Stebrown's Introduction and Description:
Introduction: STE BROWN(20s), sits at the bar with a deck of cards. He shuffles them without effort as his gaze falls across the other inhabitants of the bar. A bottle of WILD TURKEY on the bar in front of him, his glass full. He knocks it back.
Background: Ste Brown has three vices; gambling, drink and women. On a recent trip to Vegas, Ste was found to be counting cards at blackjack. Beaten within an inch of his life, Ste went looking for a different life. What he found was a strange Priest in Ireland who promised him all he could ever want; the ability to have as much drink, women and gambling without any consequences. Well, there is one consequence and it is deadly one. People start to wind up dead wherever he goes.
We're getting a lot of interesting characters here. Can't wait to start this.

Just Murdered by Sean Elwood (Zombie Sean) and Gabriel Moronta (Mr. Ripley) - (Dark Comedy, Horror) All is fair in love and war.

I love words and the fact that when the page is blank...there's nothing there until words are formulated in my brain. Those thoughts...rushing through my viens and out my finger tips, find "life" on the page.
When people and places come to life...that to me is exciting.
MBCgirl =) My finger nails should look nice while I type - Red works!
I'd like to jump in on this. If that's okay I can have a character introduction by tomorrow (technically now, but i'd like to work on it a little more)
Introduction: BUSH (40’s), large…maybe too large…obviously notices, as a hot BLONDE , at least half his age, sits down next to him at the otherwise empty bar. He glances over, smiles…very awkward…but very planned. She’s already entranced…something about his easy going way…his worldly, honest eyes…maybe his dilated pupils. A camera flashes behind them…
Background: Five Gold medals at Sarajevo, three knee reconstructions, and forty pounds are a world away, but the legacy of this sports playboy, and his four revolution “Dreamscale” have stood the test of time. The fact that his last two wives “mysteriously” died while skiing; leaving him in excess of $25 Million, has been media and camera fodder…much deserved media and camera fodder. Here we go again…
Blakkwolfe's introduction and background:
Introduction: T. JOE busses tables in the elegant stateroom. His faded Kill 'Em All t-shirt stained with sweat under the requisite plastic apron. He strains slightly as he picks up the plastic tub of dirty dishes and moves to the next table.
Background: A few years back, there was a Government type who needed his mistress "taken care of." It was supposed to be an easy hit. It wasn't. A dozen or so fake names and odd jobs later, he finds himself here.
He's thirty, maybe forty, the handsome type that hates to shave except when he has to. He keeps his streaky grey hair tied in a loose ponytail, more out of necessity than style...Friends used to call him Black Wolf, back in another life. But for right now, T Joe will do just fine.
And our ship's doctor - Bert's introduction and background:
Introduction: DR. BERT NEWCOMER (40), the ship's physician, exits the infirmary, and with a wry mix of amusement and contempt, he eyes the passengers that mill about the ship. His slightly graying hair lends him an air of dignity that some might even consider attractive -- were it not for the smug arrogance that infuses his every word. The crew does not much care for Dr. Newcomer, and most passengers soon follow suit.
Background: Once a respected biochemist, Bert is now exiled from the world of science and academia after falling into disgrace. His unauthorized clinical trials of untested medications in human subjects met with disastrous results. Bert has now been reduced to this -- dispensing aspirin and Dramamine to dimwitted tourists on a second-rate cruise line. He is a tired and bitter man. But there are some who say his clandestine experimentation on human subjects continues to this day...
Introduction: Countess Zadora of Sweden seems to appear magically out of the fog. She is tall, dressed in black with snow white hair and blue eyes. Blue eyes that frequently change with her mood -- to obsidian black reflecting her true dark nature.
Background: Countess Zadora is originally from Sweden... or so she says... A nosy reporter once joked that the only Count she'd ever been near was Dracula. No one ever found out what he meant since he died in a freak accident shortly after making that joke. Somehow he managed to trip and impale himself on hundreds of Swedish wooden matches.
There has been many men in her life, most notably the Russian drug lord Vlad the Inhaler and the most famous one of all Vlad the Invader aka Putin. She's been seen playing on both sides of the fence though because when it comes to money and blood, they both taste the same no matter who you extract it from...
