Kell

PUBLIC INFO: Kell Patsakos is a local society lady, an heiress. She endorses political candidates who support marijuana legalization and sponsors the local farmers' market.

Shaherazaad's Kell founded an unlikely group of culinary friends in Prospect. Hailing from different places in the Middle East and the U.S., they bring together cuisine from Algiers, Iraq, Israel, Turkey, Greece, and other places. They pooled their skills to create the progressive restaurant Shaherazaad's.

Currently...

The farmers' market is now open. The urban garden has been completed and is already producing greens. Some of the produce ends up in Shaherazaad's kitchen and some is sold in the farmer's market, but there's still more than they need. Extra vegetables are going to a mission kitchen.

Hooks

Every year, tickets to her birthday party are sold for charity. The soiree is held all night at a Middle Eastern restaurant called "Shaherazaad". Perhaps you've attended that gathering?

Sometimes Kell spends time in the desert with a horse. You might see her there?

The garden is a place where someone could come in off the street and explore. You might run into her while she's pulling caterpillars off the chard?

Kell personally works diligently at Shaherazaad's. Maybe you ran into Kell at the restaurant early in the morning?

Kell has distant ties to the Gypsy community of Prospect. Maybe a friend in common sent you to meet Kell?

There's a MMA gym in Prospect. Would you have spotted Kell doing a Bagua form?

My OOC RP Preferences

You'll probably have noticed this page doesn't use the templates, which normally give you a rundown of a character's attitudes towards various types of supernatural. I prefer to observe "The OOC Masquerade". If you want to know what Kell is, please use an IC ability when it isn't "sniping" and is therefore allowed on the MUSH. If you want to know what Kell thinks of Garou, Changelings, Demons, whatever, find out IC. At least on the surface, Kell tends towards the "heroic" and not the "villainous" side of things. I think that's enough of a clue to start. I came here to roleplay. :)

I'd rather that someone I RP with wasn't playing any alts. Why not? First, because it severely impedes the quality of play. It destroys natural curiosity the character ought to have. Suppressing personality-leak from one scene to the other causes the character to be wooden. Multi-worlders have difficulty remembering what went on in previous scenes. They don't pick up on clues-- and this is a game about conspiracies and subtleties. Second, it's unfair to me to have to wait while somebody else writes two posts. I don't mind slow RP if I've had the option to opt-in to it. I want to give you my best, and that means not opening another window. So if you're slow, I'm staring at dead air for six minutes at a time. If (for whatever reason) you're going to be slow, please let me know in advance. Depending on my mood, I might be totally cool with playing eight games of Bejewelled while you type of a twelve-liner.

I prefer to not be pressured OOC to participate in someone else's doings if their character has taken no serious action to earn my character's cooperation, respect, trust, etc. I'd like it if there was some kind of IC communication because how it's phrased is my opportunity for insight into your character, and because your character could royally blow it. Hand-waving it isn't fair to me.

Off-MUSH Scenes. I may roleplay Kell through some other medium, so that those of you who can see where characters are on the MUSH will get no unfair clues as to what Kell is up to. I wish I didn't have to do this, but it's become too apparent that this OOC info, and the contents of my character sheet, are being used IC. Rather than get butthurt over it and make drama, I'm taking measures to spare anyone the temptation.
