Christ. Well, if they're good they're welcome, but I might need to start redesigning my plot if I end up with 12 characters. Oh well, that's what train rides are for.

Afraid I'm on a train right now,and so using my phone with remarkably spotty Internet. I therefore can't be very detailed, but the short of it is that you're both accepted! Go ahead and drop the sheets in the character tab.

@Zarkun@Thundercrash

I like both of your sheets a lot, but before I can accept them I need to talk to you both in PMs, clear up a few things. I'll send the messages tonight when I'm at my destination, but don't worry: it's real minor stuff.

ANYWAYS! Opening post comes tomorrow, with you all being thrust headfirst into adventure and mystery. I'm excited to write with you all!

Habakkuk 2:20, "But the GM is in Her holy Temple. Let all the Thread keep silence before Her."

I look forward to your judgement.

Well, if you want him to _think_ that his discharge was entirely due to his faunushood, I expect that would not be a thought out of the ordinary. There's still oppression and discrimination within the ranks, though probably not systematically enforced, so maybe he's taking the one signal factor and blowing it up in an attempt to absolve himself of wrongdoing.

That sort of victimhood thinking always makes great stories, but maybe that's just me.

@EnterTheHero

I doubt it. Atlas is a military government, and Faunus are strictly better soldiers than humans: they have displayed better physical capabilities and can see in the dark. I don't find it credible, or good for the plot of the RP, for atlas to reject them out of hand. There'd probably tension with the rights revolution being sort of shitty for everyone, but I expect Atlas was probably the first to accept Faunus for government service.

So, GM: do you have a date scheduled for us starting?

@EnterTheHero

I'm still ready to accept your character once the history is all set up. Repost it when you're done, for convenience.

I understand that benders are limited, but I don't think that you need to latch onto the philosophies of the show. There are always so many ways you can go with elements, the four types of bending can be conceptualized in so many ways. I mean, I made a hard-line, militaristic libertarian of an airbender, which I certainly think fits the concept of airbending, but has no basis in the show.

You'd never hear Aang declaring "Sic semper evello mortem tyrannis", in fact he was fundamentally against the position as a continuation of his airbending upbringing.

So just so everyone is on the same page: I will not be online with any sort of consistency until the evening of the 17th, at the very earliest. I will be putting the post up on the evening of the 18th EST, God willing, but I'll be flicking through characters before that to make sure everything is copacetic and the roster is plump.
