[OOC] The Rising Tide

[jennifer lost the war]

I'lll probably post before then, but we could agree to leave Elysia alone until then.

[Ryver et Rhine]

O.o I don't really have a say in that. Truly but I shall try to work something out with Kirra.

Thanks though guys. Really appreciate it. RPing from a handphone is too hard. Only have computer access next week.

Sorry that I haven't posted yet guys. I've been busy and it's going to be a busy week. Have to present my senior thesis on Wednesday. On the bright side, I'll be writing about the film Memento

If you haven't seen it, Nicolas Cage weeps.

[Rina]

No worries, life happens. Take as much time as you need because that is much more important than school work. Don't worry we won't be deserting you that easily.

Hmm, that movie sounds tempting. I might have to see it.

[jennifer lost the war]

It's an incredible film.

Sorry all I have an essay due on Friday. FULL PANIC MODE...

[jennifer lost the war]

Indeed, it's just that time of year right?

Sounds good Am, I'll try to have a post soon =p

[Gerrigen]

Hey there everyone! At this point I always have the urge to type my name, yet I always delete it when I realize how foolish that must look with my username plastered directly above haha. I was just approved to join the role-play, so I thought it best to introduce myself to everyone. I am 22, recently married, and a pre-med student with dreams of writing a novel. My favorite roleplays are generally those that provide a grand conflict which paves the way for some epic character building. Needless to say I thought this RP was right up my alley! I am very excited to write with all you, please give me any advice on roles which need to be filled so that I can tailor my character to fit the story!

Great to have you on board, Gerrigen.

I think only one of us has a poet for a main character, so another one of those would be cool. But I'd also like to have somebody take the slightly more special role of the leader of an underground organization of poets. Pm me if you'd like to be the latter. There are just some details I'd like you to know if you want that one. If you want to be a regular poet, just remember that they must be a beginner.

Of course, as you've probably read in the interest check, you can be just about anything, so if you don't want a poet role, then go crazy =p

[Ryver et Rhine]

I know! =(

I wish essay writing was as easy as writing an RP post. It isn't...

Anyhow welcome aboard Gerrigen! =P I was highly tempted to call you future Robin Cook but I don't know what genre you prefer writing.

[Gerrigen]

Name and/or Alias(es): John Canter a.k.a Dante.

Age: 45

Sex: Male

Occupation(s) (if any): Poet and teacher. Leader of the resistance.

Race and Origin: Born in Indiana, United States.

Appearance: At 45 John has managed to mostly maintain the athletic physique of his youth, though his age can be seen in the creases which have grown outward from his eyes and the gray touching his temples. His eyes are a cold gray, reflecting the inner pain and anger which burns in his heart. John’s hair is a sandy blonde, and he comes in at 6’4 with both a wide chest and arms. His face features a strong jaw, with prominent cheekbones; Though never called pretty, rugged may very well fit the bill. Aspiring poets who come in contact with Dante quickly realize that his physical body is simply a shell for his presence, an aura of purpose exudes from his every pore.

Equipment (if any): N/A

Abilities/Talents (if any): A master of magic imbued poetry

History: Will be shown in subsequent flashback post.

Yeah, I've been in the same boat as you this past week Ryver. I have one more paper left to do for midterms and then I should be good until finals decide to pop its ugly head up.

Hello Gerrigen! I'm glad to see that you've joined! It's going to be interesting to see when our characters meet seeing how she despises Poets.

[Ryver et Rhine]

You are so spot on! =( I procrastinated till I am penalized for my final mark. Oh well I don't really care.

I just prefer to have something well done.

=D Kirra!

Lol we can do it! Go us...

[Rina]

Yes! Stay strong!

[Gerrigen]

Procrastination is the name of the game haha. All nighter are part of the college experience! Am, I have always wanted to be a surgeon, but I may go anesthesia. It is much much better for a family, as far as hours are concerned. Ryver, I actually enjoy writing just about anything. Romance though is my weakest haha, I suppose that may be a stereotypical guy trait.

I am working on that post, hopefully it comes out good. My excitement on getting back into the game after a couple years is building.

Edit: Kirra we may have to avoid each other so we don't end up trying to kill one another lol. I'm still trying to read through the whole IC to get a better grip on the interplay already growing between everyone.

[jennifer lost the war]

Sorry Gerrigen. The first post is still kind of out dated. You don't need to write flash back posts, that was just a phase we did and now we're done with it. My first post on the second page signifies the beginning of the present time in the RP. So feel free to write out your character's history when you can. Also you can post your finished sheet here.

It's not much of a thesis yet. I just needed to present my idea for what I wanted to do last Wednesday and get feedback from the class and professor so that I can refine it more. My senior seminar class is centered around revenge tragedies, so Memento fit nicely (and I wanted an excuse to watch it again =p)

But yea, it went well. I've gotten a lot of positive feedback.
