masquerade: ooc auction signs up

Hey folks, as per Doom's announcement, there will be a bachelor/ette component at the masquerade, and this here post is for signing up, and for finding potential bidders. This way everyone has the opportunity to make their decisions about who they want to ~win~ their character's auction OOCly, rather than getting into IC bidding wars (unless you want to have IC bidding wars, in which case, be my guest) and worrying about who has the most money.

You can sign up your character along with their highest bidder in the thread here, using the very simple form below, once decisions are made. Until then the rest of this post can be used as a plotting post. Just drop a comment with a little description of your character including if they'd have given a preference for bidders, and interested parties can say hi! If you're super popular and having trouble deciding, feel free to RNG the bidders to make the decision easier.



NOTE: OOCly, everyone needs to agree that their character signed up for the auction, but you're welcome to say they were volunteered by someone else ICly, Doom don't care.

NOTE 2: As a response to some questions we got, I've got a couple clarifying points
1) Is there a limit to how many bids a character can place/win? No, but don't be a dick, let other folks have the opportunity to win auctions and build CR!
2) Can characters bid on behalf of someone else? Yes, but make sure it's OOCly discussed and don't use it as a way to get around preferences
3) What is the IC set up going to be? There will be a stage in the main hall where the bachelor/ettes will go up, with someone (Doom?? Loki?? Who knows) announcing/managing the bids. You can assume characters will have been asked to provide a little spiel about themselves, but you don't have to actually write it if you don't want.

COME ONE, COME ALL. Yes, that's right.

YOU could be the lucky bidder for the grumpiest asshole in this place.

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE. If you act now, you'll be guaranteed the worst date night of your life, filled with angry arguments, threats of physical violence, and lots of booze.

No but honestly, everyone save yourselves from this hot mess. Why would you ever.

This is Thor, say no more, he is a catch. He is a 6'4 wall of muscle with luxurious, blond hair and a nice, amiable temperament (mostly) to go with it. He will be looking ravishing in his suit.

I don't have a particular preference for who bids on him. He's mostly straight, but he'll dabble and he'll show anyone a nice time. (He would be a fun addition for a three-way).

Because someone... wants this???

PROS:
- very handsome, cool tattoos
- hella good in bed
- has a lot of money via nefarious means, so he'll pay for whatever you want.
- has a cute dog that can come along.

CONS:
- crude sense of humor
- generally an asshole
- ALWAYS drunk. always.
- sort of... vaguely gestures at all of him

PREFERENCES:
- he's chill with anyone.
- men over 40 have a better chance of getting real, non-assholish affection.
- he's also very nice to women but... chauvinistic/misogynistic.

That's it that's my whole pitch.

John doesn't know how to go on a date but he's a soft and gentle boy so you'll probably enjoy yourself one way or another. John's stated preference is ladies but he wouldn't balk at going on a date with a guy. It's for charity anyway, right? ...right??

As an OOC preference, 18+ please!

PROS:
• super kind / extremely loyal
• generous
• small, shaped like a friend
• ok eyebrows
• decent singing voice

CONS:
• very embarrassing
• too dramatic
• too committed
• a virgin / not experienced
• has no idea who he really is

PREFERENCES: prefers women because he's bisexual and doesn't know it, so we can tiptoe in that if you want a gay crisis.

Illya still has no idea how this happened (he befriended Taako that is what happened)

PROS:
- I mean, he's pretty hot
- He's actually really sweet and gentle when he gets to like someone
- Super easy to fluster so he's fun to tease
- He'll probably come up with original plans for dates

CONS:
- Things may end up with tables being flipped at one point, sorry
- He's not really a romantic kind of guy so ??? what is a date
- Not really into partying or stuff like that so some people will probably find him boring ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

PREFERENCES:
- +20 at least
- He thinks of himself as straight but is actually bisexual so?? have fun with that????

ICly couldn't get away with not putting him on this because well, its the exact crap Drew would go ahead and sign himself up for!

Pros:
- Flirtatious and funny
- Good at cooking, great at eating
- Long career of being awfully promiscuous so you know... a lot of potential if everything goes well
- Cutie patootie
- Great barman but can't get drunk so he'll be your DD!

Cons:
- Likes to be treated right AKA will demand affection outright
- May be high at any given moment
- Low attention span
- Not exactly the most elegant man on the world
- Let's all hope its not a full moon

Preferences:
- Men

volunteering Clarke for this auction! she's good being bid on/won by either men or women tbh.

pros:
  • looks like a princess
  • artistic, will draw you like one of those french girls
  • mature for her age (18 but acts like 40 tbh)
  • post-apocalyptic survivor
  • will sacrifice anything for those she cares about

    cons:
  • can be a buzzkill
  • ptsd and slew of other issues, but is good at concealing it
  • martyr complex as a result of her desire for penance; doesn't think she's worth saving in favor of others
  • would sell you to satan for 1 corn chip if it meant saving someone she cares about

    enjoy~

All the blame is on Sam for getting him involved but he'll be a good sport about it. Charity and all.

Have you ever wanted to go on an old fashioned date? Something that seems out of a 40s flick? Then look no further than Steve Rogers. He'll show you a good time that might even including holding your hand. Nearly, too much to even handle, right? Any hangs up and issues can obviously be overlooked by that dazzling and shy smile.

Open to females and males. Needs to be 25+.

How vehemently Lola bids will be directly based on how much fun Clarke doesn't seem to be having because if she looks sad or angry Lola will be like 'welp, gotta show this girl a good time.' Lola's just like that.

But if Clarke looks like she's enjoying herself Lola will probably just casually bid.

Do not sell Lola to satan, although I have been looking for an excuse to throw Lola at Lucifer for forever.
