@rechonq

Nice! I approve of your character wholeheartedly. Please copy and paste your character sheet into the Characters Tab. Then you may do your opening IC post as soon as you like.

[Airalin]

Interested! Brainstorming a character~

@Airalin

Awesome, that makes 5 of us. We are all set to get the ball rolling so long as no one drops out before we get into it. Have I mentioned how excited I am yet?

[Airalin]

I might have accidentally posted this in the in-character section. =p I don't know how to delete it, so I can just edit that post into a proper one later... sorry! Anyway, let me know what you think!

Name: Abigail Mistly
Age: 19
Exp Points: 0
From Year: 2013
Home Land: New York City

Appearance:

Personality: To those who know her, Abby's name is synonymous with sarcasm. Whether she's having a casual picnic or attending a funeral, a snarky comment is almost always at the tip of her tongue. Unfortunately, the dark humor that might be endearing in some is just the opposite for Abby - her cynicism runs deep, and those who get too close are painted a picture of bleakest despair. The depression Abby has struggled with for so long has seeped into her very soul, tainting it.

The rare few who dare get even closer despite the darkness, however, learn that there's more to Abby than her cold exterior suggests. Harsh judgments are intermingled with daydreams, fancies too embarrassing to speak that one would scarcely expect from such a bitter girl. Despite everything, a spark of hope still gleams within the darkness, a stubborn flame that will not be extinguished. Darkness clashing with fading light - that old, familiar story plays out anew in Abby's mind. Whether the ending will be happy or not is anyone's guess - Abby certainly isn't expecting much.

Biography: A strict but loving mother and a father who saw his daughter as the most precious of jewels - those were the parents Abby barely ever became acquainted with. When Abby was only four years old, the pair of them died in a plane crash, leaving her to fend for herself in a cold world warmed only by a dying fire. The grandmother she was left with was sickly, not prepared to take care of a child. Within a few years she, too, had succumbed to the abyss. After a brief stint in a glorified orphanage, Abby was passed on to a foster family. By then, it was too late. The impenetrable wall designed to protect her from loss had already taken hold.

Before she knew it, high school had come and gone, and Abby had learned only that friends were fickle and lovers more so. Her grades - indicative of superficial understanding of meaningless topics - were good, however, so her foster parents urged her to go to college, and lacking any real ambition, Abby succumbed to their nagging. Before long, she had moved to a fairly prestigious university, living apart from her makeshift family for the first time since falling into their custody.

That was when things started going sour. Without anyone to make her stick to her work, Abby found herself unable to focus on her studies. Instead, she explored her newfound freedom, and before long, she was pushing at its boundaries. At first, she only pulled small pranks - sneak her roommate's possessions into other rooms and the like - but, soon, she became bored with such mild mischief. She turned to thievery. A few wallets here, a tacky necklace there - and then she went too far. She started taking cell phones just to read through the text messages on them - and a few of them had their locations tracked. In what seemed like a flash, not only was she in trouble with the school, but facing criminal charges and the scorn of her foster parents, the only people she thought she could trust to be on her side.

Then... she was reprieved. Everything vanished before she was due to appear in court, replaced by an odd city that looked like it had been plucked out of a sci-fi movie. A new world... and new limits to test.

@Airalin

It's okay, I've made the mistake of posting early to IC before. Your character sheet looks great, though. Feel free to copy that into the Characters tab.

Then you can edit that IC post into something more deserving of your obvious writing prowess.

[Airalin]

@Balthazar007

*blushes* Aw, you are too kind! This afternoon will be busy for me, but I'm hoping to be able to post something IC tonight!

@Airalin

That will work fine. There is no big rush. This is in the casual RPs for a reason. :)

[rechonq]

Sorry if my post is a little long. I got into a writing mood and just went with it. Hope it's still good. It was from my phone at work.

[Balthazar007]

@rechonq

The length is fine. I didn't get lost in it. And as for content, everything was solid, quite impressive really. All in all, I'd say we have another awesome introductory post.

Now an announcement for everyone. Once we get past our first posts, remember to wait for at least 2 others to post as well. But for now, I'd like everyone to get their first post in before any of us do our second.

Also, I would like to announce that I will be allowing one more player into the game, @CallMeChaotix. He was an active member of the RP this one is based off. I reached out to him just as I started this reboot, and he got back to me just after our last spot was filled. I only feel it fair to allow him to join us as well. Everyone give him a solid welcome to the team please.

With a full squad, I am happy to say that we are about ready for greatness. Everybody get those character sheets and introductory posts up as soon as you can. I'm excited to get this ball rolling!

[Airalin]

Well, I wrote my first post. Hopefully it's decent - I was a bit unsure of what to do with myself!

[Balthazar007]

@Airalin
Fret not, your writing is on par with with the rest of our kick ass group. Congrats. Now we just have 2 more people to catch up, then we can really start.

[CallMeChaotix]

@Balthazar007 I will, at one point make a CS sheet. A new character.

One question, you said they can only live in the present year or past ones. Does that mean they can't come from different dimensions?

@CallMeChaotix

I hope it's not dissapointing, but no, characters should come from our known universe and demension. All sci-fi comes as you play along, not before.

[Balthazar007]

@Classpet@rechonq@Alina13@Airalin@CallMeChaotix

Okay guys and gals, I don't know about you, but I'm starting to get itchy writing fingers. I have a problem when I have to go more than 3 days without posting. I am going to go ahead and release the hounds. Everyone that has a cleared character sheet may go ahead and continue posting in the IC.

But before you get started, please go back to the opening OOC post and check out the rules at the bottom. I lengthened the time requirement for how long you should wait between each of your posts. I did this not just to benefit our two that are a bit behind, but to benefit all of us in the future. If for some reason any of us have to take a couple days off, and this time constraint wasn't in place, then you could potentially come back to a mountain of writing to stumble through and catch your character up with. With a larger time constraint, you might have a handful to catch up on, but not remotely the same amount.

I'm going to start working on my next IC post now, but nobody has to wait on me (unless 2 people haven't posted since your last post yet).

[CallMeChaotix]

@Balthazar007 Okay. I have a writer's block problem.

I can't think of any creativeness for a CS sheet.

[Balthazar007]

Oh man. That always sucks. We've all been there before. Also remember that the character's background is far less important than the personality in this case, as skills wont necessarily transfer over well.
