Description
Full Name: Beauregard Marshal (Bo)Age: 32
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 250
Strengths: Bo has a strict daily training regimen to keep himself in top-form. He's decapitated men with his FISTS, though he prefers to talk his way out of things. With a max endurance stat, he can take quite a beating, and dish one out twice as bad. As somewhat of a desert ranger by default, he knows how to survive both in the wasteland and among the crowds.
Weaknesses: He's only human, of course. Despite his massive endurance stat, Bo's tendency towards diplomacy and unarmed has earned him a few bullet holes. He won't hit first, and while that alone can land him in a lot of trouble, he sometimes has difficulty ceasing his attacks once he’s reached his breaking point, which can also leave him vulnerable. And unfortunately for Bo, he is lacking in the perception and agility departments, which puts him at an even bigger disadvantage against long-ranged weapons;
Fighting Style: If talking things out doesn't work, he deals unarmed damage. Charging in, if need be, and obliterating threats!
Weapon of Choice: Spiked Knuckles, Deathclaw Gauntlet, or his bare fists.
Personality: The mild-mannered Beauregard has his own set of moral codes to which he strictly adheres. Being rational and courteous, he prefers diplomacy to violence, but can certainly hold his own if need be. Bo tries very hard to help others, though he shows no mercy to the wicked. That said, he also has a brutal survivalist streak, and while he tends to be very patient, it's not wise to anger him. He usually waits for the first strike, before attacking full-force.
Bo makes a point to avoid discrimination beyond playful ribbing; He doesn’t care who or what you are, so long as you’ve got heart.
While he is intelligent, he isn't nearly as observant as he should be, considering his nomadic nature, nor is he very graceful. Still, he's made it this far being a polite guy with the fists of a supermutant! (Or so they say.)
Brief Bio: Beauregard was born in the southwest to Kenneth Marshal, a second-generation Desert Ranger, and Desiree Forrest, a former vault dweller. They raised him as well as a child could be raised in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, though he learned very quickly that there were many evils in the world, and that people needed protecting. While his parents were strong and charitable, the wastes are especially unforgiving to the kind, and they died when Bo was in his early teens. He soon set out to make his fortune, and spread it around as best as he could. A few years after his father's death, he returned to his childhood settlement and retrieved his father's Desert Ranger uniform. Though he does not consider himself a part of any faction, the uniform, as well has his mother's old Pip-boy, serve as connections to his family, and to his own principles.
Because he was helpful and well-mannered, Bo rarely had trouble earning honest caps, and he had little trouble keeping them from thieves and raiders, being anything but a pushover. That isn’t to say that he hasn’t run into danger; More than once, he’s been beaten to a pulp and shot in the gut, but he always bounces back. Will he be so fortunate this time around?
(This is my first OCT, so let me know if there's anything I should work on, or if you have any tips to share!)

Of course I am! I'm just waiting for at least one application to be posted before I continue mine, because this is my first OCT. u__u I feel like... oh man I think Bo would be easily fooled by yours, not just because she's very smart, but because he would feel terrible about catching and hurting her, if he found himself able to!! She's so yittle compared to him. @v@ HE'D DEFS GET SOME LEAD IN THE GUT I TELL YA.
Although if she really gives him a reason to hurt her, he'd feel less guilty about it hehehe. EXPERIMENTING ON PEOPLE? SOUNDS VILLAINOUS!

haha cool. You shouldn't wait too long though, since time is sorta running out.
Say.... I'm looking for a roommate for Lori. You up for the task? It would of course mean that we would end up drawing eachother's character in between rounds, but if we don't end up fighting in round 1 we could really build up to an awesome showdown. Whaddya say?

True fact! I've already sketched a few pages out heheh!
Oooh, maybe! I suppose it depends on whether or not that stuff is set up by the game masters? How down are you with roleplaying? *v*

I guess I'm ok with roll playing, even though my character is a girl. Who cares if it's set up by the game masters. They said there were houses to live in, they probably like seeing competitors take things a step further.

I could tell this was a good character right away. The facial hair tipped me off! I doubt my character and him would get along, though--Bo doesn't look like the type to approve of cannibalism. If I'm lucky, perhaps someday they'll share a nice beatdown together.
OCTs aren't too hard, though you have to make sure to budget your time right. If you plan on doing a comic, DEFINITELY start early on it. I've seen OCTs where more people were dropped for not finishing than were dropped because their opponent's entry beat theirs. And be sure to set a level of quality that's actually possible to maintain (as in, if you have a busy life, don't plan on making every panel a beautiful fully shaded work of art. Flatcolor or grayscale will probably get the point across just fine).
Also, few things drag down the mood of an OCT like busting your butt on a nice entry only to have your opponent not turn anything in at all, so if you find the deadline approaching and your entry unfinished, cobble together the rest of it in rough sketches or writing. Something rough will still give you a better chance at victory than missing the deadline all together, and it helps the spirits of the participants to see entries (even unfinished/unpolished ones) getting turned in!

AW GOLLY, thanks! No way dude, cannibalism is a CRIME AGAINST NATURE but sh it's okay we've all had rough patches in our life it can be forgiven. Aka he would want to encourage Frank to be good and accepting because ~*~*all you need is love*~*~ I do hope they can go toe-to-toe! 10 ENDURANCE OH MAN!
Also, thanks for the advice! I'm hoping that this starts around winter break, so then I'll have all the time! I'm trying to think of a good way to do this, whether it's full-colored comics, a certain style, etc. I'm also really wary of "playing" as other peoples' characters. I'm used to play-by-post roleplaying, as opposed to the (what I assume is) standard oct way of writing and drawing out the sequences for both characters. So we'll see! Maybe it will end up being a mix of both?

Skittycat In reply to Vusnax [2012-09-27 04:48:03 +0000 UTC]
Haha, hearing something like that Frank would probably just brand him as a FILTHY HIPPY. He's not much for lovin'.
A fight to see who's slightly more stubborn and can go slightly longer without passing out from blood loss and exhaustion? I'd enjoy that! I figure Frank would get a few shots off, but Bo would close the distance and beat him down in a fist fight. From there it would just be a question of whether Bo would bleed out before he knocked Frank unconscious.
Winter break seems likely, unless the deadline gets pushed back. I'm hoping it won't, as there's already been a pretty good amount of interest. Group's only been open what, a little less than a week?
It's a good idea to do these with a style that's a little quicker/more simple than your usual one. Comics ALWAYS end up being more work than you think they'll be. Don't worry about "playing" other people's characters, though--it's not a big deal if you get someone's character a little "wrong," people go into OCTs expecting that. And if your opponent's character sheet doesn't give you enough to work with to write the character right... well, whose fault is that?
