Sign Up Rollerball *signups*

[Eclectic]

My second attempt at an RPG. Hopefully, this one will work out better than the first. It's based on the movie Rollerball (the remake, I haven't seen the original).

The CEO's of the world's leading companies plan to use Rollerball to make an entertainment monopoly. They have almost every team working for them. If they succeed they will move on and may one day control the world (in a sense). A few rules before you even attempt to sign up:
1. Spelling and grammar count quite a bit. If you are a newbie, you will have to send me a one paragraph long (at least 10 lines, at the most 30) writing sample. Prose only.
2. Roleplaying experience and/or a knowledge of extreme sports can get you far. So will the fact that I know you and think you're a decent writer with a pretty good imagination.
3. If you are one of the company CEO's, you can use a company already in existance (ie: Crest, WWE, Kawasaki, etc.) or you can make up your own company. If you opt for the latter, tell what your company does.
4. Even if you haven't seen the movie, you can still participate.
5. If everyone is American, I'm gonna to scream. Then I'll get this closed.
6. You can be traded to another team before and after this RPG starts.
7. The CEO's are the token 'bad guys' of this RPG, though one or possibly two can work on the players' behalf. For the most part, though, they are all money hungry and 'evil' people who do anything to improve the sport's global rating.
8. You can only have one player and one CEO. That is absolutely it, unless I feel you can handle the responsibility.
9. If you make a new team, you also play the coach of said team. Use the Coaches Signup for this, but you [b]MUST[/b] have a player to do this.

Anyone that's taken the time to signup yet. Good luck! ~_^

I'm in need of an announcer, if anyone wants the job. PM me for details and possible acceptance. Your spelling and grammar have to be impeccable and you'll be making a majority of the game posts. Be sure you pretty much live on OB if you want this job.

Name: Svava Freya Vanir

Age: 23

Country: Stockholm, Sweden

Language: Swedish(not used unless it's through a trnaslator), Finnish (I'll almost never use this), and English

Number: 00

Team: Free Agent

Position: Free Agent

Nickname: Valkyrie

Description: see attachment. Svava is 5'7 and a little over average wieght. She has a tattoo of an angel with devil's horns and a tail on her lower back, as well has several visible only piercings. The uniform is a work in progress. I need a team first.

Real Biography: Svava's father was also into extreme sports and has provided his family with plenty of money. Her parents were disappointed when she decided to follow in his footsteps. When she told them she would be playing Rollerball, they became even more concerned, fearing for her life. They phone her everyday.
A few months after playing, she met and began dating Ruben Guarini, basically a Finnish Average Joe. Their relationship eventually became strained and they stopped talking on a dialy basis. He phones her every once in a while to make sure she's okay. She sometimes takes long vacations to visit her family and friends and recover from serious injuries.
Svava has played for several different teams, including the Horde, and this season is a free agent. She is well aware of the conspiracy, but tries to ignore it and keep herself and her team-mates as safe as possible. She's a generally kind and compassionate person who rarely loses her temper.

Public Biography: Svava's mother was a prostitute, who, after a night with her father, who is an American stuntman, decided to marry him and leave the streets. They eventually did marry and have Svava, along with several other children, most who were given up for adoption. Svava lived her youth in the streets, usually running from the police for theft and vandalism. She plays extreme sports in hopes of finding her siblings. She has a fiery temper that can barely be controlled and is known for causing bodily harm to anyone on the track, even her own team-mates. Her long absences are often attributed to incarcerations for various warrants she has all around the world.
NOTE-Svava is an only-child, both of her parents are Swedish and have lived boring, legitimate lives. I told you this was supposed to be fantastic.

Car: black hard top BMW convertible with black tinted windows and blue flames along the side. More details later.

Other: Svava is aethist, unlike the majority of Sweden. She enjoys the company of rich American men more than anything else, except, possibly, fast cars.

Biography: Geri created Dreamscapes Productions from the ground up. She started it when she was 18, making movies of her friends to show off their skills in skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing, ski diving, and the like. She worked for other companies, but Dreamscapes always had a special place in her heart. When she turned 24, she inherited a large sum of money and quit her current job. She began building her empire and is working with the heads of Rollerball to push her company into the limelight. She'll do anything to promote her company at any cost.

Thanks for signing up Dmitri. I was about to give up on this. I'll wait until the end of the week. If no one else signs up, consider this ended.

[Guest dayday]

Ok, I want to sign up for a player but I don't really understand the bios. Can you explain them to me please?

[Eclectic]

The Real Bio is how your life really is, what kind of person you really are, the normal thing. The Public Bio is what most people know about you. It's meant to provoke contreversy and fights, that kind of thing. It's basically your public image as a player, not as a real person.
