[PS3]Grand Theft Auto V - Role Play Events

[Aesthetics]

Might as well give this a try on the weekends. I just don't know if my internet can handle gaming too much though.

In Character (IC)
Name: Christopher Wang
Age: 29
Job/Career/Money Source:Unemployed
Bio (description of your characters past, present, and future goals): A graduate of Bullworth Academy in 2008 (do I get bonus points?) with a major in Fine Arts. Chris moved to Carcer City in 2013 following a job offer to become an art teacher. That school, and his home, were burnt down by arsonists on his second day. Left with nothing, he moved into his parent's house in Los Santos looking for new employment. Unfortunately, there's only so many jobs you're qualified for with an Art Degree. Chris was truly desperate for any source of decent income.

Personality(Angry, depressed, obsessive, etc): Formally a very patient man, Chris's fuse has ran out, unleashing years of bottled up anger from endless tormenting, almost to the point where he would be considered a 'menace to society'. Basically, just think of a hipster Trevor. Also, he likes Chicken McNuggets. Especially in sweet'n'sour sauce. (My Personal favorite)

Name: Bryan Griffiths
Age: 46
Job/Career/Money Source: Used to be a top Lawyer, but is now retired and runs a towing buisness.
Bio (description of your characters past, present, and future goals): Bryan Griffiths spent most of his childhood at home by himself, would only come out when he was needed to, while he was by himself he would dream of being a astronaut. But then reality hit and he studied to be a Lawyer, which he hated to death but it got him a pretty hefty paycheck. He then spent most of his money on stocks, which as it turned out, got him hundreds of thousands back, all because of some stocks given to him from a guy he helped in a lawsuit.

After 25 years working for "Don't get screwed ltd", he quit and settled down in Vinewood, where he decided to spend his time on his passion, cars and anything automotive, he has opened up his own tuning shop, Hoonigan Tuning LTD, and has his own successful race team run from his workshop in la Mesa, just off popular street under the on ramp for the highway. The race team, Hoonigan racing, has a variety of cars in different events, such as Drifting, Bike racing and Touring cars. He used nearly all his stock profits setting up the team, but he does not care as he keeps himself busy so he does not have to worry about any money issues that may occur.
He currently drives a mix of cars bought with his race team winnings, including a Dubster, Sabre, Cognoscenti Cabrio and his Sport bike, the PCJ600. He currently lives by himself in his house up in Banham Canyon as he had no interest of finding someone to love, and he did not believe anyone would. Plus no one liked his eating habit over chicken nuggets...

Personality (Angry, depressed, obsessive, etc): A very calm guy but can be agitated easily over certain subjects.

Altered Erin's bio ever so slightly. She now drives a Dakar-spec Karin Rebel, not a Vapid Sandking XL.

Seems like a lot of people's characters don't go to college - nice to see it. Also, sweet and sour sauce is extremely tasty. Thank you so much for making me hungry.

Ah, Aston! I was hoping you'd hop in. Of course it's fine to spend some time getting to know and mess about when online opens - I'm thinking about the first two days I'll put off hosting an even just to do that myself.

I like the Rebel more anyway

I also finally made my character if anyone wants to give it a read. Also, today I am sending friend invites to all the members so I can invite all of you to the lobbies and chat room when RPing.

In Character (IC)

Name: Zachary "ZDUPH" Duphily

Age: 28

Job/Career/Money Source: Taxi Driver

Bio (description of your characters past, present, and future goals): I was born in Vice City in 1985. I graduated from college in 2001 with a degree in Criminal Justice, however I couldn't find any work. In December of 2001, I moved to Los Santos to start a new life. I eventually picked up a job in 2003 as a taxi driver, and have been helping people get to and from places since then. I also managed to purchase a used dark blue Vapid Stanier with around 130k on the odometer. In my free time (usually on weekends) I enjoy a relaxing round of golf with a few friends from college, as well as a drink or two at Tequi-la-la. On other days I'll take my dog Ricky for a walk around my street and play fetch with him in the dog park. Did I mention that I like chicken nuggets? And no, not the processed bull they sell you at Cluckin' Bell, I mean real genuine chicken nuggets made from scratch!

Personality (Angry, depressed, obsessive, etc): I'm usually a laid-back kinda guy. I have no reason to be angry. Anger causes unnecessary stress, and can lead to problems in the future.

 

[Katiegan]

I like the Rebel more anyway

Me too. I also realised it was pretty unrealistic having a redneck in a trailer owning a fancy brand new Sandking... a rusty ol' Rebel seemed more appropriate. Also, once I found out you could convert the rusty Rebel to either a Dakar truck or Baja truck, I thought it'd be an instant match for Erin with her off-road racing background.

GTA V Online is now out - I'll give us a day or two to make your characters and get used to the online. Expect an event most on the third.

Edit: The GTA Online servers are maxed out. Not sure how long it will be until there is wiggle room. I have yet to join a room by myself, so it's pretty packed. Event might have to be moved as far a week, possibly. In the mean time, I'll be sending friend requests to the people who have joined so I can invite you when there is in fact a lobby.

Edit 2: darren200cook, your privacy settings on PSN is restricting me from allowing me to send you a friend invite for future lobby invites.

 

[Beav]

I'd like to have a go at this. I think I'll play the online for a couple days and then come back and apply.

 

[Vince]

Sounds good. Of course, only if you can get into the online lobbies. They are all failing from capacity.

 

[Volchelkin]

Capacity? I thought there was just something wrong with GTA Online, seeing as the only way I can go online is through the solo option, and that freezes up when I get the car delivered to me right after the introduction cutscene.

Yay! You're back on GTP!

That happened to me in a private lobby with myself.

From nowgamer.com:

Although it's a little inconsistent, you can still access GTA Online beyond the character creator screen if you set up a solo session. Which is more… GTA Offline than Online we suppose but it'll do until the servers sort themselves out or Rockstar advise a better way of getting around the problem.

I assumed it was capacity, typically for the millions of players.

 

[Volchelkin]

Well, it isn't working. Oh well, I suppose i'll just mess around with the singleplayer for a while.

 

[Vince]

Bad thing is, so little news on developed on it right now. I don't know if this will take a few hours or a few days. I was able to make my character and what not, but that's about it.

 

[Volchelkin]

I don't think it's going to work at all today, but i'd say they'll have it fixed tomorrow. If not, then in a couple of days. Well, I hope that's how long it takes to fix it, GTA Online looks awesome.

Do you actually have anything roleplay-related to post or are you just going to keep cluttering the thread up with unrelated posts?

I will try and join when I can come up with a character ok? Leave me alone. I believe I am allowed to post one or two things to friends on here.

Why not wait until you've created a character to post, and why not post your unrelated stuff on your friends' walls?

Dont even have GTA V at the minute. Hopefully getting it on the 18th. Kind of a placeholder. Character may change in the future. Thanks.

Denied. You are missing a vital part of your application and your bio is way to short than expectations (which are pretty low as it is).

Please re-read the rules, edit your application and try again.

I'm going to do a little more testing with online today - last attempt of me trying to get online I, as well as a few other friends, got stuck on a loading screen. Again, no events until I can say everything is stable enough/Working properly.

Are you stuck on the loading screen after the introduction race? Because that loading screen took about an hour, but after it's done it'll work just fine. Just keep trying until you finish the race and entertain yourself with something for a while. That's how I did it anyway.

No, I didn't even get to race. It just was "waiting for other players" after the Lamar cutscene when I enter the car.

We should either take this to a PM or the GTA Online thread.

I think they've fixed it. I got an update. I lost all my progress but it's working really smoothly now.

 

[Vince]

Online seems to be pretty stable now - added events and hopefully we can get this started strong.

 

[Volchelkin]

Ah. This might be a problem. I think the time in California is 8 hours behind Ireland, so I may only be able to join a couple of events.

In Character (IC)

Name: Cameron Burnett
Age: 24
Job/Career/Money Source: Life Invader Programmer

Bio (description of your characters past, present, and future goals): Cameron went through a relatively decent childhood. He grew up in Vinewood Hills with one brother and a sister. He grew up with fairly strict parents, so he certainly wasn't out doing drugs or partying. He was rather staying home doing homework, or doing chores. His father was a business man, and his mother didn't work. He graduated high school. He wasn't at the top of his class, but he certainly wasn't dumb. He went on to play college baseball at the University of Los Santos. The coaches believed he had a real shot at becoming a professional baseball player, but then he had a career ending shoulder injury. He couldn't play anymore. So, he finished up college with no hope of playing the sport he loves any longer. He took on a technology major in college. After he finished college, he decided to put in an application at Lifeinvader. Suprisingly enough, he was accepted. He makes a decent living working as a technology programmer with his best friend - Randy Fisher. He is single at the moment and lives in a middle class home in West Vinewood. He usually drives an expensive sports car or a motorcycle.

Personality (Angry, depressed, obsessive, etc): Cameron is usually a pretty calm person. He's fairly easy-going and is friendly. He likes to help out others. He is pretty good with technology, but he really isn't a "nerd". He is also obsessed with his cars and motorcycles, so make sure you don't scratch them.

 

[Katiegan]

Uh, Beav...

He grew up in Vinewood Hills with one brother and a sister.

He was an only child

Wut?
