Species?
> Sable (polecat) Ferret

Age?

Give us a couple paragraphs of general info about your character. For example, what's the character's personality like? What kind of things does he or she do? Why does he or she do it?
> Desmond's personality is usually on a “who’s here” basis. Mostly he will have a relaxed composure, only flipping out if something goes awry while he can’t change anything. In times of stress he’ll usually be quite outspoken, almost to the point of just not caring what anyone else says (which has gotten him in trouble on general occasions). After retiring early from G.U.N he still had the urge to help people, so he spends most of his time in his car listening to police radios, listening for situations that are way above their capabilities, to rush in. Whenever he receives the publicity he would normally blow off the hype of the acclaim and accept the “thank you’s” with a modest attitude. On the occasions where a woman is involved though, his priorities immediately change from pleasing others to helping himself. He is quite the womanizer except to the point where he doesn’t like to keep the relationship going longer than a few hours. Though he is trying to compile what he wants and needs in life, he doesn’t seem to have it put together, and in most cases doesn’t care.

Does your character have any skills or special abilities, a gimmick, or anything that makes it stand out as an athlete or fighter? If so, talk a little about it here. Be sure to include an explanation or origin story for anything unusual, extraordinary, or supernatural.
> As a sniper in the G.U.N military, Desmond has experienced his fair share of shootouts and long days of cat v.s mouse battles with his adversary. During his routinely ordeals he has learned exceptional tricks about shooting. He prefers shooting without a scope which has given him precise accuracy over the years, being able to spot even the most minor movements people make.

Does your character have any purpose? (It's okay if you don't have this fully figured out yet, but all the better if your character does have an agenda or some sort of driving force to it to make it interact with other characters.)
> Desmond usually spends his time listening in on police chatter, waiting for whenever the situation is far too big for them to handle. At that moment he advances to the scene of strife and attempts to handle the situation on his own accord. He also has to deal with his kleptomaniac ex-partner who occasionally robs stores and gives him the bounty (which he immediately returns).

Does your character have an image? You can post it here, if so (as long as you follow the rules mentioned in the character guidelines). If not, please write a description of your character's appearance.
>I have the image but I will edit later and include the photo
Desmond is 96 cm tall and weighs 29 kg. He has blonde and brown fur, mostly blonde but brown in specific places. His hair is upward spikey, windswept to the right with the hair on the back of his head straight down. He wears a sleeveless white jacket with two pockets and a yellow ring around the opening of the arms. He has an undershirt which is a black turtle neck, which has a zipper that goes all the way down. He wears a pair of white mini shorts and a pair of black stockings that are stuffed on top of his blue and black combat boots, which have 3 straps over the tongue and a zipper going down the side.

Will you be around to play your character regularly? (i.e. Keeping daily tabs on any threads you involve yourself in, and posting whenever it's your turn?)
>Like others, I will try my best. Most likely yes.

Do you live in or near the Americas, or elsewhere? (It may be difficult for you to participate in any of the fast-moving sessions if you're only online when the rest of the group is asleep, so we ask this just to be aware of any potential problems.)
> I live in America.

Are you okay with having your character information and image on this website (such as on the wiki)?
>Sure! No problem there.

What is your name? (Don't post your last name! This forum isn't private!)
>Dennis

Post subject:  Re: Desmond Tracewood

Let me just say this is a lot more appropriate for the setting and much improved for profile purposes over the original draft you PMed us. So, let's give it a shot! Here's your starter wiki page:

Desmond

You can log into the wiki with your forum username and password, and use the edit tab to begin constructing the wiki profile at your leisure.

A few things to consider as you go in:
  • You're submitting a sniper. I'm sure I don't need to tell you that the goal of a sniper is to kill targets of opportunity from afar, without being seen, preferably in a single shot (where possible). This makes it an odd fit for a Sonic RP, but we're going to try it here and see what you do. Be aware that utilizing the skill could be difficult. Even if it is done correctly, the results could be unpredictable, since our... "injury physics" as an RP are not like real life. Also, trying to "snipe" player characters could also be very disruptive to the story, and any attempts at player-character-killing that are not for a very good story purpose may come back on you hard. You've been warned.
  • This app mentions a kleptomaniac friend. For now, it's Desmond who's being approved for you to use. If you want to start utilizing NPCs, perhaps save it for another time after you've gotten otherwise involved in the story with Desmond alone.
  • You'll be joining the RP at a stage where there is no such thing as "police chatter" because the world has been pretty much conquered. No, it doesn't mean you need to remove it from the profile. Not at all. I'm just making sure you're aware of the setting. (If anything, this should give the character more to fight for than some petty crime would, so it's hopefully a good thing for you.)
  • I titled your starter wiki page "Desmond." If after looking at the usual conventions for character page naming you decide you want it to be his full name or Griff or something else, it'll be simple enough to change.

And I guess that's everything. As usual, the best way to get involved is to hang out in the chat and watch for opportunities in-character in the RP threads. Ask as many questions as you like. Folks are happy to help.
