What exact conflicts are there?
**Name:** Galen Dunst
**Age:** 17
**Gender:** Male
**Appearance:**
The most prominent of Galen Dunst's features are his eyes, painted an oceanic shade of blue and a dark, stormy gray yet soft and lively. Brown hair with long bangs and short sides is pushed out of his face with careful, frequently-combed attention and covers only the forehead, framing his face; the stubble of a short-boxed beard lines his square jaw. Galen stands even with many of his peers and below the tallest at around 3 to 4 inches under 6 feet, and he, unlike the other boys, is caught between the men and the women with features that would make the best of both worlds, the broadest of shoulders and wider hips. Despite, however, the toned exterior of his well-defined torso, very little of his muscle is as functional as the next man; he is merely capable of moderately strenuous tasks and is, essentially, a pretty boy who is more handsome than powerful.
Although some would ascribe Galen's physical features to textbook masculinity, Galen's mode of dress is, by society's standards, freshly but admirably antinomian. Some days there are well-fit T-shirts and jeans, hoodies and cargo shorts, but on other days there are suits and ties, wool coats and sweaters, vests and suspenders, a style marked by admiration for all that is fancy and equal admiration for all that is, attractively, casual. Hardly a day passes without Galen's favorite accessory, a circular silver pendant with a square-cut ruby in the center strung around his neck with a matching silver chain. Wire frame glasses aid his vision.
**Personality:**
While he may be seen with a smile on his face often, Galen is, when alone, one of the most emotionally numb people on the planet, an empty marble shell stained with severe depression and unstable emotions affected by whatever caprice may find him. Sometimes he is shy and submissive, and in other times he is active and brave. Sometimes he is alive and outgoing, and in other times he is dead and isolated. Because his mental state is not grounded in himself but rather in his environment, his sensitive nature leaves him prone to minute changes and small actions that could easily tip whatever balance he finds. Either way, his core emotions are well masked by a tightly controlled outer image.
He is highly insecure. Insecure about himself, about his relationships, about his life, about his status. From his insecurities stem his shyness and his caution and his vigilant skepticism. Dunst does not trust the love he is given. He feels that the love his friends and family give him is either fake or will falter. Only constant reminders can ensure that he might know the reality of the love, but in the meantime, Galen's mind is clouded with delusions and imagined demons.
Whatever the case, passion follows him wherever he goes. In his lows, he is bored and unacting, and in his highs, he is excited and spry. Galen maintains an independent, intelligent mind with a wisdom of his own, rooted in his virtues, and a stubborn soul, unyielding whether wrong or right in his convictions. At his peak he may speak out of line and become unapologetic or relentless.
Galen is a force of his own volition. Each day is a new start, and his emotional slate is wiped on a daily basis in accordance. The crippling depression and anxiety hasn't stopped him yet even though it has tried before. Dunst seeks to continue moving forward and to redeem himself.
**Brief Biography:**
In his formative years, his mother and father slammed doors and screamed and cried. After the split, the spell broke, and they turned peaceful for Galen's sake. The tensions and scars remained both on them and their impressionable child, but they worked to raise Galen the best they could. With shared custody and without court orders, Dunst grew up in a typical suburban neighborhood, in a less-than-perfect household, a household nonetheless. Galen powered through it all. Through the bullying, through the pain, through the oppression, Galen lived as a sensitive young man, the product of years of love and hatred, of dark and light. Many failures in school on part of his slothfulness didn't break his ambition and spirit.
Into high school, his adaptation to circumstances was rewarded with friendship and love; all of his troubles seemed to fade into the background. He was not always happy, but high school was a high point in his life. Galen's only demons were within himself, and his only redemption was through himself or even through the powers of heaven. Depression and anxiety had wrapped around him; anger and wrath encroached. Dunst knew his journey wasn't over. He took to pursue his childhood again with writing and art.
**Relationship with Mother:**
His mother cares for him deeply. Galen lies at the front of her mind at all hours of the day. They have lived through the tumult of his upbringing, and now she loves her emotional trainwreck of a closeted gay son. They still fight and bicker like any family would, but each day they wake, they remember that they still care, that they promised their unconditional love. She supports him and applauds his talents, and she tries her best to keep him smiling and to suppress his anger and sadness as she never wants to see his wrathful tantrums or his depressed ramblings and cries for help. Galen's mother is his guiding light, and he depends on her, not to keep him on the right track but to keep him from a dead end.

Alright, I'll post him in the Characters tab!

I'm also interested.
Mahz, that WYSIWYG editor looks positively orgasmic and works great with my Android browser. It could be a viable option for possible PC and Android versions of the site.
I'm looking to help contribute to the Guild's software—I have to build my college résumé somehow—, but unfortunately I still need to figure out the code. When I get a decent understanding of it, I'll be ready to commit. Perhaps a simple explanation could help with my understanding of the Guild's software and what each part is responsible for.
We should also allow message and thread deletion in our PMs since that sort of thing is standard among forum PM systems.
Like I said, magic is not common at all. The people that do practice it are few and far between, so in all likelihood none of our characters could be mages. But other races are a thing.
The world is not the one we know, and it's separated from the one we know by its fantasy creatures. Anyway, it's not really prioritizing on either. It's a kind of happy medium between the two wherein not everything is medieval-esque or fantasy.

I'm bumping again because I'm GM garbage. I'm not going through with this if I don't get enough people to have a roleplay.
Lugubrious said Could be fun. I'd want at least two more people to look into this, however.
Is that... Agni?
