Wow, that's a lot of responses. [quote=BlueBravado] I would love to be a part of this! This is an excellent story set-up. I have never been very interested in the whole romance deal, but you got my attention. [/quote] Thank you so much! I'm glad you like it, and I'm excited to have you join us. [quote=RumikoOhara] Will Nekomata be permitted? [/quote] Yes, I will permit nekomata, but only as long as those using them as characters be smart about how their powers are used. For example: Abilities like shape shifting should probably be used on a small scale until these characters receive their collars, but passive abilities like immunity to poison would be fine even before that. Obvious magicks should obviously not be used before a character has been "claimed" (even then, I would ask that you keep all undead army building to a minimum - I don't want any overpowered characters or their armies wreaking havoc here). I'll probably allow a couple of nekomata-related abilities to be unlocked either in addition to or in place of one of the magicks provided by a human partner. I'll make sure the CS format can accommodate this. --- Thank you for the interest, everyone. I think we have enough people to get started, so I'll get the OOC up as soon as I can. I'll try to have it up this weekend, so probably either tomorrow or the day after. If anyone has any more questions or suggestions, please feel free to post them here. Especially if you see any obvious flaws with the idea, because I know that I miss important important things sometimes.
