Southward!

My interest was entirely predicated on a character I already had from previous uses being a good fit here. Since the full & proper explanation of things, I am somewhat less confident in said character fitting. Therefore the priority of a CS for this has taken a backburner to other endeavors. In other words, it gets done when it gets done if it gets done at all. I wouldn't advise relying or waiting on me.

@Traps Are you writing that output to any kind of database and is the randomizer reading from a file (i.e. write down a long list of possibilities and plug the file into the executable)? Me asking random off-topic programming questions .... :P

Biggest potential point of contention here is the idea of character growth. There's two ways to do it and I personally would consider one to be superior than the other in most cases.
Arbitrary: tabletop style. Raw character stats that can be increased is a purely arbitrary system. Its clear, defined, and makes comparisons and balancing very easy. This is great if you're making a tabletop-esque RPG. However, among people who come to write stories rather than play D&D (I fall into this camp most of the time where I prefer one extreme or the other, never a mix) will not favor this and would much prefer ...
Nuanced: non-quantified written description. Eliminating the need to quantify something allows it to be situational and multi-faceted in interesting ways. This becomes more difficult to enforce a balance on since the actual power level of said attribute is not quantified. This requires more faith in the players from the GM(s) but for the purposes of storytelling, is generally preferential.

So ultimately it does come down to what kind of a roleplay you want to make here. I will caveat that by reiterating that the advertising lends it to appear more as an open-option storytelling RP, rather than something that will play out similarly to tabletop roleplaying games. As long as you keep in mind what your both your current and target demographics look like, then I'll follow this through its development.

My feedback would be to point out advanced section tends to attract more writers than roleplayers. The big difference in those demographics is that writers need far less direction and structure to help advance the story.

What you have there looks very cool, but you don't want to bog people down in mechanics. In excess, it changes the target demographic away from your writers and storytellers and more towards roleplayers and tabletop fans who prefer working in a GM led, very structured environment. You probably have a good number of writer type people interested here from the way the first-post is structured.

@Traps the character in mind conveniently needs very little in the way of edits. The time period is sufficiently similar. Not in the format you'll want (yet) but I'm guessing it won't matter for an early look. So have a read if it pleases you.

@Traps I might have something for your consideration then ... but due to the inconvenience that is the last few weeks of the college semester, it will have to wait until tomorrow evening.

Ah, clockwork mechanisms make for some guuuuuuuud machine guns. :D Can I work with clockwork and gunpowder seeing as there is an efficiency in chemical propellant, or would I be limited exclusively to high-pressure steam power @Traps?

We seem to cross paths in the most unexpected of places @boomlover :P

I suppose I failed to properly convey my thoughts. I had an RP pull that just this week, and in doing so the character I had written specifically for it ended up with major incompatibilities. Fixing said issues would have robbed much of the character's personality to the point I felt the only option fair to both me and the other players was to withdraw. So that doesn't excite me at all ... its a pretty sizable red flag.

That said, my interest at least holds until I can see the OOC.

I feel like this is another case of there being far more written than is initially presented.

I mean I already have the character written from another RP. I'm in the process of generalizing it for recordkeeping. I could have the character done in an hour tops once a CS format is posted. (If she gets turned down then I'm literally shredding the CS because I will be zero for nine with this character.)

I had a character I took days lovingly revising to make wonderful. The RP died just two posts in.

I've been through five fantasy RPs in three days looking for somewhere she can fit in. This one doesn't hold promise, its perfect. Am I interested? Hell yes.
