Saving Face DT

TexanWriter · 2009-06-13T18:10:43Z

This is the DT for Saving Face. Discuss plots, claim characters, etc. Please post all profiles here, I want to keep the actual story thread neat and tidy. Technicalities: Please delete all notes when posting a profile You can have up to three characters, if you can handle it Add anything you want. This is just the basics of what we need. Please, take your time and make this thorough. It will make me very happy. And nothing from deviantart.com Profile Stencil Name: (Last, First Middle “Nickname” (nickname optional)) Age: (Two characters 15-17, two characters 18-20, three 21-24, rest 25+) Gender: (try to keep boy to girl ratio even-ish) Occupation: (Duh, you have a life) Side: (Loyalty, Rebel, Drone or Civilian) Home: (Where you currently live and what type of home) Normal Abilities: (e.g., “Fast swimmer since she was in a swim club once” or “Is really strong from high school football”) Paranormal Abilities (aka superpowers): (If you need help with ideas, here’s a link to a list of powers. Don’t use powers already taken, keep the powers related to each other (as in, don’t make ).) Weaknesses and Flaws: (You gotta have them, whether they relate to your power (e.g., a water manipulator be doubly hurt by fire) or not (e.g., a phobia)) Likes/Interests: Dislikes: Physical Appearance: -Nationality: -Height: -Weight: -Hair: -Eyes: -Picture: (It has to be a real photo. I will be a very happy girl if you include one, but it's optional.) -Other: Style of Dress: (average outfit, such as jackets, hats, shirts, pants, colors, blah blah blah) Personality: Family/Friends/Pets: (List the name then title, e.g. “Johnny Dill, Brother” or “Fido, Pet Dog”) History: (You must fill this out) Up for Love? Other: (Disabilities? Quirks? Basically, anything about your character that didn’t fit into any of the other categories) Reference to Sides: [spoiler]Sides No one’s entirely good, and no one’s pure evil. Don’t pick a side based on “Is my character a hero or villain?” because that question is unusable. If your character was taken, think about which one you want to write about or needs more characters. If your character picked, well, which one would your character pick? Loyalties: You saw he was powerful. You knew he would win. Either that, or you were held at gunpoint and brainwashed. You are a Powered who is quite literally loyal to “the Traitor” (whose name you don’t know, but it’s Joseph Hafton. You can’t claim Joseph, he’s mine). You call him “Master”. Some would call you stupid for trusting him; others, brilliant. There are so many feelings on this subject in politics, you’ve learned to just ignore them all and do your own thing (or whatever you’re told). Loyalties aren’t the bad guys. In fact, they’re probably better than any of the other groups. They’re like spies; they act like anyone else off the street when you’re looking, but when it’s time to go to work they’re someone completely different. Very few of them are mean. And they aren’t henchmen. They just see that this is the winning side, and picked it. However, your life as a Loyalty isn’t a 24/7 gig. It’s usually just whenever your particular services are needed and you’re called upon that you really stand out as a Loyalty. You can be needed anywhere from weeks at a time to only a few hours. You never know. Loyalties are very manipulative and find ways You never really break the law (outside of assassination and the occasional kidnapping on order) just for the heck of it or for survival. Rebels: You’re completely on your own. Well, except maybe some fellow rebels or a few friendly civilians who don’t think Powered are dangerous monsters out to take over the world. Rebels are kept on their toes running from Drones. Not literally, an actual chase is very rare. This is supposed to be as realistic as Sci-Fi with superheroes™ can get. But anyways, Rebels are enemies with every other group. They’re the outcasts, and have no friends other than themselves. It’s not like they don’t have lives, however. Most create aliases and continue living life like a Civilian. Drones: You have no memories of what happened to you before your life as a government agent. No one knows you exist. Everything’s a secret. Your only companions? Your fellow Drones. Drones were taken from their previous life by force once word got out they had powers. They were then brainwashed and trained as a soldier. This could have happened when you were 13 (when powers first start to show their faces) or older. However, you’re still human. You still have emotions, hopes, dreams, fears. Drones are the secret agents of the government. They hunt down Loyalties and Rebels to capture, brainwash and Civilian: Either you don’t have powers (your average Joe off the street), or you do and it hasn’t become publicly known (hope against all hope that you aren’t found out), you aren’t part of any of the powered groups. Civilians, the non-Powered type, tend to think that all Powered are dangerous, useless hooligans whose only purpose is to disturb what peace there is. Civilians, the Powered type, just think, “I hope I can hide my powers”. Civilians are average people with average jobs and general problems with the usual joys and normal sorrows. They have homes, bomb shelters, financial issues, they care about politics, they’re just human. Nothing more.[/spoiler]

Okay, not Gary yet, and I'd rather wait on Raven. JustDance hasn't given a single post yet, so you could always go after Julie. I'm not sure where she is, though.

I don't want to sound whiny, but I have absolutely no idea of what to do with my characters. I have one in loyalties and a civilian I'm determined to work in somewhere, if that's helpful at all, but as you seem to already have a bit of a plan going on and nothing is going on in New Orleans anymore, I'm stuck.

If anyone has ANY ideas for things I can do with these guys, PLEASE let me know. I joined this thread because it looked interesting and would really love to contribute.

Well your loyalty can join our kidnappers. And for the civilian....Maybe she could find one of the old ones, and later get kidnapped as well.

Well this book went down in a blade of glory, but it was fun while it lasted.
I'm actually just trying to earn points because i have none lol.
Hmm, i really like my character in this and alot of others. Their personalities were very unique.
Texan and I made a new storybook and its turning out wonderful.
You guys should look it up Gladiators.
It's really fun if you feel up to it.

That's a clip of a story I'd like to continue.
Did you know that i wanna learn Latin.
I think it'd be so cool to know the origin of our language. (:
well yeah this was for points so bye!
pm me for more information about gladiators
