The only thing I don't understand is the whole Key deal. Like, are we going to have to play two characters? Do we choose our key or is this Key a seperate character from our character? I know you said you can't be a Key and a Human on the site, but if nobody wants to be the Key then who will? Only thing I'm really confused about. Everything else I get a just about.Also, welcome back. I have a 18 page paper due next week, and I need to cram a bit for some finals, so I know how you're feeling. But at least after next week it's summer time, and we should all in theory be mostly free.

Keys are separate characters, which originate from the world that is Cell City. They can have any shape and form in that dimension, yet take the form of keys in our world.

Keys are partners of the human players. They are the ones who serve the guide function if they have ever been in the game before, but if they are new, there are a bit clueless, despite knowing the basics, since the system automatically gives them the information upon their creation. Their main role is, very narrowly speaking, the partner/companion/support/attack one. It's very dangerous to walk around the streets when you're alone in Cell City, so they're supposed to be the ones who watch your back (in theory, of course). 

If you are playing a human character, the said character's Key can NOT be played by you. It MUST be played by someone else.

How your human character picks the Key is explained on the site.
How it is decided which Key will be picked by which human, prior to the role-play's start or during the story, is rather simple. You go to "Key Store" and pick whichever you like. I liked El's idea to not reveal the character sheets of the Keys to anyone except me and their owners, in order for the choise to truly be realistic. 

However, I must note that the "Key Store" is currently closed. Once I'm sure we have enough humans and Keys, I'll announce that the users, who are playing human characters, can post in the OOC (which will be made once I am sure there are enough people on this boat) which Key they want for their character. First comes, first serves. I'll give a warning some time, maybe a day, before the announcement for the opening of the store, in order for you to be ready.
