Brasil Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 [Goofy British Accent]Theodore Longfellow is an aging rock ?n? roller. His musical career has dwindled greatly since his band parted in the late 90s, but Theodore was fortunate enough to fall into professional killing. One would not imagine a 40 year old rocker to have any combat skills nor to have any abilities to maim or slay, apart from destroying good housewives? ears. But, Theodore Longfellow possessed something that no other bounty hunter had ever possessed. Theodore has a silver tallywhacker, a detachable one, at that. His detachable silver tallywhacker makes for a spectacular blunt weapon and beating a bounty down is no problem at all. The detachable silver tallywhacker is easily concealed down below in Theodore?s trousers, making for a very appealing bulge that the young women go bonkers for. Theodore has an armadillo in his trousers. Oh, not literally, of course. I mean, that would just be ridiculous to think that one such as Theodore would stick an armadillo down his trousers, into areas that would feel pain of a scurrying and clawing armadillo. Simply ludicrous. Pish posh. Flabbergasted. Would never do. Simply never do. But why is Theodore a bounty hunter, you ask? He?s good at it. Simply that. He?s good at killing because his detachable silver tallywhacker allows him to be. At first, he was just a freelance assassin, working for the highest bidder. This found him immense commercial success, as his services were often very high in demand, very high in demand indeed. Theodore Longfellow was the most prestigious bounty hunter in both Britain and America. His name was widely known and recognized by many as the greatest bounty hunter to ever live. Princess Diana called upon him regularly, wishing that he dispose of corrupted aunties in a manner that would not disgrace the Princess. The Princess became infatuated with Theodore, often gazing into his deep, dark eyes and playing with his copious amounts of facial hair. Diana loved him dearly, but it was not an affair-ish love, not at all. It was a deep emotional supportive bond, the kind that forms between best friends. Theodore and the Princess were rarely seen apart, often playing merry games in the yard and never once, did the subject of sexual activity come about. But, as we surely know from When Harry Met Sally, no man and woman can be friends without possessing sexual desires. I shan?t not go into gory detail, but I say this. Diana enjoyed Theodore?s company many times, and that detachable silver tallywhacker found its fair share of activity. Wink, wink, eh gov?nah. But Diana?s time was to be cut short and her death was a tragic one. Theodore felt it most, as his long-time friend, companion, confidante, and employer was now deceased. He suspected foul play but the estate forbade him from taking any family-approved investigation. He thus took the law into his own hands and worked deeper, longer, harder and even more deeply into this matter. What he uncovered shocked him. Before her death, and before her marriage, Princess Diana had been one of an elite assassin team known as Adam?s Angels. There were no paparazzi that caused her death. The paparazzi were not to blame. Adam had ordered the hit. Theodore knew what he had to do: KILL ADAM. Such begins his tale as he joins The Southern Vipers under the guise, TrouserSnake.[/Goofy British Accent] [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=517103[/img] I figured I'd just reply with a totally new character bio.

Wondershot Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 Edited again, tried to make everything a little more violent... I did what I could, if that's not good enough then I don't know what else to put (except maybe a weapon pic if I can). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted November 16, 2003 Author Share Posted November 16, 2003 [color=#707875]Holy mother of god, PT. What have you done to your character?! lol. Geeze. Everything was great before...all I needed you to do was get rid of the gun and replace it with a melee weapon. *eyelid twitches* Anyway. Again, sorry for the delays; the final cast will go up tonight. [b]EDIT:[/b] Okay. It's all done. The final cast has been chosen. At this point, it's important for me to mention a few things. Firstly, if you didn't make it in, please do not be too discouraged. It wasn't necessarily because your sign up was good or bad -- it relates more to what kind of characters I want in the story. I have a relatively strong idea of how many I want on each side and who they should be. So, this was mostly a question of your character showing me something that I really wanted to include. Also, I wanted many more Adam's Angels than Southern Vipers. Bear in mind that the SV are a pretty small group of individuals who are trying to get back at Adam for personal reasons -- they aren't necessarily "guns for hire" and so on. The SV obviously don't go around recruiting people and whatnot. It just doesn't work that way. It's the same in Kill Bill; The Bride wasn't going around recruiting random people to join her cause -- anyone who helped her did so because there were personal reasons involved. Adam's Angels is a bit different. It's more of an organization than anything else. Yes, each member has personal reasons for being involved with Adam, but money and other things play a role there. With some of you, (many of you actually) I came very close to adding you to the cast. But I didn't for a variety of reasons -- either your character's profile and their reasons for being in the story didn't seem valid or logical to me, or there were minor issues elsewhere, or I didn't feel that you really grasped the style of what I'm trying to do. Again, that's not really a criticism of you guys so much -- I had to edit things because I wasn't too clear in the first place. But by the same token, I did not expect many people to get in who hadn't seen Kill Bill. You really just have to see it to understand what's going on here -- it's not so much a plot issue, it's more a question of the style and how everything fits together. But enough of that. It's time for me to briefly discuss how this movie will play out. Unlike most RPGs, Kill Adam will not be a case of one person simply posting after another. Nope. Instead, Kill Adam will play out much more like an event -- it will have a specific structure. Let me see if I can explain. Let's say that the movie is divided into a dozen "chapters", like a DVD or something. And those chapters have a particular chronological order, from 1 to 12. In a movie, every single character isn't involved in every single chapter. Sometimes, certain characters only show up for one or two chapters in the whole movie -- or they only show up for half the chapters, etc. And sometimes, an entire chapter will only talk about one particular character or one aspect of their lives. As the "director" of this movie, I am going to decide when certain chapters appear and in what order. Therefore, I will introduce new chapters to the story at certain intervals (ie: when the previous chapter has been completed). So, again, each chapter will have a special introduction. The chapter introduction will provide certain details. For example, it will tell you the name of the chapter, a summary of what the chapter is about (or what the "end goal" of the chapter is) and [b]which characters[/b] are in the chapter. Let me see if I can give you a very quick example. [b]Chapter 1: Two Characters Meet[/b] [b]Summary:[/b] Character A and Character B meet at Place X for a fight to the death, where Character A murders Character B. [b]Characters Involved:[/b] Character A, Character B. Now, that's an incredibly rough idea. But as you can see, in that chapter, only two characters are involved. And in that chapter, they have a fight -- where we essentially know the ending. Bear in mind that with Kill Adam, we knew that The Bride was going to kill Oren Ishii. The question is, [i]how[/i] does it happen? What does it look like? What leads up to it? Where one person might write about this encounter in a very direct way (they might simply write that the two characters meet in an abandoned carpark and fight), another person might be more elaborate and write about all the minions that The Bride has to kill first -- and how she ends up fighting in the Winter Garden. See what I mean? The chapter introduction will provide you with a basic "skeleton" or "overview" of what happens in the chapter. In other words, it will present those involved with some sort of end goal or basic scenario. It is up to the individuals involved to flesh that out -- to bring it alive. As long as they meet the end target and as long as they conclude the chapter based on the summary and introduction, they can be as creative as they like. They can include their own dialogue, their own specific scenarios, etc etc. They can write in first person or third person. They can include midi music files for background ambience, they can use imagery and unique background colours to achieve greater effects...and so on. The sky is the limit -- [b]as long as the basic summary/introduction is followed[/b]. When the chapter concludes (by having the conditions met), I will step in and introduce a new chapter. The new chapter might jump right to Chapter 10...or it might be Chapter 3...and so on. The idea is that by the very end, we will have built an entire "movie" full of chapters. I've chosen this system for a few reasons. One, it follows the whole Kill Bill theme. Two, it relieves some of the traditional pressures of RPGs; you don't have to post all the time -- only when your character is needed. And three, it ensures that the RPG doesn't go on forever -- that it [i]does[/i] have a definable ending and that it will be completed. In this way, we will have created a story with a beginning and an end...and we'll have truly finished it. If this concept works out, then you can be sure that I'll develop a new "movie" in the future, with a similar structure. If there are any questions, please use this thread. I will be posting the first chapter very soon, so watch out for it.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 Good luck on the RPG James. I'll be keeping up with it, hopefully. And I truely hope it doesn't die like many of your other ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted November 18, 2003 Author Share Posted November 18, 2003 [color=#707875]Okay, the first Chapter Introduction has been posted. This chapter includes myself and BabyGirl. I will post first, to introduce things (as per the summary). Then BabyGirl posts a follow-on to me and so on, until the Chapter concludes. Hopefully we'll get the hang of this style. Remember guys; no other participant may post in this Chapter. You must wait until a Chapter comes along with your own character. I expect anywhere from three to five posts per Chapter, depending on how many characters are involved. For this first Chapter, maybe four to five posts at the very highest -- therefore, posts should probably be an appropriate length. So, anyway. Here we go. Also: Double posting will sometimes be necessary in this RPG, because of its structure. I apologize if that makes things confusing, but it might be unavoidable, because someone has to introduce new chapters (me) and sometimes I'll also be the first character to post. I might edit the original post, but we'll see how it goes.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conpiracymonki Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 [size=1]Here's to hoping people can still sign-in o.- ---------- [b]Real Name:[/b] Blue Salina, although the Vipers (and the Angels) generally call her by her surname, [i]Salina[/i] [b]Callsign:[/b] The Vipe Renegade [b]Age:[/b] 24 [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Alliance:[/b] Southern Vipers (they're sorta lacking at the moment, lol) [b]Biography: [/b] Young, innocent and vulnerable, a seven year old Salina was abused by her father and his drunk friends one night. Sexually. How hard she screamed, how long she cried, or how much she bled that night didn't affect the three meatheaded men. Naughty naughty. And she knew right away through her gushing tears and streaming blood that her dad had to go. The fucker. Heh, he never did manage to quite wake up from the twisted chain she had wrapped around his throat. Bruised and still slightly bloody, Salina ran out her dad's apartment into the early morning city. Salina's mother was raised in India and grew up in America. And there, in New York, she met an American man who stole her heart. And after their baby girl was born, her life too. Salina grew up a lone child in the so called 'care' of her drunk father. Who would often beat her black and blue, no pun intended, with bruises and slew her with insults. Salina could still remember one time she had been tossed into the corner of the study-room and had arrangements from the desk-top thrown at her as she sat crouched in a ball shivering. Salina dragged herself across the two blocks between her father's fresh corpse and her next two bodies and killed them, too, where they slept. And then she dropped from exhaustion. Salina woke up in a hospital bed, feeling a world better. At 23, Salina managed to finally get herself into the highly secretive ring of assassins in Japan known as '[i]Adam's Angels[/i]', where she was given the callsign '[i]The Viper[/i]'. However, she didn't stay very long. It took a demanding Adam and her strangulation attempt upon him to make sure of that. She barely escaped the feared gaijin with her life, and was accepted into the '[i]Southern Vipers[/i]' soon afterwards. [b]Personality:[/b] Useless at everything else, Salina is only in any of this for the pay. She doesn't love the bloodbaths that come with the job, but she won't ever dare allow herself to question any of it. Her lack of self-esteem makes sure of it. Salina is a very quiet and thoughtful woman, who often hesitates to speak her mind. As long as she isn't forced to do something against her will and isn't harassed, she is quite the harmless critter. She distances herself from all men, and so, isn't very comfortable with the other Vipers. During her time as an Angel, Salina was on friendly terms with all the girls. Kind of sad she has to be pitted against her only friends in the world.. Salina does like to treat herself very often and enjoys dressing up. Shopping centres are places where she can be found very often. [b]Weapon:[/b] She specialises in chains. She gets them where she finds them and uses whatever size and strength she needs for the job.

Shinmaru Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 I made a couple additions to Shin's weapon to make it a tad more potent and to give him a more realistic chance of keeping up in a battle (I thought the penny was good as it is but there are some situations that arose in my head, which gave me enough reason to make some weaponry changes, heh).
