Calaveras: Adult Fiction Drama MU

I definitely get the sense that players are going to need to self-start their own stuff.
Just adding - if you're interested to join - there are player-run events basically every night the rest of the week.
The atmosphere on the game is really relaxed and collaborative. All the players I've talked to so far seem cool, so the OOC drama has been almost nil. The two staffers respond to stuff quickly but seem to be content to let players steer the RP with a few meta-breadcrumbs here and there.
It's still more fluff than substance, but - almost a month into it - things look promising.

Going to throw in my support for this place. The OOC community is fantastic and low-key/no drama. All the players are top tier RPers and are all engaged and fun to play with. I've yet to have a "bad" scene here.
As far as the fluff v. substance thing, I think that the players can fix that without issue.

For me, the line between fluff and substance is exceedingly thin.
But, then again, I do love me some Teen Titans Go.

We also all apparently really LOVE the heck out of Halloween.

Really there's no better time to join than RIGHT NOW! There's going to be at least one event a week through the entire month.
Bonus: We're all pretty awesome.

The question I want to ask is "What do you need?" but that is the wrong question from the looks of the game via so...
What role can I help fill? Is there a gap in something? Shortage of a type? An imbalance?
I am totally down to give this a try but...I'm lacking a spark.
(Also, is it a sausage fest or a clam bake? I like that relationship RP and I can play either gender but if'n you need more of one than the other....)

@goldfish I'm totally biased in that I'd like to see more medical people so we could do stuff at the hospital. But you probably couldn't go wrong making someone in law enforcement or a townie (basically people who own local businesses).
I feel like there are tons of female characters being made at the moment, but we do have some guys.

We have a lot of white hats, so a bad guy would be "novel," but might also kinda be stuck to get involved with all the super good guys on the grid. There are a couple of bad guys, and a couple of cops, though.
Right now, the medical/hospital-affiliated and local business owners are the most common character types.
(Also, is it a sausage fest or a clam bake? I like that relationship RP and I can play either gender but if'n you need more of one than the other....)
+census says it's 34 male to 26 female, but it's probably dependent on when you're online. It's not so heavily skewed one way or the other at the moment.
So, yeah. Probably doesn't help narrow it down a lot, but it is pretty wide open right now. I can tell you that the one thing we have a lot of are people that are taking care of an aging relative.

Bad guys would be good.
I play a bad guy.
Well, more a guy that's ambiguously bad. Y'know, good heart, bad deeds ... maybe bad heart, good deeds, I don't know, depends who you ask.
AMBIGUITY.

I'm working on a Mike type from Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul. Hoping to have him approved tonight or tomorrow.

A bad guy...
That is something I've never done. How do you even do that? How can you be an asshole AND get people to play with you. (I mean, I've seen it but I can't figure it out.)

Have you played the game The Last of Us? You're the bad guy.

Enh, it's not necessarily being an asshole.
A likable money launderer. A con-man posing as a businessman. On the run for armed robbery and trying to stay below the radar. Et cetera.

I'm thinking I might make a barrel racer (rodeo) but I need a little something to connect to the outside world too. Anyone want a connection, feel free to hit me up via pm.

I really have no follow-up, but that deserved a quote.

Why does that sound so familiar?

Well, just because you're a bad guy doesn't mean you're an asshole. A bad guy is just someone with goals different to the 'good' guys.
