I just edited my CS into my first post above.
Firstly, I apologize if this sounds whiny, but we're starting at level one. That means we have wimpy skills that we'll either never use again or improve upon with later skills. I would scream "Munchkin!" at Mercury if it were anyone but Jay (but I know Jay's an awesome RPer, so he's not doing it to be the best).
Now then, Necrosis, do you mind me inserting my character into your character's life?

It's Christmas time! Put up the lights, and hold up your light! #LightTheWorld

And it's impossible to edit a status. Wonderful. I meant to say my hard drive is down; I'm working out of a flash drive now.

Whoops. That's one flash drive destroyed. Kids, take good care of your toys! For those concerned, thank you! I don't have any storage, but I do have access to a browser; roleplaying continues!

Driving on my lunch break when a random kid on the sidewalk yells, "It's the internet man! Hi internet man!" Spend the rest of Monday feeling like a champ.

Ah! That's what this is! It's my old role-player guild account!
Hello, folks, from a friend new and old. Old in that I spent many happy hours fictating way back in Old-Guild before Lost Christmas, and then I spent some time in New-Guild during its beginning development; new in that I've been gone for two years, so a lot of the "faces" I was familiar with back then don't seem to be haunting the place these days. Whether you've known me before or not, I extend to you a hearty greeting and a virtual feast. If you'd like a name shorter than the full one, please call me Taro. I'm rather comfortable with that one.
Well, you didn't come here just to hear about my history. You're probably looking to see what kind of a role-player I am. Truthfully, I'm not totally certain right now; two years without practice does bring on a multitude of changes. Then again, even in those two years I've kept the creative spark fed and fanned, in isolation though it may have been, and I can tell you this much with great certainty:
I like light-hearted laughter, soul-searching questions, and that precipice of commitment.
My favorite settings would be:
High Fantasy
Modern Fantasy
Science Fiction (new worlds, a newer Earth, even just in the immensity of space)
I consider it a given that, where boys and girls coexist in a story, Romance will blossom.
Horror I have a very weak stomach for. (I read the basic instructions for Betrayal at House on the Hill and had to consciously tell myself that night that everything was fine and I would sleep safely. I didn't even play a game; I only read the instructions!)
I stay away from graphic violence, sexual depictions of any nature, and profanities. I'm very much a PG-rated writer; I plan on sharing everything I write as bedtime stories with my kids someday.
I play a convincing dude (I'm sure you never would have guessed that), but a vast majority of my favorite characters are female. So if you have romance in mind, I'm happy to play either party. If you don't want a romance, you will probably have to tell me that plainly. Then I'll just go with what feels right for the story, subject to a few personal whims which I hope will only bolster the plot and development.
I'm very picky as far as my own ideas go. I'll try just about everything I can think of to break the idea in order to insure there are no gaping plot holes. I invite everyone else to examine my ideas in a similar light--different people, different thought processes, different problems discovered--and to offer any compliments or constructive criticisms you have. As part of that, I absolutely love pushing the boundary of an idea as far as it will stretch, or looking for that odd, "I never thought of using it like that" approach to a character's abilities.
What else would I say with this space? I really like old poetry; reading Isaiah gives me the happy trembles. I hope I've presented a fair assessment of my writing style and capabilities through this brief introduction. I love creating--creating characters and bringing them to life from the page; creating worlds filled with fascinating lore and beautiful locales; creating stories, be they narrations of ordinary men and women facing their trials or epics of fated heroes overcoming every obstacle to save Dwarf-kind.
And, in closing, I'm excited for the chance to work with you. I should be able to post daily. PM me anytime, especially if you have a question about anything I've said here or elsewhere, but even if you only want to chat. You could even ask me about my mysterious two-year absence. I'll tell you now that I was in California, but that doesn't really answer the question. I'm happy to talk anytime.
Sweet water and light laughter until next we meet!

Whoops. I reworked that on my copy already. =P Just didn't put it here, I guess.
I love it. ^_^
I already have. I wasn't sure if she'd seen this or not, so I sent her a link. And Haven's CS. I feel kinda like a busy-body now. =(
Uh-oh. There's no way I'm going to be able to manage as good an entrance for Ruri as last time. :tear:
When you didn't restrict anything, we wore you ragged. When you put up restrictions, we question you ragged. The fact that we're so absorbed in this means we love it, though. So thank you, both for an awesome RP and for being such a fantastic GM.
EDIT: I wouldn't mind. I'd probably prefer it.
EDIT: I wouldn't mind. I'd probably prefer it.
Next up, two more questions that may or may not have an impact on the RP:
1. Can sentient weapons exist as their own character? A demon or angel (or maybe even human) that was cursed/transformed/something-ed into a sword or similar.
2. Is there anything preventing a demon from living among humans?
Actually, I'm going to add a third. Touhoure, as you may recall the Hunters each had a gem in their weapons. For the Cursed, it is a gem that senses demonic power, for the Blessed it is an angelic one. Is that still acceptable?

Why would a Queen be crowned when there is a son to take the throne? That's the piece of the argument that I don't understand here. Unless Michael is incredibly liberal for the time period, the oldest son is the heir.
I see, Arsenal. Sounds like you've got a plan. ^_^
