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. ^.^

@solokolos@LaikaYay! More peeps!
We'll probably be starting to kick things off tomorrow night, but I'll make sure nothing major happens until you have the chance to jump in ^.^

@BananaThat art is fucking adorable =P
That ability is one of the more interesting ones I've seen. Definitely works. One of the canon capes can bend emotions, so being able to bend them with fists seems just as plausible. Consider her accepted. One small thing. I cannot for the life of me remember if the age limit for Wards is 16 or 18. Someone else in the chat will know. If it's 16, have her that she used to be a ward but has since transferred over to full Protectorate status. ^.^
@Ardent DawnI have no idea how to do that atm, but I shall go find out. And this is totally separate, starting from the New Year's Bomb. I don't think we could really ever continue Boston given the damage we'd have done to it =P
EDIT: That was easy =P

Well, I'll get the rest of my character sheets forum-ready for tomorrow then. Might also post on the status bar one final time to see if I can wrangle one last person, just in case =P
@Old AmsterdamThat is surprisingly little action for a years worth of rolepla-
Oh, wait. That's how play-by-post tends to work. I was in a pokemon one at some stage that spanned like a year and a half of real time. And like two days in character =P
Well. Dammit. Looks like i'll be joining =P
Will post a CS sometime over the next week, once I have my own Worm RP set up and rolling and I figure out which of my countless Worm characters to break out for this particular excursion. ^.^

@hagrodenNeither did I. Ardent is to blame for that =P
@Sickle-cell
Finalized version.
I'd also like to make note that her true offensive capabilities from viral and bacterial forms will most likely not come into play here. Mostly because she could just create a dozen super forms of already deadly viruses and bacteria and release them all at once as airborne, waterborne, fluid-borne pathogens and eradicate everyone. And that's not fun. ;D
So can actual canon characters. Be thankful you and them share at least one trait - that you kinda play fair =P
What is everyone's opinions on my posting the first official IC post tomorrow and kicking off the show?
@ProProAlright. Colour me interested.
...Very interested.
Although reading several hundred IC posts to get an idea of what has gone on is a little outta my free time right now. Is there a cliff notes version? =P
The real question, though, is whether I can justify porting Sickle-Cell into *yet another setting* even if it is another Worm-based one. I do so adore him, but it might be time to give someone else a go. Might. No promises =P

Just so everyone knows, as the 0th post on the OOC, I am going to post up a map of Boston showing who controls what area of the city. Now, I have never been to Boston personally, and I don't expect you to stick to actual places there, either. If you want to use an actual map of Boston to give yourself a starting grid (I normally take names and what a place is and create my own ideas from there), go right ahead.
Another thing I'll post will be a Faction Graph, showing any relationships between the current factions.
And the final thing - purely as a bit of fun - I will post a Boston Most Wanted List. If you want to compete for the top spot, you can =P
