(oooh yeah if you could fill me in on what you've envisioned for Tom and Sherlock, before I get busy brainstorming, that would be great haha)

For Sawyer, it's the basic LXG story. He joined an early version of the American FBI after his adventures as a child, being the great marksman he was, and sailed on over to Europe when he heard that international collapse was abound. Not too hard to follow of a story, and offers a lot of wiggle room for other plot ideas.

Sherlock is more complicated. After his friends and partners in crime solving and in secret marriage, John and Mary Watson, are killed in a mysterious fire, Sherlock decides to become hell bent on revenge. He is not aware of Moriarty and has not met the man at this point. However, he discovers a criminal underworld run by a J.M., so when a mysterious figure calling himself M. offering answers about this J.M. in exchange for help in his saving the world, Sherlock reluctantly agrees if only to get his information and leave afterwards. A bit more complicated, but I'm leaving a bit of room for character customization. The fire happened about a month before meeting M., and the meeting of the League is a month after the invitation. I'd also thought Sherlock could be trans in this version and be carrying John's unborn child but I decided that I'd leave that up to you to decide on if you wanted more or less drama included.

Alright then! Tbh I am a little busy atm, but since it’s almost the weekend I think I’ll be fine. The Invisible Man and Mina Murray look the most appealing to me!

If you want both, take them!

As for TIM and Mina, their stories differ a bit.

The Invisible Man, or TIM for short, is actually a thief who discovered the original formula for the Invisibility serum. He drank it, and suddenly-invisible! Great for stealing. But at a price. He couldn't turn back after long term use of the serum, but a mysterious M. offered him a cure if he helped with the mission. Also, the Invisible Man doesn't have to be a man per se, that's just what he was in the original.

Mina's story follows the events of Dracula. However, before she can become Mina Harker, Jonathan Harker is brutally murdered by Dracula, and his heart is eaten. In revenge, Mina kills Dracula and drinks his blood, giving her Jonathan's soul back and sending it on to the afterlife instead of eternal torment as well as the souls of all of Dracula's other victims, but for a price. She herself becomes a vampire, the one thing she hates most in the world. She and Van Helsing search for a cure, but come up with nothing. After Van Helsing tries to kill her, she flees, and hides out in Dracula's old castle, only going out to feed on humans. Eventually she gets bored, and meets Dorian Gray, another immortal, and they swap immortality secrets, kill people together, all that great immortal gal pals stuff. Eventually Mina realizes she's become the monster she always hated, and leaves Dorian. But eventually, she and he meet again when M. calls them both to help save the world.

ooooh so it's been two months since the fire, then? If I'm reading the timeline correctly? Orrrr just one? I really like the idea of Sherlock being trans and carrying John's kid (plus what if he didn't know? And the symptoms start showing up and he's like "what the fuck")

It's been two months time-wise, and if you want to go with that I sure ain't stopping you! I did think that might have been a bit much but also imagine the League raising Sherlock's kid together and just all being the worst parents but also the best parents because they're all a lil fruity so it's cool.

Deleted user

Ooo yes! The best worst parents ehe

Like they're chaotic but also really just genuinely want the best for the kid.

Deleted user

Dang I’m already imagining all the angst and trauma Mina’s harboring dxnkxkj like she’s afraid of hurting everyone else-

Yeah… mwa. ha. ha.

Deleted user

Idk i just like the drama of it all lmao but I think I'm gonna go with that

Cool, let's do it then!

@ElderGod-Icefire

also dude. this is Sherlock's kid. the kid is probably smart as fuck and can also get away with anything?? "Well auntie mina said I can have a cookie so :P"

Deleted user

Honestly since the only roles that are left are Quartermain, Nemo, and Jekyll/Hyde I might just scoop those up for myself so this could be an awkward three person RP where I play too many people lmao unless y'all want to take another character? I'm just being dumb.

I can take Nemo, so that there's a bit more of an even balance character wise?

@Tired-but-passionate

Actually I made a new character recently and I kinda want to use them for this? They’re name is Efraim and they’re selectively mute, so I think it would be funny if they were also invisible. Like everyone is talking about stuff and Efraim chimes in and everyone freaks out because they’ve been silent this whole time and no one can see them

:D are we gonna do temps or just jump in or?

Which do y'all prefer?

i would kind of like temps, even if they're just really small ones?

I could take Quartermain? But I’m also not familiar with them so it’s okay if you just want to play them Orion
