Bio
Very well, where do I begin?
My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet.
My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament.
My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard, really. At the age of twelve, I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles.
There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking. I highly suggest you try it.

I think the best thing would be to start a new thread. But if you wanted to just continue this specific roleplay in a different thread, by all means.
Even though this is probably one of the incalculable games I've ran that have reached this conclusion, I feel like with this one I should say something in regards to how my participation ended. Or at least elaborate a bit more, since I've already said a little.
My personal experience with the game started off very positively and I felt creative juices flowing for my characters that I hadn't felt in years. In the past few games, I was usually a post or two in before I'd get creatively spent and be forced to either drop or ghost with the faint hope that the drive would return. It used to vex me, but recent experience has illuminated a huge part of why it happened: medication. This past summer, a change in doctor left me without access to a certain medication that I'd been taking for a couple of years for anxiety, to the point that it took about two months to get put on something else. Within that two month period of being cold turkey, the idea for this game came about and I readily dove into it.
What I didn't realize was that anxiety meds = hampered creativity for writing, at least in my case, and the minute that I was back on them was when I couldn't continue. It's like a part of my brain is locked off, and despite my want to do creative writing - any creative writing, even out of the game - I just can't access that while on this. I attempted to get back on the horse with Superman and with Hulk, and even heavily contemplated a new app just to shake the cobwebs off. Nothing came of any of it. A huge disappointment for me, but it's also not really something I can do anything about.
I'm not trying to make an excuse, as this is still something I'm trying to understand about myself. The simple fact is that it sucks and I wish it were different. The game suffered because (at least mostly) the GM is responsible for a general liveliness that I couldn't sustain. Which is where @Sep's contributions were absolutely essential and kept the thing running way longer than it probably could've lasted with me alone. His enthusiasm for the game from day one was palpable, and there were many, many chats between us where he would share ideas and listen to mine. It was really cool to be on that side of it, and I just want to thank him for being with it as long as he was. Without Sep, there'd have been no game.
I never stopped watching the game's progress and reading posts. All of you have been delivering absolute top-tier content in the IC and I salute it as some of the best writing I've had the pleasure of being amongst in awhile. It ended too soon, but not for lack of quality.

@Roman Fury's gender hasn't been established IC, unless I missed something in one of @mattmanganon's post. So far the Director has just appeared as a sihouette with a distorted voice.
But yes, Nick Fury is the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., with Amanda Waller as his second-in-command (per @AndyC).

@Lord Wraith I can't be assed to get the approval image right now but you're accepted.
As far as a soft reboot goes, I think what's being done to address it is enough. Making a new thread or something feels a tad extreme. "Soft" would definitely be underlined.
I've personally had medical stuff preclude me from being more active the last few weeks. Nothing serious, but I was sick for a week and after getting better, a sudden change in medications made it hard to focus on much. Even posting what I did in here last night took some concentration. But I'm slowly getting used to it and haven't stopped reading the IC and OOC.
Green Arrow, Jack Hawksmoor, The Punisher, The Question, and Silk are off the roster. They're the only ones I never heard back from. They can be re-applied for but as of right now, they're considered up for grabs.
I went ahead and removed myself as Hulk, too, if anyone wants him. Superman I'm still going to attempt a return with, but I won't contest any applications for him either.

@Lord Wraith I'm going to go with having a post. Unless I'm overruled by God.
God doesn't have sway here, but I'm fine with it.
Alright, it's been two weeks since the start of the month. I think it's time to start checking in on people and seeing where we're at in terms of the roster. No one's getting cut yet, but there's a few on the verge and a couple past it in terms having given two weeks with notice versus not. If you've given notice and I haven't accounted for it, apologies. It's hard to keep up and I'm just now getting over a week long illness, so the brain's a bit fried.
