The Badlands - OOC and Signup (WIP?)

[Srgntcuddles]

I left out my reasoning for leaving the Like and Dislike fields as "Unknown". But uh...It's a newer character, haven't built too much on him. Hopefully this will help a bit.

Count us in.  This looks veeeeeeeerrry promising.  I've made some changes to Nero and this is a perfect setting to test them out.

Name: Nero Goltbenz
Gender: Male
Species: Hyena
Age: 25
Height: 5' 3"
Weight/build: 140 lbs, effeminate (femboy)
Fur/markings: Mottled brown with random spots.
Eyes: Right eye is orange, the left is is glazed white (blind in that eye).
Occupation: Butcher
Likes: Meat, money, booze, recieving and inflicting pain, women, and dancing.
Dislikes: Men....especially drunks (self loathing for the win!)

Personality: Normally sarcastic and ill tempered unless around a woman, which causes him to become polite and very chivalarous.  Slightly unstable, Nero has been known for unprovoked fits of rage which often ends in a bloody mess.  Many people have gone missing around his shop but no investigations have been successful in convicting him.  Has severe "Daddy issues" and during more severe fits will undergo gender confusion.

Past: Saying Nero has had a rough childhood would be an understatement.  His drunken father abused him and his mother in more ways than one for as long as he could remember.  With his feminine figure, he was often the object of ridicule by fellow children which escalated during his teen years into similar abuses to the ones he endured at home.  When he was 15, his father accidently broke his mother's neck during one of his drunken rages, sending Nero completely over the edge.  He murdered his father, the whole time screaming "DADDY'S LITTLE GIRL IS A GOOD LITTLE GIRL!!!", skinned him and ate him.  He made the skin into a dress which he wore to school the next day claiming his name was 'Katelyn'.
Needless to say, he was institutionalized.  He was released a few years later when he seemed to get better and has since opened a strangely successful butcher shop.  Many of his customers are women who find him comforting and flirty.  On more than one occasion, these women have become widows after explaining their problems with their husbands to Nero.

A crooked cop that somehow aspires to be like his abusive father, A mafia leader that inherited the buisness through pure coincidence, a german shepard that has issues with all sins except for wrath, a mourge 'worker' whos buisness is almost as shady as his past, a rabbit from Japan out for vengence, and a gender-confused hyena thats half-blind and whom also has 'daddy issues'.

*takes off monocle, then takes a puff of his pipe before tossing it away*

In my summation, I have established that only in America, can these people seem remotely qualified to have the careers they have, and still be treated as remotely sane individuals...

If that was in too bad of taste, I'll delete it... 

[Srgntcuddles]

That sums it up nicely. And yes, only in America. God bless the USA.

I personally am excited about doing this one 8D

LETS DO IT!!!

eehh... -_-

[Goblin Cat 😸]

I thought it was funny. xD

[Entaru]

I entirely agree with you Chrono.  Remember...this is a time when lobotomy was considered to be a good idea for re-education.  Sanity has nothing to do with it.

[Goblin Cat 😸]

That seems like something Romei would be interested in. >>

Well...It's int the 1920's-60's...I'd vote something with the prohibition, but that'd be too small likely... Maybe...Mafia families are beginning to arise and form, taking parts of the city for their own. The police try to nip several of the smaller ones in the bud before they got too serious but there was a few that got too powerful. Many of the police became on their payroll or shot. Though still many of them chose to serve and protect like they were supposed to. The few families that didn't get shut down in the early stages began to get more and more powerful, eventually fighting each for turf and property. They did what they could to get money, lots of it was based on the goods they could get there hands on to sell. Drugs, weapons, alcohol, women, all sorts of things. Though the families tended to specialize in the trade of various goods, some were better at getting guns, or drugs, etc. If one family had the same thing as another, they would kill each other to assure their families would be the best sellers.

Yeah, kinda a typical plot...But it could be fairly loose though. To leave people to stray off and kinda do their own thing, but there is a main focus to it. The families are trying to gain power over the city...Not the greatest...But I just woke up. Maybe someone can add on to it...I just didn't want to go off the deep end and say aliens were invading lol

[Gabag]

Name: 'Nimble'
Gender: Male
Species: Human, Russian
Age: 27
Height: 65'9
Weight/build: 210kg, built to run
Occupation: Informant, Runner, Spy, Target practice (on occasion when the police are trying to kill him or people he's sold out)
Likes: Jokes about Vodka being made of Latvia's tears, Running, money, sarcasm, running (for mayor), Chocolate, American women who get enraptured by his accent and devilish personality, people who can take a joke
Dislikes: Running (for mayor), police, guns, angry people, spicy foods, Italians, American women who don't fall for his charm, super serious people,
Personality: He's a jokester who likes his job, but tends to be serious only when he has to be. He's also kind've cynical
Past: No one knows who 'Nimble' really is. He was your average Russian immigrant who didn't know the language at all and had no friends. The Italians didn't really like him, and liked to try and run protection rackets on him and the other immigrants. Naturally he ran, but he became so good at it he made it a profession. He runs illegal goods for the mob families under the nose of the police, or away from the police. You want something stolen and kept out of police hands, find Nimble. And when mob families don't give into his prices, he gets to inform on them to his rivals and get paid double and help get rid of crime.
