A friend of mine once told me that 'it's only ego if you can't back it up'. Too many people like to confuse confidence for arrogance -- there's a big difference.

Not to get all psychological, but some people are actually just 'wired' to take things people say literally. I'm like that to an extent, but I've learned that people here are usually just shitposting.

Happy Anniversary, Ailyn. Six years ago, you gave me a kindred soul, and brought light into a life which for all intents and purposes had been mostly nothing but darkness.

Valentine's Day's bittersweet when you've endured a long-distance relationship for over five years. Here's to celebrating the strength of a meaningful bond, instead of taking a shallow and easy path.

This bio will get reconstructed once I've left the site for good. I'll be collecting my data in the background for now, and sorting some loose ends. I'll be on and off to do it, so don't think I'm back if you see me around. Once I've dealt with everything, I'll log out properly and remove my 'ghost' status, and that'll be the last this site sees of me. This community is in serious need of growing up, and I'm not the least bit surprised that role-plays die here so frequently.

The 'Grim Reaper's Gambit' role-play is likely to reboot elsewhere eventually. The role-play will have some modifications, so contact me if you're curious since the original project won't accurately explain everything. There's no determined date for it to happen yet, since I've got other priorities and I'm not investing a lot of time in it until enough of the people interested have free time to properly commit (lack of dedication on the part of some players practically destroyed the previous version; it's very apparent it would've died even if I hadn't decided to leave). There's a group that're quite interested, but most of them are busy.

Anyway, come back later for an update later -- or don't; it's your life.

Contact Details

Tell me who you are or I possibly won't accept the request, since I assume most requests are bots.
Yes, people who I rarely/never spoke to - or who never met me - while I was still here are welcome.
No, those who disrespected me (and aren't sorry) while I was here or are trolls/immature in general aren't welcome.
Also, keep in mind that not all of these are currently being used actively, so friend request replies might be delayed on some of them.

Playstation Network (PSN): Shoryu_Magami
(I'm fairly easy to contact through here, though I'm not really gaming much due to my main project's workload.)

Discord: Shoryu Magami#4323
(Unlike Skype, I primarily text chat on this instead of voice chat. It's currently one of the easiest ways to find me. It causes my PC a lot of problems though.)

Skype: solitaryangel1983
(Usually running on my phone, mostly so I can talk to my fiancΓ©, so it's easy to find me here. I've currently got no access to it on PC. It might take a while to see requests.)

Facebook: James Koutsoukis - Shoryu Magami
(Barely ever on this, but it exists. Mostly exists so @Ailyn Evensen can list me as her fiancΓ©. You'll find me easily on messenger if you add me, but I don't do much else.)

Yahoo IM: shoryu_magami
(Does this even still exist anymore? It used to be my main method of text chat, but it's not on my current PC.)

"It's not the result of one's life that's important.
It's the day-to-day concerns, the personal victories, and the celebration of life... and love.
It's enough if people are able to experience the joy that each day can bring."

As my fiancΓ© said previously, I suggest you give a thorough read over all my rules and tutorials in the opening post before you post up a 'Public CS' like this (same goes for the 'Private CS' you sent). I've put a lot of rules and specifications for how character sheets have to be presented, the way writing works here, and the sort of images we're using, and you've more or less ignored a lot of it.

Also, the 'Private CS' had a lot of information (such as 'Biography') pretty much listed as unknown -- you've completely missed the point that it's impossible for your character to keep secrets in this role-play from certain NPCs. The characters were invited here because someone knows everything (personality, history, secrets, thoughts, et cetera) about them, and so the whole point of the 'Private CS' is to allow me to write those who possess such knowledge of your character without all that information being spoiled to the other players. There's no exceptions to this -- every player character must follow the rules, regardless of how long they'll remain alive.

Until this is all taken into account, I'll avoid commenting about the character themselves. I like the idea of the unique culture this character has compared to the rest of our cast so far, but you'll need to put a lot of work into this if I'm going to be able to accept it -- I'm not able to as it currently is, since it'll be unfair to both myself and to everyone who followed all my rules. If you have questions, feel free to run them by me, but I've got no intention of compromising my rules.

Normally I'd say this over PM instead of in the thread, but I want anyone else who enters this thread to consider this a valuable reminder. I'm aware that I pointed you in the direction of this thread, but that doesn't change the situation.

@tsukune

Looking cool, and we've already gone over everything we needed to. Epic piece of music by the way -- I've been listening to it a lot since this CS introduced me to it. I've never gotten around to watching that anime, but if this is the quality of its OST then I'm definitely gonna look into the other tracks. Anyway, good work -- this has been accepted, so I'm just waiting on the 'Private CS' now.

On a side note, we've finally got another guy. The curse of the 'let's give Bonaparte (or Leonard) a harem' has been slightly lifted.

@Ailyn Evensen

Honestly not surprised you picked that piece of music, since it fits the character and it's always been a favourite of yours -- I like it a lot too, and I've been listening to it similar to tsukune's pick. Since we'd discussed things beforehand over phone and whatnot, I've obviously got no problems here and I'll just be waiting for the 'Private CS' before getting you to post this over to the character tab. I already know that what you've got planned for it's appropriate, but I figured it's best to follow standard procedure so no one feels like I'm giving you special treatment. I'm really liking this character though, so looking forward to seeing her in action.
@Vilageidiotx

No problem -- I guess what works in context and what doesn't is pretty subjective. To be perfectly honest, I'm not familiar with any of these 2016 references you guys're making at all, but then I seldom ever show any interest in the mainstream. The only exception is Bernie's bird. Any of the other ones that clicked in my head as recognizable didn't feel like 2016 so much as they felt like something that's been going on for years now (people being obsessed with memes, for example).

I also thought it might be amusing if Clockles got a chance to destroy his creation (or vice versa), but alas it was not meant to be.

Anyway, nothing else to really offer on my end since I try to avoid pop culture.
Two hundred and twenty-one.
Two hundred and nineteen.
Two hundred and eighteen.
As for my own contribution, I'm nominating ClocktowerEchos' interest check, 'cause it was posted in 2016, and let's be fuckin' honest here kids... it will stay with us forever.
