Sonic Spindash RP is closed.

Founded 05/25/2002 by three friends; ended 09/19/2012.

It pains me to say this, but we're done. Thank you to those who have participated and followed along these many years. We had a lot of fun, and your contributions will be remembered for a long time to come.

Strangers and visitors of the future, please respect what is ours. If there is anything in the form of writing or rules you'd like to borrow for your own RP, please e-mail me on the gmail account "onsoku" for permission. Chances are I'll grant it if you are a nice, intelligent person, and agree to just a few small stipulations regarding proper crediting method. But please, leave our characters alone.All fan-made, original, non-SEGA characters, character art, and concepts remain property of their respective creators. Please show respect and don't try to take any of them for your own use.

I hope that some of us will be able to move on and have some more fun writing hobbies in the future. No matter what, we'll stay in touch, and this group will live on, even if it has nothing to do with RP.

I love you guys. God bless.

What is your character's name?
> Binary

Species?
> Gorilla (cyborg)

Age?
> 19

Give us a couple paragraphs of general info about your character. For example, what's the character's personality like? What kind of things does he or she do? Why does he or she do it?
> Being an Ape, she likes to monkey around and her attire is evident of her active lifestyle. She has a natural friendly charm with her loud, open nature, but she’s also self-conscious about her body (her height and big arms, she thinks she looks too manly looking). Non-judgmental and trusts too easy, she's prone to being taken advantage of.
Known for being sympathetic, neutral minded, and the worry-wort. She's at her best when working with others as if she's not complete by herself (and honestly, are we really complete without our friends in real life?). She tends to take on too much, including others responsibilities, this has to do with her generous nature, but it can take it's toll on her.

Does your character have any skills or special abilities, a gimmick, or anything that makes it stand out as an athlete or fighter? If so, talk a little about it here.

> Her large arms obviously mean she’s capable of some pretty hefty damage, though she never was trained to fight, her natural knack for acrobatics and strength as a Gorilla makes her seem like a natural, but fighting on solid ground without swinging around and you’ll see how impaired she is in that area.
Her "special ability" has to do with her cyborg half, which enables her to control coded programming and create grand (non-tangible) illusions.

Does your character have any purpose? (It's okay if you don't have this fully figured out yet, but all the better if your character does have an agenda or some sort of driving force to it to make it interact with other characters.)
> I like to keep it generic for future RPs in all sorts of places. Her goal is "to support and help others take down oppressors."
She does have a more narrowed down one, but it applies to the Archie Universe more. Though if still interested and in case it may apply: "To fight against the inequality of free-thinking roboticized and cyborg individuals." (since they were treated as second-class citizens) Other than that, she'll fight against any inequality since she knows how it feels to be outcast.


Does your character have an image? You can post it here, if so (as long as you follow the rules mentioned in the character guidelines). If not, please write a description of your character's appearance.
> Description: A large armed, purple gorilla with a white belly shirt and skin-tight pants that go down to her knees. Her hair is a bright green with pink inserts and wired implants coming out of the back of her head. She wears relatively simple gloves for ease of dexterous movement, but her eyes are the most diverting aspect of her features which are a deep pink with a glowing blue "second iris" due to her cyborg half.
Actual Picture (just for you to look at if my description isn't vivid enough, just don't put it on a wiki or anything): http://binarynexus.deviantart.com/art/Binary-Ref-Sheet-219165973
(Is currently working on a SA Style one for her, never done it before so if it isn't "good enough" it could be awhile before I have a pic of her for here )

Will you be around to play your character regularly? (i.e. Keeping daily tabs on any threads you involve yourself in, and posting whenever it's your turn?)

> I believe so.

Do you live in or near the Americas, or elsewhere? (It may be difficult for you to participate in any of the fast-moving sessions if you're only online when the rest of the group is asleep. So, we ask this just to be aware of any potential problems.)
> Middle-West of America.

And last but not least, what is your name? (For privacy purposes, you should not post your last name! This forum isn't private!)
> Err... I'd rather just go by Binary. The name came before the character so I'm used to it. (my real name is too private to me and I only use it for "face-to-face" interaction )

Three things:

1. Cyborg with no mention of why it is a cyborg. (Please don't think we're asking for a life story or biographical document, here, but, you know what I mean, hopefully—being a cyborg is just a pretty big thing to glaze over in a character submission.)

2. Special ability seems like it was thought up in passing. There's no explanation, even in the softest of scifi, of how she creates illusions, or to what extent. It is only mentioned that she can, and then left there.

3. The character's visual design is very Archie, to the point of not really fitting here in a Sega/Sonic Team-based RP. It just isn't a universe where primates have hand-feet, cats have visible claws, and dogs have paw pads. Everything here is humanoid.

In short, venturing a guess, this character seems like it might have been intended to be a half-roboticized Freedom Fighter in an Archie-verse RP, and it hasn't really been adapted to the main-series universe yet.

This review isn't to try to say that it's a 100% bad submission, rejected to the extreme, but just that it seems rushed, and not like a good fit for what we RP here. Sorry; no go on this one.

Edited: Well I did have a question and was willing to provide the full bio and such, but this place is so confusing and I'm making so many costumes at the moment I don't think I'll have the time to study this place as thoroughly as I hoped before I'm thought to be "dead here" before I ever get around to RPing and such.

So I'll just change my priorities, feel free to erase this thread or something. Really, I didn't mean to waste your time, but I think I'm doing the right thing here with what I have on my hands.

Good luck you guys, :3

Seriously? You get terse because you aren't answered within a couple hours of your reply? This is a forum, not a chat room. If you want an instant answer, come into the IRC channel.

It's definitely for the better that you move along.
