Did an edit, so there's hope for him, but he's kind of approaching things with the wrong idea, some hang ups. Somehow I got the idea in my head that the characters should be the opposite of their crest?? embarrassing -_-U so, I really relate to the "wrong idea" thing at this point, lol

Digimon V3

Hmmm... You know, I think I misunderstood what you were looking for, with the characters. I'll keep working at it, until I get it right, or somebody else get's the part :P I'm thinking about this all wrong, that's clear now. Thanks for the input and feedback @tobiax

Night Terrors- A Modern Horror RP

Important note for players, relevant to game play- if you reduce your Odds to zero, you won't die right away, but you do become much more likely to die, so, use them cautiously >:)

Note to potential players (dubious, at this point if this is going to get off the ground, not sure what a proper response time is):

The Roles for characters are not rigid and mandatory like classes in D&D, I hope that translated well in my descriptions, but, the listed roles are not the only options! Like Archetypes in some game systems, you can come up with your own!

But, because it's not included in my initial description, but is very much a part of horror settings, here is the underrated role of:

Skeptic
This role is the polar opposite of the Believer; whereas the believer can often provide exposition, the Skeptic often prompts it. The skeptic has no time for this nonsense; now hand them some nails while they board up the windows to keep out the not-zombies!
Within a group, they are, as a matter of argument, rather than ignorance, the most likely to question or out-right deny what is going on, even if it is seemingly plain to see. This role can be an interesting and fun inclusion in a given game, as they help accommodate some roles' moment in the spotlight, while having it themselves, and can be a source of conflict within the party without derailing the game, done properly. They can also help extend the length of a game without making it drag, via complications brought on by a lack of cooperation. They don't even have to be hostile, though some of the best examples are. There also tends to be a lot of overlap with the "Coward/Traitor" Role, which I also have yet to define ^_^U

Can do!

Name: Montegomery Freemont

Age: 21

Crest: Reliability

Appearance: Shoulder length wavy dark brown hair, combed back, blue eyes, freckles, black t-shirt under a denim jacket. blue jeans, black steel toed boots. Broad shoulders, lean but non athletic build, stands about 5'9". High cheek bones, clean shaven.

Bio:
"Monty", as friends called him, didn't have a childhood that was particularly good or bad, his over-protective father was too eager to make excuses for him, and, he took it to heart. Nothing was ever his fault, and he carried that attitude into his teen years.
He didn't take much of anything seriously; he always shirked his chores around the house, He had a gold fish graveyard in the backyard, and struggled in school. It wasn't for lack of learning; he always managed to pull through and move up a grade like normal. He just didn't take it seriously, and had an answer for everything. That was something he had in common with his father, his mother couldn't help but notice.
His parents fought a lot, and eventually, his dad's answer to his marital troubles was to leave. Monty thought he'd go live with him, eventually, but, he always had a reason why now wasn't a good time. By age 15, after a difficult conversation with his mom, and 2 years of his dad's excuses, he decided his dad wasn't the kind of man he wanted to be.
He managed to graduate high school on time, but, his mom got sick. So, thinking on what he thought his dad might do, he did the opposite and stuck around. She insisted she'd be fine with a live-in caregiver, but he wouldn't hear it. She'd need additional financial support, even with insurance, so, he got a job, and has been working ever since, occasionally struggling with decisions, fearful of taking a "wrong turn" and letting people down. He still messes up, sometimes, and is very hard on himself when he does. Sometimes, he actually creates problems for himself, pursuing objectives beyond the point where others would have, reasonably, cut their losses and let it go, just to prove to himself that he's better than his father.

Ah, I see... Well, I went ahead and re-imagined the character, anyway. Trying for reliability, this time- it would have been my first choice, anyway! ^_^U

Complete change of background, and a lot less mean. Still not great, but, much less mean, I think.

Digimon V3

Hmmm... I happen to have different, less "grimdark" concept I could easily whip up, trying for reliability, instead? I can't help but feel like what I've been working up is maybe a little too dark, even compared to the other, similarly serious characters. Maybe that's the problem?

Night Terrors- A Modern Horror RP

for some good atmosphere and inspiration, there's always X-Files, and almost any horror film, but Youtube has some great material, as well! I enjoy a channel called "Strange But True Stories!"

Night Terrors- A Modern Horror RP

Alright, players, no rush, but, let's get working on characters! I'm getting started on the first "episode" I have in mind. Suffice to say, you'll be starting in the same general location (let's call it "Nowhere", since that's where this kind of stuff always happens :P), whether you live there, or not. Don't sweat the how; I'll lay it out (after a brief discussion with each of you, of course) in the introductions, good strong backgrounds help me with that.

I'm still hoping for a co-GM, if anybody is interested!
