Bio

Y'all can call me Bard.

I've been RPing for about 15 years now.

I'm also an aspiring novelist and an avid writer of short stories.

I believe hardship and bad karma (regardless of how much good one does) are necessary for character development, aptly explained by a well selling writer:
"Be a sadist. No matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them—in order that the reader may see what they are made of." —Kurt Vonnegut

Is the OOC/IC going to start soon?
I'm definitely interested.
I've got a survival nut that I haven't gotten to actually play ever but this sounds the perfect thread. Raised in the backwoods of Southeastern United States (never really set a State to be honest), he was a survivalist through and through that definitely killed a couple *dozen* people for trespassing on his land in a variety of different ways (spike pits, hunting traps, shooting/stabbing them, etc) before a manhunt for the disappearance of a state official (officer) garnered enough manpower to corner him and arrest the guy *though it cost another two their lives and three more were injured.*
Huh, sounds a little like Lost in Space or Pitch Black (sorry, first two movies to come to mind for me.)

I'm in. Though I have some questions: is it an AU or real world universe? By which, I mean, are we considering technology (and thus space travel) to be as it is currently or more advanced? (To help me figure out a character concept of course.) I'm assuming current universe and technology/space travel because you said astronaut, but I wanna just double check.

Change of plans. Family emergency came up. Probably won't be posting at all today. Sorry for the hold up. Carry on without my Jennifer post.

I got super busy after getting the info from Pathfinder. I will be able to get to posting in about six to six and a half hours. I'm at work on my mobile now; makes posting difficult.

But if you wanted to move to the next round before I get Jenn finished, that's fine.

She's shy, but adventurous. She's a jerk, but has a heart of gold. She doesn't fit in, but loves making new friends. She's a bitch, but wants love. See the pattern? Because I don't.YOUR CHARACTER IS NOT AND SHOULD NOT BE EVERYTHING."But I want people to like my character, so I want her to have a little of everything"


I gotta say, I RP on a dif site, and ran an RP where I critiqued character's personalities for being too inclusive (or too flat). So when I was reading Commandment II, all I could think of was the forwarded rant a friend sent me from someone that was on the receiving end of the "too inclusive" diagnosis about how I had no clue about how real people act because they're multidimensional. Seriously, though, every single one of the above statements were listed on the frickin' sheet I rejected! *sigh* I'm in love with this and I'm not ashamed to say it. <3
Who else is left to post sheets? You could put a time limit - that you're going to start tomorrow and if you don't have the sheets in then you can open up for that many new people if you want to keep the same number you had.

Okay. Thanks for answering all my questions. You've been a big help. =)

Okay, so he is walking up and smelling people. That's what I was wondering. Because your phrasing was strange so I wasn't sure if he was going up to people or just middle of the room wandering. Since I was trying to figure out what to post for Jenn and that seemed a good reaction point.

And you say he's blindfolded, right? (To be honest I must have overlooked that in your posts.)

I'm sorry if I'm being bothersome; I just like to make sure I don't misinterpret what someone posted. Stickler for continuity that I am.

Ah, see, I was confused because enhanced smell isn't noted in your profile, but there's also the fact that none of the powers work in the asylum. Wouldn't that include any enhaancements to his human form? (Since it's because it's a byproduct of his power.)
