I will enter two for now. I think Flash would be more of my main, with Jewel being a later addition?
Also, this is copy pasta from my posts from way back when. ^^;

'The air is choked with dust so thick that at times, all I can do is cough up mud. The buildings, long since burned to husks still stare down accusingly at me from time to time... I think that's how he sees us, the Eye I mean. The Eye of Pandemonium. He took my friends away and forces me to live my life in this bleak pit of hell. There is no real shelter because, whenever I dig in for the night, the Fleshrenders come, looming across the wastes like hounds out of the darkest pits of hell.
...Dig in for the night. Ha! I almost forgot how stupid that sounds now. There is no day in this place, no way to record the passage of time. Perhaps time doesn't even exist here,
They come for us when we feel safest. Dark as night and even more silent. I haven't slept in days. When I get a chance to, I wake up almost immediately from the nightmares. During the walks, I close my eyes for respite, but the hunger and the fear draw me back to reality... If reality is the right term for this place. There is no release from the dead and hungry city.
...I don't know where the city is exactly, Remedi thought it was a dark insight into the future, where the Eye has run out of flesh to sake his hunger. Fassbender said that this place isn't actually a city, but something so ethereal and evil that the mind rationalises the place into something that reminds us of death and ruination. I believe... I believe we are in Hell, where Pandemonium reigns.'

Very soon I will gear up to start the RP in earnest, so if there are any questions to ask. Now is the opportune time.

I recognise that as roleplaying is a group effort, many of you are going to want to put your own individual flair into this game. Something I'm ecstatic about and actively encourage. However, all I ask is that before you introduce a new element into the main game that you post it here first that we can iron out kinks (if there are any) and get a bit of correspondence going. Some new grubbly to come after you? Some building or trap? Please, contribution is the lifeblood of a good rp.

Also, a few hints for the road.
Remember! This roleplay pits you against horrible creatures from somewhere beyond your universe. Strength is not the principal gift to be relished. Sure, you might be able to kill a Fleshrender, perhaps ten, perhaps even fifty. But the Eye of Pandemonium can play the game of attrition, and he will win. Yes, The Eye of Pandemonium is stronger than your characters, call it god-moding if you want, he is a god. But that's the point, there is no fun in an Big Bad Boss that you can trump with no effort. To escape the Midnight City, you will need to fight, but brains and concurring your inner demons is the true victory in the land of endless night. You will find a way escape eventually, and perhaps take a swing at the Eye on your way out. Relish this, and have faith in your friends.

Internal monologue is very important in this game. Be sure to focus on the natural fear and paranoia of the place, as well as a healthy skepticism of your team. That said, this is not an excuse for other players to base their actions of anothers internal monologue. This is called meta-gaming, and it is stupid.

Example:
X: (Internally) I don't trust Y, I think I'll have to kill him tonight.
Y: For no reason, Y decided to stay up all night.

Other than that there is little else, if you want a bit of preliminary, I guess you could start to think about the things that will be taken off you when you arrive. Also, your arrival will be heralded by the sound of church bells ringing throughout the Midnight City. You will be confronted by the cold ground and a new and terrifying sights of the Midnight City.


P.S.
For those who haven't. Insert your Virtue or Vice. It is a 'trait', something that has to be quantified, (see above).

(Aha, SuperShadowGal, I knew I'd get ya)

Elaborate Josh. What do you mean by justice kind?

I have no idea whether this'll work. But added Vice to my first character.
If I've grasped it's purpose correct that is.

Not necessarily, to my understanding. Sure, you could use those too, but like I mentioned before, ANY formative personality trait, positive or negative, can count as a Virtue or Vice, respectively. But it has to be a big part of how your character thinks and acts.
Indeed, there is nothing more repulsive than these monsters that defy nature and are known by the name of witcher, as they are the offspring of foul sorcery and witchcraft. They are unscrupulous scoundrels without conscience and virtue, veritable creatures from hell capable only of taking lives. They have no place amongst decent and honest folk.

This guy...
This guy, is a wizard. An absolute gem
Please forgive the double-post. This is relatively important.

Now, the RP will be up in a couple of minutes. When it is up, there are a few things you might want to remember.
Your character will simply wake up, cold and alone in a wasteland, that alone is unsettling. Compound that with the natural evil that 'oozes' from the place.
Your items and gear will be gone. Scattered about the City for later use by The Eye in his games.
Other than that, there is no law as to where you will arrive. An old church? A used car dealership? Your call.

I'm only looking for an approval whether the vice aspect is proper enough before I even make an intro.

Yassuh, I'm sure he knows already. It's not wrong to want GM confirmation on something before making the first post.

Also, I don't care if "holdout" gear is "cheating," I'd prefer to err on the side of character concept. Don't worry, he isn't keeping anything "game-changing." I had already listed what got taken away and what got kept.

Dragonflame: I'm not really sure how 'Too strive for the unreachable' will be playable as a vice to be exploited. I'm happy to hear suggestions if you have them. If you think you can, get started.

Prokhor Zakharov: A few weapons can actually be somewhat of a tease from The Eye. I don't see any issue in you having a the knives and a 9mm. I'm not sure what 9mm slugs would do to the beasts of the Midnight City anyway. Just remember that survival is a key aspect of this game and ammo will always be limited.
