I honestly don't mind whichever mission Duke gets tossed into. Though it seems like a few have already called for the Battle for Ledale. So, I may be going with a daring attempt

@Rizza
If everyone chooses the same mission, the second one will either be scrapped or completed afterwards. So, it's not like both have to be completed at the same time. Choose whatever you want!

Heck yeah!

I think I will also sign on for the Battle of Ledale. Despite being an intelligence member I feel either suit Pardosa's interests.

I think most people chose 'Battle for Ledale', except for @Mr Rage and @71452K (?). Either way, I'll consolidate us all into the Ledale mission, and then we'll do 'Daring Attempt' after it. I'll keep the two mission format for the sake of choices in the story, and then either split the party if there is an even number on both, or do them one after another all together.

Hunts, however, will remain as they are. They're done in Flashbacks, so they're independent from the story. It's a good way to start bonding with other characters. Exactly when the hunts take place is not all that important, but it will definitely be before the current missions. I'll get in on this as the story progresses. Sometimes it will make sense to have the hunts before the whole story, sometimes it makes sense as a breather between missions.

Whilst we're all for the same mission, Liesabet will be having taken part in the hunt: Deep Inside. Anyone is welcome to join. In my visionary, Liesabet tends to singular and solo affairs, but in this endeavor more is possibly required to secure those resources and gather intelligence on the creature within per the detailing of her superiors.

I'm tagging everyone like crazy today, but there is another thing I have to go through. As you all probably know, roleplaying is a battle with activity and commitment. I won't blame anyone who wants out, but I know it's really difficult for some to say it, so they just 'disappear'. I'm just going to say that that's fine. I won't start a witch hunt or put you on a shitlist. I'll simply bump the interest check and get someone else.

For posting, we'd rather take quality over quantity. Remember to check the rules for the roleplay. First, the "React, Act, Observe, and Reflect"-scheme for posts, and then the "no wait"-policy. As for length, my first post is what I'd consider a 'comfortable' post. It's not too long, it's not too short. Of course, you'll have to go over it or under it depending on situation in the roleplay, but always refer back to 'quality over quantity' in that regard.

I think if everyone went ledale I'd be fine with it! Going to get my laptop back tonight, post incoming in about 23 hours. :). @Prisk

Also, decoding the message. Currently: Royalty coming on yellow waters, probably X-men. Ehhh...@Rockette

@Prisk Busy day yesterday- but I have time to start up writing my post now! Should be up in the coming hours :) Happy that we are getting started!

I posted. It is a bit slag, I apologize. I'll expand on it when I am not as tired.

Oh, you shouldn't force yourself while tired! Take a nap or sleep. Post when you are well and rested, instead! I could never write while sleepy, hah.

Just as I write an intro, three posts pop up shouting "We're at the hangar now!" And I'm like still at the dormitory part of my post. °^°

Time to add yet even more to my post! D:.

@71452K
Hah, well, we want to get interaction going right off the bat. Keep things healthy!

Healthy you say? :3.

It was incomplete, my post, but now the content is largely complete. All that is left is a little fornatting, maybe an image or two and a clickable link for the Arboretum/Atrium theme song.

Song added.
@Prisk

Let me know if there's anything odd you all would like to change about my post, the post itself was written hastily at the second part and I think it might show. I ...was not prepared for this. @Mr Rage@EurmalEye

Thinking about how I can fix my post, I wandered away from the guild and ran into this gem... enjoy!

Just woke up, been tired as hell, just started working overnight. I got a free day though, so I'll be posting soon.

Heya! I've been unusually swamped the past week, but I think I'm back in the swing of things schedule-wise. I did finish my character, though! I apologize if it's already too late for me to join, but I figured the worst that could happen by submitting my chara is being told that, so, a voila!

@Prisk

I didn't read the "How to mess with English majors" part and thought this was a genuine article everyone liked, damn it I spent the whole night thinking something is really wrong with the way I post. Especially since it was made immediately after my post.

@71452K
Pretty cool music in the post! Sounds very Final Fantasy. Also, posting images and such is fine, but do run it by the OOC so that I can edit it a bit!

@Rizza
No worries. You post when you can.

@Panko
Never too late to join! Character sheet looks good to me. I think we should need to talk about Abysso and Celise a bit! Please add the sheet to the character tab at your leisure. Don't forget to do some shopping for 1000 Gil!

@Prisk I'll get to spending the 1000 gil right away!

First things first, though, upon reading Celise's sheet as well as the few IC posts, the two would have a comfortable working relationship (at least on his end), but Abysso's aversion to intimacy or prolonged physical contact might discourage the possibility for them to have any particular friendship outside of utility. Celise seems very warm and personable, and by no stretch of the imagination is Abysso the same way. Despite maybe failing to understand why she's so touchy-feely, if she's good at her craft, he'll have a healthy amount of respect and confidence in her. He happens to favor subtlety and stealth over the tanks and big mechs of the army, but that's just catering to what he does best.

He's a bit of a workaholic, so he's likely to spend more time in the labs and workshops than he is in his own dorm/barracks. Speaking of which, would they have roommates at this point? Abysso's attended Oakridge since he was very small, so if the class isn't massive the others probably would know him by face and name, and vice versa. Are there any extra curriculars or clubs available? Aside from having worked with other students from the Navigation Division, if the academy had any interdisciplinary programs or projects, he also would have an opportunity to work with students from other divisions, though I'm not sure if that's how the academy works or if they all generally stay to their own field.

He's trained in specifically the design and to a lesser extent the assembly of weapons, as far as mechanics go, and has a natural knack for pursuit and tracking people/creatures down. So if he was appointed/volunteered to help design weapons or armor for other students, or if someone from Research were to ask him pointers on what to look for while tracking specific creatures, he could know them that way. His circadian rhythm is asks completely awry, so if the dining hall or other facilities are open at odd hours, he'd be quite familiar with the other night owls. The largest congregation of spirits within him takes the form of two big, fluffy birds, and they kind of just do as they please, phasing in and out unless he's able to convey he needs their assistance. Would spirits be corporeal? That is, if one were to acquire enough spirits would they be able to have their spirits attack directly akin to a familiar or summon or is that unheard of?
