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

The Big Three can only have one child. So only one child of Zeus, one child of Poseidon, and one child of Hades. They might die at the end of the adventure to keep continuity, you have been warned.


I have an inquiry: if you're looking to keep this able to flow with canon continuity by having one or all of the Big Three Kid(s) die - why not just not allow any kids of them to keep more to the history and Big Three Rule? Or, really, all Big Three Kids (if more than just one has a kid) have to be dead. I'm just curious about this now that you've said that.
I guess I'll keep up the trend for reserving.

I don't like playing Canon, but I'm happy enough to see another do so. I couldn't do them justice but I've seen some good approximations in my 4 years here. (and in the old guild) So it can be done and I've faith in Metronome :P


Yeah, I don't know about this group - I have seen canons done justice (when people actually know stuff about the canon - and I don't mind little deviations since every time a comic gets a new writer, there is a twist to it anyways) but I have seen complete catastrophes. Makes me wary.

But if the character doesn't need to be related to canon - I can definitely work with that.
Well, I mean, I'm a huge fan of the X-Men series, but I just have this inability to make characters for that fandom that are related to canon characters. I'll have to use my 'phone a friend' option and see if a buddy has tips for linking characters to canon.

*Edit* I'll be honest with a dislike to play canon (and for the most part see canon's played - though it does look like you did a lot of Bucky research and are knowledgeable enough to do him justice.)
I'm still trying to figure out who to put in. I mean, I don't actually have any children of Marvel characters, but I'm trying to figure out who I can manipulate into being a kid of someone in the Marvel universe. I mean, I've played in Marvel series threads, but...yeah. So, I'm still interested but I still need to figure out who I'm putting in and how to work them in.

B T W, how many characters are we allowed to play?
Okay, so is it only for seven RPers total or seven characters total? (Because your comment about the one per god thing is confusing.)

(I'm in, just wondering.)
How do we determine when our classes are? Or just put them in whatever slot we want?
If it wasn't for people talking - and yelling, - Keaira would have probably stayed asleep. Being under the heat of the UV bulb was so nice; an arm and a leg hung over the edge of her loft bed with the other arm curled under her cheek, acting like a pillow. Her actual pillow, along with most of her covers, all lay on the floor, knocked there at some point during her rest. A long lazy yawn stretched Keaira's mouth wide, tongue unfurling and curling while she stretched her body long before arching her back. "So much for sleep," she grumbled.

After another back arching stretch and flexing her fingers, she slid down off the bed. Another gaping, tongue curling, yawn escaped her as she stretched an arm over head and the other to the side to work her shoulders. Her fist kneaded at an eye when she brought it down. It took another moment or so for her to even want to open her eyes. A few blinks, and her eyes adjusted to the room - not just because the first attempt was a little blinding even with the dimmer lighting from the UV bulb, but because sleep still tried to keep them closed.

Although she might not have known what she was expecting, the sparsely furnished room was the last thing she thought she'd see when she woke up. The jumpsuit she realized she was wearing felt a bit constricting, like her body couldn't breathe; she didn't even know why, but it just felt like too much. That dresser had to have something better to wear, so she crossed the room and started looking through the drawers. More jumpsuits, and undergarments - sports bras instead of regular bras - filled most of the drawers with one drawer dedicated to random things like a few random romance novels, an Ipod...She plucked that up before even looking at the other stuff. The suffocating discomfort of such a concealing outfit vanished from her mind when the interest to find out what the Ipod held came into her head.

Flicking through the device, she played around for a few seconds. Techno songs, club/house music, high energy rock and/or pop music - she saw tons of songs she recognized before that lost her interest too. Quickly replaced by a curiosity as to what was in the leather bound book. Picking that up, she breezed through the pages to find them blank. Now that her mind was awake, her thoughts quickly transferred between subjects and she found herself mourning how suffocatingly constricting the jumpsuit was.

"Hey, howmanypeopleareawake? Ijustwokeup anddidanyoneelsenoticehowstuffyitisinhere?" Keaira walked toward the door to her cell while she spoke, not even realizing that her questions slurred together to almost be one word. Once she stopped near the cell door, she undid the top half of the jumpsuit, tying it up around her waist so at least her top half could breathe better in just a sports bra.
How many characters are we allowed to have per person?

And only choice is Freshman, yes?
Sweet. Awesome map btw.
