ScoutSorry for disappearing folks! My sickness has finally started to die down after a few days in the hospital.
I urge everyone to go read the combat mechanics I just posted and voice any questions that you all may have. In the meantime, Roman and Albireo's CSs require my attention!
Edit:
Alright Roman! So here's my comments on your character. I absolutely love the concept of him being bedridden - as sick as that sounds. Initially I was going to tell you that your persona was a bit too outfitted given how difficult it is to live off of Dust and to outfit one's character within Dust. However, because your character probably doesn't do anything but play Dust (given his condition), I'll allow your concept.
The one red flag I saw in your concept, however, was the swordsman and pyromancer bit. I'm very much adverse to having any character be proficient in more than one main style of play, which I consider to be: warriors, rogues, and warlocks. While you may know rudimentary spells, you shouldn't be advanced in them whatsoever, for from what I read, your character seems to be a more warrior type to me.
I didn't define sub-specialities for each of the main classes to afford some creativity to each writer. If you have a different concept, which prefers the warrior over the warlock or warlock over the warrior, I'm all ears. As always, if this didn't make any sense, let me know and we'll talk!

Okay, here are my comments for everyone - except Albireo. I'll PM you instead.
@Arlear
I can't see anything I want changed. However, I'd like to point out that since we're now starting in 2065, your character is 40 years young. There is nothing wrong with this whatsoever. I'd just like to point that out in case that changes anything for you. Otherwise, I enjoyed the bio read, and the prospect of a radiated musician is just plain awesome!
@IrishAngelQueen
Can't see anything I want changed with character, so we're good there!
@cthulu
Loved your character! The details in the biography - dark as sin - was enjoyable to read! Your character is fine as is.
@Roman07
You may certainly join us! From what I can see from your character thus far, he'll make a fine addition indeed. I'm anxious to read the bio whenever you can get that up!
Everyone is considered accepted so far. I don't really have a cap for this, but when we begin, that'll be our cut off new people lest we're still relatively early on or a sensible point for them to jump in occurs.
I will be updating the initial thread with a map, how the combat within this will work (heavily inspired from another group rp I'm currently in), and setting descriptions of each stage we'll be in.
Hang in there folks; we're almost ready!

Here's my CS folks.
Terrible sorry for vanishing. I'm recovering from an allergic reaction. I've been sleeping and just returned from the hospital/clinic. Please bear with me.
@Albiero
I received your CS via PM and will get back to you very soon.
@Everyone else
Ditto what I mentioned above for Albiero. Once I get a few more hours of sleep, I'll be sure to jump right back into the thick of things.
Real World
Name: Lillian Coughlin
Birthday: December 14, 2036
Born with a small frame at 5’6”, Lillian is pale in complexion with short kept black hair with strands of white. She has a forlorn look about her gained from living through World War III and the dark years followed shortly after. Often times, as mandated by her office attire standards, she adheres to business professional and casual attire. When she’s off of work, she tries to practice good fashion sense as much as possible though her income can’t support the decadence that the noble class relishes in.
Occupation: Public Relations at Logic (Logic Pad Providers)
Biography:
Born and raised in the South with her parents and younger sister, Lillian’s life was average. She went to school, participated in sports, and helped her dad in his shop. When Lillian turned nine, her world was torn apart as the great war started. During the early days of World War III, many of her family’s friends were drafted into the North American Trade Federation’s military. Borders were redrawn everywhere. Every night, the TV bristled with horrible scenes of trademark cities being blown to bits and battlefields bathed in infernos.
At school, air raid drills and nuclear fallout responses drills were made into a daily thing. Though she was far away from the east coast — where many of the bombs fell — soldiers littered the streets as curfew and other laws were enacted. Propaganda filled with motivation to work for the country and ‘fight for the liberty of N.A.T.F’ were posted everywhere. Her hands were put to work as children helped produce ration packs for the military. Because of decreasing amounts of food, Lillian stole food from the ration pile. She was caught and was punished for it. While she learned to stay out of trouble, more infractions were committed, and the military was never shy in ‘educating’ her.
The dark years hadn’t been kind to any of the survivors of the war. Lillian — for the first time in her life — killed civilians in self-defense as murder and more primal deeds of humanity surfaced. Morality was almost non-existent, for the good samaritans were the first to be met by a robbers desperation. That was what had taken her father’s and mother’s life. From then on, no matter who it was except for her sister, everything and everyone was an enemy in her eyes. The lesson that the dark years had taught her came at a great cost, but it allowed her sister and her to survive.
Ten years slowly rumbled by. Lillian was close to giving up hope of the civilized world she had grown up in until she came face to face with the Council’s military. Relocated almost immediately to the green zones — locations that hadn’t been hit by the nuclear holocaust.
Upon arrival, the shock of moving from survival of the fittest back into civilization was a tremendous undertaking, which she slowly adapted to in time. Soon enough, life was back to normal as she found work within the company Logic. Though the pay was low, it kept her sister and herself off the streets. It wasn’t until Dust came along was she finally able to earn through a different albeit unorthodox way. As the VMMORPG took off, Dust became as part of her life as her work.
Though amused by the Council’s new system, Lillian distrusts them.
Dust Persona
Alias: Asurya
Style of Play: Opting to play as an Enlightened Warlock, Lillian focuses immensely on Necromancy where she commands the dead and departed while stealing essence from the living to fuel her own well-being or use to bolster her pool of mana.
Appearance: Created nearly identical to her, the warlock is 5’7” and a narrow, lithe build. As is with all Enlightened, Asurya had ice-blue luminescent eyes and black hair that reaches down to the nape of her neck. Asurya wears a long black jacket mixed with gold trim with a golden arcane sign on the back. She wears a dark shade of purple pants that tuck neatly into black boots. As with many warlocks, Asurya wields a whitish-grey staff and a small dagger for offerings and personal defense.

Oh so some drama already exists concerning her star actress, eh? Wellllllllllll, hopefully she'll let it slide just this once ^^!
I'm actually about to head off to bed. Got a quiz and work tomorrow. Ha...

Oh for sure. I don't see the radiation and its fallout disappearing anytime soon whatsoever. I was merely addressing the fleeting effects of the dark years. Namely, reintroducing civility.
While I also want to hear the others opinion on this, having two separate generations, as you said, would make for a very interesting social attribute. Perhaps it'll add a bit of flair into the story overall. Plus, I can still incorporate the above, for it'll be a HUGE story element within this. I'd like to keep how a secret for right now though. Anyway, for right now, why don't you create your character under the assumption that we'll begin at 2065 then. I can't see the others having a huge problem with this. Everyone - including myself - will probably have to amend our biographies a tad.
I'm in the works of creating a general map of the world, which will label the green zones with respect to the yellow and red zones. Hopefully that'll be up this weekend.
Arlear and IrishAngelQueen, other than amending your biography and birth dates due to the above, everything I've read so far looks pretty spot on.

Thanks, Anima. I'll be around a bit tomorrow afternoon and we can work on this. Careful, she'll ding you for that D:
Sure thing! I may not be around tomorrow night, but I will be on Friday, if plans don't come up!
Maybe ... I should edit that a tad, no? But honestly. I was being dead drop serious!
Here's the link Ex, http://txt.last-outpost.net/p/TreeOfLife
Oh hello there Prisk! I've been waiting on our titanpad for you, but not a peep has come from your corner! I've been terribly lonely! I tease, of course!
Oh no! I was hoping you and your spirits would overlook my little thread! Looks like I've been caught red-handed! Though I did start a group rp, I shall not shrink away from this lovely story we have going here! I mean, it'd be kind of mean since I 'begged' you to join this. So, no. Fear not; I shall still love this thread! I didn't want to 'recruit', but if you are interested, please have a look! But by no means should you feel pressured whatsoever!
By the way Prisk, I really like your avatar! Who is she? My first thought was Megan Fox, but the woman looks much prettier!

No, that's just Gravity. And sounds good.
Oh ... Erhm, this is a tad awkward...
Edited: I posted the post on the Tree of Life pad!
I'm really tentative to push the current year past 2060, for I'd like the immediate repercussions of the war to still be felt by society - which I'll write in great detail within the IC to give folks an idea. Could you make your character work with a 2056 - 2060 range? If not, let me know. I'm very flexible with our starting year.
Hmmm ... well then, why don't we just set it late into the 2056 era? Would that work out for folks more so? I just wanted to give a bit of space for technology to reinvent itself at the green zones.
