Randomly Generated RP: The Sign Up

[phil_]

Well, I'm happy with that. Got hitting stuff powers for when I'm lazy and potions for when I'm creative. Plus, dapper werewolf, though I suppose we'll all be somewhat dapper.

Speaking of dapper, I doubt anyone's gonna be wearing "jeans and t-shirt style clothing" in Victorian times, what with jeans not even really existing until the last twenty years or so of said period. I think the equivalent style would be something like this dude:



or these kids:



Something to keep in mind. <3 my werewolf rationalist.

[Inbred Chocobo]

Yeah, I should probably read up a bit on Victorian style clothing before I start saying how people are dressed. Now I gotta think up how does a Steam-Punk Victorian Ice-Cream Powered Jedi looks like.

[Overcast]

Probably very foreign and mysterious. I suggest semi mystical ice cream norsemen/aztecs.

And now, Overcast's Character

Player: Overcast

Name: Kathrine Bertram

Race: Cat-Human

Description: Standing a small 5'1', Kathrine is more of a person that is work rather than play. She dresses for efficency, not for looks, keeping to clothing that is loose and comfortable rather than those that show off anything or look good for society. A comfortable pair of boots, a simple cap, and simple work clothing and a jacket over it rather than beautiful dresses that most women wear. Her tomboyish attitude keep getting her in trouble, and people tend to look down on her due to her attitude and disrepect for most people. However she has a big heart, and can't help but want to help those in need. Its just those that don't need that get on her nerves. Her cat-like traits are ears that sit up on her head and a tail, though she tries to stuff the tail in her loose clothing, and wears a cap to hide her ears.

Powers and Abilities:

Vision Seerer: You have lapses in your sleep where dreams reveal the future. You know for a fact that these are real, and time and time again has proved these are true, but you also know they are only true if you do not act, as with any future its simply just one of them.

Jack of all Trades: Whether its piloting a plane or doing some gardening work, you are able to pull off just about anything that you need to do passingly. Though this does make you not the best at doing anything.

Items of Note:

Family Shield: You possess a shield that bears your family crest, however you have never been able to identify anyone else with it. The Shield itself is rather big for you, but that is okay, as the crazy gadgets that sit between the actual shield and your arm seem to take a crazy amount of load off of you when you block, making it relatively easy to use. You are not sure who designed it, however tinkering with it and keeping it working has helped keep you knowledgeable in mechanical work.

This is the shield, some pretty decoration, and the motto written inside the shield.



Background:

Due to an accident, Kathrine grew up an orphan, and was cursed with becoming cat-like. She has no idea why this has happened, and no one actually knows what has happened to her parents either. They just simply disappeared one day, not even bodies. Growing up in an orphanage, Kathrine got picked on a lot because of her cat-ears and tail. When she got a chance to run away, she took it upon herself and bailed, taking the only thing that really mattered to her, her family shield.

Out on her own for once, something strange started happening. Kathrine started having odd dreams of events, and when she investigated them, she found they always came true. It was always obvious when it was a vision rather than a dream, however when one was an event where someone was going to get run over, she tried to intervene, and actually stopped it from coming true. She realized that these visions were those of the future, and that she had a gift. She tried to do something about them when they were bad, and chasing these visions and looking for evidence of her family have given her a wide variety of skills, allowing her to pull out what she needs when she needs it.

To this day she still chases her visions, and evidence of her family, hoping one day to finally learn why she was cursed with being part cat and these visions, and to figure out who her parents were once and for all.

I went here and rolled dice and came up with this:



Maybe you could do that, in the spirit of randomness?

Also, first a dog, now a cat, next is bear? Or will it be the first boring human?

[Inbred Chocobo]

Well since phil gave me a way to randomly generate the family crest here comes one.

[phil_]

"Opulence is Honor?" Yes. Yes, that is a fine thing for a poor do-gooder's shield.

[Overcast]

Hmm need to figure out if I want her to buy a pistol or a massive wind up spring loaded punch to her shield.

[phil_]

Maybe we won't be fighting all the time everyday perhaps? That would be a change of pace.

Although, once all our characters are up, could we maybe post stuff that occurs to us as a necessary part of our character that might have an impact on the game? I don't mean changing stuff or straight-up adding stuff. Like, Mr. Watley obviously has money, and money is a great power as anyone who has read Dracula can attest. That sort of stuff.

Or maybe I'm getting too serious about this, what with my researching Victorian men's fashion and writing up a list of possible traits of lycanthropy to ask you about.

A girl must keep a means of personal safety. Especially at her size in the Victorian era!
