Seeing how we do have quite a lot of people and even more characters, I must ask purely out of curiosity, will their be a cap soon? I don't care either way, (Actually, I'm excited by all the new peeps! :D) I'm just wondering tis all. @Norix.....I want that cat....

Likely, yes. I was going to keep the OOC open until I launch the Roleplay, but I hadn't expected it to get this much attention, so I will most likely close it early, wait until the excitement dies down a bit as well, as some people are going to likely come and go.

I'm hoping I'll have the chance to look over CSes tonight, but we'll see how much work I get.

What are you going as for Halloween?

Good luck keeping in-character, all that alliteration may alienate your allies.

Personally, I was going to just keep quiet.

Thank you for accepting my character~ ^-^ I am surely looking forward to this roleplay, seems it'll be quite interesting.

You're welcome! I'm more than happy to have you in the Roleplay and I'm sure we're all looking forward to it.

Unfortunately, I'm booked for tonight, so I cannot look over CSes right now, but I'll sort out all issues involving character sheets prior to the release of the Roleplay itself. If you all could take the time to vote in these two polls (one and two), it would help with development greatly. If you have any questions, please PM me or leave it here in the thread, you may also contact Grey, Lucius Cypher and greenhorn in regards to questions.

Thanks everyone and have a great night!

Zodiac Guessing Game!

You already pegged me once before, haha. Though, how much do you know about the other planets? Y'wanna try to guess my moon, too (unless we already talked about that, I don't remember)?

I don't know much about each individual planet, though I've been told that between my best and I, I'm the superior one at guessing moons (ironically, I'm downright awful at guessing suns). I know your sun-sign is Scorpio -- I'd need a little information for your moon, but absolutely!

Also, what planet would you want to know about?

Zodiac Guessing Game!

Then possibly yes.

What are you going as for Halloween?

I'm buying a Guy Fawkes mask and going as V. It'll be awesome too, because I want to go one year and just hide my actual identity for one day.

Gaming Journalism

Not really much to say, but blaming the same exact people that you as a journalist are trying to appeal to is less than effective. I somehow doubt this entire situation had to do with corruption in gaming journalism, freedom of speech or Zoey Quinn herself. This is more along the lines of gamers feeling offended for being generalized due these articles or to their intolerance of people such as Zoey and/or Anita's actions who believe that acting a certain way is justified by stomping on a term that neither if them seem to understand too well -- "Social Justice".

That's just my two cents anyway, I'm clearly Pro-Gamergate, but I can say I'm less than fond of some of Gamergates actions on Twitter and the like.

Makes you wonder when people will stop caring about this issue.

Academy Of The Arcane Artes

Full Name
Zane J. Harrison

Nickname(s)
Doesn't really have any in specific, but is occasionally (and more than likely, jokingly) called "Zaneh" or "Zaney".

Gender
Male

Age
16

Year
2nd

Birthday
September 9th

Astrological Sign
Virgo

Species
Human variant (i.e: we're not really sure what he is. We'll get back to you on that one).

Class
Mercenary, a name given to a class with the ability to use all three types of offensive fighting (close, range and magic).

Weapon
According to those who Zane knew prior to his affliction of retrograde amnesia, Zane had preferred an arsenal of bows and arrow-based attacks. However, his current weapon is a scythe-rifle variant which he has respectively dubbed as "Crow". Crow is designed for both close and ranged combat. The wings on the end of Crow can extend into a shield ("Icarus") that can take a few hits, lasting only as long as Zane himself can focus while on the battlefield. Thanks to unknown reasons, Zane is able to cast smaller spells in the field of black magic through incantations.

World
Lucis

Short Biography
Not much is known about Zane prior to life at the academy. Suffering both from a heavy case of amnesia, Zane previously resided with his supposed "Uncle" Marcus and his elven wife, Cecilia. Spending days helping them around the house, he was more than willing to attend the academy in hopes of honing his skills and becoming less "worthless".

Personality
Formerly an egomaniac with a condescending personality, whatever happened in the past three years of Zane's life caused him to revert to a much more quiet and reserved persona. Though he still thrives through a certain sense of cynicism, he has noticeable dry humor and slight pessimism that can quickly lead to a grouchy attitude. Despite all his downfalls (and his insensitivity), Zane is extremely helpful both off and on the battlefield and his sense of idiotic bravery is mistaken for fearlessness. However, this doesn't take away from his value as a fighter, having range over three types of offensive combat. Off the battlefield, he is revealed to be an extremely organized individual, suffering from a sense of perfectionism and OCD with a natural ability for cooking. He is also strangely artistic and at times, very mischievous and playful. Though his playful side is shown more from terrible puns and half-decent jokes, he is more serious than anything else with a slight witty sense of humor and of course, a strangely compassionate and rarely, laid-back side.

Partner
To be solved.

Fear(s)/Weakness(es)/Limit(s)
While on the battlefield, Zane can only focus his shield for only seven seconds at the maximum. He does not have many fears, but it is revealed that he is absolutely terrified of man-made heights such as lighthouses, airships, skyscrapers and so on, in a way, he also harbors fear for foreign technology (namely diseases) that can come from Earth. As mentioned previously, he suffers from a sense of OCD and perfectionism, though this never bothers him aside from OFF the battlefield. Over the past year or so, Zane has developed a noticeably inferiority complex that causes him to exert himself in order to "prove his worth" -- this is obviously his own stupidity as it often is the cause for "his almost death". Aside from that, another limit is that it takes an amount of time to reload his rifle (for enemy strikes and the like) and that his black magic spells are often so weak that they hardly even damage an opponent. He also occasionally struggles with migraines, flashbacks and night terrors that bother him on a whole new psychological level.

Strange Attributes/Abilities/Traits
He occasionally struggles from heavy migraines, flashbacks and nightmares that are likely former memories, though he does not dwell on them. This also goes for voices that he rarely hears as well. For some odd reason, one of Lucis' seven deadly books reactions to Zane, allowing him to be one of the few people in the world to access it. He is currently holding this book in his possession, though his own fear stops him from reading it.

Themesong
Need to think of one.

Other
He has a secret sketchbook that he carries around with him and often takes the time to draw in, he loves to draw people and landscapes (but is often too prideful to admit this). He is also an excellent chef and fancies experimentation while in the kitchen, but is terrible with bakery goods. He has a sweet tooth and absolutely loves strawberry shortcake. He is originally from Earth.
