[OOC] Us, Redux

[ML]

Alright. Time to get through these first character sheets.

<Snipped quote by Mercenary Lord>

I'm really thinking my plot twist to include zombies isn't going to fly in this RP anymore after everyone's said the same thing. Shucks. Guess I'm back to the drawing board.

You most definitely can make a CS. Keep in mind though, because of how many people are applying, I'm going to have to be picky with them and select only seven(ish). So you may want to make sure your character will be original enough and different from the ones above.

@Palindromatic

Roger that, captain. We'll see what I can come up with. I have a strange urge to play a circus performer, which is something I've never done before in my entire rping career. I'm sure I'll get creative here.

[Gowi]

Working on the CS right now, actually. It's on the previous page.

Do let me know if I get a little crazy with it and need to tone down stuff or flesh stuff out.

[Lord Wyron]

Ok, made a quick edit to my CS to add a Pre-Outbreak and Post-Outbreak pic, since I highly doubt Erik would manage to keep a neatly parted hairstyle and clean shave after the apocalypse XD

[clericbeast]

I'm going to play the massive hypocrite here and say I thoroughly enjoy the diverse range of ages present in the potential cast so far. I promise I'll compensate for making Xerxes fairly young by utterly destroying him from the inside out.

[Gowi]

I think my app is finished, probably. I hope if it's okay to add NPC's to the community through sheets like I did.

[clericbeast]

All these people have completed sheets, and I'm still struggling through the backstory section of mine. Ah, well, I'll probably have it finished tomorrow, I think.

@clericbeast

*hasn't even started on his*
Err, I mean, yeah. Mine's fully complete!

[Gowi]

You'll get there, some day.

[clericbeast]

Oh, also, @Palindromatic, do you plan on creating a group Skype chat for this role play? Or will all OOC communicating take place in the OOC section? (Frankly, I don't care either way, but I am a bit curious, haha.)

@Gowi

Yeah, that's perfectly fine. I hope more people add NPC's. Otherwise they'll all just be nameless background extras/cannon fodder/walking meals for when our characters resort to cannibalism.

@clericbeast

Don't worry; take your time. I made the mistake of making the OOC and then realizing I still need my own character. I didn't really give it any thought, and I don't know why I didn't. Ah, well. I'm off to a great start.

@clericbeast

I must be the only person in existence who has yet to use Skype. Remember landline phones, and snail mail? Yeah... I miss those days.

I've seen some RPs that use Google Docs, and I like that idea for making collaborative IC posts. OOC-talk can stay here for now, I think, unless it gets hectic and we need to rethink it. Honest question: what are the benefits of using Skype chat?

[clericbeast]

@Palindromatic

Primarily accessibility, I'd assume. Its interface is a bit more manageable on mobile devices, and it's got those added benefits of being (mostly) private. Probably a more relaxed atmosphere, too.

@Palindromatic

Accessibility and active chat channels instead of waiting hours between conversations; gathers a community together and great for non-RP related communication as well.

But enough about skype, how about DAT SHEET THO.

[Palindromatic]

A few updates:
1) I made a CS for Annette. It's linked in the NPC list on the front page, but can also be read here. I feel like the leader and important character deserves a bit more information. I may write ones for other NPCs as well, over time;
2) everyone else who wants to apply needs to hurry up! I want to get this show on the road!

@Gowi

Skype chat doesn't sound too bad. We may just consider it down the road.

Anyway, onto other pressing matters like DOWN-LOW, DAT CHARACTER SHEET FINNA MAKE DEM OTHER THOTS BE LOOKING SOFT!

Thanks, Urban Dictionary.

In all honesty though, I like David, from his great work ethic to his background, it was all a great read. He seems like an interesting character that'd add a fun dynamic. I can see David become Annette's go-to-guy for every problem, and when all hell breaks loose, turning to David to keep things under control when she can't.

In a way, I see David as being The Towers' Batman. Not literally, of course, but the controlling anti-hero. In a good way.

@Palindromatic

The irony of me using Gary Oldman is not lost on me.

Yeah, though I imagine a better way to describe him would be "attack hound" or "does her dirty work". Curious to see how it plays out, still reading your sheet to see if it mentions the characters I made today or not.

EDIT: Looks like that stuff will be in the "add to OOC later" category for you, haha. Though our governor overlord looks fantastic and I can't wait to get this show on the road.

[Hank]

Wrote most of my sheet but lost it because the public Internet infrastructure in this country is abysmal. Woe is me.

[clericbeast]

Planning on finishing my sheet this afternoon. Writer's block is a flighty whore.

[Scoundrel]

@clericbeast

Thank goodness I'm not alone.

[Gowi]

You're too slow!

[Lord Wyron]

You know, we haven't even started the RP yet and I'm already convinced you all are gonna be so much fun XD
