Yttermayn's Infractus Experiment OOC (recruiting closed)

[Yttermayn]

IC thread is up. I will add other character's intros as characters reach a level of understanding I am comfortable with. Gorge is close, Philip is a little behind him, and I know very little about Helfdan's character so far.

*Gleefully rubbing hands together* When may I start, Bossman?

 

[Yttermayn]

It's up, and Billy is the first character up, go ahead and go with it.

Voda: Great! Sound like Phil's wife really took not being able to have children hard, and then dumped all her maternal love and attention on the family wiener dog. Where's the rest of Phil's family? Does he have any connection to his in-laws?
Why is Phil still homeless? Why is he unable to get a job? How long ago did this all happen?

Philip was the only son and his parents died. The rest of the family tree were never acquittance to him.
Philip is homeless due to the huge debts he had contracted with the medical hospital in which his wife was in, and due to the costs of medication he needed to gave her.
Of course with so many debts, he is not selected for any job.
This happened 5 to 10 years ago, around his 30's.

That's good, but we need to work out some realism here... Debts alone don't make you homeless for long if you have it together mentally. Debts also don't prevent you from having a job. There is usually some kind of factor that keeps you from re-integrating into the workforce and finding a place to live. Take a look at this article and let me know what you think.
HowStuffWorks "How do People Become Homeless?"

 

[Voda Vosa]

The loss of a job, an illness, or another catastrophic event can quickly lead to missed rent or mortgage payments and ultimately, to eviction or foreclosure.

He could have really bad luck with jobs, and with no place to live and no money, your appearance quickly becomes rather unattractive to get a job. He might have some occasional employment, but not something legal.

 

[Scott DeWar]

The following question I still have yet to answer:

who is his family?
where are they?
Why is he in the US?
How did he gert here?

Is this correct, or are there other questions i need to answer?

 

[Yttermayn]

That sums it up, Scott, thanks!

Voda, I've started Phil out now.

 

[Scott DeWar]

still thimking on it, an trying to find a new place to live, and a new place to work. oh and a now tranportation device.

 

[Yttermayn]

Leif, let me know if anything in the description of the station sound wrong. I haven't got a clue what an actual broadcast room is set up like, and I will likely have to edit to make it more realistic. What is that room called, anyways?
