[OOC] Dreamweavers

[defineunique]

I've been putting some thought to the setting of all this. I don't think it should be wise to use a place already in existence, but we could pretend it is. Perhaps a small town? Or maybe an average sized town? Not so small that everyone knows everyone but not large enough that they couldn't travel anywhere without a car.

[IVIasterJay]

I've updated the OP with the characters that I've accepted so far. That ended up being all of the completed sheets. My goal if five characters, and right now it's at four. I may add a few more spots depending on how I work through some of the plot I am ironing out right now.

If you haven't been accepted, it might be because you didn't read through the rules close enough (#5 hint hint).

DemonTongue, your thoughts on the setting were greatly appreciated, and I will probably go along with most of your ideas. I'm thinking a mid-sized town, large enough to have it's own schools, but small enough to be able to walk to anywhere a kid would want to. As for your ideas about the plot, while yes, it is very open and the characters will be free to do what they wish most of the time, there will be certain forces coming in to steer the plot in a certain direction.

So, what all do we need to do before we are ready to begin the IC?

[Skye Autumn]

Elizabeth Winters

Name: Elizabeth Winters
Age: 14 years, 6 months, one day, four hours.
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Her dream appearance doesn't differ -much- from her regular one, she's slightly taller and seems a little older, but only by like 2 or 3 years, and that has a reason I won't spoil.

Personality: Rather introverted, not showing much interest or affection to anyone or anything publically. Trying to seem indifferent and/or annoyed most of the time, partially because that's what she considers to be 'badass'. Also quite pessimistic, for the sake of not being one of these unbearable happy-at-all-times kids. On a usual day she'd be found scribbling in some notebook, somewhere slightly off and far away from the spotlight, yet still close enough to social interaction to eavesdrop and observe. She's not making an awful lot of friends, to add insult to injury. This is partially due to her general lack of interest in any activity - be it sport, cultural topics or idle chatter - which makes it difficult to talk to her about anything whatsoever.

History: Nothing spectacular, not much to say, not very important. In a nutshell: she has no siblings, is living with her Dad, parents are divorced. Her father's too busy to spend much time with her, and she's not complaining about it. In school, she's about as noticeable as the dark yellow crayon in your average crayon box. It's there, but nobody bothers with it. I don't plan on getting the family part much in the way of things.

Thoughts: Huh. Thoughts, those are quite something, mhm. Humans have them, so I have some too, obviously! (beep boop.)
Yeah well, I'm unsure. This might have rambling involved, so feel free to skip this part for your own benefit. I'd really not spend much thought on the old man. I mean if someone came to me and told me personally that I am special and have this ability most people don't have, I'd likely just trust him blindly, and so does my character. It's like (sort of) super powers for free, clearly nobody would question that. How would I care about some bald guy, as long as he doesn't want me to do something in return. Also, my character would likely be sort of unwilling to 'share' the experience, at first. I do have some very definite reactions in mind for a 'first contact' kind of thing. Not quite sure yet how much it'd take to convince her to join some united cause... After all, she could just continue to enjoy her dreams and have them her own way. Either way, it'll be some effort to get her out of her comfort zone. I'm not much of a fighter when it comes to RP, but I'd say that I can handle fighting situations quite well, in a somewhat unusual way, possibly. If there'd be fighting involved - considering the whole 'battling it out' ordeal - then anyone 'invading' the dreams of my character should be prepared for...something unlike a fight.

Dreams: I'd prefer to keep the most part of this secret for IC purposes, as it's a lot more fun to find out/tell a story that way. However, I guess I could reveal that Lizzy is having continuous dreams, keeping her constructed dream world and refining it night after night. So whatever'd happen there would still be visible and present later on, unless she'd decide to remove it manually. She also has not fully grasped the concept of her omnipotence yet, so she's unconsciously limiting her own possibilities.

Also, I'm fully aware that I'm late to the party. No hard feelings should you be forced to kick me outta here.

Edit: Edit: Done and done.

[IVIasterJay]

Late? Nah, though her age does make her an outlier from the currently accepted characters. I'll wait a day to give anyone a chance to update/fix their character sheet before making final decisions and closing the RP to new characters.

[Teal]

Just thought to let you know I am finished with mine, If I am still in time.

Edit: You know what, I am pulling off. I don't think my character would fit on this RP, and I am very lousy at playing 10-to-12 year old kids. For some reason, I can't RP with a character that I can't relate at all.

[IVIasterJay]

Sorry to hear that Teal, good luck in your future RPs!

And Skye, I'm going to accept your character. I would appreciate it if you could make her 14, only because then all of the characters could be in the same school.

Also,

So we have 5 character sheets now. Are we ready to start, or are we still waiting on something?

GM is probably just busy/working on intro post. Life happens.

[defineunique]

That's fine. I was just wondering since the thread has been stale for the last day or so.

[IVIasterJay]

That's the case. I had the majority of the first IC post done yesterday, but then I fell asleep and my computer decided that it was a good time for an automatic update. Pissed doesn't even begin to cover my initial reaction. I restarted writing it already, so expect something by the end of the day.

[IVIasterJay]

This RP is going to be the death of me, so I'm choosing to suspend this until a later date. Between RL smacking me in the face the past week and showing no sign of letting up anytime soon and my computer going haywire every time I try posting, I just don't have the time nor the attitude to breath life into this RP to the level I think it deserves of me. I'm really sorry to do this, and all of you posted really good characters that I would have loved to RP with. If / when I restart this RP, I will be sure to send each of you who posted here a PM and first dibs on spots. Thank you all and again, I apologize. I wish you all the best on your future and current RPing endeavors.

[defineunique]

Don't forget to PM then because I am going to unsubscribe for now.

[IVIasterJay]

I will have this page and all of the CSs saved, both here and in a word document in case of another "incident".

[Skye Autumn]

'tis a shame. I was looking forward to this. Good luck getting your endeavors sorted out. I'll be around in the case of 'if/when'.

[DemonTongue]

Looking forward to it! Good luck and all that :)
