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.

What is your character's name? > Agamennone "Aga" Bianconcini
Species? > Axolotl
Age? > 22
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? > Aga - the only thing he will answer to, because listening to people stumble over his real name is infuriating - is a trained explorer-archaeologist, a skilled athlete, and a graduate of Spagonia University. These traits are mentioned up front because he will bring them up at any opportunity available. Unfortunately for those around him, Aga has a bit of a habit of being a know-it-all. While he is in fact bright, educated, and pretty good at moving and jumping around, he's not nearly as good as he thinks he is in any of those categories. It doesn't help that he's almost as insecure about failing in one of his areas of expertise as he is about his less than impressive height. His fairly constant smug, I-know-more-than-you bluster is compensation for this. Luckily, this can by bypassed by giving him any form of praise, instantly making him into a (still slightly obnoxious) friend for life.
Underneath that, though, is a real dedication to the acquisition and sharing of knowledge. While proving himself by digging out ancient treasures and lost artifacts is a primary goal, Aga truly does aspire to the altruistic angle of archaeology. This also gives him an inherent distrust of those who wouldn't share their knowledge with the rest of the world, such as tomb thieves or scientists who won't share their amazing discoveries with the public (or when they do it's in the form of robot armies). Indeed, despite all his time spent in ruins and nature, Aga has a great appreciation and love for modern technology, believing that science is the most powerful force in the universe. Even fuzzy, powered-by-energy-rocks science.
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. > There's really no way to go spelunking or tomb raiding without running into robots or supernatural creatures, so as part of his attempts at being a renaissance man, Aga's picked up some fighting skills appropriate for his tiny size. He's also naturally quick and agile, and intelligent enough to not blunder into unwinnable fights (though given his overestimation of his own abilities, not always intelligent enough). His main gimmick though is the MagnaGrap, a hi-tech magnetic grappling gun, able to either pull Aga towards distant objects or pull smaller things (like people, lighter-ish robots) towards the axolotl with more strength than the little guy could muster. Thanks to being a member of a species that is a bizarre spectacle of science, he's able to quickly regenerate from wounds. Not that it matters a lot. Given his general smallness he'd prefer to not get hit period.
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.) > Aga lives for the exploration of strange new places, the discovery of ancient history - magical or mundane - and being able to brag about being the one to do those things. He has no problem accompanying others to achieve these goals, though he'll constantly remind them that he's the trained archaeologist until he gets appeased or tied to a rock and left somewhere.
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. > Aga is a short (80 cm!) white and pink axolotl with a long tail, green eyes, and reddish whisker-esque external gills. He usually eschews clothing beyond the standard gloves (dark blue and black work gloves, though he insists they are "exploring gloves") and shoes (hiking boots, also dark blue and black.) His only other accessory is a blue belt with pouches for his being a 90's comic book character occasionally used archaeologist tools for delicate objects and a hostler for the MagnaGrap.
When in social situations where he won't have to swim and get wet, he wears a blue and white Spagonia University jacket, because sometimes you just have to represent.
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?) > Except for my occasional bouts of bizarre sleeping times I am basically on all the time except for extremely late at night. And even during those I'll likely still be around during the early or late evening.
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.) > In the Americas, yeah.
Are you okay with having your character information and image on this website (such as on the wiki) for as long as you're an active member? > Heck yeah!
What is your name? (Don't post your last name! This forum isn't private!) > Frankie. Or Franky. I'm easy.
Start editing whenever you feel like it, and feel free to bug somebody if the syntax gives you any trouble! (Don't worry, it's better than that awful tikiwiki thing we had back when you came here in the Olden Times.) Let us know whenever you're done and satisfied with the article, and one of us'll stamp it.
Oh, and the only suggestion: probably oughta mention that bit you were talking about in the chat—the thing about the magnagrap-thing also being able to shoot a claw it can magnetically pull the user toward, for non-magnetic surfaces, since it's an important feature and all. Other than that? Good to go.
