Hey everybody! This is Bookie, resident Demyx/Neku/creepy child Pharos, with her forth (sob) character. This is Melissa Lyre, a tabletop character from World of Darkness (specifically, played in Hunter: The Vigil and then used as an NPC in Vampire: The Requiem). She was a cop turned monster hunter turned vampire. It was an... interesting game.

Here, she's still a cop, but not the nice type. Melissa here is the game's first altered PC cop, meaning she's sworn loyalty to Sherman and she is about as happy to be in the Numbers Club as I'm sure all your characters are going to be to have her. So that'll be interesting.

I'm also totally up for pre-network CR! There are two main ways you'd know her: if you're a cop, Melissa is a sargent with a reputation for working her ass of all the time and being willing to take on the cases nobody else wants. On the clock, she's very serious business, but anyone who's worked with her in any capacity knows that she's a hell of a lot of fun to go out drinking with it. She's also been involved a lot in helping out ThunderCorp with their various PR issues.

The other main route is if your character is at all involved in the nightlife of Locke City. Melissa gets around quiiiite a bit, so if you would like to assume your characters has had a one night stand with her that's fine. Her conditions are that they be reasonably attractive and find her to be super hot. (Also to not be a co-worker, because... that's a little too awkward for her.) Otherwise, feel free to just recognize her as someone who frequents a lot of bars and clubs.

ANYWAY I AM SUPER LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS. :')

I AM PICTURING SO MANY SHENANIGANS

[stopinthenameofawe]

SO GODDAMN MANY.

[dead_black_eyes]

PICK ME PICK ME

...for previous CR, that is!

L is known to the police folks as that wild-eyed, weird guy who spent three years in a mental ward and tried to apply for a job as a detective a few years ago. Sherman wasn't officially in working in Locke City yet, I don't think, but he was consulted about L and was like "LOL nope". He was the meanest about it, and even the nice cops shrugged and said "sorry, man, it's just not doable."

He had a perfect score on the competence exam, but failed personality and interview very, very badly.

He had a huge grudge against Sherman even before the Numbers Club, in other words.

[stopinthenameofawe]

Oh excellent! Melissa was probably one of the nicer ones about it, but... yeah. sorry dude but you're kind of weird.

[dead_black_eyes]

Yeaaaah he's... he's so special.

Hell of a good detective, though, you are all going to be so sorry you didn't hire him once he's had more echoes, OK.

[wirsinddiejager]

OH SNAP

[stopinthenameofawe]

ARE YOU READY FOR THIS.

[wirsinddiejager]

SO VERY READY

I hope you don't mind being yelled at a lot, Melissa.

SHERMANBUDDY COPS GET THE FUCK OUT

[stopinthenameofawe]

NO YOU i don't know how to make the font big.

[drama8om8]

slipping "big" in html tags a few times is the laziest way to do it

I mean GRRR LEAVE THIS PLACE ETC ETC RAGE FUSS SHRIEK

[centurian]

I'M STILL SUPER NEW BUT...

Gerald's an FBI agent who just arrived back in town to investigate rumours of corrupt businesses in Locke City. His presence is known to the police and I'm sure that he'll be meeting with them face to face to discuss all sorts of great mutual cooperation and the like so yeah. :|b

[stopinthenameofawe]

Sure! Melissa may have easily been around during those, since she's one of the people on the force who doesn't habitually stick her foot in her mouth.

[centurian]

HE STILL WANTS TO TRUST THE SYSTEM OK.

Tell me you're not a corrupt cop. ;o;

[loveyoubaby]

Pre-network cop CR you say. Max here tends to flounce through the station as obnoxiously as possible whenever he's not out patrolling or something so he may have bugged the piss out of her at some point perhaps~?

[stopinthenameofawe]

Oh goodness. XD SORT OF DEPENDS WHEN HE CAUGHT HER she'd either find him hilarious or annoying. probably annoying if she's trying to work.

[loveyoubaby]

He'd probably do something like that when he knows people are trying to buckle down and get shit done. That's how he rolls.

[ursoreckless]

Shou here is a nightclub/party boy that is known to be A- super easy on the eyes, B- trolling people in the fact that he sees nothing wrong with dressing as girly as possible in a visual kei kinda way, and C- having the capacity of drinking a fair amount of booze before hitting the 'fu grrr' temper of his, which results in some nasty fights. Usually though he doesn't hit that phase until he goes through a super giggly and super mellow phase first.

[stopinthenameofawe]

Oh my god they should just hang out drinking all the time. Melissa would super approve of trolling and also is not above good bar fight, though she will pull out the whole 'cop' thing if it gets too far.

[earnedmystripes]

Oho. SHALL WE PRE-CR?

Kotetsu started withdrawing from all his coworkers around April, but maybe they were casual friends/acquaintances beforehand? Kotetsu's been on the force 15 years and is kind of a notorious workaholic himself xD

they could totally have gone drinking together sometime too :'D

[stopinthenameofawe]

I can totally have seen them being friends. She would have been concerned about him withdrawing, too, so she could have checked in on him and asked if he was feeling ok and stuff.

[detectivetroll]

OH MAN I'm so excited for this!!

HI I have Nick here, who has also sworn loyalty to Sherman! (except he was totally lying. Shh.)

BUT YES he's a homicide detective, as well as the homicide department supervisor, and he is really similar to her about on the clock and off the clock stuff! He's a workaholic, so he's tended to be on the clock more than off for the most part, but he's also a hell of a lot of fun to drink with when he does.

As far as Sherman goes, Nick joined up with him back in November, and I think so far he's made about half of the arrests of Numbers Club people? He isn't altered himself, but he can tell who is and generally with what.

Iiii would totally love to plot some CR stuff, either pre or post Sherman or both, if you're willing!

[stopinthenameofawe]

ME TOO though oh my god it's getting kind of hard to find ways for her to reply to people bitching her out. XD

Ooooh sounds like they should be buddies. :D Melissa probably liked him before joining up with Sherman anyway- she's probably been on that team since September-ish. And Melissa literally JUST got altered so he wouldn't have seen her that way in work yet, but sooooon.

and yes all the plotting let's do this. :D If you want to look up at Nick's thread I summed up some general info about her that Nick could know (though depending on how good friends they wind up being, it could be more idk).

[spellfire]

so hey

helene here is a bonafied gangster since teenagers

wanna say that they encountered eachother once or twice? Probably Helene getting away either by the skin of her teeth or by it being one of her earlier offenses and she got off easy? Because I'm going off the idea that she's never been in juvie.

[stopinthenameofawe]

Sure, that sounds good! :D Neither probably knows a heck of a lot about the other (except 'cop' and 'gangster') but at least recognition.
