Oh, yay! Must admit I'm really excited to see yours Aria. Mainly because I'm going to assume that it's for a female char heheh. Have a sort of deficiency around here, tut tut….Joking! But ah, brave of you to take a summer course. My lazy ass couldn't have done it haha.

I can always convert my character to a woman if that helps balance things :P it was interesting - I frequent the Spam forum here and someone linked a JavaScript program that analyses your writing to see whether it emulates female or male writing more. I was almost 80% female, if I recall correctly (though the sample I submitted was from informal conversation rather than story writing.) Quite a few of the results were surprising, actually. Anyway, enough of my ranting XD

I'm almost done with mine, I promise! I'm in class right now so I can't finish it (damn me for taking a summer course), but I'll send it to you guys later tonight when I get off work.

What is your course on? :)

Aw no, no need! It wasn't so much a question of ratio in the game as it was my own need for some estrogen up in here LOL. But what an interesting program, I think I'll try and go find it and have a look at what it would say about me...

Bliss: I've gotten more comfortable with roleplaying males, but when it comes to intricate characters they're usually always female. I love me some estrogen as well, as you can see from my pink-colored-everything whenever I post, lol.

Halo: I'm taking Elementary Statistics. I usually love all math but I hate stats. And it's required for almost all health science programs so I'm just like "O_O Ugghhh statistics."

Whoops! Sorry for the misinterpretation. And the link is here .

:D another mathematician, fantastic! I'm in exactly the same boat, I feel thy pain - I did statistics courses on the side this year and, though I find their practical application interesting (like using it for health science, or for psychology like I did last year), actually learning all of the techniques etc. was physically painful... ugh. XD

All this activity, it's inspiring lol.

Screw ALLLLLL of you MATH people >>. I HATE math. With a passion. It sucks so much. I only got to like... Trig in school lmao (Don't you judge me >>).

YOU ARE SO WRONG. Maths is beautiful and glorious and amazing. I could wax lyrical about why maths is wonderful for a few thousand characters but I am trying to stop mega-posting xD. But no point judging, everyone has different talents. I suck major [redacted] at anything artsy; I can only do the dry, traditional subjects, like Maths, sciences, English, etc. Ask me to draw or play an instrument or anything like that and I'm utterly useless. Dropped those subjects as quick as I could.

Bliss will get us for this, but I must respond lol. Math? Beautiful and amazing? What kind of oxymoron is this lol? I am TERRIBAD at math. I mean, I can do basic things and stuff, but give me anything real and I'll look like an idiot. For that reason, math can just go away and burn unless money is involved. Then all of a sudden I'm the king of numbers and statistics XD.

YES! YES! Maths forever! Plus, the amount of math jokes to be had during class while the professor is trying to lecture is simply GLORIOUS! My class had a ball with integral calculus-- "What was that professor? The big F(u)?" And personally, I think it's funny when people take me to be really stupid in advanced math courses. I have "girly" handwriting, not "math/engineering" handwriting, and I'm always really social and laugh a lot.
But math and vocal music are the only things I've been talented at, and even though I really like other subjects, I struggle with solidifying concepts and theories.

According to that gender classifier, I write like a woman.

*flops -redacted- on table*

Clearly there is an issue. :U

Ah, I'm with Icc on this whole math ordeal… It sucks. But mainly because I suck at it. (:

Ooh, this is interesting. I put in three samples for both genders, and each got somewhere like 70/30, the higher number being female. I guess I'm cool with that. You all will just have to deal with my slightly feminine males. *flips hair*

Today is Friday. That means it is now the final day to submit characters for the RP. Obviously I'm looking forward to Aria's (Hint..... HINT HINT COUGH), but for anyone else thinking about it, today is the last day to put in a character for consideration. When I get back home tonight, I'll put the final casting me and Bliss have decided on and then we'll get on with the RP this weekend.

For those who do not make the final cast, know that no decision is personal. I want to say "obviously" after that, but I know it's not always an obvious sort of thing. We hold no negative feelings towards anyone so if you're not on the list tonight, it's unfortunate, but we will wish you luck in your future endeavors. We also ask that those who do not make it refrain from further posting in this OOC thread after tonight as this will become a closed RP at that point.

In any case, for now, send in those characters you thread lurkers and give yourself a chance to be considered! I'l see everyone tonight. I have to go the gym now and then work right after so yeah lol.

Okay, I finally got that done. Sorry for the wait guys!

Okay, the site was down for a moment, but while we're back I'm gonna get this final cast list up. So, me and Bliss are in agreement about this and as I said, if you do not make the list, it's nothing personal at all. With that aside, here is the final cast of this RP (including myself).

Halo
Ariamella
NotExceeding(Rut)
Adorabadass

With that done, I'll now officially announce that this RP is closed to new players. Players who did not make the list, please refrain from further posting in the OOC thread as this will now become a closed thread for members only. As far as introductions go, I'm gonna make another post giving you an idea of how things will begin so you can begin planning your first posts. I want to get this list up here though before the site goes out again (if it will). Thank you to all interested parties and good luck in your RP endeavors.

To all our new players, welcome to the RP and we look forward to writing with you all!

EDIT - Here are the powers for each player as well. For certain players, we may ask them to change their desired ability.

Halo - Metal
Aria - Water
Not Exceeding(Rut) - Shadow
Badass - Halo ended up winning out on Metal. I would give you a choice, but the only thing left is fire so you're gonna have to take fire. I hope that's okay.

*tumbles in* Yay, cast list is up! Congratulations you guys! Looking forward to writing with you all :)

I'll have my CS up soon-ish (working on it now). However, all approved players may now post their character sheets in this OOC thread. You can finally show off your creativity to your fellow players and everyone can see what kind of characters will be working together. Also, it allows me to add hyperlinks to the OOC page when I add a cast section. So post those characters in the thread whenever you guys get a chance.

Wait, like right here? Right now?

Yes. When you get a chance. If that chance is right now... Then yes, right now XD. In a hider though, preferably.

Is there someway to edit it within the intro post of the OOC? That way it's all organized and whatnot (:

That's the point Aria lol. When you post it in the thread, I can hyperlink in the OP of the OOC and a click will lead to the sheet. XD.
