How're posts coming along, everyone?

I'm unable to advance at the current junction.

Hey everyone.

Sorry for holding up, I'll get a post up tonight when I get home from work. My first one was really uninspiring so I've dropped the ball on this but I'll have a good read of everything again and get something up to see if we can move forwards :)

Thanks for the patience everyone I look forward to this still <3

I don't feel like I could advance from my current position. I mean, my girl has just arrived at New York. I could have her do her own thing, but that's not really the point. And from where she stands right now, she's new to the neighborhood. Doesn't know what's going on, why she's been summoned from her home country and what not. I just don't feel like making a post of her doing random stuff simply for the purpose of posting.

I absolutely agree with you. I'm trying to get a post up that will help move things along...I just apparently don't have the ability to write at the moment. I'm trying to figure out what I want Rose to do next that will also help move the story along for everyone.

Okay, I am hoping Codex will post soon and i will then see about Posting to advance again.

Getting worried that this is dying

I think a catalyst of some description might be needed?

Sorry it's a bit short.

My suggestion would be that everyone finds a reason to be at the art auction.

At least then characters can meet and interact.

@Stormflyx@jakeb1993@codex

My intention was that Paulie's boyfriend would be dragging her to the auction under the pretext of just keeping an eye on thing. Casing the auction space and looking for people of note there, with the probable introduction of Aloysius or someone else of importance from Dark Shadow. Blank duty.

Hey, had illness, will post soon.

Still accepting? Would some sort of necromancer be acceptable?

@jakeb1993@codex
Sorry for my lack of activity. I've been going through a lot of bad stuff lately and got pretty seriously ill that I'm still trying to recover from. And all that made me forget to let y'all into the loop.

I'll probably make a post for the gallery tomorrow, probably after 4pm (GMT - 5) when I get off work. Work just been so busy with a sale coming and first of the month.

@FrankenDaughter
Hoping to get some interaction between the long lost friends at the gallery. But who knows how things will go.

Name: James Antonius Xanatos
Gender: Male
Age: 35
[b]Alignment:[b] Guild
Rank within Organisation: Member

Birthmark Shape: A triangle with extra prongs at each point, picture coming soon.
Location of Birthmark: The back of his right hand.
Magical Abilities: Necromancy. Xanatos can reanimate the dead. The zombies he creates are fully aware, with detailed memory leading up to the moment of their death. Depending on how much effort he puts into the spell, they can be barely able to speak, or able to flip a car onto its side. The more original matter that is present, the easier it is for him to reanimate the body regardless of the amount of trauma caused. However, they do seem to feel the pain of their body's damage, frequently moaning or screaming in pain. He seems able to diminish the pain they feel, but not do away with it entirely.

In response to questions on the ethics of what he is doing, he insists that he's not actually hurting anyone, that nobody's soul is being trapped or dragged out of purgatory. Rather, this is a fossil or a footprint left in the world that he is simply running energy into. There is no actual pain being felt, only a recreation of pain that can't be entirely done away with.

Some of the zombies are fully autonomous, thinking and reasoning exactly as their living selves would. Others seem unable to think for themselves, but more obedient to his wishes. It seems that he can sacrifice the zombie's personality and memories for mindless obedience, to whatever degree he wishes.

Place of Birth: Dallas, Texas
Currently Residing: Mystic, CT
Personality: Cheerful, friendly, the sort of extrovert who is reluctant to introduce himself to new people. His humor is a little dark at times, but nothing grievous. He's very polite in the Southern Charm way and despises New York City, going there only when he feels compelled to.
History/Bio:

Relationships
Name:
Relationship (Bold as needed):Best Friends - Good Friends - Friends - Well known - Warm - Acquaintances - Unknown - Cold - Dislikes - Hates - Enemies - Rival - Nemesis
Characters opinion of them: (Why do they feel the way that they do)

@Vonghese That sheet is looking good.

My only issue is that @codex is head of the Guild and I get her to approve guild characters. Sadly it seems like Codex has gone and is not coming back soon...

That's a shame.

@jakeb1993
With the fact that I don't want this to die, and that I'm going through personal hell lately and RPs help me a ton....

Well, long story short I'm offering my assistance to Kickstart this thing back onto motion. I believe Codex will return. I sincerely hope so. But in the meantime we can work on a workaround to keep things rolling.

I can, of course, provide examples of RPs I've been directly involved in to varying degrees past 'just a player' if you'd like, from Advisor to Co-GM to GM.

Let me know if you're interested, and no hard feeling if you aren't.

I just don't want this to die.

I am currently working on a solution to this. I shall post details either today to tomorrow.

If we're basically pulling up I'd like that to be stated clearly at this point. Want to prospect for a new RP but not 'til this one's ToD'd.

I like to keep my Signature updated as well. And I've kept from looking around for another new setting until this one is decided on.

Okay, here is my dilemma.

Codex's character was sort of pivotal to the whole of the plot. The idea was she took charge of the Guild and steered those characters around, without her it sorta gets a bit difficult.

Would anyone be up for adopting her Character. I was going to do it at the start but I realise I can't play both leaders at the same time.

@jakeb1993
I'm more than capable and willing to do such, though I'll need a day or two to read over the CS to try and grasp the character properly.
