The Down Boys OOC

a topic in Interest Checks, a part of the RPG forum.

Thinking about starting a roleplay, but don't have the idea completely finished? Post it here, not in the main OOC forum!

The Down Boys OOC

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby True_Grave on Wed Nov 26, 2008 5:43 pm

It's time to introduce my newest idea:

The Down Boys


Five teenage boys have recently left their respective gangs based in Chicago, IL. These five warriors will meet in their travels and form the gang known as the Down Boys. Each of the five has one skill that makes them invaluable to the gang (fighting doesn't count.) The Down Boys will do whatever it takes to survive the day, which includes stealing from both people and businesses. In addition, they will tag their name across the town, so that all may know who is not to be messed with. Some gangs will not take kindly to these loose-cannon antics, and will step up in hopes of ending them. Will the Down Boys overcome everything and become street legends? Or will they just become more corpses on the streets of Chicago?


So, that's the plot. I need five guys to play the Down Boys, and they all have to have a skill. My character takes one place, as leader, so that leaves four spots in the gang open. As time goes on, I will add people to the gang. I need a CS from you if you wish to join. By the way, if you followed that lnk I posted back before I revealed this board, you'll find my inspiration for this roleplay.

My character:

Name: Ryan Carr
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 200 lbs.
Age: 17
Hair color: above his spine and brown in color.
Eye color: Blue as the clear sky.
Blood Type: AB Positive
Body Type: His main goal is survival and his body is built for that. He has a slender build with great muscle, including toned arms and powerful legs. His torso is also well-muscled, with stomach and sternum muscle hard enough to take several punches. He is also quick enough to deliver several in rapid succesion. He can dish it out as much as he can take it.
Personality: Since survival is his main focus, he's not very kind. You strike at him, he'll strike back, and viciously. He is cool enough to judge an opponent before fighting, and ruthless enough to beat him with whatever means he requires.
Weapons and equipment: A lock-picking set, two knives in sheaths around his ankles, a 9mm in his pocket, and an Uzi in a sling he wears under his clothes.
Skill: He is an expert lock-picker who can break even the toughest codes,. He's building up knowledge on how to crack sophisticated, technological codes.
Back-story: Revealed via story.


That's all you need, but feel free to add in anything you see fit. I hope to get many people joining up.

Name- John "Tink" Zagar
Age- 18
Height 5'7"
Weight 160lbs
Hair Color/Style - Blound with his hair cut into a military crew
Eye color - A light shade of brown, almost like pale sand.
Body details - John has a short slim frame, with sickly looking bags under his eyes. His skin possesses what we call a computer tan, which is a lightish blue. Like his body his muscles are slim and compact, giveing him a slighty longer reach then most people. He speaks with a faint French accent.
Personality- John is by all means, a loner child. He is very shy of others and his social skills are needing serouis work on. Like his nick name suggests John is rarely seen not tinkering with some object or another. Where he fails in the social department he make up for in Genuis with eletronic and physical problems, He understands things like locks and wires better then the others on his team, and is usually helping them out by hacking, lockpicking, or createing a new toy for their amusement.
Gear - Tink keeps a backpack with his personal laptop in it at all times, a 9mm pistol, bits of metel, plastic, or wires, a toolbelt, and a sliver chain which he plays with to beat the boredom.

Re: The Grand Unveiling of True Grave's New Idea

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby Eventide on Sun Dec 14, 2008 11:09 am

Name: Texas Furl
Age: 19
Blood Type: O-
Hair color: Dirty blonde; rather messy and shaggy because he doesn’t care to groom himself too often.
Eye color: A dark gray often mistaken for blue.
Body Type: Although his lazy demeanor doesn’t seem formidable, especially in his wrinkly, loose-fitting clothing, Texas built his tanned body to last. He frequently goes to the gym to work out, resulting in muscles built for strength and endurance in a fight. He’s not too quick on his feet, but he would rather stand his ground than avoid combat anyway. Scars litter his chest and abdomen as a testament to this near suicidal steadfastness.
Personality: Texas nearly always has a laid-back, friendly, approachable demeanor. He loves just being around people, especially his buddies, who he remains loyal to through thick or thin. If you befriend this guy, it’s going to be for life. Yet oftentimes Texas’s friendly facade seems to be just that—suffering from depression since puberty, a bottle of antidepressants always close at hand as proof, Texas needs to be friendly in order to survive. Spells of acute depression are frequent, resulting in a complete turn of Texas’s personality—he becomes withdrawn, morose, quiet and unsociable. He is also a hopeless womanizer who feels that one day he will find the love of his life and get married—just not today.
Weapons and equipment: He prefers using weapons as a last resort, but he always keeps his silver Smith & Wesson revolver hidden away near him, along with a pocket knife and brass knuckles.
Skill: Texas can make up a story in his head, or an alibi, or just a sheer lie, and make it seem completely natural. His good poker face and an ability to change his personality on the spot further strengthens his fictional tales.

Your character is accepted, Eventide. Your spot is reserved, Chulance, just make the character. If I can get into contact with Seloc, we'll be all set to go. If not, we'll need one more before the founding members have been established. I like the motley crew we've got going so far, though.

I am looking to join as someone that is not an original gang member. I know, I am not going to post my character until you have all the original gang members set up and everything. Though, I was wondering about the people that aren't originals. Do they start off in the gang or not?

At the start of the RP, the gang is not even formed yet. It forms eventually in the RP, then takes in members afterwards. The original five are just wandering vagabonds at the start of the RP.

The in-character thread will not be posted on this forum, no. I still need Chulance to make a character and I need one more person before we can start.

Name: Darian "Big Push" Clifford
Age: 24
Height: 6'2"
Weight:243+ lbs.
Hair: black, shaved
Eyes: brown
Body:Tall, broad, slightly cut. Darian is the typical Chi-Town thug. Tattoo'ed up with various art, the most notable are his GD (Gangster Disciples) tat's that cover his chest and the big 74 on his back.
Personality: Darian is a fairly calm individual due to the consistent use of pot. Overly aggressive, Darian will handle problems on any turf in the city, whoever disrespects his side than he will go see that person about their problems. Not one for scrapping it out with people, Darian would rather keep it simple, pull a pistol and leave you there bleeding. On the inside, under his rough exterior, Darian is haunted by his past, he rarely sleeps unless it is assissted by pills.
Equipment: Lighter, pack of smokes, .40 caliber Glock in his waistband and a matching Glock in his right boot.
Skill: Very good with firearms of all kinds and can make IEDs out of common house hold cleaners etc.
Back story: Revealed via story
