Fantastic! This fellow surely worked closely with Sophie (Danielle's character) as well as August (Indea's guy, the director) in trying to make a coherent and good looking production.
So... we're going to do a a bit more work before we go further with this. Do any of you new guys have any questions about how we do around here, or anything you'd like? I like that your characters seem like a sensible fit for the scene that has been set, rather than being ridiculous stuff like one-eyed assassins or half-dragons. I think they'll work out great.

Yay!!! Welcome Danielle and Sebastian! I'm super stoked to have you guys play, your characters sound wonderful. If you'd like, you can brainstorm some more here, maybe post some pictures of what you'd like your character to look like. I'm working on character avatars on the side, and we'll get a character profiles section up soon.
Would our regulars mind if we repost some of your info/pictures into this thread?

@kelly= Yep! Go ahead. The older mini-pitch for Ru no longer applies, after talking to Indea et al so the one above is the newest info.

Am I too late to the party?
My lovely lady character: Name: Trileon, Otherwise known as Leo, 17 Makeup Artist. Dropped out of highschool at 15 to pursue the arts, but soon gave up on paints and brushes for eyeliner and blush. Not trained in this profession, but is able to make semi-decent transformations to someones face via practice. She has a 'fuck you' attitude, but isn't afraid to show her loving and caring side. Often wears dark clothing and studded accessories.

Thanks, everyone! I've never RPG'd, aside from video games, so I might be little slower than everyone else, haha. I'm assuming the story progression is similar to LARPing? Christopher: Thanks for the info. I like this world- now with 100% less repression! Kristi: I'm going to school for forensic entomology, so I love Trevor already. Bug ♥ for lyfe!

@trinny: Welcome! danielle: Yayy another person with love for animals I love. ⦿v⦿ ♥ Sebastian is right on with his description. Alternately Pen and paper/chat board RPGs are sort of like Choose Your Own Adventure books, except you write your own dialog. Also, a lot of video games now are basically Choose Your Own Adventure books interspersed with gameplay like "Silent Hill" and "Prototype". Sebastian: Hi, there! Somewhere on the SUBPAR - GENERAL board, buried under pages of cats, bats, adorable dolls, beautiful dresses, and actual RPG related talk I believe there is a partial map of the Kingfisher Universe. Not found it yet, though.

Yayy, hi everyone! I'm gonna do an info dump so everyone step back. @ Danielle- Sebastian is right, it's kinda like a group story, but not far off from LARPing. Christopher and I will control the NPCs, and you guys have your own characters. So for instance, you could initiate a conversation with, say, Aubrey, and we will respond for him. You can say what you do, or how you react to something earlier. We'll do some pre-playing in a little while and you can watch and get the hang of it. ;D @ Sebastian, yes indeed! Here is a page with all the maps and probably more info than you need about the world. www.borfy.com/Kingfisher/World.htmlI'll let C do some explaining for me, so see his post after me. ****** Now, I'm going to repost character info that was done on another thread, so you guys can get a feel for the other PCs. When everything's sorted out, we'll make avatars for you, based on pictures and descriptions of your characters. Ru/ August/ Deek's character all met at an underground film fest in That Guy's basement(You know the one: www.borfy.com/Kingfisher/Pages/11-28-10.html ). Deek's character was there because she loves the underground films, Ru was following because she's a bro. August saw Ru as the perfect villain, and cast Deek's as Sister/friend/understudy //. // Here are my ideas for character appearance. I was thinkin Babette Valentine (totally a stage name, but she uses it for everything) is a contemporary fusion of lya de putti and louise brooks in these pictures. What with sad eyes, bangs, and short angled bob type hairstyle. Additional physical descriptions include: height = 5' 7'', build=thin/willowy build colors=light skin (dramatic makeup), black hair, brown eyes. other=Cis-woman Ru: Currently male presenting Additional physical descriptions include: height = 5' 8'', build=Thin, angular. colors=light skin(Not helped by heavy make-up), black hair(dyed, natural color is blond), blue eyes. Currently method-acting: Aka pretending to be an evil vampire even when not on film, Ru is very excited about the prospect of actually having a big part in a REAL MOVIE. Currently wearing heavy gothic make-up and trying to act very mysterious and sinister. Subpar crew, feel free to amend or add more info here! We'll add some more official types profiles now, but you guys talk amongst yaselves for the moment.

Oh yes, and for the first time ever, an example of a KFRP avatar! Meet Chloë Blue, one of the stars of Lychgate. Can you guys let me know if that looks weird, I'm trying to do transparent backgrounds and I don't know if it will look messed up in other browsers. :x Also, these might change as we work out sizes and such.

Trinity - Cool! So now we have some old school HorrorBoys - DeeK, Jara, Indea, and Kristi - plus Danielle, Sebastian, & Trinity... Danielle- 100% less? It definitely has less, but a more perfect world might be as difficult to write as a world of woe. We prefer to just think of it as being mostly like the real world, but less depressing. ;D Sebastian- Your description of forum-based play is mostly correct, but we might have a heavier hand as Game Masters on this site than many others. I think the more fully self-moderated play is especially good when there's no major over-arching plot, but as this one will follow The Kingfisher's plot (somewhat), there may be some guidance from us. Hopefully nothing too restrictive for anyone's tastes. For world questions, we have the about section on The Kingfisher here www.borfy.com/Kingfisher/About.html and the world section here www.borfy.com/Kingfisher/World.html ... It's about the size of the Earth but with different shapes to the continents & different countries. Glenland is in a similar place geographically to England IRL, but it's larger, farther away, and the closest country is Grauland (similar to Germany) - not the equivalent of France. Also, there's no equivalent area to the New World / the Americas ... I could go on, but maybe it's better to just answer specific questions. The folklore of the world is similar to that of IRL Earth, so characters may have heard of various monsters, but most will not know they exist and what they're like. But yes, there are some other things lurking in the KFiverse. We'll just have to wait and see what comes up!

@ Indea/Brett- Thanks! Phew I'm glad, I was trying to match the html color and some madness transpires between moving one to the other so it's just much easier to make them transparent.
