Tentative CS:

Lux

Name: Lux Alucio
Gender: Male
Age: 19

Appearance: Medium length blonde hair with blue tips, purple eyes, slightly tanned. Keeps himself in decent physical shape. His street clothes consist of vests and slacks, in different colors on different days, the vest always worn over a white dress shirt.
Wicked Costume: Doesn't bother too much with fancy trappings. Hides his hair under a knit cap, wears silver glasses that hide his eyes, and dresses much more casually than he does in his streets, usually wearing a black fleece and jeans with sneakers.
Wicked Suit:

Personality: Very calm. Has tendencies to spend a great deal of time to himself, though at the same time, he often surrounds himself with people. Whether or not he's social seems to simply be a tossup based on his mood. A bit self centered.
Likes: Starchy foods, books, having money to spend
Dislikes: Working, being given unreasonable demands, hot peppers

Dream: Seeks contentedness and ease of life. Can come off as a bit of a hedonist, but is actually just a tad lazy.
Fears: Being alone, having nothing, clowns.

Prior History: Raised by a loving and nurturing family, Lux was given freedom to do most anything he wanted in his life. As such, he became a bit self centered and sometimes arrogant. Got lost at a circus when young, which even further reinforced his self serving attitude, causing him to never go anywhere he didn't want to, and leaving him with a lifelong fear of clowns, due to running into a group of them smoking and drinking, which he couldn't, at the time, understand.

Said that earlier. The reason for the generic weapons is a thing akin to Bleach, since the students' weapons are an extension of their spirits. I mean, they have dorm rooms with non-reaper students, so it'd be kind of odd to find dangerous weapons in the dorms, yada.

Okay,so this isn't gender locked, then. I'm interested in playing a wicked. Is there a character rubric?

Missed it. The joys of reading from a phone

Alright, so still need the writing sample, but a few small notes, the person carrying the Grim Reaper title for the sake of this continuity has the title for hundreds of years, so it may be good to change that note by either removing it or changing the family members to highly prolific or powerful reapers. And the other note is to keep the weapons limited to a generic type FOR NOW.

Accepted, yada

Keepers of Death (Black University Saga, the First Year) Interest Check

Name: Ethan Yurievich
Age: 19
Appearance: Trimmed black hair and clean shaven. Green eyes. He's pale and has a slim build. About 6'1. Usually dresses in whatever he can throw together, so long as it's clean.
Weapon: Sword
Background: 5th generation Russian immigrant. His family moved over to the United States before the start of the Second World War. Raised by a young mother and father, he didn't have the strongest upbringing, except when his grandparents were around. As such, he has always been a troublemaker and had issues with authority. He got into drugs when he was 13, but did enough of his schoolwork to get by in the middle of his class, when he wasn't getting suspensions for causing trouble. When his parents received his invitation to the school with a free ride, he wasn't given any choice, and his parents shipped him off to Black University.
Personality: Laid back, lazy, and generally full of himself, Ethan constantly halfasses things and doesn't pay attention to the consequences of his actions. While he would seem a slob, he does take care of his appearance and hygiene. Fancies himself a ladies man. Is more of a lech who gets away with it by having drugs people can mooch off him.
Quote: "Chill and relax, babe, not like there's anything else we can be doing."

What kills RPs? (A Discussion)

So, it's a simple question. So far since the return of the guild, I've only had one RP I participated die, and that was before it started.

So I offer the question to ALL forumgoers, what kills it, and in what levels? Free, Casual and Advanced do share some problems, but I am sure they all have their unique faults.

A couple off the top of my head are:
GM being a bit of an iron fist ruler
and
GM losing interest in the story and letting it drift off.

In any case, please, chime in, discuss, see if we can't find ways to avoid these pitfalls in general!
