[h1]Announcement:[/h1]

I'm wanting my next post, which will come in a little less than a week, to be the one that transitions over through the night to the next day, and starts off the second round of fights, where PVP will commence.  Thanks to the precursor PVP between Cyan and oblivious, I'm sure most of you have at least a basic grasp of how it will work.  

One other major factor is that I'm going to be traveling for a whopping six weeks starting just after my next post.  I will have wifi, but I can't predict when, so I won't be able to consistently manage everyone.  Because of that, there will be greater player freedom to navigate through the City of Echoes, with the ability to create the world around you to an extent as you head towards your individual fights.  I'm definitely looking forward to it.

One stipulation of this greater character freedom is, however, that you can't introduce new factions, echoes, or big things like that on the fly.  There is a replacement, though, and one already somewhat in use: guest characters.  Astute observers might notice that the character of Souta, encountered by BCTheEntity's Motley Crue, belongs to another RP I'm in as well.  During the next week, I'm allowing everyone to create and submit for approval a guest character (following the guidelines presented in the OP) who's arrived under mysterious and supernatural circumstances to the City of Echoes, and who can be interacted with as anyone pleases.  This will, I hope, be an optional bonus to help spice up the experience while I'm less able to provide.

Additionally, due to me traveling, I am electing to choose a co-GM to monitor things and keep stuff running while I might be out of commission.  I'm envisioning this as more of a substitute thing than a shared power thing, but it'll still be a position of responsibility and power.   Specifically, I want someone who'll be available a lot of the time, who has some managerial experience, and who thoroughly grasps how the combat system works.  If you'd like to nominate yourself or another person, feel free, and I'll pick from those nominated about the same time my transitive post comes out.

If you have any questions, fire away.
