Roll to Dodge a Songshift! [Turn 1: No.]
« on: December 20, 2012, 07:10:20 pm »

Within the multiverse, there are many worlds. Whether alternate dimensions or simply different locales, these worlds can be accessed by the savvy, but their purposes in doing so vary.

What binds them together, however, is opportunity. These worldshifters seek out important events, opportunities, and occurrences, hoping to accomplish whatever aims they might have at these pivotal junctions. Some seek to further justice or help the meek, others covet preying upon the innocent or bringing the world to ruin. And of course, many simply seek to line their own pockets, experience new things, or gather fascinating stories.

You are one of these. To access the Multiverse, you utilize patterns called Songs to seek out new opportunities. But beware, for Songs rarely grant exactly what their possessor intended...

Personality: Cocky and suave.

Song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eZ_TgE3x_A (It's a twenty-two minute song, just listen to a little bit of it to get the general feel.)

Well, you do have a busy life, what with keeping tabs on wild, rough-and-tumble forum members while sorting out the drama between your twenty two inner lesbians.
Your drunk posts continue to baffle me.

Name: Gore Mandala
Appearance/personality/bio: Gore Mandala is a heavy gamer. Literally, and in both ways. He weights at least appropriately obscene amount of metric units and his hairline is starting to recede. He argues on the Internet about video games he's never played. He wishes that, one day, he would star in a video game of his own. It would be called "Drop Til You Stop," starring a slim, sexy lad named More Gandala who collects donuts while keeping his VELOCITY METER low as he falls to his tasty, creme-filled death.

I guess I've got a waitlist spot then

Name: 'Doc' Olin
Appearance: A man with an average build, dark brown eyes, and black hair styled with so much grease that the fumes are a legitimate health hazard. Fortunately, he's a doctor... or at least he thinks that he is.
Personality: Very gentlemanly, unless medicine is involved, in which case he becomes so focused on his work that there could be a nuclear war going on outside without him noticing.
Bio (Optional): I'll get this later

Name: Bruce Thomson
Appearance: Early Teens, mildly over weight, greasy brown hair reaching eyes and tucked behind ears, male, slightly uncomfortable standing shifts his weight from side to side, wears glasses that itch his nose, wearing a black t-shirt and brown jeans.
Personality: Over thinks things, try's to avoid a fight unless he knows their will be no repercussions, finds it hard to work in a team and to talk with others.
Bio (Optional): Born in Scotland Bruce was always a bit off, he had trouble socialising and quickly grew out of child like games, his lack of friends gave him a lack of confidence that he still has today.

It wasn't until he went to academy and was referred to a child psychologist that he learned of his autism, it was revealed that he had Asperger's syndrome, a mild form of autism that usually negated social skills, while increasing skill learnage speed, but instead of feeling down trodden from these events he was enlightened, he had an excuse for his lack of social graces, and he found learning enjoyable rather than a chore, unfortunately he was still forgetful which wasn't helpful for his grades, and then we have now, a journey, he knows not where he shall turn up, but it seems like a good idea.

Turn 0: A Song of Ominous Castles


[1] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOjQkIb162g

Name: Derm
Appearance: Homeless man with crazed blue eyes (One glass), white beard, tattered green jacket, white t-shirt, black pants, and a sentiant cloud of pure rank smell.
Personality: Murder Hobo.
Sentient cloud of OhgodwhattheAUGHmynose: The worst smell you ever smelled. Everyone downwind for thirty blocks will give a hearty go at passing out.
Bio (Optional): Murderous, possibly magical, Hobo.
You sneer a bit at the village around you, hunched over in your ragged fur tunic and clutching your axe. Filthy mudhuggers, you oughta murder 'em all...

That ominous castle in the distance looks respectable, at least.

Name: Jacke Nilon
Appearance:A young man, with brown long brown hair and blue-grey eyes
Personality: A kind man, who often helps people in need. Often is Humming a song of some sort.
You glance around with concern at the village around you, comparing your fine cloth tunic with the villagers' ragged hides and admiring the quality of your saber. It was probably never a wealthy place, but things seem different now. The villagers seem fearful and downtrodden, the buildings look shoddy from neglect or abuse rather than poor construction, and that ominous castle in the distance seems to loom over everything.

Name: Reynolds
Appearance: Tall and thin, with dark brown hair. Wears a suit and tie to most occasions.
Personality: Cocky and suave.
Bio (Optional): Born in a place where access to the multi-verse was largely done via ambient music, travel would be largely slower due to the generally slow pace of the music but it was largely considered safer while the music would build up until quickly sending the user to its destination.
You give a raised eyebrow at the village around you, brushing a bit of dust from your fine blue cloth tunic and admiring your elegant rapier. You're sure villages are never pleasant, but this seems excessive even for that. The ominous castle in the distance isn't helping things, either.

Name: Jack Daniel
Appearance: Bearded(or similar), leather bike jacket, green eyes, brown hair.
Personality: Aggressive boozehound.
Bio (Optional): Say what you will about his parents, they at least knew how their children would turn out.
You give an appraising glare at the village around you, adjusting your fur tunic and giant axe. Whoa, these punks are cowed- most avoid your gaze and hurry on their way when they notice you, like they're used to people like you rolling in and giving them what for. Not sure how easy it'll be to find a drink with these cowards, though...

Name: Gore Mandala
Appearance/personality/bio: Gore Mandala is a heavy gamer. Literally, and in both ways. He weights at least appropriately obscene amount of metric units and his hairline is starting to recede. He argues on the Internet about video games he's never played. He wishes that, one day, he would star in a video game of his own. It would be called "Drop Til You Stop," starring a slim, sexy lad named More Gandala who collects donuts while keeping his VELOCITY METER low as he falls to his tasty, creme-filled death.
You shudder in horror at the unwashed hovels around you, adjusting your extravagent purple silk tunic and hefting your golden servant-beating rod. These worthless peons probably have nothing to offer you; that ominous castle in the distance might, though.

Name: Lucas Gray
Appearance: A man in his early thirties, with straight, black hair and emerald eyes.
Personality: A rough, yet sometimes kind opportunist.
You glance around at the village around you, brushing dust off your black leather tunic and resting a hand on the pommel of your shortsword. This place has seen better days, you're pretty sure. You also wonder about that ominous castle in the distance.

Gore Mandala walks through the hovel. Disgusting filth. But it was not his job to stick his nose up: no, the poorer, the more desperate. And the more desperate, the more gullible. Before setting off to the tower, he looked around for anyone gullible enough to pawn off some "magic" pocket lint to.
