+1 detective!

[detectivetroll]

Hi everyone! I'm Bri, and I'm brand new here. I've never played in an AU game before, but I've been stalking this one a bit and I'm really excited to play here!

I'm bringing in Nick Burkhardt from Grimm! In his old life, he was a homicide detective who was also a descendant of the original brothers Grimm. Grimms are basically assassins, people who have the ability to see the fairy tale creatures called Wesen that hide from everyone else, and then hunt down and kill them. Nick himself prefers to arrest them, and only go after the criminal ones, which apparently makes him the odd man out among his ancestors.

Here in Locke City, Nick is also a homicide detective! But this time he's boring, with no Wesen-hunting activities on the side. He's been here for a few years, so if there's any other police officers, or anyone who might have had dealings with the police (either through being arrested, being an informant or witness, anything) who want existing CR, that'd be awesome! And of course there's the usual cousins and neighbors and such that'd be great, too!

My plurk is brbsoulnomming, which is the best way to contact me, and I'd love to add anyone who wants!

Looking forward to playing with you all! :D

Hey, there! Welcome aboard! I'm, uhh, Nick and I play the local pickpocket/petty thief around here: Vanessa, formerly Vin of the Mistborn Trilogy. I'm a fan of the show too although way too far behind on it right now.

Like I said, Vanessa grew up as a street kid who made money by stealing. During her first Echo (being chased by terrifying monsters) she kind of... reacted poorly and ended up pushing a patrolman in pursuit of her off a fire escape so I'd be down for a plot around that if that's something you'd be interested in having Nick investigate. Anything to make my characters' lives harder.

Either way, welcome to the game!

Hi Nick! I've heard of the Mistborn series! It's on my list of things to read, I think I might have to bump it up.

Oh, man, that'd definitely be something I'd be interested in! If the patrolman was killed, Nick could easily be someone the case was assigned to, and even if he was just injured, Nick'd definitely be very interested in finding the person who did it. Right now he's really black and white about the law, so it'd be great to have to have him deal with extenuating circumstances like Echoes.

Thanks so much for the welcome!

I highly recommend it, it's one of my favorites.

I intentionally left exactly what happened to the cop up in the air in case it ever came back to haunt her so either one works. My app is loaded with Mistborn spoilers so the jist is that she got caught up in a robbery on a cash truck that went poorly that turned into a foot chase that went down an alley. She ended up making a getaway up the fire escape when her Echo hit, the cop grabbed her and she shoved him over the side acting purely on instinct. So, Nick would probably have a general description of her (female, caucasian, dark hair, around five feet tall). I'll add you on Plurk (Dr_Nicksano) or you can PM me if you want to hammer out any details.

Sounds good! Probably not just yet, since I want to give some time to get settled into the game and get introed, but I'm excited to have this to look forward to! I'll add you back and we can work it out as we go along. :D

Yep, of course! Vanessa's still just getting her feet in the door too so I wouldn't want to slam her with this right away either. No rush. We'll work it out.
