Who Art Tho?

The man known as Xan
▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
Hello there! You can call me Xanadu through originally on Old Guild I was known as Fa11ing Phoenix. I'm a University student that lives on the East Coast of North America studying History and Philosophy with aspirations of either becoming a History Professor or working in the Digital Humanities. I used to be really into forum based roleplaying when I was younger starting out on Neopets before moving to Max-Dan-Wiz and finally ending up on the Old Guild.

As I entered college though, I found it hard to find time to allocate time to writing posts when I have to write essays for grades and the like. Recently though, I've decided that for the sake of my own mental health that I have hobbies beyond work in an attempt to help keep myself sane. And thus I have returned with the expressed intent of continuing to do this weird collaborative writing experience that I love so much!

Hello! I've been lurking about for some time now! I think I have an idea for a concept but I had a quick question first.

So cute I'm toying around with adapting an outline for a sprawling
3-part Aquaman fanfic, that I've had lying around for sometime that I think would translate well here. It's heavily inspired by Peter David's run with a strong focus on the cyclical nature of destruction that is Atlantean history and a strong emphasis on Aquaman's connection to the Clear.

My question then is how much creative freedom would I have with it, particularly in regards to Namor? Is the framework that you described, the definite canon of Atlantis in the RP or considering his dropped status, do I have permission to approach it from a blank-slate.

I of course would prefer the second option, but I'm fine either way and can adapt if that is not the case.

I'm still unsure if Funeral or The Suburbs is my favourite Aracde Fire album...

Hey look at that! Intro post is up and alive.

So for the last two or so days y'll have been staying in the big old hotel called the Kinmokusei: kinda like the mixture between a Las Vegas casino and one of this crazy hotels in Dubai. It's big and fancy and probably way out of most of your league. Earlier this morning, a message was left for you to all be waiting in the lobby at seven in the morning. When you arrived, you were all ushered into the Van and driven over to the rendezvous point. Your free to chat amongst yourself, take in the sights, or have some introspective pondering, or whatever suits your fancy.

Alright, alright, alright. After some consideration and consultation, I have come up with the final roster. To everybody who PM'D me or posted your sheet here and you weren't accepted. I thank you for you time and effort. There is always next time right?

@Cairo playing Jon Durand: What can I really say here? Jon is your sorta classic cyberpunk protagonist, but with a few twist that make him help stand out. I love the world building you did with Maginot and the little touches you made to help flesh out Western Europe more fully. All in all an excellent job!

@jakeb1993 playing Peter Skrit: Let me start out by saying I love Peter as a character. He's completely different from what you'd expect in your head when you imagine player character in a Cyberpunk RP, but still manages to easily fit into the world. His skillet brings something different and new to the table, and his connections with various cooperate entities may or may not become useful when things to go to shit. That and how could I say no to his vast collection of bow-ties? (I love little character details like that.)

@Indy Cooper playing Shen Mei Yun: Ever team needs a skilled hacker and whose better for the job then 咆哮的老鼠? Really though I like that Mei Yun as a believable character. Like she feels like she could be a real person which is always a good thing in my book. She's definitely well quirky in some ways, but hey isn't everybody. That and having somebody from the GFEZ is going to be rather useful at least in the beginning for our intrepid band of adventurers.

@OppositionJ playing Akina Izuna: Ah yes, the scion of an important company mixed with an experiment gone terribly terribly wrong or right depending on who you might ask. She's an interesting character with layers to her, and that's always a good thing. And you seem to have a very solid platform upon which to expand her form, which is also another good thing. I really apprecaited the detail you into with her sheet from her background, to her weapons, and her personality. It really helped give me a sense of her character. And of course well PsySys presents some interesting opportunities on my end as a GM of course.

and last but not last we have @Red Coil playing Sam Li: Alright here is the deal. I really like what you have done with Sam at the moment. The genetic engineering spin on things is interesting and different. Your little lore dumps were great and ypu clearly seem to care about Sam as a character and the world. That's something I can appreciate. Yet you hadn't finished your sheet, but at the same time it is the part of the sheet that matters the least, the personality section. Because personality mutate and change over the course of RPs as we as writers find the voices of our characters. So I'm gonna break some rules here and take a chance on you. Because I like the idea and I'm interested to see where you take her.


You may all move your CSs over to the CS section of the Roleplay. I will also be sending you all a PM link to the discord posthaste. And the introductory post is already in the works, so expect that soon!
@Jarl Coolgruuf
I got it!
@Plank Sinatra
I can't really in my good conscious extended it just for you. It was stated clearly in several places that the deadline was at 12:00 AM today. Cause if I let you finish up your sheet that would be unfair to those that followed instruction. Which would be as the kid's say.... kinda a Dick move? I hope you understand.
