EDIT: I was being an idiot, sorry. Found the application, will work on it tomorrow!

The Knights of Songbird ~ A Bioshock Roleplay

My deepest condolences, Lamb. I've tried to post up something but, it's going to take a while for me to get into the 'swing' of things so to speak. And there isn't much for Poppy to say on the matter.

Hopefully Nightwing is also around - I'd love to do a collab with him/her at some point!

The Knights of Songbird ~ A Bioshock Roleplay

Poppy's face fell into that of fear, the moment she saw the man with the rabbit mask. Almost instantaneously she reverted into something a bit more monstrous, pulling her hand away from Daniel's and putting her ADAM syringe to her lips, guzzling the fluid with grunting noises, letting the bright red blood dribble down her cheeks. Only when the rabbit man skulked off did she wipe her mouth and look over at Kennedy with a look of apparent fear. Paralyzed with the notion of what is to come, she just shakes her head, choked up with the inability to really explain what the issue is with Mr. Cohen.

Instead, she just whimpers quietly, clinging to Daniel's dress trousers even tighter than before.

The 'Correction' Operation

Could've -sworn- there was a backstory to that app when I read it in the PM, Hovel! And the backstory was fine, too. :<

The 'Correction' Operation - A government controlled post-war military system

As we've said before, we're still looking for new members! If you're interested in some kind of post-apocalyptic shootout with necromorphs, winged people and some pretty serious rebellion themes, then come take a look.

The 'Correction' Operation

On topic of 'cheeriness' levels...Maria's very laid back as a character. She's not as super peppy and friendly as the inexperienced, new-girl Stealth Leader Amelia. So you've got a mix of different people to talk to in terms of the GM.

IDK what the offence team leader is like because he hasN'T PUT DOWN A PERSONALITY YET WE'RE WAITING HOVELMEIR NO RUSH

But you've got a cheery one, a laid-back one, and probably some sort of stern manly-man who oozes testosterone by the lorryload. Or a very gentle and kind butterfly. Who knows?

The 'Correction' Operation

App Ciphra

Soran closed himself off to most people, only opening up to the stealth teams leader, and became a shadow shortly after his sisters death.

Strengths(Max 3) - Flexibility, Accuracy, Speed

Weaknesses(At least 3) - Long range, Technology, Chemical weapons.

FEARS (VERY IMPORTANT - becoming attached to people.

Alright, above I found a few things that you might want to think about changing. It's a good app, mind!

● Closing himself off of people, but then joining the military? I suppose it'll work, in a way. I'll get to that later, but you don't have to change it if you don't want to.

●I believe Spriggs was on point here (Bonus points to Spriggs!) and pointed this bit out already - but yes, 'Accuracy' and 'Long range' as a Strength then a weakness tend to counteract each other. If you put 'Accuracy (In close combat)' or something similar, it'd clear it up for other people. (Especially me and Jess, who tend to look through accepted apps quite often to make sure everything lines up with our rules when other people read them. Maybe because it's 7am, but it took me AGES to figure out what you meant.)

● How would you be able to RP with anyone without becoming attached to them? I get why this is a fear, though it seems you've become attached to the Stealth Team leader in your backstory. Unless you mean romantically attached to someone. Again, if you clear that up, that's be lovely.

Now, I should probably make a little announcement because me and Jessikka were talking about it earlier, and we're quite worried.

It seems everyone is making the 'troubled' military character sort of app - and we're not mad at you for that. Deaths of family members and friends help harden the character so that deaths of their enemies have less traumatic impact on them, and they're all actually got something in common and know how each other's pain feels. By all means, keep your characters the way they are - we look forward to meeting them all.

What we're worried about is that, at the first chance when they aren't training/on missions, they'll all 'stroll off somewhere quiet to think' and expect others to, naturally, come and ask about their thoughts. The issue arises when it's in other people's CS that they aren't prone to approaching people in conversation, and that's when one reaches a standstill, nobody can think of what to post, interest dies and people leave.

Now, like I said before - We do not want you to change your entire personality for this one little worry. We -like- your characters, else we wouldn't have accepted them. As GMs, the leaders will try to bring people together (Not forcibly like those 'team building exercises', but more out of concern for the bonds between the teams) but all we're asking in return is that your character, at the very least, co-operates with the team leaders OR partakes in conversation with the other members of the RP.

I mean, me, Jess, and Hovel can have the team leaders go and talk to Ciphra's character Soran and point him towards Ash for help on the death of his sister and how to cope with it, but if Spriggs sticks to her character and Ash pushes Soran away because he doesn't understand what the death of a husband and 2 kids feels like - then Soran and Ash don't have anyone to RP with. (IDK if I explained that very well. ^^")

And besides! Having a backstory gives people the opportunity to have things in common and/or reveal parts of the backstory when appropriate, but if none of us talked to each other and made a close enough trust bond between characters to do that in the first place, then why have a backstory at all?

---

On a completely unrelated point, I'm so impatient. I really want this RP on the road! \o/ Of course, we're waiting on Hovel to finish his CS (Lettin' the team down there, mister~~~) and for a few more members, but if you want this RP started faster, then I invite you guys to keep bumping the interest check. Like what I'm about to do right now.

The 'Correction' Operation

No changes, no changes~ We're just finalizing things behind the scenes. Making sure that there aren't any gaps in our information and, more importantly, working on that plot.

Right, I'll check Ciphra's app now. :3

The 'Correction' Operation

<------ Can't do math. ;-;

The 'Correction' Operation

Hagura said
3 people? I dunno if I wanna join with only three people.

6, including myself, Jess, and Hovelmeier. On top of that, we'll be starting the IC early whilst we gain more members so that the original ones aren't bored silly waiting for at least 8 people to join. In saying such, you're effectively giving off the message that you don't want to join an RP that's only -just- started, despite the fact we're waiting for at least a handful of people so that we can provide the entertaining part - the IC part - earlier than others usually do, since there is a GM and 2 co-GMs to keep activity rolling.

So I'm afraid I don't see any problem in joining because there are 3 'members', since there are also 3 GMs.
