Physical Description/Personality Description
Gerald is a huge man, with an unnaturally big torso. He’s the equivalent of a minotaur with a human head, or… Arnold Schwarzenegger in his Commando days, not much difference there. He is muscle incarnate. But what he has in physical strength, he lacks in intelligence. Brains are for zombies; he just bashes anything he thinks is bad.
He usually goes clad in jeans and a leather jacket over a white T-shirt, with a crew cut and dark glasses. Yes, even at night.

Gerald once was a supercop. He fought bad guys, and he won. He was awesome. When he got a bit older, he became a personal bodyguard. It is whispered that he was in the service of Mr Fantasi IV himself, but he can hardly remember. With the reign of Mr Fantasti V, and growing crime, Gerald returned to the police force and is ready to throw some more criminals around.

Katie is 5’7”, with flowing red hair and green eyes. She has a rather curvy frame, but stays fit due to her deep-seated childhood training. She dresses in a practical yet classy manner that usually includes plunging necklines.

Katie McDonnell grew up in Boston, under a roof of IRA sympathizers. At an early age, Katie’s parents put her through extensive training in handling firearms, making creative bombs, smuggling, torture methods and extortion. She picked up weapons with ease, and her parents encouraged her to hone her skills. Katie also got particular enjoyment out of blowing up mopeds.

In an effort to lead a more normal life, Katie picked up gambling. Cards were her game, although anything that she could bet on she enjoyed. She lavishly spent her money betting on horse races, hockey games, and illegal fighting matches. “Double or nothing,” was phrase often uttered out of her lips while out doing what she loved best. When she won, she won big. When her luck ran out, well, that was a problem. After a few run-ins with a couple of strong arms, Katie began repaying some of her debt by working freelance for Boston’s Finest: The Irish Mob. There she began to perfect her skills at destroying rival gangs in new and exciting ways. Plus, the pay was good.

Katie didn’t have the same zeal for her parents’ homeland. Wanting to get away from ‘misplaced patriotism’ speeches from her family, and seeking a place to gamble without legal recourse, she packed up and moved to Fantastico in 2019. She spent one year in complete betting bliss before Mr. Fantasti IV disappear. The little paradise she had found quickly degraded. At least the casinos are still open…

“Popsicle Percy”


Attributes
Physical - 3

Skill - 4
Awesome - 3

Skills:
Stealth
Thievery
Sabotage
Medicine

Specializations:
Medicine - Surgery
Medicine - Anesthesia
Stealth - Stalking
Sabotage - Poison
Thievery – pick locks
Stealth - disguise
Sabotage - Demolitions
Medicine - Anatomy

Advantages:
Off the Grid
-“Popsicle Percy”? Who?

Crazy Prepared
-You don’t get to be a notorious serial killer by NOT having backup plan after backup plan on ice, now, do you?

Kung Shui Sundae
-Percy is exceptionally adept at finding ways to torture, maim, and/or kill folks using only those items that might be found on an ice cream truck… with sprinkles

Disadvantages:
Oh... that just ain't right!

- Preternaturally weird and creepy... Works all right for the serial killer in him but not so much when it comes to dealing with normal folks... Even kids who buy ice cream off his truck get ooged out when they really look at the banana splits he makes and can't help but notice that they look like cadavers on autopsy tables... looking like the bastard lovechild of Steve Buscemi and Christopher Walken doesn't help, either...

Items and Equipment:
-Ice Cream (I scream?) Truck
-Razor edged ice cream scoop(s)
-Set of surgical/autopsy tools (scalpels, bone saws, etc)
- Xtreme Cream Ice Cream Dispenser
- "Good Humor" outfit
- Multi-tool
- simple watch

Physical Description/Personality Description

“Popsicle Percy” wasn’t too prolific a name in City Fantastico until Mr Fantasti IV disappeared… He was around, of course, trolling the city for his preferred victims (pedophiles, rapists, wife/child-beaters, people who talk in theaters, those that don’t clean up after their pets… that sort of thing ) and/or customers (somebody’s got to buy this ice cream or else there won’t be any room in the freezers for the bodies, after all)… Sure, a “Slaughter Sundae” would show up from time to time (seemingly at random) but, up until Fantasti IV went missing and Fantasti V took over, City Fantastico wasn’t quite crime-ridden enough for Percy to really build up the “clientele” he needed to get up there on the list with folks like “Zodiac” or Charlie Manson or “The Sundae of Sam” (not that Percy ever compared himself to losers like that). That lack of notoriety served him pretty well, though – kept him off the radar, so to speak, and gave him the time he needed to really perfect his craft (and his banana splits) – and, by the time things “went south” for City Fantastico as a whole and crime made a roaring comeback, Percy was more than ready to jump into the murky limelight and it wasn’t long until Percy’s body count started climbing and the name “Bomb Pop” took on a more literal designation ...


Musical Interlude Dedicate one to the sinners...
Now summertime's here bub, need somethin' to get you killed
Ah, now summertime's here bub, need somethin' to get you killed
Better look out now though, Percy’s got somethin' for you
Tell ya what it is
I'm your ice cream man, fear me when I'm passin' by
Oh my, my, I'm your ice cream man, fear me when I'm passin' by
See now all my flavors are guaranteed to make you die
Hold on a second baby

I got bim bam banana pops, dixie cups
All flavors and pushups too

I'm your ice cream man, sinner, stop me when I'm passin' by
See now all my flavors are guaranteed to make you die
Hold on, one more

Well I'm usually passin' by just about eleven o'clock
Uh huh, I never stop
I'm usually passin' by just around eleven o'clock
And if ya' let me kill you one time, you'll become a pudding pop!

All right boys!

I got bim bam banana pops, dixie cups
All flavors and pushups too

I'm your ice cream man, fear me when I'm passin' by
See now all my flavors are guaranteed to make you die, yes
I'm your ice cream man, fear me when I'm passin' by
I'm your ice cream man, fear me when I'm passin' by
They say all my flavors are guaranteed to make you die
Ah one time

(Guitar Solo)

I'm your ice cream man, fear me when I'm passin' by
I'm your ice cream man, fear me when I'm passin' by
They say all my flavors are guaranteed to make you die

One time boys!
I'm your ice cream man
I'm your ice cream man
B-B-B-B-B-B-B-Baby!
Ah my my my
All my flavors are guaranteed......to make-uh-you-die
Ow!

Physical Description:
Vitali stands a lean 6'0”, at 170lbs. He has an athletic build from a relatively active lifestyle, although he possesses no great strength. Preparation for the fall of society has left him very fit, determined that he WILL survive it. His Ukrainian heritage gifted him with a roguish handsomeness, and he wears his dark hair mid-length, swept back behind his ears. He has made it a habit to carry his survival gear on him at all times, and practice has allowed him to bear a phenomenal amount of it at once. He dresses for practicality more than fashion, and carries many of his items on-hand via a number of harnesses, holsters, and belts.

Background:
Born in Kherson, Ukraine, Vitali grew up in a large lower-class family. His older brothers were both members of the militia, and at an early age taught him to accurately fire a rifle. Growing up, he spent much time outside, and enjoyed crafting things with his hands, primarily forts and the like. Civil situations were on the decline, and when he was thirteen, a series of suicide bombings destroyed much of his block. Remarkably, the snow fort he had constructed survived with little harm, while his house was annihilated. Much of his family died in the blast, and with his two surviving sisters, he moved to America to flee the social problems in his home.

The next ten years were spent in the gutter of Hartford, himself and his sisters working hard to try to pull together something of a normal life. Claiming refugee status allowed Vitali to attend school, where he excelled mentally. As the years went on, he found a particular obsession in zombie movies, literature, and video games, to the point where he began preparing himself for such an apocalypse. Dedicating himself to the cause became all-consuming, and rapidly put him out of work. Seeking a better life for his remaining family, the three used their savings to move to Fantastico in 2017, where they were able to secure a decent apartment and establish something of a home.

When Mr. Fantasti IV vanished and all went to hell, Vitali discovered his place in life. Using his improvised engineering talents to turn their apartment into a bomb shelter, Vitali, now 24, lives a life that is almost what he envisioned it would be. Gritty, tough, survival of the fittest in an urban wasteland. Minus the zombies. For now. But even without them, the city did need heroes. People needed saving, because every survivor would count in the long run when the dead finally DO rise up and swarm the earth.

Mr. Fantasti V - The current CEO of Fantastico (formerly Fantasti Co.) and head of the executive board. Known for being merely a shadow of the businessman his father was.

Born into a broken down household in inner-city Detroit in the early 90's, Darius Garnet grew up knowing nothing other than street gangs and violence. From a young age, his restless nature and natural charisma attracted disaffected youths from the area, and his “crew” already had arrest warrants with their names on it before his 16th birthday. After a brutal bank robbery left him facing multiple murder charges and most of his friends dead, the then 20 year old Darius fled the city, eventually arriving in Manhattan around 2012.

After Fantastico's purchase and subsequent isolation of the island, Darius initially attempted to return to his gangland roots. Fantastico's private security forces proved more effective than the beaten down police force of Detroit however, and Darius's first attempt a big score (the robbery of one of Fantastico's many banking institutions) left him in a violent shootout before being dragged into incarceration.

Video of the shootout quickly went viral, and the public became somewhat enamoured with Darius, who had demonstrated considerable athleticism and talent during his attempt to escape the shootout, including breaking a three man tackle before finally spear tackling a security team leader. Never one to let an opportunity pass him by, Mr. Fantasti IV approached Darius before he set to be exiled from the city and offered him a choice. Renounce his criminal life and become the centrepiece for Fantasti's personal football team in the City Fantastico Football League. Lured by the promise of lucrative contracts, Darius quickly accepted.

Brought into the Fantastico Westside Supa-Flys as a fast rushing quarterback, Darius established himself as a star in the steroid-fueled, no holds barred enviroment. A three time MVP and league champion, Darius was rolling in cash, most of which he re-invested in Fantastico's science division, who used their increased funding to develop new more powerful steroids. After winning the 2020 league championship (by an astounding 218 – 6) and signing a multiple album deal following his multi-platinum gangster rap debut the world seemed to be Garnet's oyster.

When the city collapsed following Mr. Fantasti's disappearance, Darius's supply of steroids quickly dried up. By now long addicted to the powerful rush they provided, Darius turned to anything he could find to try to recreate it. His legion of fans from his years in the league provided him an excellent recruitment base, and soon Darius had reverted to his previous behaviours, though the method had changed. Now instead of banks, Darius's crew raided pharmacies and laboratories, getting their hands on any drug they could find in order to develop new and more powerful concoctions.

As the riots died down, Darius's gang of heavily juiced gang-bangers wasted no time in securing his power base in Westside, his old football stomping grounds. His vast stockpiles of narcotics and prescription medications lent him a lot of clout in the now lawless streets, and word spread of his gang's ability to get the hook-up for nearly anything anyone required. Seemingly being supplied from some outside source, Darius's stockpile far outstripped any of his competitors, and by 2023 Darius Garnet was the only name in narcotics in the city. From his safehouse in Westside, Darius had built a criminal empire that rivalled the power of Fantastico itself.

Oohyeah

For those of you that are paying attention, you might notice that a game thread is up. There is one last part of the intro to be posted up before you can post, and you might notice that none of you have been mentioned yet. This will be double rectified tonight.

In the meantime, let me know what you think...that is a lot of words.

Good sweet horse jesus on a pogo stick, LAST PART OF THE INTRO IS UP.

Alright lads (and lass), now is time for the posting. Feel free to backpost if you'd like, and Ive left your position slightly ambiguous so you can talk amongst yourselves and whatnot before heading out.

Also, my brain hurts.

Double also, do remember to use this thread to drop discussion like it is hot. Im not sure what that means.

lmao x????

I know I'm only on the reserve list and that I'm 3rd on it so grugg will need to exterminate and replace almost all of you in the original group before I get a chance, but I just want to say that “Popsicle Percy” survives long enough for me to do some RP with him...

I mean HOW ON EARTH DID YOU COME UP WITH THAT?!?!?!?!

He is a GENIUS of a character and I think I laughed out loud 4 or 5 times just reading the character through.

to “Popsicle Percy”

EDIT: Downside it that I'm having trouble coming up with an original character as all the characters in this game a so good and are close to concepts I was playing with

:D

Thanks, Loki... Percy was kind of a trick, really... a little trickier to get together than I had imagined originally, actually but will be loads of fun to play, I think.

Speaking of playing... niiiice posts, everyone... I'll endeavor to get a postsicle of my own tacked on to the thread very soon... had intended to have done so already but got waylaid by a monster headache and case of he oogies. Need to tack something on to CWWLLO and then Percy's up... let's hope he lives up to creepifying expectations and the standard set by everyone else, hmmm?

A Moment Of Learning

Dropping some knowledge for those characters that would have it. Knowledge rolls + circumstance, commencing!

Gerald Downhouser is familiar with Westside from his days on the force following the general collapse of society. It was known as a hotspot of violent gang activity as well as being a hub for the majority of illegal drug movement through the city.

Danyael Greyson has in the past heard many references to being "Done up Westside style", generally in the context of a husband attempting to kick his ass. He generally assumes this is a bad thing.

Popsicle Percy and Kathryn McDonnell, have minimal knowledge of goings on it Westside, but both know of at least one person who they've met who previously was from the area and was unpleasant.

Virago thinks West side is two words and that it would be a cool place for a story.

Yay!

knowledge

Is it safe to assume that Percy and I can remember/create said unpleasent character, or did you have specific personalities/people in mind?

Make him up if you'd like, but like I said, he/she didn't give you any information about Westside, was merely from the area post-riots and was a bit of an ass.

yup

That's what I figured. No real info about the area, but mention "I'm from the Westside," in passing kind of thing. Plus that whole nasty character by nature thing. *winks*
