[quote=@udonoodles] is the deadline this weekend, or will there be a brief grace period after launch? i've been busy this week, but if time isn't on my side i could knuckle down and try get a sheet done today. [/quote] Grace period. Usually I close the RP after I accept sheets, but I figure that there'd still be space for sheets in this roleplay. [@nodogs] has already mentioned to me about stuff too. [quote=@Theyra] I can change things if you want. I do not mind and have ideas of what to replace stuff with. [/quote] I don't particularly mind you not changing anything, as I said. Keep it if you want. I just figured to note the similarities between the two characters. [quote=@Force and Fury] [@Kuro] In terms of my bandwidth, I intend to manage it by playing my characters in 'arcs', so to speak. Out of the six, I'll probably focus on two at a time, with the others being mostly background. As for Jason, I can certainly understand how he looks... risky. The whole idea was to take a character who absolutely feels like a trope and examine him more deeply: what does this sort of cringelord actually look like in action and what does he actually [i]do[/i] once the [i]real[/i] apocalypse comes? How much of his prior 'experience' and 'preparation' is actually valid? I betcha the little halfwit is just [i]Jonesing[/i] to use his sword collection and all his parkour gear. How quickly does reality destroy the fantasy, or [i]does[/i] it? Does he crack? Are there copious amounts of copium? To some extent, Jason was intended as a lampoon of a certain species of metagamey character, but I want to play him with some heart and authenticity as well. I'd definitely hoped to give him one or two crowning moments of awesome amid the trauma and endless humiliation conga and maybe insert some levity while I was at it, but I'd conceived of him primarily as counterprogramming. However, if multiple people feel that he's metagamey and it's a potential cause of unease within the group that you're building, even as deeply excited as I am about this RPG, I'm alright with bowing out as well. I'm easy! [/quote] You don't have to drop out over a single character lol That kind of trope style is fine, it's just that it was mentioned to me that people saw Jason as an attempt to cheat the system, like a "haha, look at me, I know how to solve everything" type of character. Something that basically defeated any sort of danger or threat from the get-go, which would also defeat the purpose of the RP. But if you're more intending to go with the "life isn't a video game"-type approach, then yeah, I can give some leeway here.
