I think it's time for a widespread notification and update for everyone.

Before I say anything -- I'd like to wish you all a belated Merry Christmas, and I hope you all have a great New Year. 2016 has - in all honesty - been a complete train wreck for a variety of reasons, even in my own life personally. I guess here's hoping that the next year coming is an improvement, and I'd like this role-play to be something that can provide you all with enjoyment.

Since Ellion hasn't responded to me either in PM or through the notification they got here recently, I'm assuming they're out and won't bother notifying again.

'Private CS' has been accepted too, so go ahead and post your 'Public CS' over into the character tab.

[@Aewin][@Pudding][@Melo][@tsukune]

I appreciate you guys (and Ailyn) taking the time to get things going with your character sheets without needless delay (I know tsukune hasn't finished his 'Private CS', but I imagine it's only a matter of time now). I hope you enjoy the role-play, which is now essentially open for people who want to start early and write their character's experiences/interactions/et cetera prior to us making our way to the primary setting. You're not obligated to do this, so consider it an option if you'd enjoy it -- I'll notify everyone once they officially [i]need[/i] to start posting.

Aewin and Melo -- once you two aren't busy, I'd appreciate you making the edit in your character sheets involving replacing 'Trivia' with 'Notes'. I appreciate you doing it already, Pudding, so cheers for that.

I'm aware that some of you're busy with the holidays and such, so I don't mind that there hasn't been any communication in the thread itself yet, especially since you've been contacting me outside of it. Just try to get your characters together as soon as you're able to (I know a couple of you have sent me basic ideas over PM and such), because I'd like to not have this role-play become just another thread to die before it even begins like so many seem to on this site.

Haven't heard from you since the interest check, so I'd appreciate if you give me an idea on your status with this.

[list][*] [b]Leonard Christian-Walker[/b]'s 'Public CS' has received a few more little improvements.[/list]
[list][*] [b]Lucifer Van Bonaparte[/b]'s CS was also improved slightly.[/list]
[list][*] The opening IC post has been touched up to make it look how I wanted ideally, and as stated previous the role-play is now unofficially open.[/list]
[list][*] Accepted 'Private CS' PMs will soon receive an additional PM from me, and I'd prefer if nobody actually respond to those, since I want to keep those PM threads limited to your CS and the reply.[/list]
