Realistic or Modern Coldwater: A Supernatural Horror Western (Interest check)

29e1a62f88abab8110faed2ef94f9de6.jpg


Name:
Theodora Blackwood

⥈ Age:
She is 35 years old but often appears a bit younger due to well kept skin and the use of makeup.

⥈ Height:
5’6”

⥈ Description:
A very charming and very observant woman. There’s not much that gets past her and her head is always filled with town secrets whispered to her from the girls she employs. She’s not known to spread the gossip though which makes her such a good madam. It wouldn’t do well if her clients secrets came to light. Theodora is very warm and caring towards those she’s fond of. She isn’t one to give a cold shoulder unless you’ve truly gotten onto her bad side.



⥈ Profession:
She works as a madam and treats her girls very well. She often checks on the men before allowing them to hire her girls for the night. She also does repairs on clothing for the towns folk when needed so she gets small payments from that as well.

⥈ Business:
She owns a brothel in the town where the woman work during the nights and sometimes during the day. The building is decorated rather nicely looking like any other building in the small town. Though there are clear markers indicating what goes on within the building. She also allows her girls to make use of the saloon’s bedrooms when the owner of the saloon allows it. She also has a small work shop in the brothel where she repairs clothing and helps the girls get fitted into outfits.

⥈ What brought you to Coldwater?:
A fresh start is what brought the Blackwood siblings to town. It was mainly due to Theodora that they ended up in Coldwater. Theodora wanted to leave the old life she now keeps hidden and what better way then a nice small town where they could start a new.


⥈ Who came with you?:
A slightly older brother who came with her to do whatever it is he wants.(open for someone to play him)


⥈ What's your big secret?:
She use to be a hired gun. Very skilled at her trade however she left the business when the result of a job lead to the death of a young child. She keeps it hidden that she knows how to even work a gun.
 
First post is up! Once you have your character sheet approved go hog wild!

Great! Approved! (Can you include the name of her Brothel?)
 
I’m torn between these two names The Chaste Cat (cause irony lol) or Lupanaria (which means brothel, she-Wolf)
 
I like the Chaste cat a lot, that works on several levels. I also like that they can call it "The Cat" as a kind of shorthand.
 
Sure! I'm willing to go with whatever suits you best, I think having a place for the working gals would be quite cool. I was thinking kind of a quite dramatic and cheeky younger man who's actually a runaway from a shitty home life, so maybe she ended up giving him a job after that? If we went that route we could chat a bit about making them close friends.

It seems that Wolfiee Wolfiee already has a working girl type place (brothel). I meant that there would be two business' sharing the same house, the bar and something else, not one being the boss and the other being a worker. I think maybe it's best the saloon is seperate, and perhaps close to the brothel for convenience. If you want, you can have your character approach and ask for a job, but I'd rather start out with my character by herself with her saloon, and develop from there throughout the RP. Hope that's alright!
 
That makes sense - seeing Wolfie's character sheet also gave me the idea of possibly making him a gentleman of the night. I think it tracks for him being desperate for some money after leaving home. I might go in that direction - either way, thank you for chatting ideas with me c:
 
LadyLynx LadyLynx : I do hope it’s alright that Theodora sends girls to your saloon! I think it would do well for both businesses as the men would be buying rooms for the night and the more the woman flirted the more the men would stay for drinks.
 
strawberrycelia strawberrycelia Sounds like a really cool idea! And anytime ^^

Wolfiee Wolfiee Absolutely it is! She can just send them over - I can imagine both business owners will be quite happy with the outcome that form of cooperation

⥈ Name: Ricardo Hudson
⥈ Age: 23
⥈ Height: 6 foot even
⥈ Description:
Ricardo is a sweet-talking young man with a pretty face and even prettier lips. He's a recent runaway from home trying to discover who he truly is, especially after growing up under the shadow of abuse. More than anything, Rico likes to please. And not just in the more NSFW way that he desires to please any man or woman that gives him attention - no, he desires to be genuinely wanted. As much as he feigns easy confidence, deep down he's a nervous kid trying to find people who will accept him in a way he's never been accepted before. He wields his sexuality as a shield to keep others from taking advantage of the more vulnerable side he's convinced he should hide.

⥈ Profession: Rico is an aspiring gentleman of the night, as he's pretty sure that's his best chance at making a buck as he's more than a little underequipped to be a miner. He's not cut out to mine - he can't even use a gun.

⥈ Business: N/A

⥈ What brought you to Coldwater?: Though he doesn't like to talk about it, Rico comes from a broken home. A mother with a broken spirit, two younger brothers full of rage, and a father who taught them only violence. Rico isn't the picture of a man his father had hoped for as his eldest son and his affinity for other men made him even more of a target. Because of this he often bore the brunt of the old man's hatred. After his sweet mother passed away from an illness, Ricardo realized he either had to conform to his father's poisonous ways or preserve what was left of his soft spirit and flee. So ever the bleeding heart, he fled.

⥈ Who came with you?: Rico came alone.

⥈ What's your big secret?: Despite needing to keep his affinity for both women and men under wraps as well as his career, Rico has another secret. Ricardo is startlingly intuitive, so much so that other's desires are often crystal clear to him. This makes him more dangerous than he'd like to be, so he often makes his true emotional intelligence hard to ascertain. The only place he ever lets this gift shine is the gambling table, carefully paying attention to the emotions and microexpressions of those around him to secure win after win.

⥈ Name: Angela Waters, but do not call her Angel
⥈ Age: 28 years old
⥈ Height: 5'4
⥈ Description: Despite her short height and warm brown eyes, this lady is strong-willed, intelligent and with more tricks up her sleeve than the poker-players at the saloon she runs. She's learned survival in the Wild West through hardships, but here she is, the owner and bartender of her own saloon, The Golden Coin, in a small western town. She may be small and not the strongest of the bunch, but what she lacks in height and bulging muscles, she's more than made up with in agility and swiftness, whether it be on horse, with a gun or her way of words. She's also a lady of intelligence, not one easily fooled. Kindness and warmth is a side of her that's not shown as often as the more charismatic, tougher side, but its just as much a part of her, as her gun, horse, and sense of morale.

⥈ Profession: Angela runs her own saloon, The Golden Coin, as the sole bartender and owner. Before that, she was a tracker and a bounty hunter, not that she tells very many, seeing as she didn't make a lot of friends during that time - quite the opposite.

⥈ Business: The Golden Coin, a saloon with lots of gambling and liquor and girls, but few fights or thievery - Angela does not tolerate such antics

⥈ What brought you to Coldwater?: Angela was originally passing through, aiming to make distance between her and a small group of bounty hunters that felt she stole a target from right under their noses. But, one thing lead to another, and she ended up taking over the old saloon for a small sum of gold and a good bottle. So she came for a nights rest and liquor, and stayed for the money, a challenge, and a shot at a new lifestyle.

⥈ Who came with you?: A loner

⥈ What's your big secret?: Who knows, who knows?

⥈ Name: Zebadiah (Zeb) Acker

1610595808420.png

⥈ Age: 42

⥈ Height: 6’0’’

⥈ Description: Zebadiah looks older than he is. His eyes are rimmed with dark, and his hair is almost more gray than black. He’s a man who likes a little peace and quiet, when he can get it, but being alone is dangerous for him and he knows it, so he tries to spend time around others. He cares deeply for others, and has a problem sitting by and letting people get away with things he considers ‘wrong’. He has a strict moral code, however, and this can put him in conflict with decent people that don’t think the same way. If he doesn’t know you, he prefers to be called Mr. Acker if you’re younger than he is, and Zebadiah if you're similar in age or older. His friends call him Zeb, regardless of their age. He wears his Union uniform to formal events, and tends to wear his Union hat during his day to day. Proud to have served in the Union army during the Civil War. Though he hides it beneath long pants and a fitted shoe, his lower left leg is actually wooden, from where a cannon blew it off. It’s easy to tell something is wrong, however, as he walks with a limp.


⥈ Profession: Zebadiah is the town doctor and surgeon. He’s not technically qualified, but he’s had a lot of practical experience.


⥈ Business: The local pharmacy/surgery/walk in clinic. The outside of the building is run down, but the inside is kept clean and tidy. He has a curtain around the table he uses to check on patients/perform surgery. There are also lots of bookshelves and publications that Zebadiah bought and reads regularly to keep himself up to date on medical practices. A new study he read indicated that washing your hands before touching a patient reduced the rate of sickness and death significantly!


⥈ What brought you to Coldwater?: Zebadiah needed to get away from things that remind him of the war. Proud to have served his country, he nevertheless paid a heavy toll for his involvement in the war.


⥈ Who came with you?: No one.


⥈ What's your big secret?: Zebadiah was part of a squad ordered to set fire to a small town in Mississippi where they suspected they were storing a supply cache of Confederate weapons. When the men of the town tried to stop them, Zebadiah and his squad gunned them down. There were no weapons found after the town was hollowed out, but there were bodies of people who couldn’t get out fast enough. This has been his biggest shame since, and what he has nightmares about.

Approved, doc! Feel free to start posting!
 
 
Oooh, if you're still accepting I would LOVE to make a hillbilly / hill person type trapper, lives in the deep woods with the rest of the hill folk and they're going missing etc? Might be a neat dynamic if she tries to connect to the town for help / solve the mystery? Let me know what you think.

⥈ Name: Bambi Skellet
⥈ Age: 25
⥈ Height: 5 feet even.
⥈ Description: 01e22ea74f3467c301d5bbbf8d3688ec.jpg

Bambi is a short, petite woman with dirty blond hair kept in a messy braid and deep green eyes. She lives rough, camping out in the wilderness much of the time and usually wears loose patched denim overalls, worn out shirts and beat up boots (if she wears any shoes at all). She's often seen with a rifle strapped to her back and a fishing pole in hand.


⥈ Profession: Bambi makes a a bit of money off hunting and trapping, selling meat and furs to travelers in the wilderness and in town with her folk.

⥈ What brought you to Coldwater?: People are going missing in the woods, in the hills, in the mountains. First it was other trappers, outdoorsmen and prospectors trying their luck- but now some of her clan have vanished. There are shadows out there in the wild, strange creatures that Bambi is sure are spiriting folk away, and she's come to town for help.

⥈ Who came with you?: Bambi is alone, her folk don't like mixing with townspeople and they only think it will make things worse. She's going against their wishes to be there.

⥈ What's your big secret?: Some of the townsfolk say the Skellet clan is full of incestuous hill people lunatics. They call them the Skeleton clan behind their backs, spreading ludicrous rumours that they abduct and eat people, that they worship the devil, that they live in caves and only come out at night. They will always say the truth is that they're just incredibly reserved folk that like their isolation and rural lifestyle, and don't take kindly to outsiders- except Bambi, who likes to sneak out at night and partake in gambling and drinking in town until the wee hours of the morning. As for the rumours? Bambi likes to joke about them, but you'd best not go anywhere near the homestead after dusk if you're unlucky enough to find it.

Let me know what you think..🎣

Approved! Welcome on board!
 
I'm so sorry if I missed it, but what year does this story take place? (or decade if an exact year wasn't defined :) )
 
BRUHH. I have an OC that I think would be perfect for a working girl type. Are character submissions still open? I know you're starting soon, but I could probably commit to posting by the end of the weekend and I don't mind coming in a bit late if you don't mind having me!
 
(I took the liberty of filling out a character sheet anyway, just in case it made it a little harder to say no ;)) Btw, I tried to include every previously accepted character into her backstory as I could.

edit: I don't know how I missed the fact that there was already a "working person" character. My bad! Room for one more though?









⥈ Name:



Cordelia (Delia) Louise Fleetwood.

Photo.jpeg

Sometimes referred to as “Dee”, but more often she prefers Delia. When working or dealing with strangers, she often uses the Alias "JonBenét Braithwaite". She didn’t even have a name until she was almost seven years old when her schoolteacher bestowed her with one after she remained silent at roll call. Her more oft-used name obviously came a lot later at the recommendation of her madam, Theodora Blackwood (if that’s okay!!!)




⥈ Age:
20, though she’s not exactly “fresh faced” due to the hardships she’s endured and the drugs she’s abused. She appears to be closer to 25.


⥈ Height: 5’1


⥈ Description: A petite young woman with a hard heart and weathered eyes. As far as Delia is concerned, she’s seen the worst there is in people. Little does she know that just outside the outskirts of town lies a threat entirely inhuman.

⥈ Profession: Whore, Floozie, Working Girl, Prostitute, Lady of the Night….ya get the drift.

⥈ Business: Though she has no business of her own, Delia does well enough to earn her residence in the town of Coldwater. She spends most evenings drifting between the cat and the coin in a haze of relief-inducing toxins smuggled from all sources. She’s not ashamed of who she is or what she does for a living. Hell, working at The Chaste Cat is a dream compared to her previous life. Still, she seeks relief in anything that will take away the pain. Rather than having a place of her own, Delia boards in a room reserved at The Gold Coin by the month. Oftentimes she finds herself having to ask the bar’s owner, Angela, to cut her a deal on rent in exchange for cleaning and even occasionally serving drinks. This is due to her penchant for taking her salary up her nose before each month ends. Resourceful to the bitter end, Delia often tries to cover her rent by placing bets between serving customers and even joining in for a game of dominoes now and again when the nights are slow. Sometimes nights were not so lucky, though, as she learned once when she played Andrew Gurley in a round that ultimately lost her all of her liquor money. She eventually recovered the cash by working more nights through the week, which brought trouble in its own right. As her habits may suggest, she is not a fan of law enforcement. She does her best not to make a fuss and just just to steer clear of the Sheriff altogether as getting thrown in jail would mean losing a whole night's wages.

⥈ What brought you to Coldwater?: Delia arrived in Coldwater at the age of eighteen after escaping the hold of a forced labor mill in the neighboring state. She spent day and night processing materials mined from all throughout the West. Mistreatment from her captors led her to a boiling point. She finally retaliated, lashing out at the bastards who imprisoned her and finally escaping, but not without blood on her hands. What no one knows (and to be fair, no one asks) is that she murdered her captors, who happen to be among the owners of many of the most fruitful mines yet discovered in this great county. That was two years ago. Six bodies were buried on that day and law enforcement still hasn’t caught the criminal who slaughtered a handful of the richest people in the nation. If she ever were caught, she’d surely be sentenced to hang.

730538f5059fae5de894be4b209e93cc.jpg

⥈ Who came with you?: No one, but she did befriend a stray cat a few weeks after getting into town that she now keeps in her room named Jasper.

Unknown.jpeg

⥈ What's your big secret?: While she guards the knowledge of her crimes close to her heart, there is something that even Delia doesn’t know about herself. You see, the small town of Mississippi that Zebadiah and his squad burned to the ground, making her parents and everyone she’d ever known nothing more than casualties of a brutal war. The only reason that Cordelia and a handful of other children from the town were spared is because they had been hiding under their desks in the schoolhouse that stood between several towns, out of shooting range from the massacre.​
