Yes. Not sure when my character will get there; maybe early afternoon/midafternoon?

I hope you guys like this insight into Amelia.

For Zark and Rev, we can do a quick chain of posts if that works for you guys.

For Segral and Atria, how did you two want to connect with us?

For Bentus and Fin converging on the casino, was there anything I could do to help, or did you want to stay on your own for now? I eventually plan to post a mob POV. Would you like me to add any hooks?

For the rest, did you need anything for me to push you guys toward the casino?


Going to pop into the casino as well

Spelling Mistakes fixed, small addition to Biography

Postby Stollberg-Stolberg » Tue Nov 29, 2022 3:26 pm

Character Name: George Theodor Dartmoor
Gender: Male
Age: 56
Appearance:
Image

Occupation: Librarian and small time Art Collector

Personality:George has a reserved personality where he likes to sit or stand around in moody corridors of administrative buildings. This makes him seem strange to people who are not acquainted with him, but in all actuality, he loves to be helpful and social. Often he can be seen talking to guests at Art Auctions or entertaining his friends and family. Though he has a more serious side when in contact with subordinates of his, especially when they mess up.
Biography: G.T. Dartmoor was born to a Cornish Father and a Dutch Mother, his father came from a line of Historians and Librarians which made a huge impact on the young lad. The Mother on the other hand was the daughter of an Investor. When both emigrated after marriage to Nueva Iberia they settled in the city of Del Rey by the Santa Francesca District where they both found work.

When he was growing up in the Family Home he was taught many important lessons by his Parents, with the occasional visit from his grandparents. At school, he excelled with his grades making learning a virtue, but he did find time to participate in Student Activities like Drama. He always participated in class but was quiet when he felt like he had nothing to say, though his friends did get to see the other side of him more frequently. When he finished his education he was trained in bookkeeping and library sciences.

At first, he had no luck trying to find work, but through luck, or Providence he managed to be accepted at the national museum as an Assistant Librarian by the age of 22. To congratulate him his Grandfather on the Mothers side financed him a rare artefact, a magnifying glass. As he tried it out during the visit he saw that it had some, unusual properties. It seemed to make him find things way easier by highlighting them, Phrases in books, and Items in Rooms, and it even made lines to items that he looked for when he focused his mind on the problem. While he was working and still young, he met his future wife.

Perhaps due to this, he rose through the ranks of the Library Staff, first as Senior Assistant, then as Associate Librarian, and lastly, when he was 44 he got the promotion to Librarian. Having inherited money from his Grandparents he started to secure the Family House but also redecorated parts of it by buying two or three paintings from somewhat famous artists. During the Earthquake of 73, he was almost squashed by a cascade of Books and Documents at work but luckily was only minorly injured, when he returned home he found everything in order. Sadly his parents passed away by the year of 1980.

Now his life is pretty bleak and he does not have too much Family anymore, mostly his brother and his family who moved out a couple of years after he was born. He still works as a Librarian.



RP History:


Artificer Application
Artifact: The Searchers Friend
Appearance: Magnifying Glass with a decorative Wooden Handle
Inheritor or Practitioner?: Inheritor
Years of Practice: 34
Ability: Finding certain Objects and Words/Images when the User concentrates on them and is not disturbed too much. Can create lines on Floors, Walls, and ceilings to lead the User to the Object when outside the Room.
Strengths: Gives the User insight into the location of objects and Words/images
Limitations: Cannot find Moving Objects or People, requires some degree of concentration.
History: Created in 1871 [as inscribed on the Handle] in Germany it first found its way into the Court of the Duke of Saxe-Coburg. It was used extensively during that time but was stolen in a robbing operation during the year 1929. Luckily these robbers did not know the use for it and put it into a warehouse. The year 1951 saw the Item repossessed because of continuous unpaid usage bills for the warehouse. After that, it landed in the private collection of a Dutch Investor where it was put on display until one day his colleague managed to buy it from him and gift it to his current owner.

Well, due to his access to historical resources and connections he would be researching and trying to figure out from where and how these Tulpas emerged and maybe try to inform the public when something of value is found out. So he would be trying to understand the Tulpas and maybe get into separate conflicts along the way.

I like the idea, though I noticed you left the RP history empty. Do you have an example you can share?

Apologies for the delay, this week has been very busy for me. I'll go ahead and accept you, though I would recommend reading other character bios to see if you can easily interact with them,

Character Name: Willis Philips
Gender: Male
Age: 33
Appearance: https://imgur.com/a/Rz8ORcp
Occupation: Augmentologist
Personality: Willis has a scrutinizing personality, but is also known to be fiercely loyal to his clients. He's also a bit of a daredevil, often taking on dangerous and illegal augmentations that other ripperdocs refuse to touch. A trendsetter in the augmentations scene, he is always on the lookout for the next big thing, looking for new and innovative ways to improve his work, and constantly experimenting with new technologies and techniques.
Biography: Willis Philips grew up in a lower-class family, with a father who struggled to make ends meet and a mother who worked multiple jobs to support the family. Despite the challenges he faced growing up, Willis was a bright and ambitious young man who was determined to make something of himself. He worked hard to put himself through college, where he studied engineering and gained a deep understanding of the inner workings of machines and technology.

However, Willis was unable to pay off his student debt after graduation. In an effort to make ends meet, Willis made his skills available for illicit employment. Willis quickly discovered the growing market for cybernetic enhancements and augmentations, which were becoming increasingly popular among the city's criminal underworld. Seeing an opportunity to turn his passion for technology into a profitable business, Willis began working as a "ripperdoc", specializing in the installation and maintenance of cybernetic enhancements and augmentations for criminals and other shady characters. His services are not restricted to the criminal underworld, he also offers his services to people from all walks of life who can't afford the expensive cybernetic enhancements from legal companies and hospitals.

Through his work as a ripperdoc, Willis has gained a reputation for being both skilled and reliable. He's able to handle a wide range of augmentations, from simple cybernetic limbs to more complex neural interfaces. His work has brought him into contact with a variety of criminal elements, including organized crime syndicates and gang members, and it's unavoidable to get caught up in their illegal activities. Although he managed to pay off his student debt, Willis soon found himself in over his head with debt from gambling and other vices.

With his debtors closing in, Willis decided to leave his old life behind and start fresh in Del Rey. He knew that it would be a tough road, but he was determined to make a better life for himself.

Example


Name of Spectre: Limited Tolerance
Appearance: The colony of mathematical equations that make up the spectre appears to be constantly in motion, as if they were being drawn and repelled by some unseen force, shifting and swirling in a mesmerizing and chaotic pattern. The units range in size and complexity, from intricate and large equations to smaller, simpler ones. The colony is cast in a deep gray hue, with flashes of neon blue and green intensifying the equations.
Appearance Type: Colony
Intelligence Type: Non-sapient
Ability Type: Close Range

Ability: Limited Tolerance grants the user the ability to manipulate the repulsive force between objects. The effective range is 10 meters, and the ability does not require field of vision to activate.
Strengths: This ability can be used to fly by pushing away air molecules, to deflect incoming projectiles, or even disintegrate solid objects. The user can also use this power to manipulate liquids and gases, creating a powerful repulsive force to push away objects.
Limitations: The higher the density of the material, the more difficult it will be to use this power, and the closer the user must stand to affect the material. With direct contact, the user can cause an instant disintegration of any solid object, while from a distance, they can create an intense feeling of physical tearing.

A second Organic Mechanic, nice.

Funny meme lol, but yeah, can you find another reference?

Where is he originally from?

Can you expand out what you mean by Limited Tolerance's abilities? Like a more in depth explanation. I'm not sure if I understand it fully.

Despite the challenges he faced growing up, Willis was a bright and ambitious young man who was determined to make something of himself. He worked hard to put himself through college, where he studied engineering and gained a deep understanding of the inner workings of machines and technology.

The colony is cast in a deep gray hue, with flashes of neon blue and green intensifying the equations.
Appearance Type: Colony
Intelligence Type: Non-sapient
Ability Type: Close Range

Ability: Limited Tolerance allows users to manipulate the repulsive force between objects. In physics, repulsive forces are the opposite of attractive forces. Attractive forces are the forces that draw two objects together while repulsive forces are those that push two objects away from each other.

Repulsive forces are created when two objects that have the same charge (positive or negative) come into close proximity. This phenomenon is known as electrostatic repulsion. When two objects with the same charge come close together, the charges on each object repel each other, creating a repulsive force.

Limited Tolerance works by manipulating the polarity of the objects in order to either increase or decrease the repulsive force between them. By increasing the charge on one object, the repulsive force will be increased, pushing the two objects further away from each other. Conversely, by decreasing the charge on one object, the repulsive force will be decreased, allowing the two objects to come closer together. The effective range is 10 meters, and the ability does not require field of vision to activate.
Strengths: This ability can be used to fly by pushing away air molecules, to deflect incoming projectiles, or even disintegrate solid objects. The user can also use this power to manipulate liquids and gases, creating a powerful repulsive force to push away objects.

Strengths: This ability can be used to fly by pushing away air molecules, to deflect incoming projectiles, or even disintegrate solid objects. The user can also use this power to manipulate liquids and gases, creating a powerful repulsive force to push away objects.
Limitations: The higher the density of the material, the more difficult it will be to use this power, and the closer the user must stand to affect the material. With direct contact, the user can cause an instant disintegration of any solid object, while from a distance, they can create an intense feeling of physical tearing.

Character Name: Winter Navarro
Gender: Female
Age: 20
Appearance: https://imgur.com/a/vXQtotT Winter is well built, with ropy muscles and a slender build. She is around 5 foot 10. She has bright white hair and heavy lidded brown eyes.
Occupation: University Student, Civil Rights Activist
Personality: Winter is almost stupidly brave and loyal, and if she makes a promise to you, you know she's going to set the world alight and watch it burn if that's what it took. This fiery nature of hers has occasionally often landed her in a bit a lot of hot water, but that doesn't make any difference to her. She forms deep attachements to her friends and family, which make it hard for her to let go and she can come across as jealous and obsessive over those she loves.
Biography: Winter was the daughter of British immigrants who settled in Del Rey looking for a fun retirement place after winning the lottery. She came here when she was 4, but shortly after they arrived, Winter's mum was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and died a few months later, leaving her to be raised with her father, half-brothers and half-sister and her sister. She was very close to her half-siblings, in particular idolising her half-sister Eli.

Winter had a turbulent period during her teenage years when she fell in with the wrong gang. She would hide all sorts of illegal dealings from her family, and got a girlfriend, Summer. Terrified of what her father would say if he found out she likes girls, she hid it from him for 2 years, from when she was 17 to 19.
When Winter was 18, she recieved a call that her half-sister Eli had commit s**cide. She was only 35. This naturally devastated Winter, and changed her outlook on the world to a much more pessimistic one. That year she also started working for a local leftist political party as a civil rights activist. The next year, when she was 19, her girlfriend died after some gang v!olence occured in the street and she was caught in the middle. Winter's dad finally found out about her sexuality and often belittled and bullied her for it. Winter sank into depression, until she found an outlet in training with her weapon. She had done so since she was 14, but now she started to really put effort and work into mastering it.




RP History:[/Table]None[/td]

Acolyte Application
Choice of Weapon: Katana
Armor/Weapon Appearance: A steel katana with gold leaf circuitry designs inlaid on the blade. It has a gold plated grip and a mustard coloured tassel on the pommel.
Years of Practice: 6, taught by her father who was a member of an Acolyte oraganisation
Notable Proficiencies: Winter's abilities manifest in psionic abilities. She is very good at psionic weapon augmentation, being able to manifest a golden looking serpent creature with her sword. She can also superimpose a larger image of her katana over the physical one, allowing for greater reach and a double hit.
Strengths:
  • Winter excels in ranged combat. With her far reaching abilities and a little luck, she can take down strong melee enemies before they get close.
  • Her psionic abilities are remarkable for someone so young. She doesn't look like someone so advanced, and so people often underestimate her.
Limitations:
  • Because she is so young, Winter doesn't have full knowledge, mastery or control of her abilities, which can often end up backfiring.
  • Because of her slender build and lack of substantial armour, she doesn't do well in melee combat.
Rated a 92.2 on the International LGBTQ+ Rights Index.

Apologies for the delay, fro some reason I thought I had replied to this earlier.

Great app, though with no RP history it is hard for me to truly see your strengths and weaknesses. If you would be okay with it, can I give you a short in universe prompt for Winter and you can write it out however you'd like.

I'll leave it vague but I'll see if I can incorporate your back story too:

Two weeks before the IC start, Winter is at a civil rights protest.

If you need any lore snippets for this, let me know.

Just a few lore snippets needed before I start please!

1. What is the general public's opinion on current affairs, i.e. their thoughts on racial equality, gender equality, LGBTQ+ rights, etc. I need to find something specific for Winter to be an activist for.
2. Where would the most likely place for a protest be? Outside government buildings, the corporations?
3. Would the police, armed forces, etc. be likely to interfere in protests?

1a. Nueva Iberia is a multi-ethnic republic, with most identifying as white though in reality, most would fall under the mestizo umbrella. Indigenous, Afro-Latinos, Southern Europeans, and then East Asians. However, in terms of equality, it's pretty mixed. An event that I'll go into more detail about later involved a mass indigenous rebellion in the 16th century that forced the Spanish to be a bit less oppressive; however, in general, most Iberians tend to look down on their darker-skinned brethren. It will be worse if you are another flavor of Hispanic, like Cuban, Central American, Mexican, etc.

b. It's not equal, with men dominating most aspects of society. Most would expect women to focus on childbearing and building a home; however, things are changing. Nothing legally stops women from joining most occupations; it's more indirect and subtle sexism.

C. LGBT rights are also weird. Homosexual men, ever since the Copper Men was more allowed as long as it wasn't in public. Iberian masculinity tends to be more *flamboyant* than other cultures in terms of mannerisms and fashion but outright being gay would be looked down on.

Due to the current HIV epidemic, it's soured even more.

Lesbians, however, were not accepted in pre-Columbian civilizations and were thoroughly oppressed; that mentality has never really changed.

Most citizens wouldn't know what trans rights are.

2. City Center, Universities, and Corporate Downtown is the best bet. City Centers complain about a local ordinance from the mayoral or a judicial decision, FID Offce ( Forces of Imperial Defense), for something the crown has down. Universities would be great for a more general societal trend protest and downtown for unethical labor rights.

3. If it's nonviolent, they'll let it go.

If it's a general protest, police that looks like this will show up.

If it's getting pretty violent, then the Calvary would show up.

If it's just a riot, then well

It was early evening. Winter checked herself one more time in the mirror. Rainbow headband: Check, lesbian colours: check, cardboard sign: check. Winter was extra proud of that sign, as she had written her message on the back in reversed writing, so if it was to get in the newspaper, the whole of Nueva Iberia would see what they wanted. Maybe then they would listen. She scoffed, As if. They wouldn't listen to some uni kid, they probably wouldn't even notice her. Even if she was the daughter of one of the most skilled Acolytes in the Imperial Royal Guard. She chuckled bitterly, Not anymore. Her father had been... Less than accepting of his daughter's sexuality. Winter pushed those thoughts away, joining the steadily growing crowd of people heading towards the university quad.

When she got there, a girl waving a pink and orange shawl was standing on a box in the middle of the quad. Everyone was slowly gathering at the edges, listening to what she had to say.
"We have been planning this for months now. We know what we want, and we know how we will get it!" she held the shawl up high so it blended with the colours of the sunset, "Let's go and make a difference!"

Caught up in the frenzied atmosphere, Winter felt herself moving towards the gate of the uni and out into the street. Waving her sign aloft, she joined the growing chant,
"We stand for equality! We stand for all!" It grew, becoming almost ritual like as the moved further along the road.
When they reached a small square, a number of civilians had gathered there, forming a blockade. Winter felt rage boil inside her. How dare they stop them from fighting for the right thing. How could they so blind and think that what she stood for was wrong!? She could feel her fingers twitching, eager to bring out her golden dragon's fury on the world, but she reigned it in, fighting the urge. There were police lurking somewhere, she knew, even if she could see them.

Although it wasn't her that make the first move, she didn't have to. Further down the line, a member of the blockade had stepped forwards and knocked down some of the protesters.
Right. Enough was enough.
Winter reached for the sword strapped to her back, but was stopped by a man with rainbow paint on his cheeks. Looking where he indicated, she noticed police officers watching the chaos with satisfied smirks. Right. It was just a ploy to try and find a legal reason for arresting them. Those sneaky, cheating ba-. Winter dropped her hands back to her sides. She would not give them the satisfaction of capturing innocent protesters, especially not her. Not today. Not ever.
