The thread will be a MT RP but the story is up for discussion.
I'm thinking the people will meet in a hotel/casino in Altairan when after a while strange stuff(as dictated by me) begins to happen. We will rp in first person.

Male/Female:

Occupation:
Reason for being in hotel(if we go with the above):
Short Bio:


Name:Jackson Carnby
Age:26
Male/Female:Male
Physical description:5'1" brown hair blue eyes gaunt face
Nationality:Altairan
Occupation:Currently Unemployed
Reason for being in hotel(if we go with the above):Vacation
Short Bio:Jackson has recently been discharged from the military for what was described as mental instability after one of his squad mates disappeared and Jackson said they were killed by monsters while they were on recon. When he got home he decided to go on a vacation to Laracinda (Altairan's Las Vegas)

This story will be persistent and become a sort of canon.

Karl Johnson Accepted.

wOOt!!!!!! YES FIrst one baby!!! Whats the story about???

OOC: I've recently been wondering about buying Alone in the Dark. Not very many good reviews for it though. Either way, this RP looks like it has some potential.

Name: Gregory Salinov
Age: 37
Male/Female: Male
Physical description: 5'11" Dark brown but graying hair, Caucasian, square jaw, light blue eyes, perpetual stubble.
Nationality: Stavinvast (most southern republic of Volzgrad)
Occupation: Former Commissar in the Border Guards, recently retired
Reason for being in hotel(if we go with the above): Relaxation, a sort of congratulations for excellent service in the Border Guards.
Short Bio: Unlike most high ranking Commissars in the Volzgradien Military, Gregory Salinov had decided to retire early. A self-described patriot, he is always ready to side with the ideals of the government. Gregory had participated in three wars during his military career which is why he has severe scarring on his left leg and a fairly large scar on his face. He decided to go to Laracinda for some a half vacation half retirement party. Despite his fairly laid back nature, Gregory always dresses to impress with some of the highest quality suits available.

What will it be about???
Alone in the dark looks like an awesome game! Is this RP related to it in any way?

Gregory Salinov accepted.
Easter Laos to answer your query, Unless someone has another suggestion the characters are going to be at a Las Vegas type town starting in a hotel when evil stuff starts to happen. And i might draw a little from the games.

That sounds cool...Like what kinda evil stuff? There should be a military invasion like what happened to Iraq when they went into Kuwait. The Iraqis went into everysingle hotel and building and would steal women and kill men and stuff like that. That would be cool or like a virus breaks out and our characters are immune to it and evryone whos not immune bands together to fight zombies...idk sumthin like that would be a kool RP.

i might be gone awhile so i will have to sort through the profiles.

Wwhere u gonna be?
Wat did u meen by evil stuff?

I'm thinking after an exposition where the characters meet the power goes out and these evil fissures open in the ground about half a foot wide and monsters start coming out. To answer the first query i am going to see some family and i probably won't have internet access.

After the first thread ends i will record it if it becomes canon in the NS Alone in the Dark series and after awhile i will contact the players in the first thread and start a new sign up for Alone in the Dark 2.

Name: Firius Caesar
Age: 54
Male/Female: Male
Physical description: Tall, thin, looks like he's still forty, raven-black hair with a few gray hairs here and there, blue-gray eyes.
Nationality: Moralite (CM)
Occupation: Early Retiree, ex-CEO of Moralite Industries.
Reason for being in hotel(if we go with the above): Vacation.
Short Bio: Born into a rich family with a long military history, Firius went to only the finest schools in the entire country, being separated from his (Often on missions) father, who was in the first battalion, and his engineer mother, who was widely renowned as the finest Zeppelin mechanic in all of CM. Going to a military University, Firius studied Post-war economics and the War economy, but refused the boot camp for the first battalion. The day before Firius graduated, his father died on a training mission. Firius didn't learn of this until after the ceremony. Firius quickly turned to Marijuana, and other drugs, for a short period of time. However, he quickly straightened everything in his life out, with some help from his grandfather. At the age of twenty-three, Firius became an advisor of a VP of Moralite industries. In just eight years, he ascended to CEO of Moralite Industries. He doubled the companies profits, and bought out the CM governments weaponry line. At the age of Fifty-three he retired, still single. He still smokes Marijuana from time to time, and refers to it as his little hobby.

O ok that sounds like a good story. When wil we start the RP? BTW Karl Johnson's main weekness type thing is he is an alcaholic. He drinks alot and so he is drunk alot of the time. Also he smokes cigars alot and he has a remmington 12 gauge pump action shotgun in his possesion.

Firius Caesar Accepted.

Easter Laos, I will TG when i start the thread, it may be a couple days.

Ok that sounds good...Is your charactor white or black?

On a side note, Gregory almost always carries a concealed TT-77 handgun. Thanks to his scars, he often has a limp in his left leg.

OOC: I find it kinda funny that I'm the first to suggest a character without a firearm in his pants.**

Besides, if this is going to be a horror RP, guns'll be useless anyways. Unless you happen to be carrying a loaded BFG, which'll only be marginally useful until the gun runs dry or get ambushed from behind.

Name: Krystan Leszeck
Age: 25
Male/Female: Male
Physical description: I'll figure that out as I go, but I'll be sure to include a red necktie. Otherwise, fairly low-built, kinda geeky actually.
Nationality: Hurtian
Occupation: Banker
Reason for being in hotel: Vacation, as for why he's not at a 5-star hotel, he's scrimping on sleeping accomodations in order to afford the other perks.
Short Bio: Single, hasn't driven a car/truck, ever.*
Managed to save-up enough money for this trip, touring every red-light district in the world.
More likely than not, if there's a girl in his LOS, he'll be fantasizing (for comic effect only)
*Because I banned them, plus it's kinda funny to subvert the Universal-Driver's License (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/UniversalDriversLicense) found on most protagonists.

He did cover some very basic self-defense training though.
-Enough to know that fisting your way through a horde = fail

Luggage:
3 changes of "casual" clothes, 2 sets of clothes for "clubbing", and one formalwear, riding-clothes (coat, mud-gaiters, helmet, gauntlets), Wallet, motorcycle /w/ sidecar (rental, the sidecar is because unconcious women tend to fall off), Small pocketknife (mostly for hygenic purposes, pretty useless in a fight), large knife (folding pigsticker), lighter, some cigarettes, chloroform, rag, and local alchohol.

A down and out soldier on the road to destitution unless he can find a job real soon. Thankfully, the motel seems to have an opening and a ton of vacancies...

CEO that went through military in past life, took a social nosedive and climbed out of his own grave of self-pity and pole vaulted his way into the corprate elite, sweet...

He can't drive, and is a perv. At least he's good with numbers, right?


Needs moar women... A Suspense-horror story without a screamer = phail

Name: Adelaide Shelley
Age: 30
Male/Female: Female
Physical description: Multiracial, 1.50 meters (4'11'') tall, 70 kg (154 lb) because of compulsive eating behavior, large belly, but otherwise average nerdy girl next door type. Hair is brown, short and unkempt, her eyes are amber, she has large lips and a slightly black skin. Carries a quantum physics and scientific calculator with her, wears glasses, but they are actually elegant rather than nerdy. Wears full-body covering "conservative" clothes with a formal and executive vibe.
Nationality: Third Spanish States, Enclave City-State
Occupation: Cryptologist
Reason for being in hotel: Someone convinced her to use her probabilistic skills in a more socially-intensive activity.
Short Bio: Born with autism, Adelaide was favored by the neurodiversity lobby, and after being fully home-schooled, took a career as a cryptologist in -CLASSIFIED- due to her impressive logical reasoning skills. As time passed and adulthood came, many of the earlier symptoms of her different mindset began to vanish, and even though she still is by and far somewhat introverted and isolated from reality, now it is simply the equivalent of Asperger's Syndrome. BLACK NERDS GO GO GO.

Yay! Women! Oh, wait...

Name: Mikilah Vashnakov, known only as Fox
Age: 23
Male/Female: Male
Physical description: About 6'1'', well built, short, cropped black hair.
Nationality: Unknown, Russian name, but all else seems to be Western influenced(voice,etc; )
Occupation: Black Op's Team Commander
Reason for being in hotel: Vacation (Mandatory R&R)
Short Bio: Fox had recently had the "suggestion" of taking a small vacation from his job by his commanding officer. Something about..."excessive brutality due to lack of relaxation" on his last mission. He has various skills, seeing as he is a black operations commando.
A "Russian ninja"... With mental issues, yay...

*Notes that sexual orientation isn't noted in any of the chars, and most of them have "military training"...
Oh shi-:eek: (I already used teh (http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=63) :fluffle: (http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=129))

K, that does it, I'm just going to chloroform some working-girl from the street and add her to the RP...

I'll try and avoid getting into the sex bit, as that tends to get rather messy, and that's not my style anyways.

Besides, I don't think a kidnapping victim would consent to sex, and whatever the plot revolves around would hopefully intervene before it came close to that.

Besides, the banker isn't exactly the most proefficient user of chloroform...
Anybody else seen "identity"? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGQQa8mgN-Y)

Needs moar women... A Suspense-horror story without a screamer = phail

I'm here to save the day because 99.99% of female characters (http://www.feartheboot.com/comic/default.aspx?c=19)... do I need to say the rest of the sentence?

Unfortunately she's not going to be a screamer because I hate clichés. Instead you can have your red-tie HT.

And this one is going to be very hot, behave like a slut and get laid with everyone just like the generic fanservice seen around, am I rite Prince Arturo? (http://forums3.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=548276)

*I smite thee with a bottle of chloroform and drag her off to my lair*

Krystan then sees his error, and vows never again to pick who to abduct randomly in the dark while drunk.

*Releases Confederacy back in to the wild*

And no jumping into the snakedog's mouth...

Is there anything else I could add to satirize the stereotypes?

Added peeps to the "quote and roast" (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13825983&postcount=19), replaced EL's char's with his "gansta".

I can already picture this getting to be a lil crowded, fast paced, and a lot of moral preaching to the chior.
(We hit the "lucky number" -seven- and the bios look pretty, interesting, when locked in a room together.)

I think a few of our characters will become mentally scarred...

Did this thread die just like your other two?
