The Loop Sign-up/OOC discussion

While I would love to start it up on February sixteenth. I think I’m going to wait a week to give me enough time to write up some scripted events for the first two chapters.

Name: Dr. Francis Agler

Age: 62

Gender: Male

Equipment/Tools/weapons: His main weapon is a cane-sword, but also carries various medical powders and syrups within is overcoat, some of which are actually poisons. Additionally, over his right hand, he wears a gauntlet made of brass and leather to hide a disfigured hand (his hand has limited mobility, but can still move somewhat). He wears a regular glove on his other hand. Dr. Agler also carries a golden pocket-watch.

Personality: Dr. Agler is a seemingly kind and jolly person. He is good with children, and is very well-mannered. However, much of his past is a mystery to his neighbors, and he may not be the upstanding citizen that people know him as. He has murdered at least two people.

Appearance: Physically, Dr. Agler is a big guy, being around 7 ft. and is quite strong. He has a long well groomed beard/moustache, and is one of the older citizens of Sikkerhed. His hair used to be a light brown/orange, but is now lined with grey. The middle of his beard is entirely grey. Dr. Agler wears a large darkly-colored coat and is often seen with a top hat. He normally wears a pair circular glasses that are incredibly reflective, which results in his eyes almost always beeing obscured. He also carries a gas mask that fits over his glasses for when he goes strolling in the steamy industrial zone.

Occupation/Job: Dr. Agler was a professional doctor and surgron. currently retired. Even after working for over 30 years, he still remembers most of his patients. Currently. Agler is a philanthropist and still occasionally treats patients, though he wealthy enough to not demand payment. His neighbors sometimes go to his house for advice or to let him babysit their kids while they’re away, as he has a great reputation.

If I add more details later, I’ll let you know.

-EDIT 1- @N01InParticular I’ve changed his name to Francis after realizing that there’s already a George in this game. I think Francis sounds better anyway.

Name: Austin Reimer

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Appearance: Austin is fairly tall, but extremely thin. He has some freckles and he has brown hair. His clothes are ragged and torn, as expected from someone who was homeless for so long

Backstory Austin was born on Sikkerhead, but only saw his parents a couple times, as they abandoned the sanctuary looking for signs of life days after his birth, leaving him behind on Sikkerhead. Because of this, Austin was an orphan and had a hard first couple years on the Sanctuary. He had nowhere to go, and barely had enough food to survive. He lived with a group of teens, who also didn’t have a home. He grew a bond with some on them, but sadly, one by one, they all left. There was a period of time where Austin was completely alone with almost no food, until one day when he was 7, a gracious woman took him in as her own. After that, Austin felt as he had finally found a home. He started to get an education, he had a caring caregiver, and he was content. The comfort didn’t last forever though. 7 years after he was taken in, the Woman who was taking care of him died of lung cancer. Austin was devastated of his second loss in his life, and from then on decided that he didn’t want anyone to hurt him again, and went back to life on the streets. He soon remembered why he was so happy to have the woman in the first place: to escape the awful place the streets were. Austin had two options: either go back to the dreaded orphanage, or find a place to work and get money. As you might have thought, Austin chose the latter. After two months, he eventually found a place to work. The pay wasn’t the greatest, but it kept him alive. The business he was working at went bankrupt a year after he started working there. Back to square one for Austin. He brainstormed an idea for what to do, and ended up with nothing except go back to the orphanage, which didn’t appeal to him, but it was his only option. Sadly, no one ever took him in. Eventually, he became an adult, left the orphanage, and found another, better paying job.

Personality: Austin is a person who is driven by loss and guilt. Even though he didn’t cause the losses in his life, he tells himself that it’s all his fault. Austin will rarely make friends with someone, for he feels that whenever he loves something, it gets taken away from him, and he doesn’t want any more pain. Even though he carries the pain of loss on his back at all times, he will keep trying to make things better.

Weapons and equipment: Austin doesn’t carry around much, except for his knife. He is extremely poor, so you can’t expect him to have much. He carry’s around a few dollars at the most, and also had a bag that he stores a photo of him and the woman who took him in.

Current Status Austin’s current home is an abandoned building. The police of his area know who he is, but not where he lives, because of the fact that he changes building frequently (though he has been in his current one for a long time, so the police might know that he’s there) and because of his parents. His life is a bit repetitive, even before the loop, so he didn’t notice it the first time, but the second one he did notice.

I typed this on mobile and my hands are freaking tired.

Great! I put a lot of effort into this, and I can’t wait for the RPG to start!

Yeah, it kind of does. Though it’s not Star Wars related, for once :stuck_out_tongue:

If you haven’t noticed I made a logo image

It looks pretty clean, but I feel like it would make more sense if the clock read 10:35.

Yeah, I plan to fix that. But it’s pretty late, so I’ll do it tomorrow.

I think I’m gonna add some stuff to my character, I’ve had time to flesh Ryan/Jade out a bit more, including the reason they have split personality disorder.

Everything invented after the 19th century doesn’t exist (with a few exceptions)

Alright but don’t change too much.

Me too actually. It’s been way too long since I’ve done any RP.

I’ve been in two RPGs for the last few months, but this is the first one that isn’t based off of Bionicle or Hero factory, so it’ll be a new and interesting experience for me.

By the way, if we do ever update our characters, do we just update the original post or make a new one with any changes?

If you are a crime-fighter, it might make sense that you’d have heard of either my character or The Viscount? Probably in a negative sense, too. Not sure how that would work out.

Just update your original post but @ me once you’ve done so.

Ok. I have made slight changes in terms of grammar and better phrasing to express my character, but I’ll ping you if I make anything that affects things that could affect the story, like motivation or personality.

Glad you’re looking forward to it.

It works.

I updated my character as well, but all I did was add a little more detail about his hair style :stuck_out_tongue:
