Bio

Bios are stupid; oh, sure, everyone can see them, but I bet nobody reads them.

Rude hand gestures and shpadoinkle, there.

No, I wasn't drunk when I wrote this, but I was very tired.

So, I didn't realize that Olympia was a real place when I made my character. I thought it was just a generic city somewhere in America. But yeah I looked it up and learned that it was the capital of Washington state. Whelp. You can blame it on my being Canadian.

Also I posted.


lol, yeah, I'm a born-and-raised 1st generation Washingtonian; I actually live 10 minutes by car from this college. Some people think Seattle is our capitol just because it's the city they've heard of :P

"Zombie Fight"...


A young woman peeked around the south corner of the CAB(College Activities Building), nerf gun at the ready. She was sweating, nervous.
This time was a particularly tense playthrough- she wasn't sure if any were left. She just had to make it to midnight, than it was game over. "Sole Survivor". The one's playing "zombies" really stepped up their game, this week!
She'd lost track of her teammates- they got ambushed, and scattered. The Square was completely empty, lit up by the full moon.
Man, they just had to schedule for the Horror Story Ace of Spades? It was wide open, no cover, but plenty of space to make an escape if something went wrong. Just as she was working up the nerve to make a break for Purce Hall, something cold and clammy touched her shoulder! It even felt slimy! She jumped, turning and backing up, taking aim and firing a dart, right at their forehead!
It stopped, like it'd hit something soft, and plopped to the ground, some kind of wet stuff on it, steaming off quickly. And it didn't stop the target.
She was backing up, "Hey, hey! I got you, you're out! That's cheating! You-" The words got caught in her throat when she realized she didn't know who this was- this wasn't a student. She gasped, and turned to run from it's outstretched claw, as it's eyes began to glow red, letting out a raspy, loud moan!
She got to about the middle of the Square when she froze, looking around- pairs of red motes were appearing in every shadow, between every building- She was completely surrounded! "G-guys, whoever you are- th-this isn't funny!" She fired some more darts, but they were similarly ignored as the moaning grew louder, and they were closing in!
She threw her pathetic facsimile of a weapon at one, and it similarly stopped like it'd hit something soft and sticky, before clattering, steaming to the ground, and getting lost in the horde as they closed in. Without thinking she ran for the Clock Tower, unsure what else to do; she was acting on instinct, now, trying to find cover, high ground, something to put a barrier between herself and these... Things.
She gave a squeal as more rounded a corner, cutting her off! She tried to shove them back, but there were too many, and they'd closed in tight, backing her against the base of the clock tower! Still, she tried to fight, panicking, screaming as their eyes glowed brighter, and they seemed to surge with energy, like electricity!
"Ungh- Stop! No! No! No! AAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUGGGGHHHHHH-"



Ghostbusters:
Ecto-Charge


The Next Day...

Red Square was taped off, with campus security and local law enforcement trying to be as discreet as possible. Students and faculty moved about the campus, trying to go about their days as usual.
One example of this being Professor Abraham, beginning his lessons for the day with a half empty classroom. A record turn out! He'd thought to himself at the start of the quarter.
The projector had been cutting through a series of images; idols, cave paintings, and sketches of various supernatural beings, but predominately focusing on those best described as "Ghosts".
"-so, as you can see through this course summary, not only do the mythologies of the world consistently serve the purpose of teaching lessons on the workings of the world around them, but these lessons looked behind, as well as all around." He was pacing, pushing the button in order progress through the images. "Be it ancestral spirits, guiding their people to stability, and survival, or lost loved ones, warning of the dangers of folly. Even in Haitian Voodoo, the zombie was not merely a threat meant to frighten people into doing the will of a sorcerer, but a manifestation of the horrors of slavery; a warning of the fate that awaits those who are not cautious, who do not see the dangers around them.
"Slipping back to North America, we see a trend in 'modern mythologies'; those who've crossed the barrier often trying to warn others away from threats they, themselves, failed to see, or tormenting the one's who wronged them- That one, especially, is relevant, the theme of guilt, of punishment, of retribution, especially if it is righteous! That is why some characterize a peculiar interest in ghosts as a preoccupation with the past, often depicted with a sense of guilt, or regret-"
He held up a hand as though to prevent someone from seeing what he said, and mock-whispered, "Don't tell the History Majors!" A pause for a chuckle from the students, and he moved on.
@Theyra@DrDistasteful@Martian

Alright, move it on over to the character tab!

And with that, I'll get started on the intro/opening post. I aim to have it up by the weekend.

The game will remain open to new applications, just in case someone sees how things are going and want to get in on it.
@DrDistastefulexcellent! Take it to the character tab!

Edit: be advised, there seems to be a problem with your image? Can't see it
@Martianyou've got the green light, man!
Cool! I appreciate it, and look forward to seeing what you come up with. @Martian
(This is not a "DMPC", just a central NPC. He won't be putting on a Pack; He's too old for this $h!7.)



Character Name: Zadok Abraham

Age: 50

Major: Mythology

Personality: Enthusiastic about his field, as well as other tangentially related fields, even Parapsychology and Urban Legends.

Background: Professor Abraham is a paranormal enthusiast, and in his free time tries to investigate it, applying scientific methods rather than just gimmicks. He developed a handful of hypotheses, but could never get the funding necessary for testing, never-mind proving them. Over the years, though, his colleagues lost their enthusiasm, and eventually, once he was the only one of their group left, he gave it up, to focus on his career path. He supervises club activities on campus, and tries to encourage students to maintain a sense of wonder for the world around them. His other interests are common knowledge, so some call him "Doctor Specter" behind his back.

Favorite Ghost: The Golem

Do You Believe in UFO's, Astral Projections, Mental Telepathy, ESP, Clairvoyance, Spirit Photography, Telekinetic Movement, Full Trance Mediums, The Loch Ness Monster and The Theory of Atlantis?: "Oy; do you not pay attention to any of my lectures!?"
