I ate a brownie once at a party in college. It was intense. I felt like I was floating. Turns out there wasn't any pot in the brownie. It was just an insanely good brownie.

"Watch them die. Watch the Earth take them back, and in their deaths they give more to Gotham than they ever did in their lives."


You already know my story, you know who I am and everything I've done. I created paradise, it might have lasted forever...

And yet... I couldn't stand it. I couldn't stand me.



In this iteration, and in this story, Dr. Pamela Lillian Isley is an older woman, in her early-forties. She has spent most of her adult years in and out of Arkham Asylum for only ever trying to protect nature, the world - in her own way, of course. She has always been masterful at obscuring and changing the truth, creating a skewed version of events where she is the hero. Those who had died were simply faceless villains in her battle. Humans were cruel and men especially. She is the hero.

Justice League, Injustice Gang... They're all the same really, aren't they? And she's moved through them and others over the years - serving only her own agenda, to push back against humanity and protect the Earth.

Ivy has been committed to Arkham multiple times in her life. She is easily enraged, and is especially distrusting - especially towards men. Despite her best efforts to redeem herself in recent years and to live peacefully, she can be prone to spells of aggression. But, she still tries again, in spite of each setback.

She now takes residence in a pavilion-turned-greenhouse in Robinson Park, monitored closely so that she doesn't overstep, and if she does the threat of another trip to Arkham is always there. She's always been caught before. It's not like she hasn't got her ear to the ground though, she knows enough to be able to whisper a secret to the right person for the right price when it counts. She has connections.

Now, Ivy longs more than ever to create a Garden of Eden away from Gotham, but not before she has faced her true past. Following Ivy, is a Rolodex of enemies from a variety of places - a trail of scorned friends, and ex-lovers. When she sleeps, each spurned face haunts her as if she's on trial and they are her jury, but they're all she has. She hopes that her next favour and good deed is going to be enough to get her out of Gotham for good.

Why wouldn’t I want to play this character? She’s deliciously entertaining, enduring, iconic. And yet there is so much more she can give. I want to play a very human Ivy, as she works through the connections of her life in search of redemption, yet even now, as she attempts to wrong the rights she has caused, she can't help but dig her thorns in. A self-fulfilling prophecy that she'll do it all again anyway. On her journey to forgiveness with some of of the elder heroes, she finds that she is a natural mentor and maternal figure to the younger heroes of tomorrow. Just... take her advice with a pinch of salt sometimes.

"I believe the children are our future..."
Being older, Ivy sees opportunity in helping the younger heroes. She has a soft spot for them - she wants to keep them away from the path she fell upon, and still tiptoes along the fence of. She has a lot to teach, if only she can focus on it for long enough. All of these young guns can't just rely on Batman, Wonderwoman, and Superman now - can they? What exactly can they really teach them about life?

@Bonnie's Ivy sheet is...



Aw yeeeehaw

I've left my connections blank pretty much. Lots of Gotham lot in here if anyone would like to make some past connections that would be cool, I'm keeping loooooooooosely to canon and happy to workaround current characters established stories.

I'll get to working on an into post asap!

That's not Icon.


shhh...



<Snipped quote by Bonnie>

Yeah sure.


Awesome!

I'll work a sheet, should be done this evening :)
Is there any room for more characters?
πŸ‘€
Glad to have you both on board.

I’d like to get a roster of who/what do when we start this - and split out the districts of Anvil a bit :) but plenty time for that!

Now here is a friend with plenty of characters.

meow indeed


Greetings traveler, and welcome to the City of Anvil


City of Anvil is an entirely player-driven roleplay, not unlike a miniature persistent world. Play as a character you've missed, the character that you still have thoughts of "what-if?" about, that you've longed to write about. Share their story alongside the anthology of other player characters within the safe walls of the City of Anvil.

If you're looking for an action-packed, story and GM-driven roleplay, you won't find it here.

The goal of this roleplay, is to allow those of us with less free time, less time to maintain momentum to keep up with a full story, a place to scratch the writers itch with one off character posts for the characters we have played before and long to write again. This is non-commital, and you can come and go as you please, as you fancy.

For this game, I will be seeking players over characters - and this roleplay for the time being, is strictly invite only.

Naturally, as this is character driven, to my players, please put forward as many characters as you'd like. I will not be too picky about who is accepted to the roleplay, and will try not to make you change too much. I simply ask that you respect the unwritten (but many many times written) and widely accepted TES roleplay rules of RPG.

If you have by chance forgotten them, here they are as always.


Rules:


No Godmodding or Powerplaying. This is a story, not a competition to be Billy or Betty Badass. Keep your characters balanced. I don't want to enforce strict rules that stifle your creativity in creating a character, I will always be reasonable and work with you to create a compelling character with the skills that you want but you have to be prepared to tone things down if necessary.

Advanced Level. I'm looking for people who can commit not only to advanced literary standards, but players who are able to craft their own ideas together and weave up stories with their own initiative without hand-holding.

Be Considerate, Communicate. If you can't post for whatever reason, let your partner(s) know. Don't leave us with creative blue balls.

Be Kind. I really, really, really don't want dick behaviour in the OOC. It doesn't foster the kind of atmosphere I like to create. So be nice to each other, respectful, and helpful. If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. I will remove people who start ruining the groove.

Keep it PG-13. You know the rules of the guild. No naughty posts in the IC. If you really have to, take it to PM.

Noteworthy:
Due to the setting of this game, please be aware that your characters will be exposed to some absolute boredom. No, really. We're rebuilding a city following the Oblivion crisis. There's politics to do, businesses to establish, and potatoes to plant or something. Not to say you can't have your characters off on some action-packed excursion... You'll just be responsible for writing those stories yourselves.

Please no prior relationships with canonical characters from any of The Elder Scrolls games. If you wish to write up prior relationships with other player characters within the game, then by all means please do so as it can be fun. But it's also just as fun to be ~total strangers~...

Be sensible in your capabilities. Anything that your character has, must be explained in some way. For example, if they are carrying a lot of money on them - why is this? Are they from a rich family? They have a pretty swish weapon but pretty basic armour? Was it an heirloom?These are things I will question on sheets.

With everything in mind, I am always open to ideas so please talk to me in advance.


The World:


4E 18

Following the final battle, the Empire was left without an Emperor. Martin had no heir, and so the throne lay empty. But the dire need for an Emperor was gone, the Gates of Oblivion were sealed forever, and the Daedra could never attack Tamriel again. The Hero of Kvatch, for the services rendered during the Crisis, was declared the Champion of Cyrodiil.

The Septim Empire, bereft of its god-blessed dynasty, fell on hard times after the Crisis' end. Political and cultural wounds left by the war would continue to fester long after the Crisis abated. In particular, the secession of Black Marsh and the subsequent fall of Morrowind left the east in doubt.

Tamriel would enter a state of disarray not seen since the fall of the Potentates and the Second Empire. But the majority of the empire would be restored under Titus Mede, using conquest to re-establish control.






Character Sheet and Instruction:


Please feel free to simply take the basics, and create a sheet of your own design - be as creative as you like!

Characters simply need to have a reason to be in Anvil. They can be owners of a business, work in the courts, be farmers, students, petty criminals, be soldiers or town guards, or simply be passing through on their way. Happy to be flexible with you to make the characters fit the setting.
