Seeing all these wonderful histories and storylines I thought I might write something up with Fireheart. It's more or less the same idea in any of the background roleplays I do, but hey you guys might find it interesting. Warning: I'm not at all a good writer so be gentle. Embarassed


Fireheart, can you email us, in the contact us section your membership information so we can check up on your Royal Status.

You'll also need to repost your avatar in the avatar description list.

It's nice to meet you, Fireheart btw.

In response to the discussion around here lately, I was actually pondering something on my way to REM sleep last night.

We don't know anything about Mary's mother (i.e. Simon's wife?) and Edelweiss seemed to have a fondness for Mary when she described the situation to Betty during that flashback to 1885 in Issue 2.

Again, this is purely speculation, but has anyone ever wondered whether Edelweiss could indeed be Mary's biological mother? I believe Edelweiss is a cat, right? That's neither here nor there, but why else would she have felt so close to Mary unless she had some kind of interaction with her? Makes me wonder if perhaps she and Simon had some kind of fling, and when Blue discovered Edelweiss's profession after theoretically giving birth to Mary, the two split up, and a few years later when both Betty and Mary were still young children, Edelweiss mysteriously disappeared. Simon perhaps refused to expose his newborn daughter to any of what he considered to be the debauchery of BonBon and so he shielded her from the outside world.

As I said, that is all pure speculation and probably farfetched though it is something I've given thought to. There are things that don't necessarily fit with that explanation and I'm sure some of you will be able to point them out, but I'm frankly too tired and lazy to think of them myself right now. Laughing


You guys were discussing about my theory about Mary's mother here?

You don't need an avatar to play with others.

The main reason I haven't been involved in any of the Role Playing over here is. . . I don't know. I prefer to sit down and work on them where I won't be distracted. I'm mostly only online when at work, and I get called away at work at any given moment. *sigh*

It is, unfortunately, all too easy to get burned out on role playing.

Wow. All these histories are really awesome. Makes me feel a little intimidated. I suppose I'll try to expand Vergil's history as well, when I have a little more time (Probably tomorrow).

Also, Kommy, as well detailed and rich as your character's backstory is, I think the little commentaries interspersed throughout were my favorite part. The "Igor" one in particular made me chuckle heartily.

Wow, this is an old thread... Normally, I don't approve of raising the dead. In this case, however, I make an exception. I had honestly forgotten everything here and it was a joy to see it again.

*chuckles* Thank you for this minor breach, Vergil. Perhaps I can go back to writing now that I have a little time on my paws.

I've been meaning to do this for awhile, but here it is. My fursona's history. Feel free to let me know if there's anything I can do to improve it.




The life of a Pennsylvanian miner during the mid to late 1800’s was nearly as dangerous as dancing on a minefield. There existed NO legislation of any kind to offer them protection or decent treatment. In 1871, 112 men were killed in the anthracite mines, and 332 permanently injured. In seven years, 556 men had been killed and 1,565 maimed or crippled for life. Out of 22,000 miners, more than 5,000 were sixteen years of age or under. Take-home pay was uncertain; deductions were often arbitrary or at the whim of the owners by means of what they called the "bobtail check." A typical week's wages for a miner at the time was $35; expenses, including rent, groceries, and a new drill, came to $35.03."

It was during this turbulent time that a group of Pennsylvanian miners formed a group opposed to unfairness and intolerable working conditions; they called themselves the “Mollie McGuire’s”. What commenced was an historical clash between coal company executives and common laborers that resulted in a series of unnecessary deaths on both sides. From 1877 to 1879, 26 Mollie McGuire’s were sentenced and hanged for their crimes.

Amongst their number was a simple, hardworking rat by the name of Riske Living. A rough and tumble scrapper who’s family had known nothing but struggle and misfortune since crossing the sea from Ireland so long ago. As to whether the men he associated with were guilty or innocent, none can say, but when given the choice between siding with the company and saving his life or remaining loyal to his brothers of the mine and swinging by the neck, Riske chose death.

On June 21, 1877, also known as Black Thursday, the first ten of twenty Irish Miners were hung. Riske’s son, Ernest stood next to his distraught mother and watched helplessly as his father died. The woman wept uncontrollably, but as for Ernest, the lad of fourteen said not a word nor moved an inch. Much to his family’s dismay, he shed no tears, but gripped his mother’s hand with such force that he popped her smallest finger out of joint. After this horrendous event, the young rat was changed forever.

Ernest Evan Living was born on the fifteenth of March in 1863 near Pottsville. A run-of-the-mill grey rat with no obvious outstanding qualities, he was one of four children. He was preceded by two older sisters and followed by a younger brother who sadly died at age ten from illness. Originally, he had set his sights on higher education, but after the events of 1877, redirected his focus to his fallen progenitors vocation. Against his mothers wishes, he put everything aside in favor of mining and within four years had surpassed his father’s reputation and capabilities amongst the working Irish. Putting aside the traditional pick axe and shovel of his contemporaries, young Ernest gladly embraced nitroglycerin and dynamite as the tools of his trade. Placing his top priorities on the use and mastery of this notoriously unstable commodity, his name became synonymous with precise and efficient blasting, whether above ground or below.

Ernest tossed aside his once clean and gentle exterior to fully epitomize the tough and burly life of a laborer. Favoring strong drink and foul cigars, he engaged in the traditional rough housing and fist fights that were typical amongst his brethren during their limited off hours. Despite being as far detached from polite society as one can imagine, he takes after his species noted adaptability and can clean himself up rather admirably if need be.

The tragic building blocks of his youth have made the rat an enigma to his fellow man. His personality can be seen as blusterous, sardonic or even downright antagonistic to those who do not know him. Coupled with a thinly veiled sense of self loathing and randomness, the miner has trouble making friends and often seems to have more enemies than usual. All of this is a façade, however, for within that calloused frame lies the fractured remains of a broken-hearted little rat who loves and misses his dead father.

The Pinkerton Agency, a group of infamous law dogs and so called “detectives” were integral in the downfall of the Mollies. After the mass execution of the miners, the Pinkerton’s kept close watch over the families of the deceased to prevent any further action taken against the coal companies. Ernest’s change in character and love of explosives pegged him as a dangerous rat and a potential terrorist in the eyes of the law. The detectives continued to shadow him into his twenties, constantly dogging his tail and harassing him at every turn, in hopes of forcing him to take action and provide reason for arrest.

In 1885, the offices of the Titan mining company were blown sky high in the middle of the night. The building was empty and no injuries of any kind were reported. The finger of blame was placed squarely upon Ernest, who swore his innocence vehemently. When the mining company claimed a large sum of insurance money and began construction of a larger and more spacious office site, the miners sensed a convenient set up and with the help of one Father James Harrigan, smuggled Ernest out of the country and into Europe to avoid false prosecution.

Living worked diligently throughout the countryside, offering his talents to fellow miners for a fraction of what one of his talents would normally ask. He held nothing but contempt for the mine owners and company men, who were as greedy and ruthless as the ones back home.

It is in 1893 that a major strike amongst British coal miners began. Arguments over safety and wages threatened to stifle the industry and executives were desperate to end it quickly. Seizing the opportunity, overseers spread false rumors that Ernest was a company scab hired to oust the striking workers for a wave of immigrants to replace them on the job. Most chose not to believe, but a handful of desperate and bigoted workers took the lies to heart. Ernest was harassed, assaulted and his quarters and possessions vandalized. Wanting nothing more than to fight it out, the rat was later talked into leaving by the ever present Father James, who suggested a little place in Italy where a gentleman could hide and never be found.

I don’t think Ernest is entirely prepared for what he’s about to experience…

Well, Bon Bon is set in the year 1895. So if you want your character to fit in then yes, you will need to adjust his/her backstory. As for research material, there's always the ever popular Wikipedia.

Jeebus, man. That's some fine writing work there. Now I feel all pressured and stuff, cuz that's a ROUGH act to follow.Razz

Well, here goes.

It was April 3, 1848, and the cry had gone out: GOLD. In what seemed like overnight, over 300,000 men, women, and children had made their way to California, in hopes of striking it rich. Among them was a young mink, Charles Skylark, age 19.
A farmhand from Georgia, Charles had heard the discovery of gold and travelled by covered wagon, with dreams of breaking free of poverty's hold.

However, 2 years later, all of Charles' dreams had given way to despair. With little food, no money for lodgings, and not an ounce of gold, not to mention the fact that he had damaged his leg, Charles was in a bad place. That is, until in anger in frustration, he hurled his mining pick and it struck the only untouched side of the mountain in his claim, with such force that it knocked a chunk loose and revealed a shiny substance underneath. Charles had struck gold.
And not a small sum, either. Further mining of the spot he had discovered showed it to be one of the richest deposits in the area. Ecstatic and with tears of joy streaming down his face, he vowed to remain in and help develop the newly admitted state of California, the state which had given him his fortune.

Over the next 20 years, Charles remained in California, helping to support the state's growth as he promised, and gradually increasing his wealth through investments in the burgeoning railroad industry. In 1871, he met Josephine Langley, the daughter of a Railroad tycoon, and the two fell in love. They Married in March 1872, and that October, they had their first child, whom they named Vergil.

A bright and studious boy, Vergil took to books with a passion, feverishly reading everything he could get his hands on. His father, eager to give his son the education he never had, set Vergil to schooling with a private tutor. As the firstborn, he would inherit his father's holdings as well as the family estate, and Vergil was brought up with that in mind. From as early as 2 years old, he was brought with his father to various posh gatherings, and spent much of his time surrounded by gentlemen and ladies.

In 1877, when he was scarcely five, Vergil's mother again gave birth, this time to twins, a girl and a boy. Unfortunately, the strain was too much, and she passed away shortly thereafter from complications.
Despite his happy demeanor with his children, Vergil could tell his father was lonely and depressed, so he spent as much time as he could keeping him company. Listening to his father's wistful tales of his love for his wife, combined with the various romance novels his mother left behind, inspired Vergil, leaving him to dream of finding love for himself someday, and distraught that his responsibilities as heir to the family fortune would most likely keep him from it. To express his emotions and to placate his desire for romance, he began writing it himself.

At age 19, Vergil was sent overseas to England where he attended the University of Oxford, earning an education in literature, english, and linguistics. During this time, two of his friends, eager to relieve him of his Virginity, whisked him away for a small vacation to Bon Bon. Though their plans didn't succeed, Vergil was entranced by the town's beauty and the air of romance it held.
One night, while his friends were dancing with the girls they had selected, Vergil was approached by a young vixen as he was writing in his notebook. She asked if she could look, and he obliged. She produced a notebook of her own, and several hours were spent discussing, critiquing, and laughing over their craft. Afterwards, the Vixen left, having a previous engagement. Vergil would later learn that he'd had the privilege of having his work praised by Daphne Mallow, a celebrated writer in Bon Bon. This sealed his decision; if at all possible, he'd return here one day to seek his dreams.

After graduation, Vergil received a letter from home; his father had taken ill, and his condition was worsening. He hurried home via steamship, arriving just in time to spend a precious few days with his ailing father. On his deathbed, Charles noted that Vergil had seemed somewhat depressed recently, and told his son he could not die with one of his children distressed so. Vergil confessed his feelings tearfully, and his father, with a smile, gave him his blessing, saying "You've inherited my dreams; knowing that you will carry those is enough."

With those final words, Charles quietly passed away, with his three children at his side. In the days that followed, the three children were each awarded an equal share of the estate. Vergil sold his share of the railroad holdings and land to his brother, upon sole condition that he, as new heir, take proper care of them. With that, a teary farewell to his siblings, and promises to keep in touch, Vergil headed to port and boarded the steamship to Italy, prepared to live his dreams, for not just him, but his father as well.

(Sorry if it's a bit long. I kinda came up with this on the fly, so please pardon any slight hiccups.)
