towards the middle of the plot arc.

Grandpa Jack's story was pretty interesting. I'd like to know more about that guy.


I can't decide whether i want to go full on sci-fi with him


Or have him be more of an old-school gangster. After being dirt poor, starting to enjoy the finer things in life.


I think the former because he's stuck out in the desert.
Okay, added now.

Have you finished writing up a pre-emptive intro Sauron?
Siphran said
Gusta :) I like the whole second generation immigrant thing, has a different past than most.


Glad you like it! There are so many possibilities available if one uses their imagination. I've added our theme tune to the OP, gonna go back through and add all accepted characters to the front page. Who's posted a character that hasn't been featured there yet; and where is it in the thread?
It blew my mind too! It engendered so many questions about faith and what we might call the soul. Absolutely amazing.
What do you guys think about my first bio? Okay?

Full Name: Jack Tiberius Thegn (Archaic spelling of Thane) III

Age: 34

Race: Human

Appearance:

A fan of classy clothes, Jack always look the part of the old school gangster by favoring old-style suits with a real clockwork fob watch.

Personality:
Coming from a long line of thieves, con-men and smooth criminals, Jack Thegn is the embodiment of Babylon's successful underbelly. He oozes charisma, the kind of aura that lights up the room and turns heads. He has friends in high places and will often be found discussing things with the most powerful man or woman in the room, only to stop and immediately change the subject as you approach. His accent is well-to-do and he preaches impeccable manner, but he has a shark-like nature which makes the polished demeanor seem like a private joke which nobody is allowed to make fun of except him. His face often features a wide, cheeky grin and his eyes glint with a devious intent. Selfish to a degree, he makes sure people who help his cause for personal wealth get richly rewarded.

History:
Thegn's history doesn't start when he himself was born, but rather when his grandfather, Jack Godwin Thegn the First was born. Godwin was from a dirt poor family who lived on the planet Beta Theta Gamma IV, a barren rock on the Frontier of Humanity's jurisdiction. When Jack was sixteen, a parasite began spreading like wildfire across the planet. Carried by humans who would become irrational and rabid, biting and mutilating anyone in sight, the corporations who ran the company organized an 'evacuation' which would only accommodate anyone willing to pay the exorbitant 'donation'. They put it down to lack of available resources, but many of the automated transports left the planet half full. Jack's family, fearing the ancient family name would die out with this plague, put all of their money together and got a ticket for Young Jack; resting the responsibility of a carrying on a dynasty on his head. He left, with only a meager supply of currency and a gritty determination to win providing the framework of everything that follows.

He gained control of the vessel by winning the hearts of the passengers; telling them that the only reason they were going to a much further colony instead of Outremer was because Babylon didn't want more refugees. Stirring up their emotions, he gained their support and quietly eliminated any opposition before taking the guards captive. Changing course, they broke from formation and headed to Outremer. The motley crew of refugees landed in the desert, some left but most chose to follow Jack Thegn. They couldn't officially work in Babylon so instead they unofficially formed Thegn Desert Salvaging Co, each with an equal share. They bought a Sandship, the Hercules, and worked their way up the ladder, bankrupting or killing off the competition till they had a sizable empire. That's when Jack purged the other refugees, taking their share so he was the sole owner.

Seventy years have past since then, all three Jacks work actively to increase the family's fortunes and to make a name for themselves in the savage world of Outremer. Since they were born on the planet, Jack Thegn III and his father are full citizens and are able to work in the city. This is where you will commonly find them, whereas grandpa Jack works exclusively out in the desert, dodging from one Tower Town to the next.

Occupation: Businessman, con-man, smuggler, general organized criminal.

Weaponry: When he has a weapon on his at all (because it is not always acceptable) he takes his custom made 'Hunter' with him in a specialized holster. It fires explosive rounds.

Augments: Augmented eyes, which give him access to information banks, communications and general HUD as well as enhanced modes of eyesight. When active, his irises glow a blueish hue which fades when he doesn't need it anymore.

Got it on Soundcloud!It's shorter than the original, but it's still pretty good. Especially for a song I'd never heard of before eight hours ago.Enjoy!


Wow, it's amazing! You only knew it for 8 hours and managed to play and sing it?! You have a really nice voice too.
I'm putting it on the front page as the theme song of our roleplay. Thank you, that's really cool of you <3
