Path of Righteousness, World of Chaos OOC Thread

IC Thread

Hear ye hear ye, now soliciting players for an original storyline that an old girlfriend and I made a while back.

The current setting that the players will start in is the world as we know it. The chosen city or venue will be somewhere in America, wherever the first participant chooses to place their character.

(I'm not Amero-centric here so much as going with the geography I'm familiar with)

Character types are essentially the people you know and meet in the real world, with two caveats:

First, each player character must have some sort of strong moral code. It doesn't have to be conventional morality in the ten commandments sense, but they have to have a firm belief in some form of right and wrong.

Secondly, no military commando-types or Wolverine-esque super badasses. Characters can have violent tendencies and abilities, but this is more of a noir-style setting, with protagonists who can bleed, hurt, and die if the story calls for it. Supersoldiers don't fit the setting, and also they bore the hell out of me.

The story is somewhat derived from Christian mythos, though heavily distorted. If that sort of thing bothers you, best if you avert your eyes from these particular threads.

I'm posting the prologue to the story in the IC thread. Please check in here with your character concepts, or via PM, and we'll get the show rolling.

Cathal O'Doherty

Name: Cathal O'Doherty
Age: 29
height: 6'3"
weight:230
hair color:brown
eye color: green
History: The son of Irish immigrants, Cathal even at a young age was a walking stereotype, boisterous, quick-tempered and tough. His father was abusive and his mother became a serious alcoholic. Kicked out of 7 schools by age 16, he dropped out shortly after his mothers death by alcohol poisoning and ran away from his father, getting a job on the docks. He bought a motorcycle and came to the attention of John O'Brien, president of the Red Branch MC, an outlaw MC comprised primarily of irish americans and named after the famous Red Branch Knights of Irish mythology. John became a father figure to the then 17 year old Cathal, and he patched in at age 18. He rose quickly in the organization, taking their philosophy of honor to heart and becoming a warrior for the MC.

Most excellent.

Alright, we've got another recruit coming in a bit, and after a brief discussion I'm going with Irishman's nifty suggestion that we make our initial setting a fictional city. As punishment for his good deeds, he'll be working on the details of said city, which will be a mid-size metropolis located somewhere in New England.

In the meantime, we've still got openings here for two to three more players.
