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.)

@Gohan

You too. I figured there wasn't much point keeping up to date here until Raddum gets back to us -- the holidays are probably distracting him.

Most of my efforts have been on setting my own role-play up, alongside trying to motivate myself not to leave this site -- I've had multiple reasons for thinking I should, and whether it happens or not'll likely be at least partly determined by the outcome of that role-play.

Anyway, how're you doing?
I think it's time for a widespread notification and update for everyone.

Before I say anything -- I'd like to wish you all a belated Merry Christmas, and I hope you all have a great New Year. 2016 has - in all honesty - been a complete train wreck for a variety of reasons, even in my own life personally. I guess here's hoping that the next year coming is an improvement, and I'd like this role-play to be something that can provide you all with enjoyment.

Since Ellion hasn't responded to me either in PM or through the notification they got here recently, I'm assuming they're out and won't bother notifying again.

@Ailyn Evensen

'Private CS' has been accepted too, so go ahead and post your 'Public CS' over into the character tab.

@Aewin@Pudding@Melo@tsukune

I appreciate you guys (and Ailyn) taking the time to get things going with your character sheets without needless delay (I know tsukune hasn't finished his 'Private CS', but I imagine it's only a matter of time now). I hope you enjoy the role-play, which is now essentially open for people who want to start early and write their character's experiences/interactions/et cetera prior to us making our way to the primary setting. You're not obligated to do this, so consider it an option if you'd enjoy it -- I'll notify everyone once they officially need to start posting.

Aewin and Melo -- once you two aren't busy, I'd appreciate you making the edit in your character sheets involving replacing 'Trivia' with 'Notes'. I appreciate you doing it already, Pudding, so cheers for that.

@Eidolen@MayLien@Masaki Haruna@CrazyShadowy

I'm aware that some of you're busy with the holidays and such, so I don't mind that there hasn't been any communication in the thread itself yet, especially since you've been contacting me outside of it. Just try to get your characters together as soon as you're able to (I know a couple of you have sent me basic ideas over PM and such), because I'd like to not have this role-play become just another thread to die before it even begins like so many seem to on this site.

@Bishop

Haven't heard from you since the interest check, so I'd appreciate if you give me an idea on your status with this.

Status updates:

  • Leonard Christian-Walker's 'Public CS' has received a few more little improvements.

  • Lucifer Van Bonaparte's CS was also improved slightly.

  • The opening IC post has been touched up to make it look how I wanted ideally, and as stated previous the role-play is now unofficially open.

  • Accepted 'Private CS' PMs will soon receive an additional PM from me, and I'd prefer if nobody actually respond to those, since I want to keep those PM threads limited to your CS and the reply.
I sent a PM to one of the moderators six days ago, and asked to have this thread deleted. Since it's still up, I figured I'd post it here. Just make sure you don't delete the real thread by mistake -- only the one in this post.

@King Tai

(Mmm, yeah. Honestly, it's not due to someone getting on my nerves or anything this time. I'm just genuinely getting bothered by how much this site is holding back the work of my main project. I feel like I'm sabotaging my life's work to be here, and I can't let that happen. Even if I left, I'd be making sure friends had a way to contact me. I've been planning on opening up a discussion channel involving my main story project anyway. At this point I'm mostly working out if the site itself is worth my time, and since role-playing is the primary thing on this site - since I can communicate with friends elsewhere - it makes sense to let role-play decide the outcome.)

Two hundred and forty-six.
@King Tai

(Cheers. Been having another one of my 'maybe I'd be better off if I wasn't on this site' periods, basically. It's more or less being going on for a day or so. I think I've pretty much settled on letting the condition of that role-play I'm hosting be the determining factor, since even if I think I shouldn't be here I wouldn't abandon a good project or the people who're following it.)

Two hundred and forty-four.
@King Tai

(I won't be able to post too much, since things're getting worse in a few ways, but hey dude -- hope you're well.)

Two hundred and forty-two.
@pkken

Situation's changed again. My circumstances got even worse, so I definitely won't have time to read through any information about the source material for now. I'll leave it up to you if you're still interested in seeing what I had at the present time, but I'm getting to that point where I don't know if I'd be a reliable player and I don't like committing to things unless I'll actually commit to them -- I hate flaky GMs and flaky players, so I won't be a hypocrite.

Just notify me if you want me to PM my idea -- I'll leave you guys alone otherwise, at least until I can confirm if I'm truly able to get involved. As it currently stands there's an average probability I'll be leaving the site as a whole. Sort of going to let the outcome of my main role-play decide that, since I don't have any intentions of abandoning that project if people are sticking with it.
@Pudding

The plan I've had in mind for the last couple months has been to PM everyone I consider worth keeping in touch with and giving them access to my contact details elsewhere, assuming I go through with it. I've more or less done this with some people already, as you yourself know.
@Pudding

Pretty much.

I really just don't know how I feel about everything. I reckon I'll probably leave it up to the whole situation with GRG. I don't plan to abandon that project, especially when people are devotedly interested in it, but if it goes nowhere I'll probably take my leave from the site just so I can focus on my more important work -- when all is said and done, I can communicate with friends off this place.
@Pudding

I'll keep that in mind. I usually don't know what to talk about on my end due to how incredibly messy the situation is.

I just figured the change was for your role-play, since I did that myself.
