Looking for someone special to curl up in front of the fire or share a special moment under the mistletoe" This event is for you! The WinterFest Charity Date Auction will be held on Tuesday 12/11 from 9 PM-12 AM ET in the Red Dragons Great Hall.

Sponsored by the RhyDin Rewind and hosted by Harris and Seirichi, live in the fabulous Great Hall. The Holiday Charity Date Auction is a benefit for the RhyDin Womens" Shelter.

Those willing to be auctioned off, please submit your names to Seirichi or Harris by December 8th along with a brief bio that should include a short description. For example:

Harris is a rugged, blue-haired, alpha male whose Justin Beiber impersonations are legendary. He loves holding your purse at the mall while you try on lingerie for him, and will punch anyone who talks smack about your butt in those jeans.

((The auction will be carried out live in the Great Hall via PMs. Bids will be announced in room to add to the tension. It is up to the individual players (auctioned individuals and winning bidders) to set up and play out their dates. Have fun!))

Auction Profile #1

Fury (Fury Revisited) - A classic beauty to warm your holiday season, perhaps?

http://i1131.photobucket.com/albums/m549/HarrisTheHeckler/greta.jpg

Personal Bio: Due to some misunderstandings with her father she left home and ended up in Rhy'din. She doesn't like long walks on the beach. She can't swim. She doesn't like crowds or dirt. Sometimes, she'll admit to liking things. But, not very often.

Likes: Whiskey-black label, piano, music and being right. Dislikes: There's not enough time or air for this.

Bishop (Judah Bishop) - Bad, or just misunderstood?

http://i1131.photobucket.com/albums/m549/HarrisTheHeckler/1630114008500b731166a81.jpg

Personal Bio: After his appearance and several run-ins with the local Watch involving gunslingers, Tex-Mex, giant icebergs falling from the sky and beer poison, Bishop has settled into life as a reasonably good citizen of Rhydin. He owns a carpentry shop in the Dockside, specializing in hand-carved pieces. Bishop lives with his girlfriend and a beat-up old truck named Lulubelle in a renovated barn south of town on a cliff that, amazingly, given his luck, has not fallen into the ocean yet. For some insane reason, said girlfriend thinks this auction crap is a good idea.

Bishop is tall, dark and cranky, with more issues than the local newsstand. He enjoys cheap liquor, dispensing advice he wouldn't take himself, and getting to know you by going through your stuff when you aren't looking.

Charles (Charles Blackstone) - A little youthful exuberance can go a long way...

http://i1131.photobucket.com/albums/m549/HarrisTheHeckler/56460598050a590721ed09.jpg

Personal Bio: Charles is a tough, yet sensitive young man. In touch with both his boyish heart but also has the strong man sense about him. In other words he will have fun with you, but also kick some butt if anyone says anything bad about you.

Thorn (The Redneck) - Make certain you're not allergic to FUN!

http://i1131.photobucket.com/albums/m549/HarrisTheHeckler/Scan49.jpg

Personal Bio: Thorn is a fun loving, good natured woman who is equally at home in a crowded bar or a quiet walk in the park. With tastes that range from ballet and theater to horror movies and skin-clubs, from antiquing to bow hunting, if it sounds fun, the line starts behind her

Evander - Keep both eyes on this one....for various reasons.

http://i1131.photobucket.com/albums/m549/HarrisTheHeckler/Evander.jpg

Personal Bio: Grouchy, murderous, and generally undesirable beyond his physical appearance which borders on the traditional tall, dark, and brutally handsome, Evander enjoys long walks on the beach in order to lure his victims into a false sense of security before he disembowels them. He also likes puppies.

Katt - If you don't have a sweet tooth, you will...

http://i1131.photobucket.com/albums/m549/HarrisTheHeckler/Katt.jpg

Personal Bio: If you've been to the inn you no doubt have at least seen her. Inky black hair, unnatural green eyes, and a babyface, Katt is quiet but easy to talk to in most situations. Overly large crowds tends to make her more quiet than normal.

Dris (BardGallant) - He'll ruin you just like RhyDin. But in the good way!

http://i1131.photobucket.com/albums/m549/HarrisTheHeckler/Dris.jpg

Personal Bio: Apart from being the former Governor of Rhy'Din circa 2010, let's face it....Dris will look good on your arm. He's better looking than you, he'll happily let you get him drunk, and he'll probably still be able to play you sweet music on his piano. Extra services come at no charge.

Likes: All the Things Dislikes: N/A

Personal Bio: Hailing from the lovely country of Wales, this lovely lass is an artist of the highest caliber and her artwork is no doubt featured in several prominent mental institutions throughout the universe. When she isn't doodling, she enjoys long walks on the beach and headbutting nosey strangers. Proficient in many glorious tongues, Bea is sure to add that extra umph to any evening.

Aimee Malone (Aimee) - She's an actress. What else do you need to know?

Personal Bio: If you've seen Fifty Shades of Grey, then you already know what this little lady has to offer. Sultry, sweet, and all home-grown, this Rhy'Din actress knows how to strut her stuff in public and private.

Fionna Helston (FioHelston) - Usually elected officials don't want a price on their head...

http://i1131.photobucket.com/albums/m549/HarrisTheHeckler/Fio.jpg

Personal Bio: You've seen her hotness on posters. Heard her sweet, sweet voice on the radio. The hottest Governor of all time is putting herself up for auction and you could be the lucky one to strike it big with her! And by you, I mean me, Seirichi. Because I'm going to be the one bidding on her....and if I see even one of you lift a hand or whatever and do it instead? Expect it to be broken. She also has a nice backside, I'll tell her to do a full 360 on stage just so all of you can see it.

Cheyenne Daniels - Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated into the Daniels clan. And probably like it.

http://i1090.photobucket.com/albums/i378/Re-Mix/cheydate.jpg

Personal Bio: Cheyenne Daniels is a transplant from Georgia along with the others in the (ohmygodwheredotheykeepcomingfrom"!) Daniels clan.

Rikhard - A touch of debonair may be what you're looking for.

http://i1131.photobucket.com/albums/m549/HarrisTheHeckler/Rikhard3.jpg

Personal Bio: Fairly new to the land of RhyDin, Rikhard is a special breed of man, a true gentleman. Picture this, ladies: trivial tasks such as opening doors will be a thing of the past with this rugged warrior by your side; he's even known to make a mean cup of tea! If the prospects of never touching a door again and all the tea you can drink aren't enticing enough (doubtful), he's no slouch in a fight either, so you don't have to worry about any ruffians questioning your honor. A night with Rikhard can be yours for as much as you're willing to pay, so get bidding!

Lola Maroon (The Birdborne) - Are you brave enough to be her next meal?

http://i1131.photobucket.com/albums/m549/HarrisTheHeckler/Birdborne3.jpg

Bio: The kind of woman that comes with a warning label. Utterly vain, completely maddening. Bidders beware; this one doesn't bite but devours. A darkhearted queen suited for any king who enjoys a bit of risk. (NOTE: Winning bidder is subject to signing a waiver upon retrieval. Not responsible for any bodily harm or broken hearts left in the wake.)

Carter James English III (Carter English) - Not really a ruffian, just scrappy. Honest.

http://i1131.photobucket.com/albums/m549/HarrisTheHeckler/CarterEnglish.jpg

Bio: Sarcasm, simple charm, a dash of bare knuckled luck and a whole lot of scars make up this Boston man. A sheer knock out with a couple tricks up his sleeves. Semi-new to the area but with a face you're sure to never forget.

Cooper Gallows (CGallows) - Remember to feed him and pet him and everything.

http://i1131.photobucket.com/albums/m549/HarrisTheHeckler/Gallows.jpg

Bio: Tall, broad, but increasingly too lean for his own good, Cooper here is being thrown to the proverbial wolves for this auction in hopes of getting him out of a recent funk. Maybe the lucky winner can force feed the ol' bear some sandwiches or something.

Auction Setting: Available immediately upon entering the hall is a table overloaded with free RhyDin Rewind merchandise for the taking, including t-shirts, mugs, buttons, bumper stickers, keychains, and virtually any other trinket the radio show's logo can be plastered on for cheap. At the center of the hall a vast buffet has been set out for auction participants with a variety of sandwiches and assorted snack foods, including Seirichi's favorite, fried chicken.

http://i1131.photobucket.com/albums/m549/HarrisTheHeckler/BuffetTable.jpg

Two tables have been set up before the auction stage at the north end of the hall, one cluttered with enough electronic auction paddles for everyone in attendance. Above the stage an electronic board has been set up to track bids made with the aforementioned paddles. The second table is obscured from the crowd by a dark curtain, where several inches of candle sit, prepared to act as individual auction timers.

http://i1131.photobucket.com/albums/m549/HarrisTheHeckler/300px-Candle-flame-and-reflection.jpg

Auction Guidelines: The 2012 WinterFest Charity Auction will mix modern technology with methods of a bygone era. Each bidder is expected to secure an electronic auction paddle from the table set up at the main stage, which they will use to enter their bid amounts. Each bid made will be displayed anonymously on the digital scoreboard set up above the auction stage. The maximum bid increment will cap at 10,000 silver nobles. Therefore if the current bid is 2,000 silver nobles the maximum bid allowed will be 12,000 silver nobles.

This event will be regulated by the rules of a candle auction. An inch of candle, hidden from the sight of everyone but the auction hosts, will be lit for each individual auctioned off. Bids will be accepted until the candle burns out, after which the highest current bid will be accepted and the winner will be announced. Good luck and enjoy WinterFest!

((OOC Notes: This will be a timed auction, pitting bidders not only against each other but against the clock. A random amount of time between 5-10 minutes will be allotted for each individual to be auctioned off. The amount of time will not be announced to the crowd. Once time expires the highest current bid will be declared the winner. All bids will be made in PMs. One host will run the timer while the other accepts all bids. If you have any questions before or during the event, please direct them to me. Thanks and have fun!))
