And because whoever he is suspicious of will also be at the meeting.

Makes sense. Maybe I'll get one of Nick's squad to stay behind as a sentry or something.

Joe will want everyone at the meeting. He'll have an announcement to make.

Nick's crew now work for Joe remember mate & he'll want security at the meeting.

Where are Jimmy and Nick while thrir conversation is going on? Are they still in the diner?

I cannot post until Elvis posts.

No, I said I can't find you and told Drifter to.

@Elvis: is jimmy's wife called Laura , my chr James is walking around Grayditch and i wanted him to say hello

Yeah dude, Laura.

@Surfer -- that'll teach me to pay attention to PMs, I added a post from Celeste with the character control you requested.

Clearly I'd fail as a real bar owner, haha.

Won't be on til later tonight...beautiful day,got stuff to take care of

hi there, im intrested in joining this rp, but ive only been skimming the posts wen i get a chance. i was just wondering if anyone could gave me a page or two recap plz, then i can make a character sheet. thanks

Ok, so, I'm interested. Not much goin' on in Mammoth other than my occasional post, and it is getting lonely. It a problem if someone be independent of faction?

Let's see....

Grayditch is a town that Mr.Moriarty in Megaton(the bar owner) was interested in.He turned it into a settlement,as a cover up for illegal slave trading.His illegitimate daughter,Celeste,runs the town diner.Joe Rennie,who owes Moriarty,is town security.A big brute fellow named Harold watches over Joe to make sure he doesn't escape.Lots of people came into town,and had various jobs.There are doctors,electricians,welders,farmers,etc.My character's name is Drifter,he handles the crops.Basically nobody knows about the slave trade thing except Joe,Harold,and I think Elvis's character Jimmy knows.Other than that,nobody knows.Basically nothing major has happened,just everybody getting acquainted.We will have a town dinner soon,and my character Drifter will witness slaves being hidden in the metro station.Then it will start to get fired up.I suggest posting your CS now,so you don't miss out on the action.

Skirt,if I missed anything major,feel free to correct me.I just gave him a minimalist rundown of whats going on.He'll have to meet everybody on his own.

Wow,4 new people,and we're already in the second thread.You guys try to get settled in quick,stuff will be popping off soon and it would help to know people.

The faction thing seemed like it would be important when we birthed the RP, but it may not be after all is said and done, haha. I would imagine that for most characters it is fairly arbitrary.

4bucks summed it up fairly well. If you have the time, I'd encourage you to read the threads simply because they're actually very well written, and all of the characters have quite unique and original backgrounds.

If this helps, here are the occupations that are filled:

• bar and diner owner/operator
  
• doctor
  
• electrician
  
• security
  
• general store
  
• arms dealer
  
• farmer
  
• robotic expert
  
• hippie old guy who grows...vegetables

Hey!Drifter is both farmer AND hippie old guy...I don't see anybody else farming,unless someone wants to help him,but I don't recall any fields near grayditch...

Anyway,You guys should really post up your character sheets soon,the town dinner is very close and we wouldn't want you to miss it.

@Wolfman: When you first enter town the faction really means "How much do you know?" If you put Moriarty right away like Joe, Jimmy or Celeste then you are in town through some scheme to make money for Moriarty or through some loyalty to Moriarty himself. If you put Grayditch, then you have come to town because you are looking for a home/work.

The factions will become more involved once the truth starts to come out and people decide to side with the corrupt characters or join up with the do-gooders who will no doubt try to stop them.

Is gun for hire, or Sherriff acceptable for occupation?

when is the dinner going start? as there is not much James can do until it does.

EDIT: i'm at the dinner aready

@Wolfman -- Kettle's char Joe is head of security, which is basically sheriff, but gun for hire is definitely a possibility.

@Lewis -- soon, soon, soon

CS

Name: Harlen Jake

Age: 57

six: Male

Look: http://img.timeinc.net/time/photoessays/2010/oscar_portfolio/jeff_bridges.jpg


Basic physical appearance and attributes: Big and tall, standing at 6' 1" weighing usually around 225. Wise Blue eyes, light brown hair with half of it being gray and slowly taking over. Age is slowly taking it's toll as time goes on. Still has a quick firing right arm and wrist. He can feel the arthritis getting worse in his neck and shoulder as age yanks hold. Wears blacks jeans, black pointed cowboy boots, black dress shirt with top two buttons undone, and black sports jacket over shirt, two leather holsters at hips, and a black rattan cowboy hat. Man of surprising strength, some could swear they've seen him push a thousand pounds, and throw a man across a field. No surprise his heavy in life has lead to some of the arthiritis he has now. He still has the surprising strength, which has earned him the nickname "The Bull" in some circles. Other than his firing arm, he's not too fast in terms of speed in his legs, lost that with age as well. Can handle himself well in a fist fight, or bar brawl.


Weapons and armour: Uses the equivalent of sequoia ranger revolver, secondary weapon is a .44 Magnum ("the most powerful handgun in the world"), wears reinforced leather under clothing. Has a combat knife sheathed on lower chest under jacket.

Personality: Wise, gentle soul, doesn't take kindly if given any crap, he won't kill ya but he will let the person knows how he fills. Stands up for what's right, puts the wrong in their place. Isn't a fool and can tell when his leg is being pulled.

Occupation: Bounty Hunter

Faction: Greyditch

Backstory: Grew up in the ruins of Arlington. His father was a scavenger like so many in that area. His mother took care of him mainly. At the age of 16 he met a man by the name of Jameson, a bounty hunter he played by his own rules. At the permission of Harlen's parents, Jameson took him under his wing. He built on what Harlen's mother taught him of right and wrong. Showed Harlen how to pop a cap from fifty feet away with one eye closed. Eventually, Harlen would become a bounty hunter himself, and one day he received a bounty for his old mentor, he couldn't do it. Time came to and the contractor confronted him and gave him dirt over it. Harlen had his reason and tried to explain, but the contractor wouldn't have none of it and pulled a gun on young Jake at the time. Needless to say the contractor wasn't bothering Jake anymore. Harlen Jake has had a few loves in life. Strangely, and sadly enough they would all pass of sickness, or of being shot by someone hunting Jake. He comes to Greyditch possibly for retirement, or maybe it's because he's on a job.

Geez. That makes romance fangirl sad.

CS looks good to me. I'm approving it! Kettle will have to approve, too

Almighty, and sorry, had to add another downside, and this it fit him well.

Love the Chr Wolfman. I can see him and Jesse getting along, which is probably bad news for Joe.

Accepted mate. :thumbsup:

EDIT: Lewis, get along to the diner and start to mingle mate. Everyone is beginning to congregate there now.

Persephone will win James "drinking challege " and get the "shooty- gun " :celebrate:

edit: everyone else is welcome to have a go... but Persephone will win :foodndrink:

Pawnee would have tried, but then Cris would have had to pump his stomach :dead:
