I suppose having so many tv doctors around it is easy to parallel Dr. Victor to Dr. Cox or House or even Pierce and Honeycutt from MASH. To be honest I worked in an emergency room for three years and I'm just taking bits and pieces from my ER docs whenever they had a rough horrid night. One doctor in particular... to be honest. She had the best ideals when it comes to patients and their care. I really just stuffed a New Hampshire Orthopedist for the arrogance into the mix for humor. The man was super cute red head but never opened his mouth to speak. He talked through his teeth and had a vile snicker. But Dr V is just an amalgam of experience, cinisicms, and apathy.

DKender That bit about rash decisions made me chuckle! And you gave me big pause when I saw your handle because one girl in my gaming group has a thing for Kenders. Welcome! ^_^

I was just being facetious , you can tell that a lot of thought has been put into your character. He's awesome, very amusing to read but I wouldn't want to meet him in real life.

@ Indea -- Hahaha! The guy you're bringing back is a character we cameo-ed from our game, Basil Pringle. (A LOLtastic random name we generated.) We can whip him up into a character you can talk to, he's an amusing fellow. We hadn't decided from whence he came, so he can certainly be from the cruise. @ dkender - sounds great so far! I put my stamp of approval on him. When you're set, go to our character profiles thread - horrorboys.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=rp&action=display&thread=15Make a post, seeing what other people are doing. Please feel free to modify or add, and include a photograph of someone you'd like him to look like. (Or two, if you'd like a mix, just specify any differences- hair color, add glasses etc etc.) and we'll make you your very own avatar ala the other players. Just ask if you need any help or advice. I'm really curious to find out more about him, he seems similar to my example character Seth (who we'll meet one day,) but whether they'd be friends or rivals, who can say!

... all the Pringle Ladies, anyone? ∆§Indea§∆ - Hugs all around! ^_^ No worries. I realize I might have had a little too much work influencing my post. >.< Really crumby night and I totally didn't post at work because that would be "wrong."

@ Suyoi - I like that you're using your experience to flava this character, great work. That's the best way to do things, it gives you so much material. I'm always 'ripping off' things from my own life, and no one knows, muahah. A secret -- the bit with all the cars is kind of ripped off of a scene from a novel I wrote (that still needs an ending, argh), and I once witnessed a bizarre motorcycle accident from a distance, viewing from the side much like your character. Sorry your night was crumby-- I hope the next installment of RP will cheer you. PS - My secret workaround for RPing/writing at work was to send it in an email to myself, TOTES WORK RELATED GUYS.

PPS that only works if you don't work for some fascist regime that monitors email. WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE AND HOW DO WE STOP THEM FOR GOOD?!

I thought the "Converse here!" thread would be used for random conversations without context that two or more characters could have at any time and location. Sort of like an online chat or something. Maybe not even canon until included in one of the other threads. (Like if a group of characters spend time sitting around on watch, or walking to another area of the city or something like that. Then some random conversation from that thread could be spliced in to show what they were talking about.) If the plot-relevant conversations have moved to the "Converse here!" thread, does that mean that the location-specific threads will only contain silent solo expeditions and recaps of character activities? I figure most of the RP will consist of characters having conversations. At least until the zombies come marching in. Then there will be a lot of running and/or fighting. Maybe so much that we could splice in random conversation shouted back and forth: tab "So you work at Microsoft?" Patti asked before she blew out the brains of another zombie. "Are people still hounding you about Vista?" tab "Yeah," Ben replied as he fended off a rotting arm crawling on the floor. "They do. I try to divert their attention with lawyer jokes." tab "Because lawyers are always the worst!" they both shouted together right before the pipe bomb exploded in the background. High five! It'll be like a real action movie!

Suyoi no worries @kelly that's okay Micah may or may not have a few of my qualities. One that may surprise is that I am actually quite weirdly accident prone myself. One such incident was once I was cutting up corn and didn't realise a power cord was underneath so I cut into that also and blew a hole in the knife and silver all over my hands. I was fine hahaha.

@ Gillsing - yes, I think we might be doing a little too much RP in the converse here thread, let's get those bumped back to the location threads when we can, so I can throw more spookies at ya! I love your action movie dialog idea. Ooh in fact, how about this... >>QUESTION: do you guys mind if I monkey around with your forum posts after the fact? I could try to rearrange and repost them in a sensible order once you're all happy with them. You could just post here or msg me if you want a change. Might help to make the action more coherent. OR! I could actually do that all in the recap thread. Once we're done with some current scene, I could turn it into the canon thread, ala Gillsing's email RP group. Thoughts? Alternative could be I leave you guys to do the modifying, and you can re-jimmy (Christopher word) the events. (I.e copypasting someone else's response to what you asked in a previous thread, they or I delete the duplicate.) I'm cool with either, but I don't want to be an iron-fisted dictator! @ dkender- no problem, I am learning everything still too, heh. Whew! That guy is sexy. We'll get on your avatar, and character origin asap! Quick question -- any opinions on why he'd be in the area of the mall on a Wednesday evening? @ Indea- OMG well it's good you were fine! I was finding it amazing Micah was alive, given that parkour and accident-magnet are not a very healthy combo. Maybe he's more of the 'adorable' accident type, as opposed to the 'I fell while walking down some stairs and ripped my face off on some soft carpet' type.

@ Kelly - Look-wise, Alex is inspired by a certain lovely Rudy Youngblood ehehe. He'll be at the mall to grab a birthday gift for his best friend, Emiliano (Alex doesn't know what to buy yet, but hopes that the sheer amount of things in the mall will be inspiring), and while he's there, he also intends to get a cookie for himself from Mrs. Field's. I'd be totally a-ok with posts being re-ordered, too.
@ Suyoi - OHO! You figured my handle out. Tasslehoff Burrfoot (kender from the Dragonlance books) was my childhood role model.

Feel free on my account to repost the ramblings into the main thread on my account. I think that make sense to rearrange, it might keep the timeline more coherent but as our grand GM it's up to you and everyone else. Haha I think he might be , more prone to almost killing/ horrible scarring than actually.
