Grand Theft Horse - (Old West Comedy / Dead / OOC)

[Daves Computer]

Much appreciated! I'm excited to yee this haw! :¬)

[Talchyon]

Alright guys! The roster is updated.

Also, I have sent messages to some people. I will be trying to do more here in the near future. Anyone who wants to continue, now's a great time to post. If you're not interested, let me know either here or in tg and I will find some way to either bump off or use your character as an NPC. Or both? Probably not both. This isn't a horror RP (or an Infinites' one where people die and come back as ghosts for that matter).

[Daves Computer]

I just made my first post. I hope it's up to par and a suitable introduction for my character.

I liked it. One thing, please don't put OOC comments in your IC post. Put them here.

Ok. I'll remove the OOC part then. Thanks for the feedback. I'm excited to continue rping

I will try to be moving things along later today. Somewhat busier IRL today, but it should work. Especially I'll update the sheriff's office with Yang now back in the picture and meeting his good twin.

He must've overslept for days I reckon. Yang that is. Buckaroo Bunjin has obviously been awake and productive.

Name: John Joseph Jones. Frequently referred to as Father Jones, or Mr. Jones, depending on if you recognize his religious authority.
Job: Founder and head of the Jonesian Christians. Real subtle there. Does a lot of preaching and sermon-ing as a result.
Age: 45
Sex: Male
Appearance:

Skills: I'm quite literate and eloquent, which is kind of a given if your line of work involves reading scripture. I also have knowledge in Jonesian theology, (which kinda follows from the fact that he's the progenitor of Jonesian theology..) and have been imbued with powers holy by the Lord! (citation certainly needed)

Stuff: My most prized item is my personal master copy of the Jonesian Bible, the same old Bible, but now supplemented with passages of my own making-err... revalation, of course!

Goals: My greatest goal is to preach Jonesianism across East Zilch, and making a convert out of every last person in town. (Considering there are like, 500 people in town, it's a wonder how he hasn't done that already.) I also want to get that darned 'sallyun' shut down, and get everyone in town to drop that bottle! Wait, temperance? Societal decay? Women's rights? I think you are quite mistaken, I want the bottle dropped in favor of the Jonesian drinking cup of course! Bottles, and all other drinking vessels, with the exception of those of my making, are cursed objects from hell! You can find more about that in Jones II 3 43-44 of the Jonesian Bible!

Bio: I was born out east to some good Christian parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jones. It was at the age of 30 that God first spoke to me, about how great I am of course.. and also to give me that all important mission of spreading his will! So I packed up my things, said my goodbyes, and left for Texas! During the long and winding journey, I was beholden to numerous visions by the Lord, who wanted to.. uhh.. clarify some things with regards to Christian theology.

[spoiler=Passage from the Jonesian Bible]And so while I slept on a carriage bound for Texas, God spoke to me in my dreams. In the form of a ball of light did he manifest, and I found myself at my feet in front of his glory.

GOD: You know that thing called the Trinity? It's actually the Quadrilateral! I wasn't sure where the fourth vertex went, but I finally found it, in you, Jones! In fact, you aren't just equal to the rest of us, you are greater in all your majesty, and it is your sacred duty to enforce that will of yours forevermore, to bring the world into a new golden age!

With the Lord's words I was enlightened, having discovered my place in the universe, as its paragon, its rightful ruler, its emperor, its...(30 more "its [self-compliment]")... its savior, its president, it's God.

Armed with this new knowledge, once I arrived in Texas, I got to preachin' my creed! Unfortunately, the Devil was also present, for he turned minds away from me and convinced the world of the falsitude of my objective superiority over them. But eventually, I found some followers, What do you mean it don't count when 'ya show up while they sleep with a shotgun? and started to grow the numbers of my denomination. Currently we're numberin' at about.. everyone on this planet. Because everyone on this planet is my subject by the most divine right, of course! Now, be a dear and let me use your back as a footrest, now, will 'ya- wait! Come back!

RP sample: I just linked to this RP..

Leave here: Hang'em

OOC Note: Much of the app above is written from the perspective of a religiously-minded megalomaniac seemingly convinced of his own divnity and godhood. Is he crazy, or is he just trying to start a cult? I have no idea.

Finally got around writing up an app for crazy heretic-man! Had to cut out the snakes, found they didn't really fit. Hope the IC writing in the app is allowed. if not, I'll rework it.

[Barapam]

A cult leader named Jones? Sounds awfully familiar...

What if he manages to convert marshal Eichmann? That'd be funny just because of the names imo.

Definitely a heretic! Colorful character. Alright. I both detest and like him. Mr. Jones is ACCEPTED! Welcome (again) to Grand Theft Horse!

Ah, yes, the Almighty Halfdan....

[Talchyon]

I see potential NFL humor here.

Doc Festy

Festy was kind of homesick. He was rarely homesick, but then he found himself thinking of his beloved Bawstuhn. Bawstuhn was really important in the War for Independence. Yes, Boston was full of Patriots. And the Patriots always won.

Maybe I should start making reference to Texans, Cowboys, Chiefs, Colts, Broncos, Eagles, Raiders, 49ers or Redskins industrial Giants back east!

[Danubian Peoples]

Nice post, Voxija! For the record, I'm planning on having Jones go on a zealous rampage against his business, not because he's a quack, but because his religion dictates that only he has the power to heal people. Don't know how to word that exactly just yet, but I am workshopping the IC post right now.

How has everyone been lately?

[Barapam]

How has everyone been lately?

Under more stress than expected. I have two upcoming exams, and thought rp:ing would be a nice way to both unwind and get my fingers writing. It would likely work, but then people around me suddenly began to nag on me about all sorts of needing help with stuff... and I'm not good at saying no, unfortunately. I know what to post though, so it's all about finding an opportunity to write.

Thank you for being helpful to other people. I hope you are able to do well on your upcoming exams, and that things slow down. We'll still be here when you have more time and the frame of mind to write something.

Anyhow guys, I have a fun idea in mind. And first, let me say that if anyone here has a fun plot idea, toss it out. I'll put it on a list, and we can work our way through some of them.

But here's mine - I've alluded to how the mayor of East Zilch, Mayor Jeremiah Slick, is a disgraceful power-hungry politician who nonetheless has duped many of the residents of East Zilch into voting for him. I have an idea for something involving him - with maybe these Fells Cargo men having something to do with it too.

Can you say, GOLD RUSH? Turning the town of East Zilch into a tourist haven, despite there being no gold in the nearby river to find? (And props for the funniest river name, if you want to suggest one).

Sound good?

It sounds Good!

Also the Nowatar River [No-Water River] an Sub-River of the Liver River if it can be

[Talchyon]

I'm going to suggest the Stickaforka river. Obviously a Spanish name.

No joke, that was my plan for Ozane, he would buy the furs from Beaux with the "gold" his great uncle left him someplace near here. I threw it out though.

I say go for it if you want. That wasn't exactly my plan anyway.

Both of the above ideas sound good to me!

I've got an idea for a disgruntled former mayor character, would that fit in with these here plans?

Sounds like a great idea. I look forward to seeing the app.
