Thank you, Esailia. Here's my form, just in case Yuuta's okay with me popping in:

Name: Zeke

Age: 22

Race: Human

Appearance: Zeke is 5'11" and severely underweight at 108lbs. He has narrow gray eyes and a mop of black hair. He pays special attention to his hygiene, but never to his looks, so he generally seems messy and unkempt. Over a plain outfit of a long-sleeve shirt and pants, he always wears his blue cloak. Stitched into it is a map of the stars (as seen from home), and it is pinned to his shirt with a long silver pin.

Role: Mad scientist Researcher. Also, an astronomer.

Personality: Zeke is incredibly intelligent, even unnervingly so, but at a price. He suffers from a combination of personality disorders, including among them schizoid and obsessive-compulsive personality disorders. He also has an antisocial personality and is most likely mildly schizophrenic*. When he is lucid, Zeke is arrogant, though incredibly deceitful. He makes every attempt to appear normal and likeable so that no one can sense his true self and motives, and sometimes wishes that he were the person he pretends to be.
(*I am NOT implying that schizophrenics are psychopaths, or vice-versa. This character just happens to be both. I have researched these disorders extensively and would like to practice making Zeke as believable as possible. Thanks.)

Bio: At a young age, Zeke recognized that he was not the same as everyone else. For a time, he played along, acting like the mindless sheep he saw them as. Eventually, he tired of pretending to be someone he wasn't, and ran away at age 14. He never looked back or concerned himself with the life he lived with his parents, the fates of whom remain unknown to him to this day. He supported himself through illegal means, staying separate from the rest of the society to which he felt he didn't belong.

Zeke always had a fascination for how and why things worked, and an even greater fascination for the unknown. On his own, he studied known mathematics and tried to create new kinds. His interest in the unreachable realm of stars and the space beyond inspired his research, leading him into the world of science. His attempts at space travel and inter-dimensional travel all failed, which he attributed to his profound lack of magical affinity.

A portal to another world entirely immediately caught his attention, and Zeke promptly presented his proficiency in star-charting and his developments in science, including crudely-crafted lenses. He didn't mention, though, that he had no intentions of returning. Why would he want anything to do with a people who, if made aware of the true feelings he harbored, would ostracize him eternally?

Skills: Navigating, drawing, lying, general sciences and mathematics, attention to detail

Magic: None

Equipment: Paper, inking pens, mapmaking tools, pocket telescope, spare glass lenses, other miscellaneous mathematical and scientific measuring devices (such as a compass), scrap wood and metal rods, twine, small gears.

Other: Zeke's silver pin is his primary weapon. It's a bit over a foot long, meticulously polished and maintained. It's good for stabbing, though he generally uses it as a sort of flashlight. It looks like a giant needle, with the head of it installed with a series of lenses designed to magnify and direct light along the reflective shaft. This has practical uses, though it can also disorient foes. Otherwise, it's not a very conventional weapon, as it can only "produce" about 100 lumens of light, given the surrounding brightness, and has almost no range. Considering his poor physique and lack of magic and an effective weapon, it's not surprising that Zeke relies on his wit to oust his enemies.

@sntabe Okay, I'll accept you because we could use an astronomer. You can post in the character tab.

@Yuuta Just a heads up that I'll be away from my computer for the next few days starting tomorrow afternoon (which would be the wee hours of the morning for anyone using EST, since I'm in China) as I'll be on vacation hiking in Zhangjiajie. I should return on Saturday night (Saturday morning for most of you guys). I'll make sure to post before I leave if the IC is up by then. If not, I'll post immediately upon returning.

@Yuuta Thanks for accepting me! ^u^

Question: How well do our characters know each other at the start of the roleplay? Do they just meet for the first time, or have they had the opportunity to get to know everyone's names and chat a little and such?

@sntabe Well, theoretically they would have had time to meet each other in the city. So, I'd say it's up to you guys how well they know each other.

@checkeredsoul Yup. You can put it in the characters tab.

Random question I know, but would it be strange if I wrote my posts in the first person? Or would you just prefer me to use third person?

I was going to write up a draft of a post, and my sleep addled brain just started the first two lines in first person, and I decided that it would personally lend an air of freshness to how I write my character. If this isn't what you'd prefer, I'm comfortable with third person with no trouble.
