--Introduction--
I tend to be very obscure and subtle with what happened to Dimitri. Why is he in the Down Below? What happened to his friends and family? Why is he so bonkers? I wanted to start exploring the answers to these questions. I’ll try to be lenient to the creative process for some of the characters I need but a couple of them are practically set in stone. So, we’ll consider this as part one of three. I’ll add on more positions that need to be filled or that have come into being already. Some key points will be given but not clearly defined as best to give myself and the others I write with a chance to mold the story better. I am usually a solo-writer and tend to be very big on using NPCs in my writing and feel very passionate about sculpting them myself. I’m opening the doors and inviting you to recreate, to reinvent, to reimagine the characters I’ve already dreamed about.Welcome to the storeroom that is my mind.
^_^--Characters Needed--
Family
--:--The Daughter--:--
Name: Emilia Darter
Age: 12-14
Suggested FC: Elizabeth “Lizzie” Middleford (Black Butler)
Info: The prodigal daughter of Dimitri Darter who was presumed dead. Saying she is intelligent is an understatement, her creative mind could rival or even exceed that of her father’s. Her blonde hair and age is pretty much the only distinguishing features you would need to hold onto in regards to physical appearance. Perhaps scars from the attack four years prior. Archery, fencing, science, math, she excels in anything she puts forth the effort in. Horrible things were done to her during the attack but I don’t want her spirit crushed; perhaps the ordeal hardened her? A circumstance for taking her is that Rowen (see below) would become an NPC unless someone can fill her role at the same time. Further information will be provided to whoever takes up Emilia. She is perhaps the most important of all the characters I need.
-------------------------------------------------
Loyal
--:--The Bodyguard--:--
Name: Rowen ________
Age: Late-20s to Mid-30s
Suggested FC: Cana (Fairy Tale)
Info: The bodyguard/nursemaid of Emilia. She was the best friend of the girl’s mother, Abigail, and served as her right-hand during their time in the HAWKs. She has a serious demeanor and before the attack four years ago, she was on the hefty side due to her docile life. Things can change, though, so her physical appearance is pretty much up you so long as you keep her hair dark. She was injured during the attack, something crippling that follows her like a missing limb or other injury that stands out. A circumstance for taking her is that Emilia (see above) would become an NPC unless someone can fill her role at the same time. Further information will be provided to whoever takes up Rowen.
-------------------------------------------------
Viral
--:--The Creation--:--
Name: Dimitri calls her “Vita” but she can have whatever name she likes
Age: 1-2
Suggested FC: Black Rock Shooter
Info: Dimitri’s most prized creation next to a toaster-launcher (no toast included) and his biomechanical leg-braces (epic legs are epic), the Doll simply named “Vita” was put together through pain-staking labor on the madman’s part. It is a miracle that the amount of detail put into her rivals even the most top of the line model, even more so that Dimitri crafted her out of things he found in the Junkyard. Her skin feels real, her hair like silk, and she has an intricate and massive wiring design that makes up her ‘nervous system’. Dimitri intended her to be the ultimate vegetable stomping machine…and to feel human, to act like one. She eases his trouble mind with her presence and can actually translate his odd ramblings. Her personality will develop according to you, really, but her key feature is that she spreads a virus to other dolls: it can either alter their speech pattern to speak gibberish like Dimitri or can overload programed emotions. Next to Emilia, she is my second most important character I need filled.
-------------------------------------------------
Suspicion
--:--The Detective--:--
Name: Up to you!
Age: Late-20s and onward
Suggested FC: Whatever you want! :3
Info: Pretty simple, I need a HAWK who would take interest in the Darter case. Stumble upon the file or was a cadet during the time of the “fire” and wasn’t satisfied with the results. Poking and prodding for information on the Darters is gonna get him/her noticed by people who want things buried. Important, upper echelon kind of people that can make him disappear. His personal investigation is going to lead him all over the Upside, key stops being the Philosopher’s Club and the Uisdean University. The death of twenty members of the Darter family and ten family friends, most of which were ex-HAWKs and lower-house nobles, was swept under the rug too easily. It’s up to this HAWK to play the game of cloaks and daggers, eventually discovering the reason for the death of the Darters and what Dimitri had discovered that got them all killed. He will work closely with the Colleague (see below). If someone picks up the Colleague, chances are I will take the Detective as my third character.
-------------------------------------------------
Malignant
--:--The Fiend--:--
Name: Whatever you want.
Age: Late-20s and onward
Suggested FC: Completely up to you.
Info: His position can be filled by anyone with a penchant for wrong-doing, murder, and various other horrible atrocities. He was hired with a handful of other nobodies to put an end to the Darter household. It’s possible that he may hold some scar for escaping the same fate of his companions. A price they paid for accepting the job from a higher authority. The Fiend is an important part of this story; he was responsible for most of the slaughter, for defiling the women, for being an all around grade-A bastard. A representation of human depravity, his face would be recognized and feared by Dimitri/Emilia/Rowen. I’m more than willing to take in a preexisting character for this position.
-------------------------------------------------
Trust
--:--The Friends--:--
Name: You! –flails- =D
Age: Whatever!
Suggested FC: I’m sure you already got one!
Info: You! I need people to become the friends that make Dimitri trust again! Sure, the madman seems friendly but that doesn’t mean he trusts you! Has your character shaken his hand? Maybe but know the mad scholar was thinking of a way to get away from you or break your neck in the flittering recesses of his mind! Scenarios play out and I’m sure we’ll come across plenty of opportunities for friends that gain his trust to start picking up the pieces!
-------------------------------------------------
Betrayal
--:--The Colleague--:--
Name: Up to you!
Age: Mid-30s
Suggested FC: Wild Tiger (Tiger and Bunny)
Info: He worked closely with Dimitri at the University under a professor of great renown. They were practically brothers but his ambition is far too great. Once he got word of Dimitri’s acceptance into the ranks of the professors, he took what Dimitri had told him and warned certain individuals of Darter’s find. Instead of Dimitri just being told to keep quiet, this Colleague was forced to partake in the slaughtering of the scholar’s entire family. He had to kill his professor and burn all evidence of Dimitri’s findings. His personality and physical appearance are completely up to you, but regret plays a heavy part in his role. He will work closely with the Detective (see above), mostly as a way to steer the HAWK off the path towards the truth. If someone picks up the Detective, chances are I will take the Colleague as my third character.
---------------------------------------------------Together We Dream//Part One//Key Points--
-:- Creation; introduction of Vita
-:- Cat and Mouse; the reopening of the Darter case
-:- Ezra Powers; has Dimitri’s wedding ring
-:- Reunion; father and daughter meet once again.
As I’ve mentioned before, I’m all up for reinvention and tweaks here and there. Let me know if you’re interested and I’ll be happy to work with you till we’re both satisfied. Once a few stories are created, I'll slap something up in the sub-plot section for further clarification and quick reference. ^__^///End Character Request///
