Bio

I have been writing as a hobby for longer than you have been alive. I have been a regular member and roleplayer of no less than fourteen different online forums during that time (including the old RPG), five six eight of which no longer exist.

I was previously a regular on the Homestuck forums, but I became so sick of thread turnover there that I asked around and eventually found the Guild. Since joining, I have exclusively only participated in Advanced RPs. Before Mahz gave NRPs their own subforum, I used to be an NRP regular in the Advanced Subforum. I am a Guildfall survivor, and know/regularly write with a few others.

If you ask anybody who has written with me in previous RPs, they should tell you that I have a generally open schedule, I post regularly and in a timely fashion, and I never drop an RP once I join unless the thread dies. Some of them may tell you that I have extensive expertise within the realms of Biology, Psychology, and Physics, which I will make no effort to validate since there is no way I can provide hard proof of aforementioned alleged expertise to anybody over the internet (though I am happy to try and answer any questions you send my way).

My favorite fandom is the Myst franchise, which seemingly nobody other than me has ever heard of.

I was a Contest Moderator for the Writing Contests Subforum for just a little bit over two years. I wrote the Moderation Policy for that subforum and I ran a contest called the Twelve Labours; you can still go there and see all of them and the entries people wrote for them in the Contests Section and the Victory Archives.

I have been quadruple secret banned from the guild discord. That is not a joke.

Hey look everyone, a chatzy link.
When do we start?


@Keyguyperson mentioned they were somewhat busy at the moment, but once everything had cleared up they would take a solid look through the Nation Sheets and post to let us know which ones had been approved. So presumably sometime around then.
I'm still waiting on @Snaketicus's word. If they don't return an answer I'll modify what I do have and proceed regardless.
If you'd like. There's no strict posting order I'm aware of. Feel free to post now if you want to.

If you wanted to jump into the scene with Charis and Jackson, I can even withhold posting.
Ok, THERE we go.

Although I am once again left confused as to how precisely we should proceed. Can we get a scenic description/picture/setting for the Mansion, perhaps a directive for what our characters should be doing when they show up?
So hey, going to go ahead and post tomorrow.

@Snaketicus, do you mind if I directly describe Jackson as being bit by the flechette gun and falling over dead, akin to what we discussed earlier? I'll leave the actual descriptive details and such to you. I was hoping to just have Charis start the fire and then skedaddle, but she'd only do so if she got the initial impression that Jackson was actually dead.

Alternatively, would you like me to keep her around for when he shows up a second time, or only include the action itself and let Jackson react to it more actively, what?
So hey @Darkmatter, I said it in the chat but you apparently missed it. Here is it again.

I know you're used to collaborating RT with other posters in syncpads, but that sort of arrangement is more suited for an NRP setting. For a character and in-the-moment setting like this one, it's better to just play by post in the traditional fashion. Sure, you aren't always going to be able to bang out thirty paragraph long scenes per post, but it's the overarching quality and direction of the story and plot that matters.

My next post, for example, is basically just going to be Charis shooting Jackson in the chest and then running away. Two paragraphs, tops, unless somebody else enters the scene or I decide to throw in some additional event details elsewhere.

I feel confident that as long as everybody doesn't get carried away with rapid-fire posting in scenes with multiple characters, there's no reason we can't play by post in the normal fashion while also making steady and regular progress.

This is me telling you to post please. '-'
Keyguy, I'm scared. I don't know why I am scared to be reading your entry but... I am absolutely terrified.
And I need to work on my own, now that TTL is over and done with. Crap. But I have to work on a latin paper tonight. D:
