You seem to regard me as a simpleton-adolescent.

Nah, Anime doesn't appeal to me. I can't remember the last time I willingly watched anime (my younger cousins dragged me into it once but...). It wasn't their tradition and samurai and the JSDF. I wanted to try emulating the Japanese spirit a bit, inasmuch as I know it. And the reason why I kept playing the same character is because I didn't get to really play him, explore him. Instead, the RPs kept dying on me.

You know, playing as an African ultramarathon runner was one of my considerations. But I'm going to need to take time out from roleplayerguild. Again.

I regard you as someone I don't quite understand, but that's neither here or there. I hope you find whatever it is you're looking for. There's plenty of other post-by-post sites, perhaps you should try those? It seems apparent to me that you're after something the Guild hasn't got, and if three failed RPs is the reason you're running, then I'll save you the hassle and tell you quite plainly that no matter where you go, it is always a problem. Players get bored, they get busy; GMs lose passion for their creation and become neglectful.

No Hope is different. As a GM, I'm enthusiastic, dedicated and loyal to my players. I don't suffer AFKers, nor do I allow things to grind to a halt. This RP will continue to thrive, so long as I give the level of care and attention it needs... unless, you know, I screw up with an awful plot twist.

I would urge you to give this a try. If it's the character issue that's stopping you, then I'm sure we can come to a compromise. I'd be happy to continue any discussions regarding your possible entry in PM form, if you'd prefer it to be away from prying eyes.

However, if you're dead-set on leaving the guild, then I wish you all the best. See you around bud.

You don't understand me because you don't know me. I didn't want that UN Peacekeeper to change at all because I wasn't done exploring him and what story he'd go through, but meh...

You're persistent. Maybe I might give this a try. I don't like to leave things in PM though. I prefer to lay things out in the open. Before I commit to creating a new character, I'm going to lay my cards on the table, as my characters tend to take a bit of time to make. It's safe to say that I'm not in a big hurry to join in, so there's that. Here's all of my most developed ideas so far:

- UN Peacekeeper (As I understand, this is rejected no matter what new angle I come in from.)

- Astronaut (One of the oldest ideas I've ever have. Is supposed to be interesting, as he'd come in without any knowledge of what is going on. Will be highly specialised and talented, but may start out physically and mentally disoriented. A trip through space does that to people.)

- Wild Child (One of my award-winning characters. Basically a kid who used to have a life, who used to be gifted, but had lost all friends and family, and darn near lost all of his/her social graces and sanity. Better at surviving than most kids her age, but his/her insanity might be a threat to anyone)

- Ultramarathon Runner (An idea I'd been toying with for a while. Likely an athlete in his/her prime from somewhere in Kenya. Training in all manner of distances in running from a 400m sprint to an ultramarathon. While he might be as fast as a cheetah and runs longer than anything on two or four legs, that's pretty much the only thing she/he's good at. She/He's likely at most of average height, average build, and can't carry too much. Neither is he the brightest guy/girl in the room)

- The Repentant Serial Killer (Another newer idea I've had. Basically used to be an active serial killer before the outbreak, with her/his own MO, nickname and everything. After the outbreak, she/he found his desire assuaged or she/he's even getting more than he could chew. As a result, she/he's a 'changed man/woman'. Predictably good at murdering and killing both the living and the dead, which makes her/him cunning, careful, calculating. And creepy.)

- Doctor Gamble (Inspired by an old manga I read as a kid. He's a straight up gifted surgeon, able to operate in the harshest and resource-spent conditions. Has a troubled past and got into alot of scrapes, which explains why he's good at brawling and throwing/slicing with sharp objects. Has a vendetta against the criminal underworld and anyone who trivialises life. Conversely, he will go all out for people who values life.)

If there's more, I'll let you know. In the meantime, pick your poison, GM.

@Darkraven You know what, you seemed pretty into your JSDF guy and perhaps I was wrong to block his entry the way I did.

Let's make him a U.N Peacekeeper, operating out of Easton Safe Zone searching for survivors - in tandem with U.S Army and National Guard elements. The dead are walking around for no reason and everyone's happy with that, so I doubt anyone will take offence to a minor JSDF presence in America. We'll stick with what I originally proposed, that your man had originally been stationed in Africa during the outbreak there, but was then pulled out when the situation became untenable. He and his comrades were then redeployed to an ailing America, because at the time Japan seemed like it would escape the crisis, and wanted to retain good favour with its greatest international ally by providing token assistance. A move that divided the Japanese parliament, no doubt!

I'm sure there'll be someone who will try to poke holes in all of that, but I'll crush them.

No swords and shields though.

Are we any closer to an agreement?

Man, it took me time to type all that out... XD

By now I'm extremely reluctant to play the UN peacekeeper because of what you said earlier. I had already agreed not to put him in, and it's not in my habit to bicker with the GM. I was already ready to compromise for you.

It is hard decision now to decide what character to write :( I'm afraid for this I'll need time to think.

Fair enough.

The serial killer looks like he/she could be fun.

But ultimately it's up to you. Take your time, and when you're ready, post your sheet in the character tab for me to review.

=_= My baby pigeon of a char is getting ignored. Woold somebody please help him? Or imma have him suck it up and do it himself if things move along.

Hmm... Haven't been able to sleep. I still haven't fully decided yet, but I might just take up your offer to accept the UN Peacekeeper.

At least you'll also know just how many characters I have if and when he dies. Unless my ideas are so good that they were copied XD XD.

Roland will give him a hand I was waiting for others to post but I will get it moving along a little if there are no objections.

It's that or I have you all eaten :P

But in all seriousness, carry on however you guys feel is best. I'm currently designing the next NPC encounter, but can provide zombies enmasse if you need them ;)

Bring that shit on! Roland will take down 500 at once! ... No but really a horde right now would suck lol.

I wanna do a flashback too, but would totally feel like I was just copying everyone else :(

I think I might make a CS for this, if that's okay. ^^

It most certainty isn't, WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!? COMING IN HERE AN-

I'm joking. Of course it's okay. Throw it in the character tab when it's done, and wait for me to look over it. After that, I'll shove your guy/gal into the mess.

Go ahead an even so plenty of opportunity.

Apologies in advance for the utter lack of knowledge of American geography. It's probably wrong. #soz

As a Brit, Google Maps/Street View has been a stalwart companion.

I'll read your application in a sec, and let you know if there's any issues.

EDIT: Accepted. I'll see about getting you in.

Gah! Got ninja'd. Doesn't look like there's anything conflicting with either of our posts though, so I'll leave mine unedited.

Oh, and if you feel like giving your character medical knowledge here's Garret's condition: I feel like I'm killing my own character, but six hours of blood lose is kinda significant.

Hider [+]

Anemia~ which in short causes tiredness, weakness, shortness of breath, decrease of physical capabilities, and at worst can cause confusion, passing out, and an increased thirst.

Not to worry.

GM is here to save the day.

No one post for the next fifteen-thirty minutes, under pain of death :P

Aww poop. I meant to write Garrett, not Evan on that last sentence. Wasnt ignoring your character@OoTrillionoO

Aww poop. I meant to write Garrett, not Evan on that last sentence. Wasnt ignoring your character you incredibly handsome beast you.

Haha, thanks. I thought that might have been the case, but I hadn't been too sure.
