Well, after watching Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, I had an idea.

A 1930s tech, action charecter RP! It would be set in icy northern Siloin, where a mysterious jewel is said to be found. But, to oppose the archeological team are some villains I will need.

Needed:

1 hero (M or F)
1 Proffesor (M)
1 Feminine Assisstant to Prof (F)
1 Guide (M)- Siloin
1 Mercenary (M or F)

Villains

1 Evil Guy (M or F)
1 Right Hand Man (M or F)
Skilled Henchmen (M or F)
Skilled Henchmen (M or F)

You know the drill for sign up sheets.

Bad Guy Leader

I'm interested in being the bad guy's right hand man

Alright, flesh them out with a form and your accepted.

I'll act as the mercenary. I won't be able to write out a bio until I get back home later today. Is it possible you can reserve it for me?

Hercule Endilou (AKA "Blue-Eyed Jack")
Physical Description: 5'8" tall, approx. 52 lbs weight. As a young circus performer, Endilou appeared as a stylish young Frenchman with a goatee and the tattoo of a blue star around his left eye. In modern times, he appears as a human skeleton of pearly white bone, still displaying that large, star-shaped tattoo.

History: Hercule Endilou was born in Rouen, France in 1860, son of a pair of circus performers, an escape artist and his assistant. He learned the skills of escape, theatrical disguise, and grand illusion from his parents. The other performers taught him skills, also, most important of which was the hypnotism that was the specialty of the grim and gloomy ringmaster of the circus.

As part of his circus training, he also learned to steal, which was how the circus made ends meet when bookings were scarce or the box office lean. He proved a quick study at picking pockets and locks, and soon combined his talents at thievery and hypnotism, lulling victims into a pliable state and implanting false memories to be triggered by such questions as "Could you describe the theif?" From one unlucky mark, he got his first book on alchemy, a slim volume whose pages appeared to be hammered gold. Though the pages were of a baser metal, the lore they held and it's promise of power held much, much more value to the young man.

With his newfound interest in alchemy, Endilou left the circus and made way to London, where he set up a workshop for his experiments with funding from hypnotized "investors" and second-story work.

It was not long until "Blue-Eyed Jack"-a name gained because of his facial tattoo-was embroiled in a mastermind's plot to frame a hated rival for murder. The rival's will and intelligence proved too much, and Endilou found himself trapped in his workshop, the police beating down his door. Cornered, he hastily concocted and drank an alchemical formula that would simulate death.

It did it's job far too well-Endilou awoke decades later in a white room, surrounded by the Thule Gesellschaft. When he tried to sit up, he saw with horror his flesh was gone, and he was a living skeleton.

Motivation: In life, Endilou was motivated by jealousy, greed, and lust. Though his body has been radically altered so he may not act on these dark impulses, they drive him still. He enjoys torturing and killing anyone who has more money, greater status, anything he does not himself possess-and that now includes flesh and blood.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think this is suitable for a right-hand man or the big villain if no other occurs, sent to gather the jewel by the Thule Gesellschaft. Let me know what you think.

Cool. That goes as right hand man. To... creepy for actual villain.

Emma 'Double-Dare' Antall

Physical Descrition: Emma 'Double-Dare' Antall is a rather attractive women with smook cheeks, a pointed chin, and deep brown hair kept tucked in a neck-long pony tail as often as the situations of a treasure hunter allows. Following the stereo-type of any exploring treasure robber however, she has a passion for leather and wears a leather jacket which comes halfway down her stomach, leaving the bottom half of her belly and some of her back exposed. Under that she wears a very simple black tank-top that hangs to her frame and leather gloves on her hands to protect them, if only a little. On top of her head, going completely off-topic of the torso she wears a dark gray fedora with a white strip of cloth around it. Below the two aformentioned sections she wears two leather belts with holsters that hold her two (rarely used) .45 inch Colt, six-shot revolvers that she always has with her when she can/ She usually wears khaki-colored pants and feminine hiking boots with metal studs in the bottom to function almost like cleets with reduced likely-hood of slipping on a smooth surface. All this somehow exemplifies her jade-green, sparkling eyes.

History: Emma grew up in London, England to a diplomat for a father and a school teacher for a mother. She was raised with the advantages of non-violence and peace taught to her from a young age but her parents also unintentionally taught her that money can be the key to anything given how they would often complain about the price of things. Thus after Emma graduated from school and became an adult, instead of marrying one of the several men that her parents tried to hook her up with (she was secretly a lesbian by this time) she instead moved to Egypt where she gained a taste for treasure and other such things. Then of course, as time advanced so did her riskiness and she began to rob tombs that had yet to be fully pick apart by government-supported archeologists and the like so she could get plenty of money without plenty of coverage to bother her. However, her non-violence based teachings still persisted despite her realization that she might need a gun just in case things got out of control. Thus she bought her two revolvers and has trained with them along with various rifles and other such items throughout the years. Upon hearing about this new adventure possibility Emma has dived on it...and her parents still don't know she's a tomb robber.

Personality: A strong lesbian, Emma doesn't neccesarily hate men but she's less likely to make an insult aimed at a woman. She mantains what she considers a witty sense of humor and has a love for money that's almost unbelievable. Emma doesn't like violence, however she is willing to 'do the deed' if it means that it can help out in the long run, the ends justifying the means. Thus she is almost what one could imagine for a tomb raider/treasure hunter of her caliber.



Here's your treasure hunter, a lesbian just to spice things up. lol.

Can i post as a henchman? a bio will follow.

An T'Bone is accepted.

Could I be the Feminine Assistant? :D Bio coming up soon.
aww, Greal, you're gonna be my assn't?

Name: Agustus Ceazar
Age: 35
Weight: 190
Height: 6 foot
Physical description: Wirey

History: A longtime mountain gauide, Agustus knows the general direction of the castle country.

Name: Shawn O' Brien
Age: 22
Physical description: Fit, well tonned, 185Lbs, green eyes, dark brown short hair, 5'8
Place of birth: Ireland
Bio: Shawn O'Briens family immigrated to Osteia, his father, mother, three brothers and four sisters. Life was tough in the Immigrant quarter of Apollo city, the Irish were caught between the Italians and the jews. Organized crime was a part of everyday life in Osteia's major citys, Shawn O'Brien Sr. assisted local crime bosses with bootlegging runs over the years up untill Shawn Jr was born, then in the next two years he would be joined by two sisters. Shawn Sr. changed his life around finding work at a steel mill.

Growing up Shawn developed a passion for fights, drink, and girls, it was in his blood. He heard of his fathers adventures before he was born and therefore got it in his head he had to follow in his foot steps. Shawn made assosiates within the neibourhood and rose quickly due to his wits and ability to scrap. Over time things grew shakey with the Italians who had a bad habbit of hitting Irish store houses up for booze then selling it as their own. The Irishmen didn't believe they had the muscle and the manpower to make the Italians back off but that theory was proved wrong when a group of Andolini assosiates attempted to hit a convoy Shawn rode along with.

These actions resulted in the loss of five Andolini gunmen, killed by Shawn alone. In responce Don Andolini burnt down three prosperous bar establishments belonging to the Irish community, a young boy was killed in the fire. Shawn and others led their countrymen into a war in the streets that raged beyond control for six months. The result of these actions was freedom from the Italian Iron fist that once gripped the city. During those six months Shawn led men against their enemys, gained alot of experiance with weapons and situations. Andolini gave him a final choice, leave the country or his family would be murdered, Shawn left for Siloin. He would do what he had to do for cash, he would let people know he was useful as a bodyguard or hired gun, that is where the money was.

OOC: That...^^^ was alot of peoples storys in Osteia during the 20's30's40's, especially immigrants in the big citys.

Accepted. Need major villain now.

Accepted. Need major villain now.

MERCENARY!!1!

Name: Johnathan Wright
Age: 33
Weight: 187 lbs
Height: 6'5"
Description: Lean and muscular; scar over his right eye from a fight earlier in his career.

History: Johnathan Wright was born the son of two aristocrats of the Industrial Revolution. He rejected the lazy and boring high life, though, in exchange for a gun; and word of his deeds spread through the world. Now, there isn't but a child who hasn't heard the story of Johnathan Wright, gun-for-hire. His preferred distance weapon is a bolt-action rifle that has been modified for comparatively quick operation, along with a pair of combat/throwing knives and two six-round revolvers for close-in combat.

Yes, New Kereptica, it is accepted.

So is yours, Tiger. We will have two mercenaries.

Dammit... I just noticed the other post.

Sad face.

By my count:
Hero ?
Professor Sandu Kazaku
F.A. Emma "Double-Dare" Antall
Mercenary Shawn O'Brian (?)
Mercenary Johnathon Wright


Evil Guy Gilberd Daamgard
Right Hand Man Hercule "Blue-Eyed Jack" Endilou
Skilled Henchman "T-Bone" O'Beal
Skilled Henchman Shawn O'Brian(?)

I'm uncertain of Shawn O'Brian side, and we need a hero, correct?

i think double-dare is supposed to be the hero...right?

Skilled Henchmen (M)


...

Sorry, Chazaka-got your guy and O'Brian mixed up, plus I see that Osteia had requested a henchmen slot, which makes it:
Hero-Emma "Double-Dare" Antell
Professor-Sandu Kazaku
Female Assistant- Greal(?)
Guide-Augustus Ceazar
Merc 1-Lynion(?)
Merc 2-Johnathon Wright

Evil Guy-Gilberd Daamgard
Right Hand Man-Hercule "Blue-Eyed Jack" Endilou
Skilled Henchman 1-"T-Bone" O'Beal
Skilled Henchman 2-Shawn O'Brian

greal was going to post for the assn't i think. i'll remind him, ok?

A lesbian eh? She'll need to hide it; Silonese Royal Edict declared Gay people an abomination, and ordered them killed.

So no pretending to be hot for the assistant publicly (ICly obviously)?

Is it too late to join this?

I wish to withdraw my application.

Why would you have to pull out to let others have a chance at RPing?

So can I step in instead?

Okay, I am back, and I see that the spots are filled. So, this afternoon, I shall start the madness.

That's a no for me then :(

Ah well...

Oh, wait. One withdrew?

Alversia, come back!

Yah! :D

What places are open?

ok, seriously, Greal had the same idea that Double-Dare was the assn't, so could y'all please give him a chance to read my message, at least?

Mercenary 1 is open.

Perfect! :D

I'll get a bio up today

Once Greal and Alversia get their bios up, I guess we're ready-though to keep the sides even, I suppose the Bad Guys could use a Femme Fatale. Sadly, we're too deep in the thread to recruit one.
