I-I-Introduction

[as-you-command.livejournal.com]

Hello! My name is Pip. Introductions are always awkward for me, so I'll make it brief~

For my first character in the game, I'm going to be bringing in this huge stick in the mud barrel of fun, Guilford, from Code Geass. If no one recognizes the character, that's fine. I'm used to it. /sob

(I'm also going to be working on an application for a gal from the Warhammer 40k universe, but that's later on! )

As for me, I, uh, tag like a fiend, except during work hours or when I sleep (which is rarely) and I live in the US in the central time zone. My contact info is on Guil's journal, and I'm always up for plotting and the like. Most of my characters sort of live-and-breathe plot, even if it's small time. /addicted to such

It's good to be here, and I'm looking forward to getting to play with you all soon!

Voting for March's Theme

[passingmod.livejournal.com]

I know this wasn't scheduled to go up until the day we open, but since Leah was kind enough to give us a ton of good suggestions, we have enough to get voting! Please only vote once, and the winner will be our theme for March. Losing themes will appear again next month in the voting unless we get a ton and I have to cull the least popular out.

Theme participation is optional, so if you hate the one that wins, feel free to ignore the entirety of it for the duration of the month. I'll write up the info post on March's theme, which will contain a bunch of pictures and description about potential settings, and ideas for plotting. Actual plotting will happen in the same post. In the future, I'd be perfectly happy to take volunteers to write up the info posts if someone is particularly enthusiastic or knowledgeable about a theme.

ANYWAY, let's get to voting! Here's the descriptions for each theme:

Wild West: What it sounds like! Stuck in the wild west.
Underwater: Potentially in the city of Atlantis, you're all underwater. Mer-people abound.
Pegasus: A beautiful city in the interior of Earth, covered with flowers and a great forest. In the forest is a pond, and the pure may encounter a pegasus and even be able to ride it for a wonderful chance to fly.
Dark / Nightmare: A definite nightmare. Darkness, death, decay is everywhere: dead friends, rotting corpses, violent strangers, a broken-down city.
Don't Wake Me Up: A perfect dream. Everything conspires to bring contentment and happiness: seemingly better relationships, jobs, living accommodations, whatever. The catch is, staying too long will be deadly in one form or another.
Still Dreaming: Basically the classic, "you wake up into another dream" scenario. Terrifying situations where the characters keep waking up every so often, still stuck within an equally terrifying situation. Rife with potential for characters not realizing that they're still dreaming.
Into the Dream: Characters play out events from their daily lives with other characters.
Underwear: It has to happen sometime! You're all suddenly in your underwear.
Road Trip: Everyone is divided into cars and is going on a road trip.
Be a Rock Star: Like above, everyone is divided into groups, only this time they're in a band.
Let's Do a Play: Everyone is part of a theatre troupe putting on a play.
Video Games: You're in some kind of video game. Team up, collect items, beat monsters.

[Poll #1713701]

VOTING WILL CLOSE MARCH 7. Ordinarily voting will last a week, but because it took time to get suggestions this month, it's going to be a short voting process. ;3; Sorry about that, guys!

Feel free to spam and try to garner up support for your theme of choice in the comments. B)

Finally, would anyone be interested in us putting up a post explaining our app process? I realized that there's more going on behind the scenes when we review apps than is probably apparent, so if you guys are curious, I'd be more than willing to do a post that explains how we decide and what we look for. Transparency is good for everyone, after all.

So I decided why not and jumped right in with two characters at once.

This is Ellen Reid from a little PS3 game called Folklore. If you like Celtic myths, views of the afterlife, faeries and all that? You reaaaally need to give Folklore a look. Ellen is a painter at heart hailing from Dublin, Ireland where she's currently attending an art college. She comes complete with clumsy tendencies (particularly relating to teapots) and a shy sort of personality. She's not too adept at making friends but she's not a bad girl. Here's her info post.


And the second is Saya Otonashi from the series Blood+. Saya hails from post series and since she's in her thirty year hibernation mode, she's preeeetty much going to be a permanent resident of the dreaming here much like dead characters are. She's got a huge appetite, absolutely no social skills with men (considering her best bud is a guy with one facial expression who likes to stalk her rather than, y'know, say hi and explain things) and more than a little worn out now from years and years of fighting with her twin sister. Here's her info post.

As for myself? You can call me Melon. I'm in a lovely EST timezone, I have both AIM (HelloMelonbread) and Plurk (IAmTheMurderer). I don't tag like wildfire, unless I happen to be in the mood, and I'm pretty easy going on plots. BUT HEY, IF YOU GOT IDEAS, I'M ALL EARS BB.
