Here I thought I repost my char

NAME: Argyle Graves
ITEM: Old magnifying glass that was obtained during his service in scottland yard.
BACKSTORY: Argyle grew up on the streets of london, although he didn't have it as bad as Mason for he had used his good looks and charm to get what he wanted. He eventually joined the scottland yard, where He was paired up with Mason as a sort of apprentice, and worked with him throughout many years of obscure adventures. However, a rather unpleasent incident with the Dutchess of Whales had them kicked out scottland yard. He and his mentor have landed a job with a company who has assigned them to sort out a few "problems" at the docks.
PERK: Impecible charm (persuasion, but i wanted to be a bit more specific)

hooray for copy and paste

I thought I would repost my character as well. I hope that's alright!

Name: Christine Fox
Item: Umbrella

Backstory: Christine is a semi-well known medium, using her abilities to communicate with the dead. She performs in both public settings and private séances. Unlike gaudier, fake séances of the day, her work is more subdued but genuine. Mainly talking with the dead, she does show some traits of clairvoyance and claircognizance. Although she does have actual psychic ability, she does have the tendency to exaggerate past experiences with the paranormal to seem more knowledgeable. She is on the docks because she has just returned from Europe where she lead various private séances.

Special Skill: Psychic Perception.

I'll go ahead a join this, it looks like fun. Let's see:

NAME: Elizabeth (alias Edward)
ITEM: Knife
BACKSTORY: Elizabeth grew up in the streets with her older brothers James and Henry. She often played the bait and was always good at luring in rich and wealthy, allowing her brothers to circle around and pickpocket them.
It was a fast way to live until Henry was caught stealing and James was stabbed by an aristocrat during an operation.
No Elizabeth is alone looking for a new group to be a part of, but the streets are the place for women unless the wish to work them, so she cut her hair and now goes by the name Edward, wearing her brother's tattered clothes to complete the look.
PERK/SPECIAL SKILL: 'Look Out' Man.

Elizabeth/Edward accepted.

Guest

Name: Harry Donaldson
Item: Knife, hidden in his right boot.

NAME: William Haverson.
ITEM: Cane with Brass Head
BACKSTORY: William is the son of a clock worker in London and picked it up as a hobby. He's a chemist by trade, but is not very good at it. He is relatively tall and always wears one of his nice suits in public.
PERK: Scientific Mind

William accepted

Name: Stephanie Jeebleson

Item: This Knuckle Duster

Backstory: Stephanie is a crossdressing male ballerina from Russia. She prefers to be called a she. She did not get along with her parents very well or her siblings which caused her to bring all her feeling out into ballet, which she then refused to take her tutu off because it made her feel special.

Name: Henry Vilesend Sout
Item: Cross
Backstory: Born with Situs Invertus rendering his major organs on the opposite sides, early in his life he viewed this as a sign of his destiny being set in motion. With a motto that reflects his almost uncaring nature ("If it is for Power I will gladly crush all") he views friends and family as emotional weak points and things that end up just slowing down. He abandoned his family several years early and cut off all connection with any so called friends.
Perk: Combat Training

Hate to break it to ya kid, but this RP is dead.
Which is really quite a shame, it had such promise.

Well, crap.

Won't let me delete the post.

Once again, this RP is dead.
Can we just go ahead and lock this or something?
