I've just read the OP, so I don't know if this RP is roaring forward or going slowly, but I'd like to express an interest in joining. Is it possible for a new character to join but potentially in a few days (in real time)?

I'm not making my character now, not enough time, but I can fill out the player sheet.

Username: Anzû

Timezone: GMT/+0/UK

Posting Habits: Evenings, sometimes also the afternoon and morning if it is a weekend or college is good. Eastern seems the most common timezone, so that is 12am-5pm for EST-5 people I think.

RP Peeves: Settings that are poorly thought out. So when I see an RP with a background that puts it a 4+ centuries into the future and then casually mentions the US or the PRC or whoever... Bleh. Or unrealistically bad/good progression of technology (always seeing 150 years pass and humans have FTL (too soooon) and the first genetically enhanced humans are starting to mess things up (nooo). Also characters that try to impose/control others just by how they are made i.e. having a contingency to let them deal with all the others, or who have an unreasonable (in some RPs no level would be unreasonable, of course) focus on combat and finally worldbuilding where people take real life countries and change them to fit an era.

Anything Else: If this is something I should have already read by now, uhh, sorry :p. But as our characters are waking up here, with a pretty good idea (especially after talking to each other) that they're just died, do we have to RP the whole intense mourning phase? For most RPs I'd try to make a fitting character and do things I don't know too well, this one sounds like it requires a character with an already thought-out (though open to change) theology and a detailed personality and way of acting, none of which I can really give a character that I make, so I'd have to think 'how would I react, think etc' for this. Lot of modelling the character off of myself, so playing through the 'just died, brb mourning' phase would be difficult and intense. I might want to avoid having to do that, obviously not avoiding the discussions about the situation and avoiding acting like someone in that situation, but just the first 20 minutes after realising what has happened to the character... Not so hot on that.

Edit: Also

I'm in that time of the year when universities are spamming me with 'would you like to attend an Aerospace Engineering interview during one of your only physics or chemistry coursework labdays?!?! Also you have to attend', plus I have the last week of my chemistry and physics coursework lab-time next week, two mocks for large maths modules, and puppy to look after between some lessons (not complaining). So that means I have to use most of my time analysing data, going in for extra labtime, cleaning up puppy poo, occasionally sneaking a date in, record a little graphite armature roll along two aluminium rails then furiously scrubing away the burnt carbon left behind, diluting various liquids and doing past papers. If I join, I won't be very active at all until at least the end of next week.
