The Unknown Strife [Closed] [OOC]

[Ginger Ale]

OOC thread for a closed RP. Please refrain from posting here unless invited. Info about the RP is in the main post.



Post character biographies, voice issues, etc. here, not in the main thread.
The year is 1663, and the city of Tricerro, Italy has not seen much crime in about a century. However, in recent years an organized street gang, known as the Morticellos, have been terrorizing the civilians of Tricerro. Their motives are unknown, and the authorities have so far been unable to attain any leads on their whereabouts. It was leaked to the public that a few of the Morticellos' members had been captured by the authorities, but they were found dead before they were brought in for questioning. Rumors are now spreading about a rival vigilante gang that is determined to drive out and eliminate the Morticellos without the help of the authorities. (Participants in the RP can choose for their character to be with the Morticellos, Police, or the vigilantes.)

Wow, you really made this OOC topic and the main RP topic look rather professional-looking. I like that a lot!
Going to fill in my character sheet a.s.a.p. and update this post when I do

Update:
-> Btw, it might be a good idea to put the backstory and setting also in the OOC, but that's just my personal preference
-> I'm going to fill out a bit every time of the character sheet, as the character is a WIP, actually xD

----------------

Character form:

Name:  Velcro
Gender (specify pronouns):  Physical female, but dresses up -and prefers to be referred to and seen- as a male. So he/his/him.
Species:  Mythological avian (a mythological avian; a hybrid/mixture of a variety of 'paradise' birds)
Age:  31
Physical Description:  Sleek, slender, thin build. Has two hardened feathers (or horns) on the head pointing backwards, slightly covered by other, softer feathers. Bright coloured eyes which can change colour, most often between yellow/amber, grey, green/turquoise and blue. Usually the eye colour is a combination of all the previously mentioned colours. They have wings, but clip their own wings on a regular basis. Having them grow to their full length, however, the wings are enormous. The feathers are/body is mostly neutral coloured (white, grey, brown, beige), but with paradise colours worked in (bright reds, greens, purples, blues, yellows). Tail feathers form into a makeshift tail and has some longer tail feathers sticking out. Head build has a sharp 'edge' to it: Head anatomy base is similar to that of an Eurasion Griffon Vulture, but with a slightly longer, pointier and sharper beak.
Velcro always wears a ring with the image of a Thunderbird engraved on it (serpents crawling on the sides of the ring), secondary ring they wear (but not always) has a Phoenix carved in it, and/or also wearing a necklace/pendant of an owl (Minerva's Owl).

Clothing:  Dresses up often 'dandy-styled' for the time period. Loves to wear something on their head, like a hat/cap or could use a hoodie of some sorts (like robes with hoods). Wearing one of those 'half' shoulder-capes is also often preferred.
Thus, style of clothing, in general is a mix of:
Example 1 - Example 2 - Example 3 (with a different type of hat than seen in the image) - Example 4 (here you can see the shoulder-cape thing)


Weapon of Choice:  Usually a katana (disguised as a long sword when sheathed), long stick, or shuriken.
Birthplace:  Unsure, because having moved around from house to house since birth.

Knows about the situation with Morticellos: Has a suspicion.
Knows about the rival vigilantes: Yes.

Updated some information, not entirely all done yet though

Also I won't be able to come online at all (or at least there is a high chance I won't be able to) from the 15th onwards for about a week, due to EuroFurence. And, I hope shoon doesn't mind, but they also mentioned they might not be able to start this week yet either.

[Ginger Ale]

That's fine. Have fun at EuroFurence!

[Ventus Fall]

Thanks, Ginger Ale ^^
I've returned, I saw you saw that in the shoutbox
Let's see how I can spice up the character sheet a bit more!

[Ventus Fall]

I just realised my clothing style isn't correct for the time peroid the RP is set, so I'll adjust that o3o

I'll be done with the Character Form today, shall we then get started in the RP? o3o

[Ginger Ale]

Yeah, we can start. I'll write the first post either today or tomorrow.

[Ventus Fall]

I saw the post!
I like your writing, Ginger Ale. I don't know yet how to respond, if I should let my character meet yours or just catching a glimp of yours. I'll think of something though, but what is your idea right now to go with the plot, if I may ask? o3o

[Ginger Ale]

Thanks, Ventus. I don't know about what everyone else wants, but I want to ease into the plot for now, until everyone has had a chance to post.
Also, if anyone's characters decide to go downtown at dusk, there is a good chance Fulvius will be there, doing something.


Shoon, could you please be more precise with your formatting? I don't mean to be rude or anything, but - to me at least - a serious roleplay should not only be serious, but look like it as well. Nonetheless, I like the way your character is mysterious, but not edgy. It's nice.

[Ventus Fall]

You're welcome, Ginger Ale ;D
Alright, I can work with that, thanks! ^-^

[Shoon]

i will try, but i am keeping somethings "off" for now for the story, i will try to edit it later today.

[Ventus Fall]

I believe Ginger Ale meant with formatting the way how things were written (spelled) rather than how things are told. (Though correct me if I'm wrong, Ginger Ale )
E.g. the first letters of a few sentence aren't capitalised, typo's/spelling mistakes, that kind of thing which could make it harder to read for some. I think that is what Ginger Ale meant.

So, in which case, just to give an example:

he sat down at the small round tbale and ate it slowly, thinking about he he mostly just got here and already enjoying it. he finished the food and orginaized aftter himself and went to the large makeshift "training" room to preform daily practice before the day began.

That's just a part from your post, Shoon, where I made the words which could use some fixing to make it easier to read and would make it look nicer as well

"He sat down at the small round table and ate slowly, thinking mostly about how he just got here and was already enjoying it. He finished the food and afterwards organised himself. Then he went to the large makeshift training room to hold his daily practise before the day began."

We're not mad, don't worry, Shoon ^^ I am just helping ;3

EDIT:

Ginger Ale, I noticed the link in the RP thread still doesn't work properly. Could you fix it?
And would you please add the backstory in the OOC thread as well? o3o
