please note: the more ridiculous your backstory/abilitiy is, the less likely I am to choose you.


If you can't contact me over Google Talk we'll also have an IRC room at some point.
Please include in your application if you can join an IRC room or not.



Tomaster, nice job. You'll probably be accepted.

Natti, please include an ability. Your backstory is a little out there.

Hyperkultra, nice backstory. You'll likely also be accepted.

111herbert111, your dude was born in 1957? ... My story takes place around 2050.
Also, the city in question isn't communist. It isn't militaristic, either.



I will be using 1d10 for this RtD. Actually, I'll be rolling 1d5+1d6-1.
But nevermind that. Point is, +1s aren't as powerful as they would be in other RtDs.

Use +2s for more potent abilities. +1 is fine for more spread out, constant bonuses.

I completely misinterpeted, my bad, as such I withdraw from RtDs until I stop being awful at this kind of thing.

Ah, I included an ability. Which is the powerful rage when angried.
So +2 to all melee rolls while rage is in action. The rage lasts 3 rolls.

Please remember this is not first-come first-serve. I'll pick my five favorite character applications when I start the game.
Feel free to edit your characters at any time.

From now on, please PM me character applications.


Natti, that's fine.

That's a pretty over-the-top story.

There, a little less crazy.

Wasn't necessarily a bad thing, but okay. Hell, the least believable part is really the huge number of attempted escapes.

Oops. I can do Google Chat, or IRC.

Name - Jonathan Freist
Age - 25
Appearance - Tall, muscular, very bright hazel eyes covered by thick tufts of shaggy brown hair. He always wears casual, unclean clothes, as if to taunt his past life when he always wore a suit.

Backstory - Jonathan's family was rich. He was thought to have everything he'd ever wanted as a child. The only thing that he wasn't given was respect. He was paid no attention to, despite all the efforts Jonathan took as a child to be noticed. He was actually quite skilled at crafting little gizmos out of anything he could find, but his father never recognized him as one of the family for a reason that Jonathan never discovered. His failed attempts to be seen eventually transformed from creation to destruction. He broke china, tore up pictures and furniture, and made messes all over the house. When his father finally acted, it was only to lock Jonathan in his own room. The boy escaped, and survived secretely by eating what his mother brought to him in secret. He plotted many times to kill his own father, but was dissuaded when his father died from an incurable disease only months after Jonathan escaped. He never knew the secrets of his family, because his mother fell into a depression after that, and was unable to speak, much less tell him why his father seemed to hate him so much. Jonathan was left to wrestle with his own thoughts of whether or not his dad deserved to die for the rest of his life. He eventually found a job as a construction worker, and he liked the work, although it never really let him create what brilliant designs he had in mind.

News of his mother's death eventually came, but he didn't take the fortune that was left him. He spread it throughout the surrounding poorer areas. Many people felt the relief of the sudden donation, but they had no idea who gave it to them. Only rumors of a rich family with no children to pass their fortune to.

Jonathan remained an inventor at heart. In his spare time, he still managed to make those little things that never swayed his father, but made him happy. And he never needed anyone's recognition.

Ability - Inventor's Mind (+1 to all crafting)



EDIT - Changed character's name because it's been a long time since I posted it and I decided I didn't like what I chose earlier.

I've edited my original post a little bit.

Nighthawk, I said to PM me characters.

Anyway, yes, it's fine.

Do we who have already posted the characters to PM them too?

I would appreciate it.

Ok guys, I'm working on the story a bit more, filling in the holes, and dealing with other issues.
I hope to start some time next month. Dont hold your breath.

I still only have five player applications.

I need MOAR!
