I'm Marblehead Johnson, and I approve this character.

The great thing about this game is it lends itself so well to characters popping up all the time.

Yo, Marble, I said I was joining today, so I ask, can I still join?
If so, Im being Carlos Peña, a police officer from Chile, dead during a fight against a couple of drug-dealers. Hes from 1992, carries his uniform (green, typical chilean police uniform), the little stick cops use to hit people, his gun (a revolver) and just the bullets already loaded.

Hey, it's good to see you, Monoxx. Glad you immigrated here too.

Though, I must say, I find it interesting that many people here insist on have characters with weapons. It's not like they're necessary.

Monoxx · 02-28-2006, 01:49 PM

Everyone had a weapon, I just wanted to be popular.
Anyway, at least I didnt give myself 20 rounds of ammo or anything.

Marblehead Johnson · 02-28-2006, 02:05 PM

A Chilean cop and a Cuban drug lord... oh, you just WANT to make this interesting, don't you?!?!?

It's approved.

Read the post in the Roleplaying forum, and post when you feel comfortable.

My character doesn't have a weapon. He's a scholar, for goodness sake!

In fact, the only "combat" skill he has is the fact that he keeps himself fit, a required skill for participating in digs.

One thing I'm not exactly clear on, or missed and am opening myself for a title of douchemonger general, when we died in the real world do we immediately pop into Evercity, in which case my character is something like a 40 year veteran of his second life, or can there be 'lag', as in my character died in the 70's and just now entered the world.

I assumed it to be the immediate-popping-theorum, supported by the victims of Mao all coming in at the same time, but the lag-theory would explain why such a wide diverse of time periods could be 'new' together.

Another thing the lag-law would introduce is the concept of inter-dimensional time distortion (technobabble bullshit mostly but...), allowing for people from the future to pop into being before (?) they've died...

Of course I'm just rambling, but I think if the lag-postulation and time distortion is allowed I'd keep the same death as planned but set it in the future with a slight personality change.

Yet another immigrant here, I'll wait for your word on future characters before I make a decision.

Well, the rules are complex... people are sort of scattered around, so two Americans dying side-by-side might show up centuries and miles apart in the Evercity. However, sometimes social circumstances allow for a whole group to arrive at roughly the same time, IE the Chairman Mao massacres. Really, it's whatever I want for dramatic and literary purpose.

Don't read too much into it... all of you, from the early Chinese era to 2005 to 2500, if you wanted, will all be arriving at the same 'time' in the Evercity to facilitate this game.

Ad for new characters... feel free to make up a character and post it here, and I'll bring you in slowly as the game gets going, and we need more players. This game is very well-designed to large, changing player-groups.
