Escapades of the Common Thief OOC

The shroud of darkness covered the city with the perfect cover for a job. Hard to believe a bustling city could be quiet on a Wednesday night. Another gunshot fired into the air, “Freeze damn it!” The shouting was just getting annoying now, another jump above a dark alley and it would be golden. The drop spot was just up ahead. With a quick glance to the right and left an expletive was mumbled as the drop wasn’t here yet, and here came the fun.

“Finally, he we are.” A pistol could be seen in the hand of a police officer, “Come on, it’s over, put your hands up and I’ll take you in.”

“But good enforcer of the law, do you really think it is over?” The man slowly raised his left hand, tipped his cap with his right with a smile. “You really think I would give up this easily?” The man stepped back right off the edge of the building. The officer stood dumbfounded for a moment then smiled stupidly while looking over the edge to see a pair of tail lights into the distance.

The hay in the back of the truck didn’t make much of a soft landing. Theyerd sat up and knocked on the window, which the driver pulled open at the sound.

“You really couldn’t find something softer?”

“It’s not important. Did you get it?”

“You really think I would risk falling off a building if I hadn’t gotten it? You know damn well I never give up on a job of this magnitude.”

Theyer smiled and pulled a golden chain out of the inside pocket in his coat. Its shine itself was a thing of beauty, but what was on the end of it was the real prize, a locket, with a key inside.

“What’s the key for Theyerd?”

“You’ll see, you’ll see.”

The truck stopped at a small, roadside gas station, Theyer jumped out of the back, "Thanks Jim." He shouted and proceeded behind the building. He smacked a nearby trashcan three times, and a door opened in the station, leading into a small tunnel.

"Ah, home sweet home, here I come."

Name: Benjamin Theyerd (Always called Theyerd)

Gender: Male

Age: 29

Job: Leader

Appearance: Theyerd is always in a suit and top hat. He stands at approximately 5’8” with an average build from his head to his toe. He originally had curly hair, but got it straightened out by his mother as a child. Currently it is more of a shaggy mess than anything.

Bio: Theyerd is one of the most notorious international thieves in history. He is wanted in 32 countries, though, not for anything more than theft. He was born into a wealthy family, until they were robbed by another international thief by the name of “The Heron”. His parents were killed in that robbery, but it was an accident, they had both fallen down the stairs running to see what the problem was, his father slipped and knocked into his mother, and they both suffered critical injuries. “The Heron”, being a thief and not a murderer, took the boy in and raised his as his own. Teaching him how to get by and the skills needed to learn how to get out of confrontation, along with swiftness of the hand.

Okay awesome I'll come up with a char in a few days.

Sooo, yeah. anytime you people are ready lol

Name: James "J" Pascoe

Gender: Male

Age: 25

Job: Grifter (Con-Man)

Description/Bio:

Spoiler:

Okay, well, Gunneh is approved. Just saying, you don't even need to come close to that much detail. He only used so much because he copied it from an old sheet. Do not fret over details lol

Yeah sorry for the wait, I had no acces to the internet for a while and when I did, I had to do stuff for school, so I'll come up with a sheet later today, it's a promise!

Name: Solamon "Sole" Cafferty

Gender: Female

Age: 23

Job: Scout/intelligence

Appearance:

Spoiler:

Bio: Being born into a poorest of poor family, Sole was thrown into the streets on her own at a young age as her alcohol abusing mother could not take care of her. Maybe it wasn't as much as being thrown into the streets as a decision the then twelve year old made herself, figuring she'd be able to grow into a better person on the streets than she would if she stayed with her mother. It was on the streets where she taught herself the abilities she now posseses, as it would sometimes take her ages to wait for just the proper moment to steal her dinner. Other street youth would sometimes ask her if she wanted to be part of their gang, but Sole always refused as she operated best on her own and also believed that the more people she worked with, the bigger the chance on discovery and betrayal would be. Until, of course, she met the ones she trusted enough to hook up with.

Hope this is okay?

Name: Cayden Crawford, also known as 'C' or 'Cay'

Gender: Female

Age: 22

Job: Planner

Appearance: Cayden has long autumn red hair which she normally wears in two plaits either side of her head and blue eyes which stand out against her pale skin. Being a red haired person naturally seems to mean that she comes with pale skin, something which Cayden personally hates. Along with this, her face seems to be painted with numerous reddy-brown freckles.
C stands at around 5'6 in height and has meat to her bones. Despite everythng she's gone through and having to survive on the streets for years, she's maintained a healthy looking figure through pickpocketing and stealing food - skills that she learnt from an early age.
Her typical attire that one can find C in is a strap top and torn, loose fitted jeans. If it's cold, you can often find her wearing an old black hoodie that she's had for many years now, since she stopped growing at around the age of 16.

Biography: Cayden has never known her father. All she was told by her mother was that he was a low life piece of scum that she didn't need to get involved with. Not that her mother was much better, she was an alcoholic and addicted to Heroin finding them more important than her young daughter. Because of this, Cayden was allowed to pretty much run wild around the streets and easily became accustomed to gangs and crime.
It was at the age of eight though when social services got involved and took Cayden away from her mother and into foster care. C didn't like it one bit and refused to co-operate with them and find a good family that would set her on the right path in life. She wanted her mother and freedom. No matter what foster family she was put with, or in what home, Cayden continuously caused trouble and ran away.
When Cayden was 15 her mother died of a drugs overdose. It had a devastating effect on C and in anger she ran away once again, though this time was never found. Already having the skills of pickpocketing and thieving, C did pretty well by herself. She learnt how to plan things and go about them without getting caught. By 19, this skill had got her involved with a gang and she'd been there ever since, making them her home and family.

Hey Baker :3

Yaaaaay RedPen And Shekinah, that is perfect. Both Accepted. Ill have the IC tomorrow afternoon my time

http://www.footstepsofghosts.com/casual-role-playing-f12/escapades-of-the-common-thief-t2049.htm#46537

Yeah, sorry about the repetition, I didn't have much time to start another huge post, I added 4 paragraphs to the end. Sorry, shit load of work I need to get done, didn't have much time

Name: Ryu Daigo

Gender: Male

Age: 26

Job: Demolitions

Appearance:

Spoiler:

Bio: Ryu Daigo's parents were immigrants from east Asia. At first glance, Ryu seems very well mannered. The very air around him seems calm and collected. However, the thoughts running through his head tell a different story. He could be sitting down, enjoying a nice cup of coffee; but in actuality, he's already planning how to blow up the coffee shop with the appliances inside. If a car happens to pass by, he'd break down the procedure in his head to get the biggest and most satisfying explosion from the automobile.

It was no surprise that, with this disturbed mentality, Ryu was kicked out of his home. He set his teacher at school on fire during lunch break. It wasn't out of mental breakdown, though - he had it all planned. The burning teacher ran from the cafeteria, setting off the fire alarms (which he had rigged) to pull the tripwires connected to the sprinklers on the ceiling. These tripwires set off his makeshift bombs hidden in the janitor's closet, and... you can probably guess the rest.

Ryu migrated from town to town, finally stumbling upon Theyerd. He interested Ryu and so Ryu decided to tag along with the man.
