Lets talk about Minami for a moment. I get her story, and it all is well put. But, and it may just be my opinion, I find it a bit difficult to understand such young characters. She ran away from an abusive home, understandable. I'm curious though, has she simply wandered into the convention? Was this her first day away, or has she been living in such a way for a while, in that case, I'm surprised nothing horribly advantageous has happened to her. And, I'm not sure how much an eleven year old would understand about such a life. It almost saddens me to think that she could die of starvation. I might not have spoken in a complete way, but something along the lines of, did she wander in this convention simply because she was hungry, like Kassy had?

Alright, her power is smell so her sense of smell would probably be twice as that of a dog's, so considering a convention needs to cater food to A Lot of people, she would smell it miles away. As I stated, it took her roughly three weeks to get to Tokyo from Osaka, which is what I took from an average of how long it takes for most people to get from Osaka to Tokyo on foot for religious purposes. Most of the path from Osaka to Tokyo is actually woodland with little towns sprinkled about that she took advantage of. yes, she did this all on a whim, but that's because her father told her that Tokyo was a city of dreams. She would get there no matter what. Japan's fairly hospitable to runaways by the way, at least most small towns are. In big cities they generally fend for themselves. The town of Kamihara has a policy for runaways where they're allowed to stay only one night for free with dinner. Plus, she'd pack snacks and crap along the way.

I feel like Lavulman right now. XD

Wait. Why are we doing all of this hard work? We should just have sent the apps to Lavul and have him deny them all. Problem solved.

I'm pretending I'm quoting you.

Ooh, okay, I get it now. You're getting into the Lavul mode, and actually seeing beyond our noses. xD See, this is exactly why you're good at this whole RPing on the forums thing. You ACTUALLY ask these questions, and understand them! "Um... why is there a dragon at the convention?" is a pretty big question. I was originally going to toss Kassy straight into the building, but as soon as I thought about it, I realized it made no sense, and I wanted sense to start happening.

No spoilage please, I just don't think I can RP Kristof's reaction to such things as well as I could If I already know. You feel me? I discourage this kind of metagaming in my D&D sessions all the time.

IN THEE END, THE MONSTERS WIN! Bam, Kristof can't have a good reaction anymore. MUHAHAHA! Eheh. In response to what I just said, I love it when you actually don't know how an RP is going to end! Another reason why RPs can end up being more fun than writing a book. Books get: More structure, better control over characters, and much better focuses on 'the objective'. Among other things as well. RPs get: Well... chaos... but that's not fun (Unless it's Chaos: The RP.) BUT, we get ideas from tons of people, different characters thrown around, other plot 'discovered' as opposed to being planned.

Snap.

Huh. You learn new things everyday.

Thats good enough for me, I accept her now! And I hope this talk about being in a, "Lavul" mood is a compliment.

I had to do a serious amount of research into Japan for a world history class. She assigned a 40 page paper the beginning of the year and told us we had til' a week from the end of school to finish. So, I have fairly extensive knowledge from documentaries, travel agencies, biography's, autobiography's, and history books about Japan, and general cultural knowledge. Lavul's a bit like that drill sergeant in Full Metal jacket, except he actually has a good side. When doing apps, he is as ruthless as possible, and cannot stand minor discrepencies of any sort. Yet, when you actually get to know him, he doesn't feel like much of a perfectionist. So, he scares off over half of people who try to join the RP with thoroughness. Also, i added that stuff into her bio, minus the trivia stuff.

Kurano - accepted Minami - accepted Kristof - accepted Naoto - Accepted Kassy - accepted Rose - Denied Alex - Denied The One's Characters - Denied Pharaoh has yet to comply to application rule 5 for me to try and accept or deny. The One has not done anything yet regarding changes, and must first delete characters off of the character's tab and post them here. Alright, I've moved this over here now. I think most of our characters can be put back now. Unless Tek says otherwise. We should maybe just wait for The One and Pharaoh to at least attempt to fix their stuff before we decide whether we want to keep them or not, rather than set a hard time limit.

I've sent PMs to everyone! Ragna and Unraveller are in both PMs. I had to send a separate PM to one of them because of limits. I failed to mention the time limit. If they're accepted by all three of us, yes! Which all five of our GM characters have been. In Progress: Minami: 1/3 Yes. 1/3 No. 2/3 Votes so far. (Unraveller say says No. Tek says Yes.) Denied: Rose: 0/3 Yes. 2/3 No. 2/3 Votes so far. (Tek/Ragna say No, because of the rule violation) Alex: 0/3 Yes. 2/3 No. 2/3 Votes so far. (Tek/Ragna say No, because of the rule violation) Accepted: Kristof: 3/3 Yes. 0/3 No. 3/3 Votes so far. (Tek/Ragna/Unraveller say Yes.) Kurano: 3/3 Yes. 0/3 No. 3/3 Votes so far. (Tek/Ragna/Unraveller say Yes.) Kassy: 3/3 Yes. 0/3 No. 3/3 Votes so far. (Tek/Ragna/Unraveller say Yes.) Naoto: 3/3 Yes. 0/3 No. 3/3 Votes so far. (Tek/Ragna/Unraveller say Yes.) (Votes from no can change to yes. Don't run away please!)

Sorry, I unsubscribed, thinking the Rp had died. So, is this still going on? What's happening now? Sorry......

NP! Everyone has been kicked due to complications. You will have to go to the character's section, and gather up your apps you want to attempt to save. After you move them into an OOC here, you must delete them over there. Then, you can get to work on reading the new rules, and editing up to two of them in an attempt to get them accepted.

If you want to still be part of the RP, you need to do as Tek says now to get readmitted into the RP. I understand if you don't want to, as it can be a little too much of a hassle, but we're doing this so that everything is clear and understandable. There is also a two character per person limit.

Of course, we aren't holding you at gunpoint, it matters not if you are uninterested, what with all the goings on.

Ok, the only problem I have, is the new character limit. If I can only have two, then, can I have the twins as one? Since, they NEVER separate, I post them as if they are one, and it gives me the option of one more, so.... please?

That's entirely up to Tek, as it is his RP. I'm personally only 50/50 on that idea. While, yeah, they act like a hivemind, almost two people sharing the same brain, but there's still two of them. That means even if you're posting them as one, what if they were to use a tactic where one gets behind the monster or flanks it while the other distracts it. Yeah, I realize they aren't that smart and really aren't that useful, but it's all up for Tek to decide. Also, I feel like the twins will be much harder for us to judge, as we all seem to have different ideas on whether they should be accepted or not. They're just kids, they're homicidal maniacs, they have weapons despite the fact that they should have literally no idea how they work and should have killed themselves already at this point. It will take extra long to judge whether they should be accepted or not, and a lot of edits on your part.

I would say simply put, twins are one hundred percent two people. Or else you could be playing octuplets and say that they are never separated.

Twins are considered two people. You may edit them slightly so you can RP them better, but they are still two people. Two different minds, two different opinions, and two chances for posts from two different perspectives. I'm sorry, but they really do count as two. Your other characters may have a chance to join the RP in the future, as we may be more settled in the future. At that point, we may also have less RPers, and may need more characters. But, until then, you will have to settle with two. If you have other characters running around at this point, we can say they have disappeared, if you wish to salvage them, or kill them for shitz and giggles (If you want them dead of course.)

Alright, so what's our estimate on when we can get IC up and running again? The One hasn't deleted the character's yet, so I'm hoping that they decide to pick two characters and start editing them for us to judge.

As much as I'd like to restart as soon as possible I have a feeling it won't be the case.

This is hard......no...this is torture. I never had to cut my characters down so much......OMG. Xd. I always have a LOT of characters, at least 5. But, damn, this is hard. I am stuck between Honobi Mitsuhide, Shela, Mimi, and the twins. Now, Shela, she didn't do much, and probably won't be very useful, but, I like shela.... Mimi will be overall fun, not too badass, sing a few songs, etc. Honobi will be rather badass, but....I don't know...... The twins, I love, but, if I have them, then I can't have anyone else...... OH GOD, HEAVENLY FATHER, HELP ME, JESUS CHRIST! Xd.

Well, I have to go to bed soon, and I won't be able to RP in the morning unless there's a storm that comes through. Hmm... I'm not sure when we start. I'd like to give these other people a chance to respond... but, they can always catch up. Who wants to start? Unraveller, I assume from what you said, you're in favor. Ragna?

We've got a total of five characters with just the three of us. And we have one person for every single sense. Although, I can see why we can't just start right now. We need to clarify whether they will be rejoining the RP or not, that way we can move as fast as possible. A simple, "I'm sorry but I don't want to be a part of this RP anymore." Or, "I do plan 100% on joining again, just wait a bit for me to get edits done." That way we can tell when to start moving on. I am 100% in favor of starting right now, while the rest can catch up.

Lot's of things being spoken about.

I'm sorry, but these are the rules. By the way, if it makes it easier, you might want to pick the characters you can rewrite the best, since all of your characters would probably require a slight rewrite. I'm also used to having a lot of characters, but limiting ourselves right now is important. If this RP requires you to have so many, maybe you're not ready for it. Like I said, you may have a chance to bring them in later, IF it turns out we need more. If you still can't decide, perhaps make two new characters, freshly off the factory line, with fully written stories. *Reads Ragna's post* Well okay then. Let's get this going then! Okay, we need to make a few assumptions. We can turn the current characters being interacted with into NPCs, and possibly have them 'tossed' out of sight, so they may either come back if they want those characters, or let them disappear if they don't. Who's going first? Should I to square things away, and shove characters out of the way? I can PP some into 'being heros' to have them tossed out of the way and 'put away'.
