IC (http://role-player.net/forum/showthread.php?t=80263)



Still recruiting; we have room for 2 more characters!

Synopsis
March 1949 - Scotland

Just off the north coast of Scotland lies the small isle of Brùn. Covered by a dense forest and split in half by a creek, the isle's only village - Brùnswick - populates a whopping 15 people. Three miles further, past the creek and in the heart of the forest, lies an old, nearly abandoned manor: Black Creek Manor. After centuries of noblemen, only the eccentric old groundkeeper remains in the estate. Nobody ever really pays attention to the old decaying manor.

Until a mysterious ad shows up in a couple of local newspapers on the mainland of Scotland:


30.000 POUND REWARD FOR BRAVE SOULS
Sir William McChonnigh offers a prize pool of £30.000 (thirty-thousand pounds)
to be distributed among contestants who manage to inhabit
Black Creek Manor situated on Brùn Isle for 7 days without leaving the premises.
Please contact your local post office to receive a registration form.

A group of curious Scots flock to the isle, hungry for a portion of the hefty reward - how hard could it be, anyway? But upon arriving at the manor, they may receive more of a challenge than they bargained for...

Floorplan

Room descriptions
Guest room (2nd floor)
"There was a large four-poster bed at the far end, pushed against pale grey walls. They were covered by patterned quilts, almost like embroidery.
It was nothing superbly fancy, but it looked enticing anyway, with its deep purple rug and a dark chestnut wardrobe to one side. There was a mirror on a small dresser on the other side of the room, as she trailed her finger across the deep engravings, dust sprinkled lazily to the ground. It obviously hadn't been cleaned in a long time." - Namine_600

North-western bedroom with curved walls and on-suite bathroom and closet (2nd floor)
Clickity click (http://s577.photobucket.com/user/Beki_Beaulieu/media/image_zpsrsypd0ee.jpeg.html) - The Texan Queen
"The old-fashioned four-poster was the centerpiece. [...] The chintsy chairs, ornate mirrors and hangings were, he calculated, worth a small fortune." - Sy23

Sitting room (2nd floor)
"velvet sofas" - Cassiopeia

Parlor (2nd floor)
"dark wallpaper" - Cassiopeia

Play room (2nd floor)
"The next room's door they tried opened with an eerie creek; as a soft breeze blew through the room from a crack in the window to the door, a small wooden children's horse rocked back and forth." - Cassiopeia

Servants' room (2nd floor)
"It was small and barely decorated; it was clear no passion had gone into the design of this room and was only suited for mere servants. [...] the beds in this room were just steel frames" - Cassiopeia

I had a few questions. Do our characters have to be Scottish? How often do you plan for people to post, and how long of posts would be expected. Do characters have to fall in a male/female binary? I'm going to assume everything is following the real history of our world or is there any alternate history or information about the world we'd need to know?

They have to be in the area at the time the ad appears in local newspapers, but they don't have to be Scottish; they can be immigrants or just passing through. Just make sure they have a good reason to be in Scotland at that time =)

I'm not yet very familiar with the frequency with which people generally post here, so I'm not completely sure of the answer. I don't expect to set a maximum frequency though unless it gets really crazy and people post every 5 minutes (lol as if). Sorry, I really don't know the answer :P

As for post-length, I'd like to encourage posts of about 2 or 3 paragraphs. I'm fine with longer (happy even), not really down for shorter (unless the situation in the plot calls for a quick and short response).

No, characters aren't required per se to fall in the gender binary, but we do follow a semi-realistic history (semi-realistic because there will be supernatural forces involved). According to my quick Google search the first awarenessgroups for transgenders started emerging in the 1950s, so at the point of the RP (1949) they are still fairly unknown/unaccepted but at the point of being accepted. Sir McChonnigh wouldn't mind though - I can imagine the character will have to have hidden his/her genderfluidity from society and might feel more comfortable in the manor, but might raise a few eyebrows of the other residents.

Further info is that Brùn and Brùnswick are fictional, but similar to every other real existing isle in Scotland. So no extraordinarily different landscapes or climate on the Isle of Brùn. The exact history of the island, village and manor will be explained more in detail in the RP itself, but for all the contestants know Brùn is just another isle like the others.

Hope this answers some of your questions =)

[Tolvo]

If i made a trans character I was expecting they wouldn't really be accepted or have the modern terminology, as well on a form they'd not mention they are trans but I guess in general I should have just asked if the sheet has to contain information a character would like to keep secret or if they could keep such details off the sheet. Or is the sheet just out of character and not something that would essentially be "Turned in" ?

Yep it answers my questions. I might start to work on a character soon.

It's OOC; I just made it IC to try and be edgy and original lol ;P Thanks though for the questions, I wouldn't have thought about it that way haha. I'll edit some clarification into the OP! Very excited to see your character!

EDIT: let me just quickly correct myself, I think it'd be best to keep the form IC but put OOC comments (like secrets) in the comment section, because there will most likely be some feedback on the registration form IC. Sorry for my lack of thinking that through hahaha. Once again, good questions raised! ;P

[Tolvo]

Alright, and thanks for the clarification. Also it's ok I can't even count how many clarifications I've had to put in my RP's or things I missed in how they come off. I think that happens with basically every RP that gets posted.

Kateryna is bisexual, and feels attraction to both women and men, only with more of a preference for women. She also comes across as cold hearted and at times harsh due to her inability to trust many people.

She arrived in Scotland during her travels, and heard from the locals about the Black Creek Manor. She became interested

@Namine thank yoouu ^_^ Love the character so far, her coldness should yield some interesting interactions.

My own character:



This form is to certify that Alan Byrne will inhabit Black Creek Manor, Brùn, for 7 days. The contestant will share the prize of £30.000 (thirty-thousand pounds) among any and all contestants who remain on the premises for 7 days.

Sex: M
Age: 24
Occupation: worker at a medical equipment factory

Personality: a hard-working young chap with a sharp mind and eager to prove his worth to the world. Socially not very skilled, but intelligent enough to compensate for it.
Bio: Served in the Military Training Act in 1945 for 6 months as part of the military conscription. Never sent to the battlefront, for the war had ended by the time training had ended. Unwed. Loyal worker at a medical equipment company for 3 years now.
Appearance: 5'11 height. Caucasian, dark blonde hair. Blue eyes. Wears round glasses and mostly suits, apart from worker's uniform.

http://i.imgur.com/ZDzQwoG.jpg

Comments: During his time at the medical company, Alan has picked up on a fascination for the afterlife. In his sparetime he works on his own inventions and machinery to either prove or disprove the existence of ghosts. Alan is an enthusiastic sceptic: his head says there is no life after death, but his heart wishes it so. The ad interested him because not only would he have a chance of winning money to fund his own company, he also heard Black Creek Manor is heavily haunted - and he intends to put his instruments to the test.

The contestant is expected to arrive at Brùnswick Port where they will be provided with transportation to Black Creek Manor.

Thank you! (:
I will probably make another character once I'm comfortable with my own throughout the roleplay

Sex:
m
Age:
over 21! Will say no more.
Occupation:
Adventurer (Uses the euphemism "Consultant")

Personality: (please provide a short description of your character traits)
Wise cracking, cynical, smartassed, flirtacious. More than a touch of the larcenous. Selfish, but with a strange hidden core of chivalry. Polite, unless offended.

Bio: (please provide a short description of your history)
Born somewhere in the slums of London. Has worked as at many professions, but as a habitual liar it is hard to know which one of his claimed qualifications are invented. He certainly can display many abilities usually associated with the criminal classes, but a trawl of international police files will find them curiosuoly devoid of information.

Comments: (please provide any and all OOC information you would like to inform the GM and not Sir McChonnigh of in this section) The name given isn't his real one. He will cheat, in fact do anything to win out in this enterprise. Surprisingly, he is NOT a sceptic as far as occult phenomenon goes, though he will loudly proclaim the reverse publicly.

I have a quick question (presuming my character is accepted) - do we have to regard Kateryna the way mainstream people would have done in the late 40s, ie with some suspicion and distaste in varying degree, or can we break period enough to treat her with a reasonable amount of acceptance and respect. It's just I feel kind of uncomfortable being homophobic even IC...

[Tolvo]

Well is your character of mainstream opinions? Or would you rather they were more progressive for the time? I'd say go more progressive if you are uncomfortable with trying to play a homophobic character, and in either case avoid slurs(I'd appreciate if slurs were avoided, as a queer person myself).

[Cassiopeia]

I'd say go more progressive if you are uncomfortable with trying to play a homophobic character, and in either case avoid slurs(I'd appreciate if slurs were avoided, as a queer person myself).

Yeah, this actually. I'd appreciate historical correctness but value companionship (even if the initial homophobia is IC and not the same as your own opinions) moreso within the RP and here in the topic :) I'm fine with hesitation at first, but if it's possible for characters to be more progressive that would be best.

EDIT: sorry lol forgot to even respond to your character sheet. Definitely accepted! Curious to see the photo :)

[The Texan Queen]

Are you still accepting people?

This form is to certify that Edgar III Brunworth will inhabit Black Creek Manor, Brùn, for 7 days. The contestant will share the prize of £30.000 (thirty-thousand pounds) among any and all contestants who remain on the premises for 7 days.

Sex: (M)
Age: 21
Occupation: Philanthropist

Personality: Let me tell you all about myself. I'm a hard worker, strapping lad, and rather chivalrous man. As well I have a great head on my shoulders. I'll have you know that I've put myself in harm's way to help others countless times. I practically breath generosity and care for my fellow people. Some people say I'm a pompous greedy jerk who is only around to take advantage of others. This isn't the case! I'm a true red white and blue capitalist! There is no one more trustworthy than I. On top of it I don't have any vices, I'm quite a virtuous man!
Bio: As a young boy I was raised on the Brunworth estate by my parents and many servants. Life was not always easy on the estate and as such my parents were rigorous in disciplining me and teaching me. I was home schooled but my father is a well established jeweler and a man of science. Unfortunately during the war I was too young to participate but I'll have you know we did support the war efforts financially to send the krauts packing. I personally hosted a charity drive for just such an occasion which turned out to be a rousing success. As an adult I've become a philanthropist where I use my generosity to improve the lives of others. In fact one enterprise I'm currently linked with is Hadacol, maybe you've heard of it. As well I'm thinking of investing in another surefire gem called Paregoric. A medicine that'll cure so many problems! Currently I'm spending my vacation in Scotland taking in the sights and deciding if there is any land I wish to purchase.
Appearance: Tall, broad shouldered, handsome, with adorable dimples. Short straight blond hair, blue eyes, a deep tan, respectably large muscles. Long nice legs that go on till the end of days. Typically I wear a double breasted blue suit pants, light teal suit jacket, beneath that a white sweater vest over a dress shirt and tucked polka dot red bow tie. Two tone white and brown leather shoes. And to top it off a gray fedora I tend to wear when the heat's not too bad. While you may not see them I always wear a pair of dark blue and navy blue diamond pattern argyle socks held up by sock garters.

Comments: Edgar likes to brandish being an American but this is because of his paranoia about how people will react about his German heritage. Being born in the USA he doesn't have an accent but over compensates. He is addicted to opium and regularly drinks, on top of having a habit of gambling.

[Sy23]

Tolvo, thinking it over, I am of the opinion that a guy who has mixed with the underworld as much as Robert, and been around so much would probably not have the typical mid-20th century feelings. I could probably have him able to accept gay and lesbian people without breaking realism. So yeah, all's good.

[Cassiopeia]

@Tolvo; I love it, welcome aboard!

@Texan Queen, yep, still accepting! :) I plan on opening the IC as soon as we have at least 5 characters (we're on 4 now) but there's room for at least 10 characters :)

I'll update the OP when I get home. General notice for new applicants; I'd like to balance out the genders a bit so if you could consider applying with a female character as opposed to males, much obliged!

Sex: Female

Age: 24

Occupation: News Reporter

Personality: Amelia has always been a curious girl, she can still hear her mother saying ‘curiosity killed the cat’ in her head whenever she begins to dig into something. She tends to flirt and play around a little too much, she doesn’t really know where the line has been drawn with some people. Her smile never seems to fade and she always minds her manners, but she can get a little spicy at times if you get enough whiskey in her or poke at her too much.

Bio: Amelia grew up in a wealthy family. Her father a retired officer and now a well-known business man he kept the money coming in and food on the plate. Her mother was a dancer in her younger years and then turned to modeling, but that didn’t last long when she met her now husband. Amelia’s family is a pillar in their community and looked upon by many for guidance, especially now that her mother is running for Mayor. She went to a private school all her life, went to church every Sunday and did everything her parents expected of her. The only thing she didn’t do that her parents so wished she would was to marry young and settle with children. That’s not the life she wanted so she went off to school to study journalism and came out the top of her class with a job offer the da she graduated. Amelia has been working as a News Reporter for quite some time now and her face is being recognized in the city she reports on.

Sex: Female
Age: 25
Occupation: Starving artist

Personality: I am what others have called eccentric. I have, admittedly, peculiar interests and tend to enjoy privacy. I am also known to scribble and sketch while talking to people. It isn't to be rude, I just don't want leave any ideas that might pop into my head unexplored.
Bio: I have lived in small fishing towns up and down the coast of Scotland since I moved out of my parents' home at 18, usually moving because I've run out of funds or worn out my welcome.

However, I hope that this opportunity may grant me more permanent lodgings and allow me to do what I love best.
Appearance:

@Dearshul welcome aboard! ^^

The IC (http://role-player.net/forum/showthread.php?t=80263) is up! As soon as everybody's introductory post is up, all characters will be shipped off to the manor! You may respond to each other in the meantime.

[Cassiopeia]

This form is to certify that Hope Evans will inhabit Black Creek Manor, Brùn, for 7 days. The contestant will share the prize of £30.000 (thirty-thousand pounds) among any and all contestants who remain on the premises for 7 days.

Sex: F
Age: 22
Occupation: nurse

Personality: I'm a naturally caring soul. I am usually very calm and hard to anger. I despise liars and cheats.
Bio: I've been a nurse since I was 16 at the Glasgow hospital, and have tended to many wounded soldiers. I have now moved back to Elgin to care for my disabled father next to my nursing work at the local hospital.
Appearance: 5'3", fair haired, blue eyes.

Comments: the war has scarred the young Hope. Her fiancée was killed in battle when she was 17 - he was only 23 - and her father was left disabled, for whom she is now caring, since her mother died when she was younger. Her little sister Erin will care for her father while Hope goes to Black Creek Manor. She's in it for the prizemoney - she hopes to muster up enough money to offer herself and her father a better life. Hope was raised Catholic, but since she saw the monstrosity of men during the war, she's lost her faith.

@Dearshul if you want to reply to Hope, but feel like your post would be too short, feel free to PM me to cowrite a post ^^

[The Texan Queen]

I am so sorry! Once I'm done and settled in for the night I'll get a post up. My family came into town and I tried to keep up with things on here but I obviously dropped the ball!

[Tolvo]

I'm sorry I haven't posted yet either, my sleep ended up out of schedule at basically the worst time possible so daily I've been mostly in and out of consciousness.

[The Texan Queen]

I posted! It's shorter than I wanted it to be, but I am drained from today.

[Sy23]

I posted! It's shorter than I wanted it to be, but I am drained from today.

Great post. But what's a "dirt martini?"

[The Texan Queen]

Ugh. I tried to catch all the typos, I just recently got Windows 10, which came with new Microsoft shit and the Word can't keep up with how fast I type *eye roll* I meant dirty martini lmao!

[Tolvo]

I'm sorry to say but I think I'll have to drop out of the RP. I'm not as used to RP'ing during stories set in this time period and my lack of knowledge is really hindering me. I figured I should say sooner rather than later so I don't drag anything out or hold a spot someone else could be taking. I do hope the RP goes really well. :)

[Cassiopeia]

@Tolvo sorry to hear that :( but I can completely understand. Thanks for letting me know! :) I'm headed home right now and I'll have a post up today. As soon as they've arrived it's free game; little to no waiting on GM posts! :)

[Cassiopeia]

Post is UP! ^^ The OP of both IC and OOC were updated to contain the floorplan found below;

Floorplan
http://i.imgur.com/pAcsW7u.jpg (http://i.imgur.com/pAcsW7u.jpg)
Click to be directed to the original, large file. PLEASE NOTE! This floorplan is for your reference only, the characters DO NOT have a physical copy of the floorplan, they'll have to explore for themselves!

We've arrived at the manor, so the games can really begin now! Feel free to fill in the rooms' decoration to your own imagination. Very excited to start our in-game week of spookiness!

[The Texan Queen]

Posted! Let me know if you want me to take out the part where she saw Niles, I figure someone had to see the sneaky act.

[ｒａｂｂｉｔ]

Hey everyone! I was wondering if we could squeeze in another?

[Cassiopeia]

@Texan Queen; no problem! ;)

@rabbit sure thing! We've just popped everyone into the manor. If you can get around to filling in the form (and it's accepted of course, but I'm definitely not the strictest ;p) you can be a late guest! :)

I'll get a post up somewhere tonight or tomorrow night!

[ｒａｂｂｉｔ]

Weeehhhw! I know, I've been reading and stalking this since it opened. I just need to finish the bio and it'll be up in a few.



This form is to certify that Willa Roxbury will inhabit Black Creek Manor, Brùn, for 7 days. The contestant will share the prize of £30.000 (thirty-thousand pounds) among any and all contestants who remain on the premises for 7 days.

Sex: M / ( F )
Age: 23
Occupation: None

Personality: Confident, competitive, loving and nurturing, protective of friends, independent and outspoken.
Bio: The only daughter of Lord Rexford Roxbury, my two older brothers are bound for law school and the House of Lords in parliament, it is my priviledge to follow in my mother’s footsteps as a philanthropist and socialite. My family and several of my friends with their families were in Glasgow in the interest of business and politics when this advertisement was published, and our interest was piqued.
Appearance: See attatched

http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk132/HimitsuDesu_/willa2_zpshciji0ou.jpg

Comments: Ruled by insecurities, often haughty and confident to compensate; reguarded as knowledgeable and intelligent, but seldom leaves success to chance, or her own talents, and has been known to sabotage her competition. Willa has entered this competition as a dare from her socialite friends and is here quite begrudgingly, apparently with something to prove - though she won't admit it even to herself. “Well, they may have the title, but Roxbury will have to win a sum like that to pad her dowry,” she’d overheard. Later was when the wager was made. Also, she's English.

The contestant is expected to arrive at Brùnswick Port where they will be provided with transportation to Black Creek Manor.

Squeaky; Amelia wasn't talking to your character, she was talking to Sy's. Unless I misread things Sy's character followed Amelia and yours was in a bedroom and then went to explore. Sorry for any confusion!

[Squeaky91]

Yeah sorry, I just read it. My brother just came back from over seas so all I have time to do is skim the post till later on in the night. I'll go edit it, my bad.

[Mr.Cynic]

I'd like to join

[The Texan Queen]

Squeaky; It's okay! ^.^ I am always having blonde moments like that! Enjoy your time with your brother!

[Cassiopeia]

@rabbit yay, welcome aboard! :) I'll just send you a quick PM ^^

@thebadguy; no problem! Just fill in the character sheet. I'll let you know if it needs any changes, and if not; I'll be very excited to see you join! :)

Alright, I was wondering if you guys want me to quickly fill in the map who has taken claim of which rooms yet, or is it enough for you to know your roommates (if you get them)?

I'm closing up the recruitment after 2 more characters, by the way! (1 when thebadguy submits their sheet :) )

[Dearshul]

It would be cool to know where everyone is in case someone wants to visit people in a different bedroom, if it isn't too much trouble of course. ^^'

[ｒａｂｂｉｔ]

Yes, a map like that would be cool! And graphics for our characters would be a dream come true, in case you get bored.

[Sy23]

Cassiopeia I agree a graphic would be useful. Almost like "cluedo" in RP!!!

[Cassiopeia]

No problem, I'll conjure something up! Are there any other people who'd like a banner in the same style as Hope and Alan's? I'll be making one for rabbit.



http://i.imgur.com/yF2EN49.jpg

Only Robert and Willa (who has yet to arrive) will need to pick a room! :) I'll update as soon as they've settled in ;)

Room descriptions so far:

Guest room (2nd floor)
"There was a large four-poster bed at the far end, pushed against pale grey walls. They were covered by patterned quilts, almost like embroidery.
It was nothing superbly fancy, but it looked enticing anyway, with its deep purple rug and a dark chestnut wardrobe to one side. There was a mirror on a small dresser on the other side of the room, as she trailed her finger across the deep engravings, dust sprinkled lazily to the ground. It obviously hadn't been cleaned in a long time." - Namine_600

North-western bedroom with curved walls and on-suite bathroom and closet (2nd floor)
Clickity click (http://s577.photobucket.com/user/Beki_Beaulieu/media/image_zpsrsypd0ee.jpeg.html) - The Texan Queen
"The old-fashioned four-poster was the centerpiece. [...] The chintsy chairs, ornate mirrors and hangings were, he calculated, worth a small fortune." - Sy23

Sitting room (2nd floor)
"velvet sofas" - Cassiopeia

Parlor (2nd floor)
"dark wallpaper" - Cassiopeia

Play room (2nd floor)
"The next room's door they tried opened with an eerie creek; as a soft breeze blew through the room from a crack in the window to the door, a small wooden children's horse rocked back and forth." - Cassiopeia

Servants' room (2nd floor)
"It was small and barely decorated; it was clear no passion had gone into the design of this room and was only suited for mere servants. [...] the beds in this room were just steel frames" - Cassiopeia

Don't worry about being too strict about it all, I just like having an overview :)

[Mr.Cynic]

Are you looking for specific roles? Genders?

edit-

Also what year is this?

[ｒａｂｂｉｔ]

It's 1949! I think the girls outnumber the guys right now, so if you maybe wanted to even that out? Not that it matters, but if girls win the prize money and guys don't... /giggles;

[Dearshul]

No problem, I'll conjure something up! Are there any other people who'd like a banner in the same style as Hope and Alan's? I'll be making one for rabbit.

I'd love one for Bonnie if you have time to spare. :D

[Cassiopeia]

Are you looking for specific roles? Genders?

edit-

Also what year is this?

Yep, the ladies currently outnumber the guys, so I'd prefer a man, to keep it a bit balanced :) And the year is indeed 1949. For reference, all the relevant info can be found in the OP of both the OOC topic and the IC topic. You can find all the contestants and the links to their forms there; you can read up a bit on the different types and perhaps conjure up a personality that might suit the group - or terribly conflict, of course, for drama purposes.

@Dearshul here it is! :)

Ok, the map has made it very helpful to figure out where each room is, and sure I would like one for Justin if you have time.

[Cassiopeia]

Is it okay if I use a picture instead of a drawing for the banner, for style-purposes? Could you perhaps find a picture that you like?

[Squeaky91]

Yeah that's fine. Once I find a pic I'll send it to ya. I think I may have one that I'll send later tonight.

[Cassiopeia]

@Squeaky91 great! :)

@Dearshul; I put up another post; it's fine to drag Hope along to the kitchen if you like. If you doubt about anything, feel free to send me a PM to do a co-post ^^

[Dearshul]

You've got it. Thanks! And Bonnie looks fantastic! Thank you so much!

[ｒａｂｂｉｔ]

Hey Cass! I had a question - on the second floor there's what's labeled as a "wrapping room" and all I can picture is a woman's crafts room - what exactly is that room supposed to be or contain? Can you clear that up for me?

[Mr.Cynic]

I can do a man.

[ｒａｂｂｉｔ]

... Justin's about to get himself slapped. http://33.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9gcveIckR1qzckow.gif

[Squeaky91]

He is not a nice person. Maybe they should be roommates, that would be fun.

[The Texan Queen]

I'd like a banner too please!!! :D

[Dearshul]

I'm sure that literal dragging was not what you had in mind, Cass, but... Well...

[Cassiopeia]

@rabbit a wrapping room is just and silly as it sounds; it's a room entirely dedicated to wrapping gifts. Apparently they had so many gifts to give in the olden days it needed its own room. I thought it would be a fun additiom to the manor ;p I remember the wrapping room im Chateau Versailles wast just some chairs, sofas and a table, but it's now of course a museum and no actual wrapping tools were visible. I can imagine there being some scissord around and vintage paper on rolls or racks; otherwise its just similar to a lounge of some sort.

@Dearshul haha thats okay! I'll try to find some time to post again today or tonight.

[Sy23]

Well, most places had a drawing room. Imagine, a room just set aside to draw!!!

[ｒａｂｂｉｔ]

He is not a nice person. Maybe they should be roommates, that would be fun.

That really ought to be something included in his personality, don'tcha think? Or at least the OOC comments? Lol And actually, yes, I was thinking of her storming off into a room and finding one bed taken and mindlessly taking the other in her fluster.

That's pretty much what I was thinking! Awesome!

[Squeaky91]

I figured if someone was rude to him, he can act like a dick. I let him be slap cause I feel like he earned that one. I forgot to put that he is American in his bio so I'll add that and add he is quick to anger.

[ｒａｂｂｉｔ]

Squeaky, she said "Scottish island infested with boorish men" not "Scottish boorish men" http://38.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9rao27k151qdlkyg.gif so that comment about he being american is kind of... offhand?

And if he's American, when you also failed to elaborate on how he heard about the advertisement in the local papers in the first place...

[Squeaky91]

That why I said "something about" to show he wasn't paying attention. The reson he is here I kinda wanna keep a secret, I'll tell Cassiopeia in a pm of they want, but to the rest of y'all I wanna stay quiet about it.

[Cassiopeia]

Hey guys, just a heads up; I'm facing a lot of deadlines this weekend so I'm a tad slow to respond to everything IC, OOC as well als PMs. Next week is definitely better, but I'll get back at everything asap (k)

[ｒａｂｂｉｔ]

I look forward to the upcoming posts!

[Cassiopeia]

Hi all, here I am again. Sorry for the bit of radiosilence on my part; on top of the deadlines I was already facing, I'm currently facing a divorce, so my mind's in a bit of a different place right now. I just wanted to let you all know that please DO continue posting, because I really enjoy reading up on the RP and can definitely use a bit of distraction!

I myself am unsure when I'll be able to post again though, mainly because of the silly practical reason I won't be able to use my computer after I walk out and stay at with my family for the time being. It might be I have access to a computer in a couple of days, it might be longer. I just really don't know right now.

With that said, I wanted to just let you know how to continue on without me for now, without me disrupting the flow; Alan's inside his room nice and quiet on his own, fiddling with his machinery, so he's good to wait out the night until I return. Hope's now standing in the hallway, planning to cook some dinner with Bonnie; it's fine if you control Hope a little bit like an NPC for the time being; just have her passively cook up something or send her to bed with a headache, or I don't know. Don't do anything weird or out of character, of course, but she's fine to be a passive character for now ;P

For the rest it's free game, there's no need to wait around on GM posts; the ONLY thing to keep in mind, is that the basement is ABSOLUTELY off limits; rest assured that no character will be physically able to break down the doors for now.

That's all for now... please rest assured that I will be back ASAP and have no intentions whatsoever of quitting or blowing the whole thing off, so please just carry on like nothing happened <3

[Squeaky91]

Roger roger, good luck with everything and see you when you get back.

(Hello everyone! I'm new here but hopefully my experiences with writing and roleplaying with my friend will help me catch on quick)

This form is to certify that Johnathon Mark will inhabit*Black*Creek*Manor, Brùn, for 7 days. The contestant will share the prize of £30.000 (thirty-thousand pounds) among any and all contestants who remain on the premises for 7 days.

Sex:*(M)/F
Age: 20
Occupation: None

Personality:*Obsessive, sadistic, gambler, uses his velvety voice and good looks to his advantage, a surprisingly good singer (may bellow out a tune at random), his few weaknesses are his love for chocolate and crippling fear of owls.
Bio:*Johnathon lived in an abusive household until he ran away at the age of 16. He spent the rest of his days begging and singing for his supper. However, one day he was so hungry, he killed and ate a lamb from a rich man. The rich man, being so greedy and not caring about poor Johnathon, he chased him down then threw him into the sea. Everyone thought him dead, but Johnathon stowed away on a ship to Scotland. What’s a poor, supposedly dead, man supposed to do? Mayhap’s Johnathon’s luck will turn around with this contest.
Appearance:*http://images-cdn.moviepilot.com/image/upload/c_limit,h_432,t_mp_quality,w_768/macabre-mementos-8-insanely-creepy-souvenirs-serial-killers-kept-to-remember-their-victims-311155.jpg
Comments:*Real name: Thomas Taggert. (currently using the alias of a deadman, and is four years older than he says, perhaps a newspaper with a picture might blow his cover?)
Real bio: Johnathon was raised in a poor, but caring household in the US. Due to him being sick for most of his childhood, he rarely worked a day in his life, focusing on getting others to do his bidding rather than doing it himself. Unfortunately, this made him become very entitled, enough for his eldest brother to eventually kick him out at the age of 16. Since then, he sang, gambled and stole his way through life, until getting caught in an affair with an affluent and prominent woman. In order to escape the vengeful husband, Richard Black, he set fire to the house, killing the man’s wife and children. Johnathon soon stowed away on a ship to Scotland. However, Richard is using his money for all it’s worth to track down Johnathon, and bring him back—dead or alive. Johnathon figures that this is only shot to get enough money to escape from the man he wronged. He will do anything to win the contest—even if he has to kill again. Will Johnathon make it out of the manor alive, or will karma get to him first?
(If there is anything that I need to change or any suggestions for a newcomer I would be very grateful)

The contestant is expected to arrive at Brùnswick Port where they will be provided with transportation to*Black*Creek*Manor.

By signing this form, the contestant agrees that*Black*Creek*Manor*and the family of McChonnigh is not liable in the incident of injuries or fatalities.

Signed,
Johnathon Mark

(By the way, I have been thinking and have decided to change my characters sexuality to bisexual rather than homosexual. So she'll feel attracted to both sexes, only with a preference of the female agenda :) )

[The Texan Queen]

I'll probably get a post up tonight :) my friends are in town visiting so I've been pretty busy

[ｒａｂｂｉｔ]

In the future, when some rapid character interaction is going on, please consider messaging the person you intend to interact with and working on a post together that one of you can post so we don't come back to a whole page and two people's short, back and forth posts! This is called co-oping a post and is highly encouraged! Thanks!

Also, Cas, take your time! We look forward to your return.

[The Texan Queen]

So I woke up sick today. I'll get a post up when I can. Sorry y'all.

[Dearshul]

Oh, Cass! I'm sorry. That sounds like a really hard spot to be in. No worries, take the time you need.

[The Texan Queen]

My heart goes out to you, Cass, I can only imagine how difficult of a time this is for you.

I posted. It's short and horrible, but it's the best I could do since I feel like I got smashed by a truck.

[Sy23]

Thinking of you, Cass. Hang in there. And remember you have friends...

[N a m i n e_600]

Just letting everyone know that I won't be active very much at all these next two weeks as I'm currently in the process of moving and internet isn't available until the 13th of April. Hopefully the RP won't move too quickly without me (:
My character is Kateryna, I will try and come online as often as I can.

[ｒａｂｂｉｔ]

Someone please tell me that someone cleared it with Cass that there are now "mysterious symbols" on the floor and that wasn't just a random whimsical addition?

Otherwise, that might mess with her plot...

[Squeaky91]

Not that I know of, I was just going with what was given to me.

This form is to certify that Jack Amsterdam will inhabit Black Creek Manor, Brùn, for 7 days. The contestant will share the prize of £30.000 (thirty-thousand pounds) among any and all contestants who remain on the premises for 7 days.

Sex: M
Age: 26
Occupation: N/A (Gambler)

Personality: Laid back, clever. I like to take chances and to run when those chances turn afoul. Unless stayin in can get me more dough in the long run.
Bio: I'm a failure. Ask anybody. I'm a scumbag, a slob, good for nothin failure. My Pa would take it up a notch and say I'm also a criminal too. But that's not really all there is too me. Ask a nobody.. and I'm the worst card player to go up against. I'm a risk taker. Bluffers hate dealing with me on the table. Honest folk? Well they don't know if I'm bluffing or truthing. Sure. I lose almost as often as I win. But that's the game no? Gambling your luck. I get by with cards, especially when my family tries to play. Oh boy. Never crossed anybody more then my Uncle.

Coming here to Scotland? Visiting old family. Old friends. When I saw this ad in the paper I knew there was a catch. Just seven days in a house? Had to be a catch. Even I can stay in one place for a week. But you know what? It sounds risky. Sounds like a gamble. And I like taking chances.

Appearance: Generally I just wear a collared shirt, a jacket, and slacks. When I go out I don a trench coat. For more important occasions I break out the suit. I have six ties. All striped. Brown hair, brown eyes. Comb my hair every morning.

Comments: Jack is currently running from debt collectors. He keeps a Colt handy in his jacket in case they catch up.

To the applicans; sorry for not yet getting back at you, I'm hoping to establish an answer by the end of this week!

Hey y'all!!

I am so sorry for disappearing for awhile!! I had two friends that were moving last week and I am the only one with a truck, so of course I was roped into helping! Life has settled back down, I'm no longer sick or helping people move lol. I have a few RP's to catch up on but I WILL have a post soon. I'm making my way through posting and reading tonight but the latest I'll have a post up will be Wednesday :)

[ｒａｂｂｉｔ]

I should have a post up soon, but it'll probably be short. I'm exhausted lately and wouldn't mind holding out for a GM post for this game, either.

I'm still around though!

[The Texan Queen]

That's actually a good idea. I don't want to post anything too far out of what Cass has in mind for the movement of the RP.

[Alanoth]

Is that first post up to date? I mean is there still spots available?

[Dearshul]

I'm really sorry, but I'm going to have to drop out of this RP (reasons in link below). Feel free to use Bonnie however you like, Cass! I hope things get easier for you. <3

This form is to certify that Jason Vorhes will inhabit Black Creek Manor, Brùn, for 7 days. The contestant will share the prize of £30.000 (thirty-thousand pounds) among any and all contestants who remain on the premises for 7 days.

Sex: (M)/F (please circle the relevant option)
Age: 23
Occupation: Law Student

Personality: A studious young man, who finds great joy in observing the details of any work of art he sees, any novel he reads, any piece of music he hears, and every characteristic of the people he meets. Is very much glad to be taking a break from law school, and hopes that winning this little competition will help finance his schooling. Often tries to mediate between others even when he has not been asked to.
Bio: Jason Vorhes was the son of poor carpenter from Bavaria and a middle-class woman in London who met by chance on a train through Eastern Europe. They were assigned to the same car and began talking. By the end of the week long trip they had fallen madly in love, and immediately rushed back to Bavaria to inform his family. They were ecstatic that their son had finally found love after years of bachelorhood, and gave their blessing though they could not afford a proper dowry. The Anglo-Saxon woman found her own family less than appreciative of the union they proposed, but respected their daughter's decision as she was an adult. It also helped that they could appreciate that Mr. Vorhes was a hard worker, with a dedicated profession that would never run out of work. Instead of a dowry, they purchased a shop for them which included an upstairs bedroom, and encouraged Mr. Vorhes to take up his profession there. The couple accepted, and were married a week later. Their son was born less than a year after the wedding, but was plagued for the first five years of his life with many illnesses. His parents were both devout, and prayed night and day for their son to be cured of his afflictions. Fate seemed to twist their wish and desire for the bitter, as the night that Jason was miraculously declared cured of his ailments, that his parents were killed in a freak carriage accident. Jason was raised by his grandparents, who worked hard to make up the tragedies of the boy's young life as best they could. He was found with an admirable talent for schoolwork, particularly in writing and reading, and was noted as a prodigious peacemaker amongst his class mates. When he reached 18 years, his grandparents enrolled him in college, which he graduated from four years later. In the past year he has worked hard in a Scottish law school, but student loans have kept him from enjoying the experience even as he enjoyed and thrived on the material. With his bar exam on the line, he enrolled in the advertised contest of wills immediately at Black Creek Manor in Brunswick.

Sex: (M)/F (please circle the relevant option)
Age:18
Occupation:College Student

Personality: I never had been the strong one nor the attractive one. Being a smartass and all, yet I’m pursuing for more knowledge. I only dear my older sister whom we became separated due to some “psychopathic” occurrence. Aside from that, I use people in different ways, resulting a win-win situation, but more win to me. My curiousness may be my one and only weakness yet satisfaction brought it back.

Bio: Tsuno lived with his family when he was 8. His family formed a father, a mother, and her precious older sister named Hana Tasukashi. Unfortunately, his parents were massacred by someone. They were separated by adoption, while Tsuno spend 8 years with his non-biological parents only to die by accident. The wealth transferred to him and spent his day alone in his deceased parents house.

2 more years later, Tsuno read in a local newspaper regarding 30,000 pounds reward for inhabiting Black Creek Manor. He decided to research it in boredom, but soon it interest him for a while so he decided to join.

Though it wasn’t for the money. It may be related to him, to both of his parents death, and his long-lost dearest older sister.

Appearance: 5 inches black haired man who wore his usual clothes of silky white shirt. He also wore a thin leather coat and black pants that keeps him warm at night. He had a two different eye colors: black on the left, and yellow on the right. Not a muscular nor a wimpy one, but he had a well-nutritious body that keeps him healthy.

Comments: He only loves his older sister. He believed that she is somehow connected to the Manor and doesn’t care at other people surrounding him. He would just pretend to care and be a kind one. One thing he didn’t know that his sister will also be one of the applicants, maybe during his stay or maybe after his death? Who knows?
