Name: LOLLI qAq Player Character: La Llorona Number: 9 [quote=”LOLLI qAq”][/quote] ___________________________________ Character Name: Moneypenny Character Role: Their Dutiful Child: Moneypenny, a nervous child with big, somber eyes, is Pennybags made over. The poor kid shoulders more responsibility than a child should have and is constantly looked over by Clementine in favor of Cutie Honey. Quiet and shy, Moneypenny doesn’t really open up to anybody. Could the poor kid finally have snapped? Or was it just obvious that Grandpa needed to be gone for Daddy to be happy?

Name: EchoLimaFoxtrot Player Character: Spear Mint Number: 6 [quote=”EchoLimaFoxtrot”][/quote] ___________________________________ Character Name: Whizbang Character Role: The colonel: A weak-spined, rather timid paper pusher, Whizbang has never seen combat and is a talented desk jockey. He comes from a long line of war hawks but has never lived up to his father or grandmother’s standards; he’s something of a coward and always has been- including during his college days, where he roomed with Moneybags. The two were never friends; far from it, they were bitter rivals, with Moneybags largely outshining his pablum roomie. The two have stayed awkwardly in touch their entire adult lives; Whizbang stood at weddings one and three, and Moneybags was at the party when Whizbang got his last promotion. But Colonel Whizbang was always jealous of his half-friend, and made no attempt to hide his bitterness.

Name: thyPOPE Player Character: Love's Lemma Number: 13 [quote=”thyPOPE”][/quote] ___________________________________ Character Name: Pennybags Character Role: The Dutiful Son: Pennybags has put up with a lot from his father. His childhood wasn’t easy; his father was largely absent, and his mother much the same. Their marriage was troubled, and Pennybags was the responsible child. Never takings risks, never straying from the path set out for him, marrying well- and hopefully standing to inherit his father’s business and fortune. But when his sister returned and his father welcomed her home with open hooves, Pennybags felt his resentment growing. She had been gone and he had done everything- and when his father mentioned redrafting the will, he panicked. What if everything went to her? It would be just like the old man! But would he kill him to prevent this?

Name: Biblioburro Player Character: Burro Number: 5 [quote=”Biblioburro”][/quote] ___________________________________ Character Name: Steelyard Rumble Character Role: The captain of industry: Decidedly new money, Steelyard comes from a family of hard workers and strong backs. Climbing their way through the social ranks, Steelyard has never fit into the upper echelons of the elite, and Moneybags’s view of the noveau riche was well known. Recently, Steelyard lost a nomination to the Auxiliary Board of the Metropolitan Opera- and it was no secret who the loudest voice against them was.

Could her investigations have gone wrong? Did something happen?

Name: Aric Val Player Character: Cremebunny Number: I think I"m the last one! [quote=”Aric Val”][/quote] ___________________________________ Character Name: Checked Cheque Character Role: The business partner: Moneybags’ long time partner and ostensibly best friend. The two lived very similar lives- big houses, big business, small families. They were partners in many ventures and startups and invested very similarly. The difference, of course, is that Checked Cheque is alive, while Moneybags is dead. While he claims to have been visiting friends in his hometown of Prague, the convenience of his timing is suspicious.

Name: Fea Line Player Character: Caramelldansen Number: 5[quote=”Fea Line”][/quote] ___________________________________ Character Name: See You Later, Delegator Character Role: The Right Hand Man: Every good business mogul needs a lackey- somebody to stand there and say "Yes sir," and "Let me get that, sir," and "I'll make sure it's done, sir." Del has been this for Moneybags for many years now, and they are very good at their job- which is basically getting other people to do work that Moneybags doesn't want to do. The two were extremely close, and Del, a temperamental hothead who can be explosive at times, could be almost jealously possessive of their employer.

Name: Tristam Lockhart Player Character: Barley Pop Number: 2 [quote=”Tristam Lockhart”][/quote] ___________________________________ Character Name: Brass Tacks Character Role: The Lost Motorist: Brass Tacks wasn't expecting things to go like this. Tonight was supposed to be a night of celebration! He and his fianceé were returning from a friend's wedding, after which they had gotten engaged themselves. They had planned to make a detour to meet up with some friends, but then the storm started. The car broke down not too far from the Moneybags place, and so the two of them braved the rain to seek shelter, only to find that the house's owner is a murder victim and his will is being read. Tonight has been awkward, to say the least- especially because this might mean that both Brass Tacks and his fianceé are out of a job, as both of them worked for one Moneybags' companies.

Name: shortcutt Player Character: Banana Creme Number: 7 [quote=”shortcutt”][/quote] ___________________________________ Character Name: Objection! Character Role: The Corporate Lawyer: As a corporate lawyer, Objection! has a strong love-hate relationship with everyone in this room. Their bread and butter has been protecting Moneybags and his holdings from lawsuits, and they are deeply concerned that somebody with a less rigorous business acumen will inherit. The logical thing to do would be to leave everything to Checked Cheque and a couple of other board members, but no, he had to get his family involved. Objection! has a serious objection to the potential of one of the children getting the company- or worse, the younger daughter who reeks of patchouli and socialist tendencies. They are outright dismissive of any of the non-corporate interests in the room. It's not that they're conceited, mind- it's that they are legitimately concerned for a business regimen that has taken decades and millions to properly build up. Especially with the recent troubles, things have been looking up for Objection!- with Moneybags' death, things have been thrown into chaos. There's been a lot of work and it has paid well, but the kind of work that would happen if somebody unworthy was to inherit... Objection! doesn't want to think about that.

Name: catmagick Player Character: Cat Number: 8 [quote=”catmagick”][/quote] ___________________________________ Character Name: Printing Press Character Role: The Reporter: Press is a young investigative journalist, hoping to make it big with a series of exclusive interviews with Moneybags. Their original plan was to talk about his life and business developments, but after uncovering a slew of ethical quagmires, the report is looking more and more like an indictment of a terrible person. A week ago, Moneybags found out what the reporter was really getting at and threw them out- and then soon after, he had died. Despite the reporter being a relative stranger, they've seen more of Moneybags recently than most and are aware that he had been acting quite erratic before his death, going on about secrets and lies. When summoned by the old man's lawyer, Printing Press was quite nervous- they feared it was a vicious libel suit in the making. They are as surprised as anybody could be to find out that it was a will reading.

Name: VerityHattress Player Character: Holly Mistletide Number: 6 [quote=”VerityHattress”][/quote] ___________________________________ Character Name: Sea Major Character Role: The Opera Singer: A famous soprano with the Metropolitan Opera, Sea Major knew Moneybags from his role in the boardroom and from socializing at cast parties and after-show soirees. He was extremely fond of the charming young mare, and the rumor was that he'd wanted to get to know her in private life- which in this case only meant one thing. She hadn't been interested and had been avoiding him for months- even though he'd not yet made any advances, she knew that scandal could ruin a career and wanted to n** that in the bud. Sea Major is very keen to society's games and rules and is eager to come out on top. In the operas she loves so much, backstabbing is part of nearly every plot; while music is her passion, maintaining her position is a very close second. If Moneybags was getting to be a problem, how far would she go to eliminate that problem?

Name: Ruriska Player Character: Shrill X Number: 3 [quote=”Ruriska”][/quote] ___________________________________ Character Name: Edelweiss Character Role: The Lost Motorist’s Fiancée: Edelweiss is a timid, sweet mare who just wanted to show her friends her diamond ring and her charming, charming fiancé. She loves Brass Tacks more than you could imagine; their relationship is quite sweet and touching. She has eyes only for him, and she certainly never slept with her company's CEO in the backroom when they were both completely hammered at a Christmas party ten years ago, no sir. Why, hearing something like that might shatter Brass Tacks' image of her! It might ruin their wedding and their perfect relationship! Naturally she was a little concerned to stop by his house, but when she found out he was dead... she certainly breathed a little easier. Was it an honest sigh of relief, or was it part of a much bigger act?

Name: ~Twilight...Angel~ Player Character: Myself, Twilight Number: 9[quote=”~Twilight...Angel~”][/quote] ___________________________________ Character Name: Saddlebags Character Role: The Long Lost Cousin: A rancher from out near Dodge Junction, Saddlebags doesn't have much in common with Moneybags- and never has. The two knew each other as children brought to family functions, but that was it. A countrified sweetie with a gentle, kind heart, Saddlebags is a trusting soul who would never hurt a fly. It's odd that they're in town, though... what have they been doing in this part of the world? Is it just coincidence that they were on hand around the time of Moneybags's death?

Name: Byagane319 Player Character: Honeysuckle Number: 10 [quote=”Byagane319”][/quote] ___________________________________ Character Name: Horsefeathers Character Role: "The Long Lost Cousin": Horsefeathers claims to be another long-lost cousin and has been traveling with Saddlebags, who has been extremely happy to meet another member of their family. However, Horsefeathers isn't a family member at all, but rather a con artist playing the long con. The original attempt was to try to sidle some of Saddlebags's family's land out from under them and then sell it off to a developer, but this Moneybags situation has cast a whole new light on things. Ever since Horsefeathers first made the connection between the two a few months ago, they have been trying harder than ever to get a slice of that pie. They are sneaky and underhanded and very very good at seeming innocent and friendly- they've been in the con game for a long time and have yet to be caught.
