(cant pick mask lol

@Liriia

We've already got a wolf, a husky, and like thirty foxes, so I'd go with the owl. If you want to see all the mask options available with the program I'm gonna be using to make all the character pictures, check 'em out under the Animal Head section.

Holy fuck guys, go easy on this thing, I have work and when I come back to three pages of OOC I get scared.

I'll just leave this here. If there's anything I should change, just let me know and I'll get to it in the morning because I'm tired as heckie. ㅎㅡㅎ

@murdoc
Accepted. I've always been a fan of junkie characters, and the streetwalking past is an interesting angle. Reminds me a lot of Mickey Avalon

@McHaggis
Preemptively accepted in case guild shits itself, I don't think there's some way I could be so enraged by whatever will go in your remaining two categories that I would reject this sheet.

@Dynamo Frokane
I will neither sugarcoat this or be a dick about it: Your sheet is too short by a large margin. Beef it up with some details. A lot of details. The only thing I know about your character is that he's big, and that he's a skilled brawler, killer, and lovemaker who likes milkshakes, and his only real weakness is that he has allergies, so he's already edging towards Mary Sue territory. Also, he needs an animal mask in that description.

@Jaybreezy
Good start! I'd like to see some more details about him, and details that set him apart from the average gang member. Keep in mind, there are dozens of gangmembers besides the characters in the RP, the only difference is that our characters are more unique than the run of the mill thugs and are always spouting of philosophical musings about how unfair the world is and shit like that. Currently, Jay just sounds more content to get schmacked.

@Kalas My rendition of Apollo is up, hope you like.


FUCK HE'S HOLDING IT UPSIDE-DOWN

Holy fuck guys, go easy on this thing, I have work and when I come back to three pages of OOC I get scared.

@The Scotsman

I do agree. While I like role playing, I do live in Australia myself and not everyone here is American. So if people start speed posting, pushing out other potential replies like my own, I won't be enthused about participating.

Keep in mind as well that any replies with more than one other in a room should probably have an opportunity for multiple people to respond. There is nothing more lame than 2 characters having a conversation with the third just standing there like a gawking douche.

So please, respect your peers, cause their actions are just as important as your own. :)

@NuttsnBolts
There's a big difference between speed posting the IC and the OOC though. If someone doesn't get a chance to respond to something in the OOC, it's generally not a disaster because they missed out on dropping a killer line or making a good joke and they can always just quote the post in question. Obviously it's different in the IC but I don't think anyone in the thread doesn't know that or intends to rush through scenes and leave those in different hemispheres behind.

[NuttsnBolts]

@Roosan I do completely understand, but I remember a Tokyo Ghoul RP that I entered where the IC started before work and by the time I finished work, there was 20 plus, advance length IC posts with several people including the GM posting multiple times.

Admiditly this isn't that RP, nor do I believe we will have that problem here. I'm just wary on posting speeds. Didn't help that I basically got told to keep up or drop out cause they weren't slowing down for anyone (they also wondered why it died after a few weeks which was hilarious as hell!)

[Barrett]

@NuttsnBolts
Well, obviously some role-plays do go at different speeds to others and some people prefer things to be quick fire and speedy. That's not wrong, doesn't make the players unskilled or asshats and doesn't necessarily doom them to crashing and burning or anything like that. But I personally prefer things to go at a slightly more sedate post, not least because it lets me be in more games.

Making character sheets is too much fun, someone should stop me.

I'd like to second this, all the way from GMT. I'm not telling you what to do, of course not, but if there's 10 IC posts over the course of a night I'll drop this quicker than a booty on a dancefloor, no matter how much I love the story. It's just shit when something you are genuinely interested in begins punching out posts at the speed of light.

@Roosan

Being someone who has GM'd and participated in their fare share of stories, I will disagree. Those that can't post often or can only post when everyone else is sleeping get left behind both in the development of writers' relationships and in the IC. If you aren't able to post that killer one-line when everyone is watching, they wake up, scroll through their Subscriptions and pass by your post. There's no interaction there. So while I can stomach a hefty OOC count, it doesn't mean there won't be any issues arising from it. This is just my observations over the course of 7~ years, and the people involved always make the difference, but I still believe it's too common of an occurrence for it to be dismissed.

EDIT: To any Bombers out there, after I make my introductory IC post I'm thinking about doing a collab with someone who is preferably in a similar role in the gang as Maxim. An enforcer or hitman, something like that. PM me or tag me in here to let me know.

@DeadBeatWalking Holy Shit!! That looks so legit man!! Just need the 'chete the right way up.

As for the speed posting issue, easily negatable if people just get together on TitanPad or PMs and collab that shit. Can we all just agree to do that before we start?

[jaybreezy]

@DeadBeatWalking Gotcha. Anything you'd want me to fix up specifically?

[Esoteric]

I leave to go do some laundry, and there are three new players when I come back. I'll be a monkey's uncle.
Adding Gender, Years with gang, and Other as CS sections, so those of you working on your sheets (And those of you who are finished and have been accepted) should add those. Working on notes for submitted CS's.

@DeadBeatWalking

I think mine is very clearly, obviously, slap you in the face woman. But I'll add them ^_^
