Anything else I need?

Just one: Pretend like you're supposed to write all of that out in a single post in paragraph form following a similar structure as what everyone else submitted in this same thread... and then call that post your character sheet.

Name: Buck Kingston
Age: 24
Appearance: Dark-blond hair, dark blue eyes, white, cuts on his lower lip and cheeks.
Personality: Not a people person, not shy but independent. He doesn't have a lot of patiance. He doesn't exactly adore young children.
Background (Before the war): He is the half-brother of Ashley by father; his mom died in the war. He had a girlfriend named Charlette who also died in the war. They were having a ugly fight because she wanted a baby.
Profession: Buck was a former UFC fighter.

All clear?

You write like a caveman speaks. But alright, you're approved.

Gee, thanks.

When's this thing starting?

It's started. Go to the Games in Play Science Fiction section.

Is it to late to join?

Cool, I think its still open we are still on the first update and there is only eight players (I think)

Give me some time, Cool. I'm pretty much at capacity.

No problem. Just let me know when i can jump in.

Why no update?

The update is on the way. Fire Couch and I are both pretty busy but there will be an update this week for sure.

I apologize. We've both been smacked in the face with a brick called real-life.

Update, if not tonight; will come tomorrow night. Sorry for the delay. I hate to do that at all, let alone a brand new game.

Usually we're pretty good about hitting our deadlines. Striking out this week, I think I've only missed one before. Thanks for your patience.

Is it possible for me to still join in with a new character?

Probably not but I think later on we'll have space. By the way, welcome to the site

Originally I'd have said no, but we had a few sign up that disappeared. So yeah, create a character. Once approved you're welcome to start posting. (your character may not be one of the heads of the family or someone who resides outside of the bunker in play).

Same offer goes for Cool74, if he's still interested in joining.

Here's the character I was thinking of.

Deven
26 y/o
A playful, sarcastic guy who used to be a professional gamer before the bombs fell. He has a septum nose piercing and several video game and sci-fi inspired tattoos.

I'm still a little confused regarding the family stuff, so I'm not sure which one he should be a part of. Is there a list anywhere with who is in what family? If you want, you can just put me in whichever you think is best.

There are three families. Carnegie (the biggest, most in-charge family), the Kingstons and the Beckinghams. Kingstons and Beckinghams are not fans of one another.

Your call on which family you are a part of. You don't necessarily have to have the same last name, but are in some way related to one of the three. I don't see that it matters too much which family you choose, only that you remember in game which characters are potential allies and which are potentially rivals. (same last name = ally).

Once you pick that, we just need a little more info on your character and you can get started. What's he look like, for instance... And how's he doing mentally/emotionally since the blast. That should pretty much cover it and then you'll be good to go.

Deven Carnegie
Age: 26
Appearance: Fairly short, shaggy, black hair. Brown eyes. Average height and very thin. Septum nose piercing and eyebrow piercing. Tattoos all over right arm depict stars, planets, and space ships. Tattoos on left arm depict video game characters. He also has similar tattoos covering chest and back.
Personality: Funny, friendly, easy-going, creative. Regards life as a ride. He hates to see people sad and will do whatever he can think of to get smiles from them.
Background: Only child. Nephew of James and Eleanor Carnegie. Tyler's cousin. Deven's parents died in a private plane crash when he was 16, so he has lived mostly on his own as a trust fund kid. After parents died he buried himself in the fantasy worlds of video games. At 17 he became a professional gamer. Despite all of the money left to him, he has won millions of dollars in prizes from game tournaments. He insisted he only ever played for fun, and donated every prize he ever got to charity. His most prized possession is his Xbox 720 (which he brought with him into the bunker, of course). Before the bombs dropped, he had a girlfriend, Fiona, who he was planning to propose to. She was on a trip to Asia, though, when everything happened, and couldn't go into the bunker with him. He misses her deeply and still holds onto the hope that she survived somehow.

Very nice. It's like your first post started doing steroids and working out like crazy and ended up with the above polished character sheet.

Most definitely approved. If you haven't already done so, skim through the last two pages of the game and get to posting. Start yourself off in the common room, please.

Next update on the game is Tuesday.

Hasn't everyone posted??? Its been a bit more than a week...

The thread updates on Tuesdays. This information can be found at the top of the first post in the game-thread.
