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]

Well, subconciously, everyone is moderately drawn to New Orleans, because apparrntly, Tobias is a very popular man. ;3
All I know is that LaReina's characters are coming to New Orleans, and now Stolens. We all plan on running into each other there.

Now's the time, while we still only have three pages!

I would really appreciate it if you character were a Drone, but you can make whatever you want.

Um, wow, uh... I'll just peek at the census I've yet to post... We have 12 guys and 9 girls, and JustDance=], who will be here tomorrow supposedly, has reserved two girls, which will leave only one character difference between the boy/girl ratio.

Ages wise, well, here:

16-18: /
19-21: /////
22-24: ////
25+ : //////////

Thanks!

Do any of the other Loyalties that gathered at the airport know what to do next? I posted last with those regards, with Larara and Rebecca joining Mari and (I think) David. But no one has posted anything with that since O_o

I think, if I am correct, we are waiting for our 'assignment' from Joseph Hafton. Right?

So, if anyone can think of an assignment, or if someone wants to join us with an idea of what to do next, please don't hesitate to give suggestions

We're kinda stuck here XD

Thanks ^^

;O
Is there anyone that would be a commodity to the Loyalties?
You guys could find out about Tobias and go after him. It could arise some interesting conflict with Jack who is a rebel.

Just to let everyone know, I'm leaving on the morning of the 6th, but I'll be back sometime on the 10th.

Thank God for laptops!! I'll be bringing mine with me, so I may be able to get a connection, as hotels usually have free wi-fi. If not, anyone who's left here and still posting, I trust you'll try to keep all characters alive

Thanks guys ^^

To Last Post by Raynechild:

I think you mean Gary. Mitchell isn't at Starbucks, I don't think.

And I don't know if Loyalties have aliases or not. Most powered people who are known by one group or another have them, because it's down right dangerous to have powers. Raven's alias is Kasandra Honors, because Kasandra Honors doesn't have powers, but Raven Thistle does, and if a Drone or something goes up to her and asks her name, she can say Kasandra Honors and be a-okay. Wow. Long sentance.

Well, I thought that Joseph called up Mitchell and told him to go get Tobias. That's what Billy's last post said. Right? Ahh!! I need to read more carefully! Maybe he just isn't there yet

I will read up again and fix it if necessary, if not, I shall return and argue my point! Lol. Well, not argue, but stand in its defense XD Thanks for bringing it up, though!

Lol okay. I just wasn't sure if we should be handing out our names like that. So it's okay if it stays? Or should we think up pseudonyms?

EDIT:
Okay! You were right ^^ I will fix that RIGHT NOW!!!

*scurries off to fix post
