[Mr.Beyond]

O.o I'm going to play as a girl since it's a total sausage fest around here aside from dray's character and she's only fourteen. I'm more comfortable playing guys but we have enough of those >w<

Name: Bri Burns (sometimes goes by BeeBee.)

Age: 20

Physical Description: Short and relatively unimposing. Pale, dark eyes, small nose and quirky mouth. Has a thing for outlandish clothes, but she only packed sensible ones since this is supposed to be a business trip. Her bus-riding outfit is a plain white Tshirt and jeans, nothing exciting. Dyed-black hair, cut short. All in all she's pretty forgettable physically. She DOES have a tattoo, but it's on her hip so most people never see it.

Personality Description: . A daydreamer and an artist type. Slight social anxiety and has a hard time talking to people, but once the conversation get rolling she opens up quite a bit. She's prone to worrying and imagining the worst possible thing that could happen, but she usually manages to talk herself down from it. She takes anti-anxiety meds to help combat this, too. She's afraid of large crowds and packed-in spaces, and has slight claustrophobia. Aside from all this she's a pretty cheerful person day to day who is constantly thinking how she could use her surroundings as some sort of art piece. She can be a little eccentric once she stops being shy.

Equipment: Since she's supposed to be riding up to Toronto for a meeting with a possible employer, not much. Her portfolio full of art which she's reluctant to show anyone. A digital camera with a new memory card which she was planning to fill with pictures from Toronto. A relatively old but reliable cell phone- the kind that you could throw under a bus without damaging it. A week's supply of her medicine. A sketchbook with a few drawings in it, a small knife which she's convinced she won't need, a map of Toronto, a copy of her favorite book and her slightly outdated off-brand mp3 player, complete with headphones. Also her suitcase of clothes, but that's not exactly going to help anything.

Other Info: She's supposed to be going for a job interview for a possible apprenticeship with an artist in Toronto, so she's going to be relatively upset about breaking down in some little dinky town. She's heard of slenderman but is convinced he's an urban legend, just like candyman or bloody mary. She grew up in a small town, however, and actually prefers them to big cities since there's far less risk of being crushed to death in a crowd in small towns. She's not very fit, physically, preferring to think her way out of a tough spot if possible. When it comes to running or lifting heavy things she's terrible, though she's a decent tree climber. She's also a pretty strong swimmer.

and now comes the struggle one faces whenever using a female character: not making her a mary sue.

Name: Jeremiah Watson (Goes by 'Jeremy' or sometimes 'Wat')

Age: 23 years old

Physical Description:
Jeremiah is a lanky, thin individual with a small frame but broad shoulders. He isn't much in the way of musculature, and generally doesn't engage himself in anything more physical than the occassional walk in the park.

Jeremy's thin frame is made up for by a very wise, very charming facial appearance, with very short-cropped hair and a goatee. He sports rectangular-rimed glasses over sparkling brown eyes, and has a kind, if somewhat paranoid, appearance.

Usually Jeremy wears a blue jean jacket, which adds bulk to his slender figure and looks nice, to boot. His attire on his way in to town includes this jacket, along with a long-sleeved, black sweater and a pair of black jeans, plu ssneakers. He also carries his small-ish back pack, which contains a plethora of items personal to him.

Personality Description: Jeremiah is a quiet man, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have much to say. Always one to speak when spoken to, he is quick to open up to a stranger and discuss whatever they may wish to converse with him about- so long as it isn't terribly personal to him or th eother person in question.

Kind and wise, Jeremy was known in his hometown as being a rather social, if strange, sort of person. He tended to frequent bars with his friends and speak openly about his political and social views when prodded. After a long bout of writers block and un-provoked frustration with himself and his writing career, however, Jeremy decided to vacation in a small town for a while, as a change of pace. He boards the bus to Toronto, not intending to end up there, and hopefully get himself back on track...

Equipment:
Jeremy keeps only a few personal items in his back pack, since it cannot carry much and he had been expecting to stay small town for only a short amount of time. Among other things, he carries his ideas notebook, for jotting down what springs in to his head at a moment's notice, as well as a full-fledged writing notebook for fleshing out fuller ideas. Deciding to take pictures of his vacation for posterity, Jeremy packed a small camera for the trip. He also brought $1000 in cash, and a check book, just in case.

Other Info:
Jeremy has been suffering from extreem anxiety and frustration lately, making him temperamental and touchy. Friendly attempts to inquire into th enature of this behavior has been mostly fruitless...

Well, let's see what I can do...

Name: Thalci Varner (pronounced Thal-Chee)

Age: 22

Physical Description: 5' 8" with dark brown hair that falls down to her shoulders. She has deep green eyes and a small-but-noticeable scar on her right cheek. Lean and muscular with a slight tan. Right now she's wearing a dark blue T-shirt under loose black jacket with brown cargo pants.

Personality Description: Keeps to herself most of the time, but is not particularly antisocial. Likes to read and write and always carries a book or two with her wherever she goes. Although she's not very talkative, she enjoys the company of others.

Equipment: A backpack with a journal, a few books, writing notebook, pens and pencils, food, money, and a first aid kit. She also carries a Swiss army knife in her pocket.

Other Info: Thalci Varner is not her real name. She changed it to the name of a character she had once made up after running away from her old life. She has purposely forgotten most of her traumatic past, and is wandering the country looking for some place to start over again.

Personality Description: He has OCD. Whenever he sees something is wrong, he NEEDS to fix it. He also is kind of crazy. Most of the time he breaks out into a fit of anxiety and paranoia. He has 3 kids, who are 3, 9, and 6. He would never let them get hurt and its' hard for him to watch them because of his wife, who died of unknown reasons.

[SlenderSniper]

Name: Adrian McCormak

Age: 24

Physical Description: Tall, around 5'11-6' or so, with short, but thick, curly black hair. He has black eyes, and has quite pale skin, despite going outside a lot. He is wearing what he wore to work three days a go. A black tie and black suit coat, along with black pants.

Personality Description: Angry, disgruntled, mean, etc. Even as a kid he was distant, and over the years he has barely changed. Very much a know-it-all, he looks down on most people.

Equipment: 7 Cigarettes, a lighter, and a revolver he got from his closet.

Other Info: He is extremely smart, although he usually acts like an ass. Has a serious addiction to cigarettes, and his wife was the last one who can calm him down. Known to keep away from others, many avoid him as often as possible due to his terrible personality. Has a decently low voice for someone his age, and coughs quite a bit.

((Also when can we start posting with our characters. I don't plan to have him on the bus. I have different plans, although he will be close to the bus.))

[SickSlickMan]

Hey, hope it's not too late to hop in. If I'm accepted, I may need someone to walk me through how to go about this, as I've never RPed before. Also, what will be the requirements, like, postings on what day and so forth?

--Character Template--

Name: Joshua Timothy "J.T." Nelson

Age: 21

Physical Description: Five foot eight, one hundred and fifty pounds. Dark shaggy hair, hazel eyes, long nose and a lopsided grin. Hasn't shaved in two or three days. Bit of a build to his chest and arms, but is not very physically fit. What he lacks in strength he makes up for in agility; he is very fast and has plenty of endurance. Your typical city kid.

Loyal to his close friends, skeptical of everyone else. Has a dry sarcastic wit and a pessimistic view of the world. Always tries to find a way to solve a problem. A loud gum chewer. When he is encountered with something he finds interesting, he will scour the Internet for information until he is close to being an expert on the subject matter. Enjoys video games and playing paintball with his cousins. Tends to be a ghost; people often won't realize he is there until he speaks up.

Equipment: Laptop, aluminum baseball bat, four packs of gum, boone hat, high school cross country jacket, wallet, cell phone, sling-on bag.

Other Info: Heard about Marble Hornets through a friend. Looked all over the Internet for information regarding Slender Man, unknowing that the very entity is looking right back...

[Mr.Beyond]

Wow, we've got a bunch of people playing now D: I have no idea how I'm going to keep up with all the action... Guess we'll sort of branch into groups, though, as time goes on.
Also YAY I'm not the only girl now! Well, I never was, but... Shh.
Also THANK YOU ANONYMOUS GUEST FOR POINTING THAT OUT. Sure wish i KNEW WHO YOU WERE so I could PROPERLY THANK YOU. Way to be brave.


...sorry about the confusion though, I meant that her skin was pale.

[Seraphic Adonis]

First post claimed by I, the great Allan!

And I've already found a bunch of errors |: Joy.

[Mr.Beyond]

>w< I saw no errors!
and ohgod I'm too longwinded XD

[Seraphic Adonis]

I'm a serial editor; I clean up errors as I see them.

Also: are there smoking laws in America/Canada/wherever? I know that there's some in Britain and Europe, but I know nothing about what the smoking laws here would be.

((Also: I guess I didn't mention the smoking thing on my profile? In that case: 2x packets of cigarettes, 1x lighter full of butane, several packets of nicotine patches.))

[Dray]

Inventory week, been gone most of this time so haven't had a chance to even look at the forum... though it looks like there are a tonne of people playing now! Congrats!

Hey, Gatto? What town are the characters stopping in while the bus is broken down? I can't play my character until they're in town, so I'm at a loss as to what to post!
