Things have been a bit slow recently due to Christmas (I haven't even had time to finish my characters), but this is to let you all know that I'll be aiming to have the first IC post up on January 4th. I have a couple of exams the week after that so I may disappear briefly, but not for very long. For those who have yet to finish or post a CS, don't worry too much - while I may still be allowing character applications after the IC starts, it's just preferable to have everyone finished by then. Hope I didn't miss anyone off. Also, for those who have been accepted, start thinking about character relations! I've not made a proper character relationship sheet, just a key that you'll find below. It's just something you can tag on the end of your CS. Your character's will have known one another for either 4 or 5 years, via houses, classes, extracurricular activities, or simply knowing them from word of mouth and seeing them in corridors. Feel free to discuss in here, or via PM. :) [hider=Character Relationship Key] [b]Dating[/b] - Your Boyfriend/Girlfriend. This relation must be reciprocated. [b]Crush[/b] - Who your character likes romantically. This can be unrequited, and also used alongside another relation. (E.G. Two strangers may have crushes on one another, but may not know.) [b]Best Friend[/b] - This relation can be unrequited. (One person may consider another to be their Best Friend, but it doesn't always work both ways.) [b]Friend[/b] - This relation must be reciprocated. [b]Acquaintance[/b] - This relation must be reciprocated. [b]Stranger[/b] - This relation must be reciprocated. [b]Rival[/b] - Disliking someone, but not to the extent of making them your enemy or hating them. This can be unrequited. [b]Enemy[/b] - This can be unrequited. [/hider]
