    Nope I'll throw it up relatively soonish in the future. But jeez I exist, working on a short story for the writing contest at the moment so I apologize if I've been distant. I'll finish up the last of what characters I have in my inbox (Markie still hasn't sent me his :mad:) and then I'll post up mine. Glad to know that so many of you are onboard!

They had been secretly working with The Haven Nightly Journal, spreading propaganda that threatened the stability and security of the city. Erik was taken to the police station and before the day was out the police officer who had enlightened him, Daniel Nillon, had gained permission from Haven’s government to take him home and raise him. Now 23 and a police officer Erik does his best to preserve Haven as his new father, Daniel, had when he took away his biological parents.

    Name: Eric Wilhelm Jones
    Gender: Male

    Age: 33

    Side: Conformity

    Appearance: A mid tall blonde man who wears a black suit, his appearance is of a businessman dressed in a very correct way and a short business hairstyle. His eyes are dark and gloomy, his very face reflect no empathy at all.

    Clan/Organization: He doesn’t belong to any organization, he only works for himself.

    Brief Biography/Personality:

    A man who only believes in money. Regarding ideologies he sides with the side of progress, yet only because it assures him a stable economy. In real he prefers for the conflict to continue as it greatly helps his business. He is a man who is willing to do a wide variety of jobs if paid well enough, despite having skills as a mercenary and having contracted as such before his specialty deals as an information broker and weapon seller. Even if he thinks that the objective of the rebel is a stupid cause and their efforts are futile he is willing to do anything if they pay him an appropriate sum of money, same applies to the conformist.

    I what personality is, he seems emotionless (Despite not being so), yet he lacks empathy. He is the kind of person who would freely speak about what he cares about and not, the kind that would spit the cruel truth at you not for the sake of some sadistic fun, yet only because is part of his behavior, the kind that would outright lie to you and at if the situation requires it would outright say that he lied to you with the same straight face.

    Other: About my character, anything is free to contact him for any job xD.

    Alright here's mine

    ___

    Name: Rachel Lokean

    Gender: Female

    Age: 18

    Side:
    Haven

    Appearance: [​IMG]

    Organization:
    Haven Police

    Biography/Personality:
    Rachel was many of Haven students forced through the school system in little success. She believed in the city where she lived and believed that the government was the right side in an ever growing conflict sure, however she never achieved high grades and could hardly have any aspirations for later in life. She would simply get herself by, living with relatively little excitement as a middle child in her family of three siblings. She wasn't as smart as her older brother or cute like her little sister and forever would be labeled as a disappointment within her mind, left to push through her school years knowing that she would continue to be pushed into the same boring existence as always later in life. The only problem was she had no voice.

    She could talk just fine sure however in her usual meek nature she often found herself pushed along with the flow of things and never truly finding a voice of her own. But she was stuck into being a sheep, a small lamb eager for change but always too afraid to speak out even through the arrival of EDEN and the eventual rise of Free Thinking Clans. She didn't hate her city to turn against it and even if she did it would relatively be impossible to become anything more than a waste disposal worker.

    That was until she met Emi, a picture perfect definition of beauty and everything in her mind that represented everything she always strived to be. She was a student that embodied the characteristics of those who would forever disappear in Haven institutions, only to stay because of two key things.

    1.) She was smart, smart enough to be one of the top of her class and push towards any type of government position she could ever want.

    2.) Her father had importance within Haven government, a privilege that she always took advantage of.

    But even despite much of the resentment this girl would receive from the other students, taking in all the insults and thousands of rumors that she would eventually turn toward EDEN's side, Rachel glorified her. Under interesting circumstances that involved a couple of bloody nosed boys and a shaken up Rachel the two of them would become almost inseparable in the final years of school. To the two of them nothing else really mattered when they were together, even despite what obvious differences the two of them embodied. Chaos to Order, Smart to Dumb, however the two of them would provide each other with a friendship that could not be found within the confines of the small school system. From then on Rachel would be scorned as well for becoming part of the reason Haven was falling apart, another pawn for EDEN to use in her bloody war.

    How ironic it would become when she would become a Haven officer.

    For Rachel did not stray from loyalty to Haven, believing in the comfort and confines of the government as being a person without a voice found the most comfort in such things. A world with such freedoms and chaos frightened the girl and when it came down between waste management and a constant supply of Haven officers the girl would enlist quickly. A girl who had trouble speaking out would join the war with naive views of protecting the city she called her home, but of course most of all her best friend.

    But of course things often were never quite simple and soon enough Rachel would come to terms with what true horrors the conflict between Haven and Free Thinkers would bring. During final decisions on jobs that graduating students would be left with for the rest of their lives Rachel would make her choice and Emi would make hers. These choices would remain a catalyst for far future and horrifying conflicts that would find and change both girls lives forever. For Rachel after graduation the lost sheep would finally find a voice.

    Other: Her face is clean for the time being, but that scar will soon remain with her for the rest of her life.

    ___

    Alright that'll probably be the character I play as the most aside from some other side characters and of course EDEN herself. EDEN will be used to move the plot and Rachel will be used to play in it however I highly expect all of you to contribute in anyway you all feel as if you need to. I'll develop more of what I can of the universe of the world more in the IC but all you really need to know that I don't think I mentioned in the main thread is that Haven is a pristine and self functioning city isolated away from any outside world. With that the entire place is surrounded by a wall and outside of that wall is a far outstretched desert only filled with old tram tracks that aren't covered by the roaring sands. Anyway just if you all want to bring in characters outside of Haven or address places that may exist outside of the city just keep that in mind. All that really matters is that there are no clouds and in a community isolated down to a smaller degree that such extreme and radical views have developed in terms of the future of Haven. At least that's how I'm starting things, who knows if there'll ever be room to add more plot or lore into this world in the future.

    I don't really believe I need a character sheet for EDEN as she's relatively straightforward however if you do want one I'll post one up as quickly as I can. Still aside from Markie we relatively have all the characters down so far to start up the main thread. Should be fun!

    Then to answer your previous question I believe we have enough people for me to throw up an intro post. I'll post up what I can tomorrow when it isn't...midnight.

    As you don't have enough posts and time in the forum you can't edit yet. So..
    Would you like me to do a list of characters in the second post (my post) in the first page, so you can have things organized?

    Actually I can edit, however I'm heading off to bed so it might be easier if you want to start that now. I suddenly realized that I'm waking up in six hours so it's probably best if I head off now. Still hopefully when I post tomorrow I may match what you guys are looking for in this RP. Thanks for the help though Asune!

    No offense @Keitsumah, but I have to agree with @Simpson17866 here. Besides, we have a lot to tighten up in what we've written so far...

    I feel like we are in the midst of one of the best inside jokes I've seen on the internet.

    @Macaberz "Offense"? I was trying to make it a joke. If I failed and it came across as condescending, I'm sorry, but then why would you agree with it? ... Hoping this is still a joke ;)

    Do we have a limit to how long posts are supposed to be? Because I kinda have 400 words already and it's not even 1/3 of the post yet...

    If it would make you more comfortable, I guess you could just break it up into 500-700 words now and 500-700 more after two or three other posts come up, but honestly? 1200 words this early strikes me as a good thing ;)

    To me I could care less about post length as long as it is the amount you feel is necessary to convey the story you wish to. To that I do not care if it is one line (I dare any of you to try this) or an entire novel if you feel that everything to want to get across in that post is presented in an effective manner.

    To that I'll refrain from posting up a novella in the intro post as I do have something relatively big for the beginning. Sorry if this throws any of you off and your already preconceived posts however it is something I have to get across to really get the overall conflict moving. Hopefully I may get everything up tonight.

    It's nice to have all of you on board!

    I finally finished drawing Rogue (or is is called photoshopping when you draw in photoshop?).

    Anyway, it's here.

    And yes, I was kinda working way too fast after I had finished the face and the left side of the hair so everything except that looks kind of messed up... messed up compared to the usual quality of my work anyway.

    I apologize for any future lateness for getting the intro post up as I've been back and forth between getting enough sleep to function and completing any actual work. The post is on hold and so far two days late from when I intended to post it but know that I am alive and well with hope that things will be better come November 1st.

    Also Tara the picture looks lovely, as with all of your art. Keep at it and never second guess yourself in terms of self achievement as you are in the end your hardest critic. Take time to appreciate what you can do!

    Thanks :D

    I don't mind if you get your intro post up a little late, but if it's gonna be much later chances are that I have written an entire novel on my characters and I intend to post what I've written, so be warned ;)
