Molly Biography Amalia S. Welkin

Amalia "Molly" Welkin grew up a low-tier spoiled rich kid in NYC: dad had a lot of money but wasn't considered "high class" and so she had to settle for a few rungs down the social ladder. Smart enough to coast through undergrad with a double major and decent grades, then enrolled in grad school at UCLA. Completed her MFE, now working on her Ph.D.

Her father was The Man To Know when you needed your cash flow scrubbed. He tried to keep his family out of it, but she wasn't entirely clueless.

Her parents died shortly before she moved to LA; her mother wrapped her car around a telephone pole, and a year later her dad got caught between rival gangs. Or at least that's what the police reports said.

Disclaimer & RP Preferences
I'm always up for any kind of RP, even really dark shit, and I love meeting new people. Unfortunately that sometimes leads to a bit of a problem when it comes to "IC realism" in a mush setting. The following has been addressed by the admin but I'd like to expound on how I see it. Expand for a bit of spam, if you're interested. Otherwise skip straight to the TL;DR!


The population of the L.A. metro area is 12+ million people. There are around a couple thousand supers in there. The IC odds of ever randomly bumping into one are (let's see... square root... carry the one... ) microscopically small. And yet, most PCs on Liberation are going to be some flavor of supernatural. So, do I hit the +hangouts with my guard down, which would be ICly appropriate? Or do I arm myself to the teeth and expect anyone who says 'hi' could potentially turn me into a newt?

Obviously the latter is the wrong answer. But that leads to situations where other players, who are playing their character entirely appropriately, discover that I'm someone they would really like to mindwipe/enslave/tattoo/whatever. Now, if I'm busting down doors in Giovanni House, bad things are to be expected. If you approach me at the local supermarket because I have ZOMG AMAZING SHOES, that's a different story.

So: if I randomly bump into you somewhere public, and even if we end up somewhere NOT public, my default expectation is a return to status quo after our scene wraps up. I'm totally cool if you want to blast me with the mind-whammy or whatever as long as everything is back to where we started when we wrap up and take a hit from the +vote pipe. Think of it as Liberation Must See TV - we'll have a few laughs, some dramatic tension, perhaps a lesson is learned in the end. But by the next episode, it's just like nothing had happened.

I'm fully down with ICA=ICC, but being lured to your apartment to check out your sick gaming rig when I have zero reason to expect you're anything other than a regular human does not count. Molly can realistically handle most normal mortals. I should not have to plan for a roided-out fanged furball. Even if your character is completely addicted to that sweet sweet O positive neck nectar, come up with an IC reason to not snack on me. If you can't come up with something, then warn me that I'm about to hit the Night Folk lottery when I didn't even buy a scratch-off. Then give me the opportunity to ICly disengage. Because here's a nickel's worth of free OOC info: if bad things happen to Molly, worse things are exceedingly likely to happen to you. I don't want that, you don't want that, let's not do that.

TL;DR - if we're enjoying random bar-RP, I generally prefer a return to status quo after the scene ends. If you have something else in mind, let's discuss!
