@aphelion Thanks, I liked yours too >< I thought the way you wrote Vivian was great :) and the imagery of the noivern adjusting its distance from an angry Eloise made me chuckle.

@phoenix Well yeah it was sort of a spoiler, not for my character or this RP but it's the most spoiler free game of thrones spoiler I could think of that also accurately portrayed how I felt about the scene xD

If anyone does watch that show I left a decent amount of time before the episode aired and didn't include anything TOO spoiler-y. Judging from the lack of responses I assume it's only me though :(

I answer Pokemon type question tonight...

Epic battles in post two, nice! Must've taken some time thinking all that through, kudos. Nice to see the rangers in action :)

I'm sorta here. Not sure for how long or when I'll be back. Can't say things are all great or if I'll be able to join anytime soon. Might just drop out if it comes to it. Sorry guys.

@Jonnyh447
About half of that was me. @Aphelion was getting all flustered and discouraged with all the NPCs so I took over a little bit to get her acclimated. But I'm quite impressed with how it turned out. She did a very nice job. ^^

@Loony
I'm sure it'll take time that you don't care for it to take. But I'm glad to hear it's improved (however marginally). Don't stress too much. If you're still interested six months from now, hit me up. :D
And I will totally keep you too it. I can creep like the rest of 'em. xP

I'll read the post and start writing mine this week. Got a bit busier before the weekend, then was away all weekend. Also busy this week so no guarantees since it's taking me a bit to write something for this roleplay (sorry)

@Jonnyh447 Thanks! :D I appreciate the compliments.

@Loony No pressure or anything like that to join. I hope everything works out for you.

@Phoenix I wouldn't say flustered, but overwhelmed by the amount of different personalities to write for all at once. I'll get more used to it as time goes on, but I wasn't expecting the whole Ranger party to be in my posts every time. It's something I haven't really ever done (in writing form. I've DM'd DnD campaigns, it's easier there).

@FernStone Life gets busy, I understand. I would like to see a post from you, but I know it's hard to write while under pressure. I hope a good time comes around that you can do it without being pressured at all, so that it's a fun experience for you to write for the two characters. I'm very curious still to see where you go with them. :]

@Everyone

I was thinking about it the other day, and I would like to get everyone's feedback on what they would like out of this (and other) roleplay(s). I'm curious about where your roleplaying tendencies, wants, and needs fall into place so that we can do something fun for you in this roleplay. The code for this will be placed in a hider below so you can easily copy and paste it to fill it out yourself.

Roleplaying Questionnaire


|| Do you like to help create plot-lines? ||

Examples of this would be creating something/someone who influences the main plot line, or a separate one, in some fashion. As for myself, I helped establish the Rangers in this roleplay (along with @Loony and @Phoenix), and we currently have a separate plot-line with them running. It intertwines with the main plot-line, but it can also be influenced by other players who are or aren't Rangers themselves.

If the answer is yes, please consider PMing @Phoenix and myself with any possible plot-lines you would like to see develop here. It doesn't have to be anything big or extravagant. Even small ideas can grow into something so much more intricate.


|| What sort of setting(s) do you like? ||

This one is a bit broader of a question. Do you like mystery, adventure, exploration, action, murder, conspiracy, etc.? I, personally, like character development, mystery, exploration and adventure. To help us understand why or how you like the settings you like, please explain why you like each of them.


|| What is your preference on post length? ||

I've noticed the posts being submitted are quite long, and I understand that it can be intimidating to go through and read all of them. Do you find it too time consuming to read long posts, or are long posts something you enjoy to read? I tend to love writing long posts, but dread reading long ones if they get backed up and I can't seem to catch up. There's nothing wrong with finding it difficult to read all of them. Life can be quite busy.


|| What do you like about Pokemon? ||

For me, it's because I grew up with it and imagined myself in the world. I liked the idea of exploring fantastical places that Pokemon shaped or built. What do you like about it? Is it the battles, or the idea of catching a lot of different Pokemon? I would love to hear what about the series catches your eye.


|| What inspires you to write? ||

I find that I tend to be inspired by other writers to write more. Their posts and ideas make my own ideas flourish. However, this answer can be quite broad as well. I also have "the mood" that hits me to write. What inspires you?


|| What makes it hard to write? ||

I tend to have life get in the way a lot. It's hard to get around that reason. Life can encompass so many issues, whether it's work, school, or something more personal you'd rather not share. I have other reasons that I tend to find writing hard, though. One if them is feeling like what I've done isn't appreciated. I tend to pour a lot of work into my posts, so if they get critiqued or if people ignore them it makes it hard to find the inspiration to keep going.




There may eventually be more that I find out that I want to ask, but I would greatly appreciate it if everyone could fill this out. It's not necessary, and I don't want it to be a chore for you. However, I think it could really help me and @Phoenix out to know these things.

@AphelionYeah I've been feeling a bit drained writing wise, which is odd because loads of good things in life. But yeah super busy does not go well with a first post (which tends to be the most difficult). I'll hopefully get time in a week or two - things quieten down a bit around seeing friends ect.

@FernStone I go through phases of being super energized to write, and then not energized about it at all. It's perfectly natural, at least to me. I think we'll be okay to wait the two weeks, so don't apologize or feel guilty about not posting. :] We'll be here.

I'm making a new character at the moment (and not one of the billion NPCs I control XD). I'm excited to write up a CS for her and get to writing her first post. :]

@Aphelion Very nice questionnaire and very nice formatting. Thank you for making that up. I'll definitely try to get that filled out tomorrow. ^^

And I just realized how I kind of took credit away from your post, and I apologize. And I didn't mean to demean your RPing capabilities. I fail at communication at times. :(

As for long posts, I, personally, don't really intend for every single post to be so long. That'd be real obnoxious xP

@Phoenix It's alright. Text can only convey so much of an individual's meaning.

I'm surprised how fast time flies to be honest. It seems like I just posted yesterday, but it's already been 6 days. Like holy crap how???? I'll have to get to work on that next post and my CS pronto. It blew my mind that it's basically been a week since the last post.... wow. Just... wow.

Well, I'm just so embarrassed that I couldn't even take the time to fill out the questionnaire yet. There were some circumstances, but I dislike making promises I don't keep.

I hope to get a part up of my own, though. ^^

Roleplaying Questionnaire


|| Do you like to help create plot-lines? ||

Yes, which is why I usually GM most RPs I'm in. There are other reasons, of course. My head is filled with possible paths characters can take and where they can end up and what would challenge them and what I'd like to see them face for possible character development.


|| What sort of setting(s) do you like? ||

Adventure: Exploring new worlds, developing them, and creating lore and languages is fascinating to me and I tend to spend a lot of time and energy investing in their creation.

Action: I've dabbled in Arena/Combat RPing. The way most people do it isn't my favorite. You have all seen how I portray combat, which is my preference in writing combat.

Suspense: @Jonnyh447 has currently experienced the way in which I'll seldom write. Very vague, exaggerating, and dramatic. I like to push an idea into the reader that's inherently false but still has some subtleties that show that the appearance isn't entirely what it seems.

Intrigue: Pushing character/cultural boundaries, backstabbing, manipulation, and sleight are all very interesting to me. I very much enjoyed House of Cards (American Version), to give you an idea of how deep I like to go xP


|| What is your preference on post length? ||

I really just try to have it include as much as I need it to. I enjoy reading long posts that push the plot and character, but I can appreciate a short post that can portray just what it needs to in the way in needs to.


|| What do you like about Pokemon? ||

The vast universe it inhabits and the lack of lore created for it. I've always imagined the game differently than it played and have wanted dual-typed moves, triple-typed Pokemon, and the current moves restrictions I have this RP for a long time.

I started off with the game and had the TGC for a while. I'm still a dedicated fan and plan on getting Sun when it comes out (my brother is going to get Moon ^^).


|| What inspires you to write? ||

My imagination. Reading can spark my imagination. Reading books, others' posts, or even articles of subjects I'm researching for writing all inspire me to write. What drives me to actually write is to share it with others. And, so here we are. ^^


|| What makes it hard to write? ||

Muse. When I'm not researching, communicating with others, or trying to create anything, my muse can get low. So, right now, I'm Collabing with @Aphelion and @Jonnyh447 to keep my muse alive (it doesn't die, it just fades for a time). I've a post for myself, but that was a future scene that's probably not going to happen anymore. My actual post for this RP (for myself, not for the rest of you) probably has two lines due to my muse. But I'm just more invested in playing with others and I'd like to get them inducted into the RP, since I already know it well enough myself. xP

Ooo, rarely do I ever triple post!

Just want to check in with everyone and see how you're all doing.

I'm going to try to get a post up in the next couple days. Been procrastinating and stuff. ;P

@FernStone Yeah, I know. I remember that PM ^^
You're free to do an intro post that doesn't pertain to the plot of you like. Just write for your character and such if that's all you can muster and you're up for it.

I just know @Aphelion has been worried that no one's posting.

Very nice post. I like the additions and edits you made.
Something I found humorous was your use of "queue" instead of "cue." I don't mean to be condescending about it and I'm not telling you to edit it. It just tickled me. ^^

I think I should be able to return soon enough for the RP now, if it's not too late?
