More like a sudden lightning strike of inspiration and struggling to get it all down. Oddly I don't really listen to music when I write, which is weird lol.

I know it's not a competition, but I feel like the other games out there in our time-range are completely blowing us out of the water. It might just be GM paranoia, though. Anyway, resilience is the way to go.
By time range do you mean like the same amount of time the thread has occurred? I think it often depends on the genre and the GM style. Often RP’s are just close knit groups that have a standard for posting or deadlines are used effectively. I don’t mind this one being a bit more lax. I also feel partially to blame for speed posting in the beginning and then making that massive post. Anyways I’m back and in the writing mood.

It is what it is. Although, I think certain liberties are infectious. If one starts to do something, the rest will follow.
Gonna try and crank out a post soon (within the next few days)
Was just laid off from my job a few days ago, so I haven't been able to focus on anything other than finding a new position.
Anyways, cheers!
I currently know how it feels! It's very shit, indeed, but just keep up with every other routine in your life, so things don't fall apart entirely.
@DeadDrop@Rockette@Archangel89@Aeolian@Krash@Salsa Verde@Exit I'll move us forward in my next post and mark it 'chapter 2'. The post will assume that everyone gathered up at the Mobile Research Station. They recover there for an hour or so, and then they get ready to enter the city proper once Navigation has cleared out the last bits of Stiggies from bombing runs. As always, any previous notes can be taken care of in a Flashback or just briefly mention in your narrative.
We are also going to revisit our character sheets and add a couple of new sections. All the updates for that are ready soon, so I'll tag everyone again at that point.
I usually don't promise posts, but for the sake of planning and mental prep, I'll get this post out this week.
I'm gonna try to crank out a joint Isolde and Peter post today. *crossing my fingers*
Cheers!
Let me know if anything in my post conflicts with what you are writing or have written, if you started already. Also, if there's anything you want to change about the Portable Research Station in my descriptions, we'll make it happen right away.
Well shoot I get busy again, come back and I missed my oppertunity lol. I'm gonna go ahead and post what I had started and mark it flash back. Feel free to tag me in any possible collars cause Aaron has opinions lol.
The new sections to the character sheet are 'fame' and 'traits'. I've gathered the different steps here in the images to make things easy. Some of the colors in the character sheet have been adjusted. Another change is that we should now focus on 4 techniques/abilities for our characters and 3 elements that are 'dominant'. This is to make the characters feel more unique in their combinations. You can still have any technique/ability that you created yourself, so that is not removed. The text in the 'force' section of the character sheet has been updated to reflect the changes here.
I hope all of this makes sense. I can barely follow the red line here myself. It feels like all sorts of random shit thrown together, which it essentially is. I just want to underline that you won't really notice the traits and all that, still. I mean, we just had a combat scene, and the most you did was to add the cards, which I've updated as well, but I'll add them in later. Combat will continue to be like that, even with these traits and combat 'rules/directions'. The rules/directions give you more control over the bosses in your posts, which is good.
I'm also going to start poking people when 14 days since the last post approaches. I do want to see this game through this time. Although, I'm reluctant to kick anyone out, so I won't do that. However, at some point, if the poking continues, you might have to think about taking care of whatever it is that is distracting you. Real life comes first, always.
Anyway, I'm in the process of doing these character changes to my own characters. Later, I'll update the various places in our threads with these new images/instructions.

P R E S E N C E This section is for appearance description, notes on personality and behavior, or anything else you might think of that is related. A note on character images: I prefer 'realistic' images of people. I know that everyone has their preference and some are uncomfortable with one or the other. I ask that you try, at least, and then we can speak if there is an issue. I can help you with finding an image, if that makes it easier.
C H R O N I C L E This is any noteworthy event in your character's life so far. You choose how much you want to disclose here. The only requirement is a few words about their time in the United Defense Force, and what kind of reputation they have built for themselves.
T R I V I A Anything about your character or relation to other characters can go in here.
F O R C E List your chosen 'abilities', but also add any personal abilities that have been approved. Describe your character's personal weapon. Include which physical feat (if any) that your character excels at above other Aeon. Choose 3 elements that dominate your spirits and list them here. Possible elements: Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Lightning, Ice, Metal, Dark, Aether.
F A M E UNKNOWN FAMILIAR HERO CELEBRITY
Choose one and add any additional notes here about what your character is known for. FAMILIAR and HERO would probably be the most common, but there are no restrictions here—choose whatever fits your character.
