Nice build, like the tattoo, and the boating skill.

Do you suppose polyphase sleeping is an OPH or merely a feature?

Okay, here's my first draft:

George Wakely's family never had much money, so every year when his brother bought him a ticket to the corporation raffle, George would argue that there were plenty of ways of spending that money with better expected utility. Needless to say, it surprised everyone this year when George's annual ticket proved to be the one that won an all-expenses-paid week-long vacation in Australia. It's been three days so far and George still hasn't fully accepted it.

Guys, these characters are awesome. I'm going to make the IC page, and all of you can tell me where you are on the resort. This will be very open-ended; if you say you're at the arcade, then the hotel has an arcade. We'll begin actual roleplay one week from now, on January 2nd. Please note that I am in the Eastern US time zone. I'm looking forward to playing with you guys.

A note on character interaction:
Realistically, most of your characters probably don't know eachother. The chef probably knows the security guy in the casino a little, as would guests who frequent the casino. Guests would recognize the chef as the party face. Otherwise, no one recognizes stuntmen, because the producers keep their faces off-screen, and Wakely came alone.

Also, feel free to be separate from eachother: I doubt a stuntman will get along with a rational IT guy.

Skullcrusher · 12-30-2013, 06:24 AM

Agreed about Stuntman....there is a small niche of Stuntmen that are recognizable by the zealot movie fans...Like me....Take Al Leong for example...a staple in 80's and 90's action movies....but I did not take reputation so he is one of the faceless stuntmen.

FYI if Wes is to jump how high is the 3rd floor? And how far would he have to jump out to reach the pool?

I've been a little busy to finish my character.... I though we weren't starting until after the new year?

He's rather small - not more than 5'3" on a good day, which today is likely not, and probably no more than a hundred pounds - and unassuming. His medium-brown complexion is probably genetic, but it might just be a really good tan; it's hard to tell. His hair is either dark brown, like his eyes, or black. Back in his room, his suitcase is sitting open next to his bed, revealing an assortment of dress shirts, t-shirts, slacks, and skirts that should probably be in the closet by now, but only a couple sport jackets have made it there. They're obviously not tailored or anything - George would be the first to admit that they're thrift store purchases - but they're presentable. Otherwise, his room is hardly touched. The bed has been slept in, but most things are unmoved and there's no sign of proper 'settling in', though he's been here three of his seven days. Notes: What do you think you know and why do you think you know it? If snow is white, I wish to believe that snow is white If snow is not white, I wish not to believe that snow is white Let me not become attached to beliefs I may not want In the infinite multiverse, all possible worlds are. Yet when I look back, I only see one line of them leading to now. What should be? What might be? What is moral? These questions are meaningless. All I can do is select the universe in which I want to find myself out of the ones possible from here, and do what I need to do to make it more likely that I will end up there. __________________ Characters Astrid 14/14HP, 3/10FP buffs Jorin 13/13, 9/10, 0/1 ER, 24/24, 3/6, 6/6, 6/6, 6/6 Rings, 6 days since last use of WT
