Ducktown recruitment
You know the comics, you’ve seen the shows, rewound the videotapes and perhaps visited the rides. But you have never experienced Disney like this. I welcome you to a world dark and real. I challenge you to take the silly out of the symphony: this is your chance to explore the dark side of your heroes.
The setting: This game will begin in a mature Ducktown. Where it will go from there is something that remains unkown. This is not the Ducktown you know. It is a place where happiness is sought but rarely found. Think Sin City or Gotham. Think pitch black back-alleys and giant corporations. Think criminality and unfairness. In short: think survival.
The rules: This will be a freeform game, since I have no real need to limit your imagination. In fact, I urge you to be as creative in shaping this world as you can be.
The characters: you can pick anybody from the Disney Universe as long as it adds to the realism. Ducktown is not a lovely place, so if you want to be Tinkerbell in her joyful, fairydust spraying cuddle mode, you’ve missed the point. Neverland is out of reach, motherF…
A note on the maturity of this game: sex and violence are part of life, but this is a message board accessible for children. Especially a Disney game might give the wrong idea. Therefore I urge you all to keep the graphicness to a level acceptable for a broader audience. Swearwords will be partially bleeped, as the example above. People will get the point.
The story: Magica the Spell is after Scrooge’s number one Dime again. The players will be hired into Scrooge’s service to prevent her evil schemes.
So, now it’s time to post your character proposal. I am very excited to see what you guys come up with.

Of three divided, Tempest remains.
I think I'm going to give into temptation and be Tempest (rename of Merryweather off of Sleeping Beauty).

hah
Tempest... nice catch. 
Grugg, if you don't have time then you know it's not going to happen, right? I know both the interest and the time-limitation are sincere, but the latter is a known problem (in general) which sank games before. You should only be a part of this, if you can BE a part of this.

Getting ideas...
My incarnation of Merryweather as Tempest will probably be significantly different (looks and ability wise) than how she is in the movie. Growth will do that to a person, especially in a darker setting.
Will also probably be adding some background things to the Sleeping Beauty setting for Tempest's background. Nothing that changes the movie though.
Speaking of background things... should I send it your way after I've figured it all out?

yes
Please do.
Changes made to characters to make them more complex or real or fitting to the setting are good. But you don't have to go into great detail. Finding out a lot about a character in-game is usually better.

also
I should also add that for character creation, the movies are your starting point. Like Reralae said: don't change the movie... all that stuff happened to the characters and is part of their past. What happened beyond the happy ever after is up to you.
And, if we can get enough people interested to get this going, please realize that this will be a roleplay heavy game, and not an excuse for me to torture you all and kill as many characters as I can. In other words: don't be afraid to give your guy/girl/duck/robot a few flaws here and there.

I don't understand GMs like this. You're SUPPOSED to torture them!

Partly wonder...
If people are hesitant to mess with their favourite fairytales or similar 
Celeste seemed to have interest in the other thread but she's not around at the moment...
Also partly wonder if Kriea would have interest, but she's also involved with RL stuffs...
I'll see if I can poke Sib and see if he feels up for a 'noir' fairytale

Explanation of sorts
Hey Almerin
As much as I enjoy your adventures, there just did not seem to be a spark of creativity within me for this one!
I know it will be fun and challenging!
However, when Eol came up with a new game it just clicked with me and made more sense to play a Super Powered character!

I'd be interested and prob bring Maleficient to the table. She was a good evil one. Hehe

That'd cause problems...
Maleficent is killed (or as good as killed as it gets in cartoonland... though if you consider it, Sleeping Beauty is one of the ones Disney did that was less for children than after it remade itself) in the movie...
In addition, I'm kind of using the source of Sleeping Beauty, one of the key background elements I'm working with being about Maleficent =\\
Would appreciate it if you could pick another source.
