DnafeinThough I speak not often, here I still be.
I will be looking into one of the more mundane character types, most likely a merchant. After I get a few things clarified his/her character sheet should be up.

No worries. Holidays are somewhat chaotic.

woo hoo! Guild is back. Anyone still here?
Thank you that is much clearer (that also happens to be how I run my own threads most of the time). I have no problem meeting that posting expectation. Also pleased that cooperative posting is allowed.
I also have to say I've seen issues with strangers mixed with old friends as was mentioned; the strangers (my character) really got left out of the loop, inside jokes, history, story, etc; it really made it hard for me to work my way in. Not impossible. Just hard. Though that was a situation when the players had an outside history in addition to the characters having an in-game history. My two cents. I'm the kind of person who can work with whatever is thrown at me but I know it is not always easy and can derail the story at times.

I must have mis-written that...I did not mean to imply ONLY post once a week; I believe it was said earlier that posting should be AT LEAST once a week.
I meant to say as long as we were not required to post more than once a week I would be interested.

I expect that those accepted will be able to post in the IC once a week.

I would be interested as well provided a mandatory IC posting rate of not more than 1x/week. One time per week is easy, I can usually do more, but there are strands of time when I get super busy and one time per week may be all I can manage.
AS for the current discussion...
I, like Dead Cruiser above me, prefer to make obscure character concepts and make them interesting or take something completely normal, even mundane and focus on personality and creativity to make the character shine. The idea of working as a group/team to create a party of characters that don't overlap is very appealing, more so than having a set amount of archtypes we can chose from. I'm not sure how well it would be accomplished, it would require cooperation, but it is certainly an intriguing idea and certainly doable.
As far as prophecy goes...it is often self-fufilling and the more vague you make it, the less well defined, the more likely we the characters are to simply assume we fit into it somehow and in general bring about its meaning because it has been prophesied that we would even if it wasn't exactly in the manner intended (if that made any sense whatsoever congratulations on understanding my mental processes).
I'm game for either friends or strangers, both have lots of potential. The first you have deep relationships already formed, they know each other and how to work together, and some of the mechanics of things are easier. The second gives you a chance to write much of your character personality on the fly and develop it and interactions as you go creating a character that, I at least, feel much closer to.

welcome back Jollan. Since you have been away you may not have seen but this site seems to be down quite a bit recently. Right past the 1 year anniversery of it crashing last time...and then we lost the whole guild and this new forum was created (many players vanished permanently as it took so long to get a new guild back), I was referring to a way to contact players if we loose the site entirely so we can continue the story at another site or alternatively just continue it at another site right now. No pressure of course...I just wanted to see what you all thought or if you had other ideas.

Shadowefil I know you are up (anytime, whenever) But a couple of things since the site seems to be flickering down quite a bit recently...
1) orcpunx is the only one I can get ahold of outside of this site...would either of the other of you want to share some way to contact you outside here (facebook, IM name, another forum site, etc)? PM me if your interested...that way if the site goes down again (like before) we can continue somewhere else. Which leads to the next question.
2.) Since the site is going down...a lot recently...would anyone be interested in moving thread/story to a more stable RP forum?

Greetings of the season to you as well. I edited the character and posted it in the OOC for your approval.
