I wasn't dogging your character, by the way, it was a light-hearted referential joke. Just like my character could be summed up as "not-evil-jim-gordon". I actually find your character dynamic and interesting as well as would find it greatly curious to see how you wrote them in this setting.

[Darkraven]

I'm sorry. I don't know what's gotten into me. No matter how many times I read what you wrote I couldn't interprete it any other way and I got a bit peeved. Recently, it's as if the world hates me for graduating from university. First, a company I've been freelancing for accused me of ineptitude without evidence and then tried to cut me off and cut my payment in half (when they made their editing process a one-way street when it should be two way between all parties). Then, one of my professors basically kicked me in the teeth when I'm down (I missed an appointment we had but it was because I had a much needed epiphany and breakthrough in my FYP and I kept writing until I forgot all about it), when I'm struggling with all my deadlines which came all at once. I still have 2 more deadlines to go. And this afternoon... The least of my problems so I won't mention it.

I hope I didn't come on too strongly. I did want to present my character a bit better.

[Palindromatic]

I was in no hurry to join a new RP as my deadlines are all lining up to punch me in the face, but it seems that I've made a mistake there. Do you guys still have room? Although I'm in no hurry because my character won't be part of the condo group initially. Basically, I wanted to create a feral boy character at first, but since there's gender imbalance here I'm thinking of create a feral girl character instead. Anyway, you know what I'm aiming for; basically part of the demography that's been left out: the desperate outsider and the minor, and partly the female XD.

So... Got room or is it a tight squeeze? I won't join immediately, and I'll take my time with the CS. All I know is that... That feral girl is crawling in the vents of the tower right now, knife in her mouth and SMG in hand, looking for a way in, and she might drop in on someone asleep or the kitchen, and she's willing to kill even for a scrap of meat.

@Darkraven

Hey, Darkraven! Finally you post something! I've seen you viewing this thread a few times. Nice to see you're interested!

Well I do appreciate you wanting to even out the demographic - both in terms of a female and a child. I expect a lot more younger characters than older, and instead it was the other way around. Weird how things work out like that.

I will admit, Valentina seems like an interesting, lethal character. Trying to reintroduce a feral child so badly scarred into a semi-functioning society would be great to read and explore. I know she wasn't as bad off, but it reminds me of Newt from Aliens a bit. But, unfortunately, I am going to have to say we are a little full right now. If you want I can PM you once we have an opening? I'd love to see what you'd do with Valentina, but I feel a group of ten characters would easily get messy and disorganized. Sorry about that! But I'll keep you posted.

Pal: I'm going to put my character in the characters tab for cohesiveness, is that kosher?

@Gowi

Yeah, that's fine. Everyone else can do that as well, if they want. You know, back in my day, we didn't have a whole extra page dedicated to character sheets. The times are a-changin'.

@Palindromatic

True that. It's refreshing to have an approved characters tab over another thread entirely, though. Now get with the IC makey now.

@Gowi

It's just, I write a big paragraph and then think, "Oh, hey, remember that band, Evanescence? Yeah, let's binge-watch their music videos for the next hour." Then I remember I was writing something, but I also remember I still am not caught up with Game of Thrones or Daredevil and, by god, it's a viscous trap, that Netflix. Do you see my dilemma?

The post should be up soon. I'm 75% done it.

Also, @Hank, I hope it's alright with you that I added Sarah to the "Other Residents" list. I think I've gotten all other NPCs from the rest of the character sheets added. If anyone wants me to add any, let me know. There's seven more nameless people walking around The Towers right now, and they're open for name-giving.

[clericbeast]

Moved Xerxes over to the character section. I can't wait for this thing to get off the ground!

@Palindromatic

Do you intend to write (or ask for) better descriptions for POV NPCs? It does read a bit awkward to see the "from David's perspective" on the general write-up for NPCs I made. If you need me to do I can add more descriptive write-ups for you unless you want to do it yourself.

@Gowi

If you want to write a different description of them, that could work. Eventually I wanted to write small CS's for each NPC but would ask people to write their own (unless they trusted me to), but that wouldn't be for a while. So, for now, it's up to you.

[Palindromatic]

Alright, fellows, the first IC post is up! It's a long one, I apologize in advance. I tried to flesh out parts of the community - the places and people - and that sort of took up a lot of room. So, enjoy!

@Palindromatic

I guess I'll just hang around.

[Scoundrel]

I'll look over it when I get a chance to. Speaking of, I now realize I didn't add your character to the list. Well, that's only a bit awkward. Sorry about that.

And you weren't being lazy, you were recharging. Work is overwhelming and stressful, and you just needed time to restore your sanity. Be stoic and humble about it.

@Palindromatic

Recharging? yes but to be fair, I was honestly being lazy even when I had enough rest. And I've never remembered a day when my sanity was brought back to a fair-minded level after work.

Anyway, is my character acceptable enough to be moved at the character section?

[clericbeast]

I'm not quite sure how I should start Xerxes' introductory post off. I'd like to have his done today, hopefully.

[Lord Wyron]

I'm about in the same boat as @clericbeast myself lol

@Scoundrel

Now I'm not a doctor, but I'm pretty sure "work" and "sanity" is an oxymoron. So I'm right there with you on that one.

And, yes, Melvin is accepted. Sorry about taking my time with that. Here's the thing with your good pal, Pal: I forget things really easily. So I apologize about still having yet to add him to the list right after I said I would. Go ahead and add him to the character section.

@Ghost Shadow

Why not start with a flashback to when the virus was spreading to North America, or when it initially hit? Give insight to who Xerxes/Erik was before?

[Gowi]

Reading IC now, I will have something up today.

[Lord Wyron]

Hm....yes, that works! I'll try and have something up today :)

[McHaggis]

[Palindromatic]

Our characters all start as residents, right? Just want to make sure ^^

@McHaggis

Nah, they don't have to. They could be making their way to The Towers or even have yet to hear the broadcast. Ideally all the characters would become residents, but they don't all have to start off as one.
