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.

What post does the current shoot-out start? I want to make sure i don't make a blunder or two.
I'll try not to disappoint, on both counts
I don't think she's anything THAT special.. Remember she's going to be all dirty and bruised and covered in ash etc. Don't get too worked up guys. Also remember Thalia only has a rudimentary understanding of medicine and anatomy, don't go falling out of any collapsing buildings on me.
Wow, i have a lot to be getting on with then. Any notable geography to take into account?
I just found a video of someone loading and firing one, it's a single shot for sure. I'll edit my CS.

thought the welrod was a breech loading single shot, where you had to screw the bolt back, place a bullet in the chamber and then screw the bolt in again. at least, the one in the picture. there are others that work like that though but they look a little bit different.


:O
I thought it was single shot too! But Wikipedia shouted me down ;(
I'll see what i can do, perhaps i can help the wounded and dying.
Good idea, i'll take a shower then get started over dinner. Any suggestions?
Name: Thalia Laurent
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Sexuality: All sorts


Thalia is beautiful enough, however it is probably considered that her charisma and personal magnetism is what makes her the especially attractive person everyone seems to talk about rather than her looks. Her hair is thick and brown and reaches to an inch or two below her collarbone. Her locks are somewhere between clean and lank, with clumps sticking together in between washes in the river. It’s either back in a ponytail, up in a bun or hanging down seductively when she isn’t working. Her eyebrows are thin and finely pointed, and her forehead is pronounced but unintrusive. Her eyes are large and iridescent blue; a hue which changes from light as a cloudy sky to deep as the ocean bed depending on where you look at her from. You wouldn’t notice it in daily life, but one eyelid tends opens further than the other from no fault of her own, creating a minutely quizzical look. The same is true for her cute button nose and full pouting lips; everything is slightly asymmetrical, which drives people mad because alone these traits are almost imperceptible to the naked eye. Her body is normal enough, appealing to the eye and well formed but for the most part hidden under working slacks. Thalia maintains a very functional view of clothing and goes for simple clothing at all times.

Mutation(s): None
Weapon(s): A truly ancient piece of equipment - The Welrod.

The pistol is manually operated using a rotary bolt, locking with two lugs. Loading is performed with a pull/push action using the round knurled knob to the rear of the weapon. The trigger is single stage with a simple safety at the back of the magazine housing. It is a simple weapon and can only take single rounds at a time, pushed into the breech by hand.
Gear: Gasmask, MREs (Meals Eeady to Eat), cleanish water (4 liters), medical supplies (bandages, tweezers and clamps, pain killers), 28 rounds of .32AC ammunition.

Faction:
Currency: $15
Short History: Thalia has had a relatively dismal existence thus far. Born in a shithole named Karch’s Close to the settlement’s doctor and a missionary from far up north. Pierre Laurent was a good man, as was Marie Laurent, but Thalia quickly grew disgusted with the corruption and decay which seemed common-place in Karch’s close. Seeking something better and promising to come back for them when she had found it, Thalia left her parents and homestead with a small stash of currency, the family firearm and a rudimentary knowledge of medicine and anatomy.
Raring to get started :D
I've done it. ^^
Valkyrie, like it
