Do you create attractive characters?

Generally speaking I play dwarves whenever possible (so no). Whenever I'm stuck with a human they're usually good looking but then again so am I. My current character here wouldn't be a good example lol. But that's just because I had to make him old to have been a former Union soldier

What is one prevailing trait or element in your RP characters?

Hmm lets see. My characters are always loyal, respect authority, always some basic class equivalent to fighter. Generally violent.

Aliens Colonial Marines Roleplay. Active since 2006.

Hello! I want to advertise for my favorite play-by-post RPG which I joined in 2007. It is based on the universe from the movie Aliens. We play futuristic marines like the ones in the movie. I have recently taken over as the GM and I hope that anyone who is interested will check out this awesome long-standing game! Here is the link:

"Hello, how are today's sales? I'd be happy to buy something from You. It seems that you sell cigars. How much money one of them cost?"

Ellis watched casually as the newcomer hitched his horse and came closer. When he was greeted he put out his hand for a handshake. His grip was almost painfully tight. "What sales?" he chuckled. He opened the box and showed some rather fine cigars and well as chewing tobacco. "It's twenty-five cents apiece, or you can have six for only a dollar. What is your name, Sir?"

Dealing with professional thieves in my store tonight. It puts me in a unique mood for wanting to slay some bandits...

Ellis Braddock frowned as the bar erupted in violence. He wanted nothing to do with such a pointless scuffle. Turning around, he walked back out the door he had just entered. He stood out front and waited for things to calm down. He tipped his hat to a lady that was talking to a Chinese man. It seemed odd to him but he didn't think much of it. He hadn't quite formulated an opinion of the Chinese. They seemed industrious enough, but he hadn't had much exposure. Ellis finally stomped out the nub of a cigar he had been smoking. He pulled out another one and lit it with a match. He didn't bother to offer some cigars to the Chinese man as they never seemed to smoke tobacco. The thought of selling cigars to the lady obviously never occurred to his mind.

Unfortunately my character doesn't like to be the center of attention or even noticed so it's tying my hands a bit as far as posting and participating. I am enjoying the game already and can't wait to see what happens next!

Thank you guys!! Luckily I have some understanding of this as I worked two years at a historical farming museum, so I actually had to wear the clothes and deal with the boredom! Unlike my character I've never smoked or killed a man... But I should be able to roleplay it well! I'm also proud to say I'm descended from six Union soldiers that I know of.

Ellis Braddock leaned against the wall of a small shop, puffing on a cigar. He was standing on the boardwalk in the shade of an awning. He wore a dusty black business suit with a black bow-tie and a bowler hat. He had a bushy beard and mustache that largely covered the bow-tie and his face bore its usual sour expression. Beside him sat a small wooden box.

He was trying to enjoy the weather, hot as it may be. He listened to the pastor's sermon through an open window in the Church next door. He took the cigar out of his mouth and spit on the boards by his feet. Already there were many spit stains on the boards in front of him. He puffed again on his cigar.

The pastor was talking about the Ten Commandments. Now he was talking about the sin of murder. Ellis frowned slightly and pulled himself away from the spot he had settled in. He picked up the wooden box and walked slowly down the boards, puffing and spitting as he went. He left the church behind him as he made his way slowly to the saloon. Two ladies passed him and he tipped his hat. He pulled the cigar out of his mouth and had a short fit of coughing, followed by spitting and cussing. Then he continued on his way.

As he approached the saloon, he saw a black man riding up on a horse. As the man approached the door, Ellis nodded to him, without easing his sour expression. "Excuse me Sir," he spoke with a voice that had no noticeable accent. "Would you be interested in purchasing a cee-gar? Perhaps some tobacco?" Ellis took the cigar out of his mouth and spit.

@Blue Demon, my post wasn't directed at anyone. Most of your backstories are significantly longer than mine. As someone with a history degree, I enjoyed your history of Chinese immigrants in America.

I have never been in an RPG like this. Almost every RPG I've ever played is like trying to get cats to take a bath. You're lucky to get a two sentence post that's on topic. The one RPG that gets decent posts is an Aliens Colonial Marines RPG that I play online, but the last few years the posts have gotten few and far between. This site is a whole different animal as far as I can tell. I just hope I can keep up with you all!
