I ALSO realized that I set my goals for the week a little too high. Regardless, I will definitely try my hardest to avoid having a life so we can get this going ASAP!

You guys must have missed this. I swear I'm not slacking off, I'm just the only one who doesn't fuck around all day at my job. I had to go in for a short while, then go to my parents' to do laundry because our dryer is dead. While I was there, I was basically forced to eat dinner. Then, when I returned, I was told that my landlord will be here tomorrow morning, which meant I had to help clean the house and my own room. It also means that I won't be sleeping: She'll be here at 10:30am, which is two hours after I normally go to sleep.

That's not exactly a question for me. They're gonna be your characters, so you can determine where they're at. The map will definitely help out, and I can GM shit to push you guys toward each other if need be. I'll paste what I said to Kyle over PM regarding plot:

Me said As far as plot, I more-or-less have an idea for my Endgame, but that may change depending on what happens. Basically, the first arc will be a classical rising action. I'm not going to force too many main plot lines, just hint at a couple and establish some of the leaders' motivations. I want everyone to establish their place in the world. The second arc will introduce war among the factions. The third arc will probably involve the Commonwealth, and the fourth and/or fifth arcs will hopefully be the conclusion. That's my rough "plan" but it will likely change depending on what the characters do. My secondary plan is to revolve the arcs around the characters a wee bit more, so plot doesn't stunt everyone's development. And if the narrative happens in a way that doesn't allow for single arcs at a time, lot of shit might just explode at once Michael Bay style (but with plot and no American flags).

One CS in the thread. The other on the way soonish.

So you're going for some nice wincest this time around? Sweet, I can be senpai."O-onii...chan...~"

*Sigh* You just had to, huh?

Big surprise, I was busy as hell today, so things are moving a lot slower than I had hoped.

Hailstorm

Worth? Did you get a pentakill?

Still doing my CSs. I decided to do two: A brother and sister. It's a new character dynamic for me, as well as my first female main character. God help me.

While trying to find pictures for both of them, I had an epiphany: The internet must exist for the sole purpose of making people hate reproductive organs. Wherever I looked for appropriate images for my female character: Boobs. As I looked far-an-wide for a fitting male picture: Dicks. When I didn't see those things, I saw oversexualized clothed women and dudes with ridiculously large swords; both seeming to imply censored... B&D we'll say. It all makes it very difficult to find what you're looking for with efficacy.

I also realized that I try way too hard on character sheets that are for MY RP. I spent like two hours giving my characters names that have significant meanings, then another two digging through the web to find the "right" images (that just ended up being "close enough").

I ALSO realized that I set my goals for the week a little too high. Regardless, I will definitely try my hardest to avoid having a life so we can get this going ASAP!

I just know it'll be a BURDEN on Jones to take care of all of you sickos.

Hahaha! It's a PUN! See what he did!? It's PUNNY!

For real though, Imma get on my CSs now and start working on an IC tonight, and probably have it by Thursday at the latest.

Hailstorm: A Burdened World

Okay, go ahead and jump on over to the OOC and start your CS whenever. The IC will be coming within the next couple days.

Hailstorm

Anytime? On the CS thread. You guys can go ahead and put them here and/or in the CS thread as soon as I approve them.

Or did you mean mine? I said tonight probably.

Hailstorm

Threw together some quick descriptions of the faction leaders in the "side characters" section of the CS thread. If anyone would like, they can "take over" any side character listed in the thread. This includes faction leaders.

I didn't include the Voyager leader because I'm not sure who I want him or her to be.

I have decided that the IC will likely come on Tuesday (my next day off) or Wednesday. If you guys have any objections, or would like certain things fleshed out (I will make a local map first) I can delay it until Thursday (the next day off) or later if absolutely necessary. I'll make my own character(s) probably tomorrow.

On a related note, when I DO start the IC, how does an "event" system sound? In order to make sure everybody has something to do, I'll generate eventy-questy things in the world that characters can choose to participate in or not. This will also help me drive the main plot lines by passively moving you guys without God-Modding. I've never actually tried a system like this, but it seems interesting and efficient, so if you guys think it sounds good, I will GM that way.

Two characters accepted today:

The Mechanic,

The Only Female Crazy Bitch Berserker (nailed it)

Also, by using my Make Shit Up powers, I have deduced the race equivalents in our world! People from Occas, the west-most continent will most resemble people of Germanic European descent; Medan people will resemble our Slavic descendants; and finally western Ortus people will resemble Africans while eastern Ortusan's will resemble eastern Asians. Basically, geographically every ethnic group originates from a similar place as on Earth; specifically the western hemisphere. However, since Obit has significantly less land mass and has a unified government for half a century, the whole world is a racial melting pot.

I mad a really lazy map edit duplicate, but I thought it might be offensive because of it's laziness...
