Everbrook: A Teenage Mystery RP

I'd throw this out for Danny. I think it reflects his struggle with authenticity as well as his nature of running away from conflict / do what he's told, but beneath that, his basic satisfaction with who he is as a person.

Everbrook: A Teenage Mystery RP

Golly, now I feel like I should go add more to my CS to keep up with y'all.

I don't know who wins this arms race, but it'll probably do wonders for our characters, haha.

Everbrook: A Teenage Mystery RP

Something like this, maybe?

Everbrook: A Teenage Mystery RP

Turner Street it is, then!

Everbrook: A Teenage Mystery RP

Wouldn't Turner Street be more apt if your parents are in positions like Fire Chief and Public Defender? Seems like a pretty quintessential suburban family in good positions. Glad to see more sporty characters.

@Inkarnate

Maybe? My understanding is that there's generally not a ton of money in public service - public defenders in particular work for peanuts, and with three kids, the family's probably financially secure, but not incredibly well off. It's possible I'm misinterpreting; if the GM suggests, I could change quite easily.

Personality Traits

Good-natured: Danny is, ultimately, a basically nice person who’d like to get along with just about everybody. He’d never put anyone down or try and make himself out to be superior to them, and he’s unflinchingly polite. At times, this overlaps with a kind of severe conflict aversion – though you’d never guess it from seeing him on the field, he hates interpersonal conflict more than anything, and will appease, acquiesce, or back away on anything just to get out of it.

Popular: Star wide receiver of the football team combined with his generally positive attitude means Danny’s a pretty well-liked guy. His family is respected around the town, and he gets along pretty well with the Everbrook High ‘in crowd’. Those on the social periphery might consider him ‘just another popular kid’, and in truth he could do more to curtail some of the bullying his peers engage in (see: adverse to conflict), but most would have neutral-to-positive feelings towards him.

Smarter than he looks: Danny’s not a leader, preferring to have someone else call the shots. It’d be wrong to assume that he’s a dumb jock, however – he’s a deep thinker, and he’s always paying attention. In school, he’s a middling student – he’d be better if he had more time to study, and math continually evades him, but his command of history and English are pretty good, and he’s got a decent mind for problem-solving.

Family History/Backstory

Danny’s lived in Everbrook his whole life. His parents met in Portland, and moved out to Everbrook to start a family. Now, his father is the chief of the local fire station, and his mother works as a public defender; they’ve been living in Everbrook for 20 years, and their active presence in the community as well as the nature of their jobs means that they’re well-regarded by the community as a whole. He has two siblings – an older brother, Jacob, who’s currently attending college in Massachusetts, and a younger sister, Anjelica, who’s entering her second year in middle school.

As soon as he was old enough, Danny tried out for the Everbrook High football team, and he’s risen to prominence as their star wide receiver. He’s already been approached by scouts from several colleges interested in giving him a scholarship to play for them – he’s got friends, a normal family life, prospects, hobbies. Seems like there’s nothing terribly strange coming up in his future.

Right?

Other Info

Has a driver’s license and his brother’s hand-me-down pickup truck. Works summers as a busboy at a family friend’s diner. Faceclaim is Marcus Sivyer.

Interested. I'll see about getting up a sheet.

Off the Map (High Seas Adventure RP)

Nice to see all the interest!

@Starboard Watch Hornblower is a pretty good comparison, mixed with a little Pirates of the Caribbean and Rime of the Ancient Mariner for good measure.

Off the Map (High Seas Adventure RP)

Off the Map

There once was a ship that put to sea...

Hello deckhands and daring-doers! Welcome to the interest check for Off the Map, a high-casual RP about adventure on the high seas. Set in a low-fantasy fictional world (the Pirates of the Caribbean films are a good example for the level of magic / time period), the RP will concern the grand voyage of The Adelaide, a merchant vessel making her maiden voyage under a new captain. What is meant to be a simple trading run to a far-off colony will instead go terribly off course, as the crew finds themselves embroiled in conflicts both mundane and supernatural, blown off course into strange seas and caught in the middle of a war for the new world...

Players will play as the crew of the Adelaide, struggling to survive as they plunge through untold dangers in what will surely be the voyage of their lives. Various officer positions on the ship will be available, but don't be afraid to play as a humble deckhand - everyone will get as much to do as everyone else.

So, who's ready to go sailing?

The Curse of Sonina

If anyone thinks they might know Maxwell I'm open to discussing who and how, and what they think of each other.

@shylarah

The notion of Rachel having a crush on the foreign grad student who's four years older than her is funny to me. She'd be pretty involved with student government - maybe they met while she was helping with orientation for the students from abroad, and now she always somehow manages to be on the track when he is? (Basing that on your C.S. saying he's good at jogging)

Let me know what you think!
