posts can be as long as you want. You're encouraged to get carried away in the flashbacks. However, if you're referring to earth, you don't need to get your character there. The Tide begins on earth, but random beings from other planets will find themselves there when the RP begins anyhow (yours and Kirra's characters included). This will be explained in the RP later, but in case you were feeling obligated to do that, I just wanted to make clear that it isn't necessary. Of course, there's nothing stopping you from getting them to earth anyway.
