How do I go about creating a pad with it?

Daniel Shichimori <-- This is how his name should be spelled in English
(Shichimori Danieru) <-- This is the romaji spelling of his Japanese name

So, basically you're thinking @Indra makes his hider as 'Daniel Shichimori', and then puts what you suggested as the real name?

A massive collab sounds good, though I guess Lucia might not join in with some of the conversation unless someone strikes something up with her. Cool idea though!

• Seems like the group's pretty much universally in favour of using the collaboration idea, so we'll be going with it unless someone has a problem and states it. I expect people to be keeping up to date with the OOC (as stated in the rules), meaning that anyone who ends up having a problem with using the collaboration idea yet didn't state it has no one but themselves to blame.

• Those of you with any ideas for second characters (a couple of you've mentioned it, though in one of the cases we've discussed that it might be better off as a 'player NPC' instead) are free to bring up questions (either publically or privately) they might have involving them, and should work on getting them ready. I'm not completely closing applications to the public until the recovery from the computer breakdown's finished, but you guys should assume that you will get priority over other people who try to join from now on. Also, the player character applications completely close once we reach a certain plot point. The player character cap's actually twenty, but we don't need to fill that roster entirely. Just know that you guys get priority since the February 5 deadline did get hit. So long as he finishes his character sheet soon-ish, Indra's the exception to this.

• While I've gone out of my way to try and not pick cards for people until I was certain they were ideal, there might need to be minor reconfigurations depending on what we get in the endgame here. Thankfully, no one has even really hinted at what their card is IC. I've just been thinking that giving out the cards in advance like this wasn't the best idea, so I'll do a bit of analysing once I know we've got the entire group accepted.

• We're scratching the previous comment about character applications to the public closing once my data recovery is over, and I'm setting the new date to February 9 (specifically, the moment it becomes Thursday for me -- it's currently 1:19 AM on Wednesday). Indra can still finish up Daniel's CS and get him accepted, but he'll only have until the thread officially closes off to the rest of you creating second characters. This'll happen at a specific plot point that I'll warn people about later.

• I'll be working on my part of the collaboration with Leonard, Rein, and Karlita now. There's no way any of them could arrive at the escort point immediately anyway.

• Conrad and Henneth are the next characters to post. This will then be followed up by Lotus and Tatiana. There's a possibility that Itzal's next post happens somewhere in the middle of all this, but I figure at least one other person needs to post before we do a second collaboration between him and Paula.

• Charlotte and Olivia have been confirmed to be likely arriving at the escort point virtually moments before it shows up. Conrad is stated to not be using the escort, and neither is Tatiana. Leonard, Rein, and Karlita's statuses regarding this aren't relevant because they're too far away to be posting at the escort soon either way. James and Daniel are the characters we don't have accounted for in terms of whether they're taking the escort or not and when they'll arrive.

• I'm waiting until Daniel is finished before moving Annabelle over to the character tab, because I want second/third/whatever player characters to be posted there only once all the first ones are done.

• Further discussion took place in the Discord channel to confirm specific timelines. Conrad's the next post, with the one following his being either Henneth or Lotus -- sounds like they're both roughly arriving at the same time. Tatiana will be able to post at some point during their posts based on when they said they'd be arriving, though she could, in theory, post now so long as she only posts her departing for the estate and not reaching it. Still waiting to get a gauge of Itzal's status, but once we've got a post from Conrad that'll be organized too. James plans to drive himself to the estate, so Daniel's the only unaccounted character.

• As discussed in the Discord channel, Lucia's most recent IC post will be edited to include the time she arrived at the escort point. I want each person who subsequently arrives at the escort point to also post their time of arrival too. This will also be listed by those not taking the escort when the arrive at the estate itself.
