Alright, take a look at this and let me know what you think: [Document](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1y2DLfgpirxGx7a-fv_Jr3ZAz1kLo_M7SGrV7NGBEkQc/edit?usp=sharing)

> We could have just used the character tab to keep track of our characters. That'll be once everything is finalized. In the planning stage we're too fluid to go all formal.

Hang on, I've googled 'google documents' and I'm going to see if I can do one as well. I don't actually know how, so this will be mere auxiliary unless I get it running and you guys like mine better. Seraphs, you said you were fine with joining former team Blackguard. How would you like to be leader?

> I'm starting to think we need a goggle doc or a pad doc to keep track of all this. Probably a good plan! I have no idea how to do that.

> I'll be adding more detail to Kuhaku's CS and making a few changes. The most major change will be his weapons/combat style along with a revision of his Semblance. Question though, do we necessarily HAVE to fill out the personality portion or can we leave that up to interpretation in the RP? If I didn't want the section to be done, I wouldn't have put it in. I know it can be hard to condense a character with potentially infinite depth into a few short sentences, but the entire point of sheets is reference. Direct characterization is a lot easier to perceive and work off of than indirect characterization. Blackguard spent about fifty pages in the test, but I can't for the life of me recall the intricacies of Shiro's personality, so having a reference I could use when playing Abel (who does recall those intricacies) is a big help. @Seraphs, not quite. We finished that exam in the previous chapter, and we're beginning later that day when the teams are being named by the headmaster back at the school. No worries; my opening post IC should make everything pretty clear. @Agent, not quite sure what you mean, but if you want to have more than one character, I don't think I can allow that. We have more than enough players to justify a single-character-per-player limit. @Everyone, once you have your team of four in mind, write it down somewhere so you can give it to me in the OOC later with a team name agreed upon by the members. Team naming conventions are as follows: the first letter of each member's name is used to make an acronym. The acronym could be a word, or an abbreviation for a word. Creative license can be taken, but nothing too far-out. The team leader's initial comes first. For example, my previous team was, as you know by now, Blackguard. The acronym was BKGA, for Bridgett, Kukaku, Gren, and Abel. Bridgett was leader. We also had PRGT for Purgatory, consisting of Priscilla, Robert, Greyson, and Tai, with Priscilla as leader. There is a website called [Wordhippo](http://www.wordhippo.com/) that's great for this. Just head there, hit the 'select option' button, find 'words containing' at the bottom, and type in your four letters. It will use them in order, so if you don't find any good words, mix 'em up. I would be happy for the sake of canon if we tried to keep previous teams as intact as possible, but...whatever, I guess. Just for fun, the previous teams (with the lost members omitted) were: Priscilla, Robert, Greyson Kuhaku, Abel, Gren Auriel (Now Oswald), Jack, Sasha (Narc) Cynthia (Shadowkiller), Laura (Now...Sven), Trico (Now Mokuren) and Ineko (hah-hah)

Holy moly, where to begin? @Harine, duly noted and awaiting completion. @Prince, I very much like it. She reminds me excessively of the old fourth member of team Blackguard, controlled by Galgarion. Her color was blue, she was a close-quarters fighter with a semblance that helps her get around, and her personality sort of fits. While you are, of course, welcome to partner up with Kafka, I think that Sapphire would fit into team Blackguard most excellently. @Forsythe, a unique character if I've seen one! Reminds me of Roman Torchwick greatly, I suspect that's the point. She is accepted. @Agent, possibly the most unorthodox idea I've seen yet. While I honestly can't recommend it for a whole team, it would be very possible for a single character to use a weapon like Pandora from Devil May Cry 4, which is a suitcase that transforms into various forms -including vehicles- to suit the combat situation. @Narc, good to see you! Personally I would suggest tweaking an old one, since you did have an impact on chapter 1. I believe I'll go ahead and link the character sheets to the OP so people can see what has and hasn't been done before as they're making their own characters.

Ineko and Jack are accepted. While Jack does have an electric theme to him, he's made his character sufficiently different from Abel. That, and it was Tree that accepted him before. @Forsythe and Silly, you're welcome to apply. @Everyone, if you're accepted, now's the time to start talking about team compositions. If possible I want everything to be decided by Sunday night at latest, so start throwing ideas around or, if you like, just have me assign you a group. Sunday is also the day I will be wiping our roster of every person who has not at least started a sheet. I will be attempting to keep previous teams together. I will probably put up the OOC today or tomorrow, and I will port over the characters so far. As for Blackguard, Lucius, I feel that the dynamic between Abel, Gren, Bridgett and Shiro is a good one, and Galgarion going away is a severe blow. I'd recommend us either making her into an NPC or getting a new leader to replace her, but it's all up for debate.

Come on in, Stella! As for people, have no fear. At the height of chapter 1, we had 20 active people at once and a 3-man waiting list.

No, one well-developed character will be enough. As for your picture, Jangle, sure...if you really prefer _that_ to the picture I made for you.

Don't worry about it. Just use the little picture icon that says 'image' when you float your cursor over it. You can put the image url in and it'll do the rest. Also make sure that you add the sections like 'personality' and 'speciality' as you go back through.
