Your html is borked for the "character guidelines" link; you need to remove the \ from the front of the url.

Oh, yeah, I hate that. You can turn it off under Tools-->AutoCorrect Options in the "autoformat" and "autoformat as you type" tabs.

Except I'm on my boyfriend's computer, and don't want to muck with his settings, but yeah. XD I sometimes forget that autocorrect even exists, I've had it turned off so long at home~

OMIGOD YES 8D You... you are too awesome. <3

I'm already working on an application for VIJ, though... I'm not sure how to play her without a Molly. :B I may have to work on another character first if I can't figure her out. WHOEVER I END UP PLAYING I'M DOING THIS eeee god I'm all spazzy now

Hee! Hee! Hee!

If you like, I could pick up Molly. :O The opening plot will keep me from playing as her for a bit, since I'll be NPCing Captain and any alliance races we need and that'll keep me busy, but I'd love to play out a little orphan VIJ plot once the game gets rolling. :3

Eeeeeee would you?? :D :D :D That would be so awesome. <333 Because the more I thought about it the more I realized that yeeaaaahh, VIJ just Does Not Work without a Molly. XD And I can totally wait for everything to get settled. I'm just excited to play at all. <3

YAAAY Oh man thank you 8D If you want I could write out a quick bio sheet or something for Molly, or you could totally make up her background and personality and such since I've pretty much got nothing down on her. XD
Eeehee, I MIGHT. Though I'll probably wait a little bit to get into the swing of things before adding another character. :B

I wouldn't mind having whatever info you have~ or any ideas you have about her, but I think I can summon up something about right for a VIJful plot. :D

Heeee <333 I'M SO GLAD YOU LIKE HER AND WANT TO PLAY WITH HER <333 I can't wait to see how you play Molly. 8D The only bad thing about being in Florida right now is that I'm away from my laptop. I want to write about theeeem

Also! Are we planning on starting out when they first meet or are we going to say they've been together for a bit now? I figured we'd go with the former but I just thought I'd make sure. :B

It shall be MASSIVELY fun! Hee hee~ And I shall probably play her like a scientist who's fascinated by other cultures and so on. :3 (As a quick question, d'you think she's more soft-science or hard-science?)

When they first meet, of course. :O Though it'll have to wait until after the RP is launched and I get through the opening scenes.

I am absolutely overjoyed to hear of this, and am writing a character. However, I need information. When, exactly, is this going to take place, please? Also, where will we start?

THAT'S A LOT OF CREDITS. :O

The plan was that the RP starts a couple months after the end of the game, giving the Chmmr time to crack open the Syreen and Spathi slaveshields, but not the Unzervalt one. I'm working on the assumption that the Sa-Matra is destroyed mid-2158, so the RP will start August of the same year.

Thank you! However, I still need to know where we start, as I need to justify Thicket going there - even Supox professors need excuses to get of lecturing!

Well, the opening plot will have a interstellar discussion board (take a look at the profile for [info]freestarscaster); basically, there'll be an open channel for discussion of an openly broadcast decision); your character could make arrangements to go on field studies there.

All the species in the Alliance will be sending people back and forth, too, for the purpose of cementing bonds and diplomacy, and learning about each other. Your character could easily get a berth on a diplomatic vessel. :3

OH MAN if i wasn't busy enough with my current RPs I'd be all over this one. :B although the temptation to be ZEX is so hard to resist. I'M SUCH A ZEXWIFE but i could always go for like... I dunno, an Umgah or one of my mad scientists or something if someone else wants to play him.

SECONDING OCTAL LEIK WOAH

No one else has expressed interest in playing ZEX yet. O3 And you can pick up two characters right off the bat, so there's nothing to stop you from playing both ZEX and an OC. All you'd have to do is come up with a marginally plausible way for ZEX to be still alive~

... dooooooo iiiiiiit.... <3

1) Plausible isn't THAT hard; ZEX dies off-screen after all. ;)

2) Yes.

1)Also, the quest with him is optional, so the bit with the beast doesn't necessarily even happen.

... though considering the Shofixti/revolution/rejoining plotline has been carried out in RP!canon... >.>;;

But yes. From Zarla, I'd take "because he's AWESOME and only a god could play him better than I could" as a valid reason for him to be alive. :B

I have nearly finished my character - all I need is the third person text. I have been somewhat preoccupied with other things, such as my maths mocks, so it has not been getting the attention it deserves. I hope to send it tomorrow, K.O.?

Haha, the anonymouse was you, I suppose? XD;;

There's no problem except that RL ate me. XD;; Most of the work I did on the RP was over spring break, while I was stuck at my boyfriend's house for hours on end while he was working. Afterwards, school consuuuumed me and chewed on my brain-- which it'll be done with on Monday, the last day I take final exams. I'll probably sleep for a couple days, then get back to work on RP-things.

... though I suppose I could toss together a really quick dressing room RP for the lulz...

Anyway. |D I'm still working (if sporadically) on stuff for the RP. <3 It'll be running soon-ish, probably~ just. Y'know. College is like zombies in a way: eats your brain and can only be defeated with shotguns. Wait, that doesn't work. >.>

*Goes back to working on her final art project*

I hope you're not offended by my constant requests for updates.
