Everything looks very good, both Part 1 and 2! You did very well, this is exactly what I would've hoped for. Character accepted! Please repost Part 1 in the character tab.

I'm gonna go ahead and start typing up some of my posts, so once everyone's got a character and is ready to go we can start pretty quickly.

Done! Looking forward to everyone else's!

Same here, I eagerly await what you guys come up with!

Question! If I so wish my character's name to be revealed IC, may I leave their "name" as "TBR" on my Part of the character sheet that's public? :)

That'd be fine with me. I can work around it no problem.

On second thought, Elora's name has already been made public... Could you give me a nickname or an alias on part 1, and keep her real name private?

Is that alright with you, corneredbliss? Since I didn't really give you a choice regarding names

That's fine with me! I don't really mind. Elora won't know anyone's name in character yet anyway, so whatever you guys need to do is a-okay.

EDIT: And you can just call me Bliss! It's easier than getting it all out haha.

Names were a thing I struggled with when making the thread, dumb though that may sound. They were gonna be hidden at first, but I figured that my character (the voice from the prologue) would need something to call the other characters by. But I can just hold off on calling anyone anything until everyone's had a chance to get to know one another.

Basically I'll just call everyone's character by whatever name they reveal.

It doesn't sound dumb at all. I know I went through the same thing on the last game I GM'd, and ended up just making everyone send all of their character info to me through PM, so the players literally went in blindly.

If you'd like, I can replace Elora's name with her nickname so that you can have everyone do the same for whatever name they want to put out. I don't mind that it's already been out since, like I said, the other characters won't know it in the game until it's revealed anyway.

I'm okay with whichever one you wanna do.

Also I sent a PM to Silver Carrot since he's the only one who hasn't popped in yet. This is still pretty young so I'll give him some more time.

I definitely want to be in this. I'm going to aim to get my CS written tomorrow.

Excellent!

I'm gonna have my first post typed by tonight, so once everyone's ready we can start right away. I'm gonna try to stay ahead of the game and type stuff in advance, but not so far in advance that I can't change stuff based on character actions and feedback.

I'd like to get your opinions on something. Sometimes I'll have to determine things during trials like whether a certain action is favorable or unfavorable, or what will award points and what won't. Stuff that I'll have to keep secret until the trial is over. I wanted to have a way to prove I made those decisions in advance and didn't just make it up on the fly, and here's what I came up with. I'll PM that info to myself before the trial starts, screencap it with a time stamp, put it on imgur and then post it here.

Here's a sample:



Does this work for you guys?

I also edited the character application a little bit, just to add that you can use photos and aliases if you want to.

Oh, cool haha. I'd trust you either way, but that is pretty handy. Works for me!

@Shohmyoh I'm totally cool with that too. :)

I've also finished my character, heya!

-----------



Approximate Age Range: Late 30s

Gender: Male

Appearance: Dio is a man age is now beginning to catch up with. He stands at 6'1" with a posture that's evidently imperfect, his upper body leaning forward as if from a result of bending forward for long periods of time. His hair is short, far from straight and a dark brown, nearly black, colour that comes away as white at some of the roots. His arms are a slightly darker shade of tan than his face and his neck, and the natural colour to his skin betrays his Latin American roots along with his hardened, dusky hazel gaze. His facial hair is well kept though in the same salt-and-pepper state as the hair on his head.
His presence can be described as smart, encompassing and authoritative on first glance.

Attire: He seems to be wearing what can be classed as a moderately expensive black suit jacket and trousers atop a crisp white shirt. At his wrists, along with a proud, if slightly worn, Rolex on his right one, glitter small, silver cufflinks of a particular logo you can almost place, before realising it's a stylised caduceus. He wears two rings - and two rings only - one of them being a simple silver wedding band on his left ring finger (the skin underneath it is at least two shades lighter than the rest of his hand's and arms) and another ring on his right middle finger that's by comparison more delicate but houses a topaz that glows warm and orange like honey, or the sun.
Under the dark brown leather of his belt, pockets show the outlines of some typical belongings, a modern enough touch-phone, car-keys, a wallet, some coins in change.
The inside pockets on his suit jacket hold more ambiguous looking, solid items. The arm of a pair of sunglasses can be seen poking out from the top.
He wears formal shoes in the same shade of brown as his belt and his tie is loosened as it hangs around his neck.

If you met this person on the street and didn’t know them, what would be your first impression of them?
You would assume Dio to be a businessmen like them all, dressed slick and ready to talk anybody into anything. Or you might think he was some hotshot in a company, flaunting their wealth above the others'. On further inspection, his eyes and mannerisms would betray a more serious man, with a deep voice like silk from the big-screens carrying forward his words, though with the definite hints of a hispanic accent as well as the address "señor" or "señorita".
He looks to be a man who can hold his own in a fist fight, and might be more than big talk. If he did talk big, that is.

Character accepted! Please add part 1 to the character tab when you get the chance.

As both a metal fan and a JoJo fan, his name makes me smile, haha.

Hahaha, yeah, my mind immediately went to "Holy Diver" when I read the alias. Looking forward to playing with you as a male, Ging. Should be fun!

I...you'd be surprised, I actually have never seen a single episode of JoJo, though I've had some friends pester me about it before. I told them the overwhelming masculinity made it too hilarious to ever be taken seriously for me xD
But I hear Dio is a character from that, so that's nice.
The taking of the name for me was based on a particularly lovely character from a game called Virtue's Last Reward. :)
Moving!

EDIT: @corneredbliss Oh, I'm shaking in my boots already :')
But at the very same time, I'm looking forward to it too.

Señorita.

EDIT EDIT: I am also super super super excited now to see everyone else's characters :D

!!! Oh my goodness, you're a friggin' gem.

Anyone who's still working on their characters, feel free to go ahead and post part 1 if you have it ready. I'm eager to get a taste of your character, even if you're still working on your part 2.
