Gah. So many character ideas but I don't want to just go crazy.

@t2wave

Oh no, please do. Pixel already did and he's quite happy. And I know I plan to make quite a few more.

I certainly hope I'm succeeding in making Zach look like an absolute fool.

Specter-Zach was floating amidst a group of students amassed in the central area of the library. Some of them looked amused, others looked annoyed. Rest were wholly indifferent. He pretended to stand on a platform in mid-air, keeping a bit of focus on his movement so it wouldn’t look like he was drifting too much. He kind of failed in that regard.

"C'̧m͠on͝, c'̸mo͏n͘, ̛fǫr̴ ̢r͝ea͟l. ҉Gimm̢e'͏ s͘om͡e͜th̛ing."

He was met with silence, shrugs, and chuckles.

"N̵o͢th̕in̸g̛? A͠lŕi̡g͟h̷t,͝ ̷a̛l͟r̷i̷ght͠,̡ ҉f̶i͜n̴e, ̴I̷ ҉kn̨ǫw ̡s̡om͞eth͘in͝g͝.͏ ̶U̸h, ͏who's g̶ot̛ à.͝.̶. ̕yo͜u͘,͞ y͘ou͡.̛" He pointed at one of the students with her phone out and floated a little closer to her. "Go to Yo͢u̸Tu҉b͡e͡,͡ lo̶o҉k̴ ̵u҉p "͠Op͝i͟ou̷ ͟ver͘sus Stu͠ff͟ ̛S̢m͡ith"̵. ͞F̧įr͢st r̢esųlt͡."̨ The student, thankfully, complied with a smile. She looked up the video, set her volume to max, set her phone down on the central table, and played the video.

The intro started out, and Zach was mostly still, only making slight movements. Twelve seconds in, he began moving his limbs in the most fluidic manner he could muster. The whole bioelectric-specter thing helped make him look like he wasn’t completely screwing up what looked like planned choreography. And all the while, he was maintaining a near perfect position on his mental platform.

And the students gathered around were actually enjoying it.

It ain’t right to do what you’re doin’
It ain’t right so don’t be a-stoopin’
It ain’t right so baby it’s nothin’
Momma, I’m, talkin’

It ain’t love that you handed out to me
It ain’t love now don’t start to shout to me
It ain’t love so baby it’s farewell
Oh, goodbye

The problem with people asking his name is that NO ONE CARES.

*drops the mic and walks out*

@UrbanEvolution

You keep dropping that mic but you never clean it. Thing is fucking filthy. You probably have mic herpes dude.

Dam. Just looked up what Kaja meant in Egyptian, (where Kaja, his father, and most of the clan are from) turns out it means "Free Woman"

@Cuddle Pot

Thankfully most of the citizens aren't that fluent in Egyptian. At least I wouldn't expect them to be.

If anyone asks Kaja what his name means he could just bullshit them and most likely get away with it.

LAWRENCE HALE

Originally a Tier 1 Engineer, the valiant Lawrence Hale has spent time off-duty in the city of Voldoa, yet his adventuring nature has taken the best of him and instead of relaxing like an Engineer would in his time off, Lawrence continuously spends time looking for trouble in Voldoa, finding fun in getting himself into all kinds of conundrums, brawls and fights. However, he still keeps his sense of duty and will answer the call when the Engineers require him, all the while keeping stylish, no matter the time or place. He is truly your typical suave, smooth-tongued, cocky and courageous adventurer.

@GingerBoi123

Good to go, add him in with Grob.

"Uh..." Thomas replied, turning his head to Marcel. The mole-man raised a hand and said, "Non, non, is fine. I will excuse myself. Au revoir." He stood from the table and departed, leaving Coltrane and his fungal cohort to take his place.

"Yes, uh... hello again, Doctor Coltrane."

Thomas had only met Coltrane a scant few times before now. Over the most recent years, his father had forged something of a partnership with the man, often bringing him personally requested supplies and the like from the outside world. Every time Collin came back to visit Voldoa, one of his few stops would be the Doctor's combination workshop and residence. He had a feeling he knew what they conversed over, but... it wasn't a comfortable topic for him. Or any Engineer, really.

"What brings you here?" He said, somewhat expecting to have the same asked of him.

<Snipped quote by SepticGentleman>

I actually kind of like them. They'll take some getting used to, but they prevent the Allen J special "lolnerd time to timeskip and end your interaction mid-sentence!" phenomenon.

In Lordran Allen's games, the flow of time is distorted.

Zachariah is bothering people in the library.

@Tyler

Oh c'mon, he's not bothering anyone. He's just going for a normal walk. Like that one guy who was going to the store.

@SepticGentleman
Awesome.

Hm, I should post with Anna. I suspect most would be busy with the attack though, plus it's rather late. Unsure who would be out and about.

@t2wave

All the actual battle-ready characters should get just one or two posts in about them killing some dudes, then I'll write a post saying how the attack ends. After that, I'm gonna start bringing all my characters over to the next day, and everyone can follow along or wrap up what they were doing beforehand.

I know the date, time, and location stamps can make things kind of confusing. I'm considering making them purely optional, if that works better for people.
