Hi. I'm Matt. You could say I'm a Case of Identity...
1. The Important Stuff: Faith and salvation
I am a Christian. I believe the KJV Bible and that God is real, Jesus died for me, Jesus rose again and offered salvation to the world. Heaven is real, Hell is hot and the only escape is Christ. I accepted salvation the only way you can: by admitting I was a sinner (and I still am), believing that Jesus died for me and rose again, and calling on Him to save me. Anyone can do it anytime and be granted eternal life.
"Matt, why are you saying all of this?" you ask.
Because last time I was here, I did a crap job of establishing that and just tried to 'fit in.' I'm going to add a little more of this to my characters and to my signature, because it's the right thing to do and because there's freedom on these kinds of sites. Not to an extent that interrupts/derails the story, though. Your game, your rules.
2.The Actual Bio:
Hi guys. I'm Matthias Emmanuel Angel, I'm 24, and this is where I spend time when I'm not doing other things (church, homework, studying, video games).
/// What I like: -Landscape Management (my major) -Guitar (over a decade of experience and not much to show for it) -PC Games (gave up on Xbox, no regrets) -RPGs (I play them too often though) -Water instead of soda (oooo look at how healthy I am) -Google SketchUp (awesome 3D models, free download) -The number 23 (it's the best number) /// What I don't like: -Profanity (especially when it's just filler in comedy) -Lewd content and porn (and anyone bragging about it) -Gory movies (how are they going to get butchered this time?) -Jerks (you aren't a jerk, are you?) -Insects (kill them all) -Dying in video games (and forgetting to save) ///
I realize, of course, that this site doesn't have limits on profanity of lewd content. No worries. I'll work around it, and won't join up with RPs rated 18+. If you feel like it will be a problem, let me know BEFORE the RP starts.

You can find me in a couple other places.
Armor Games: MattEmAngel Steam: club_blizzy ...and Comments here, of course.
@Tergonaut Ah, of course. I didn't take into account the spectrum of characters. A royal family would probably be either the least technological (in favor of being quaint and classic) or the most technological, and it looks like we're going for the second option.
In which case, okay, let's make future swords. I'll try to make something unique. Maybe the sword also increases her physical abilities, such as switching between being extremely lightweight to increase movement speed and extra heavy to deal harder blows. Somehow. I'll have plenty of time to work on it tomorrow. The assistant will probably carry a gun in a shoulder holster for safe measure.
TBH, I'm not sure how I'm managing the selection process so far; but a completed CS, or at least a complete character idea, goes a long way towards securing a spot. I'll probably make my selections based on who's still around by the time I get the IC/OOC post up and how much enthusiasm there still is at that point after people read the IC.
This RP will begin effectively at the lodge; I'm debating either letting the characters come to the lodge individually however they can or just en masse driving you all there in a tour bus or maybe a van. What say you all to those methods?
I'm going with some kind of AU modern-day royal society for Amie, so she will be showing up in a luxury car driven by her assistant, who will play a very minor role if all of that is okay with you. I have a name, appearance, and job description for him because that's about all he's going to be there for, and he wouldn't have any individual posts. I can provide a mini CS sheet for him for reference, again, if that's okay with you.
And since I'm settling for an AU modern-day, perhaps some technological sword advances could be developed, because honestly I'm drawing a blank on powers for her.
I'm working on a family crest for Amie. It'll be embossed in gold leaf on the back of her coat. Here are a few ideas. Right now I'm going with #1 but suggestions would be appreciated.
@Tergonaut Upgrading the sword via technology sounds interesting. I'm thinking feudal, but with modern vocabulary. Capitalistic and magic sound too close to Weiss Schnee and I'm trying to avoid making a RWBY fanfic character.
@BubblegumQueen Oh I see. But then I would expect the other six to band together against the antagonist, so what good are powers if people already avoid/distrust/attack you? The antagonist wouldn't get to develop their character or build trust/alliances if they're rooted out immediately.
@Infamous Empath You could spend the whole time saying "When I was your age..."
Also, you've already established Multimind as the antagonist. Doesn't that take away from the point of having a secret antagonist? Nothing against Multimind at all, but knowing who the antagonist is ahead of time biases the players and makes it more difficult to feign surprise or make bad decisions (trusting the antagonist). Sure it would be awesome to ally with the bad guy without knowing it and get backstabbed later, but if I already know he's bad, it loses the element of surprise.
- What parameters does inventory have? Is there a weight limit with things being their actual size (as in, if you're carrying a cinder block, you wouldn't realistically be able to carry anything else) or is it a "magic sack" setup (as in, it only matters how many slots you have open, not what is in them)?
- Is this high casual or low casual? I personally don't want to write seven paragraphs per post (I have seen people post 10+ paragraphs in casual), because I end up writing a bunch of filler about my character rather than progressing the story.
- Will you provide a day/night cycle? Or is it irrelevant since we're underground?
