I love those times when you've got a few really good, high-potential stories in the making and all you wanna do is write. It's like all my stars have aligned.

I also feel like the idea that there is now a hypothesised generational divide between people who used to 'RP' on IM and people who write good content on forums is pathetic. Why start this crap?

You could also have long-form stories over text, however complaining about long-form, detailed posts (as this began as), seems both ludicrous and worthy of IM.

Sometime it's less about writing some shitty slice-of-life RP in IM, and more about creating a coherent and valued story among like-minded people. Something you'd need an actual platform for.

I always forget how quiet it is here in the British mornings. Timezones are not our friend.

Name: Dan 'Metro' MacDuff
Age: 23
Height: 6'
Weight: 79 kg
Appearance:
History: Dan grew up in a very military home. For the past five generations his forefathers have served with distinguish in both the Black Watch Regiment of Scotland and the US 16th Infantry Division. Diagnosed with asthma at a young age, and therefore unable to join the armed forces, Dan's father treated him like an outcast and was cold and formal with him. Growing up on war films to try and make up for his missed opportunities, Dan desperately wanted that sense of comradeship seen in the movies, that sense of brotherhood. At 16 he joined the closest thing to it - a paintballing group who encouraged teamwork and an almost military precision, training and combat procedures. Dan flourished. He recieved his nickname 'metro' because during a week long battle he had helped organise in the middle of Massachusetts with five other paintballing groups, he constructed a trench system which went almost undetected until an enemy pissed into the trench accidentally in the night and a teammate cried out in horror, thus bearing him the name 'Metro', for 'metro tunnel system'. His father still disapproved, but was happy(-ish) to see that Dan was eager to try something similar despite his condition. Dan rose the ranks of the Shadow Fury Clan (a name which Dan would relentlessly petition against), and was 2IC at the time of the Outbreak. The SFC survived the initial tragedy, but as it was revealed later, bites and scratches carry the infection, as the force soon realised when an undead ravaged nearly 40% of the group by turning whilst in the middle of the herd and causing pure carnage. The group continued to be picked away until 4 people remained - Dan, Mike, Jim, and Cate. Cate was Dan's girlfriend at the time, but she shot herself through the temple when watching Mike gorge on Jim's intestines like spaghetti. Dan was all alone.
Personality: Normally quite shy, watchful, but can interject if he so pleases. Bright and practical, with a clear goal of trying to save everyone.
Weapon:
How is this? I always feel self-conscious making CS', mine are ugly things because I'm too lazy to make them pretty.

Ah, the ol' double post.
I was interested in the knight.
Bump.
How's the OOC coming along?
@ShuffleCat Great! It's actually quite a good series, doesn't take long to get through.
@GreenGrenade Good stuff! I do too, the premise of the novels were probably one of my favourites, so this excites me.
