				Welcome.&nbsp; Those of you who already have had characters accepted, go ahead and introduce them here.&nbsp; For purposes of this thread, let's limit the amount of information disclosed about characters to what the others could reasonably be expected to know about each, based on the amount of time you will have spent working together as a group (which is totally up to you guys).&nbsp; As far as player introductions go, I'll assume that most of you know each other around here, but if not, a few words could go a long way in breaking the ice.<br><br>I'll start.&nbsp; Since I will be running EVERYONE but a primary protagonist, I'll limit my introduction to talking about me, your lead author on this merry little trip.&nbsp; Jasmine's me Internet handle, real name classified but rumored to bear somehow on produce.&nbsp; Some know me as "Beatroot," but I much prefer answering to "Goddess," but I'll leave that entirely up to you.&nbsp; I'm a 32* year old office manager from sunny, sunny Florida, divorced, two kids and an overactive imagination and healthy libido that gets its satisfaction these days from a battery operated friend and sites such as Elliquiy, which stimulates the erotic regions of my brain quite deliciously.<br><br>The plot of this story will be lifted from a novel I've written but left unpublished.&nbsp; Basically, it's a Cthulhu story with the serial numbers filed off the Unspeakable Entities<sup>TM</sup>, but I give you my solemn word that I will not try to shoehorn you into the plot as I originally wrote it.&nbsp; I want you to feel involved and active in determining the direction the story goes, even as I'll be trying my very best to cohere the six or seven competing voices into a single narrative.&nbsp; This is your story too, and you'll get out of it what you put into it, so enjoy, have fun, challenge me in new and unique ways, and ignore the man behind the curtain!<br><br>If you have problems, with the pacing of the story, with the believability of the extras, with the plot and direction or anything I decree happens to your characters, I would much, much prefer to speak about it with you, either in an OOC thread or over PMs, than let it go unaddressed and make anyone feel resentment.&nbsp; Since this is freeform, your confidence in me is imperative.&nbsp; You are going to have to give me a vast degree of control over *YOUR* characters to make the story work, and trust me not abuse that control.<br><br>So I'll leave this soap box, and ask who wants to be first to show us what you've come up with for a character.<br><br><br><sup>*32 in this case not representing the integer between 31 and 33, but an imaginary number with a fixed, constant value reflecting a point between halfway between youth and experience.</sup>

				Okay, I'll be the brave one (or maybe the teacher's pet) and go first.&nbsp; &nbsp;:)&nbsp; I'm still not sure how much the rest of the group will know about my character to start off with, since I don't know yet if there's another character who can be a friend/relative/old flame of mine, but I can give you the basics:<br><br>Name: Allison Weaver<br>Age: 25<br>Sex: Female<br>Description: 5'6", 130 lbs., brown curly hair, brown eyes.&nbsp; She usually dresses casually, in jeans and other such comfortable clothing, though she does try to at least wear colors that flatter her, like deep blues and reds.&nbsp; She is pretty in a quiet way, but she's not much good at playing up her looks.<br><br>Aside from those basic statistics, she's a linguist, and has just gotten her doctorate after several workaholic years, so she can help translate all those evil texts bound in human flesh.&nbsp; :o&nbsp; She's a little shy, but friendly in a quiet way, and intelligent and stubborn once she gets really involved in something.&nbsp; (Except she prefers the word 'determined'.)

				<span class="bbc_u"><strong>Taylor Cummings</strong></span><br><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Age:</strong> 19</li><li><strong>Height:</strong> 5’9”</li><li><strong>Weight:</strong> 160lbs</li><li><strong>Build:</strong> Athletic</li><li><strong>Eyes:</strong> Naturally brown (sometimes where’s blue or hazel contacts)</li><li><strong>Hair:</strong> Naturally dark brown, though as of late she’s taken to dirty blonde.</li><li><strong>Teeth: </strong> Pearly white</li><li><strong>Typical Clothing:</strong>&nbsp; She typically wears second-skin tight leather pants with a white tank top and a black leather jacket.&nbsp; In the warmer months the pants remain (possibly replaced with spandex) but she normally switches to either a slinky halter top, or a sports bra.</li><li><strong>Family:</strong> Mother (Jean), Father (Stephen), and older sister (Jo (age 21))</li><li><strong>Friends:</strong> A few from high school that she keeps in touch with via email, and one or two close friends that known her secret in college.&nbsp; The others are friends, but she probably wouldn’t trust them with her life.</li><li><strong>Attitude:</strong> Tough, cocky, though she does tend to know what she’s talking about. She also will come down off her high horse if the situation warrants it, but normally she’ll also try to take up a leadership role with what people should be doing.</li><li><strong>Powers:</strong> Supernatural “Spidey” Sense.&nbsp; Generally if it’s supernatural and dangerous…and near her, she can sense the danger.&nbsp; She can also sense it if it’s not dangerous…but if it’s a mere human or normal sort of danger…then she’s likely to be snuck up on.</li><li><strong>Skills:</strong> She has a black belt Judo and Tai Chi.</li><li><strong>History:</strong> Ever since obtaining the ability to detect the supernatural with any sort of consistency at the age of 14 Taylor has been training in the martial arts to help with her detective skills.&nbsp; Her parents, at that point, had to tell their daughter that she wasn’t like the other kids and that she was from a long line of investigators of the supernatural.<br><br>At first she laughed.&nbsp; Supernatural.&nbsp; Then it set in and she thought it was cool.&nbsp; Mostly this was because her parents wouldn’t allow her to actually investigate much of anything until last year during her senior year of high school.&nbsp; There were a few mysterious deaths that her parents were investigating and asked Taylor to come along so she wouldn’t be a complete novice when she started on her own in college.<br><br>So far she’s worked a grand total of four cases by herself.&nbsp; All of which she solved, two involved tentacles…gross!&nbsp; The other two were as normal as normal can be for a supernatural detective.&nbsp; Though after the first tentacle case she’s taken to wielding a sharpened machete with her whenever she’s able.<br></li></ul><br>Taylor with dark hair:<br><br>(http://home.earthlink.net/~darwishi/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/taylor.jpg)<br><br>Taylor at the beach:<br><br>(http://home.earthlink.net/~darwishi/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/taylor3.jpg)<br><br>Taylor on an investigation (minus the earrings):<br><br>(http://home.earthlink.net/~darwishi/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/taylor2.jpg)<br><br><br><br>So other than the information above, which the history brings us up to when she joins the team since I didn't know who she would know and what the teams accomplishments would be.&nbsp; Taylor can kind of be hard to get along with at times...and impossible if a woman wears a skirt on a mission.&nbsp; The skirt is a pet peeve and the woman will get a serious chewing on for asking for tentacle rape.&nbsp; She'd probably go on that it's not possible to completely prevent it, but "For fuck's sakes woman wear a fucking pair of jeans, or leathers if you've got the money!"&nbsp; <br><br>Other than that, like I said she tries to take up the leader role most times.&nbsp; As for relationship wise with Allison, when not on a mission she can be okay to get along with so they might be friends.&nbsp; And Allison wears jeans, right? So that would earn points right away with Taylor.&nbsp; Also it might fit since Taylor is pretty much the opposite of shy and Allison is shy, so one of them could always be talking. ^^<br><br>That's all, until more people post up their bios.<br><br>

				Heh.&nbsp; Yes, Allison is a jeans kind of girl, who might possibly have a skirt somewhere in the back of her closet, but won't bother looking for it unless forced.&nbsp; My character's a bit older... I suppose they could have met when Taylor started college, though, with Allison as some sort of tutor or student teacher...

				Taylor doesn't like skirts herself, at all, but she can at least tolerate someone wearing one if it's outside of a mission.&nbsp; As for the age gap, Taylor would still be trying to take charge on missions.&nbsp; But it's not all that big of an age gap really so I figure they could have met maybe tutoring and then hang out every now and again outside of the missions?<br><br>Reason I say it's not that big of an age gap is cause I have friends that are old enough to be my dad...technically.&nbsp; They're like seventeen years older than me. ^^&nbsp; Well one guy is, some are a decade or more...anyway you get my drift.&nbsp; Six years for an age between friends isn't that big of a deal. ^^

				Blake<br><br>Age: 30<br>Height: 5’10”<br>Weight: Average<br>Build: Athletic<br>Eyes: Pale blue<br>Hair: Black, collar length, generally cut short and tidy. Close trimmed goatee beard and moustace.<br><br>Typical Clothing: Dark, generally close fitting, and cut for ease of movement. A long dark leather trenchcoat will often be worn also. <br><br>Friends: None known.<br><br>Attitude: The typical ice-man. <br><br>Skills: Wide variety of combat skills; guns, knives, unarmed. &nbsp;Assorted criminal contacts, some larceny skills (picking locks, defeating security systems, creating fake IDs etc)<br><br>History: Unknown to the other players:<br><br>Blake is an assassin, and a good one. He was hired to eliminate an individual and recover certain items from the scene. The individual in question happened to be in the middle of some kind of ritual when Blake stopped by, and he found himself in the middle of all kinds of freaky weirdness. Thankfully, the cultists seemed to react badly to having assorted holes made in them, the ritual was disrupted, and he got out of there.<br><br>When he got back with the items, the remainder of his payment wasn't there, but a hit team was. Unfortunately, they weren't quite as good as they thought they were, and Blake's now in a world he doesn't quite understand, and one that has a fairly steep learning curve. He's thrown himself into occult studies, not so much learning how to do them as learning how to stop them, how to protect himself, and how he can stop/kill whatever gets sent against him.<br><br>The Mr Johnson that hired him is still out there. Blake doesn't like loose ends, and he doesn't like there being things out there that he may not be able to deal with, hence he wants to learn more. If that means hanging around with the others, and keeping them alive long enough to teach him, fair enough.<br><br>Known to the other players:<br>I figure they were investigating something that went pear shaped, and Blake came in, turning the place into a passible John Woo scene. When the bodies stopped twitching, the others got the "Come with me if you want to live" line. Not wanting to annoy the nice man with more firepower than some small African countries, they went, and the rest, as they say, is history &nbsp;:D

				Wow.&nbsp; I am <em>so</em> going to be the most ordinary character in the group... Heh.<br><br>Anyway, yeah, six years isn't so bad an age difference for Taylor and Allison, and it's clear that Blake won't be my connection to the group.&nbsp; So yeah, perhaps a tutor, if Taylor needed any help with English classes or some foreign language or other...

				Heh a Buffy/Spike thing.&nbsp; Or a Cordy/Xander thing in earlier seasons or something.&nbsp; Anyway!&nbsp; That could be interesting down the road if he ever warms up to her more than ice-cold.&nbsp; <br><br>Oh! I just thought of something with the life saving, and it could be bringing them together too... so if you wanna go that route.&nbsp; But anyway, they actually have a score going with one another of how many times one has saved the other.&nbsp; Which means that the spidey sense thing would give them that extra second to react or whatever.<br><br>On cases I think Taylor would be pretty professional, but she'd also take charge sort of thing.&nbsp; Be the one to say "Okay what's the plan? I think we should do this...any other ideas?" Yadda yadda yadda.&nbsp; She knows that she's the youngest, but she also knows that she's probably the most experienced (or second-hand experienced) within the group.&nbsp; Depends on other character bios too on that one.&nbsp; Just so far it seems like Taylor has had the most exposure to supernatural stuff.<br><br>Finally the questions!<br><br>1)I was thinking just the back of a Denny's or some similar restaurant where they meet up once or twice a week and discuss any leads they have.<br><br>2) Taylor, through her parents, has some connections for super natural cases so that could work.&nbsp; Or google.&nbsp; You can find anything with google. =OP<br><br>3) Uh, I really hadn't thought about it.&nbsp; On missions she might grab shotgun in Blake's hummer.&nbsp; Otherwise, I'd say she has some type of off-road vehicle too.&nbsp; Landrover, pathfinder, or...uh other ones.&nbsp; Not sure what a good ATV is that can also be driven on the road...besides a hummer. =OP

				Hm, well, all your Buffy references are lost on me.&nbsp; Heh.&nbsp; I'm good with whatever for the group's resources, of course, since I'll be the new kid, but how exactly is Allison going to get pulled in to things?&nbsp; Will Taylor simply need to recruit her for a particularly rough translation?&nbsp; That would be fine, but I was just wondering if it would be anything more complicated and/or frightening...

				A couple of possibilities .. <br><br>1 - Wrong place at the wrong time. She just passing by when all hell breaks loose.<br><br>2 - Damsel in distress. Shes the main attraction in a demonic summoning ritual, and the others pull her out.<br><br>3 - As you mentioned, brought in for her linguistics, and her curiosity means she wants to know more, either gets told, or follows along despite being told not to, and finds herself down the rabbit hole, good and proper :)

				Yeah, I was hoping to avoid the whole damsel in distress thing to start, since I'm sure she'll need rescuing plenty of times later on.&nbsp; Heh.&nbsp; Either of the other two works, though, so we'll just see what fits in best once we get moving.&nbsp; Now all I need is someone to have some sexual tension with...&nbsp; ;)

				Ok, so here's my character complete with acedemic tie-ins! <br><br>Edwin Goodchilde<br><br>Edwin's a reasonably fit man of 29 years.&nbsp; Tall, with well trimmed prematurely white hair and deep grey eyes, he's a fairly handsome man.&nbsp; He has the high cheekbones and frame of an English blueblood, and while his family line was once exactly that the Goodchilde's have lived in America for several generations now.&nbsp; His choice attire is fashionable suits and a walking stick.<br><br>Nine years ago, Edwin was a normal and happy medical student enrolled at Duke University.&nbsp; During spring break, he and his parents were involved in a terrible accident.&nbsp; Edwin was co-piloting his father's Cesna on what should have been a simple trip.&nbsp; They encountered a freak thunderstorm and the single engine plane went down after being struck by lightning.<br><br>Both of his parents died in the crash, but miraculiously Edwin was not only alive but practically unharmed.&nbsp; The only permanent evidence of the crash being his shock white hair.&nbsp; He inherited the small but comfortable family wealth and returned to continue his studies after burying his parents in the family plot.<br><br>However, the crash had changed him in another less visable way.&nbsp; He found himself subject to odd flashes upon contact with some places and people.&nbsp; At first he feared some undiagnosed mental damage, but as more and more of his flashes proved to be factual insights into the past of the person or object in question and in one instance an actual glimpse of something that happened hours later he found himself unsure.<br><br>In the end, his attempts to discover what was happening to him brought him to the parapsychology department.&nbsp; At first as an interested party, then as a volunteer in experiments, and finally as a student.&nbsp; Two years ago he finished his doctoral thesis on psychometry and gained his PhD.&nbsp; However, he has no interest in teaching.&nbsp; He's learned all he feels he can about his odd 'talent' in academia and has set out to try and discover more actual paranormal phenomina.<br><br>His search has led him to nothing but cons and hoaxes so far.&nbsp; And while his ability is erratic and unpredictable it has so far given him the clues to debuke them.&nbsp; <br>

				Hmm... So, I'm not sure how many of others would know of of his psychometric talents.&nbsp; He wouldn't hide them while working, so most might know.&nbsp; And he did write a book about the topic.&nbsp; ;)<br><br>He's got money, and would have his own vehicle (some sort of luxury sedan most likely) and does own a small plane that he knows how to fly if we need to travel by air somewhere.

				At last!&nbsp; A man with brains!&nbsp; *swoons*&nbsp; Heh.<br><br>Allison's a bit younger, but they could still have crossed paths pretty easily during their higher education years.&nbsp; I never did establish which universities Allison studied at, so she could have been at Duke, or somewhere nearby.&nbsp; And if Taylor ever dropped any references to the paranormal, she might have gotten interested enough to visit that department...

				Involving Allison would actually be pretty easy.&nbsp; I don't see Taylor actively involving a citizen in an investigation (she'd first go to her parents that would hook her up to someone already in the know) but if the supernatural were happening around or to Allison (in a non-Damsel in distress way) then Taylor might have no choice. So either something happening to her or around her would work.<br><br>Mostly I was thinking that maybe Taylor got a mission that directly involved Allison and had no choice but to tell her about what she does.&nbsp; I kinda see her getting laughed at until something (tentacle monster, ghost, some mixture of the two...or something else) shows up and Taylor has to fend it off.<br><br>Also, Edwin would find some interesting things out by shaking Taylor's hand.&nbsp; Or maybe nothing at all.&nbsp; It's kinda hard to say but depends largely on what you want to happen.&nbsp; Since they both have a sort of "flash" type ability with the paranormal it might just cancel out when they're touching.&nbsp; Or it could amplify...or maybe the abilities just work along side one another and nothing happens.&nbsp; <br><br>Actually, for the most part Taylor's life is pretty boring up until she found out she had powers.&nbsp; Then it takes a studious turn and only recently has she got out in the field to actually solve cases and such.&nbsp; The two tentacle cases she wasn't raped, but that means the tentacles didn't try.&nbsp; <br><br>Somewhere along the line I imagine the line "You don't need to reload a machete" has come up in conversation with Blake. ^^

				Here's a suggestion for getting us up in the mountains. We're coming back from an investigation that turned out to be nothing. Either the GPS is on the fritz, or someone read the map wrong, cos we sure ain't where we're supposed to be. Now night is begining to fall, and that snowfall that's been threatening is starting to come down.<br><br>But look .. what light through yonder fogbank breaks?

				I've figured out how I'm going to handle updating the plot to keep things moving.&nbsp; I will wait until at least 75% of the players have responded to my last post (unless a single post makes specific a request for further information or undertakes a "key event" that will immediately affect the situation) before updating.&nbsp; That means, with five of you at the moment, four of you will have to contribute to the situation before I advance.&nbsp; When Elandra joins in, that will increase to five out of six needing to contribute.&nbsp; This may have the effect of making the story advance slowly, but I hope it will keep you all active and involved.&nbsp; Does anyone have any objections or suggestions on this point?

				Well, it never was my intention to come down on vegetarianism. (I, myself, am an omnivore, with carnivorous leanings.) But still, since our resident G.O.D.D.E.S.S (Games Operations Director of Devious Enterprises and Spontaneous Slaying) is a vegetarian, I'll fall in line.

				My basic philosophy is you can do whatever you want, as long as you're not hurting yourself or anyone else, or trying to force your preferences on anyone else either. I know one or two vegetarians, but its not a way I could live ... I'm just too fond of my steak. I will play the dedicated carnivore angle up for amusement value mind you.
