Two things, neither of which have anything to do with the character itself: 1. You may be disappointed to hear that we're in a bad, unwelcoming position story-wise right now. A lot of the cast is currently committed to a storyline with strange circumstances (see: deep space) that may make it difficult for new characters to get involved until said storyline concludes. It's still possible, of course, but just consider this fair warning that it may take some patience and collaboration to sort out. 2. The location thing. The good thing is that RP posts here can happen almost any hour of the day, since people just post when they're able to. The bad thing is that whenever we do have actual bursts of activity, it's usually in the evening hours (probably ranging anywhere between 6PM and midnight, GMT -5). Plus, actually getting meaningfully involved, both in-character and in a community sense, may be tough if you're never able to come around to the chat and get to know people. As far as the character itself? We haven't had a chance to do our usual thing where we run it past all the admin-folk, but I wanted to reply ASAP so as to not waste your time, in case you don't want to deal with the story and timing crap mentioned above. Still, judging by the quick once-over I gave the info, everything looks good, so unless someone else spots something I didn't, it's safe to consider the character accepted. So, what are your thoughts on all this? |

That's no problem, if it's an awkward time for new people to join I can quite happily wait a few weeks until that storyline ends. Quote: 2. The location thing.

Plus, actually getting meaningfully involved, both in-character and in a community sense, may be tough if you're never able to come around to the chat and get to know people. One of the reasons this character has such a subservient personality was to try and help deal with that problem. It would be entirely in character for him to stick at the back of the group keeping quiet and let others make most of the party do the important decision making work. That might solve a few problems and if not I do not mind someone taking control of him for brief periods of time if they need him for plot reasons. I can be up late enough to get onto the chatbox when others are on here, but the main problem at the moment is trying to get Trillian to work on my PC. EDIT: There is one thing I would like to quickly apologise for right now. Looking at Apex's profile again it looks like there were a couple of obvious grammatical errors and typos left in. I didn't have time to properly proof read it so apologies for that before hand. If I am allowed to edit that post at a later date i'll correct those mistakes at a later date. |

Oh, psshh. Don't worry about the grammar thing. I'm still finding and editing mistakes out of my profiles... But, yeah, you can make all the adjustments you want to on the wiki. Anyway! Your patience with the situation is super appreciated. And, you definitely thought through how this whole thing would work, so that's pretty cool. I'll just go ahead and stamp this one and start a wiki page for you. Apex I used the robot template for it, but if you'd rather just have a normal character profile template, we can easily change it over. It's up to you. You can log into the wiki with the same info as your forum account. If there are any problems with it or questions about it, don't hesitate to ask. Welcome aboard. |

Well, he is a robot so it's probably best his profile uses the template designed for him. I'll get to work on filling it out now since i'm going to have the time to spare. Cheers for creating that page by the way and for letting me join up despite the whole timezone thing. Thanks for the compliment as well, it's always nice to hear when something has been done right. |

No problem; thanks for coming around and being cool about everything. One thing I forgot to say before: Give us a poke here whenever you're done tweaking your wiki profile so we'll know to take a look and slap the big, fat approved tag on it. You have pretty much all the time in the world, though, so no rush. |

No worries, this is not the first long time roleplay i've joined part way through and having run one in the past I know know complicated plots can get. Quote: One thing I forgot to say before: Give us a poke here whenever you're done tweaking your wiki profile so we'll know to take a look and slap the big, fat approved tag on it. You have pretty much all the time in the world, though, so no rush. Got it, it'll probably be a week or so before it's finished though. There might be a few layout changes to make it easier to read and make it look a bit more professional. There is one thing I thought to mention though, there were a couple of additions added to the profile since it was first posted in here. Most of them are just trivia bits to give Apex a few character quirks, but one small bit was to his abilities giving him a reason to have minor acrobatic skills. You can find it under Other features/equipment. This was to stop his agility falling into negative stars and to help balance it out I specifically weakened his toughness. I'm sorry for not running it past you first but it can easily be removed if it's a problem. |

Nah, stuff like that's just natural development of the concept as you flesh it out, you know? I mean, I haven't looked yet, but it sounds like no big deal. The only time we've had problems with that was when people... did really random stuff, like suddenly trying to throw completely unmentioned magical powers on their characters after getting to the wiki stage, and stuff like that. (Yes, it's happened.) So, no worries. |

Well that's a good thing to hear. It doesn't give him anything which would otherwise seem out of place or the ability to instantly beat people, it was just so that his agility wasn't entering negative numbers. I'm somewhat curious as to what powers were added to the characters you mention. Did they change each character's entire bio to try and justify them or was the fact they could suddenly fire lightning bolts from their eyes suddenly added without any hint as to why? |

It's pretty funny, but I'll PM you so as to not publicly shame any former would-be members. |
