For now I would suggest that you only make one character. We would like to see your first character first before you get too crazy with a second one. A few other players have multiple characters either due to not wanting ti play their old ones or proving that they can manage two characters at once.

And I suppose you can make a sort of newspaper club, but considering how high tech this world is, I doubt we actually use newspapers. Maybe something like a journalism club or something?

As for a recap, sure. The most recent events involve the Ebony Strykers; they were attacked by an army of outlaws (Basically players who PvP and attack other players in the wild) lead by a hacker named Corpse Collector. She had been defeated after being betrayed by one of the other players, who announced her intentions to destroy the Ebony Strykers. And while the other players managed to fend off the Outlaw army attack the city, a new conflict has brewed between characters in the Ebony Strykers, and the other guilds look for weakness in the Black Guild.

Cut to now and it's been a few days after the attack. Currently, it's afterschool and everyone is going home. Some have gone into Deep Ground while others have things they're going to do in real life. 

Anything in particular you're looking to get involved in?
