I'd agree, solely because it's easier to post as and when we can manage, as opposed to having a set time. Not that the collab wasn't enjoyable, I'm happy with how it's turned out.

When you go from walking around at 5am like a half shut knife to bouncing out your bed 10 minutes before the alarm goes off within a month of early starts at work. Self-improvement, ho!

How to know when your day as a home shopper will be busy - when your boss can't be arsed counting all the orders to pick so he logs the official total as 'mental' :-P

Best feelings as a GM #1 - Sitting at work cackling because a player has literally set up an amazing plot hook without realising it. *evil chuckle*

Bio
Well, where to begin?
I found my love of roleplays through a brief block of sessions of D&D when I screwed up enough and brought an class from an entirely different plane to join the main party. After following the plot to the end - which involved our dwarven pilot flying a gunship while simultaneously controlling 4 cannons by tying string around them - we ended up crashing through a portal onto a different plane. When attempting to formulate a plan, one of the PCs delivered a line that has stayed with me ever since.
"Ask the artificer, he's already done it once."
Since then, I've done a 3+ year RP between two players - using the FATE system - in which we created an entire city through creating mentally unstable characters and callus cold-blooded killers. One particularly nasty NPC came about by a sheer accident, when the melee-build character out-snarked the diplomat. Which was much more fun than it sounds. Had a bad experience with this site before, in which the GM didn't plan far enough ahead to include any NPCs whatsoever, and the other characters had no interest in Player-to-Player interactions outside of their own 2-man group. Needless to say, it died with incredible speed, which was a shame.
But I was tempted back by a friend to play a Pokemon RP despite having no knowledge whatsoever of the topic outside of Gen 1 stuff, and even that was years ago. Despite everything, I've not only been holding my own, but coming up with a completely separate sub-plot from the main plot, and making the GM's life a misery. (Sorry Zan!)
My writing style draws heavily from the likes of Worm and The Dresden Files, which means I can do a great deal of two things. Snark and Escalation. Outside of that, I like to think i'm a dynamic roleplayer, but I prefer sticking to High Fantasy sort of settings. Anything Slice of Life-y doesn't do it for me. Unless i'm slinging magic, psuedo-magic or demons (while snarking at whoever is unlucky enough to warrant it) I feel as though I could be doing something more entertaining with my time. When it comes to RP systems, I enjoy FATE or narrative based things.
My first RP which I am GMing on this site is themed around Dragon Age as carried on from the far superior (in my humble opinion) plot of the first game.
That's pretty much all there is to know about me that people would actually care about. I'll update it as I do with important changes or epic moments. Until then, feel free to PM me if you have questions or invites to stuff, and i'll respond as soon as I can. ^.^

Finished my writing now, so unless anything major changes in the collab i'm done. Posts are formatted for deployment here already, so you don't have to worry about italics or colouring, what ever way we work posting it.
I've been writing for around 4 hours now, as soon as i'm finished the final few touches, I'll be more than happy to post and continue. My perfectionist side keeps deleting my posts and rewriting them, for some reason. =P
I'll swing by from around 7 PM GMT to have a look and throw in Tantalus's stuff, sine I should be free then.
I'm more than willing to, if people are.
On the flip side, I've completed Fire Red which I emulated on my pc about 2 years ago. And I watched the first series of the anime as a kid. That's the sum total of my pokemon knowledge =P
@Vulkan I'm also up for a collab ,so you have your pick of many xD
My idea is that Tantalus would have been pestered to register shortly after entering the city by his Mawile, and i'm planning to explain that formally later, should the chance come up. =)
Tantalus stood, stunned, as the little Porygon-Z rapidly shook his hand. To say this was a surprise would be an understatement. He found himself fading from the haze when his arm began to develop an ache.
“Your enthusiasm is astounding, although I’d appreciate if you could tone it down slightly.” A small smile crept across his lips, as he spoke, and he patted the Porygon on the head, avoiding the spike. “It is, however, nice to meet you too. You have better manners than some Avatars, here.” As he finished his sentence, the Porygon released him, much to Tantalus’s relief.
What a friendly little thing. Apate’s voice commented, floating around in his head. Tantalus replied with a scoff.
The tension in the air had subsided, if only slightly, due to the valourous attempts of what he could only assume was the Mayor, the woman who was with him, and a child with an extreme fondness for bells. That was the Avatar of Suicune? Interesting…
As the last of the fire within the girl was extinguished, she knelt down to comfort her small pokemon, and introduced herself. “Rebeca. Just Rebeca. You mentioned something about dinner? Been a while since I ate, s'long as these two can come with."
Another voice drifted up from the crowd. "Yes dinner is being provided for us courtesy of the mayor and Justine. Well I at least am getting rather hungry thinking about our dinner so I'm going to go inside." It’s origin was a man dressed in rustic looking black outfit, ragged at the edges. It gave him an uneasy feeling, stirring memories he’d rather forget.
Wait, dinner? Looking up at the fancy establishment before him, Tantalus considered the thought. Not needing to eat often was a real benefit, however food in this region was proving to be utterly delicious, and he was getting hungry from walking through the city.The street food vendors dotted around the city had resulted in a pleasant smell spreading over several areas he had passed through today.
He turned his head towards his Mawile, a token gesture, given their ability to communicate telepathically. Apate. What do you say about joining these Avatars for a meal? A few have piqued my intrigue, and I’d like to gather some more information. A proposition that was not entirely untrue, if marred by an underlying need to sate his appetite for more than conversation.
You are hungry aren’t you? A note of sarcastic humour creeping into her voice, even telepathically, which always annoyed him. I thought you wanted to stir up trouble, when we arrived.
I still do, but that can wait. Everyone is going to be here for a while yet. Besides, you did win the coin toss. Smirking to himself, Tantalus began to walk towards the Ritzy Raichu, with Apate in tow.
The place was impressively large, and decorated with ornamental features ranging from eye-catching to tacky, but with any luck the food and company would make up for the shortfalls present. Looking around, it became clear which table the Avatars were gathering around. The man from before was already present, along with another sporting a suit and white hair. Next to him was a the girl that Tantalus had seen speaking, rather forcefully at that, to one of the other Avatars earlier. It was an impressive tirade she had conducted, winning the dominance battle between the two. That said, she was doing it to protect the people nearby, and if the man truly had kicked off, Tantalus could have used it to his advantage. Nevertheless, sitting nearby might prove interesting enough. Beside her sat a Gardevoir, presumably hers, so Tantalus took the chair beside the Pokemon. As he sat down, Apate jumped onto his lap, and draped her jaws over to the left, away from the Gardevoir sitting beside him.
As he got comfortable, the girl reached an outstretched hand over in his direction. “Seras Bancroft, travelling artisan and avatar of Diancie. I’ve heard mention of an avatar from Sinnoh with healing powers - it’s a pleasure to see that you made the journey.” Tantalus blinked. She’d heard of him. Ego overflowing, he swallowed a laugh, instead opting for a sincere smile as he shook her hand.
“Ahh, the Avatar of the Crown Jewel of Kalos, it is a honour to meet you. Coming here wasn’t actually my idea, this little one dragged me here by force.” As he finished, he inclined his head forward to Apate, who was still sitting calmly. “Now that I am here, however, I think i’ll stick around for the time being. The entertainment is delightful.” With that, Tantalus relaxed, waiting to see who would arrive next.

You aren't the only one, I'm adoring the contrast.
