Games of Chance (OOC; Open/Semi-WiP; Crime RP)

Sure.

[Cylarn]

Zhuge's approved.

[Ayreonia]

We could use an Underboss; preferably the eldest son of Sonny, or a brother/sister. There should be at least one Capo role still up for grabs, and we can use plenty of Soldiers and Associates. As for the resort itself, you've got bountiful opportunities for characters within the higher echelon staff.

I could do the Underboss.

[Cylarn]

Sounds good. More than likely, the UB is a son or brother of Sonny.

Gotcha.

Sounds good. More than likely, the UB is a son or brother of Sonny.

According to my app, Sonny's eldest son is dead. I can change that, of course. Just to give a heads-up.

[Cylarn]

I would like at least one more Security guy, if not the Sec Chief. If it's not filled by Sunday, I will have Sam run Security.

Tag.

I could start work on another app if you'd like. It might take a few days, because I have A LOT of work to catch up on, in face of school starting again.

I can work around that. Up to Cy, though.

Keep to a single character.

Oh OK- that's fine.

[Cylarn]

How are the works in progress going? I will begin working on the IC.

[The Blazing Aura]

How are the works in progress going? I will begin working on the IC.

Did almost all of it and then forgot to press either the save draft or post button. Currently redoing all of that.

[Aghrabia]

Attempting to get to work on it. I'll try and get some of the big done at school today, because that always takes me the longest.

[Tiltjuice]

Working on the bio; RL has me running all over.

He is also physically strong and coordinated, able to knock out or even kill enemy combatants with one bash from whatever weapon he's holding. His time in the Swedish biker gang has made him an expert in driving motorcycles, and his criminal career has trained him in carjacking and evasive driving.

Rowdy, boisterous and an adrenaline junkie he finds his work as an associate allows him to operate independently of those who may disapprove of his actions, his employers typically only concerned with results. It is, at its core, his way of being paid for doing what he loves. Though volatile, he is not sadistic or psychotic. He does not take pleasure from the deadly result of his destructive impulses, though he is not unaware of them either, accepting their inevitability.

Weaknesses: His short temper often prove to be a disadvantage effecting his judgments and negotiation skills.

[Tiltjuice]

I'm slowly thinking mine is gonna be the char everyone else loves to hate.

[Cylarn]

-snip-

1. I have played Mercenaries, both games. ExOps and Mattias - basically the inspiration for this character - alerted me to this.

2. An Associate, especially one without a hint of Italian heritage, would remain low on the totum pole. He would not be placed in charge of prostitution, which would be the task of a Soldier.

3. His military background is not up to the standards that they should be at for such a character. There are maybe two sentences in his bio about serving with the Navy and the SSG, two life-defining activities that you could supplement with a much more descriptive backstory. I mean, hell, the paragraph format is so disjointed, compressed, and chocked full of run-ons and comma splices, that it is difficult to read. If you're going to play an ex-SF character, I am expecting work that will exceed my expectations. "He served in many black ops missions," will not suffice for me.

4. The grammar and paragraph/sentence structure is not up to par with what I want. In its current state, it won't be approved and I would actually recommend that you seek another RP. that being said, if you can write up something phenomenal, descriptive and gripping, I'd be happy to look over it. Be sure to utilize resources provided by the Mentors here in P2TM.

[Cylarn]

Again, I would like to apologize for the lapse in inactivity with this RP. Work, school, and life have been pretty turbulent at best. I will put some effort into my app, get the Dramatis Personae up, and plot our IC. It may take awhile.

[Tiltjuice]

No sweat. Having people asking means there's interest

[The Knockout Gun Gals]

No worries.

[Ontorisa]

Sorry about this Cy, I'm still fairly interested but I'm trying to get my RP off its feet atm.

If I'm able to, I'll get an app up.

[Ort]

Hey Cy, I saw the telegram you sent me a while ago about this RP and meant to reply but I've just been so busy finishing university assignments and getting ready to move into my new place that I forgot to. Anyway, this looks interesting and I've got a character in mind that's hopefully appropriate but I've got a few more personal things to sort out before I can properly commit to this, or any, RP. In the mean time, I'll keep checking in on this and fleshing out my character idea.
