This is mainly just for your character profiles, but you can discuss where you want the plot to go if you like. I tend to not enjoy discussing plot details ahead of time, personally. Not knowing what someone else is planning adds a certain element of.. of... organic-ness to the story, I guess. You have to be on your toes just as much as anyone else. Makes your reactions more authentic, I feel.

That being said, discuss away, of course. If you want.

My character:

Name: Logan Deckard

Gender: Male

Age: 32

Appearance: Tall, fit, and muscled. Logan's body is a result of all the combined years spent in his line of work. He's grizzled and unkempt and looks sorta like a 21st century hobo, albeit a fashionable. He tends to go out in comfortable clothes that let him move freely if he needs to get around.
Spoiler! :

Profession: Contract killer

Personality: Logan is cold and distant. He has "friends" so to speak, but they're more people that he just tends to be around as opposed to people he genuinely is friends with. He tends to be gruff and to the point. He doesn't like beating around the bush and is blunt with people who irk him. Loyal to a fault, Logan sticks to his guns. He never crosses his employer, provided they pay him properly. Disillusioned with society, he spends his days murdering people and his nights clubbing or partying to keep himself distracted. He's an emotional wreck, but he'll never show it to anyone.

History: Logan grew up in abject poverty. He watched his mother die of cancer. He watched his sisters sell their bodies. Tired of his abysmal surroundings, Logan tried to make an honest go of it, taking whatever jobs he could. When they simply didn't pan out he turned to crime. Smuggling, black market trading, running drugs, anything, until a deal-gone-wrong forced him to kill someone. Racked with guilt, he stopped all his illegal activities until a former employer put a price on his head. To save his skin, he offered his trigger finger to the man, who accepted his offer. Thus began Logan's career as a hitman. Several employers later, he's still alive and living decently, but grows ever more disillusioned and disgusted with his surroundings.

Up for love?: He's open to it, albeit not entirely eager to embrace it with open arms.

Other: Logan smokes constantly and often partakes in a multitude of party drugs to keep his mind off of how absolutely awful everything around him is.

Just gonna start this off by saying my character has multiple personality disorder, so if something happens to her while she is in another personality, she isn't going to remember it later, which should make for some interesting situations later.

Name: Kaelis Maven
alternate 1: Kael
alternate 2: Mave

age: 22

gender: female

appearance: Kaelis is small and pixie like, with a thin face and small features. She originally had dark hair, but she bleached it blonde. Her hair is just past shoulder length, and depending on which personality she is. Kaelis has several tattoos, including a flame on her wrist. Kaelis and Kael rarely smile, but Mave is always giving her signature sexy smirk.

Profession: arsonist and stripper

Personality: well, it depends on which one you're talking to.
Kaelis: Kaelis is the normal one. Kaelis is very opinionated and not afraid to tell you exactly what she thinks. She hates most everyone, and if you irritate her, you better watch your back.
Kael: Kael is shy and withdrawn, Kaelis turns to Kael when she is feeling nervous or scared. Kael rarely speaks and wears her hair over her face, hiding half of her face from view.
Mave: Mave is the loud and outgoing one. She's flirty and sexy, and wears her hair pulled back so everyone can see her gorgeous face.

History: Kaelis grew up low class, but not in total poverty. She had enough growing up, and a nice family. When she was fifteen, her house was burnt down by an arsonist while she was out, killing her entire family. That set off Kaelis's fascination with fire, and also caused her to develop her different personalities. Since, Kaelis has enjoyed fire, performing her first arson weeks after her family's death. But arson does not often bring money, and Kaelis turned to stripping for quick cash.

open for love? If it happens, it happens, but she isn't really looking.

Other: She always has a weapon, and if anyone gets too close, she'll use said weapon, so don't get close. Kaelis has experimented with drugs, yet she hasn't enjoyed the effects enough to get addicted. She only uses them occasionally, like on the anniversary of her family's death.

Name: Damien

Gender: Male

Age: 25

Appearance: He has dark hair that tickles the nape of his neck and matching eyes. His wide mouth tilts smugly to the side, and a 5 o'clock shadow runs along the lines of his jaw and down his neck. He's built, strong enough to hold his own, and there's an underlying stance of danger under his laid-back arrogance. He has multiple earrings along his right ear, fewer on the left, and he wears long necklaces and three straps of leather around his right wrist and four on his left. He wears two rings, one silver and one gold, and an old watch, also on his right hand.
Spoiler! :
Image


Profession: A pimp, though he prefers the term 'adult supervisor'. He changes his title according to his mood; for instance, if he had a bad day, he would call himself a 'whore trader'. Anything he can think of creatively, as long as it isn't the word pimp.

Personality: He is arrogant and a little bit of an egomaniac, with a dangerous glint in his eye that makes him unpredictable, unstable. His sarcastic nature has enough edge in it that it can't be brushed off by mere reassurances, and he gets under people's skin by saying only a few words. Its hard not to feel stupid around him, because he tends to treat everyone around him like an idiot unless you are on equal ground with him.
Its much too easy and too temping to get caught on the high that is Damien, drowned in a dangerous monster of sex, alcohol, and danger. Damien doesn't drink much himself, however he is rather fond of his cigarettes, he doesn't sleep with anyone, especially his girls, and he's too smart and clever to put himself in harm's way. Mostly, the people that affiliate with him do, most of the time trying to impress or copy Damien's lifestyle and ending up overdoing it. He just sits back and observes as the peoples' lives around him crumple and suffocate, never moving to help, and never taking into great mind when his next wave of desperate followers destined to the same path filter in. He just sits back and observes, sits back and observes.
Out first, when he was younger, he even got a kick when one of his 'friend's' lives was mercilessly destroyed when they tried to play a game only the smart and careful ones could. However the more lives that died at his feet, the more it began to wear on him. He eventually figured that fools were destined to get tricked, and whenever another one joined the skeletons in his closet he dismissed it with that phrase.

History: (Well, part of it was covered in the Personality section.) His mother was a prostitute, and he felt no sentimental attachment to her since he could remember his first thought. She was just the womb that produced him, nothing more than that to him and a sexual relief for others. However his mother's 'adult supervisor', a large man with a loud bark of a laugh that went by Victor, took him under his wing and brought him everywhere he went. As you can tell, that's not the best way to raise a child. Damien learned from the people that he met and the places he had been and it turned him into a twisted, heartless kid. Women were objects was the first lesson. Those that don't pay up front are shown special treatment out back was the second. Stay away from the drug business because cops had the noses of steel was the third. It went like that, so on and so forth. He continues to work underneath Victor.

Up for love?: Are you drawn in by his devilish smile, his confidant stride, or his air of constant danger and thrill? Or are you hoping to find some humanity in this bastard child, redeeming him of his sins? Whatever your reason, Damien doesn't believe or permits love in his life; it messes with his business. But if you are willing, so am I.

Other: He doesn't like knives and especially doesn't like guns, as he thinks that any man or woman is too much of a coward to fight with their bare hands. He doesn't make a lot of promises outside of business, but they're as trustworthy as there is dirt beneath your feet and grime in between your fingers. He doesn't like large animals either, only eating them. Also, he was named when he was seven; that's why there is no last name. His lighter is small and square, with a reflective surface.

Yep. I want to join this mainly because of your rule against Mary Sue teenage girls.

Name: Beonca

Gender: female

Age (17 and up, folks): 23

Appearance (optional): Long and straight dark red hair. No bangs, and pale grey eyes that look almost washed out. Ivory skin, small features, petit with long legs and lashes. Usually wears loose black hoodies, it helps hide her curves and avoid unwanted attention.

Profession: thief

Personality: Impulsive, and just as quick to smile as she is to slip her hand into your jacket and pick you clean. She's a compulsive liar with a sharp tongue that's always looking out for herself. She doesn't have many friends, and attempts at conversation with her are usually met with the death glare. Unless you have well lined pockets, that is. She doesn't trust anyone, and you'd have to be an idiot to trust her.
She does have her own unique sense of justice though. She refuses to steal from the poor, but trust me, she's no Robin Hood.

History: Not much to tell really. She grew up on the streets, her sister was a prostitute. One night she found her beaten to death in an alleyway, and ran. Since then she's been picking pockets, and performing the occasional break in. She's worked some jobs, but she doesn't have an employer.

Up for love?: She'll never admit it,(she can barely admit it to herself) but she's actually a bit lonely. But she believes that being on her own is safer, and certainly isn't looking for a lover. Though, if you happen to fall for her pretty face... well, good luck with that.(straight)

Other: She's very good at what she does, if you cross her, she'll be sure to make you pay.

She doesn't do drugs, and doesn't smoke, but she goes out drinking and partying at least three nights a week.
