1968 (Background, Character Creation, and Discussion).

Post by Defensorem Lupus »

The year is 1968, the month is February, and the world is at the brink of chaos(hate) and peace(love). Supernaturals are unknown and want to stay that way but there are those who want to expose them for an array of motivations.
Setting: Washington D.C. area. http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&resnu ... 2&ct=image

Key issues to be involved in the RPG are: the Cold War=WW3=Nuclear Holocaust/ Vietnam War+Civil Rights=Civil Disobedience=Riots/ MLKjr assassination/ RFK assassination/ LBJ and Nixon/ Apollo program; Space Race/ Hippies/ including other things that occurred in 1968.

Guidelines/ Rules:
Familiarize yourself with this year. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968
Make a character for this year.
Post in order at first.
Prevent chaos.
HAVE FUN!

*When you post your character follow the format for my character. I will post the Game Thread when I am ready or when I feel there are enough characters. If you need help with anything just ask me.

The wolf is neither man's competitor nor his enemy.
He is a fellow creature with whom the earth must be shared...
If the wolf is to survive, the wolf haters must be outnumbered.
They must be outshouted, out financed, and out voted.
Their narrow and biased attitude must be outweighed by an attitude based on an understanding of natural processes.

Name: Keith Kristofferson

Date of Birth: July 14, 1940

Race: American

Species: Human/ Werewolf

Height: 5' 10"

Weight: 160 pounds

Eye Color: Dark Brown

Hair Color: Dark Black

Personality: Very laid back, he's never in a rush. SHould the need arise, however, he can be serious.

Motives: He's like half of a hippie, he cares about cultural revolution, believes that its time for change, but isn't caught up in the drug scene. He's just trying to get through life without any hassles.

Clothes: Jeans and a T-shirt. He is sometimes known to wear a head band.

Background: Keith was born in Baltimore Maryland on July 14, 1940. He was born to poor parents, who didn't really think much of him, and struggled his way through school, but he made it. He also took the time to take up a few instruments and soon found that he was at least half way decent. After barely slipping his way through college, Keith moved out to North Laurel where he currently resides, much to his parents' relief. He takes work as a musician where he can find it.

While walking his way through Savage Park one day he was attacked by a rouge werewolf. He managed to escape, with minor wounds, however he had still been bitten. He does not seem to mind, embracing the freedom it seems to have given him.

Occupation: Hippie/ Musician

Residence: North Laurel, Maryland.

Abilities: He's your average werewolf, trying to keep the fact secret.

Hate to double post, although an edit wouldn't really fit my previous post. Anyway, I had a quick question. How many people do we need before we can start the RP? I'm sure there are people that can easily be recruited. :D

It is okay, I was hoping for at least one or two more people to join. I was planning on starting it this weekend, most defiantly tomorrow night.

I am going to start with a news story on TV, then I will go first followed by WereWolfBoy and then by you Darkest Wolf, then anybody else who wants to join.

That can and will happen, but first you have to have your character see the TV news and then do something about it. Then your character could come across mine!
