Indie, Semi-Selective Original Character RP for Carmine Roses, your local super villain. Written by Lay. May contain triggering content. Please read the rules.
So if my inactivity didn’t hint at it, yah girl is gonna go on a hiatus! I want to develop Carmine and the story she lives in a bit more and maybe even publish it one day but that doesn’t allow a lot of time to role play ya know. I don’t know when I’m coming back honestly and I don’t even know if I will. My rp experience was an interesting one to say the least. For one the lack of interest in POC muses and my lack of graphic skills has made RPing feel more like a competition than a hobby. The winners seem to always be the ones with the best graphics, the more easy to digest muse, and it’s just not fair to myself to keep up with it. As for the people that I’ve befriended I am so glad I got the chance to be exposed to such talented writers and artists and cherish all of our interactions from in character to out of it. I’m gonna be way more active on personal blog and if you need me for anything hit me up here! <3
gonna do a slight rewrite of ol’ Car dear! nothing major but a definite age up so she has bit more experiences and whatnot to aid in the development of who she is.
new things:
She’s now 32!
After killing the human trash can we know as Teddy, she is recruited into the assassin biz by and old gal pal (winK) and spends the majority of her early 20′s that way. Car and Tandy (said gal pal) are more of anon and off relationship with no real labels.
Car quits, never really into the idea of organized crime and decides to become a serial killer and later on the super villain we know and love.
lowkey the ppl in the harl!vy tag have me sick???? like they highkey ignore the abusive moments in their relationship for the sake of “”””precious gays!!!!!”””...like girl this is not the representation you want...this is directly tied to domestic abuse being swept under the rug in lgbt community. none of these ppl have read a comic and simply regurgitate mediocre and it’s starting to get on my nerves!!!! i just want quality, logical content not thoughtless cult status gays for no reason?????? ya know bc emotional abuse and choking ain’t real abuse ;). demeaning your s/o as long as your both girls ;)
So its late and rather than thinking “hey let’s take my ass to sleep” I instead start watching female mma videos and go “i should make a skillset list for Car!”
Make no mistake, my little possum queen may be easy on the eyes and seemingly of average intellgence, it’s gonna take a lot of effort to really knock her off her feet. So here’s a quick reference for y’all and myself esp. since she’s a violent mess and I do like fighting threads.
+Strengths!
Stronger than she appears - Working on a farm at a pretty young age is a really good way to build some muscle. Now ofc she doesn’t have superhuman strength or maybe the strength of a bodybuilder perhaps but she is strong enough to (a) put someone in a bearhug and break a bone, (b) lift people and things that are bigger than her such as Al who is a foot taller than her and also a rather athletic man, (c) body slam/suplex an unwitting opponent who thinks those big fluffy arms are useless. Funnily enough, she has this trait in common with her Nana Garland who was of a similar body shape and strength level
Slightly above average combatant - A combo of natural talent, getting into a lot of fights and picking up tricks, and taking classes under false identities; Car has a pretty good shot a knocking someone out. She favors hand to hand combat for that reason, along with her brawler like fighting style that is extremely aggressive and quite overwhelming. She tends to favor punch outs in which that strength comes in handy (along with the misconception that her size makes her less agile or reactive when all it really does is add more force to the blow), grappling, using her elbow and knees for really damaging blows. Surprisingly she has a pretty good high kick and is okay at dodging hits from not so trained fighters. However if it’s her versus an extremely well trained fighter, she’s probably just gonna go down fighting...unless....
Good at improvising & fighting dirty - Do not make the foolish mistake of even thinking she’s above hair-pulling or scratching out ya eyeballs. Nut shots, biting, hell maybe even a human shield if she’s up for it! Car is also a pretty clever girl and can occasionally fight with a clear head, being able to scan the environment to help her out. Tables, box cutters, or even a handkerchief are quite dangerous in her hands. She’s a fast thinker on a good day and will use whatever is in her grasp to win.
Marksmanship - The kid idolized Annie Oakley and it’s definitely paid off. Car has been practicing with guns since childhood and has no problem with moving targets. While she favors revolvers and shotguns, she’s noticeably a better shot than most police officers and henchmen regardless of the firearm. Tends to incorporate this into her hand to hand fights for a quick kill or to injure an opponent if she’s feeling really mean. And yes while it’s super improbable she likes to dual wield bc she’s a fucking child.
A People Person - While she may not be a genius prodigy or Olympic level athlete, Carmine’s real intelligence is her street smarts and affinity for just making people uncomfortable. This knowledge is shown best during her serial killer days when she literally banked on the fact that no one expects a killer to be a woman and previous experiences with the police has informed her just how incompetent they are. Car can learn a lot about a person in a short span of time and uses her scatter brained, childish persona to hide this skill. Therefore she can get a general grasp of their likes and dislikes and use that to either intimidate or befriend. In a combat situation this comes in handy in areas that allow her to put space between them and give her time to talk. Not only that but her infamy in West Coast makes her seem more like a boogeyman that human so she’s 100% down to play into that fantasy during fights. Those who don’t know her simply see this kooky childish girl and make the poor mistake of thinking she can’t hold her own.
- Weaknesses
Is a smol - She’s only 5′3 so bigger opponents are a way bigger threat
Impulsive and Emotional - Made her cry? Good, you have a higher chance of winning bc she’s more likely to make dumber decisions (reckless swinging, shot the wrong target, etc.) but there’s also a chance she even more likely to kill because of that good old fashioned all consuming b.orderline rage that makes her see red. Also, it’s pretty hard to truly get under her skin.
Lack of self-awareness - Car tends to forget that she isn’t immortal and will gamble her life for stupid things w/o realizing it. She tends to take on more difficult opponents for this exact reason and rather fight for thrills than a logical reason at all. Has no problem fighting in buildings on fire or continue a fight despite winning or losing.
Usual Arsenal:
Partial to twin revolvers (named Lucy & Desi, covered in pink glitter), a classic Remington shotgun (Billie, painted in a pink and orange swirl on the barrel), and an HK53 semi-automatic rifle (Hedy, painted yellow)
Fire axe, named Minerva, acquired it during a robbery and instantly fell in love
Various stiletto knives hidden on her person
Spiked baseball bats, usually a, oddly unnamed, yellow one with a smiley face
Some type of explosive such as grenades, dynamite sticks, etc.
When she’s in the company of tech friends such as Vi, she tends to have gimmick gadgets such as a Rubik cube bomb, confetti bolas, a bubblegum gun, an acid shooting Super Soaker, etc.
