Awake(working title) - The Sign-up Thread

[Overcast]

No worries I have actually thought of that. After experimenting with many net dice rollers I came to the same result as you, and so out of frustration I went online and got myself a dice cup and enough dice that I could play as GM and roll for characters as well.

I'll handle all dice rolls, but let you know when they happen just so everything is clear for spinning out of control.

I just went through and completely rewrote my character sheet. I like Clyde as a character, but I just guess I don't see him working out in this sort of RP. I still don't entirely understand how this works out, and the new madness talent was a bit forced due to some writer's block. If you have any suggestions, throw them in. And keep in mind, when I was writing Edmund, I basically wondered to myself, 'What characteristics do I dislike most in a person?' It turns out to be depression and nihilism.

I am willing to accept this character, but I hope that you have the wherewithal to actually play him. There is nothing worse than trying to play something that makes you sick just to be around.

Other than that I'm figuring he is going to need his team to survive in The Mad City because his willpower and his personality are weak and he seems like he'll be easily swayed down the way most nightmares want him to go. This isn't a bad thing, at least not for me since I am so keen on putting my characters through the ringer.

If you want some suggestions on a Madness Talent I can think up one fitting to your character, but they probably will be only slightly like the one you have now. So unless you are particularly unhappy with what you are using I figure I should keep my personal creativity for the plot when I close signups (not quite yet I should note so keep jumping in if you'd like).

Also I want people to get that just about any character can make it here, they just need a reason to stay up. This is their issue, and combined with any more immediate incarnations of said issue(desperate to get a 4.0 in school-that incoming test whose information was just stolen by a nightmare) or even separate problems altogether(realizing nobody knows you exist) help make up where they will be led in the plot and what might try to haunt them.

New Edit: Currently in an absolutely perfect mindset to start writing some plot for this stuff. So if our last couple of placeholders can find it in their hearts to get their profiles in I would love to start connecting the dots while I still feel lost. Cause this never lasts that long.

And the actual forum is back, so as a matter of precaution I'm sending out the signal and seeing if everyone is still fine to be involved, after all a week or so can cause some life events to occur. So changing your mind or telling me you are still around, and for a couple of you sending in them profiles, I'd love to get a proper grasp of where I am at right now and how longingly I should be staring at the dice.

I'll get on giving my swap guy a proper profile right now.

Edit: There. He is Rob now.

[Arcanum]

Well I have my last two exams on Monday and Tuesday, so on Wednesday I'll actually be able to put some time towards making a profile. So Wednesday night I'll have something up for you to criticize :P.

[lazy man]

I'm definitely still interested, despite all the craziness of classes going on. I'll finish my character's rather incomplete profile in a day or two (tomorrow?) and try and see if I can keep up without being overwhelmed by everything.

Oh, and my character's a crazy insomniac photographer. That should be interesting.

So on the definitely still here list is Phil, who I thank for being consistently awesome, Arcanum and Lazy.

Three is more than enough, but if any of you guys from before want to show you are still here I'm listening. Let me know within the week though because my anticipation in getting started putting the story together is starting to mess with me. I already got a primary antagonist for the characters I have put into the, "Losers" category. Which really may just be Wesley if the dropout rate is as high as it seems.

[Bard The 5th LW]

I'm still in this, so sign up Edmund as a loser.

[krogothwolf]

Sorry I'm still here!
