RE Chronicles, Repository, and Archive Repository The repository of chars. Not all my RPs will be using these chars, I submit these as sort of character archetypes more than anything. ModernCasual Roderick Palmer ModernCasual H - 6'2 Faceclaim - WIP Family - Linda ex wife Parents Bob and Emma deceased Age Late 30s, looks 20s Sex Male Orientation StraightHetero Dominant. Roderick is a mid level exec at a high tech company headquartered in Northern Virginia. He travels and works too much, which was a strain on his marriage though the fact was also they had become different people. They had tried counseling but he was never comfortable airing their differences to a third party, especially one who already had been on his wife's side for months before they ever met. The truth was they were simply not compatible anymore. She could not understand his drive to succeed, even though she loved all the luxuries it afforded them - the nice houses, cars, vacations. The divorce has cost him for awhile, but now that she had remarried it was better. He lives an active lifestyle - running, hiking, rock climbing, racquetball and tennis at the club when he can. He lives in a neighborhood with a lot of military families, and so is sort of an unofficial father figure to a lot of families whose parents are deployed overseas, but he tries to give a wide berth to the military wives , despite some of them showing an interest. His main vacations are small usually a few days before or after a conference in Vegas, or New Orleans, or Paris. Anywhere he can cut loose a bit and forget about work for a few days, and enjoy the company of the fairer sex. He would truly love to tour Italy with someone special . He is an alpha male though feels no special compulsion to prove himself constantly --------- Ridley Hamilton Draighien - Philanthropist, Investor, Researcher. Apparent Age 34 Real Age at least 400 years old H, 6'4 W 225 Face claim Heath Hudgins The latest scion of a family of multi-generational billionaires. . A 3rd degree black-belt and practitioner of Krav Maga and a dead shot with a gun, a champion fencer and dilettante race car driver, but most interested now in his research. He hides a dark secret, several in fact. He may be in fact the international crime lord known as Blackthorne. He may also do more than dabble in the dark mystical arts, calling upon powers that require payment in misery and human blood. NOTE - he is also a direct descendant of one of my Fantasy characters, Angus Draighien, which is quite a story in and of itself since Angus is from an entirely different world. The story of how his descendants came to our world us not usually part of any roleplay with Ridley, but the background is there and should be a cautionary note on why Ridley is not to be trusted, however broad his crocodile smile is -------- Gabriel Rembrandt Baptiste Art Dealer, ImportExport Age 39? H 6'1 W 190 lbs , Faceclaim David Gandy appraising blue eyes, black hair. Mercenary,ImportExport merchant Arms Dealer, Finder of Exotic Antiquities and Oddities, Smuggler, Counterfeiter. He's the man with what you need and can help you out, but make sure you have all your fingers after shaking his hand. A ladies man from an old New Orleans family, he is of indeterminate youthful age. He has friends on both side of the tracks, and keeps them by not turning on them, though a swindle now and again is fair game. He reasons it teaches his friends to stay on their toes, for which lesson they should be glad to pay him. He has a standing reservation for Thursday evenings at Commander's Palace year round, except during Mardi Gras where he finds the entire city nearly intolerably overrun with tourists. Each morning he can usually be found at Cafe Du Monde in Jackson Square, enjoying beignet, coffee, and people watching -------- Russel Rusty Barker Ex Marine Force Recon sniper now executive protector, mercenary. Age 32? H 6'1 W 190 190 lbs , Faceclaim Mark Wahlberg Back story to come. ------ Joey The Bug aka Giuseppe Dinardo, made man. H - 5'8 W - 160 Joey is a sort of weaselly backstabber who has a knack of inserting himself into situations where he can make a profit or do harm to others. He favors loud and or tacky suits and outfits. He likes to show of his jewels, guns and knives and stories where innocent people get capped in the knee. He finds them amusing, and those around him tend to pretend to agree. His personal motto is that honor is for suckers, and he often schemes how to make himself the Boss of All Bosses. That will likely never happen. ---- Salvatore Sal Giancanno aka The Landshark, Local Crime Boss, Face Claim - George Clooney Salvatore is the local Don at the head of most operations in Hot Springs. He is a dapper older man of refinement, though given to sudden bouts of violence and swearing. He loves his daughter Talia and his granddaughter Gabriella Gabby with all his heart. He is well liked but also respected and feared. ---- Lucas Wallace - Crime Lord Age 29, 6'2 Lucas came to power in his neighborhood gang at an early age, making them more profitable and managing to unite gangs from the entire area until they were ruling all of the east side. He was always ahead of the police and it was only through dumb luck of beng caught with drugs in his trunk because he got in an accident with a patrol car, and so was put into prison at age 19 His lawyers got him out after serving less than 3 years but Lucas had used his time inside wisely. He not only got an undergrad degree in 18 months, he also studied the law and once his conviction was overturned, took and passed the bar exam. Lucas became semi legit, but the thin veneer of civility and fair play hides a a corrupt and evil organization that traffics in everything and whose business is misery. This includes drugs, humans, weapons, basically anything of value. In a supernatural setting, he would also traffic in many darker things, but might be a key ally since his loyalty can be bought ------- The Brotherhood of War Dillon Stone, Brotherhood of War Dillion Stone was a Gulf war veteran , a hard core Ranger who later served as a Warrant Officer in Military Intelligence. He learned lot about men , guns, tactics, and the way the government worked. Later, put those skills to work as an Executive Protector, a bodyguard with a firm that serviced both politicaldiplomatic customers along with celebrities , and the occasional rich nobody. In that job he learned a lot about the way Law Enforcement operates and communicates, especially about the things they are blind to, the holes in their communications and surveillance , and other weaknesses. It was in that role that he decided that he was done helping others and it was about time he helped himself. Using some insider tips he picked up listening to execs he was guarding, he built up a nest egg and dropped out, taking to the road on his Harley. The first person he visited was his old friend Owen Madden, who everyone called Maddog. Maddog was a mercenary who did a lot of work with the Intel outfit that Stoney served. Maddog had shown Stone the ropes , introduced him to many people - including connections in the Afghan heroin trade, the arms business, and many other forms of illicit trade. The two of them hit the road, cruising the highways , along the way picking up other former comrades in arms, cementing the Mother Chapter of their Brotherhood of War. The core group DIllon Stone - President Maddog - VP Chuck Harper - Snake - Master at Arms Will Dawson - Captain ViolenceCap - Road Captain Roy Martin - Doc - Treasurer Eduardo Park - Curve Secretary. Pete Toblonski Toby - Bouncer ----- Boone Mason , Rancher, Silent partner of Dillon Stone Boone Mason's family basically own nearly everything worth anything in and around the town of Pine Junction. After he had used his influence to get a new ramp to the Interstate that came right into town, the town began to thrive, but that was only after he and his family had bought up everything for a song, as the town had been on the downturn since the 50s. He owns a large ranch outside of town, and is also the chairman of the company that runs the mine. The local mill and the factory were his of course, and the town library bore his family name. But every so often someone thinks they can defy him in his own territory and that's when he lets his mean side show. It's also rumored that there may be something supernatural at work, but since those things aren't real he obviously isn't some mythical creature
