Abby's icon
Abby

HellOOOOOOoooo Nurse! ... except she said I probably shouldn't say that. She's hilarious, though. Met her at the gym. She seems pretty cool. ... and she's actually a nurse, it's not just a joke.

Alison's icon
Alison

I know two things about Alison. One, she's a redhead. And two ... heh. Heheheheheheh. Those freckles are everywhere. Otherwise, besides the fact that she's merciless, she seems like a really cool lady.

Cassidy's icon
Cassidy

I have met her exactly twice. And exactly twice she has been preoccupied with her phone. Well, the first time, she at least set the phone down to talk to me. Second time, however? All phone. I wonder what she does that makes that phone so darn important? Maybe we'll find out someday.

Easton's icon
Easton

We served together in Afghanistan. Battle brothers. He got out before me. When I told him I got hurt, he suggested I settle down here in Gray Harbor. Everyone I meet keeps telling me what a dubious decision that was, though, so ... we'll see.

Everett's icon
Everett

This guy seems like a jerk. Definitely a lunkhead. Saw him at the gym. He was totally impressed with his own biceps. Probably a really nice guy once you get to know him. ... not.

Hazel's icon
Hazel

Well, I suppose all's well that ends. I really liked being around this girl. I really think she's got a sweetheart buried in there somewhere. However, she gets uncomfortable when I make jokes about the fact that I can't walk, which is like ... half of what I make jokes about. And I'm certainly not gonna stop because she's uncomfortable that I can't walk. Apparently, it was bad enough that she'd rather not be around me. And, that's her choice. I hope she finds someone who doesn't make her uncomfortable, someday.

Kai's icon
Kai

Oh, hey, so she IS a girl! Not that I have a problem with how anybody wants to present themselves, I just wasn't sure. But then there was The Greatest Night of My Life, and now I'm sure.

Love's icon
Love

Love seems to be a pretty cool lady from the little we've actually interacted. She was at Park's birthday party and was a pretty good time. She sure has a lot of tattoos! But from the way everyone else reacted to her, she's gotta be a pretty decent person. Maybe next time we meet, we'll actually be able to talk without having to shout over the music.

Viktor's icon
Viktor

Cool dude. Seems a little dour, but with all the girls that were fans of him, he couldn't be a bad dude. Seemed to have Love's best interest in mind, so he cares about others. If I bump into Love more, I'll probably bump into him more.

Zoiya's icon
Zoiya

Wow, she is /really/ pretty. AND she can dance. If I was able to correctly read between the lines, she must dance at the strip club. Which, of course, isn't a judgment call in any way. Just the only other thing I know about her. Well, that, and she's also got a lot of tattoos.

Alexander's icon
Alexander

Somebody get this guy a trench coat and a fedora. Talk about suspicious! But he doesn't seem like he's a BAD guy.

Erin's icon
Erin

About as good of a reason to join a gym as any other I can think of. ... but she drives a Maserati! So far out of my league she might as well be a different species. Really nice, though!

Harper's icon
Harper

For a librarian, she sure is talkative! If I knew that librarians could be like HER, maybe I woulda started going to the library a lot sooner. She's really cool, though. And seems genuinely interested in people. It was cool getting to meet her. If there's nothing else to do, at least I know I can go to the library and hang out.

Haven's icon
Haven

So, this elf knight girl showed up in the Dream where Easton and I fought a dragon. After Easton disappeared, she's the one who led me out. I told her that if she were real and I found her outside of the dream, I'd have to buy her a drink. Well, imagine my surprise when several months later, I bump into her in real life at a bus stop. Maybe she'd be interested in going hunting in the veil with me and Easton ....

Lyric's icon
Lyric

... whelp! Definitely took things to another level on The Greatest Night Of My Life. Except, now I'm all conflicted about it. Which is stupid. I'm a guy, and I had the opportunity of a lifetime. And instead of just going with it, I punted. Why am I such an idiot when it comes to her? Why does she affect me like this? What's wrong with me? I need to figure this ish out on the double.

Park's icon
Park

"Wow." I think that's really the only way to sum up the person that is Park. First day I meet her, she wants to go out with me. And it was cool, she's hilarious and really a sweetheart. And then she invites me to her birthday party and it turns into The Greatest Night of My Life. Aaaaand ... /yeah/. I have no idea about this one. I can't read her at ALL. I think the only thing that doesn't make me want to handle her with a ten foot pole is the fact that she's so nice. We'll see. Either way, I think knowing her is going to be hilarious.

System Information

Wounded Warrior: Tyrone was wounded in combat in Afghanistan. That comes with all kinds of issues.

Once A Marine: It takes a certain type of individual to make it as a Marine, especially in the infantry. Tyrone is stubborn, self-assured, and hates admitting weakness.

We Don't Die: Tyrone's sense of self-preservation is ... fairly low. He's lived through bullets and bombs, what else does he have to be afraid of?

Disabled: Tyrone is in a wheelchair fulltime. It sucks.

What's Next: Now that he's not a Marine anymore, Tyrone doesn't have ANY idea what he's going to do next. He had planned on going to college, maybe, but now what?

 Tyrone had been a little over six feet tall when he was all grown up.  Then he got shot in the lower back and now he sits in a wheelchair.  His hair is black, worn longer on top and buzzed on the sides, no longer conforming to military standards.  He has flared nostrils above wide lips, and he's allowed the thinnest of mustaches to grow on his upper lip.
 The young man is obviously in good shape, regardless of the chair.  It's not a generic hosptial use wheelchair, either.  It's obviously been ordered for him, as it fits him perfectly, and looks pretty sleek.  For clothes, though, he still wears military style gear very frequently, as it's mostly all he owns, including the worn combat boots on his feet.

2019-11-28 - Thankful for...
**Open vignette scene.** Feel free to share a snippet of your character's Turkey Day. Could be anything - something that happens/ed off-camera, a character you didn't get a chance to play, a misty water-colored memory, whatever's clever. Note that this isn't a "live" scene in the traditional sense; just a collection of vignettes around a common theme. I'll be leaving it open until Friday the 16th at around 4:30 PM Pacific / 7:30 PM Eastern.

2019-09-19 - Please Don't Imagine Dragons
Tyrone and Easton are working out when a sudden blow to the head drags them both into a Dream. In the dream, there was a dragon. (Sorta) Lucky for them, the Mystical Knight Elf Haven was there to (kinda) rescue Tyrone when Easton gets himself kicked out of the Dream by actually managing to hurt the dragon.
Easton, Tyrone, Haven
