C2Believe - Our New Reality

Nice sheet, Toky! Approved.

Name: Morgan Barnes

 

Gender: Male

 

Age: 29

 

Physical appearance: Standing at 6' exactly with a slender frame, peachy complexion peppered with freckles, dirty blonde mess of hair, and striking blue eyes, Morgan has a rather babyish, youthful appearance that hardly coincides with his age. If not for the keenness in his gaze and the faint lines betraying the stresses of making a living, then one could almost easily mistake him as a graduate fresh out of grade school. As for clothing, he usually dresses in flannel shirts, grayish jeans, a pair of sturdy steel-toed boots, and his denim jacket. Often, he also tucks his curly hair underneath a baseball cap.

 

Personality: Morgan is a friendly enough fellow, even if he is a bit introverted. His is a benevolent soul, and he often does what he can to help others who need a hand—within reason, of course. While he is accustomed to stress, he rarely puts himself through unnecessary stress and is quick to remove himself from any stressful situation he doesn't have to be a part of. He is also adverse to competitive individuals, but he's bullheaded enough to toss down the gauntlet if he feels capable of winning. To avoid both needless worrying and the tempting though volatile nature of competition, he often keeps to himself as a result, only keeping in touch with a handful of old friends and his family.

 

Regarding his personal interests, he enjoys the likes of literature, outdoors, and—rather obviously, considering his eligibility for being one of C2Believe's beta testers—video games. However, his line of work means he never really stays in one place for very long, so whatever hobbies cannot be had whilst on the move often fall to the wayside for Morgan. Due to his humble, simplistic, and hardworking nature, he's deeply set in his ways and frowns upon any major changes that may interfere with his content existence; he almost turned down the offer to participate in C2B's beta tests simply because it'd involve taking a fair number of his vacation days to travel to their headquarters and stay there until the beta was over, but he committed himself to the authentic and rare opportunity after his friends insisted upon it.

 

Favorite gaming franchise(s): Dragon Age, Witcher, Elder Scrolls, Bioshock, Shadowrun, Warhammer Fantasy, Starcraft, Diablo, Mass Effect, Mount & Blade, Star Wars, World of Darkness, Forgotten Realms, and a whole slew of indie games. Oddly, he favors enhanced editions of older games over the pricey titles of new releases, and he's out of luck concerning any games that require a reliable internet connection or computer specs beyond those of his expensive though hardly cutting-edge laptop.

 

Occupation: Morgan works as a freight driver who delivers goods cross-country. While the pay is decent, Morgan values it more for the open road, disciplined routine, and the opportunity to visit places he likely never would have, had he pursued any other profession. Truth be told, he performs this job in such an exemplary manner because it coincides with his reclusive, escapist habits; more than once has he almost come to blows with his brothers and father over the many instances where he happened to forget about this family gathering or that.

 

Background: Despite being the second oldest of five children, Morgan was all too often regarded as a little brother by his actual younger siblings during his rural upbringing in the midwest on their family's farm. He more often kept to himself whenever the others did things together, neither a leader of their troupe like his older brother nor a follower like his younger siblings. As the years progressed, it seemed that Morgan's detachment from his chaotic brethren only worsened, particularly once all of them had reached the height of high school. However, nothing foul ever came of Morgan's differences from his siblings until he became the only one among them who struggled and eventually dropped out of college; that was a course of events which drove a wedge between Morgan and the rest of his family, compelling him to find a means of self-reliance. Consequently, the job opportunity to become a freight driver, with the proper training, greatly appealed to him, and he quickly devoted himself to the dream until it finally came to fruition.

 

Ever since then, he's roamed the whole of the country, meeting more friends and discovering more new and interesting places than he ever did back home. As one might expect, his isolation from his family made him the black sheep of the Barne name, making familial events an utter pain for him. Nevertheless, he attended them for the sake of the family until one such occasion when his brothers alienated him for his choice of profession and his failed education. While nothing serious came of the intense brawling that followed save for black eyes and bruised spirits, it drove Morgan further away until his attendance to such gatherings were a rare happening if that. So, he's since led a simple existence from one hotel to the next, enjoying the peace and the occasional call as well as free internet service of coffee shops and the likes.

You're approved, Mason!

Name: Cian "Omni" Tierney

 

Gender: Male

 

Age: 23

 

Physical Appearance: Cian strikes an unassuming figure, being rather skinny and standing at 5'11". Pale complected, with light freckles, messy red hair, and unassuming green eyes peer out from under a pair of plain glasses, Cian is plain to look at, not winning any beauty contests but not ugly, either, and comes across as an archetypal nerd of Irish descent, especially when at his job at C2Believe in his office uniform (though the laugh lines and modest beard make him appear older and more mature than he really is, and he is surprisingly athletic). When not at work, he often wears jeans with a plain t-shirt.

 

Personality: Though taciturn and introverted, Cian is surprisingly friendly and fun-loving, and possesses a sharp sense of humor (though his friends find his puns to be a form of cruel and unusual punishment). Omni is focused and hard-working, preferring to take a methodical approach to tasks one piece at a time, and dislikes needless interruptions and laziness (and other forms of "unprofessionalism," as he'd put it). Despite this, he is easy-going when there's nothing that needs doing. Ironically, Cian gravitates towards being a jack-of-all-trades, a fact that sometimes clashes with his single-minded nature.

 

Favored game franchise(s): StarCraft, WarCraft, Half-life, Mass Effect, Halo, Mount & Blade, Warhammer 40K, Command & Conquer, Red Faction, Devil May Cry, Dungeons and Dragons, Pathfinder, Star Wars; Cian is drawn to rpgs and strategy games, but if a game looks interesting, he likes it.

 

Occupation: As part of an intern program needed for college credit, Cian works part-time at C2Believe, helping with testing the rough concept and programming design while balancing it with his school workload. He dislikes having to split his attention between work and college, but it was a necessary evil, he gets to work with video games, and he gets both pay and class credit, so it doesn't bother him too much.

 

Background: Cian grew up the middle child of the classic suburban family, staying out of trouble but not doing much of note either. Enjoying outdoor activities and sports, succeeding in his academics, and loving games, virtual and physical, he got the nickname "Omni" from his classmates in high school because of how he liked to participate in everything catching his fancy. Being smart and athletic, most of his peers and family members assumed he would go on to become someone important, so it came as a surprise to everyone when he declared he wanted to go into video game design, stating that he wanted to "do something fun," and has worked incredibly hard to that end.

Approved, Grue! :D

Because of exceedingly poor internet the past week or so that's made communicating through Steam nearly impossible, not to mention life being physically and emotionally exhausting during that time as well, I'll be taking a break from C2B to get my bearings. It eats me up thinking that my unannounced inactivity might have brought the RP to a grinding halt; so, please carry on without me. I'll be sure to let you all know when I'm able to continue.

[GrueMaster]

Don't worry about it, Mason. Things will be where you left them, if you like. And, no, your inactivity isn't the cause of anything (just kidding, HOW DARE YOU!?!? XD ). Hope things get better for you.

Looks like we're waiting on you, Grue. :)

This one still going or is it in limbo? I haven't done a good RP in a while.
