Name: Jay (Walter Goodman)

Age: 10 years old

Gender: Male

Gang: South

Appearance: Scrawny 4'5" young boy with freckled skin. With short legs and arms he is limited in his ability to run however his stamina makes up for his lack of strength. With bleach blonde hair seemingly in a constant state of bedhead his eyes a bright hazel.

Favoring tank tops over anything he is often found wearing them along with boots and ski pants that made his short legs look even more stubby. Often wearing face paint to cover his facial features and a small air filter mask to cover the lower half of his face.

Personality: Due to a lack of any affection as a child his behavior is often led on whether or not he would be able to get something out of it. Surprising slow to anger his temperment was replaced with more annoyance than anything. Easily annoyed by others but only raising his voice when his buttons were continuously pushed. Jay's lack of recieved affection leads him to be easily flustered when affection is shown to him. Not understanding such things when he feels himself growing to like someone or vise versa he purposefully behaves more distant. This comes to one exception, animals. His fondness of animals has even led him to murdering another child for kicking an injured dog. Thus he also has a pet chicken named Betty in which follows him where ever he goes and the two are practically inseparable.

Weapon: Machete

Biography: Born to relatively old parents whom were 21 and 22, Jay was abandoned at the age of two as both parents passed away. Both parents were apart of the Southern gang and he was left in a group of other children which were cared by a couple of the members. Treated like just another waste of space he was practically the runt of the group. Malnurished and weak from a young age he decided early on that others were confusing and seeked his weakness through his expressions. So he would paint his face to hide the expressions his features made and distanced himself even more. Seen as an outcast of the group getting beat up wasnt uncommon and so he became wary of others and any sort of actions they may take he confused with them attempting to get ahold of his weaknesses and take advantage of them. Eventually he toughened up and proved himself not to be as weak as those around him made him out to be. But the scars never faded and so he is a distant child whom isnt afraid of killing nor being left alone.

Welcome to the group, Senor Bubble! Looking forward to having you! Just getting the locations sorted now.

@Rorshach's Journal whenever you want, you can set up locations to your area. I will put a basic HQ and living quarters in there for now, but feel free to have locations in there that you want same goes for @Damara when she's back :)
 
@Kid You still interested in East leader. I'm slowly getting this ready to go and should be ready by the weekend?

@Tamara Just to let you know the same, it's almost ready to go so if you're still interested in a character feel free to post one up.

As an FYI for myself, I realise that I don't have a profile for Sara and Derek for the Underground and Adem for West, so need to get on that.

I have also only posted locations for No Man's Land.

For @Rorshach's Journal, @Meliodas @Damara as approved Leaders you can create your own locations, though until I get Tiko to add you, Meliodas you'll have to just let me know any locations here and I'll set them up. I will set up HQ and Living Quarters in each section to start with as I'm pretty sure they'll have those sections. If you are starting up a thread location, the first post needs to be the description for the location. :)

If anyone wants specific locations for areas, you need to go to me or the above approved leaders. Here is the thread explaining the process: http://www.storytellerscircle.com/threads/i-want-a-thread-started-within-a-location.740/

So far I have set up the profile page too, for the accepted profiles of each gang. Just to let you know, the RP ISN'T READY just yet for RP posts. I will let you know.

Brianne "Blondie" Leigh

Age: 16
Gender: Female
Gang: The Disciples


Personality
Blondie has always been a coy, mischievous woman who used her allure to achieve her goals. Though people are aware of her antics, they often find something genuine in the warmth she displays.

Biography
Blondie has been a part of The Disciples for as long as she can remember and took to heart their creeds. Exploitation became a fun hobby, which then became a valuable skill. Little did they know that she used these to the disadvantage of her own gang from time to time.

When she first became a teenager, Blondie fell in love.

Or so she believed. Life is short and for teenagers in the prime of those short lives, when hormones were just beginning to bubble, she really thought that was it. It was a boy from another gang, nothing Eve would have been happy to hear, but Blondie was too good at keeping secrets. He would sneak over the border to meet her, give her information, and she would do the same to him. One day, she was approached about her frequent visits beyond the compound. In a ruthless interrogation, she ousted her lover and gained trust from the Disciples for spotting an intruder.

When she next visited their spot, she never found him again. Blondie convinced herself that he had died on her behalf, causing her to distance herself from others romantically.

Weapons:


  • Small shiv
  • Handgun

Claudia Cyrene Driscol
5616_1224258689624_1323690032_30622.jpg

Age: 17
Gender: Female
Gang: Thanatos Instinct​

Appearance​
Claudia stands at about 5'4", and has a very thin build. Her light brown eyes show her soft, kind soul, and are a compliment to her dusty blonde hair. Her skin is tan in color from her days of wandering in the sun, and she has small cuts on her hands, arms, and legs from falling, or gathering supplies.

Weapons​
Claudia doesn't like fighting, and she never has. She's a healer, and therefore carries around little pouches full of medicines and medical supplies that she's picked up in along the way in her travels. When she goes out from the safe house she always carries a bag that contains items to make different medicines, bandages, and the like. However, her husband Urlic forces her to carry a small pistol and some throwing knives just to be safe.

Personality​
Claudia is a kind hearted person that just wants to help people. She hates the fact that she has to carry a weapon around because she feels that it goes against what she is about. She's wanted to be a doctor from a young age hoping that she could one day find the key so that she can heal people, and restore the population. She'll often go out to gather medical supplies which she knows angers her husband, but if she is to keep learning about medicine she knows that she needs to due such a thing.

One of her favorite things to do is read the different medical books that she finds while exploring for supplies. She believes that knowledge is the key to finding a cure, and that she must keep learning to obtain this knowledge. While she never received any formal schooling she has learned from others, and from her actions. Her favorite books to read however are ones with many pictures though because the big medical words can be hard for her from time to time, and she always hates ask Urlic for help.

Biography​
Claudia became an orphan at the age of 5, leaving those in the Obsidian Knights to raise her. She watched as those around her, those that helped raise her and were people she called her friends and family, slowly die. When she was 7 she found a medical book that talked about different treatment methods for various things. While reading it she decided she wanted to become a doctor, and to find the key and to cure people. A few months after turning 8 she began exploring on her own for different supplies to the dismay of her care takers. She felt it was necessary to go out on her own from time to time, and look for supplies.

When she was 10 she set out on her own. She knew that she needed to travel in order to find different supplies and books to read. She was told to head West, given a compass, and a few things to sustain her. She traveled for days in the hot sun; picking up different things along the way, and helping those that needed help. Finally, after several months of travel she made it to the Thanatos Instinct location, and upon proving that she was from the Obsidian Knights that gave her a room to stay in.

She wasn't planning on staying for long as she wanted to continue collecting knowledge, but she had met someone special to her. While he was five years older than her, Urlic had caught her attention, which no one else had before. He was rough and rude to many people, and to her when others were around, but when she was alone with him, getting help understanding something, he was kind and gentle. As the years went by her visit turned turn into a permanent residency, and she slowly fell for the rough and tumble boy. She continued her studies of medicine and still ventured on her own from time to time to look for things. When she was 15 she told Urlic of her love for him, and was surprised to hear that he felt the same. A year later they wedded and she moved her things from her room to their room, which use to just be his.

((I have obtained permission, well more like was asked, to have this relationship with Urlic by Mel))

Well Kip, I appreciate being singled out for the fact that I asked you. Nonetheless my original character had a similar setup which I found somewhat crucial in light of his personality. Hopefully this time the whole idea succeeds - feeling that it most definitely can.

Name: Kyle "Sword Saint" Nickel
Age: 19
Gender:Male
Gang: None
Appearance:[Falling a little short of most people. Kyle is a slight man with a twinkle in his eye like he is constantly up to trouble. Though he greets every customer with a charming smile]
Weapons: Katana, forge hammer fists and feet. though his sword is his main. He is also a horrible shot.
Personality: [Kyle is a calm man. And charming in his own way. He is not prone to showing fits of emotion. Unless it comes to his work. He respects very few of the gangs though he will show respect to their power.

He tends to blend in when there is a gathering outside of his shop. And he likes it that way he hates being the center of attention. Kyle will smile and grin but never forgets a slight. ]
Biography: [Growing up in the underground. Kyle had to fight to keep himself alive and became quite good at it despite the fact he hates violence on an intelligent level. He does, however, enjoy the mastery he has with a blade in his hand. A man named Rem took Kyle in and taught him the art of working and making steel. After the sickness took his master. Kyle moved to an unused section of the underground and set up his shop. Willing to sell good steel to anyone who could pay his price. And more than a few times he had to show how he got his moniker Sword Saint.

Kyle's parents died a few years after he was born. Leaving him only a few centuries old sword that he still carries and uses to this day. It was years later when Kyle found out that his parents had descended from a gang called Yakuza and that they had their own ways of doing things.]
Other: As said before Kyle is a horrible shot with a gun. He never had the practice to use one and as result suffers when using one. The close confines of the underground where he learned most of his fighting they were not commonly used. That being said Kyle has plain dumb luck sometimes when he charges into combat. That makes him damn hard to hit with a gun.

Welcome aboard, guys. I will add these profiles to the profile section at the weekend :)
 
Name: Selene Dunham
Age: 16
Gender: cis female
Gang: None
Appearance: Selene is 170 cm tall and her weight is average, a little thin even because of the lack of food. Her skin is a little pale and sunburnt, and she is a redhead, natural of course, with a few freckles on her cheeks and bright green eyes. She wears an oversized jacket with almost all of it's buttons broken and dirty from dust and dirt, but it keeps her warm. She also wears a light sweater and again, oversized jeans with brown boots, which are also old and dirty like the rest of her clothes, but when it comes to walking they are extremelly comfortable.
She ties her hair up in a ponytail or a bu from time to time, whenever it is warm, and she keeps her jacket slightly closed using a belt. Which seems a little out of place but does it's intended job.
More than anything she looks tired, with bags under her eyes.
Weapons: She wields a rather big crowbar which her dad gave her, and has daggers and pocket knives hidden in pockets and a garther belt hidden under her jacket.
Personality: Selene used to be a pretty sweet girl. But since her parents died, luckily after teaching her how to survive on her own, she has changed.

The redhead takes life petty seriously. She is brave but at the same time she isn't stupid, she doesn't risk her life for nothing, and it is already hard enough to survive on her own to have to worry about somebody else, so she tries to avoid people. This has turned her cold and sheI has lost empathy, at least towards humans, since as she says herself, if she cares for somebody else she might stop caring for herself, and she knows it souns selfish, but she is the priority, she has to survive and she does not want to have anything to do with the gangs and their fights, as she think the key just does not exist, therefore it is pointless to worry about it.

Living alone for so long has messed with her personality. From turnin a little cold and less empathetic, to taking to herself, maintaining full conversations, even answering her own questions, for hours straight. If she is her only friend then she better like herself and get along with her own mind, that is what she thinks.
Some have called her crazy, but she just does not care, she has just so much to do... that she really cannot afford to care.

Biography: She was raised by her parents, Ziessel and Gabriel Dunham, who surprisingly enough, were ready for her and had given her birth plenty of thought. They taught her how to survive since she was really young, and they grew too attached to each other. Her father, who was already pretty sick, was an easy prey for depression and killed himself few months after her mother died because of the virus, leaving Selene alone, but not defenseless.

The girl was only six when she started living by herself, and at the time she did accept help from others, as she was little and adults, well, older people took pity on her and gave her the supplies she needed.. but it only worked for so long, and she can't really do that anymore.

Selene has decided, from what happened to her parents, that she doesn't want to have anything to do with children, who sh strongly dislikes, and that she doesn't want to fall in love, because she might end like her poor father... on the end an for now at least, she lives alone and works hard to survive each day. With her own voice for company.

Other: Sometimes when she can't sleep, she sings herself sweet lullabies while pretending to be her mother, who used to do the same thing.

She sleeps with a big teddy bear, dusty and broken, but Sir Button of Blue keeps her safe.

Name: Ishade (shade or Shady) Luseth Terron (has two surnames because he was born in Spain)
Age: 19
Gender: cis male
Gang: West
Appearance: Ishade is a rather tall guy, being around 190 cm tall, and having a rather average weight.

He has some muscle but isn't too strong. However, his speed and resistence make up for that.

Hes got really dark wavy brown hair, which he wears more or less short, and rather strange eyes, purple coloured. (Something very rare but not unnatural). His skin is naturally a little dark and hes got some freckles, besides a blue tick tattooed on his left cheek, and another tattoo of collected barn owl wings that covers most of his back.
Ishade is also missing his right pinky finger, the result of a rather unfortunate accident.

He is usually seen wearing a beanie, he has several of them, some say he collects them. A hoodie or sweater and dark blue skinny jeans, also, runners, or any kind of trainers that allow him to walk and run for wuite some time without hurting his feet.
Several scars adorn his body, but there are a few he wouldn't show off, in suspicious places like wrists and underside of the arms.
One piercing is on his tongue, there are two just under his lower lip.. and thats it.

He also wears gloves and protection on his knees and shins, which allows him to jump from slightly higher places and not have his knees or shins badly damaged.

Weapons: Ishade spends most of his time scouting areas, so he has several daggers and knives, which he is very skillful.

Also, gloves with hard metal knuckles, which form short and hard spikes. Very useful for punching.

The boy also owns an ar-15, but its incredibly old and he doesn't have any ammo for it, so at least for now it is left without any use.
Personality: Ishade is a rather complex person. On the outside he can be quiet, but also nice and very polite. But once you get to know him he becomes way more talkative, likes to make jokes and tease a little, always avoiding to cross the line, though. He can seem a little cold sometimes but he is really empathetic on the inside.

More than anything, ishade believes in the cause and in Ulric, he strongly believes the key will be found and always puts the gang and others before himself, what can make him a little reckless when his own life is what hes risking. His faith is very strong and he would do absolutely anything to help out.

But where Ishade stands as a nice guy and a really kind person, hes also pretty sentitive and even when he seems unaffected by other peoples words, they hurt him.
His self steem is really low and he likes to feel valid and accepted among other people, sometimes he can result a little tiring, seeking validation, attention and affection... which he would give without hesitation. He also tends to think of himself as a bother so while he does seek company, he doesnt let it be know that he feels lonely as often as he should for it to be healthy, and he is one of these people who are always fine, but they are actually never fine, they just dont wish to bother others.
Biography:A while after ishade was born, he was abandoned by hid actual parents and another teen, Lukias, whose surname he has kept. Took care of him and raised him as well as another girl named Olivia. They played a happy family until ishade was five and Olivia was killed by ravenous dogs, who also ripped ishades pinky from him. They were only able to save ishade, lukias and more people scared the dogs away.
By then, Lukias, Ishades older step brother, was 17.

After that, they realised that alone they would be in constant danger, so they decided to join the west gang, which was the one Lukias considered better. Ishade grew up then around these people, whose ideals stuck to him and in which he believes in.

Lukias died whe he was almost 26, and ishade was already fourteen... and he really had ana extremelly bad time. He and Lukias had always been together for as long as he could remember, and without lukias he was nothing, he was alone, he didnt know what to do. It made him fall into a deep well of depression, which he hasn't completely come out of yet, he had some issues with self harm, he has had them since then, but he is good enough at lying that no one has ever realised them. He became a scout because it granted him time alone, and he is pretty good and skilled. Since then hes quieter and colder, slowly drowning in sorrow and guilt, very, very slowly.
Other: He has a collar lukias gave him, with a barn own on it. A tiny and beautiful white barn owl.

Okay so this is my check in point.

I now have basic locations in North, No Man's Land and the Underground. I've left the living quarters up for individual players to decide on those and to talk over with the leader of their gang if necessary to make sure it fits in with the leaders ideals etc etc if that makes sense. Aka, if it's a slum environment a character doesn't suddenly live in a mansion etc etc.

I just have East, West and South left to do. To get this off the ground I'm going to just create HQ and Living Quarters for those areas unless I know that a specific area is to be created.

I have also moved all the characters submitted so far into the Character profiles part. Sorry this has taken so long to set up so far. Last week ended up so busy at work regarding my promotion and interview, and then at home I've been busy with Christmas shopping and preparing to go home. My last day at work is tomorrow and then I am travelling all day Tuesday, flying and driving, so I'll pretty much be out for the count/operating by phone only. But from Wednesday I'll be at home and can focus on getting this going. :)
 
Okay, sorry for the double post. I now have all basic locations set up within each gang. Living Quarters and HQ. I going to put another location in each of the four gang places, just haven't decided what to call it. Streets? There will be outside the living Quarters and HQ so just need to decide on the name of that generalised area and then we'll be good to go. :D
 
And would it be okay for Kyle to set up his shop In the streets or an unused (by the gangs ) part of underground ? And if so who would make it. After all it is also his living quarters in part.
 
Just curious as to how far his mechanical skills can stretch...

~M
 
Think pre-industrial revolution. He can cast a gun, it would be ugly as sin and heavy as a brick. And he can craft black powder (not Gunpowder there is a difference.) Given that he has the necessary materials. And the fact that ammo and guns are scarce and not easy to find in the setting it would be limited. But his edged weapons is where his craftsmanship shines.
 
I talked to Cream and she actually told me something along the lines of that guns and ammo probably aren't a huge issue. Most people probably have ways of creating their own bullets at this point.
