I'll personally do that little "test" thing too if it helps them at all. Though, Tek knows me for the most part. I think I've been RPing with him for at least a year now.

I have 15 [b]total[/b] characters made throughout my entire 4 years of RPing. And only 5 of those did I  put almost no work towards, and I seriously regret that. They could have been so much better.
