OOC thread for Bon Bon RP; character sheets etc

A thread for questions and answers about the ins and outs (and insandoutsandinandouts) of this fantasy jail world

My ambition for this RP (Hey, I'm a controlling bitch, you want to make something of it?) is that we can achieve a good quality of writing, that keeps a story flowing forward, post by post. I would like to keep character's motivations relatively hidden from the casual reader, describing them by their actions and dialogue and keeping internal scrutiny to a minimum. I'd like the onlooker to feel as if they were watching actions which they must puzzle out, and sometimes, duck the shrapnel from.

Therefore,

I'd like it if each participant would throw any character description onto a post here. I plan to keep coming back to edit, as Bon Bon become more complex. Or, delete the whole thread if the RP should fall asunder because of my insane demands, yanno

time is late summer- sweaty, lazy, horny days.
The setting is a nameless jail in a nameless place in America. The facilities are; the central yard, with buildings on three sides and a chainlink fence on the fourth. The high wall perimeter is about three hundred feet outside of this.
The buildings
the North building has; intake facilities, offices, living quarters for the bulls, the infirmary, commissary (If my terms are wrong or I'm missing anything, tell me, okay?
East building has cellblocks, shared spaces- library, main room, exercise etc
South building has industry, laundry, kitchens, whatever else becomes necessary


random thoughts

About sex in jail
The inmates never see women. We have "women" though- men who have been coerced into the role, or men who prefer that role in the first place.
Jail inmates are often very conservative. They want a "Wife" or "husband" and hold promiscuity in contempt, even though they are, in actuality as promiscuous as any other group of men would be.

Life in most jails does not revolve exclusively around sex, there are many matters of survival to think about. But, in this particular jail, sexual tension runs on the high side, because of the "capo" inmate- Bon Bon, a jail whore who has risen to the top of the pyramid of power.

Bon Bon's "girls" USE CONDOMS and will get the shit beat out of them if she finds out they didn't. This includes cocksucking on tricks. Sorry girls, find a way to make it hot.

Between partners, it's up to you.

SHIIVS

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia;
A shiv (from the Romany word chiv) is a slang term for a sharp or pointed implement used as an improvised knife-like weapon. The shiv is the favored weapon of inmates in prisons across the globe. It's famous for its versatility - a shiv can be anything from a glass shard with cloth wrapped around one end to form a handle, to a razorblade stuck in the end of a toothbrush, to a sharpened spoon.

in other words, they aren't very big. If you plan to keep it, it has to be small enough to smuggle on your person when you need it, and keep hidden safely. Nobody has anything big... (Okay, I heard that!)

more as I think of it...

reserved for q&a

Question- "What tense and POV do you prefer?"
Answer- "Personally, I'm writing in third person, present tense, I dunno why really... I don't care much which POV but- if can stand to- present tense would keep a smoother flow

Bon Bon character sheet
Bon Bon back story;

Okay- The original movie is called;
Before Night falls It's about a Cuban poet who was gay and persecuted by the Castro regime, He gets thrown in jail...
Rent it if you can find a copy, it's a sweet sad look at what some people went through...

Bon Bon, played by Depp, is just a quick cameo role, and he has a longer role later in the film. Bon Bon, the poet says, was "So beautiful and so glamorous, that when she walked by you thought you were living in a movie" And, she can smuggle unbelievable bulk in and out of prison... up her ass... so far in that the cavity searches couldn't find it. he says it takes him one thousand cigarettes, and her forty trips or something like that, to carry his manuscript out of prison.

So, obviously, OUR Bon Bon is not the same person any more! She's a Machiavelli in a short skirt. And she's totally ruthless. She's killed people, even while she's been inside.

So this is her character sheet.

Bon Bon is 35 years old, approximately.
She is beautiful, and glamorous, and pretty much a cold hearted survivor.
She is also, by this time, only in drag because it’s her job. It’s a 24 hour a day job. She relies on her charisma as a beautiful woman. At all times- she walks, talks, gestures, flirts as a bitch. Anything else would destroy her persona, the glamour that her fellow inmates expect from her.
But, as Joey discovered, she’s one hundred percent male under the fluffy clothes. Very strong- stronger than most of the weight lifters- from an intensive martial arts regime. (What one? Jeet kun Do, maybe? Something that promotes long muscles) She is seriously hung. Her fellow inmates have little problem with this dichotomy, speaking of “her firehose” without the least irony. Since in many ways this is the story of Joey’s voyage of discovery, he can be baffled by the contradiction, but the answer is- men are the only women these guys have. Some of them might not remember what pussy looks like!


Bon Bon was born Carlo ( last name? Maybe not necessary) and went in for murder. When asked, he says; “I killed him, I meant to kill him, I should have killed him sooner” but won’t say anything more than that.
He got made a bitch the day he went to jail, possibly as a teenager of 17 if we can get away with that. He got passed around for a year or so of misery, then a stronger man claimed him as wife. This relationship lasted until the man left- death or parole? And this first husband gave Carlo the bitch name “Candy”
Candy it was, until a Latin lover began calling her “Bon Bon” (Spanish for Candy) and that’s what stuck.
Bon Bon has gravitated to the powerful men, and acquired their territories. As they leave- through death if they don’t get paroled, she kept the details of each racket. First the hooch and pot, then the harder drugs. Then the “whores” Bon Bon can smuggle stuff in and out of the jail, she can provide the guards and workers with luxuries. Now, she simply rules the roost, and it’s lonely at the top.

Scar-
she saved his life, doctoring him when he suffered the attack that left him half bald, and now he is completely dependant on the pain-killers that she procures for him. That was one of her better moves, diminishing him from the almost-brilliant menace that he was, to a milder, stupider shadow of himself. Still violent, but to less effect.

hey, i would like to join up if that's alright.. I'm not exactly sure on the timeframe of this rp, but here's a preliminary char sheet plan

Name: Keiran
Age: just turned 19
Crime: hit-and-run, killing and injuring occupants of other vehicle

Keiran's been a bit shellshocked since being sentenced to jail for the next five years. He was a good student, had decent marks, went out with a couple girls (not at the same time, of course), and played in junior hockey, not the type to get in trouble with the law. He's always been a bit quiet, the ladies always described him as the 'strong, silent type'. His teammates found him a friendly guy, if a bit shy and timid with people, it certainly didn't show when he was on the ice.

He'd been coming home from a party celebrating their hockey team's latest win on a wet, rainy night. He had a few beers, and some smokes before leaving the party, didn't think much of it at the time since he'd never had any problems getting home. However, this night, he ran a stoplight and plowed into another car, killing a pregnant woman and severely injuring her husband.

Keiran pleaded guilty to the court, under the advice of his lawyer, and was given the reduced sentence of five years. Since, he's withdrawn more into himself and is quieter than ever. He doesn't know what to make of his new accomodations for the next few years.

Might be interested as well if you have a spot. Dont know who I'd be but Roxy's guy sounds like he might be my kinda guy.

Hi microwave, sure thing, join in if you like.
You will probably be made a bitch and work for joey, don't be surprised if joey doesn't like you, he will probably view you as competition, same age etc
Maybe he'll take his anger of just getting 'fucked' by Bon out on your pretty little ass, who knows?
So maybe jump in by showing up in the yard?

Microwave, unless you can get yourself squared with someone in a hurry, you're most likely to get raped. Even so, that doesn't always mean you're forever on the bottom.
maybe you can use your hockey skills to protect yourself?
If you want to start a sex scene with anyone, you can always PM them in advance to work out the rough outline of what happens.

Rough is fun. And youre a bitch. He may be quiet at times and booky but... :-D gimme a while, Ill come up with somethin. Just wanted to post my interest fore someone stole im.

Well, it's about time! now maybe I can get the bitch out of my cell, and out of my boyfriend.

LOL. Maybe. Well, here he is.

Jared
25
Blue Eyes
Reddish brown hair
240 lbs
6'0"
8 inches long when fully hard, 2.5 in diameter

Jared is usually quiet, enjoying a good book. Or has been to this point. He has been in for about a year and knows how things work, but he is still new. Having known he was bi for several years he has no problems with the "girls" or what he can get from them. His main squeeze is Roxy though. He likes her tough as nails second in command style. Theres is a fairly open relationship. He knows what she does and he doesnt mind. Hell, it gets him perks too as hes her favorite. He hasnt paid her much attention lately, trying to figure out a book he is translating. But that is about to change. He's almost done.

He's in for premeditated murder, probably a good 20 year sentence. He killed his father after torturing him for hours. It was revenge, pure and simple. For years his father had raped his sister, and very rarely, him. And the beatings. Those had been bad too. So he got his revenge. The clues eventually led to him and he confessed. So he wasput in jail, moved around a few times, doing a year here then a year there before they settled him here. He has always been a model inmate, never getting himself in trouble which gets him all the perks of the legal niceties, and gets the guard allowed but not official perks too.



Sound good?

hey, minor kinda thing, just about the name. my char's jumped in, name is Jaden, your char's name's Jared, not sure if it might get a little confusing? I could change my guy's name though, so it's not too big a deal

oh. Durh! lol. Fergot yours was Jaden. I should think its not be too bad. But...hm...up to you. You can change, I can, or we can see what happens. And try it as is

meh, no prob.. I can change his name. I was just thinking I should change it 'cause I use Jaden for about 3 other rp's, and I might confuse myself as well since this Jaden doesn't fit with the personality of the other 3 Jadens I have, lol

I'll change the name to Keiran.

You can always edit posts you've already made- and, I was wondering if you, Microwave, wanted to edit your first post. I was thinking- in the night, you might have heard Joey's hollering from down the hall...
What would your reaction be? would it turn you on, would it scare the crap out of you?

Sounds good to me! I wish womone wanted to be a guard... You could still be in a relationship with an inmate, it would add some interesting dynamics to a situation.

lol good point, I never really thought about adding that in.
I also noticed my post jumped ahead in time a bit.. i'll remove that, put in another post and do some cut-pasting later on, to keep with the current timeframe.

You bad, You bad!
NOW- I'm scared.
My suggestion would be- that nonce character, "Scar"'s, second in command. Scar is about immobilised with the oxycontin Bon Bon has him addicted to. It would make sense if his buddy figures out and takes Scar's place...
Or, a guard?

I know...give me an audition on your casting couch. See where you want me.

Joey Sullivan
19 years
10 years for armed robbery and manslaughter.

Joey plays with the 'big boys' on the outside, rules the playground which it is when compared to the concrete playground 'inside'.
During an armed robbery, Joey loses his composure when he thinks that the old woman that is getting the money out of the safe for him has tripped some sort of alarm.
H e strikes the woman repeatedly with the butt of his gun, killing her.
He is sentenced to 10 years.
Should have probably received a longer sentence but for some reason got lucky.
Enters the jail full of piss and vinegar but is soon reigned in by Bon Bon, who claims him as husband.
