OOC: I'm a fan of the works of Neil Gaiman, especially the Sandman comics and American Gods and anybody who read those basically knows what I'm expecting. For anybody else here is a rough layout:
The setting is the modern world exactly as it is but underneath that all is a hidden truth. A different (true?) reality where gods walk the earth in disguise and concepts like dream or destiny take human form. If you don't know Gaimans work that's not a problem, just follow a basic idea and always remember that the other "real" world out there still exists, so nothing to strange or powerfull.
I would like a PM from anybody who wants to join. For now I would like one or two female writers to get my character started but if you have a great idea for a male character feel free to PM me as well.
My character:
Steven Hartman
6'1"
dark brown hair, medium length
grey eyes
normal build

She had left him.
That was the only thought that could enter his mind, even thought he had desperately tried to numb it with an amount of whiskey that normally would have dropped him two hours ago. Unfortunately he felt extraordinarily sober which he couldn't understand.
She had left him.
Not because he had hit her. Oh, he had hit her, once, when he had come home from work, stressed out and she had screamed at him for getting the carpet dirty she had just cleaned. But he had apologized right away and she as well for screaming at him, but that was not the reason she had left him.
She had left him because he had lost his job. It hadn't been such a great job but they had been dependent on it since her job as a waitress wasn't getting them enough to pay for the apartment they had moved to. She had left him, kicked him out and now he didn't know what to do anymore. In just 4 hours his life had gone to hell.
Didn't she love him?
Apparently not and he couldn't understand how he could have misjudged her so. He had been sure that he had loved her and she loved him but as sson as she heard that he was fired she had thrown him out, with all his scarce belongings.
Now he sat here, still in the suite he normally wore for work, the top button of his shirt open and the tie loosened a bit. His dark brown hair unruly on his head and the first signs of stubbles showing (how could that be, he had shaved not so long ago).
For the last hour he had tried to get drunk in a bar he never had visited before. If he thought about it this bar had to be pretty close to their..her place, he corrected himself and today was the first time he had seen it.
His life was over. This was something he realized as soon as she had thrown the suitcase with his stuff after him. He had no place to stay, no money (why didn't he take his credit cards with him?) and no reason to continue living.
It had all been so easy. He hard worked to earn the money and she had managed everything for him. His life had been good, but now? Perhaps he should have paid more attention what had happened to his money, but it had been so easy....
He ordered another whiskey and hoped that this glass full of amber liquid would finally bring him one step closer to oblivion. He needed to be really drunk to do what he had planed to do.
He wanted to kill himself to stop this misery called life.
